Dieter17: Yeah, sorry about that, I'm the type of guy who is rather impatient but wants the details, and for not wanting it to be a slash let me remind you for a final time a poll will be up in the future and all that and yes it is above my skill but I like learning on the job . Making Harry dark is still undecided, depending on how this whole thing ends up and it's pathway, I'm not the one who created this idea, I'm just the writer, editor and slave to both my sis and friend, lost a bet so I do what they say for the rest of this story and since my friends in a coma my sis is taking full rein in this and I'm a guy of my word. And I'm yes I'm not just gonna give him a super phoenix or basilisk, and I am making him earn his things but take in mind that I am not used to writing gamefics and other but I'm learning and guys like you are welcome so I know what I did wrong and other stuff like that. Hope you enjoy on what's to come.
kwerli: That is part of the plan but a poll will be up on how it comes up, on the side of one-sided feelings from both sides of gender, the poll will be up either 1st to 4th year to decide and be finalized on his 5th year, I might open it early just to be safe and prepare.
Remzal Von Enili: Blaming on my weird sense of taste and I've been forced to eat it at least twice, it's not that bad, I just ignore some of the flavor and viola. And yes, his granddaughter is Natsu minus his male genitalia and maybe in the future there will be a sidestory about her meeting her male counterpart and guild but that would be spoiling things wouldn't it *whistling innocently*
bloodyreaper300: Yes your sandwich, and it tasted delicious :D
Let's get this over with
Chapter 9
Grinding his teeth he focused on washing the dishes as the obnoxious laugh of Marge Dursley rang around the room accompanied by her kin, not even a full day in he already felt the need to spear all their heads on a pike and prance around their dead bodies as they burned with their house accompanying them in the background, oh he really wanted to run away or threaten them but now was not the right time, besides soon enough he'll be rewarded by his patience. it was Christmas Eve, as soon as they would go sleep he would receive his very first gift and the second day would gift him his second, he needed to stay at the Dursleys since it told him he can only get them in safe zones and since the only safe zones were closed for the holidays and he wouldn't be able to find another he had to stay in this 'safe' zone.
Glancing at the family that were porking on his cooking, well Petunia was just silently and calmly eating the rest of the family were porking on their share and getting more from the feast he had cooked. He wished he had some rat poison and such but Petunia was not as dumb as she seems, she had hidden away anything that he could use against them the ones that weren't were not enough to fatally kill them or make them suffer greatly, just a stomachache or something uncomfortable. Glancing at the tables that was being used by the pigs and horse he felt annoyed at the amount of dishes that would be added to his already large amount of dishes from cooking he inhaled and exhaled deeply to keep calm.
'Ignore them. Ignore them. Ignore them' he thought as it became the daily mantra it seemed as it was becoming harder and harder to ignore them with Christmas coming and since it was already Christmas Eve it took all his being in keeping the mantra in his mind, body and soul so he could get his gift the minute it came out. He would not miss tonight or tomorrow. He dare not fantasize on what he would get as it would break his mantra and he feared he would miss the chance to get it as it came out so he focused on cleaning the dishes and keeping the mantra going in his head.
Luckily for him the night flew by without much of hitch beside the occasional snide remark towards him by them, they had decided in turning in early for whatever reason he didn't care but he was relieved. Harry sagged into his bed as Vernon locked the cupboard and headed upstairs, making sure to stomp each time he took a step on the stairs followed by Marge and Dudley, Harry didn't mind the dust and spiders that fell on him after they had their stompfest, gently as possible he let the spiders down on the shelves and dusted himself, he could've swore the spiders had waved at him in thanks but he had forgotten that as soon as he remembered.
Opening the store he looked at the fated timer.
03:30:49
3 hours, he could wait 3 hours. And wait he did. For three hours he sat there watching the timer, his excitement never wavered one bit, he did eat dinner when his stomach made itself known and reminding him he needed to eat something, he even bought more than usual to celebrate the event. Harry had switched to his battle clothes to be more comfortable, on his lap was an empty plate and on a nearby shelf was a nearly empty glass or juice, it was a special kind of juice he had bought from the store, it changed color and flavor each time he picked up the glass, when he drunk it it had changed from orange to apple to grape and even strawberry, it was a growing favorite as expected. Drinking the last of the juice, mmm pineapple, he put the cutlery in his inventory, he would wash them tomorrow with the rest of the dishes after breakfast. Looking at the timer he had spent a good 40 or so minutes taking his time.
He almost dozed off because he was still 6-7, he couldn't really remember in his sleepy state, suddenly he felt a jolt of energy rush through his body, Harry looked around before settling on the screen, his eyes widened in amazement and his lips formed into a real bright smile that he hadn't done since he had found out about the Christmas Event.
CONGRATULATIONS YOUR HOLIDAY GIFT IS HERE
CLICK TO CLAIM
Harry looked on excitedly before almost slamming his hand on the claim option, in a burst of colors the screen turned into various pixels and dispersed around him, circling him in a show of light, he looked around following a trail of pixels as it circled him flashing various colors before returning back to his front and with apprehension he waited with a bated breath, the pixels swirled around each other before forming and solidifying into an egg-shaped object, no wait it really was an egg. It looked beautiful, a pure white egg with intricate designs swirling around it moving all on it's own, he held his hands out, right under it and it slowly floated down into his waiting palms. Harry looked in wonder, it felt warm, smiling softly he brought it closer to his face when it jiggled, jumping slightly he stilled as it continued to jiggle and a crack had form itself into the egg shell.
The abused boy watch in awe as the egg slowly broke and out came a little white hatchling, an owl from what he can tell, some might have called it ugly or plain but to Harry it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, giggling as it chirped softly, he brought it close to his face, reaching his nose and looked at the beautiful little bird "Hello..." he cooed softly, the newly hatched owl chirped once more and seemed to recognize him as a friend as it nuzzled his cheek, Harry didn't notice his tears he just focused on his little bird, his first gift. He looked as a screen popped up
What do you wish to name your new familiar?
Harry looked thoughtfully at the screen then down to his newly hatched familiar, a name flashed into his head and he nodded "Hedwig, your name will be Hedwig" he told the little bird and it chirped happily as if agreeing and liking her new name. Harry didn't know how he knew that Hedwig was a girl but he suspected the new familiar bonds he found later.
Name confirmed [Hedwig]
Harry grinned before frowning "But... How am I going to hide you from the Dursleys? I can hide you now since your still so small but what happens when your too big to hide anymore?" he questioned with worry, the Dursleys would never let him keep Hedwig, they would kill her. He held her against him in possessive instinct, no he would never let them touch her, he thought with with a snarl but it melted away immediately as Hedwig seemed to sense his distress and chirp at him while nuzzling his chest. He couldn't say a word when another screen popped in front of him
[Hedwig] is a Magic [Snow] Owl
A Magic [Snow] Owl is capable of carrying mail to anybody as long as you know who to send, [Hedwig] is a 4 Star Type of Snow Owl, one of the highest ones out there. Along with their Mail capabilities, the Snow Owl is also very useful in combat but only when it is leveled 30 and above. Leveling this type is difficult and requires ones magic core and elemental prowess, it will drain your magic core and elemental power until it is level 10, level 10 and above you must feed it regularly with your magic to level it up. The reason of draining of both magic and elements is to help level them and help their abilities, the magic will 'upgrade' the owls body to withstand most extreme weather or circumstances and helps them find the one you want to send your mail to as well as help them carry packages heavier then them. The element will help them in battle, depending on what element magic you feed them they will help you in battles after leveling up to 30.
They are able to feed on normal food like any other owl but be sure to infuse your magic as they have newly hatched, along with them we gift you a starting baby owl feeding bottle with milk that should be infused by your magic as you feed them. Along with this we gift you an egg pendant, able to store your owl in the pendant, no need to worry as the pendant inside is the perfect for the owl as it will go into a sleeping state until you let them out, you are capable of bringing them anywhere you want! The milk is now purchasable in the store.
Thank you for your time
As Harry read on he received a small baby bottle set with a small bag of powdered milk and a pendant, the pendant was made out of silver, a silver chain was used and a small white egg-shaped pendant made out of white opal that could open and close, when he opened it there was just a never ending sea of whiteness showing inside the pendant, as he finished reading the message he nodded and looked at the his baby Hedwig who was chirping on his pillow. Smiling at the little bird he looked at his stats and saw Hedwig start to drain his core and elemental away though it was very slow, it said it would take away 5-8% away daily, looks like he needed to train more to feed his Hedwig, speaking of which. Looking at the baby bottle he summoned water from a small and weak Water Slicer before warming it up with a weak Fire Blast, pouring in the needed milk and making sure it was enough he checked on the temperature on the milk. He had seen a lot of mothers do this in the park.
Nodding in satisfaction he scooped Hedwig in his hand, oh she looked so cute in his hand and she was so small~, and gently fed her, she was no fuss as she suckled the milk, it seemed his magic knew what to do as he saw his Mana bar drain slowly as well. After feeding Hedwig, and loosing almost 50 Mana wow, he gently petted the small bird who seemed content, packing away his newly acquired things into his inventory he laid his Hedwig on a soft folded shirt he had from his inventory, he watched as Hedwig shift around and pecked the shirt into her comfort, she seemed to nod in satisfaction before settling in and chirped sleepily. Smiling he laid the shirt in front of him and in front of the wall, he was facing the wall and made room for the shirt, he didn't want to risk Petunia in seeing Hedwig, he'd let Hedwig in the pendant in the morning, right now he wanted to follow his new familiar in the land of dreams.
On Christmas Eve, Harry James Potter slept with a smile on his face while beside him was a newly hatched snowy owl.
Elsewhere
Hazel eyes looked out the window before glancing down at the picture of a little baby bro, the owner's eyes softened "Hang in there little bro, soon you'll be here" he whispered as he looked out the window and out to the forest and lake.
