"UP! GET UP! NOW!"
Mummy's somewhat shrill scream drags you out from bed. For a moment, you wonder why she's yelling at you- Mummy never yells at you- But then you realize that, no, she's just waking up Harry. Your morning now normal again, you push yourself up, arms straining a little bit as you lurch forwards and pivot your feet out of bed.
The sheets are rumpled and twisted. You leave them. Mummy will straighten them out, or Harry will. You need to get dressed.
It's an important day today, after all.
The most important day, even.
It's your birthday.
Tugging on a polo, you move over to the bathroom, intending to wash your face and brush your hair, when you pause.
Staring back at you from the mirror is your face, as usual- But now, floating above it, there is a small icon.
... That's not normal, is it? It wasn't there yesterday.
Maybe it happens to everyone when they turn eleven? You had heard about something like this, actually, now that you think about it... Was this the thing that older boys sometimes talked about? You thought it gave people beards, though.
As you scratch your plump, hairless chin, you hear your bedroom door open. "Duddey-poo, are you awake?" Mummy asks.
You nod idly, and continue thinking for a moment before you pose the question weighing heavily on your mind.
"Mum, am I a puberty now?"
Mummy steps into the room. Above her head shines LV6 PETUNIA DURSLEY.
"No, sweetie. You're still too young. Would you like to come down? Harry is making you breakfast."
You nod again, and follow Mummy down the stairs.
So.
If this isn't a puberty, then what is it?
Harry is frying eggs when you enter the kitchen, but you're more concerned with the pile of presents on the table. Harry can take care of cooking well enough himself, he does it all the time.
As you lift and shake the presents, examining each one's size and weight, you count them. You'll open them up later, for now you just want to see how many things you've gotten. As you reach the thirty-sixth, you feel your face frowning. You had gotten two more presents than this last year.
[] Speak up
[] Ignore it
After that, Harry sets down a plate full of bacon and eggs in front of you. Your eyes are drawn to the icon above his head-
Hey. Wait a minute. How was that possible? You couldn't be a lower level than Harry- And what was up with that wierd title of his?
[] "How are you a higher level then me?"
[] "Daddy, what does 'The Boy Who Lived' mean?"
[] "Pass the toast!" You can confront him later.

This choice of protagonist is a terrible, terrible idea.

Nah man I'm thinking of Mortal Kombat/Wuxia style battles, over the top area destroying fights where men express themselves through their fists.

Hell yes, Dudley quest. First priority, be better than Harry at everything (as is our right).

You don't bring up that there were more presents last year. It rankles, of course, but you find yourself less angry about it than you'd usually be.
For now, it's time to eat.
Bacon crunches delightfully between your teeth as you mull over the strange icons. You want to ask what 'The boy who lived' means, but something makes you stop- And, of course, you can always ask later.
The phone rings in the living room. Mummy gets up and moves to answer it as you finish your plate.
Shrugging, you begin opening your presents.
The first and largest of the presents is a bright red racing bike. You look it over, marvelling at how shiny it is, and wondering how fast it could go, when a small diologue box opens-
[You have obtained RED RACER}
[Red ones go faster]
[A young boy's racing bicycle. Sturdy and well made.]
[Requires AGI 8 to use]
You blink for a moment, then smile broadly before moving on to the next present.
In addition to the racing bike, you end up getting a remote-controlled plane, a video camera, thirty new games for your computer, a VCR, a gold wristwatch, a baseball set, and a 100-pound note. 'Not bad', you think as Mummy comes back into the room.
"Bad news, Vernon," Mummy announces, drawing Daddy's attention from his newspaper. "Mrs Figg's broken her leg. She can't take him," She gestured at Harry.
You feel your heart sink. Every time Harry comes somewhere, he manages to ruin things. You're not entirely sure how he does it- One time, when you both were five and he was angry about not getting as much dinner as you (On your birthday, at that!) he'd managed to switch out your noodles with an entire plate full of worms.
While you were eating.
You hit him afterwards, of course, but that didn't take away the slimy wriggling from your mouth.
Scrunching your face up into the closest approximation to crying that you can manage, you start faking sobs. "You can't let him come with, he'll ruin everything!"
Thirty minutes later, you're in the car, stewing over your failure.
Piers sits next to you, while Harry occupies the far side of the back seat. You glare out the window. Stupid cousins. Why couldn't he just go to an orphanage or something?
Your father grumbles as a group of bikers cut you off on the freeway, snapping back at Harry as he makes an offhand comment about flying motorcycles in his dreams. You snigger lightly as Harry tries to explain that it was just a dream, as if that wasn't obvious. Motorcycles can't fly, after all. They'd need wings for that.
As the ride comes to a close, a new box opens up.
