Dudley strikes me as the sort of person (currently) who chases after the shiny (reward) so the quests are in, boxing practice and bike riding got us lots of points so we keep doing them until they don't give us points. That's when they get boring and we drop them and that's why I've dropped homework (this time).

I think sticking to homework will net us a long-term reward, since it takes dedication.

[X] [After school] Develop a Skill: Stealth. If Dennis is worried about teaching you stealing, what about teaching you how to be proper sneaky, first?

Stealth + theft means we could potentially just flat-out take shit from Diagon alley and no one would notice.
Besides which, being able to sneak around is just plain useful far as a skill goes.

...Anyway, if we do well on homework, could we perhaps be rewarded with a pet of some sort?
 
[X] Yes. "You've got it. I'll decide when later."
[X] Yes. "Sure, why not."

[X] [After school] Quest: (Meta)Gaming- Read the Dungeons and Dragons rulebook at home. [Unlocks Quest: (Meta)Gaming pt 2. Not required if 'Dungeons and Malcolms' is selected for Recess.]

[X] [Recess] Pranking with Piers- Piers is the sort of guy who would enjoy a good exploding toilet.
[X] [Recess] Dungeons and Malcolms- Stuff the D&D book into your backpack, and go over it with Malcolm during Recess. [Unlocks Quest: (Meta)Gaming pt 2. Not required if Quest: (Meta)Gaming is selected for After School]

Perhaps we should take on the quest when we're faster and whatnot.

Maybe, probably even. But I don't think there has been anything in the quest thus far that (I believe) would make Dudley think that long-term dedication to something that gives a small payoff is worth it.

Once he gets rewarded for dedication once I can potentially see him investing more time in things with smaller payoffs, but not currently.
 
I want to save stealing later when Harry comeback form the freak school,so we can blame him about stealing.

Unless something radically changes, we aren't likely to be drawn into harry's life. It is better for us to get good at it early so that when Harry leaves, we don't need the crutch of blaming it on him. After all, if we get good enough nobody will suspect us.

Concentrating on one of the zoo animals did it, actually.

I'm wary about the thief thing, but it's best to do it during recess.

Recess? It's a carton of milk we do at school--we get suspended.

We do it after school, knick a wallet? We get arrested

[X] Yes. "You've got it. I'll decide when later."

Some say "sleight of hand" I say "disarming enemies and denying them resources".

Besides, it gives us better relations with our local rogue.

[X] Yes. "Sure, why not."

If all our friends are dumb, make a party, invite them all. Become supervillains and take over the world. Grind our collective intellect up.

Also, Murderhoboing with a party...

We're 11, we're not going to get arrested. We'll get a talking to from the cops about why it's wrong to steal. It's 1992, if an 11 year old steals a candy bar or something it's a youthful indescretion, not the act of a hardened criminal.

Is it like that in the UK?

The 90s in the US is when everyone got really harsh and anal about children with all of that "zero tolerance" tripe. And an arrest doesn't necessarily mean prison
 
[X] Yes. "You've got it. I'll decide when later."

And if things go wrong, we can blame Harry. Somehow :p

[X] No. "Maybe another time."

Eh, I prefer one quest at a time. And have other things I want to do for after-school actions
