The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

"Medidate for an hour and then we'll go kill some Zombies."

That will surely make meditating easier. Again, 11 year olds, they'd be terrified of the zombies.

We have remove fear though, but that does not remove any other concerns they might have. Not everyone likes to watch corpses getting blown up.

Thing is, we're manipulative and ambitious, but as of now Harry is just a kid whose gotten the power of a thousand suns. He's probably still on tract for Gryffindor - though I wouldn't be opposed to Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Also I've read a lot of bad Harry in Slytherin fics and it's given the concept a bad taste in my mouth.
I think I can remember reading one good one. One. Well not bad... Maybe?
 
How could Lucius let his son, the heir to his family name and all his political contacts, be so bad at politics?
Anyways, it's entirely plausible he doesn't do that this time, given all the other occupants of the car.

Because it was a children's book and the author didn't even slightly care about any of that? Trying to apply logic to the first few books (before it decided to become all adult and serious business) is where most bad fanon tends to come from.

Not to mention the fact that Draco was also just an 11 year old kid.
 
On the Draco aspect, we have already caused butterflies, for instance when he comes in there will be a lot of people in the apartment and both Bones and Longbottom would be respected names. Also trying to plan ahead on how to deal with him in more than general sense is doomed to fail as we are deviating from cannon. As more time passes cannon becomes a far less useful guide on guessing their actions based on changes we have made in conditions along with potential changes in attitude and perception.

I think we should wait until Draco comes by and see what he says and does before assuming he is going to do one thing or another.

Maybe at first. But then we show that they are pretty harmless, and rather easily handled. Should rather quickly transition over to the "killing zombies is awesome!" mindset.
And who doesn't like destroying zombies? Don't even have the excuse of them having use to be people, because they weren't, they didn't exist till we brought them into existence.

Still though. He didn't consider that threatening Harry, and insulting his parents, would be counter productive to him getting Harry to ally with him?
The only thing I can think of is that the books are a imperfect retelling of events from Harry's point of view, from long in the future. Like if Harry himself wrote down what all happened when he was 20 or something, and as such his recollections would of course be biased. That would definitely explain this, and several other problems.
But that probably isn't the case here, sadly.

Draco was already a bad seed, being 11 and raised by a nazi in hiding certainly didn't help in his communication skills. He probably thought he was doing Harry a favor.

If we didn't already know the outcome, I wouldn't buy it. His dad isn't just a brute, he doesn't just threaten people into doing what he wants, he is a politician. He has to know how to make friends and allies. If Draco was Voldemort's kid, sure, I could buy him being raised where he honestly thought that was the way to go about it. But he's Malfoys instead.

[X] Ask him to find somewhere else to sit. That leaves everyone with plenty of space, leaving room for three others. Not that you're expecting anyone else.
 
But to make this post not completely off topic: I'm not against befriending Ron or Draco. I just don't feel like doing either right now.
Same, though personally more because the situation isn't good for the carefulness that we would need with Draco.
But odds are Draco will come by, and we want some ideas for how to deal with him when he does that will leave us pursuing a friendship later a option.
 
On the subject of house, I wanna point out that there's really only one house that's really suited to us: the house of hard work and determination. Not bravery, not cunning- but stat grinding and dedication.

Yes, I'm talking about Hufflepuff.


In all honesty I expect that each house will come with a gamer stat-package that will display for Harry to see, which should be interesting. I also wonder if the Hat will be able to see his powers- we still don't really know how the hat works. Fanon is that it's a perfect legimens, but I'm more of the mind that the hat can see the essence of your character, the way you react to certain choices, the nature of your self.

Remember that in the OTL when it sat on Harry it mentioned his drive and how Slytherin could help him with that- it didn't go "You set a snake on your cousin and can speak parsletongue, you're obviously suited to be a Slytherin!" so hopefully this keeps that in mind and we don't get 'perfect mind reader's hat' like most of fanon uses.

Well, I did it. Let me know what you all think.

"Mage Sigh-"

"Harry!"

"Huh?" Shaken from his stupor, Harry Potter looked across the Gryffindor Common Room at Hermione Granger. He couldn't help wondering what he was doing there, or why there were seemingly a dozen people looking at him oddly. In fact, he was curious what level each was at. "Mage Sigh-"

"Would you please quit doing that? It's getting a bit creepy, even for you," Ron spoke, concern obvious in his eyes, hands fidgeting in his lap.

"Well, maybe you could all tell me what this is about?" Honestly, Harry wished they would get to the point. All this talking was taking time out of his busy schedule. How could he improve if his grinding kept getting interrupted? Still, friends came first, so he'd listen to them; interruption or not.

"That is exactly what we've been trying to do, but you keep spacing out on us and mumbling to yourself. Harry, all of us are here right now because we're all concerned about how you've been acting recently," Hermione said.

Harry raised an eyebrow at this. "What do you mean by that? What've I been doing lately to bother you?"

Ron looked at him in disbelief. "Isn't it obvious? We're worried because you've become a complete loony-" A slap to the back of his head from Hermione stopped him before he could continue. "Ow! What was that for?"

Hermione just rolled her eyes before looking back at Harry. "What he means is that you've been acting very oddly. We've all noticed you mumble before staring off into space, and then there's the way you tend to wave your hands in front of you for no apparent reason."

Neville nodded. "I've even noticed times where he'll start talking to some of the animals around here. Especially Hedwig, and he keeps on as though they're talking right back to him."

"Oh, you think that's odd? He started talking about my rat in his sleep! He started mentioning how my Scabbers is some sort of old, creepy man! Can you believe it?" Huh, maybe he shouldn't have talked to Scabbers so much around Ron…

Harry jumped in, ready to defend his actions. "What? You want me to just not do any of that? But guys, how can I level up if you don't let me grind? Oh, and of course what I said is true, Ron. It's not my fault that stupid rat didn't realize I could understand him perfectly. And speaking of sleep, you'll be happy to know that I think I've discovered a way to get myself energy on as little as five minutes of sleep! At this rate, I'll be able to quit sleeping entirely! Isn't that great?"

Blank stares met his outstanding news. The other Gryffindors just staring at him, jaws hanging open.

A few tweets broke the silence. "Harry does have a point. The Gamer ability is just something the rest of you aren't used to. It doesn't mean he's crazy or anything like that. There's really nothing to be concerned about." Hedwig, Harry knew, would always have his back.

"See guys? Hedwig agrees with me," Harry said, proud of his helpful owl.

"Yeah, I'm just going to walk away now," Seamus said, before promptly doing just that.

Harry nodded his head in triumph. "Of course, I think I've made it abundantly clear that I am not even slightly crazy. Right, Hedwig?"
Idea for the sequel, apparently there is a 4th level Cleric spell Speak With Plants.

Also @Halpo133 you forgot to trademark the update. How those of us who don't read the entire discussion are supposed to find out about new juicy update?

No IC reason to say otherwise unfortunately

Houses, eh? Maybe we won't get a choice at all, maybe we will. Either way is fine with me. Whether we pick it or if it's chosen by a throw of the die I'm fine, each has its own strong and weak points.

In Gryffindor we'll walk well trodden paths, this is the one we'll have the best idea of who our friends could be and who will abandon us in favor of the crowd. Our allies in this house will not necessarily be the smartest, but they will likely be the most bold. Bravery isn't a lack of fear, but the ability to act, despite being afraid.
In Ravenclaw we'll have access to the most varied number of logical and research oriented minds, with them it wouldn't be strange at all for us to be seen studying anything and everything. Our allies here will have the best grasp of the theory behind how things work, if not the ability to make things work, knowledge for the sake of knowledge is the name of their game.
In Hufflepuff we'll make allies, maybe not all powerful and overwhelmingly influential, but true allies that will stick with us through thick and thin, regardless of how hard the objective or bleak the outlook. Here we will gather a following who will look out for our best interest. Though what we need, is rarely what we want.
And in Slytherin we will know conflict, intrigue, people seeking power for powers sake, here lies the most number of people wanting to use us, or be used by us. Slytherin is the house of ambition and cunning. Whether through the exploitation of others, or maneuvering oneself into a position of confidence with those that will be strong.

At least, that's kind of how I see it. Personally I'm a Hufflepuff, but that's just me. Like I said at the top I don't really care where we go, maybe we'll even get expelled at some point. And wouldn't that be interesting?

For me it is something like this:
  1. Ravenclaw: They value knowledge and wisdom which fits in well with our super-mage build. All the unique spells we can perform will likely make Harry a House legend
  2. Griffindor: It has Fred&George who I suspect are outright geniuses and are likely to offer all sorts of fun quests and rewards. Also magical sword of Evil-slaying
  3. Hufflepuff: Explicitly the House of those no one else would take. They may be loyal but they are also the dregs of the magical educational system but even it is better than....
  4. Slytherin: I'd like Harry to be able to sleep in his own dormitory in later years without the risk of being killed by the other students. In earlier years he will likely "only" have to deal with constant harassment from the Slytherins and suspicion from the rest of the school.

lso magical sword of Evil-slaying
Like we won't get that anyways. It cannonically came from the Hat, and even if we don't get it via that, we can grab it ourselves from Dumbledore.
Hufflepuff: Explicitly the House of those no one else would take. They may be loyal but they are also the dregs of the magical educational system but even it is better than....
Now that is just wrong. All the houses is about what matters most to the student. Bravery, Knowledge, Power, or in the Hufflepuff's case, Loyalty. And they aren't even lack-luster in the various magic things. Cedric is among the best students in Hogwarts, and he's a Hufflepuff
Slytherin: I'd like Harry to be able to sleep in his own dormitory in later years without the risk of being killed by the other students. In earlier years he will likely "only" have to deal with constant harassment from the Slytherins and suspicion from the rest of the school.
1) Plot will go NOTHING like it did cannonically. Ignoring that we will probably be so OP that even if we let them do whatever they wanted to our sleeping body, they would be unable to put a scratch on us (we might even kick all their butts while we are still sleeping), they wouldn't even have any reason to hate us. We are working for them and with them.
2) They'd probably rather like us even early on. I mean, it would be a HUGE shocker that we joined, and a month or two they might be suspicious, but as we played their games, interacted with them like a nice person, and got them tons of house points, they wouldn't be able to help but like us. Again, we are working with them, not against them. And if Draco is on our side, all the better with how much pull he has in the house.
3)The rest of the school would be shocked, but not overly suspicious. For A) it's mostly just Gryffindor that has a hate-on for Slytherin, and B) the hate-on isn't even THAT big, it's more like how dedicated sports-fans can get to their team and collage, and hate their rivals.
