The Power(Harry Potter/The Gamer)

No. Out of all the people I want knowing that we can use spells that don't exist in HP universe normally, Mini deatheater Malfoy - Who will at least tell his father - is the last one I want knowing.

That, or he thinks we are making fun of him. Which could do the same thing as slamming the door in his face.

So what? He is a lost cause anyway.
As for the spells, there are many obscure magics out there. Something that detects Dark magic and those tainted by it is not out of the question.

Can we eventually enchant the d&d stuff so it would it come to life like the actual creatures/landscape/spells appear before you in mini form?
 
Are you guys actually going to show off one of The Gamer skills by casting detect evil, since by all rights such spell can't exist in the normal wizarding world?

This amuses me greatly.

Can't exist? Why do you say that? The Ministry studies fundamental concepts and in any case we can just say it detects dark magic and its practitioners.

Ryuan does have a point. 11 year old Harry Potter has done something the greatest minds of the wizarding world haven't been able to? I'm sure many wizards were trying to create such a spell during Voldemort's reign.

As DragonParadox points out, spells to detect dark magics are hardly unbelivable, and new spells are discovered all the time.

The idea that Malfoy (or for that matter anyone!) could see Harry cast an unknown detection spell and somehow deduce from that, that Harry has Gamer abilities is frankly absurd.

Especially given that not only were we taught by Moody, but he explicitly also taught us several other spells.

Dumbledore: "Harry, how were you able to detect Pettigrew!"
Harry: "Before I left for Hogwarts, I asked Moody to teach me several spells so I would be prepared for everything! Looks like his Paranoia is wise!"

Bonus of being absolutely true.

-[X] Teach them D&D, they'll probably enjoy it since it has all sorts of magic and stuff and also it may help farm Int and such things.

Well, then he'd just ask Moody about the spell. Might be better to say "it just popped into our head", which is also technically true as it did pop into our head when we ate the D&D books, and just say we think we need time to turn it into a proper spell we can teach others. (also true, as we'd need to get our Arithmancy up to do spell creation, and then we could probably create a HP-magic compatible version that we could teach others without using Write+The Gamer party invite) Though I suppose we could always insist on Obliviating anyone we teach the spell to, for security reasons, of course.

Dumbledore wasn't creating new spells at the age of 11. This is going far far from child genius and leaping into wtf territory. I wouldn't have minded had we revealed to Dumbledore about our powers but he'll certainly start to question what abilities we have now.

Wizards have an entire category of things that can detect varying types of "badness" http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Detector Considering Moody's fondness for them it shouldn't be too hard for it to be passed off as something he taught Harry.

None of those are spells and none of those would specifically lead to a dark animagus wizard. I'm sure if Mad Eye had such a spell, it would've been supremely helpful for wizards during Voldemort's reign and considering people didn't know who to trust, I doubt such a spell exists.
 
On second I changed my mind about the demonstrating vote, it's not a good idea. Why are we going to demonstrate Detect Evil, which hasn't been shown to exist in HPverse thus far? Granted our current guest and friends are 1st years and are starting to attend Hogwarts and learn magic they probably wouldn't know so they would think such a spell exist. But anyways how the hell will we be demonstrating the spell? It's basically us casting the spell upon ourselves and we alone can see who's good and evil. And we are just going to call out whoever is good and evil and expect people to take our word for it? Unlikely. Not to mention this could get the wrong impression from Draco that we are now making fun of him.

Would not actually surprise me if such spells were to exist in actuality. I would infact be shocked if there are no spells that won't detect dark magics. We do see several detection spells of all sorts used in canon.

What makes Harrys spell a bit more powerfull is that it detects EVIL, which I can see being a bit more powerfull. However we can easily just say that we were joking about that and that its some average detection spell.

Or, if its possible to teach this specific spell to others, we can just say we invented with together with Moody after being inspired by the game. The people basically think Harry killed Voldemort as an infant. The idea that they would figure out The Gamer power from this won't happen. They will just think its Harry being a genius prodigy.

Remember that due to being The Gamer, Harry can already do insane stuff like brew all 1st-3rd year potions and cast 6th year spells and so on. Unless you plan for Harry to never use 99.99% of his abilities publicly, Harry WILL become known as an incredible prodigy and next Dumbledore anyway. Might aswell start now.

From the Sneakoscope wiki page: "Later that year, Harry's Sneakoscope started whistling on the Hogwarts Express when Scabbers was nearby, as Scabbers was really Peter Pettigrew (which might help explain the previous occurences as well)."

Say we were practicing our Accidental Magic to get better control of it, and this one bit just kind of stuck with us and we're not quite sure how to teach others the spell just yet. Accidental magic does all sorts of unintended and strange things.

You think Draco's hurt feelings matter more than catching Pettigrew?

Yes, and that was a highly enchanted magical object that still could only point out someone was being suspicious. It didn't hone in on Peter Pettigrew.

Accidental magic, by nature, happens when a child is in emotional distress and what situation would we be in emotional distress and trying to detect evil creatures? Also, we really want Dumbledore to relate us to Tom in terms of practicing magic before we get a wand?

You can force yourself do use it. How do you think the first spells were invented?

The point is we don't know who Pettigrew is IC. Are people really voting to Detect Evil based on Meta knowledge?

Actually we have an IC reason, showing off as a kid as well as an OOC reason so I think we are good.

I do not really care. We will outgrow Dumbledore is a few years. What is he going to do? Kill Harry on suspicion?

Pretty sure Draco is not going to be all that hurt. I mean if things go as planned, Harry is just going to suddenly expose that Rons pet rat is an animagus mass murderer thats been hiding as a rat for years and years, and capture the rat (which will be big news that will impress a lot of people).

Frankly, he will be utterly shocked. Heck, if you wan't to become friends with Draco, this is actually better in some ways. Pettigrew will attract everyones attention, and adults will be called to the scene so Ron vs Malfoy or Malfoy calling Hermione mudblood or such is not going to happen.

The only thing Malfoy will get from this scene is that Harry is both very skilled and very powerfull (not a bad first impression). It also means that we can probably arrange a meeting later, on our own terms if we want to.

Would any of you consider changing your votes for handling Draco to this new and totally amusing option? It's not like Ron has an evil, traitorous animagus in his pocket...

Unaided flight was also thought impossible, but look at what Voldemort can do. Clearly, as the Boy-Who-Lived, defeater of the Greatest Dark Lord since Grindelwald, and soon to be the Boy-Who-Detected...
