HARRY POTTER:Start again System

It didn't take him long to get bored of staring at Diggle. To amuse himself, he started playing with his inventory. He didn't have much money, just 50£, but he had plans to fix that. The money would help him move about and come to London more, and that in turn would lead to more skills and powers revealing themselves and making him more powerful. Perhaps he could find some quests would allow him to get some cash or something if that was even possible.

Just then the stone Harry had been fiddling with fell from his hands. But before it could clatter onto the ground, the inventory that he had left open underneath caught it.

Harry paused and considered the implications. This could be incredibly useful. If his inventory could catch stones without him having to individually put them in, then maybe it could capture something more…dangerous. Maybe even bullets.

His inventory box could possibly be the most powerful tool in his arsenal. Harry was curious about his powers, out of all which his inventory stumped him the most. What exactly happened to the stuff he put in there? Where did it go? He definitely needed to know.

So Harry took out a loaf of bread that he had stashed in his in the inventory two days ago. Much to his surprise, it was just as fresh as it was the day he put it in there. That meant that the inventory box was a type of stasis field. Anything in it was frozen in time, something that could be very very useful.

Harry was almost drooling imagining it. Hot food whenever he wanted! For Harry, to whom starvation was an intimate friend, this was huge!

Ping!

Due to your experimentation, you have found a loophole in the system! Your Int is raised by 1!

Harry smiled at this and looked back at Diggle. He needed to move since Diggle had paid at the counter and was coming out of the shop.

YES/NO?

It was a no-brainer. He was already doing it anyway. Harry quickly pressed yes and crossed the road, tailing Diggle, sticking to the shadows and trying not to get noticed. Each time he felt that Diggle had even an inkling of an idea that he was being followed, Harry quickly ducked into an alleyway out of sight. Staying careful, Harry slowly started decreasing the distance between them.

Ping!

"What now?" he hissed through his teeth.

Skill created!

Allows you to sneak up on someone.

10% chance of not getting caught.

10% chance of a critical strike.

That seemed very useful, Harry decided. He swiped the screen away and saw Diggle looking around with a frown on his face. Harry stilled, realizing that Dedalus sensed someone following him. Thinking quickly, he quickly walked past him, overtaking him and ducking into the next side alley, before looking back to see what he was doing.

He might've been sneaky, but 10% was still 10% after all. He was bound to fail sometime.

Dedalus pulled out a stick with his right hand just like the one Vance and the others had; a magic wand; and was discreetly waving it at the area behind him while looking aroun. After a few tense seconds, he started walking again, apparently satisfied with his inspection. He passed Harry's alley without noticing him, and with a sigh of relief, he walked out of the alley and started following the purple shirted man again.

Ping!

Skill leveled up!

Sneaking, Lv-2 (10%)

Allows you to sneak up on someone.

15% chance of not getting caught.

15% chance of a critical strike.

'Nice,' he thought and hung back and followed Diggle at a discreet distance, mingling with the crowd and sticking to the shadows.

And so he tailed Dedalus Diggle all the way along the Charing Cross Road, where the stout man entered a dingy looking pub, which the rusty sign called 'The Leaky Cauldron', which, much like those FLOO shops, most people seemed to avoid entirely. Their eyes seemed to gloss over it and onto the next store whenever they looked at it. Warily, Harry followed him and looked through the stained and dirty glass windows of the pub and saw the patrons greet him as he vanished towards the back of the pub.

Ping!

Information

Harry swiped it away. He didn't have time to look at it now.

He didn't dare go inside. He was 10 after all and a pub full of drunk men was not the best place to be for someone like him. So he stood outside the pub and waited for him to come out since he couldn't observe anyone through the glass no matter how hard he tried.

Or so he intended to do until a man walked out of the pub, opening the door for a fleeting moment, letting the conversation inside spill out. His Gamer's Mind separated all the voices and with crystal clear clarity, he heard,

"How are you Arch-"
