Chapter 1
YOU DIED!
DEATH BY TORTURE.
KILLER/TORTURER - BELLATRIX DRUELLA LESTRANGE.
"Is this some sort of joke?" I asked as I looked around the pure white room. Where am I? How did I get in here? There's no door...
LEVEL 23 (30/100).
EACH PLAYER LEVEL = 1 SKILL POINT (SP).
SP: 23.
POINTS:
- You lived 18 (19) years = 185 points.
- You met a Hogwarts Professor = 10 points.
- You met an Animagus = 30 points.
- You received your Hogwarts letter = 15 points.
- Your first visit to Diagon Alley = 50 points.
- Your first visit to Gringotts = 30 points.
- You received your first Wand = 20 points.
I read through all of the bullet points they showed up ranging from 'you missed Quirrell jinxing The Boy Who Lived's broom = -10 points' to 'you befriended Ronald Weasley = -100 points', 'you befriended The Boy Who Lived = 200 points', 'you were Sorted into Gryffindor = -20 points' and 'you developed a fear of heights = -50 points'. The most interesting one, however, was 'you never found out who your biological parents are = -500 points'. It was the biggest point number with befriending Ron being the next biggest point loss and 'you gained the title of 'Brightest Witch of Her Age = 250 points' being the second biggest point number.
OVERALL POINTS: 150.
POINTS - SP CONVERSION RATE = 10 - 1.
SP GAINED: 15.
SP AVAILABLE: 38.
REWARDS AND PENALTIES AVAILABLE.
ACCEPT REWARDS AND PENALTIES?
Yes.
REWARD 1: PLAYER 2.
PLEASE STATE THE FIRST NAME AND SURNAME OF THE PERSON YOU WISH TO BE YOUR PLAYER 2 (THEY MUST BE SOMEONE YOU PERSONALLY KNOW).
Do I choose Harry? I'd never choose Ron because he's insufferable. I only ever chose to be his friend despite him constantly arguing with me and insulting me because he and Harry were a package deal. If I choose Harry and he wants to be friends with Ron again... But who else would I choose? Harry Potter.
HARRY POTTER IS NOW PLAYER 2.
There was a flash of light and then Harry was in front of me. "Harry?" He quickly turned around and grinned at me.
"Hermione! But you're dead? So, I guess he really did kill me this time," Harry said. I hugged him and then Harry explained how he'd just been hit with the killing curse in the Forbidden Forest when he appeared here. I told him everything that had happened so far and he grinned. "I can't believe we're in a game."
PLAYER 2 LEVEL 21 (90/100).
PLAYER 2 SP: 21.
POINTS:
- You lived 17 years = 170 points.
- Your Hogwarts letters were burned = -100 points.
Harry and I read through all of the bullet points. Harry's overall points were 120, which got him 12 SP for a total of 33 SP.
REWARD 2: HINT ABOUT BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS BY GETTING AN INHERITANCE AND HERITAGE TEST DONE AT GRINGOTTS.
REWARD 3: GENDER SWITCH.
VOLDEMORT, QUIRINUS QUIRRELL, TOM RIDDLE AND REGULUS BLACK ARE NOW FEMALE.
REWARD 4: HAREM.
MALES AND FEMALES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN YOU WILL NOT MIND SHARING YOU WITH OTHERS. THEY MAY EVEN ENJOY BEING WITH YOUR OTHER PARTNERS THEMSELVES (THIS DEPENDS ON YOUR CHARISMA LEVEL).
REWARD 5: REMOVAL OF INCEST TABOO.
NO ONE WILL BE DISGUSTED OR PUT OFF BY YOU BEING WITH THOSE YOU'RE BLOOD RELATED TO (INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE BLOOD RELATED TO YOU).
"Hermione, what the fuck?" Harry asked.
"Oh, shut up, Harry! I don't know why these are considered rewards other than the first two!"
PENALTY 1: SLYTHERIN.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE A CHOICE IN YOUR HOGWARTS HOUSE. YOU WILL BE SORTED INTO SLYTHERIN.
PENALTY 2: COMPANIONS.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE A CHOICE IN YOUR FINAL TRIO MEMBER. IT IS NOW DRACO MALFOY.
PENALTY 3: ENEMIES.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE A CHOICE IN YOUR ENEMIES. ALBUS DUMBLEDORE AND RONALD WEASLEY ARE YOUR ENEMIES.
PENALTY 4: SKILLS.
YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO TEN SKILLS AND NOT TWENTY (YOU CAN STILL LEARN THE OTHERS IF YOU UNLOCK THEM LATER ON).
PENALTY 5: INCREASED BLOCKS.
THE EFFECTS OF THE BLOCKS ON YOU WILL BE DOUBLED (WARNING: NOW THE BLOCKS EFFECTS ARE DOUBLED, IF THEY ARE NOT REMOVED WITHIN A YEAR, YOU WILL DIE).
"Oh, fuck," Harry said. "Die? Again? Really!? Why do we have to be Ron and Dumbledore's enemies? Does this apply to us both?"
YES. ALL PENALTIES AND REWARDS 4 AND 5 APPLY TO BOTH PLAYERS.
"Oh, shit, it answered. I can't believe we're gonna be Slytherins. I avoided Slytherin the first time because of Malfoy and now I've got to be his bestie and share a dorm with him?" Harry whined.
"Honestly, Harry, I don't mind any of this. I don't really see them as penalties. Malfoy was a jerk to me and if we're friends with him, he won't be. Ron was supposedly our friend and he abandoned us."
"He thought we liked each other, Hermione," Harry said.
"I'm a lesbian, Harry." Harry's eyes went wide. "I never said anything because Ron's homophobic. He said some horrible stuff when we caught Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass snogging during our Prefect rounds once in 5th year. He was always awful to me and almost got me killed by the Troll in 1st year. He never apologised and he only went to save me because of you. You even told me yourself. 3rd year, he argued with me about Crookshanks, 4th year, he argued with you about the Triwizard Tournament and then everything over the last year... I'm just... Done. Besides, my Muggle Parents, or Adoptive Parents, I guess, dropped me off at an orphanage during the summer before 4th year. Why do you think I spent Christmas with the Weasleys 5th and 6th year? Why I was already at the Weasleys during the summer before 6th year when you showed up? And I spent most of the summer before 5th year with the Order and Christmas 4th year at school. Just like the Dursleys, they hated Magic."
"Oh... Hermione, I'm gay too. And about your Parents, I-" Harry cut himself off as words appeared in front of us again.
PLEASE CHOOSE TEN OF THE FOLLOWING (SELECTED CHOICES APPLY TO BOTH PLAYERS):
- OCCLUMENCY.
- LEGILIMENCY.
- FIRE MAGIC.
- WATER MAGIC.
- EARTH MAGIC.
- AIR MAGIC.
- SEER.
- MAGE SENSES.
- MAGIC DETECTION.
- WARD DETECTION.
- POTIONS.
- HEALING.
- TRANSFIGURATION.
- METAMORPHMAGUS.
- ANIMAGUS.
- PARSELTONGUE.
- PARSELMAGIC.
- ANIMAL COMMUNICATION.
- MAGICAL CREATURE COMMUNICATION.
- SEDUCTION.
"'SEDUCTION'? Why is that on there? And don't we need Potions, Transfiguration and Occlumency because of this game and our classes?" Harry asked.
SKILLS CAN ALSO BE UNLOCKED AND USED AS YOU PROGRESS IN THE GAME. ALL SKILLS CAN BE UNLOCKED DURING THE GAME IF YOU MEET THE RIGHT CRITERIA FOR THEM. SEDUCTION IS AN ADVANCED FORM OF PERSUASION. IF YOU'VE SEDUCED SOMEONE 100%, THEY'LL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU ASK. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE SEDUCTION PERCENTAGE CAN GO DOWN UNLESS IT'S AT 100%. THE PERCENTAGE CAN GO UP THROUGH FAVOURS, GIFTS, COMPLIMENTS, HEROIC ACTS AND HAVING A HIGH CHARISMA STAT.
"Which do you think is best, Hermione?"
"Well, if we can unlock them later, the ones we'll definitely unlock should be left alone. So, not 'POTIONS' or 'TRANSFIGURATION' and we can always force a 'HEALING' unlock too. 'OCCLUMENCY' is a must and I kind of want 'LEGILIMENCY' since it'd definitely be really useful, especially when we're Sorted into Slytherin. 'SEER' I think would be unlocked if we take Divination but I don't care either way about it. 'SEDUCTION' can probably be unlocked through flirting. 'PARSELMAGIC' can probably unlock 'PARSELTONGUE' since it would be hard to do it without speaking the language. 'MAGE SENSES' would show where Wards and Magic are making 'WARD DETECTION' and 'MAGIC DETECTION' pointless. 'ANIMAGUS' may unlock 'ANIMAL CREATURE COMMUNICATION' as you'd be an Animal. So, that leaves one more to get rid of..."
"Could 'METAMORPHMAGUS' unlock 'ANIMAGUS'? Tonks used her Metamorphmagus powers to change her nose into a Pig's nose remember?"
"Possibly but Metamorphmagi can only change one body part into an Animal's at a time... Either way, it's more useful than being an Animagus. So, 'OCCLUMENCY', 'LEGILIMENCY', 'FIRE MAGIC', 'WATER MAGIC', 'EARTH MAGIC', 'AIR MAGIC', 'MAGE SENSES', 'METAMORPHMAGUS', 'PARSELMAGIC' and 'MAGICAL CREATURE COMMUNICATION'?"
"Yeah." I thought the ten options and then more writing showed up.

THIS COMMUNICATION WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE AFTER BOTH PLAYERS COMPLETE THE TUTORIAL.
"Well, that's useful," Harry said.
"It also means we didn't need Occlumency to keep the game a secret. I'm still glad we chose it, though. Especially since we're going to be in Slytherin. Occlumency and Legilimency are hard but Slytherin is the House of ambition..."
START NEW GAME?
"Ready, Harry?" I asked.
"As much as I can be. You'll be in the new game world over a month before me."
"At least, it'll give me time to come up with a plan for our new lives, including getting us both out of our homes as soon as possible."
Start new game.

Everything went black for a moment before turning into my childhood bedroom. Okay, I've already got my school stuff for the year as Professor McGonagall visited me on my birthday. So, it's reasonable with all the stuff I brought and the fact that I've already been to Diagon Alley that I could've read about Inheritance and Heritage Tests. The hint said to get one, so if I do, I'll know more about my family and maybe I'll get a house or something and me and Harry can stay there. I quickly packed up my stuff in my trunk after using an Undetectable Extension Charm on it. I had to rest for a while after, though. I noticed my Health go down from 90 to 50 from slight physical and Magical exhaustion.
