Why is there a System here?

Summary:

Welcome, Valued User! To The Magical World Of Harry Potter!

This System Wishes All The Best To the User In Fulfilling The Main Mission Objective: Reform the Wizarding Education System!

___

 

A dive into the world of Harry Potter as a Potterhead fan reincarnates to fulfill her dying wish- to reform the Wizarding World's barely functioning education system! But wait, what's this blue screen doing here? Mission objective?? Why on earth would there be a System in this Harry Potter Universe? This isn't a xianxia novel! Hello?? System, this trope doesn't fit!

 

(Title and summary subject to change)

Notes:

I don't remember how to normally start a story anymore, I've been MIA for years. But, I've been chugging fanfics (lots of svsss) and this fic is so self-indulgent that it took a life of its own and superseded all of my normal hesitancy and decided that needed to be written down. This story is nothing serious, or even remotely thought out, just a silly little brainfart. I'm studying to be a teacher and reading other HP stories where the characters' education is under constant attack makes me just-

Anyway, onwards! To some wishful dreaming!

Edit: 2.11.2025
Nothing essential was changed just a small edit to change the tone to suit my writing style now.

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Binding Host To Account

Chapter Text

[INITIALIZING]

.

.

.

[HOST ID CONFIRMED. CREATING ACCOUNT. ESTABLISHING CONNECTION.]

 

A figure was tumbling through a seemingly endless sea of darkness, shimmering stardust dispersed all around. At the same time an augmented voice chimed in with a whir, a blue light shining in the nothingness.

 

[BINDING HOST TO ACCOUNT.]

 

...what.. what is going on? Where am I? I'm so dizzy..

 

[WELCOME, VALUED USER! TO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!]

 

...a blue screen? who's talking?...wait, hold on just a second- Is this a system? Harry Potter? Does this mean- Did I just-  am i- am I dead?

 

[CORRECT! HOST HAS JUST DIED AND HAS ENTERED THE CYCLE OF REINCARNATION! HOWEVER, HOST HAS MADE A DYING WISH WHICH HAS FULFILLED THE CRITERIA OF "DYING WISH BY THE UNHINGED BUT SEEMS INTERESTING" LIST!]

 

WHAT.

 

[THIS SYSTEM IS IN-CHARGE OF THE HOST AND PROVIDING TO OUR HOST THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE THROUGH THEIR JOURNEY. HOST HAS MADE A DYING WISH IN HER DEATH AND SO HER MAIN MISSION OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN SET TO THE HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE.]

 

Mission Objective? A system in the Harry Potter universe? Seriously? What is this—some kind of transmigration novel? Shouldn’t you be dropping souls into xianxia worlds or cultivation realms instead? What’s an eastern trope like you even doing in a western setting?

 

[....]

 

...

 

[USER'S SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATING ON POWER SAVING MODE DURING HOST'S FORMATIVE YEARS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE STANDBY MODE DURING INITIAL PLACEMENT?]

 

...Power saving..? System, what do you mean by that?

 

[USER'S ABILITY TO PERFORM MISSIONS IS NERFED TO REALITY STANDARDS AND MISSIONS RELEGATED DURING FIRST YEARS WILL BE DIFFICULT, IT IS THIS SYSTEM'S SUGGESTION TO PUT ON HOLD ANY MISSION OBJECTIVE UNTIL HOST WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO. THIS IS ONE TIME USAGE]

 

What on earth...

 

[IS HOST AGREEABLE TO STANDBY MODE?]

 

Do you mean to say, since I'll be reborn again into the Harry Potter Universe, I'll become a baby. And so, if mission objectives are delegated to me, I won't be able to accomplish them?

 

[HOST IS CORRECT.]

 

...haa... I'm going to regret this aren't I?

 

I agree.

 

[STANDBY MODE SELECTED! HOPE HOST ENJOYS HER EXPERIENCE!]

 

Sure.

 

[THIS SYSTEM WISHES THE USER THE BEST IN FULFILLING THE MAIN MISSION OBJECTIVE: REFORM THE WIZARDING EDUCATION SYSTEM!]

 

Wait, what?

 

Notes:

Transmigration System is a game like interface that is very popular in Isekai stories. My main source of inspiration is from a novel by MXTX called Scum Villian Self-Saving System, I'm not trying to replicate it, but the concept is interesting and messing around with it seems like fun.

This chapter was a doozy, hopefully the next chapter will be a tad more comprehensible.
