Chapter Text
Harry looked around. He was somewhere new and he was dressed in all-black peasant clothes. He looked around and saw others some he knew some he didn't. They were all wearing peasant clothes like him though not all of them were in black.
Welcome to The Game!
You have all been chosen and will be paid to take part in our Game. Everyone around the world will be watching. In this game, you can do anything you want! But be warned, there are ways of getting kicked off the show! You will be taught how to work your screens which will help you in the game. If you are kicked out of the game you will lose your screen and not be able to return unless under special circumstances.
You've all been given a remedial home to live in while you are here but you can make your home better.
HAVE FUN!
"Nope." Harry said shaking his head. "Nope, I'm not dealing with this."
With that, his screen taught him to teleport home. He looked around when he arrived.
"Oh, awesome, it's a Hobbit Hole." He explored everything it wasn't very big. A sitting room, a kitchen/dining room, and his bedroom that had a bathroom. He searched the kitchen. "Great, fully stocked. So I'm assuming that I'm being filmed right now." Harry said as began cooking. "Just so you know I'm going to be very lazy in this game. Sorry if that bores you but I'm tired of danger and adventure. So I'm just going to find something to entertain me while I'm here and do that."
Harry cooked something and sat down to eat it.

Passive
Your ability to cook. The higher the level the more amazing the food that you can cook if you know how.

"HOW BLOODY DARE YOU!" Harry bellowed at the top of his aching lungs. "I'M A GREAT BLOODY COOKING!"
There was knocking on his door he marched to it and jerked the door open to see a man who looked worse than Sirius had when he'd escaped Azkaban.
"Oh, you're a player." the man said. "I heard screaming and came to investigate."
A man who looked like him came up beside him.
"You look hungry, wait here and don't move!" Harry ordered. He went and got them a lot of the food that he had made. He put them in the Inventory that he had learned about while he was cooking. "Go sit on those stumps!" he ordered them. "GO!"
He shut his door and served them his food when they had sat down.
"Eat this! This bloody game is insulting me! Tell me what you think."
Both men took a single hesitant bite, then began eating in earnest. Harry sat and ate his own food. He tried to think of what he wanted to do in this game. He had come here straight from the Dursleys. He would be sixteen at the end of the month. It hit him all of a sudden who he was eating with.
"Ah, crap! You're the Lestrange brothers!" He cried.
"This is amazing." the youngest brother said. He thought the younger one was named Rabastan while the older one was Rodolphus but he wasn't sure. "If you opened a shop here I would be your best customer...well, once I got money, I would be."
Harry blushed a bit.
"Really?" he asked. He was shocked. No one had ever praised his cooking before.
"I'd be his best customer." Rodolphus told his brother. "I'm not sure about this game thing or the levels but what is your cooking level?"
"1. Why do you think I was yelling?" Harry informed. "Now, I'll try to explain this in words you will understand." They both blinked at him. "See? I haven't played games like this before but my cousin? He plays them all the time so I can explain what's going on."
He proceeded to tell them all about RPG games and the features that they had. The two brothers ate everything Harry gave them and asked questions that Harry answered easily.
"You have been very helpful, Harry Potter." Rodolphus told him. "and you fed us this amazing meal. We owe you a thanks."
"No, you don't." Harry said shaking his head. "Have you looked around the area? Do you live around here?"
"The other side of the lake." Rabastan answered.
"What lake?" Harry put the dishes in his Inventory and followed the brothers to the back of the hill that was his house. He took time to notice that his door was well hidden. He must have been yelling loud if they'd found him. "Whoa."
He looked around at the huge lake and waterfall. He could make out two small shabby homes on the other side and he could see so many creatures about. The water was so blue and clear. He went over to the water and got down on his knees. He dipped his hand in and drank the water that he pulled out.
"Oh, wow, this is the most delicious and clean water that I've ever tasted." he cried. "Huh?"
There was a small light blue jelly-like blob with a nucleus in the middle. He got some water in his hands and let it leak onto the creature. It seemed very happy with that. He did that until the creature didn't want any more water. The creature rubbed against his leg. Harry laughed softly and petted it.
"You kind of feel jelly-like too." Harry said to it. "But what are you?"
He stared at the creature for a while before the screen appeared in front of him again.

"Oh, so I can use this to learn what you are that's great." Harry muttered. "Uhm...so....Observe."
Another blue screen appeared in front of him this time with information on it.

"Interesting." Harry hummed picking up the Slime. "Omnivorous means you'll eat anything. Infinitely adapt and evolve? That means you change into a different creature, doesn't it? That would be interesting. Hey, maybe I'll make you my focus while I'm here. I wonder how to make you my pet?"
"You Tame it." a girl said walking up. She had blond pigtails and was dressed in fancy clothes. Harry was sure that she was an NPC. Was she here just to teach him how to Tame this Slime?
"I'm sorry, I don't know how."
Sure enough, she taught him what to do and he could soon feel the Slime's emotions. It seemed happy. He petted it. He looked up and the girl was gone. He'd known it. He got up and headed home. They were soon in Harry's kitchen. He put his slime next to the sink.
"Okay, stay there." Harry told it and began washing the dishes.
Dishwashing-1
Passive
A technique to wash dishes. With greater mastery, you can clean any dirty spot. 10% increase in dishwashing speed.
"Oh, boy, this is going to get annoying....what are you doing?"
Harry watched as his new slime drank the dishwater from the sink.
"Well, if that's what you want to eat. Go ahead." Harry shrugged. "Okay, so I saw some writing materials in my room. I have to document everything about you."
Harry began doing just that. Yes, he was sure. He would spend his time here lazily studying his Slime.
