Harry Potter: Start Again System.

Chapter 39: CH 39



He had been working on improving his Parkour and Dex for almost 8 hours now, and the results were starting to take great shape. Harry waved away the message and refocused on the sight before him, focusing on the newly finished Canary Wharf building, which still had most of its scaffolding left around it. Harry wondered if there was anyone mad enough to attempt a climb that high with no safety equipment.

"Well, there is now," he muttered with a smirk as he stepped ahead and dropped off the 300-foot building.

That night, Harry was lying on his brand new bed in his brand new room. Of course, neither of those were brand new, the bed being almost half a decade old and the room being all but a bin for Dudley's useless stuff. But they were new to him, and that was all that mattered. Above him, his inventory lay sprawled open as he sorted through his stuff and arranged them all into neat stacks and boxes.

Sorting through his inventory had become a pleasant stress-relieving thing for him lately, and now, filled with any and all useful things he could find in Dudley's pile, his inventory was in dire need of some stacking up. His room, after some clearing up, it had become quite livable. A bit small, but it was the best Harry had ever had. That, combined with the thought of not having to come back to the Dursleys the next summer was what was tiding him over the month of August.

Harry pulled out the Potion's textbook by Jigger and the reference book that McGonagall had made him buy. Harry was about to set the reference book called Introduction to Reactions by Fine Brothers aside when he suddenly noticed something in the dark of his room that he hadn't noticed in the broad daylight in Flourish & Blotts.

The book was glowing with a faint light.

Curious about what the cause was, Harry grabbed it and started fumbling around with it.

Ping!

You have obtained a skill book! Would you like to learn the skill, 'Potions'?

YES/NO?

Looking back at the stack of books he'd pulled out, Harry noticed that while all the school course books were entirely devoid of any glow, all the reference books for each of his subjects were glowing.

Harry grinned. This was going to be fun!

A couple of days after that night, the Dursleys had plans to visit the new traveling circus that had set up shop in London. Unfortunately for them, none of their neighbors were available to take Harry in for the day. Afraid that the freak would ruin their day, the Dursleys had gladly and immediately agreed when Harry had told them that he'd get himself home before nightfall and let himself out of the car near the Royal Library.

With the Dursleys gone, Harry, of course, was entirely too delighted to see shelves after shelves of books, and even more so when he noticed that quite a few of those were giving off the barely visible glow that seemed to only be visible to him. Without further ado, he took to the books with a gusto, not even realizing that his Int had gone up by 3 even before he had finished his second book.

INT - 14

He, however, did look up from the Richard Feynman Lectures when a ping rang in his ears.

Ping!

A new skill has been made due to hard work and practice!

Science, Lv-1 (80%)

A branch of knowledge that deals with the workings of the world.

Physics- Basic concepts of physical science.

Chemistry- Basic concepts of chemical science.

Botany-Basic concepts of science dealing with flora.

Zoology- Basic concepts of science dealing with fauna.

Science…in a world with magic, science could at times feel so pointless, but if the Game agreed that it was a skill worth having, then it was something to work on. Harry waved it away and turned back to his book.

"Boy, I better not hear from Petunia that you reached home late," Vernon growled at Harry as he walked out of the Grunnings' main premises and into the small sea of warehouses and production buildings that surrounded them.

Harry didn't care. He had a man to follow and a mission to complete.

A couple of days prior to that fateful day, Mr. Grunnings had paid a courtesy visit to the Dursleys' home, bringing with him some expensive wine and a can of caviar the Dursleys could barely conceive of affording. Harry, of course, had been locked in his bedroom beforehand, but Mr. Grunnings had insisted on a complete house tour of his 'favorite' employee, and the Dursleys had been forced to reveal the existence of their abnormal little nephew.

The fat greasy man had bent down, grinning at Harry as he offered him a hand. Prompted by Vernon's furious miming from behind his guest, Harry had shaken his hand, accidentally pressing a little harder than he'd intended to.

"Ohho!" Mr. Grunnings had exclaimed, getting onto his feet, "Your nephew has the handshake of a man Vernon. Tell me, young man, have you ever had any interests in drills and construction equipment as such?"

Harry started to shake his head, but seeing Vernon turn redder than a tomato, he quickly turned his shake into a nod. Grunnings could barely seem to contain himself.

"Well! Then it is settled! You, young man, simply mustcome and see our facilities tomorrow."

And settled it was. No matter how much Vernon had tried to protest, Grunnings had been set on Harry going to visit their factory, and after he'd Observed the man, so was Harry.
