(HPMM)Chapter 3: Seed package
🕑 Added 2025-08-22 15:00:20 +0000 UTC'Status.' I thought once the tutorial was over.
{Name: Alexander Drake
Race: Homo Sapien(Wizard subbranch)
Age: 11
Skills: N/A
Abilities: Magic Lv1
Items: Common shirtx4, Common pantsx4, Common shoes, half a bar of chocolate,
Treasures: Seed package
Currencies: Five pounds, 23 pence}
'I'm a what!?' I mentally yelled as I looked the status screen.
How could I not be shocked at the discovery? I knew exactly what this meant and it all clicked in my head at once. The strange things happening around the previous owner of this body, the location in England, I was in the version of Earth that had the wizarding world of Harry Potter.-
I couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at this revelation. Sure the world could be extremely dangerous between careless uses of magic, evil wizards, magical beasts and politics but it was also a world of wonder as well. Even better I was a wizard at the age of eleven which means I would likely be either getting a letter via owl or a visit from someone to introduce me to the magical side of the world soon.
'That puts a damper on my plan to leave this place. Even if I may be able to take better care of myself alone I don't want to risk missing my entry into the wizarding world because of that choice. I'll stay until I can learn the location of the Leaky Cauldron.' I thought making a game plan for the future.
My eyes then moved onto the thing listed in the treasures part of my status. I wasn't sure what a seed package was exactly but one thing I did know was that it wasn't part of the belongings that I had gotten from the drawers.-
I assumed it was in the system inventory and focused on trying to open that exact thing. To my surprised it worked as a window opened up mid air that was exactly one meter in size and depth. Within this window I saw a single glittering golden box that was maybe twelve inches cubed. I cautiously reached forward and felt no resistance as my hands slipped through this odd transparent film and into the space to close around the box. Removing it I let the inventory vanish and moved to open the box curiously.-
I don't know what I was expecting but whatever it was I didn't find it. There was no grand surges of power or blinding lights. The lid smoothly lifted off the box and sitting quietly within was a small sack, two strange glowing rainbow stones and a strange looking amulet that looked like a iron ninja star almost but with only three points on a normal looking thin silver chain. The box seemed to just dissolve into nothing nothingness after that leaving these items on my lap. I opened up the sack only to be left confused as it was filled withy strange rainbow colored coins that had a large stylized "M" on one side and my face on the other.-
I brought my status back up at this point hoping for some clues as to what all this was.
{Treasures: Skill stone(Appraisal), Skill stone(Extraction), Amulet of Articulation(Skyrim)
Currencies: Five pounds, 23 pence, 150 System coins}
'Okay so these weird coins are system coins and I understand what the amulet is about but what's up with these skill stones?' I thought confused as I slipped the amulet on under my shirt and picked one up.
{Skill stone detected, acquire skill Y/N?}
'Yes.' I confirmed.
To my surprise the stone seemed to adhere to my palm at that and break down into particles of sand that burrowed into my head painlessly. I groaned slightly however as I now had a chunk of information in my head that hadn't been there before. It wasn't painful really but highly disorienting rather. I somehow knew exactly how to use my skill and had to admit that it was a fitting skill for a merchant to have. Appraisal was a skill that allowed me to look at an item and automatically learn about it's value, downsides, condition and uses via a description.-
This skill was perfect for a merchant because it would make sure that no matter how convincing a counterfeit is I'd always know it was fake. On the same scale it would also let me make deals that would be profitable for me easier. Encouraged by this discovery I repeated this process with the other skill stone and this time I was left stunned. Extraction was nothing like I had thought it would be which was finding the positive aspects of something and them drawing them out. No it was actually a studying skill.-
Extraction basically allowed me to more fully comprehend and internalize information I read. I was conflicted about this skill as it honestly sounded rather niche and situationally useful. Like I understood the whole knowledge is power thing but unlike Appraisal this skill was not going to actively help me making deals. I accepted it easily enough though as I was going to Hogwarts soon enough and would need to study to excel there. This skill would help me greatly in this regard so I couldn't be too upset about it. As for the Amulet of Articulation I was VERY familiar with it's effects and absolutely loved that I got it.-
{Item name: Amulet of articulation
Class: Treasure
Value: 4000 system coins
Condition: Perfect
Description: A specially enchanted amulet belonging to the thieves guild in the region of Skyrim in the Elder scrolls universe. Increases the wearers persuasiveness greatly and provides a minor protective area where it sits.}
In Skyrim where it originated the effect makes persuasion checks almost always succeed but as this was reality and not a video game it's much weaker effect was not unacceptable. I was thrilled to have the thing though as I had no doubt it's effect would see much use as a merchant needs to be persuasive to swind- I mean earn a righteous profit.

Love the new book

Thanks for another enjoyable chapter. He should definitely be friend Hagrid, one because he’s a swell fellow, and two, he has access to incredibly valuable things in the forbidden forest. Unicorn hair, shed unicorn horns, giant spider venom, various magical plants, and shed pieces of other magical animals. I do wonder what he could give Haggard in return, since there could be a lot of things that could be useful for him, at least in regards to a Multiverse of item choices lol. If he can have an inventory of extra books for all seven years of the Hogwarts curriculum in the main magical subjects like Transfiguration, Charms, Runes, and DADA, that would be very valuable. Let alone the Mastery books and Forbidden section books that he could possibly access copies of in the Room of Requirement. Oh! I do wonder if he could make a deal with Harry, giving the young boy who lived something rather valuable in return for him trading the Horcrux in his scar? I imagine his overall health, physical and mental, as well as magical would be improved without that parasitic leach in his scar. It would be interesting to see what he could gain from the main character if you could trade that away, and with the main character could trade a piece of dark Lord soul for. There’s probably plenty of necromancers and soul magic users in the Multiverse that could use it for something, even a potion lol. I do hope he can find the Protego Diabloca spell or maybe Grindelwald’s grimoire, since that’s my favorite spell lol. But still, he could trade some health related items to Sirius to gain access to the black library, and just helping his godson would probably get him that as well lol. But the plethora of dark magic available would be pretty valuable to the right buyers, as well as various ritualistic knowledge as well. Anyway, my mind can run wild with a lot of scenarios and valuable things to trade that could be useful in the Multiverse. Especially some of these spells like Fiendfyre and the space expansion charm getting powered by some real power houses. Once again, thanks for another entertaining chapter, excited to see how things continue. Also, really looking forward to what his first contacted world will be.
