HP: The Magical Gamer [Chapter 45: Connected Bracelets!] (Patreon)

[Really, Henry. Now you are blaming me? You well know that the quests or anything regarding the game is optional. There is no penalty if you just ignore it all and live your life as normal. So, please don't blame me for the many deaths you have caused. My word is not law for you. You are free to ignore me.]

Henry winced at the annoyed sound of Isis.

'I am sorry, Isis. I know it is not your fault. I know I am just trying to blame all my woes on others. I am sorry. But it really is frustrating. For the first time after the death of Iris, I thought I would enjoy Hogwarts with Daphne and Tracey. It was so much fun being doted on by Daphne. I wanted it to last. But I have to see the truth. I have to face it. I am not here in this world for a vacation. I am not here to make friends. I am not here to enjoy myself. I am here to power up. And that's what I shall do.' Henry mentally conveyed to her.

[It's your life, Henry. You can enjoy it or you can brood. I won't complain either way. Do whatever you want. Oh yes, on the positive note, I see it's the perfect opportunity to reveal this to you. SYSTEM UPDATE! A new function is added to the game. I can grant you class specific skills from now on. Even though you still have your [Skill Create] perk, you will be viable to get Skills as rewards for quests. It's great news for you.]

[Skill - [Army of the Dead]

Grants the user the ability to summon an army of 30,000 undead foot soldiers. Can be used only once a day. Takes 15,000 MPs to cast.

Do you want to add it to your skillset? (Y/N) ]

Henry pressed on the yes button.

'Thank you, Isis. While it is not usable right now, I sure can see the benefits of having an organised army in future.' Henry thought gratefully.

[You are welcome.]

Henry opened his character stats to see his new levels.

He nodded in satisfaction. His levels were rising quickly. He had been here just for a couple of months and was already at level 75. Hopefully, he would reach level 300 soon so he could go back home and revive his sister. Then he could finally enjoy his life.

Daphne and Tracey were locked in their rooms. Both had been silent, not uttering a single word since they came into her room, both waiting for Henry's arrival.

They jumped at the knock on their door.

"Daphne, it's me. Open the door." Henry's voice came muffled through the door.

Daphne hurried towards the door and opened it. She pulled him inside and again shut the door, locking it.

She sighed in relief as she checked him up and down. She leaned forward and pulled him in a tight, needy hug. Tracey too moved towards them and patted his head, combing his hair. This time Henry allowed them to mess his hair.

"You alright?" Daphne asked, breaking off the hug and grabbing him by his shoulders.

"Yes, I am fine, Daphne. I came here to say goodbye. I am leaving the castle. As you might have guessed, I am not a helpless young kid. I am a Necromancer. And I don't think Dumbledore would forgive me after what I did and protect me from the parents whose children I just killed. I have to run away, but I wanted to see you one last time. I couldn't leave without saying farewell." Henry explained hurriedly with a joyless smile.

Daphne and Tracey shared a hopeless look.

"Do you have to go? You can hide in your cat form and remain in my room. Please don't go." Daphne pleaded, cupping his cheeks and staring into his swirling silver eyes. Henry tenderly took her hand in his and moved it away from his face. He looked at her wet gentle blue eyes and gave her hand a squeeze.

"I have to go, Daphne. The request you are making is undoable. I have other things to do outside the castle. Hiding in Hogwarts as a cat is just too inconvenient." He declined her offer and kissed her on the cheek before stepping back.

"But before that, I have a gift for you. Take this and wear it always." He said softly, putting a silver bracelet in her hand. It was one of the two which he gained as a reward for finishing the quest.

[Two Connected Bracelets:

– Silver and gold bracelets signifying deep bonds between two people. The golden bracelet will vibrate if the wearer of the silver one is in danger.]

Daphne marvelled at the beautiful jewellery and quickly slipped her hand through it. It fit perfectly on her wrist.

"This will keep me informed of your health. If you are ever in danger, I will come for you. I have made a promise to keep you both safe after all and I intend to stand by my promise." Henry said with a gentle smile, caressing her face.

"Henry." she whispered with tears dripping from her eyes. She again wrapped him in a tight hug, pushing his face on her bosom, cradling his head, wanting to bundle him in blankets and hide him from the world. He chuckled in nostalgia as she freed himself from the prison of her breasts.
