HP: A Sociopath Gamer In Magic World [ Chapter 97: Mastering Death! ] (Patreon)

The two Gryffindors exchanged unsure looks. Oh, were they thinking about me?

Harry apparently thought it was wiser to hurry things along, "Ahem, so how are you going to take her?"

As Charlie explained the harness they were going to us, I focused on Pandora. She'd grown surprisingly strong considering she was only two weeks old. It might be a side effect of my [Gamer] ability but she could already manage a low hover and a weak fireball that worked remarkably well against zombies. I was genuinely curious how she would turn out once she reached adulthood.

Watching them depart with Pandora, I bid her a silent farewell. All I had to do now was wait.

Unaware of my scheming, the two children celebrated at finally having the source of their troubles gone.

I silently watched them head down the staircase, the two somehow completely forgetting about the invisibility cloak they left on the floor. Without a second to waste I bent down to pick it up.

[Cloak of Invisibility-Rank: Legendary

Description: The Cloak of Invisibility is a magical artifact capable of turning the wearer invisible. It is one of the Deathly Hallows, three powerful artifacts said to be crafted by Death itself. It is said that he who collects all three Hallows will be the Master of Death, whether this is true or not is up to debate. What is known is that the original user, Ignotus Peverell passed it onto his descendants until it reached Harry Potter. [Hidden]

Effect: Turns user invisible when worn.

Effect: Resistant to magical attacks that would otherwise damage it. (Does not protect the wearer.)

Effect: [?] ]

Interesting. So, it had some parts I couldn't see. This is starting to feel like the beginning of a-

[Quest has been made.]

[Mastering Death

Description: The secret behind the Deathly Hallows is one of the greatest kept mysteries of the world. Who actually created the Hallows? What was their purpose? Is 'The Tale of Three Brothers' more than just some children's fairytale? Unveil the truth by collecting all three.

Objective: Collect all three Hallows.

Objective: ?

Objective: ?

Reward: ?]

Placing the cloak in my inventory I started to make my way back to my room.

Death huh?

Lake:-

Jogging along the shore of the lake, I allowed my mind to wonder.

While yesterday's events proved fruitful, it also marked the start of a huge deviation from the original story. It was safe to assume that many of the events would play out differently, now that Harry didn't have the Cloak of Invisibility.

It wasn't as if I was particularly concerned with keeping the original timeline, but if things became too unrecognizable it might spell the end of my future knowledge much sooner than I planned.

Perhaps gifting Harry another cloak would minimise some of the damages, because there was no chance in hell I was giving it back.

Nearing the school, I spotted a group of people running to meet me. Getting closer I saw it was the rest of my housemates, all looking extremely happy. Looks like the news of Gryffindor losing 150 points was finally out.

Slowing down I waved to them, "Hey guys, why are you all run-off!" I faked being nearly knocked over as Lisa came in for a flying tackle.

"We won~ We won~" Lisa sang.

"What did we win?" I asked unbothered by Lisa hanging off my neck.

"The House Cup!" Padma explained sounding just as excited as Lisa, "Gryffindor somehow lost a whole bunch of points last night. They were our only real competitors for the House Cup this year, but now that they're in last place, it practically guarantees us the win."

"Wow, that's unbelievable," I said with a shocked face. "Still we shouldn't count our chicken before they hatch."

Lisa let go of me and grinned, "That's why we're counting on you Charles, you better not lose the next Quidditch game."

Smiling back, I nodded, "Then I guess I better train extra hard."

Charms Classroom:-

"Protogo!" I yelled, summoning a transparent shield to deflect the binding curse. Sidestepping a stunner I countered with a spell that created a bright flash of light, hoping to blind the smaller man.

Flitwick wasn't fooled however as he continued to send jinxes my way. "I must say, I'm impressed by your progress. Very few can cast spells so well in the heat of battle. But you'll have to do better than that if you want to be champion. Many of your opponents will be older, better trained, and have more experience."

Just as I was about to send another jinx his way, I felt my wand get yanked out of my grip and into the awaiting hand of the small wizard.

"It's my defeat," I admitted with a sigh as I walked over to him.

"Now, now, no need to feel discouraged," the charming professor said with a chipper voice, "You've got plenty of talent for getting this far in only a few months."

"I suppose," I said, sounding dejected and taking a seat on a nearby chair.

Flitwick frowned and took a seat too, "I noticed you were a bit distracted during our duel, is something the matter, Charles?"

"I-well- no, never mind," I said, trying to sound hesitant.

The small professor placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, "You know you can tell me if something is bothering you."

"I-I-" I stumbled out before looking down on my lap, "I'm worried."

"What about?"

Running a hand through my hair I looked him straight in the eye, "Professor tell me the truth. (gulp) D-Do you think there's a chance I might not be human?"

That seemed to catch him off guard as his eyes widened to the size of dinner plates and his breath hitched. "Ch-Charles, what brought this on?"

Looking down at my hands, I spoke in a melancholy voice, "You know, I'm not stupid. I can hear them whispering behind my back, saying I'm part giant because of my height and strength."
