Level 2. Magnus... just Magnus

'Progress saved? System, explanation please!'

[Your progress in the world is saved.]

'...'

This system is really... trolling me.

'Can these saves be used by me in any way?'

[Saves is a representation of your progress in the world at a time it was saved. Your location in time and space is saved as well, so you can load to it anytime you want to.]

Traveling to a location in time and space... Wait a second?!

'Does it mean I can travel to any moment in my life as long as I saved it?'

[No. But you can travel in time.]

'What is the difference?'

[You can't travel to a moment in your life, because by traveling to a time when you had that moment, you will be traveling to your future and not past. Thus, you can't change the past. Whatever you will be doing is your future.]

It sounds deep and very complicated but in short...

'So it is basically the same as Save&Load function in many games?'

[Yes]

'Can I manually save my progress?'

[Yes. Just say save progress and it will call 〖 Save〗 function.]

'Am I limited in the number of saves?'

[Yes. You can only have up to 10 saves active.]

'So now, is the world still frozen I assume?'

I asked because the Hagrid guy was still frozen and looking at the supposed location of my previous face. I said previously because now I became obviously smaller due to my age changed to 11 years.

[Yes, it is. Say 'Commence Adventure' to unfreeze time.]

'Commence Adventure'

"Oh wait... Where... Oh, there you are? Did you become smaller?"

"No, I was that height. Totally not changed?"

"Hmm... Okay." Then he remembered that the guy before him has trespassed the academy territory. "Who are you and what are you doing here, ay?"

"Hmm?" I made a questioning look "I am a student of Hogwarts. I came here by train and went after my rat that ran away during the trip. Somehow, I came here and could not find him. Then I tried to come back and got lost."

He was not that smart in the movies. Please, Hagrid, stay a kind and not a very smart person and preferably trust me. 'Please.Please.Please. I heard important things should be said thrice. Hope it works.'

"Oh, okay... wait! You will be late for house pick. We need to hurry. I will lead ya to the hall."

"Okay. By the way, what is your name?"

"It is Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid. And what's your name, boy?"

"Magnus"

"Magnus? And your last name?"

"Just Magnus"

"Just? Interesting last name! Never heard of one, like this."

"No... Just is not my last name. My name is just one word, Magnus. It is my full name, Magnus."

Please tell me he gets it. Otherwise, I will forever be branded 'Just Magnus'!

"One-word name? First time I hear a thing like this! Where are you from?"

'Where am I from, system?'

[Your adventure, your choice!]

'Damn! Zero help... Save progress.'

I look like an Asian kind of person, with black hair and black eyes.

"I am from Asia. Traveled around the countries there. Then I somehow received a letter from here when I have reached 11 years and found out about magic. Decided to come here and find what is more to it?"

"And you? What are you doing here?" I asked partly because I did not remember and partly cause not much was told in films... at least from my memory.

"I am the keeper of keys and grounds, here in Hogwarts" He answered clearly and with a hint of pride.

"And what does that mean?"

"Umm.. well I keep keys? Oh, I also look after animals and some plants. Keep watch for any dangers from the forest and do some menial tasks around helping other teachers" He said.

"Hm. I understand."

"We need to hurry up, to get into the hall quick. And you do not need to worry about your things. All your stuff with books and clothes will be moved to your future room"

'Shit! Books! Do I have books?'

[Books were deposited to your inventory with the addition of simple neutral wand not bound to anyone. Robe and hat were equipped during race pick. 2 other sets, gloves, winter cloak and others are in inventory.]

'Inventory? How do I access it?'

[Say 'inventory'. By concentrating on the item in it or by saying its name, more information will be shown.]

'Inventory!'

I have concentrated on "Magical Drafts and Potions"

〖 Magical Drafts and Potions 〗

〖 Book with knowledge of alchemy and initial potion brewing 〗

〖 -Read- -Throw- -Use- 〗

'I can understand Read and Throw, but what Use means?'

[It is one of the actions you can do with the mentioned item.]

'And? What 'use' does?'

[You use the book.]

'...'

I heavily sighed with a tad bit of frustration.

Let's try to use it, not like it will disappear.

'Use'

『 Alchemy 15 ➔ 16 』

What the heck? Using it is like a skill book in the game! No way. Can I use it multiple times?

I repeated the procedure and called for inventory and Focused on the item, but alas...

〖 Magical Drafts and Potions 〗

〖 Book with knowledge of alchemy and initial potion brewing 〗

〖 -Read- -Throw- 〗

I can't use it anymore. A shame, but it would have been overpowered if I could abuse it.

"Magnus? Where are you?"

I heard him scream somewhat in front of me and saw the anxious face of Hagrid looking around with lantern above his head. It seems like unconsciously I stopped in my tracks, when my alchemy leveled up and because we were hurrying up to get to the main hall, he must have missed me.

Oops...

Just when I wanted to call for him.

『 Sneak 15 ➔ 16 』

'Wow, what?'

"Magnus!"

Damn! No time for that, need to get to the main hall before hat-pick is finished.

"I am here, Hagrid!"

I screamed and waved my hand in the air to him. I caught up with him and made up something simple to believe.

"We were hurrying so much, I must have fallen back. I am sorry."

I made an apologetic face.

"It is okay. I should be the one to apologize. I was moving too fast, sorry. Let's hurry up!"

"Yeah"

I answered a bit slower due to the next lines appearing in front of me

『 Speech 15 ➔ 16 』

『 Level Up 』

'What the heck? Save progress!'
