9 Priorities

Crynn POV

An good sleep is always to be appreciated. Waking up on a king size bed, dim rays of sunshine, popping out of the nearby window. It's good to be alive, "I have survived my first night in Hogwarts!" I cheerly celebrated. After the endeavour last night, I managed to wish myself an apartment room fully equipped with a large bathroom, a large bedroom, a large livingroom, a large kitchen, everything's large.

The only down side would be the fact that you can't create food out of nothing, as said in Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, you can't create "good" food, but you can create wine, water, or any form of sauce because they aren't particularly a nutritious substance. But that doesn't mean I can't create something out of nothing in this room. I succeeded in requesting a "Never Lasting Platter of Sandwiches", essentially, it's a plate that summons sandwiches and will never run out of them. Now food isn't an issue anymore. Although eating sandwiches for the whole year might not be very... Exciting, but desperate times call for some desperate measures and that's one priority solved.

The second priority, getting some magic books. And after another round of requests, I finally got myself a book, titled "The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 by Miranda Goshawk". Picking it up, I tried to as any normal people would do, opening the book!

{Item Inaccessible, Must Be Acquired By Rewards}

And the Goddamn blue screen showed up. Why must the blue screen Gods do me like this. "I just want to learn some spells!" Shouting towards the ceiling, I am clearly distraught by this revelation that the blue screen can't leave me alone. Hoooo.... Calming down, I focus on my other priorities. A whole year of waiting is going to craze me out. So why not I try accomplishing some bonus objectives. I said, "Mission" in my head and the blue screen shows itself once again.

{Steal the Philosopher's Stone in Hogwarts}

{Bonus Objectives : }

{1. Bird No Cry : Get a drop of Phoenix Tears from Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix. Birds do cry. (Rewards : Curse Em Birds Title, 5000 Mission Merits) }

{2. For the Greater Good : Expose Voldemort in front of the Great Hall, Dark Lord turns a shade darker. (Rewards : Exposer Title, 2000 Mission Merits) }

{3. Secret No More : Find and Enter the Chamber of Secrets, a hidden room unhidden. (Rewards : Room Finder Title, 5000 Mission Merits) }

{4. Senile Old Man : Defeat Dumbledore in a duel and prove you're better. A fight with the greatest light wizard of the century?? No problem. (Rewards : Legend Title, 51000 Mission Merits) }

{5. I Hate Spiders : Kill Aragog the Acromantula. Giant spiders are no different from spider memes, they just want love. (Rewards : Spider Slayer, 20000 Mission Merits) }

The first objective is a no go. Trying to get some Phoenix Tears is like trying to destroy a hocrux. Extremely hard, extremely unlikely. Harry Potter only managed to get Phoenix Tears, because Dumbledore sent to save Harry. No way the headmaster will just say, "I'll lend you a few drops of Phoenix Tears my boy." I just absolutely shoved two of his favourite professors down a flight of stairs, how's anyone gonna react to having your bestest buddies getting pushed of the stairs, their gonna be barking mad!

How am I gonna expose the Dark Lord while at the same time needing him for my plans. Even if I don't need him for my plans, How am I to expose him in front of the Great Hall. Marching right from the front door will get myself hexed and probably a few 'private' talks with two specific professors. I can't exactly sneak past hundreds of students just to pull down some fabric off someone's head.

Find and enter the Chamber of Secrets. It sounds so easy, it'll probably be able to lure an all brawn but no brain participant. Opening the chamber is hard enough as it is, but entering it! That's a death wish! First of all, to enter the chamber itself requires a talent known as parselmouth. A talent which of today, only two remain, Harry Potter and Tom Riddle. Both of which I've got no access to. And the second thing, entering the chamber means encountering one of Hogwart's best kept secrets. The last 'known' living basilisk (I still don't get how a snake could live a millenium long life), A creation of our dear Salazar 'Sally' Slytherin in an, historical scriptures suggest 'A tool to purge all mudbloods'. If that doesn't convince you of mnot entering the chamber, I have no idea what does.

Dumbledore is far from being a senile old man. He's Headmaster of Hogwarts, Supreme Mugwump of The International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and let's not forget the illustrious title, Defeater of Grindelwald. Let's focus on the last one. Grindelwald is a past Dark Lord, no one seems to care in the Harry Potter movies. But everyone seems to care about it in the Fantastic Beast movies. He managed to defend himself while simultaneously almost taking down more than 20 of MACUSA's aurors, if Newt Scamander had not interfered, He would've taken everyone down.

And lets not forget Protego Diabolica, a dark spell Grindelwald used, if not for Nicholas Flamel and a couple others cancelling it, would've burned Paris under a sea of scorching blue flames. And our dear at that time young transfiguration professor managed to take him down. Let's put emphasis on young. So young yet so powerful. And even when he's old, he managed to resist Voldemort's Fiendfyre and transforming a sea of glass shards thrown towards him to dust. Unbelieveable, and to win against someone like that, I ain't got 9 lives.

That leaves the last one, Killing Aragog. The easiest so far. The forbidden forest is largest and full of creatures, and a lot of them would want the acromatulas out and dead. If I can get myself to a centaur, I'm sure I can get them to rally up and defeat the vile acromantulas. First thing to do the next day, Acromantula hunting.
