HP: The Gacha Archmage

Before I could take the ring from my inventory I felt a change in the air. Pure and dense Dou Qi began to spread through my universe. The epicenter seemed to be from the plants I just planted and rapidly spreading to the whole planet.

I expected dou qi to come to my universe but not like this. Well I guess it makes sense since those plants need dou qi to flourish so my universe provides.

Anyway I take out Yao Chens ring and place it on my finger.

"Medicine Sovereign Yao Chen wake up!" I say to the ring and soon a spirit forms before me looking just like Yao Chen in the manga only real. It is only possible for him to come out immediately because of the enhanced status of the ring.

"How do you know me? Where is this place?! The dou qi here is so pure and dense!"

"Before I answer your question can you tell me the last thing you remember?"

"Hmm… The last thing I remember is being betrayed by my disciple and sealing my soul into my personal space ring."

So he never was found in the novel and never meet Xiao Yan. Perfect~

"Alright to answer your questions yes I know you. I have read many of your travels though books I had in my Home World. Though in those books you were found in one way or another. This time you were brought to me by summoning. This is my personal Universe here I can control everything like a God." I gesture to my fields showing the vast amounts of space along with my fields

"You read about me in a book? What do you mean by Home World and personal universe?"

"Exactly as I said. Though this is my personal universe the outside world is not my original home world. Instead it is a world of magic not dou qi."

"Fascinating. But why did you summon my ring?"

"Well it wasn't me personally that summoned you. In fact it was completely random. Your ring just happened to be one of the things I was rewarded. Don't bother asking about it as I can't tell you for now"

"Hmm… Alright now then what do you want?"

"I would like to learn Alchemy from you. In return not only will I try to restore your body but I will show you worlds you couldn't even dream of."

"That sounds fair but first I need to check out your attributes" He touches my wrist and stays silent for a bit "You do have talent to be an Alchemist with fire and wood attributes along with a variety of other elements which should be impossible."

"So can I become your student?"

"Yes I will take you as my student even though you have no dou qi in your body yet. I will teach you how to refine dou qi to start with." He then goes on to tell me how to properly refine dou qi.

"Interesting. I'll try it out later but for now let us go back to my new homeworld so you can see the wonders of our modern age and our magic. Oh and outside speak directly in my mind so I don't look crazy talking to myself" With that said I leave my dimension and reappear back on the train where only one second had passed.

'What is this thing we are in?'

'This is call a train. This is one of our ways of transportation. It's like carriages but much faster'

'Really. Truly an interesting world'

Me and him hold a conversation for a while until the train starts to move. I pull out my violin but before I get to start playing it my door opens. Surprisingly it wasn't Ron who appeared but instead it was Hermoine and Neville.

"Hello, my we sit here? Everyone else is in groups you see, some of which were quite rude when we asked to sit with them." Says Hermoine

"Sure you can sit here. So long as you do not mind some of my actions or overly fawn over me when you learn who I am" They hustle into the room and I helped them move their trunks up into the compartments.

"So who exactly are you? I'm Hermoine Granger and this here is Neville Longbottom. I'm the first of my family to have magic. It's so exciting!"

"Pleasure to meet you both. I am Harry Potter, Heir of House Potter. You can call me Harry" It was told to me by my grandfather to hide my Black and Slytherin heritage for the time being. At least until Sirius is free.

Both looked stunned for a moment before Hermoine blurts out how she 'knows all about me' from various books she had read. "What a surprise, I know all about me too. Just so you know most of those books only say I survived the killing curse and don't get me started on the Adventures of Harry Potter series as those are all fake. They have little to do with how I really lived all these years."

"But they are books. Books can't be wrong!"

"Yet most of those books are just speculation about what happened that night and the Adventures of Harry Potter books are merely fantastical fairy tales. Think about it Hermoine, years ago people who wrote the books still believed the Sun rotated around the Earth but now they say otherwise. Books can not be the be all of everything"

I think I broke her. Anyways, Neville asked me a question.

"S-so how have you lived since that night?"

"Quite well actually" I say with a teasing grin

"You know what he meant!" Hermoine exclaims after snapping out her stupor.

"Just a joke, calm down." I said partially holding up my hands as if in surrender "Anyway if you must know I lived in an orphanage for the last 10 years." they now look at me sadly "Hey don't look so sad. Remember I said I lived quite well. I was even considered a musical prodigy and won many competitions to improve the orphanage with the prize money."

"Really?"

"Yes really, though in the last month I have spent with my great grandfather"

"I thought your grandparents died, at least that's what I heard."

"Yes my grandparents are dead on my Potter side but my grandmother was Dorea Black and she had an older brother named Articus Black. Articus is still alive and I spent the month with him learning more about the customs and traditions of the wizarding world we are entering."

"Wouldn't that make him your great uncle?"

"We prefer the term grandfather" I said "So which House do you two want to be in? I'm fine with any house and I probably could excel in any of them."

"I-I'll probably be in Hufflepuff" said Neville. Hufflepuff really does sound like a brand of marshmallows "I'm barely above a squib"

"Well nothing to be embarrassed about being in Hufflepuff. The current head of the DMLE was a Hufflepuff and lots of Hufflepuffs became ministers of magic."

"Well I want to be in Gryfindor!" she is easily excited it seems "Headmaster Dumbledore was in Gryfindor you know."

"And Merlin himself was in Slytherin. You shouldn't decide which house you will be in just on who was in there. I think you would be best in Ravenclaw since you love books as does nearly every Ravenclaw student. Ravenclaw even has their own library" She seems to consider what I said. "So did you choose your companions for Hogwarts?"

"No. I didn't find an owl or cat that interested me." Said Hermoine "That and I don't want a toad"

"My uncle Algie gave me a toad. I named him Trevor" he then checks his pockets for a while before panic erupted on his face "Oh no! Trevor escaped again!"

"Did you check your luggage?" I responded

"I checked just before I left this morning"

"Well let's check in this room and in your luggage first before moving to search the train shall we?"

"Okay…" so we searched the room for trevor and when that didn't turn up anything I pulled down Nevilles trunk so he can open it up. Once opened Trevor jumps out with a croak "Trevor!"

"Well that was easy"

"Thank you Harry"

"No need, we're all friends here"

"Really?" asked Hermoine and Neville

"Yea. Unless you too don't want to be friends with an orphan"

"No no it's not that I just never had a friend before…" said Neville

"Me either" Says Hermoine

"Well now we are friends" I said with a smile

"Wait you never mentioned your companion" said Hermoine

"Oh, slipped my mind when looking for Trevor. Well I have two companions. One is my snowy owl Hedwig, who is flying to the school, and the other is my true familiar Charmander"

"You have a true familiar?!" "What's a Charmander?" they both spoke at the same time

"Why are you shocked Neville. He just has a familiar like you have with your toad" said Hermoine looking directly at Neville.

"That's different like really different. What me and Trevor have is a pseudo familiar bond meaning I can sort of command him and somewhat understand him. But a true familiar is insanely rare. Merlin and Dumbledore had/have a true familiar if the rumors are true."

"Yes what he said. Dumbledore has a phoenix named Fawkes and Merlin is rumored to have had a dragon for a familiar. True Familiars are protected by law and anyone trying to harm or take a true familiar can be challenged to the death or get the death sentence."

"That's barbaric!" exclaimed Hermoine.

"Not really Hermoine." Spoke up Neville "A true familiar is bonded to the soul of their companion. So harming a true familiar harms the wizard and can even drive one insane if the bond is severed. So the law was passed to protect the familiars and their wizards"

"Well I still don't like it. Oh! I'll ask again what is a Charmander"

"Oh right" I take the Luxury Ball from my pocket "Come on out Sara" a red beam shots out onto the floor before taking the shape of Sara my Charmander

"Charmander!" She said which translated to 'Yay freedom!'

"Woah is it's tail on fire?" Asked Neville

"Is it a magical creature?" asked Hermoine

"Yes HER tail is on fire. The brighter it burns the healthier she is on the opposite side if her tail dims she can be in serious danger. And she may be a new type of magical creature since no one has seen anything like her before"

"Then where did you find it I mean her?"

"I just found a strange egg near the orphanage and little under a month ago she hatched" that's the story I am sticking too anyway

"Simply amazing" Hermoine says all excited, she was practically jumping in her seat

"Yes she is amazing. Now before you both came in I was about to play my violin. Maybe I can play with you two as my audience?"

"I don't mind" Neville

"Go ahead" Hermoine

"Char char!" 'Yay music!'

So I began to play Fortitude by Theo Warrington though I totally plagiarized his work as my own since he didn't make the song til 2024 and it is currently 1991. Though it would be much better if I could play multiple instruments at the same time or had the rest of the instruments for the song
