AN: Re-wrote some things. Thanks to everyone who corrected me on some things like grammar and terminology.

Harrison "Harry" James Potter was an estranged child; son to Lillian "Lily" Potter and Jamison "James" Potter, both of whom worked for the Prime Minister of Britian. His father was the Head of Defense and his mother was the Deputy Prime Minister. He was the eldest of three. His younger siblings, Rosebeth (affectionately called Rose) and Charlus.

While having high societal connections; he wasn't the social type. At all. His sister and brother were popular figures in their own little circles. His sister was a carbon-copy of his mother, brains and all included, and his brother was the sporty type, much like his father had been during his younger years.

He, meanwhile, never took after any of his family. He didn't have his mother's gifted intellect and ingenuity, nor his father's natural charm and charisma. No, he was nothing like the rest of his family. He didn't have what they had, and he was fine with that.

He later found something he was good at; online RPGs. In the gaming community, he had become a legend. He had undergone many names in many games, the most recent being an RPG called "World of Swords" where he was known as Wells H. He had obliterated level after level, knowing how to grind, farm and the best ways to gain Exp as well as the best weapons.

His parents didn't know. Heck, they wouldn't have cared. He was doing well in his studies; he was one of the top students of his batch. No, it wasn't his mother's genes. It was merely the fruits born of hard work and determination.

When he was chosen as one of the lucky one thousand to be a Beta Tester for the Virtual Reality Gear-set and the newest and first VRMMORPG; Sorcery Arts Online (SAO), he was ecstatic.

The moment he had slipped into the VRG-Set , he was enthralled. A myriad of colors passed through his vision and multiple digitized screens appeared in-front of him.

Quickly deciding on a name, he spelled out Harry in his character profile's name.

He looked through the Class System and, with accordance to the game's name, chose his class as Wizard , the only other being Witch (which was for female players), and selected the accept button.

What came next rendered him clueless. On the panel (there were apparently Divisions in the game) were the words Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. He selected the Help option.

An info list came down:

Gryffindor - The Class for the brave and determined! (+10 on Strength and Damage Resistance)

Hufflepuff - The Class for the loyal and hardworking! (+10 on every Stat if fighting in a party with at least two Hufflepuff members)

Ravenclaw - The Class for the intelligent and witty! (Experience Points are gained easier and +5 on every Stat)

Slytherin - The Class for the cunning and ambitious! (Money is earned faster. +10 on Speed and Hiding)

Choosing which sounded best for him, he selected the Gryffindor Class. The screen disappeared and a badge with a lion in a crest appeared on his chest. Across the badge was the word "GRYFFINDOR".

The system had then asked for his Base Stats . Quickly deciding, he chose the Strength and Agility stats as his base stats, increasing them from the base of 30 to 55, not counting the Class increase. He would work on any other stats he would gain later, he thought.

He customized his avatar to look nothing like him. The avatar's hair was rather spiky, the bangs covering one of his eyes and reached down his mid-back. He changed his eyes from the vivid green that they were to a dark gray. His body type was made to resemble that of a runner's and a swimmer's; lean and built for speed. The avatar was also a good half-foot taller than him, and its skin tanner than he actually was. Feeling satisfied with his character, he selected the Finish option.

He found himself in a large town, in the middle of the town square, which was identified as Town of Salem. Saying it was large was an understatement; it was probably bigger than the city of Tokyo and London put together, but it was to be expected. Starting players would require a lot of help and the first towns would often be big ones.

He looked down at himself and noticed he wore rather baggy robes. The sleeves were rather long, and the robes itself actually touched the ground. To say the least, he looked like a monk more than a wizard.

He looked to his left and noticed a panel. A green Health Bar indicated his vitality and right bellow it was a blue bar; his Mana Points he assumed. He had played his fair share of fantasy games. Right next to it was his player name: Harry and his current level of 1. Underneath that was his Overall Stats

Health: 2000/2000

Mana: 1500/1500

He grinned. Taking off down the street, he took notice of the many shops and stands selling different items of different value at different prices. To his surprise, with the game being magic-oriented, NPCs were actually selling weapons like daggers and knives on-top of the magical items he had seen like staffs and staves.

While scouring the different shops, he did not fail to acknowledge the other Beta Testers that were doing the same just as he was. He even greeted two or three of them upon passing by.

He was amazed by all that he saw.

He suddenly came to a halt and frowned. He was getting annoyed with his current state of attire; it was too loose for him to even consider using it fight even against a slime. It was interesting; the VRG-Set actually assimilated the feeling of wearing clothing that was too big for you. The manufacturers of the game did not leave out the fact that, despite it being a game of magical nature, they had implemented the concepts of physics and real life. If you were to fall because of gravity at -9.8m/s2 IRL, then you would as well in the game.

Having spotted a clothing shop awhile back, he retraced his steps and walked into an NPC shop called Charm's Clothes, which conveniently enough, was next to a weaponry dealer.

He walked up to the NPC woman and, awkwardly, asked to buy a new set of clothing. Immediately, an item list dropped down in-front of him. He looked at the items available and pouted. They were hardly worth it. They were merely leather and cloth items. He understood that better items would come the more he leveled up and unlocked the next floors but couldn't they have given him something better than these?

"I'll purchase the robes, along with a set of pants, shirts and boots." Harry said, unsure with his decision. The NPC woman nodded and another menu popped out in-front of him. It showed the price (an astounding 674 Sickles which he guessed was the currency) and the amount of money he had (1,000 Galleons, 950 Sickles, and 2,000 Knuts two of the others he also guessed were currencies). He selected the Transact option and selected the amount he needed to pay.

She nodded and gave a quick thank you before another menu appeared in-front of him. It showed his Inventory which contained the new items. Quickly stepping into the changing rooms, he unequipped his current clothing and selected the newest one and equipped them.

His current clothing disappeared in a small of flash of blue leaving him in his undergarments, before in another flash of blue; his newest clothes took their places.

His robes were no longer so baggy, the sleeves having stopped by his wrists which were grey and black in color and stopped by his ankles; it was tied by his neck. His grey long sleeved shirt and black pants were also quite comfortable. His boots did too.

A message icon was in-front of him. Curios, he tapped the icon, receiving a Quest Notice.

"If you are done exploring, go to Ollivander's and go get your first wand!"

The rewarded experience for the quest was considerable that it would bump his level up to three at the very least. He would also apparently receive his first weapon-class item. He was rather disheartened. A measly wand; well it was better than a regular stick that was for sure.

Going through his Main Menu, which was activated by swiping downwards, he looked through his Map and tagged the NPC shop named Ollivander's (which took a good minute to find out how to do). Once out of the shop, he took off running towards Ollivander's, a blue arrow pointing him in which direction to go.

Arriving at tagged shop, the arrow disappeared; Harry had opened the door and walked in. The shop itself was… messy to say the least. There was parchment ('Who still used that?' He thought) strewn about inside, half-melted candles were flickering and rows upon rows of shelves were behind a rather clean counter which seemed to go on even until the back-portion of the store.

Just as he was about to press the bell that was placed on the counter, an old man on a ladder rolled into the room from the seventh row of shelves. He had rather unruly yet tamed white hair and had a small moustache. Harry noticed that he too, wore robes in a brown and gold coloration.

Harry looked at the cursor on-top of the wizened old man's head which was yellow in coloration, denoting his status as an NPC.

The old man (Ollivander, he presumed) climbed down from his tall ladder and addressed him at the counter. "Greetings, my name is Ollivander and I am the owner of this establishment. How may I be of service?" Ollivander inquired.

Harry bowed. "As to you, my name is Harry. I am in need of a wand." He replied, doing his best not to sound snobbish. Living in a family where you would occasionally meet the Queen of England, manners were drilled into his head. Apparently, he even talked like that to a program...

At the word wand, Ollivander brightened up and a smile graced his animated features. "A wand eh?" The old NPC pressed.

He cleared his throat. "Very well then," Ollivander took out a role of measuring tape, what for, Harry did not know.

"Now, which arm are you?"

Harry looked befuddled. "I beg your pardon?" he asked.

Ollivander merely chuckled, a strange thing for an NPC to do. "A wand is not so easily purchased as one would, say a dagger. I cannot simply sell you any kind of wand. No, it must be 'in-tuned' with you." The NPC explained.

"What does that have to do with my arm?" Harry inquired.

"The wand chooses the wizard!" exclaimed Ollivander. "Everything is important as the wand is the judge and you are to be judged. Now," He unrolled the measuring tape. "Which arm are you?"

Harry shrugged. "I'm ambidextrous." He admitted. "I do hope it won't cause any problems."

"That is of no problem." Replied the elderly wand-maker. "It just merely just widens the variety which could accept you."

After measuring both of Harry's arms, and asking other questions, Ollivander seemed to ponder before he took off into the back of his shop. He came back five minutes later with five different boxes and laid them on the counter before removing their lids and revealing the different wands that each box contained.

"Now then, which wand will choose you?"

Harry grinned. This game was getting better and better.

Author's Notes:

VRG-Set – the equivalent of the Nervegear in Sword Art Online

Now, I need people to vote on who will Harry end up with. Conditions are:

1) Is not an OC (maybe I'll reconsider if you give me enough info to impress me).

2) No Yaoi!

3) Can be from the anime or the book. I'll think of someway to include them.

4) Maybe harem if enough people vote for it.

To someone who reviewed: Harry's real name is Harrison not Harry itself. He did not make a mistake in his name choice. It is merely a variant of his real name. Plus, people are more prone to use an actual name or the last name, instead of nicknames.
