Ch 1
Harry Potter, a young boy who is mistreated by his cruel uncle and aunt, is returning home through the frozen woods with a basket of goodies. He hopes to satisfy their hunger and avoid their beatings. Despite his reluctance to go back to his cabin, he sets out on the path leading to his destination.
As he walks through the woods, his eyes catch something on the white snow-covered ground. He walks closer and sees a small puddle of red. He kneels and realizes that it's blood. He then spots another speck of blood and another, and it stretches forth ahead of him, forming a trail of crimson drops.
Harry is taken aback by what he sees. He stares at the path leading to his cottage and at the trail of blood. He decides to follow it to its destination, his heart pounding in his chest as he moves deeper into the woods. The trail of blood seems endless, and he wonders what could have caused it. Nonetheless, he remains determined to find out and continues to follow the trail.
He continued to follow and the trail stopped at the side of the snow-covered tree and the boy began hearing sounds of snarls and growls coming from the side of the tree. Harry stilled his movements in fear, but he investigated more, he pulled out his dagger as his only protection walked slowly to the tree, and gasped at the sight of the owner of the bloody path on the snow.
It was a wolf, but this wolf was bigger and had more pitch-blackness fur as Harry quietly snuck closer, he saw the eyes that were as red as blood and they showed anger and pain seeing it trying to nurse its wound licking it where the blood was dripping from on its shoulder near the neck.
Harry makes a worried expression as he walks to the wolf slowly, then stops his movements as the wolf abruptly turns its canine head and bloody eyes at him and growls menacingly at him ready to attack. Harry slowly raised his hands in the air showing no harm to the wolf, and smiled gently. "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you", he said.
The wolf growled with its red eyes burning at him.
"You are hurt, let me help you", he said in a kind voice.
The wolf being careful with its wound slowly stepped out of the shadows growling louder at him.
"Please, let me help you. You are hurt and bleeding. I can help you, please let me help you", Harry said and the wolf only snarled louder at him seeing the boy walk slowly and closer to it.
The wolf snapped its jaws at him, Harry yelped and landed on the snow seeing the onyx wolf sneering at him as it snarled and then made a pained whine staring at its injury.
Harry stood slowly up and walked to the wolf hearing it snarled again. "It's all right. I promise I'm not going to hurt you. Let me help you. You are hurt. Badly, please let me make it better", Harry begged with a gentle smile and the wolf slowly stopped its threatening actions and only had its raging blood eyes burning through the boy.
"It's going to be all right. I am not going to harm you. I promise", he said with hands still up and closer to the wolf, but the wolf snapped its jaws at him making him jump and land again on the snow, the wolf made a growl of snickers with a sneer.
"Do not come any closer to me, human scum, or you will be my food instead of my failed appetite", the wolf warned with a deep raspy voice.
Harry made a stubborn, but polite face and stood up. "I can't just leave you here and bleed like this. Let me help you"
The wolf makes a threatening snarl with a whine from the burning pain of his wound. "I don't need your help, you filthy human, leave me alone or I will end your life right here", the wolf snarled again, fighting the pain of its wound.
Harry kneeled to the wolf seeing the wound with a hole where it was bleeding and reached out but he stopped hearing the wolf growling. "Don't you dare come any closer and touch me or I will end you right here and now, human, now leave me alone. Now!", the wolf spoke in a menacing snarl.
Harry then faced the wolf and crossed his arms making a more stubborn look. "If I did leave you here or eat me if you wish your wound would be festering and you'd surely die, this filthy human is here to try to help you and you look terrifying but I do believe you are losing energy, and strength due to this wound", he said and the wolf snarled and remain silent and not moving or even attacking at the boy.
Harry makes a small smile. "Do you trust me to help you?"
The wolf makes an angry snarl. "Do not help me. Go away or else", it threatened.
Harry stared at the injury and gently placed both his hands on the wolf's fur slowly, swallowing his fear as the wolf loudened its threatening growls.
His hands are gentle.
His fur is soft.
The wolf makes a louder snarl. "Do not touch or help me, human. Back away from me now", the wolf growled.
Harry smiled while scanning the wound gently running his hand on the wolf's fur as comfort while the wolf continued to order him to go away and not to help him making threats.
"You have been shot", Harry anxiously said, pulling out his dagger and the wolf made a snickering growl.
"So you are going to try to end me, are you? Such a wise choice", it smiled at him.
Harry stared at the injured wolf. "I believe I am not going to kill you like those you placed this bullet in you, the bullet is deep and I must try to take it out. Do you trust me?" He explained in a polite kind tone and the wolf growled and he smiled again.
Harry ignored the wolf's growl and stared at the bullet wound readying his knife, "I am going to assume that means you don't, but it appears you have no other choice but to trust me to get the bullet out", he gently poked the point in the wound hearing the wolf make a merge sound of a growl and a whine. "Here we go. This may hurt badly, so do brace yourself", he said and Harry slowly punctured the point of the knife deep into the wolf's flesh digging for the bullet while the wolf growled in all confusion, pain, and anger.
The wolf growled digging claws into the snow closing its eyes tightly from seeing the knife in its skin, seeing the bullet, and the human helping him. "You...stop...helping...me,...human...leave me...alone...help someone...else...don't need or want...your help. Show a bit of speed...and get the damn bloody thing out of...me already...human", the wolf impatiently growled feeling the knife digging into its body and finally touching the bullet as the pain slightly increased.
"Aha!" Harry explained. "Got it, now I'm going to pull it out. Don't worry it'll be over in seconds", Harry said gently with his fingers ready to grab the bullet until finally the knife popped the bullet out of the wolf and landed in his hands having his fingers soaked with blood. Smiling he set the bullet down on the snow and stared at the wolf, slowly but gently rubbing the fur. "There, now let's try to close it up", he gently smiled.
The wolf was getting angry. "That's enough! Unhand me and go away from my sight, human! Leave me alone! Now!" The wolf snapped and then flinched with a whine from the bleeding wound.
Harry makes a stern face with a grin. "You are very temperamental", he said and the wolf snarled once again. Harry ignored it as he scooped a handful of snow and gently placed it in the wound hearing the wolf snarl again out of pain and threats while he continued rubbing the snow on the wound gently, and scooped another bundle hearing the wolf continue growling and snarling.
"I'm warning you, human. I am going to kill you", the wolf snarled as it stared at the boy in astonishment and anger, the human continued to nurse his wound as he grabbed a cloth and gently pressed and patted the cloth on the wound.
Harry smiled at the wound seeing the blood slowly stopping and turned his eyes at the wolf who was still growling. "The wound doesn't look too bad, the snow has stopped the bleeding just try not to put any weight on the wound and it'll be better healed in no time", he said.
The wolf makes a very raged snarl with its burning eyes. "You shouldn't have helped me, human. I told you many times to leave me but you didn't heed my orders and you helped a creature, a monster, a predator that eats you and the rest of you humans, do you have any idea what you've done, human?" The wolf asked menacingly lurking to the boy being careful with its wound.
Harry remained calm holding his basket and putting his knife in the basket. "You were hurt. I couldn't just let you suffer and die from your injuries. You needed help", he answered.
The wolf growled with curled lips and eyes dilated. "You shouldn't helped me, human"
Harry remained calm as his eyes glued on the red eyes of the wolf. "Are you going to eat me?" He politely asked.
The wolf stared at the green eyes of the boy and snarled with a wide smile as it dilated its eyes making a frightening appearance. "No. I'll spare you, for now, human. Leave me or I will change my mind", the wolf threatened menacingly and it slowly stood walking away from Harry being cautious with its wound as it disappeared in the mist fog of the forest.
Harry sighed. "You're welcome", he said, he washed the blood from his hands and knife, took his basket in his hands, and began to walk home.
He walked and sighed ready for the punishments to happen, he entered the cabin seeing his uncle and aunt were waiting impatiently and Vernon stood from his chair and Harry made an inhale then was punched in the face dropping the basket.
"It's about time you come with my food!" He says aggressively grabbing the basket, then kicking the boy in the stomach.
"Disgusting disgrace little brat", Aunt Petunia said as she rose from her chair while her husband rampaged the basket for his food.
Petunia grabs Harry by the hair and smiles cruelly at her husband. "Should we leave him outside and freeze, dear?"
Vernon scarfing food he snickered. "No, take him to his timeout cabinet"
She snickered hearing the boy whimper as she dragged him by his hair and threw him in the cabinet slamming it shut and locking it. "Enjoy your time out, dear", she said cruelly patting the small cabinet door and walking away arguing with her husband about eating the food all by himself and not having the decency to share the food.
Harry cried being trapped and uncomfortably cramped in his cabinet compartment, he rubbed his bloody nose and hoped he would be out soon...and sneak for food soon as well if there were going to be leftovers.
