A Grimm ate my homework

"About time Potter" Minerva said, still facing the board, the enchanted chalk scrawling notes for the Transfiguration lesson. "Place your homework on the pile and take you seat."

"Sorry professor McGonagall I can't" Harry replied softly. After a tenuous pause his voice continued "A Grimm ate it" Draco laughed "A Grimm ate my homework" he parroted, imitating Harry's trembling voice. A look of distain crossing his face as he turns to Blaize "Tosser" he says.

"A Grimm?" Minerva said, scoffing "That is a terrible excuse Harry, 5 points from Gryffindor. Really, why would a Grimm eat your homework?" She asked, turning to face the tardy student.

Harry sways slightly in the doorway, his eyes sunken, and his skin pale. Harry stumbles forward, a large tear opening his robes wide from his left shoulder, the arm below hanging limp. A trail of black dots travel down the hallway, a small pool gathered where he stood in the doorway. "Good heavens" gasps Minerva, hand coming to her mouth. Hermione looks questioningly at the teacher, note taking temporarily forgotten "Harry?" she asks softly, turning towards the door. She gasps at the sight.

Harry lists to the side as he leans towards the hall, the tatters of his robe part to show deep gashes across his shoulder, dripping with black liquid. "It was running after some little blond girl in a green scarf" he says, slumping against the doorframe "I cursed it, but it turned on me" he said. "Nearly took my arm off" Harry's voice rises into a delirious laugh as he falls to the floor.

"Harry?" Hermione gasps, out of her chair she runs to his side "Harry!" she yells. Minerva is next to her in an instant. "Class dismissed. No one is to go outside, the campus is on lockdown" she says curtly. She turns "Get to your dormitories; tell any student you see to follow you." She scans the classroom, "Go. Now!"

The professor pulls several paper spheres out of her robe, she tosses one into the air, it bursts into the shape of a whippoorwill. "Get the Headmaster, now" she says, the small bird zips out the window. "Professor?" Hermione says tentatively. The professor tosses another sphere into the air, it transforms into a small yearling. "I need Hagrid here" she says curtly, the second bird zips out the window. "Hagrid?" Hermione says, confused. Professor McGonagall tosses a third sphere into the air, it transforms into the form of a small raven. "Bring Severus" she says to it "Have him bring his potions bag" she adds as it lifts into the air. "Severus?" Hermione says, "Professor Snape? Potions?" Hermione turns to the professor "What is going on? What is that black liquid?" Minerva sighs, turning to her student "Calm yourself child" she says, "Whatever attacked Potter was most definitely not a Grimm." She leans forward, examining black liquid, her wand tip glowing lightly. She pulls back "Its blood" she says, "It's Mr. Potter's blood" Hermione looks to her professor with trepidation "Why is it black?"


Author's Note: So this is completely unlike my other story, this was prompted when I read an interview with Daniel Radcliffe where he mentioned that he did actually have his homework eaten by a dog one time in school while filming Harry Potter. I can't say for certain if I will add more to this or not, it may just be a one shot
