Snippit: The problem with being an artificial life form designed for mass destruction was that his creator hadn't really put down a deadline. Which meant that when all those he'd loved and cared for died, Stitch didn't have any reason to stay alive any more. Only, it seemed like he wasn't designed to die.
«Home»
Diagon Alley never stopped amazing him. Despite having spent the nearly every day the last three weeks exploring the vast network of streets and shops interconnected to the main shopping road for magical shops in London, it seemed like a new shop, or an entire new shopping street popped up every day. As such, he'd only briefly visited the pet shop in Diagon Alley, and only to buy owl treats to Hedwig.
It was the last day of summer vacation. September first, and he'd joined Ron and Hermoine as they went into the pet shop. Ron's rat, Scrabbers, hadn't taken too well to the weeks in Egypt and needed some sort of rat medicine, whilst Hermoine had been given money to buy a pet for her birthday.
Harry decided to just look at all the strange creatures. There were cats in all the colours of the rainbow, and more. Rats that used their tails as springs to bounce around. Ravens with two heads, and tiny hummingbird like birds with four, six and eight sets of wings. Despite looking like a square shop from the outside, it had a slight cross like inside, and Harry, eyes wide, walked down one of the arms.
The further he went, the stranger become the pets. And the less they seemed to care for his appearance. it took him around twenty minutes just to get to the end of the rows. His breath fogged slightly, and he shivered in the cool. He'd been about to follow the other row of weird animals, four clawed paws grabbed the bars of the ground cage.
Harry stared in amazed horror as the animal within, a light grey creature with antennas, three spikes on it's back,two legs, four arms and a face and body that looked like someone had successfully crossed a koala and a French bulldog.
It crawled slowly out of the hole it had made, and stood on all six for a a few moments, blinking sluggishly with its eyes, as if it wasn't used to the light, or was groggily uncertain of what had just happened. Then it's eyes focused on Harry, a light of intelligence entered its large black eyes. Its round nose twitched as it sniffed the air. It moved slowly towards him. Limbs heavy and a little clumsy. Like it hadn't used them in a long while.
A few steps away from Harry, the creature stopped abruptly. A tremble went through it. Second after second the trembling grew worse, until it was all but shaking like a dog. Dust flew off it in a large cloud. Harry coughed when it suddenly reached him. When the dust settled and Harry could breath freely, the creature had all but transformed. It's fur was cerulean blue, with darker blotches on its back in ultramarine.
If nothing else, the gruelling amount of hours Hermoine had forced him to study potions had taight him colour names. Joy.
The spines, the antennas and the lower set of its arms was gone. It stood stiffly, rabbit ears slowly moving upwards. Harry felt exhausted just looking. It took the ears a long while to be pointed at him. It's little stump tail waved slowly. Then the creature slowly stood up.
It stumbled forwards, and Harry crouched down to catch him. The animal was far heavier than his size would say, so Harry fell backwards on his rear. Before Harry could even get his head around it, the creature climbed up, until it's nose rested against Harry's throat. A hoarse and tired sound came from it. It took Harry a moment before he realised the tiny, old, blue creature had said something, in English.
"Home"
AN: There. I'll probably do some backstory to this one, at some point. What happended to Lilo, Yuna and everyone. As well as put down some notes on how Stitch came to be in a magical pet shop, covered in dust. And, if anyone want's it, how Harry slowly and carefully nursed Stitch back to health.
Maybe even throw in some cousins and how some of them are direct anchestors to some magical creatures.
Edit 060913: Hopefully, this'll actually do it. I've cleaned up some sentences and straighten out some words. I just hope stop being bitchy, as any clean up I've attempted previously haven't caught on. Really annoying.
