Chapter 1

The Wolf Under the Bed


In a small back room of 4-Private Drive, Harry Potter woke on the hard mattress that laid upon an old wooden frame of a bed. He pushed the old blanket to the side and woke into the silence, he reached to the small bedside table and picked up his glasses. He placed the broken pair upon his face and got out of the bed. He walked to the small trunk at the end of the bed, he only had a few clothes so there was no need for a wardrobe. He picked out the best clothes he had, a blue shirt, jacket and jeans, he slipped some trainers onto his feet. He was about to shut the trunk when he saw his Hogwarts uniform laying neatly in the corner, he sighed, it had only been a few days but he already missed the school.

He looked into the old cracked mirror that stood in one corner, Harry sighed, 'Happy Birthday Harry'. He looked to the time, it was still early, there was plenty of time before the Dursley's would wake from their nests, maybe he could do some studying.

He walked to smaller trunk and pulled out a book, 'Animagus' was written on the front, he smiled, he wondered what his Animagus was. They had learnt the beginnings at school, but had not preformed the transformation yet, would it cause any harm if he tried it now.

So, ignoring the fact that students were not allowed to preform magic outside of school till the age of 17, he opened the book to the relevant page. He faced the mirror and concentrated, his eyes shut he focused all his might on the task.

Minutes passed and he felt nothing. Well that was a waste of time, Harry thought to himself. He jumped as he saw his reflection. Instead of a teenage boy, in its place stood a small wolf about the size a wolf pup would be at four months old. He studied the new features, four paws armed with razor sharp claws, two ears that were too large for his body, a muzzle tipped with a wet black nose, teeth as sharp as needles. His eyes were emerald green and they twinkled in the light, he turned his head to the right to look behind himself, he had a bushy black tail, as he turned his head back to the mirror he noticed something under his left ear, it was a silver lightning bolt, exactly like the scar.

Suddenly, there was a long 'BANG' downstairs, his noticed his wolf ears twitch towards the sound. He wondered maybe if something had fallen off a ledge, and that his wolf hearing had just made it seem louder, but when he heard Vernon storm out of his room and down the stairs like an enraged Elephant, he knew something wasn't right.

"Where's Potter!?" A voice demanded, Potter immediately recognised the voice, it was Voldemort.

"Boy!" Vernon shouted up the stairs. 'Ok, time to change back' though harry. He concentrated as he had done before, closed his eyes, but when his re-opened them he still found the wolf pup staring back at him in the mirror. Harry cursed himself. Why had he been so stupid? The first time someone transformed it was highly likely that they would not be able to transform back themselves without some help.

He heard Vernon shout something then heard footsteps coming up the stairs, but these were much lighter, they were not his uncle's. Then he heard Petunia scream, this had caused Dudley to come out of hibernation, but as soon as he heard his cousin's door open it slammed back shut. He could see Dudley cursing him under his breath for being woke up mid morning by a snake man, who wasn't wearing shoes.

Harry panicked, he went straight for the closest and only hiding place.


Voldemort barged past Harry's uncle and advanced up the stairs, at the top he was confronted by a screaming woman. Then as he waked further down the hall a door opened and a fat boy walked out, he looked at Voldemort's face for a few moments when the Dark Lord had stopped, then glanced down at his feet then sighed and walked back into his room. Voldemort was a little stunned at the fact that the boy did not do anything else bout the matter of there being a snake like man in the house, was this usual or was it just with Harry living there he had come to accept anything?

Voldemort carried on down the landing to the final door, it did not open, but he could sense that Potter was close, he could sense his magic, he was strong. Using magic, he opened the door, he expected to see Harry there his wand pointed out at him, ready for a fight, but there was nobody there.

He lowered his wand in disappointment, but something confused him, he could sense the boy's aura even stronger here, Harry was still here. Like a snake, he crept round the room silent and alert to anything, the boy could be using a spell to make himself invisible, even though the boy was not yet old enough to preform magic outside of Hogwarts, he knew that this would be an exception for that rule, but as he moved round he couldn't sense anything.

The Dark Lord came to the bed, he could feel the boy strongly here, he sighed as he looked down. He knew where Potter was hiding. He knelt down and looked under the bed into the darkness, there was no boy, but instead two green eyes looking straight at him. He reached in and grabbed the creature by the scruff of the neck and pulled it out causing the animal to yelp in pain.

Once out, Voldemort studied the creature as he put it on the bed, it was a wolf, a black wolf, it was young, still only a young pup, but not tiny, no just big enough so it wasn't too dependant on others. He reached down to stroke it's head, when it bit him. He looked to his hand which now had two puncture wounds that were seeping blood, the retched thing had bitten him. He pulled out his wand, he was about to deliver the spell when he noticed something under the pup's left ear, a silver lightning bolt, just like... this wolf pup was Harry Potter.

The Dark Lord smiled at his luck, the boy had transformed but had not been able to turn back, he gave a small chuckle which caused the wolf to bark. This I could get used to. As much as he knew that this would amuse him, the boy wouldn't be able to speak, even though it had its advantages it also had his down falls. He thought for a moment, whilst Harry tried to run off the bed and out through the open door, he even got off the bed before Voldemort had stopped him, but just in case he shut the door and locked it so non of the muggles could get in and Harry couldn't get out.

The Dark Lord pondered over if he could keep Harry in this form and still give the boy the ability to talk, he though back into his memory, then he found a spell that he invented that could do just that. He cast the spell and the little pup stopped barking and started talking. "What do you want with me Voldemort?"

"Nothing, I already have what I want with you and that is for you to be my prisoner, but in time I will train you to become something more." Voldemort stated.

"If your implying that you want me to become one of your Death Eaters, then you can go to hell."

"Ah Harry, I did want you to become one of my loyal followers but as you are, you could not be a Death Eater."

"Then why don't you turn me back?" Snapped harry, the little white fangs showing.

"Because you are far more amusing like this, and now I have new plans for you." He waved his wand and a pet cage appeared on the bed next to Harry, the door wide open, "In" He commanded.

Harry looked from the age to Voldemort then back, then back to the Dark Lord, "You're joking right, I'm not getting in that thing, it's meant for Pet's and I am most defiantly not a pet, especially not yours" Harry protested.

"That's where you are wrong potter you are my 'Pet' now and forever." With that he grabbed the wolf pup and shoved him into the cage, the wolf pup yelping as he tried to turn to defend itself. He locked the door using a spell and picked up the cage and left the room.

He walked downstairs to see Harry's Uncle and Aunt stare at the crate with the wolf inside, but said nothing for they were glad to get rid of the boy.

The Dark Lord and Potter left, when in the garden they were surrounded by Death Eaters, then suddenly the air came to life and they vanished leaving Private-Driver once again private and wizard free.


Harry and Voldemort arrived in the dining room of Voldemort's mansion at a secret location. Harry turned around in the cage to get a better view of the lavish room. The dining table stretched down nearly the whole length of the room, it itself was made from mahogany wood, each chair, which was well over fifty, was also made out of the same wood with luxurious green leather cushions. Upon the table was fine silver ware, upon the walls were large magic paintings, which were spread in between the large and tall windows.

Voldemort turned to his Death Eaters who had gathered around him, "Lucius?" He called out and a long white haired man stepped forward.

"Yes my Lord?"

"Get my new 'pet' here a collar and leash, make sure they are of high quality."

"Yes my Lord, any suggestions."

"Only that it to be made from snake skin," He replied before hastily adding, "Oh and make it green and silver, we all know how much Potter here dislikes them colours."

"Yes my Lord, I shall have them to you later this evening." Lucius said, looking down at the wolf pup in the cage, before turning and walking out of the door. Voldemort dismissed the rest of his followers and returned to his chambers with the cage levitating behind him. They came to a large oak door, it opened before them, and they walked through.

They were greeted by a large sitting room, with a large book case and open fire, two green leather chairs. From there was four other doors, kitchen, dinning room, bedroom, and bathroom. The Dark Lord, walked over to the leather chair, closest to the bookcase, and placed the cage down beside him. He picked out a book, sat down and began to read.


Harry sat in the cage and watched as the Dark Lord ignored him and continue reading his book. This puzzled the boy who lived, why would Voldemort go to so much effort to capture him, and when he finally did he just ignored him.

There was only one thing he could do, he laid down and went to sleep, for some reason he felt safe there beside the man who had murdered his parents, that back with the Dursley's, this sent a shiver down the wolf pup's spine.

What a happy birthday...
