Chapter 2

Just as Harry started to enter the cave, a different scene was going on inside. Inside the cave were the three genetically altered raptors. The three of them were recuperating from their latest encounter with the Extreme Dinosaurs. Bad Rap was pacing around trying to figure out what went wrong and how he could blame it on the other two raptors. The other two were just biding it out since they knew what was going to happen. This type of situation had happened so many times before that it was expected.

"I don't understand how our plans keep on failing. Usually I would blame you two but even that won't help us find out how to finally succeed." Bad Rap said while still pacing.

"Normally I'd think that they have some way of finding out what we are doing but all the equipment is bug free. And as for spies, none of us would be smart enough to give information to the Extremely Annoying Dinosaurs." Spittor said.

"Yeah, none of us would be … hey are saying that I am dumb?" Haxx snapped back.

"Well, looks like he has brains there after all." Spittor said while chuckling.

Haxx glared at Spittor and was thinking about tackling him when they all heard a noise. It was sounds of footsteps. Haxx prepared his holo-blades, Spittor engaged his spit tank and Bad Rap went off the offense position (since his only weapon was destroyed.) They waited to see who or what it was. There was a chance that it was the Extreme Dinosaurs but it was also a chance that it was someone who got lost. They hoped that it wasn't that annoying scientist. A figure came closer. To their surprise, it looked like a small boy. He was wearing ragged clothing and looked underweight. All three raptors looked surprised and wondered what was going on.

Harry kept on walking further into the cave. He knew he should have stayed at the entrance but it was too hot to stay outside and it was cooler inside. Suddenly, he could hear voices. Strange, Harry thought, who would be inside this cave. Maybe they were taking refuge from the heat. Harry had finally reached where the voices were clearer when he saw who was talking. Harry rubbed his eyes. It looked like they were dinosaurs but they looked more human. But that couldn't be, Harry thought, Dinosaurs died out years ago. And the idea that they survive wasn't possible. Not to mention that nothing like this could happen. Petunia told him that nothing magical or whatever could happen.

As Harry took a closer look at these dinosaurs, they seemed more bizarre than he thought. The dinosaur, or raptor as Harry remembered from a TV program that Dudley was watching, was orange-striped and what looked like a metal brace attached to its mouth. The raptor in the middle was a pink colored raptor (which Harry kind of found odd) with what looked to be nozzles on the back of its wrists and a nozzle inside its mouth. That part Harry found odd which was still weirder that this raptor was pink. The raptor on the right side was mahogany-colored and it had these green blades attached to its wrists. They looked scary and so did its tail which was not flesh but some metallic tale. Harry didn't want to unnerve them in case they decided to attack him.

"Excuse me, mister raptors. I am sorry for disturbing you three. I just needed to get out of the heat for a while. I will leave as soon as I can." Harry said while trying not to be frightened.

"Why would you leave?" Bad Rap asked.

"Well, this must be your cave or home and I don't want to intrude." Harry said.

"You aren't intruding. We were wondering what you are doing here … " Spittor started to ask but Haxx interrupted him.

"What is with the clothes you are wearing?" Haxx asked with a look."

"Haxx!" Both Bad Rap and Spittor shouted.

"What, I was just asking a question." Haxx said.

"Yes, but we were trying to get him comfortable before that. We didn't want to unnerve him." Spittor said while crossing his arms.

"Yes, for the intelligence of a raptor, you have the brain the size of a walnut." Bad Rap said with a grin.

"Hey, that's not fair!" Haxx and Harry said at the same time.

"Huh?" Both Spittor and Bad Rap said while looking at the child.

"It isn't fair to insult someone. That isn't the right thing to do." Harry said while crossing his arms.

"We're sorry!" Both Bad Rap and Spittor said.

"That's alright. Say kid, what's your name?" Haxx asked.

"My name is Harry Potter." Harry said.

"Well, my name is Haxx. The one to my left is Bad Rap and the one to my right is Spittor." Haxx said.

Harry found this situation to be quiet interesting and so did the raptors. Harry first thought they were people in costumes but their skin or scales were too real to be costumes. Maybe if he did a few chores, he could stay with them until somebody rescued him. Though these three raptors looked like what closely resembled a family and Harry wanted to have that experience. The raptors looked at the boy oddly. The British accent reminded them of the prince that the Extreme Dinosaurs were allies with. The kid didn't seem that bad. Neither of them wanted to involve them in their schemes. It wouldn't be right. Maybe they could take care of him until somebody rescued him. Of course, they all agreed he needed fattening up and better clothes.

"Hey Harry, until someone rescues you, would you like to stay with us for a while?" Bad Rap asked.

"That would be great … if that is okay with you three. I promise to not cause any trouble and if you have any chores you need done, I'll do them." Harry said with a smile on his face.

"I don't think we have any 'chores needed to be done. Just we just need some companionship and you needed to be eating more." Bad Rap said.

"Yeah, who would to neglect to feed you?" Haxx asked.

This time neither Bad Rap nor Spittor told Haxx to be quiet since that they wanted to know the answer themselves. Harry didn't want to tell them because if Uncle Vernon found out, he would be punished. But these three raptors looked strong and powerful enough to take him on. Finding a rock to sit on, Harry decided to tell what he knew.

"Well, here is what I know. My parents died in a car crash and I was left with my mom's sister … " Harry started to tell his story.
