A field about 4 miles from Little Whinging
The silence which engulfed the field and it's surroundings was unnatural even this far away from civilization.
The clouds obscured what little light the stars may have provided on this moonless summer night trapping the field and the sky above in total darkness. As such the sound of something cutting threw the air, as faint as it may have been, would have seemed impossibly loud and the slight light emitted by the blazing hot chunk of unearthly rock hurling towards the filed as bright as the sun had there been anyone to observe it.
But as there was no-one around for miles even when the meteorite crashed in to the ground, tearing open a crater several times larger than itself causing a deafening boom, it would take several days before anybody would know what had occurred.
So no-one would learn of the goo like like creature that crawled out of the space rock and disappeared in-between what remained of the fields vegetation.
Privet Drive 4, Little Whinging
It was the last day before summer holidays and for the first time in longer than he cared to remember the 8 year old child that is Harry Potter was excited. Not because of the holidays, to him holidays only ment more chores and more insult from his relatives.
No Harry was excited because for the first time since he started going to School they couldn't keep him from going with the rest of his class on the school trip that had been planned for the last day of School.
In the past they had made up lies to prevent him from attending and had Mrs Figg, a somewhat unpleasant and incredibly boring old woman that lives near them, watch him.
But a few days ago she had caught a bad cause of the flu and couldn't babysit him. That his cousin Dudley had a dentist appointment for this morning ment that Harry wouldn't have to worry about being bullied during the trip only added to his excitement.
The fact that he hadn't been allowed to eat anything since lunch the day before and that his relatives had "forgotten" to pack him a lunch package, like the letter they had received from the school in regards to the trip had told them to, did nothing to dampen his mood. Neither could his uncle Vernon's promises of punishment should he do anything "freakish" during the trip as he was roughly pushed out the door take the skip out of his step.
With his ugly and worn-out school back filled only with two pencils, a few pages of empty paper and a spare set of his hand-me-down clothes firmly secured on his back he all but ran the nearly one and a half miles to School.
Half a mile from Little Whinging
It didn't know how much time had past since it had arrived on this planet and lost its connection to "The Greater Whole" but if it couldn't find a compatible host soon it would die.
It didn't want to die.
So when it heard sounds, that only creatures significantly larger than the small bugs it had encountered so far could produce, it moved its goo like body towards them.
With the amount of noise the creatures made finding them wasn't a challenge for it but now it had a new problem there were about twenty-six of them.
Two bigger ones, adults it presumed, and twenty-four smaller ones all moving in a tight group.
With the curiously wandering gaze of the smaller ones getting close enough to find a host even a temporary one undetected would be all but impossible.
Unwilling to give up so quickly it continued to follow and observe the group its green color provided more than enough camouflage.
About half an hour later its persistence bore Fruits. The group had decided to stop at the edge of a small meadow close to its hiding spot.
The Smaller Creatures dropped what appeared to be some kind of primitive storage device on the ground. Most of them dropped theres right next to each other but a few chose to do so in more secluded location before returning to the rest of the group.
Luckily for it one of the smaller creatures chose to drop its brown and worn-out device only a few feet from it.
Unwilling to let this opportunity pass it crawled towards the device mindful not to get spotted before hiding within it.
Now all that was left for it to do was wait.
