Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter or anything officially related to it.

A/N: Well, this story has gone farther than I imagined it would. I suppose that's good thought, right?

Anyway, I haven't gotten any emails or reviews about what you would like to have happen, whether this is to be cross-over story or not and I would really like if you could give me some ideas, if not it'll probably just stay HP.

Warnings: Nothing really so far, but will be SLASH later on, so if you don't like two guys making out than you'd better leave.

Spoilers: HP/SS – HP/CoS – HP/PoA – HP/GoF – HP/OotP maybe in future chapters.

No pairing as of yet.

Chapter Five: Oh, God Not Another Fluffy
Passing through the mist, through the time portal, Harry looked at the big man standing next to him, whom was whistling a happy sounding tune.

'Is this really the Godric Gryffindor?' He thought skeptically. 'He's so . . .so . . . childish and un-Gryffindorish. Wait, that's not even a real word. He's un-heroic like. There that's a little bit better. He looks the way I expected him to, but the attitude -- he's like Ron. Funny, goofy, and kind of out of it.'

"Why are you grinning?" Gryffindor asked curiously, yet with a slight suspicious tone in his voice.

Harry pulled an innocent face. "Nothin', sir. Honest." Harry added when the man frowned, uncertain of Harry's words.

"Alright, whatever you say." Godric finally said. "Besides we're here."

'Here', Harry soon found out was a giant castle. He blinked and his mouth gaped. It was Hogwarts.

But then he thought 'Well duh! Where else would we be going? Disney Land? Perhaps this was a plan of Voldemort's and I was on a one-way trip to Hell? Che, yeah right!' Harry was knocked from his thoughts when the mist suddenly dissipated and he and Godric were left standing just out front of the main gate of the school.

"Come on then, kid, there are people I want you to meet."

Harry gazed around at the Hogwart's ground and noticed some, but not very many, changes from his time and this one.

For one there was no Whomping Willow and Hagrid's cabin seemed to be in much nicer shape. And another difference, and the one that pained him the most, was the Quidditch pitch wasn't there, for the game had yet to be invented. Other than that everything was very familiar to Harry. The lake, the Forbidden forest, the giant three-headed dog, the . . . wait . . .WHAT!

Harry blinked and rubbed to his eyes behind his glasses, but the image didn't waver. Sure enough, sitting proudly outside the main entrance to Hogwarts was a huge three-headed canine. Harry stopped dead, remembering his encounter with a monster that was eerily similar to this one. Fluffy. He shivered. Just the name alone made him shudder in terror.

"You okay, Harry?" Godric asked concerned when he saw his charge wasn't beside him anymore. "You look kinda pale."

"Fluffy." Harry mumbled and glared darkly at the dog.

Godric got a puzzled expression on his face. "Come again?"

"It's nothing." The boy replied. "Just thinking of something that happened a long time ago." Pause. "Actually, " Harry amended hesitantly. "It technically hasn't happened but you know what I mean."

Judging by the look Godric was giving him he clearly thought Harry was insane. But he nodded his head anyway. "Yeah, okay, whatever. Come on."

Harry started following Godric again. "What is up with the dog?" He asked quietly as they drew closer to it.

Godric grinned broadly. "Isn't he beautiful? His name is Alucard and he's my pride and joy."

'So, a mix between Ron and Hagrid. Oh dear lord, please let me survive this. '

"Alucard? Nice name." Harry said weakly. "There's no particular reason you named him that is there?"

"Uh . . . Well, -- heh, -- Wait until you meet the rest of us! They're just going to love you!" Godric patted his head and avoided looking him in the eye.

Harry sighed. Great, another dog who probably think he look like a snack to go with afternoon tea.

'Of course Fluffy did bite Snape, so he couldn't have been as terrible as he seemed, right? But then again he would have bitten Ron, Hermione, or me without a second thought. --- Probably best if I don't think about it too hard. '

They were so close to Alucard now that Harry could here the dog's breathing. With them being so near the dog had stood up and was, Harry was glad to see, wagging its tail, apparently extremely excited to see Godric.

"Awww, Hav vou been a good boy?" Godric cooed like he was speaking to a baby. Alucard's happy barks made the ground shake. "Oh, good boy, such a good boy." Godric smiled as the dog nearly knocked him over by licking his face. "Yes, yes, I wuv you too!"

Harry just stood there as the weird display went on. He can honestly say he never imagined Godric Gryffindor to act like this. He was worse than Hagrid was when he had Norbert.

Suddenly a loud growl broke through the laughter and Harry looked up. Standing right in front of him, saliva dripping from its fangs, was Alucard, his reddish-brown eyes glaring at him.

Harry sweat-dropped and took a step back. "Nice doggie. Good doggie doesn't want to eat me; I'm all skin and bones. See? No meat at all."

"Alucard, no!" Godric said sharply and the dog immediately backed off. "Alucard, I'd like you to meet Harry. Harry is guest of mine and I would be seriously displeased if he ended up like the others."

"Others?" Harry echoed faintly. "What others? What happened to them?"

"Ha, ha, ha," Godric rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Others? Did I say others? What I meant was . . . um – well, it's like this – ha, ha," Godric was slowly stepping backward towards the Hogwarts front doors.

"Yes?"

"Well, you see – it's a rather long story and we got things to do, people to see, so I'll tell you later."

Harry stared at the sweating man, nervously wiping his forehead. 'This has been the oddest thing that has ever happened to me. '

Fortunately for Godric, the doors he was standing in front of swung open, saving him from having to continue his stuttering. Harry, on the other hand, nearly had heart attack at who he saw standing behind the doors.

"So, Godric, is this the fresh meat?"

Sucks, yes? Oh well, I'll try harder next chapter. And the only way to get to the next chapter is through motivation via reviews!

Thanks to all who reviewed and please if you have any ideas I'm all ears!
