Thank you sakurademonalchemist for liking this story! Your story "Raptor" was a huge inspiration for this! Good luck with all of your awesome stories!

Though, I do admit some aspects of "It's not the Raptor DNA" inspired things in this story...mainly, Eris's "Swearing", "Oh chocolate frogs"...

This was taken from the Velociraptor "Blue" in that story...she loves Double-stuffed Oreos and swears by them..."Oh Oreo filling, had she stolen a kill from such a large predator?!"

Spinosaur

Cold Scales

So the meeting is set up for the day after Christmas, on the British timezone. I told Artemis the good news, and she's enjoying herself after hearing about another Spinosaurus following in her footsteps. I've made use of multiple warming charms across Artemis's body during the cold Michigan weather, and the eggs of the Irritator and Suchomimus hatched and just recently, familiar bonded to Jamie and Wes respectively. Still, those two dinosaurs will grow up as siblings with that married couple...though I am a little concerned for their children's names. While Jamie has named her Irritator daughter Athena, Wes named his Suchomimus daughter...Chomper.

But I digress. They are happy and growing strong quickly. With Artemis dissuading any notions of uprising, acting as a stern yet fair Aunt, they are proving to be possible species to include to Jurassic Park after opening.

Still, there were more incidents on Isla Sorna, Jurassic Park Site B Research Station. Asesino escaped from one paddock and managed to kill a juvenile Dilophosaurus, an adult Majungasaurus, Rugops, and our only Megaraptor before she was re-contained with loss of human life. She's currently figuring out where she fits on the food chain, and how strong she is. She's getting more dangerous, so we placed higher-voltage fencing along with thick steel bars around her territory; more precautions than used with our Tyrannosaurus Rexes! Good thing, the scent of her now terrifies most of our other Theropods.

With the successful familiar bonds in the Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, and Irritator, someone tried to imprint and familiar bond with a Velociraptor of all things! That...was a closed casket funeral...they couldn't keep his guts in his body...not after it marked him as prey. While it is true that our Velociraptors are pack hunters and very smart, they are also opportunistic and will take any advantage they can get to increase their rank in the pack.

These Velociraptors...they're getting smarter, more aggressive, and better at setting up traps. This is one of the times I curse Henry Wu's tendency to "play God"...He may say, along with InGen, that extinct animals have no rights, that InGen owns them...

But try telling that to a mouth full of razor sharp teeth with every intent on feasting on you for that thought.- Journal of Andrew Stormchaser. Wizard, former InGen employee, and bonded to Artemis the Spinosaurus.

The pack was on the loud mobile nest. Father was creating such a wonderful scratching sensation between my crests. Oh chocolate frogs and the one who made such a wonderful treat for a being on Earth, I could stay under his touch all day! There was a fight between Red-fluff pack's father and rival-prey's father earlier in a bookstore, and I had the displeasure of having father around red-fluff pack's youngest sibling, red-fluff stalker. At least I managed to take my frustration out by chasing away the thief-prey from the hidden passage.

I SAW how she viewed father, and she was not beneficial to the pack, especially since she couldn't even SPEAK around father!

The same bookstore had small-brained prancer taking father for pictures. I nearly bit off his hand for pulling him away from me. While father calmed me down, the trail of liquid running down his outer skin told me that he learned his lesson...I hope. Red-fluff pack seems to be distancing himself from the pack after I snarled at his sister. That is understandable, but something in her bag smells of death, and I don't want it, or her, near father. At this rate, red-fluff pack may become red-fluff glutton. Even in my short time around him, I didn't see him do anything very productive for the pack, and his appetite rivaled a starving tyrant-predator.

Not a good combination.

That's when I smelled it again...that human-animal mixed scent of old knowledge-giver coming from the rat in his hands...that scent, it made me upset with it around father.

Harry was startled when Eris started growling again, staring directly at Scabbers held in Ron's hand. "What's wrong Eris?" He asked, scratching between her crests. She gave a series of short cough-like roars and snarls. "Ron...how long have you had Scabbers?"

"About 11 years now...only things he does is eat and sleep, used to belong to my brother Percy." Ron answered as he kept a grip on his pet rat, "why do you ask?"

"Eris says he smells similar to Professor McGonagall...human and animal mixed together." Harry said, mentally thanking his deal with the Ravenclaws as he transfigured a paperclip into a birdcage. "We saw Professor McGonagall turn into a cat...I'm not going to risk it, please put Scabbers in the cage."

Ron glared at Harry as his grip tightened around Scabbers. "I'll buy you a new owl if you do." Harry said, and Ron glanced at Scabbers before putting him in the cage, which Harry shut and locked. Handing Ron a pile of galleons-enough to buy a barn owl with cage and treats, he watched as Ron stood up and left in a huff. Harry gazed at the door with a somewhat hurt expression, but Eris nudged his hand and rumbled soothingly.

"With Eris saying Scabbers smells like Professor McGonagall, it's likely he's an animagus." Hermione said, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You made the right call."

Eris growled as she smelled Draco Malfoy walk up the hallway, and a loud roar from Eris made Draco freeze just as he as going to open the door and he decided to move onto a different target. Harry watched the silhouette move on and gave Eris a piece of jerky to reward her. Eris snatched up the treat and quickly swallowed it, using her tongue to dislodge pieces that stuck to her teeth. A while later, Harry left to change into his school clothes in the bathroom as Eris followed him to the bathroom. After he did, he bumped into a couple of girls, quickly apologizing.

One girl had long black hair and icy blue eyes wearing a Slytherin robe, another was a young girl-about 11-with long blonde hair, wide gray eyes and radish earrings, and the last had brown eyes, red hair tied into a plait down her back, and Hufflepuff robes. Eris stared at the three girls before stepping forward. The redhead widened her eyes and only the hand of the black-haired girl on her shoulder kept her from running. The young blonde reached up and rubbed Eris's snout.

"An ancient finned hunter." She said as her eyes focused on Eris's eyes, "You've done a great job raising her, Harry Potter."

"She can be a handful, but I love Eris all the same." Harry said, as Eris let out a rumbling sound as he scratched by her sail, "Though you find me at a disadvantage. You know me, but I don't know any of you."

"I'm Luna. Luna Lovegood." Luna said, still stroking Eris's snout. The redhead reached up to touch Eris's snout and twitched when Eris exhaled through her nostrils over her hand before relaxing.

"S-Susan Bones." The redhead said, watching nervously as Eris took deep breaths, and Harry watched as she took in their scents. The one with black hair watched as Eris lifted her snout and moved her nostrils near her hair, taking in deep breaths. She remained as calm as she could as Eris clicked her jaws together a few times.

"Daphne Greengrass, Heiress of the Greengrass family. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, heir Potter." She said politely, icy eyes darting between Eris and Harry. Eris made a grumbling huff, and Harry turned at her as she repeated the sound.

"What do you mean ask them to join the pack?" Harry asked Eris, and she rumbled something and Harry took in the girl's expressions, "I'm terribly sorry, that's how she asks if she and I could be your friends." Daphne's eyes widened as Luna and Susan smiled.

"I...I'd be honored." Daphne uttered in surprise as the other two quickly sounded their agreements as Harry smiled and slunk into the bathroom and quickly changed.

"So why are you carrying Ron's pet rat in a cage?" Susan asked.

"Remember how Professor McGonagall changed from a cat into a human?" Harry asked, at Susan and Daphne's nods he continued, "To Eris she has a distinct smell, of an animal and human scent mixed together...Eris says that this rat has a very similar smell." At this Susan's eyes widened and she shouted something about 'contacting her auntie' and ran off. Luna did not look slightly perturbed by any of these events, just smiling serenely at the events going on. Harry saw movement from a window as an owl flew out a window heading back towards London. Susan soon came back panting and grasping her knees as she stopped running.

"Sorry...If that...is an...animagus...My...auntie...Amelia Bones...will want to check it out..." Susan panted, "She's the...head of the...Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Harry nodded and Eris let out a hiss-like coughing sound. "Good question, I don't usually see you two together around a first year, what brought you three together?"

"Malfoy starting bothering Heiress Lovegood here. We simply deterred him from continuing it." Daphne said, brushing a hand through her hair as Luna's wide eyes took in her surroundings.

"Luna...if you ever need help from bullies, you're my friend. you can talk to me." Harry said, as Eris let out a loud roar as she agreed with her father's statement, "I'll just head back to my compartment if you need me." Harry walked away from the three girls, not knowing how to remain in their company for any longer despite becoming friends with them. It was something he cursed the Dursleys for; his social awkwardness (along with his below average height from malnutrition), but Eris was opening new doors for him. He knew Ron would have had a fit over him befriending a Slytherin student, but Eris saw no problems with her; he thought. Though perhaps Eris wanted to keep a close eye on the Slytherin student.

Honestly, he was trusting the man-eating carnivore more than other humans who he knew wanted him dead or to use his fame to better themselves.

A couple of hours later Harry was standing by a carriage with an Adolescent sized Eris with his trunks taken ahead with the others with Hermione standing next to him staring at black skeletal horses with bat-like wings hooked to the carriages. "Threstrals." Hermione breathed out, "Creatures only visible to people who have seen someone dying and fully accepted, understood and internalized the concept." Eris leaned down and sniffed at the threstral and it let out a shriek-like call. Eris let out a hiss-like roar in response. The two carnivorous creatures kept eye contact for a few minutes until the threstral shook it's head and lowered it, submitting to the larger predator as Eris snorted in approval. "Of course Eris would be able to see them, she's a predator! She kills for food!"

Eris walked alongside them as they rode in the threstral-pulled carriage with Neville and Luna with Ron riding with Dean, Seamus, and Fay Dunbar. Eris would growl at the birds flying overhead, and would snap her jaws together in satisfaction as they flew away from Harry.

Red-Fluff who met with father after I hatched was at the doors of cold nest. There were others wearing strange outer clothing as well as father handed over that aggravating-smelling rat. She took it out of the cage, hit it with a light that made it stay still, and then waved her wand and the rat changed into a rat-looking human. I heard the name "Peter Pettigrew", but thought nothing of it.

A human hiding his form near father was bad news; I learned that much from the fowl-smelling knowledge-giver last year.

As she put metal hand-restraints and chains on the rat-man, she waved her wand again and a ratty black book flew out of red-fluff stalker's pocket and she looked very confused as a man hiding himself in black-outer skins started waving his wand over it repeatedly. As they carried the rat-man and black book away, I grew bored with the talks of the humans around me and nudged father away towards the castle.

Once inside, I enjoyed the looks of fear, shock, and awe from the adults at their own table at my size. If they were scared of my size now, they should see me when I grew up! But...to my annoyance, small-brained prancer was at the adult table. It seems like another year I was going to remain by father's side constantly instead of being able to pull in water-prey for the pack. Not paying attention as more kids were divided between tables by a hat, I looked up hearing the name of dreaming-pack and watched as she sat across brown-fluff green-worker near father. As I shrunk to fit in the table, father gave me a pule of pink-meat and water-prey. I really enjoyed the taste of the water-prey, and how bones would crunch between my teeth. Dreaming-pack, brown-fluff pack, and father would make a laugh or giggle as I made sounds of contentment after swallowing a water-prey. The adult knowledge-givers looked slightly uncomfortable seeing my teeth spear into water prey as I ate.

Days passed into weeks and then into months before I saw Red-Fluff again. Upon seeing her, I returned to my larger side just in case she tried taking me away from father. She was with another man that smelled like animal-human. I almost growled at him before I heard something...

This was a part of father's family, locked away after he lost his parents. The snarl in my throat died as I heard that. Whoever this "Sirius Black" was, I would keep my eyes on him. I opened my mouth to display threateningly as he placed his hands on my snout as I took in his scent. Then...he thanked me for taking care of father. My mouth snapped shut and I watched as a happiness returned to his eyes seeing father. He was thin, thinner than father, but wherever he was held did not deter whatever family affections he had with father...and now he was showing me the same affection as he gently stroked my snout.

Then Red-Fluff talked to father again...some group called "Unspeakables" looked into the black book and found things like it. One was in that bank with the pointy-eared fighters. Another was locked away in dark-haired pack's family home. Father's scar had almost faded completely, and there was residue that something similar had been in it, but rejoined the snake-ghost when it attacked father. Other things like it had been detected, but were hidden from them for now.

Whoever Voldemort was, I would kill him and feast on his flesh for hurting father. It was then they had discovered something from the book, posing as a follower of Voldemort, they found directions to a dangerous beast and people would be going there soon. It was then red-fluff asked father for me to help them. I snarled at her.

I was not going away from father!

Only when she said father and dark-haired pack could come along, did I stop snarling.

Enter Jurassic Park: The Lost World Soundtrack 04- The Hunt

Harry stood with a group of Unspeakables, a few Goblin warriors who were very angry about an object similar to the book stored in their bank, and Aurors with his Godfather Sirius (who was making jokes about the hiding place of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets that made Harry snort in amusement) and Eris, they watched a Goblin hissed what sounded like open to Harry and a sink lowered into the floor and a couple aurors and goblins went into the dark pipe. There was some kind of enchanted object they were talking through, and Harry listened intently. There was a shed skin, at least 20 feet long (1) and piles of bones at the other end. There was a wall with two snakes entwined with emerald eyes that the goblin had to speak Parseltounge, which apparently was the name of the language of snake talking, before entering.

Eris rumbled anxiously, taking deep breaths to try and catch the scent of anything new while shifting her weight every once in a while. Then someone shouted that the "basilisk's" eyes were now gone, but it was escaping. Then Eris started growling, crouching down as she hovered over Harry and an acid green snake with multiple fangs within it's mouth with bleeding eye sockets. The snake hissed before people and goblins started shooting spells and weapons into it's mouth. The snake reared back and darted forward, biting into a man before swallowing him while slithering out of the pipe. It was certainly big enough to wrap around Eris as people, goblins, and dinosaur moved aside from another strike and Eris turned and bit into the top of the body just behind it's head.

The snake shook wildly as Eris tightened her grip, turning and bursting the door apart as she tossed the gigantic snake into the hallway, knocking down suits of armor and portraits along the wall; the people in the portraits scrambling into others as the ones in the hallway soon became empty. Screams rang out as students heading to classes or dorm rooms saw the gigantic snake. Harry ran out following Eris as she roared a challenge to the large snake and the onslaught by the strike force continued; a few weapons from the goblins hitting lucky marks and digging in between scales. The snake hissed back and reared up. It swung it's tail, knocking Eris in the head and causing her to stumble back into the wall. The snake lunged at her, and Eris lowered herself. She narrowly avoided the fangs, but the basilisk swung its head and hit her swinging it's head to the side and made her stumble back. It reared back and hissed threateningly.

"H-Hey!" A voice shouted, and the snake turned to towards Neville, wand shaking, pointing the wand at the basilisk. It lunged forward as Nevile dove, dropping the wand which the snake snapped as it slammed into the wall near where Neville fell to. Eris took the advantage given to her and bit back down on the basilisk's neck, reaching up and digging into it's flesh with her claws as she felt around muscles and bones.

"Eris! Twist it!" Harry yelled as he fired piercing curses at the basilisk's eye socket with Sirius. Eris growled and tilted forward with her body and hands as the body of the basilisk flailed wildly until it turned a little to far against Eris's pressure and there was a loud SNAP and the basilisk stilled and then dropped to the ground with a loud thud echoing through the hallway when Eris dropped it as teachers moved to the hallway with the panicking students. Eris crouched over the body and gave out a loud roar sounding similar to something growling mixed with it. Harry recognized it as a call of a successful kill. She snapped her head forward, biting into the body and ripping a piece of flesh off the snake an offering it to Harry. Not wanting Eris to get upset, he accepted it with a pleased rumble from her as blood covered his hands and other students turned green at the sight; a few losing their stomach contents. Eris then took another piece and offered it to Sirius much to Harry's amusement as he turned green and pale at the same time. Neville paid no attention, in tears over the remains of the wand he held.

Eris then stripped another piece of flesh and swallowed it, taking in a few more before one of the goblins stepped forward and asked Harry for the remains of the body for a couple million galleons. Eris heard this and took a step back with her snout bloody as she rumbled her consent, pressing her snout against Harry's cheek. "Pup" Sirius whispered in Harry's ear, "The reason he's even offering is because the goblins consider basilisk meat a delicacy, they like using bones and venom for their weapons, and they can make more than that amount of galleons back by selling the scales, venom, and fangs to fashion and potion industries."

"You know I'm going to need to shower to get this off now, right Eris?" Harry asked to Eris's amused rumbling before giving his approval to the goblin at the deal.

It was the best time skipping from Defense Against the Dark Arts Class ever spent; especially since Lockhart was teaching.

When we got to the rectangular nests later that evening, I motioned to brown-fluff and tried conveying my thanks to him. Father had cleaned himself of the snake's blood before washing dirt and blood off me later on in what he called a "swim suit". He seemed to understand the gist of my thanks. He was in better mood himself, having left cold nest with a family member to get a new wand he was proudly holding.

It was then I asked father for him to become brown-fluff pack. He seemed eager to join when father translated my offer, and I couldn't help but rumble in joy as he accepted my offer. Our pack was growing stronger with each member, and I had noticed brown-fluff pack's huge improvement with the new wand. Dreaming-pack often hung around him; and brown-fluff pack often helped her with her green-work. I wondered if brown-fluff pack and dreaming-pack were going to be mates in the future.

With the take down of the giant snake, father and I got a new perk; hunting in the forest by the cold nest, when accompanied by Large One. There wasn't much in there to hunt though. the human-horses were off-limits and their weapons with their numbers didn't make me want to fight them and disappoint father at the same time. The death-horses we had an understanding with. Father respected them and they were gentle with him. That put them off the menu for now.

However, the giant multi-legs were great. Not as much meat as I would like, but I enjoyed battling and killing them. There was something about prey that was more satisfying to eat after you hunted and killed them. Large One didn't protest as long as I kept away from the largest one known as Aragog. It was fun with father's help, and I liked pinning them down with a foot as Father struck them with multiple spells until I could reach down and tear into the giant multi-legs. The deal with the blue-trimmed outer skins was in full swing, and his power was growing.

I knew I loved father, and he also loved me, and I cherished the affection he gave me. Red-fluff pack was distant, but obviously shaken by the fact rat-man was hiding in his presence. Rival-prey had bragged a little too loudly, and the wizard enforcers had found illegal stuff at his parent's houses. When it started coming to light that they may be involved in the black book coming to school, they quickly paid a fine and...gave up thief-prey to father's ownership in order to avoid more serious punishment.

This "Dobby" was...odd to put it lightly. He didn't want to work with old masters, but didn't want to leave father, who he called "the Great Harry Potter sir". Of course I was the "great and mighty ancient finned-hunter". In the end, from what could figure out from hearing him talk to father, his thieving was done to protect father since he overheard something about the black book. I could respect that. He was now small-eccentric helper.

Fluffy-Beta nearly threw a fit hearing about small-eccentric helper staying with father, but he talked to her about some bond with father and she eventually relented. She was still going to find ways to help his species from being mistreated, which we could all agree on.

Instincts told me how the pack hunters would tear at each other for dominance, and I honestly wondered why. Father gave me more than enough freedoms and privileges when working with him. Father told me about that eccentric cane-walker, how he was responsible for me being born since our species had gone extinct many many years ago.

He was no father, but I could allow him to be father of father, for father's sake.

Father told me about islands where he was bringing more species back; the tyrant-hunters, the pack-hunters, three-horned prey, long-necked prey, and spike-tail prey to name a few. He told me that the day after a winter celebration known as Christmas, we would be going with fluffy-beta, brown-fluff pack, and dark-fluff pack to the second island where research to care for us ancient species was done...and that we would meet another Spinosaurus called Artemis on the island; the one that taught me on that screen how to control my size. I eagerly awaited that, as I would meet another one who cared for a human.

Just a few months now...
