I don't own harry potter.

CHAPTER 1: Rescue

Harry shuffled back further into the cupboard and covered his face as his long hair tangled around his feet. Yelling and thrashing echoed through the door, filling the small male with fear and hope as another yelp was herd from Aunt Petunia.

"Where is he?" Came the low grumble of the stranger.

I'm here! I'm right here! Harry thought, tears falling down his face. If he wasn't found, he would get in trouble again and he didn't know how much more he could take.

Loud foot steps echoed closer to Harry's door and the small boy lifted his face in hope and despair. The door creaked open and light filled the damp room, hurting Harry's eyes and making him flinch back, curling into a ball while hiding his face in the old rag he wore.

"Harry?" Came a deep voice as a large man knelt in closer, reaching out a large arm towards the boy. Harry's large green eyes widened blinked before the boy straightened his back and held out his dirty hand.

"Are... you ta...taking me away?" Harry's voice was weak and the giant had to lean in to hear him.

"Ai. Ill be takin' you to ya new school. Sound fun?" The giant smiled kindly, kinder than any Harry had ever seen before and opened his arms in a welcoming manner. Harry nodded slowly before creeping forward and snuggling into the giants chest. He didn't know the man, didn't now many people at all really, but he gave off a warm feeling and Harry trusted him.

"Now you look here! That BOY is in OUR care and he is NOT LEAVING!" Vernon was red and sweaty, his fat face scrunched in a stretched growl.

"No, I AM takin' little Harry here. Now if you'll excuse me..." The giant picked up Harry gently and began to make his way to the door, pushing past Vernon like he was a doll on the floor and slamming the door behind him.

Slowly he made his way to a small motorbike before plonking himself onto the machine, making it creak slightly under the weight. Harry's grip on the giant tightened and he closed his eyes. He'd never been past the front door of his Aunt and Uncle's home and he felt very out of place doing so. The child herd a low grumbling before a cold breeze picked up his hair and made his legs tingle. Something in the boy's stomach churned and he opened his eyes, regretting it instantly as the motorbike the giant was riding had no solid ground beneath it, no ground at all in fact, rather the darkness of the night sky and cool grey clouds.

"Y'all right?" The giant hummed earning a small nod in return. "You can go to sleep If ya want. We got a bit of a way to go"

Harry nodded again slowly before closing his eyes. "Mister? Whats your name?" The boy yawned and snuggled closer to the giants chest.

"Hagrid, Rubeus Hagrid"

When Harry fell asleep on Hagrid, he didn't awake again until they were at the second volt at Gringots and when he did finally open his eyes it was to find himself in cloths that normal people where, bandaides on his cuts, hands clean, and legs bandaged. The boy gasped slightly, earning himself a worried stair from Hagrid.

"W...where are we...?" Harry looked up and down, now realizing he was seated in a strange mine cart with seats.

"Don't you worry Harry. Just getting some materials and you some money"

"Money?"

"To get your school books." Hagrid chuckled at the confused boy before stepping into the cart and sitting, closely followed by a small, strange looking creature.

"How do we know what to get?" Harry yawned, stretching his back slightly. Hagrid smiled before dipping his hand into one of his large pockets, pulling out a small piece of paper. Harry recognized it instantly as the paper that got him in trouble and the piece of paper that made him hope.

"List on the bottom, have a look?" Hagrid knelt close to Harry, handing him the paper carefully from where the boy began to quietly read aloud.

Ok, that's the first chapter. Thanks for reading!
