-3 days later-
Harry grumbled, "Sirius was wrong, this looks like it's gonna be 3 more days from here, which delays further within this storm. Well, at least, I got you, Hedwig, huh, girl?".
He was hiding inside a cave, with Hedwig, his snowy owl on his shoulder, huddled against his head for comfort, nipping his ear in agreement. Somehow, Hedwig found him, with a letter from his best friends Hermione and Ron two days ago. They were distraught, alright, after the potion incident, and was hoping desperately that Harry was alive to get this letter somehow as he had vanished before their eyes. Many people assumed that he was dead or incapacitated at the least.
He had found out from Sirius in his nightly chats on mirror-call that magic is weaker here, yet Harry was shocked that he is stronger than Sirius, which Sirius had a theory for. Harry's happy to cast the water spell, the fire spell, and able to eat fish and some unfortunate rabbits as he learned how to skin chicken and such at the Dursleys, and much more spells including his Patronus spell, which he was surprised to see that Prongs got bigger, much bigger.
He's now stuck, because of this thunderstorm. Luckily, Sirius and the family is secured safely in the barn at Clawtooth Mountain. He's nerved to hear such loud winds, dangerous sounds, and he swore he heard a scream or two. He reread the letter as he often did, causing the letter to be affectionately worn, reading under the lines, as surviving the wild out here has sharpened his mind for the better.
About two hours later, Harry and Hedwig was able to head out. Harry whistled in awe and shock as he saw the changes in the environment that the thunderstorm caused. He thought the blizzards and rainstorms back at Hogwarts was bad, but this, this put them to shame. A few minutes later, Hedwig was screeching furiously, calling to Harry, "Whoa, whoa, girl. What's wrong?". Hedwig gave out a distressed bark which Harry understood immediately, and ran to follow Hedwig, who's flying ahead.
He came upon a wrecked nest, and his eyes widened in horror as he beheld a most disturbing sight. A adult female Dilophosaurus was lying on its side, terrible injuries, enough to have her killed. Despite the leaves and everything covering her, she looked beautiful to Harry, having a silvery-gray pelt with a red-brown crest, and black claws, and her eyes was so still, faded, yet they looked like brown.
"Aw, shit. She must have thought the grove was safe, but the thunderstorm destroyed it, and more.". Harry sighed in thoughtful pain as he walked closer, and narrowing his eyes in curiousity when he thought he saw a shine of white, and gasped as he got closer, realizing that it was a egg, a live, warm egg as he touched it. It was half covered by its mother, she must have been protecting it from the worst of the storm Harry theorized, and Harry sighed, glanced at the egg, and grumbled, "Darn my people-saving thing. Hermione was right.".
Harry gently pulled the egg out under its mother's belly, realizing that it was barely the size of Hedwig in full size. "Well, kiddo, looks like you gonna be stuck with me. Don't worry, I'll take care of you, and Sirius too, once we get home to Clawtooth Mountain. I hope the folks doesn't mind taking in another stray.". He transfigured a branch into a backpack which he gently tucked the egg into, and replied in respect toward the deceased mother.
"Ma'am, I'll do my best to protect your kid. Girl or boy, I'll never care as long as the kid's healthy and safe. I only wish I knew what to call the kid when it hatches. I solemnly swear on my magic, for I am Harry James Potter.". Harry made a vow, which gave Harry a glow for a few seconds. Harry then smiled, and looked up at Hedwig who was resting upon a rock. "Well, girl, lead the way.". Hedwig screeched as she flew off, with Harry following her. This is totally a change of plans, but Harry couldn't help it.
