So…I don't know how popular this fic will be, just because of the crossover category…but hopefully those who read it will enjoy it! –Sora–

Harry glanced up at the five other passengers of the helicopter before looking back down at the dinosaur book the American ambassador for Britain had given him before he took off on the airplane. After Voldemort's defeat and Harry's forced return to the Dursley's, England soon found out about his treatment when he was accepted into the hospital with possible mortal injuries. His family history was discovered and as such the prime line case became even more well known.

After weeks of the news blaring out his touch and go health and the arrest and prompt trial of the three Dursleys, it finally started to settle down a bit. Reporters still hounded him, both in the Wizarding world, and now in the muggle world. That is, until the ambassador of the United States sent him an offer that seemed to be a perfect way to escape. As so, he found himself where he was now; on his way to see John Hammond's mysterious island.

Ignoring the people trying to make him join in the conversation, he continued to read his book on parsel magic, his wand tucked safely in his holster. "So Mr. Potter, why did the U.S. Ambassador ask a favor of me so you may come along?" Doctor Hammond asked, a cheerful grin still in place from when Harry had arrived at the airport. The attention of the four other adults was drawn to the petite teenager, who looked up again and raised his eyebrow.

"Visiting the park, what did you think?" He replied, smirking slightly at the frustrated look that passed over John's face before it disappeared again and he started to chatter on about the park again. He was tired, worn out and ready to sleep decently after the seven hour layover in New York.

The most recent landing in his history of landings on muggle flying vehicles was a bit rough, but nothing like riding a hippogriff, so he wasn't worried at all. Slipping out of the helicopter, he continued to follow the group to the cars, his book now packed away in his inner-extendable, feather-light charmed bag.

"Um…Alan…? Alan. This plant…it can't be here. It's extinct!" Ellie said, shoving her blond hair out of her eyes, her fingers tracing the leaf veins as she went. They were driving along a field now, taking a detour off the regular road.

"Holy…" The paleontologist murmured, not staring at the leaf, but the sight off to the groups left. Grasping around blindly for her head, he turned it so she could see what she was seeing.

"Now this is a new one." Harry whispered in amazement, remembering the lessons from primary school about dinosaurs.

Hearing indistinct murmurs, Harry's eyes tried to track the voices to where they were coming from, hoping he wasn't going crazy. Frowning as the voices grew more distant, he moved back to the cars, ready to get back to get to the headquarters of this place. He hadn't slept in quite some time, so he wanted to get there as soon as possible. He half believed he was in a waking sleep, or dreaming, except this just seemed too realistic.

Sighing in relief Harry climbed out of the jeep, "Is there a room set aside for me, because if it's ready, I wouldn't be opposed to taking a nap at the moment." He asked Director Hammond while stretching out.

"Ah yes, hold on…" John said as he summoned one of the workers nearby over to them. "Would you please show Mr. Potter to a room?" He asked with a smile, the man nodding and beckoning Harry to follow him to one of the prepared guest rooms.

Yawning, Harry shut the door to his temporary room. Exploring it proved interesting, as the room had a safari theme to it with live plants seemingly growing out of the ground. Slipping into the bathroom he grabbed a quick shower before changing into some comfortable clothes and collapsed face first onto the bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

Five hours later, someone pounded on the door, waking him abruptly from his sleep. "Wha's goin' on?" He called out sleepily, rubbing his eyes and yawning as his door flew open and shut just as quickly behind a panicked Ellie.

"Come on! We need to get back to the control room!" She said quickly, dragging him out of the nest of blankets he had snuggled himself into. Barely managing to grab his bag with everything in it before the duo were sprinting out the door, Harry scowled at the blonde's back. The dark look quickly changed to one of concern as he noticed her panicked looks around, the long barreled, double round shotgun she held one of her hand and his arm in the other, before they darted into the next hallway.

Five minutes later the two and many twisting hallways later, the two were red faced and behind the door to the computer headquarters.

"Okay. What the heck is going on?" The green eyed teen asked, roughly yanking his arm from the young woman's tight grip. He was confused and worried at the same time, glancing around the dark room and trying to figure out what was going on.

Hammond breathed a sigh of relief before turning back to the computer screen, concern written all over his features. A black male, surrounded by a small cloud of smoke murmured quietly about system diagnostics and code for the computer system.

An older man, who had opened and shut the door for Harry and Ellie, strolled forward, calmly explaining what had happened so far, to a growing more horrified by the minute, Harry.

"Robert, I, I wonder if perhaps you would be good enough to take a gas jeep and bring back my grandchildren." The old man asked, turning to look at the Kenyan game keeper's face.

"Sure." The Kenyan replied before he turned and strolled out the door.

"I'm going with him." Ellie called out as she quickly went to follow him.

"Me too." Harry said, frowning at the thought of a couple of children out there by themselves. He couldn't just sit by and wait for the group to get back! He had to do something.

"But you're–" John started to object, turning to look at the slight teen worriedly.

"Eighteen and legal. I can be of some use. I may have a talent or two that could come in handy." Harry said by way of reply.

Hammond opened his mouth as if to object, before closing it and nodding in understanding. "Be safe." He called out as Harry broke into a sprint to catch up to the two adults disappearing around the corner.

Catching up, he joined the two silent humans; listening to every sound he could for what may be something dangerous. Climbing into the jeep, the trio took off for the Tyrannosaurus-Rex's former pen.

A few minutes later, they found the devastated site. "Oh my God." Ellie murmured, fear lacing her every syllable. "Alan!" She screamed, trying to hear him if she could.

Meanwhile, Harry and Robert moved towards where the rest stop had been, all that was left now was a collapsed building. "I think…that's some of Gennaro (the lawyer)." The Kenyan announced, grimacing at the blood and gore.

"Here's another piece." Harry murmured, trying not to throw up at the sight of the wet chunks of former human spread about the ground. He had seen some disgusting things during his time in the Wizarding World, but nothing like this.

A groaning whimper emerged from a pile of leaves, which the duo had previously thought was just that. "Mr. Malcom?" Harry asked, frowning slightly as he voiced his confusion over the situation.

"Need to move…" Ian murmured almost deliriously, the pain from his leg starting to make him slip into shock now that he had woken up.

"What happened? Where's Alan? What about Lex and Tim?!" Ellie questioned almost hysterical with worry and horror over seeing parts of Donald Gennaro all over the place.

"Don' know. T-The 'Rex broke loose. We need to get out of here." The dark haired man groaned out. He was trying to sit up, forcing himself to stay awake by way of adrenaline and pure will.

Harry stepped away, moving off to investigate the area more, trying to find out what happened. Moving over to the broken fence, he leaned over the ledge, his eyes growing wide at the sight below. "I found the other Jeep!" He called out, his eyes fixed on the partially crushed car.

Ellie hurried over as soon as Malcom was securely set in the back of the gas-run vehicle. "Oh my God." She breathed in horror, before grabbing a broken power line and slipping down the side of the cliff.

As soon as she touched ground, she took off towards the car, desperately hoping the missing trio would be there. A forlorn cry emerged from her throat before she managed to clamp down on it, and call up to the other two. "They aren't here!" She managed to shout out, slowly making her way back to the power lines and start climbing back up.

Before she was half way up, Malcom noticed one of the puddles rippling with echo-steps. "You guys might want to move faster!" He called out, silently starting to hyperventilate; he did not want to be some dino's dinner.

Harry booked it back into the jeep, wanting to get out of there before anything happened. Ellie and Robert scrambled in behind him, starting the jeep and tearing down the road as the T-Rex burst from the rainforest around them.

"Food! Come back food!" A voice called out over the roar of the T-Rex, making Harry's head snap around.

'What the-?' Harry wondered as the car took off for the command center. "Who was that?!" He called out, watching as the Tyrannosaurus-Rex stopped completely as soon as the words left his mouth.

The car drove on, the tires practically screaming as it continued to race down the road. Everyone was panting from the adrenaline rush, freaking out – whether silently or loudly – about what had just happened to them and how everyone (except the lawyer of course) had made it out.

Muldoon kept glancing at Harry with a curious look on his face, not actually saying anything, but still wondering silently how the teenager was taking everything so calmly. He thought over the loud hisses that had emerged from his mouth right before the dinosaur had stopped, realizing he had been the only one to catch it.

Parking the jeep and running inside, Muldoon shut the door behind the four, hoping the children and Doctor Grant would make it back okay.

Harry and Ellie helped Ian down to the control room, the Kenyan game keeper shutting and locking doors behind them as they went. They needed to set and bind his wound before it could get worse. "So…how do we do this?" Harry finally asked when the supplies were gathered.

"Well…I've got experience with setting animal's bones…can't be much different than that." The blond replied, smiling sheepishly at the incredulous looks she was receiving from every other person in the room.

Sighing, Robert pulled his hat off. "Let's get to it then." He said with a sigh, grabbing Malcom's arms and pinning them after he put part of a balled up shirt in his mouth.

The night passed in apprehensive worry, tension lighting the air light lightning from a heat storm. Harry pulled the full story out of the adults quickly enough, making plans and thinking up ideas if worst came to worst. Sleep was taken in shifts, with at least two people up at a time.

The next morning dawned and the weary group finally decided to put their plan in action, restarting everything and hoping the powering up would work.

Just in case it didn't, Harry was already over at the basement-like room that held the fuse boxes. A radio and Mr. Arnold Ray accompanied him, making sure that everything would go off without a hitch. The older people weren't happy, but they were dealing with the emotion after a few well pointed out facts.

Muldoon stayed to protect the other four people, along with Ellie, who knew how to handle a gun. Arnold was more worried about the startup protocol going through, and as such insisted that he accompany Harry, who locked the door behind them, just in case something did happen. Ellie hit the enter switch at Mr. Ray's command, a loud click echoing through the empty bunker they were in. Over the radio, the older man guided Ellie through the start up sequence, glad to have taken the precaution before shutting down the system. When everything was set and nothing started back up right away, a pit formed at the bottom of the English teen's stomach.

The two dark haired males turned the power back on, which took awhile, even with two of them working on it.

"You ready?" The older man asked, glancing at Harry worriedly.

"You know the reason I insisted I came was because I'm a really fast runner. See if you can keep up, old man." Harry teased back, comfortable enough to do so with the man due to the fact they were in a life-threatening situation.

Taking a deep breath, they both limbered up, nerves making their appearance as they remembered the raptor's confinement was near where they were. "Let's go." The black man(1) finally said, unlocking and opening the door. "Run." He whispered, his eyes sharp as the two took in sight through the trees of the ripped up cage that used to stop the raptors from getting out.

Harry took off, the wind flying beneath his feet as he flew over the ground, not stopping to even glance behind him. He heard Mr. Ray's feet pounding only a meter or so behind him, as time seemed to slow while running through the path they had taken to the bunker.

A pained scream from Arnold almost made him pause, but he knew if he did he would be a velociraptor meal as well. 'Shit!' He screamed silently, knowing better than to waste his breath by speaking at the moment. He could do so when he was safely back inside the building. The screams continued and snarling voices reached his ears before the sound of something tearing and the screams suddenly stopped, his breath coming in pants now as he raced up the hill. Breathing hard, he risked a glance behind him, pausing to catch his breath and look around warily.

"Harry!" A voice called out in relief, making the teen's eyes widen in fear. Alan Grant was moving towards him, a hesitant smile on his tired face.

"Run! Run!" He panted out, the word clearly not registering on the man's level of hearing. "Run!" He said louder, grabbing his hand and jerking him towards the main building, starting to sprint for safety again.

"What's going on-? Oh crap." Dr. Grant said, catching sight of the Raptor's former cage and starting to increase the two's pace, helping pull Harry faster. His face was pale with fear, worry clearly shown on his features.

As soon as the two were inside the first secure door, the stopped again to breathe. "Kids are in the control room with Ellie. Went looking for you when you-" The older man panted out, his breathing uneven.

"We've got to move." Harry said nervously, his eyes huge, fixed on the face peering through the triple reinforced glass. A reptilian head looked at the two of them, both going shades paler at the sight. In sync, the two male's turned and raced through three more doors, slamming and locking the doors between them and the female Raptor now trying to break through the door.

Slamming the door shut, they tried to lock this one, only to find the locks wouldn't engage. "How can we lock a door that has no locks?!" Harry screamed, hearing muffled glass shattering.

"I found it!" Lex shrieked, the door lock engaging as she shouted.

"Um…question. H-How do we get out of here without getting eaten by that?" Tim asked shakily, noticing the one thing everyone else had forgotten, there were no other doors in the room.

"The air ducts!" Ellie suddenly said, pointing to a tipped over ladder on the floor.

"Hurry! She's breaking through the glass of the third door!" Alan said, keeping a sharp eye on the carnivore coming towards them.

The five humans raced up the stepladder, moving quickly as they could. The sound of glass cracking as Harry was half way up the ladder made him look over in horror at the window. Scampering up the last few rungs of the metal steps, he toppled the ladder over just in time. A second sooner and the raptor would have been able to use it to get up to them. Voices started to speak from below them, making Harry shake with fear. "There's three of them down there now." He whispered, following Ellie as they crawled across the ceiling.

Lex screamed as a Raptor's head lifted the tile she was on at the moment. Alan kicked it in the face several times; worried that Lex would become dino dinner rather quickly. Falling, Lex grabbed onto the edge of the hole, gripping it and being helped up by Ellie and Harry, who were closest to her. The velociraptors were snapping at her feet, trying to snatch up the easy snack that was trying to escape them. Tears leaked out as Lex tried to get over the close call she had just experienced, whimpering she huddled down for a moment, her whole body shaking from the close-call.

Waiting a moment for Lex to collect herself, the group moved into the air ducks and worked their way through them quickly. Jumping down onto the skeleton of the T-Rex, the group slowly worked their way down the scaffolding and onto the large, wired bones.

"Move, move, move!" Alan shouted, watching the Raptor that had appeared at the top of the staircase. Suddenly several of the connecting wires gave out, making everyone scream in fright. Tim slipped off and fell to the ground, Lex landing beside him as the wire that was supporting the bone she had been hanging onto gave out, the stud falling loose of the ceiling. Alan fell next, then Ellie, Harry jumping at almost the exact same time to avoid being crushed by the skull of the dinosaur.

Gathering together they started towards the exit, only to freeze in fright. Forming a circle with the two younger teens in the middle, the three older humans watched the three Velociraptors carefully, waiting to see who would move first.

Well, hope you enjoyed the first installment of this fic. I'm excited to finally be publishing it myself. I completed this fic a little while ago…school's been insane to try and get stories out with, so my new policy is the story has to be finished before I publish it. Otherwise it's just a bad idea…

See you in the next chapie!
