Theory on different magical creatures

Petunia was not happy to see him. But that was to be expected.

And it was not like he cared about the woman or her overweight child either way.

Harry had thought that Vernon's absence in the house would remove a bad influence from the boy's life and that he would lose his weight in the coming months after his dad went to prison.

But that didn't happen.

The stress of taking a daytime job and living with Harry didn't stop Petunia from over feeding the boy and as a result, the boy had accumulated even more fat in his body than he did in the movie.

Harry wondered if Dudley was bullied in the school for being so fat. If he was, then it would truly be karma at work.

After showing the woman his face and having lunch, he went to his room and closed it so that no one would be able to enter without his permisson.

Now he just needed to create an underground basement for himself so that he would be able to continue his research without the ministry bothering him.

Hmm… there was an old and abandoned building some miles outside his old school that kids had claimed to be haunted.

He had of course, checked the house and there was nothing haunted about it. But it was too old and dilapidated for him to do anything with it. But now that he needed some place create an underground basement without others knowing, that house would serve him just as well.

With that in mind, he took his trunk and jumped out of his window while covering himself with the shroud of Concealment.

After that, he walked a good distance away from 4 Privet Drive before apparating out of the place and landing outside the dilapidated old building.

"Bitty." He called out loud and within a few moments, the house elf was in front of him.

"Master Harry Potter be calling Bitty. What can Bitty be doing for Master Harry Potter Sir?"

'Jesus, these house elves and their perfect English.' He inwardly groaned.

"Do you see this building Bitty." He said pointing at the old building. "I want you to create a basement under it that looks like this." He said and took out a diagram of his labs in the chamber of secrets.

Actually, the chamber of secrets was larger than was shown in the movie. But that was to be expected.

There was no point in showing the rooms that might have once been Salazar Slytherin's private quarters or living rooms or any such things in the movies.

Nor was there any need to show all the hundreds of tunnels that connected the place to the sewer lines going outside Hogwarts.

Regardless, he just need a few rooms in which he could spend his time and do his research without anyone bothering him.

"Bitty's be doing as Master Harry Potter be saying." She said happily before going inside the house and digging in the floor and vanishing the earth under it a bit at a time while making sure that the house won't collapse upon itself.

Digging such a large area must have been hard because he could literally feel his magic being transferred to Bitty in large amounts.

A good thing that House elves were just loyal beings otherwise there were so many ways in which they could kill wizards and witches that it wouldn't even be funny.

Now that he thought about it, how did House elves even came into existence.

Was it possible that they were formed naturally or did some wizard created them so that he could have the perfect servants.

Well, considering how giant fire breathing dragons were a real thing in this world, it was quite possible that house elves were formed naturally as well.

But there were often times when he realized that a lot of magical creatures and beings are not as… natural as they might look at first glance.

Maybe an immensely powerful wizard that lived a few thousand years ago one day simply thought that merging a lion an an eagle might be fun and thus Hippogriffs were created.

Then the next day he thought the experimenting on muggles and adding other animals to their lower body might be fun and thus centures and mermaids came into existence.

If you continue that line of thought then it's entirely plausible that some very powerful wizard or witch might have created goblins and house elves as well.

In that same line, you could also say that dragons could have once been lizards who were then enlarged and given the fire breathing ability along with the wings.

After all, if a novice wizard like him, who had not even started learning about magic six months ago could change a human's eye to that of a hawk so that the human would be able to see like them, then a wizard who have experimented on such things for hundreds of years could easily create whole new species as well.

That line of thought made him wonder if he would be able to do something similar in the future.

Maybe.

If he lived long enough then such a thing was definitely possible.

But there was not much point in thinking about it for now.

He entered the house and saw a one meter large hole at the center of the living room.

Then he took out his rune carving tools from inside the expandable purse along with magical unicorn blood (courtesy of Quirrelmort) and lit up a torch before jumping inside the hole.

It was time for him to get to work.
