Harry Potter the First Nemea Leonthrope)byKairomaru

Chapter 1: Birth of a New Breed

I swear I've got absolutely no muse for my Naruto stories but my muse keeps trying to crank out ideas for new stories from different series. The series this time is, quite obviously, Harry Potter. Now the story diverges from canon during the battle with the Basilisk and does so to answer questions/fill in plot holes that I always felt the canon story didn't address. Things like why the Horcrux in Harry wasn't destroyed we he was bitten by the Basilisk and had the snake's venom coursing through his body. As well as how in the HELL does the Sword of Gryffindor survive the force and weight of the Basilisk along with the venom without breaking or at least some damage? Don't say because it is Goblin forged either! Thousand year old Basilisk venom destroys Soul Magic like Horcruxes but can't eat through metal just because it was magically forged by Goblins? I call bullshit.

A shout out to Kaleb-yamato, author of 'Rise of the Lycans' for inspiring the main change for Harry in this story. Can't wait for the next chapter of your story Kaleb-yamato!

So without further ado please enjoy my first foray into the fanfiction world of Harry Potter.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Chamber of Secrets, May 29, 1993

Harry Potter had just performed the most incredibly stupid act of his young life, at least he thought so, when he willingly stepped into the jaws of Slytherin's Basilisk just for a chance to stab the beast in the only soft spot on its body, the flesh of the great serpent's mouth. Never mind the fact that a twelve year old wizard was even fighting a thousand year old Basilisk, an incredible feat in and of itself, but had also been fighting the King of Serpents with a bloody sword of all things! The fact that said sword belonged to Godric Gryffindor, was forged by Goblins and therefore imbued with great magic was of little comfort to Harry as the Basilisk's bite closed around him.

'Well shit!' Harry thought as the Basilisk closed its jaws around him as the Sword of Gryffindor pierced the giant serpent through the roof of the mouth. The incredible pain that Harry felt in his arm letting him know that one of the Basilisk's huge fangs had punctured him and was injecting the most powerful venom in the world into his body. The only thing that distracted Harry from the searing pain that was travelling up his arm was the massive weight that was suddenly pressing down on him as the Sword of Gryffindor pierced through the Basilisk's brain ending the snake's life and causing the now dead weight of the serpent to crash down on both the boy and the sword that was still stuck inside the beast.

'This is not good, I'm going to be crushed.' Harry thought as he sank to his knees under the dead serpent's weight, the Sword of Gryffindor still in hand and the constant pain of the venom spreading through his body the only things he was aware of anymore. At least they were, until with the sound of a metallic crack the blade of the Sword of Gryffindor cracked only inches above the guard. 'Now what?' Harry questioned mentally as he continued to hold the sword with the same arm that had been pierced by the Basilisk's fang. A small part of Harry's mind wondered if he'd be in trouble for damaging the sword that belonged to Gryffindor before the twelve year old noticed a shiny golden and red liquid begin to seep out of the crack in the blade and run down the guard.

"What is this stuff?" Harry asked himself in a pained gasp as the venom continued to pulse in his veins. The golden and red liquid had now travelled down his arm and covered the wound in Harry's arm which still had the broken off tip of the Basilisk's fang sticking out. 'Never mind,' Harry thought with his remaining focus as he yanked the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Basilisk's mouth and practically fell backwards out of the giant snake's partially opened jaws. 'I still need to save Ginny.' Harry finished in his head as he stumbled closer to the blurring figures a couple dozen meters away. The venom at this point had circulated throughout Harry's body causing his cells to die and his body to start shutting down.
