Chapter 3
Btw, all of this is set in modern time because we can't have a good non-horror Creepypasta fanfic with BEN in it and not set it in modern times. And also because a lot of Creeps wasn't around during canon HP time, including BEN.

"Where are we?" Harry asked after a while of walking.
"Oh? I'm glad you noticed the change." Slenderman stated. "For your information, we are in a forest in the state of New York."
"Huh." was Harry's response.
"You seem awfully unsurprised." Slenderman remarked.
"Weird and unique stuff regularly happen around me so I am kinda numb to these things. There's also the fact that you are a really tall faceless entity in a classy suit."
To that, Slenderman let out a chuckle. "I guess you're right." He said.
"What are you anyway?" Harry asked.
"A legend, you could say. I have been here for a long time and, as of late, humans calls me, as well as some others, 'Creepypasta'." The entity replied.
"Is She a Creepypasta too?"
"She?"
"You should have been following me for some time now or, at least, you saw what happened to those kidnappers, considering that you found me so fast. So you should have seen Her: The Birch."
"Ah, yes. She." Slender paused before continuing. "While similar to a Creepypasta, Creep for short, She is not a Creepypasta. But instead, is something called a Cryptic, or Crypt for short. A couple other Cryptics are the Mordeo, the Look-See, the Kinderfänger, Mira and the Mimic."
"I see..." Harry mused. "What are those anyway?" Harry asked, pointing at a couple creepy drawings on the trees.
"Those are the works of one of the individuals who live with me." Slenderman replied. "She seems to think that I won't be able to see them unless she puts them all around. That or maybe this is the idea of one of her games."
"Really?" Harry said as they continued walking.
"We're here." Slender announced. "Welcome to the Slender Manor."
And Harry Potter looked up to see an enormous manor. Gothic style. It seemed like the Manor has at least 3 floors but it was really big and some parts were obscured by trees so Harry wasn't completely sure. The Manor was mostly black and different shades of gray but there were other colors too. Still dark colors though. It gave the gothic manor an ominous vibe. Kinda cliché if you ask me.
Following Slender into the Manor, he met two other people. One was a brunet wearing a yellow jacket and a white mask with feminine features. The other one was wearing an orange hoodie and a black mask with red eyes and a red frown.
"Sir?" The one in yellow jacket asked.
"Tim, Brian, this is Harry. He will be staying with us." Slender said. "Please go get Jack for me."
"Yes, sir." The guy in yellow jacket, now identified as Tim, said before both of them went to get whoever this 'Jack' guy is.
"Who's Jack?" Harry asked.
"Eyeless Jack." Slenderman replied. "You could say he's our resident doctor."
A couple minutes later, a guy in a lab coat came. He has brown hair, grey skin and was also wearing a blue mask with some kind of black substance oozing from the eyes. How the black thing didn't drip everywhere, Harry didn't know. But considering the situation he was in, Harry wasn't really surprised.
They took him down the lab/infirmary in the basement and did a check-up. Harry hadn't really been to the doctor's before, the Dursley didn't want to 'waste their money on him', but if all doctors were like Jack, he decided that he liked them. Jack was professional and caring. Whilst waiting for the results, Jack let him ask a couple questions.
"How many people live in this Manor?" was Harry's first question. But upon realizing that Slenderman was not human and there could be others like that too, he rephrased his question. "How many beings live in this Manor?"
"Well, there are 10 of us." Jack replied. "There's Slenderman, Masky and Hoodie - or Tim and Brian, Sally, who is around your age, BEN Drowned, Jeff and his dog Smile, remember to close the doors and windows of your room before going to sleep, Jeff's welcoming ritual can get a little bloody, Toby, another guy also named Jack, don't take any candy that clown offers, and me. Occasionally, we have some visitors."
"K... So... what's with your eyes? How can you see when you're eyeless, according to your name, and why doesn't the black gooey stuff drip everywhere?"
"To be honest, I'm not one hundred percent sure. We just chalk it up to magic and leave it at that."
"Hmm..."
"Well, the results are in." Jack said, holding some papers. He went to discuss with Slender who was standing in a corner of the room.
"First, he's malnourished. Too small for his age. I'd recommend some lighter meals to start off with. Lots of light protein, vitamins and carbs. Maybe some thin soup or light bread. Nothing too heavy, oily or excessively sweet.
"As for his injuries, I treated them the best I could. We'll have to let them heal themselves. They'll heal with time. I also noticed signs of abuse, he did not have the best home-life.
"However, there's one scar that stands out. The one in shape of a lightning on his forehead emits a strange dark energy though you probably already knew that."
"Yes, I've noticed. But we can't get rid of it until he's more healthy."
"I see.." Jack walked towards a cupboard and took out a lollipop. "Here." He gave it to Harry. "For being such a good patient."
Harry decided that he most definitely liked Jack.
"Slendy! You're back!" Someone exclaimed.
Harry turned around to see an excited brunette girl with green eyes, a pink dress and blood running down her face. She ran into Slender and hugged him. And then she saw Harry.
"Hello!" She ran towards him. "I'm Sally Williams. Who are you?"
"I-I'm Harry Potter." Harry said. "Nice to meet you."
"Play with me." Sally asked.
"Normal playing, Sally." Slender, or 'Slendy', said.
"Yes, Slendy!" Sally replied.
And with that, Sally led him away.

You know, I was actually gonna let Harry meet the Creeps in the Manor in this chapter. But then I realized that there's a thing called 'different time zones' and the US time is behind the UK time. And yes, I totally made up the general words for monsters from the CryptTV's MCU (Monster Cinematic Universe).
And these are the monsters mentioned:
- The wendigo thing: Mordeo:
