Ash Potter, Harry Ketchum?

By: Enja
Part: 13

	It was for the rest of that week that I got many compliments from around the 
school. I even got a few from the Slytherin house, which was strangely odd. They all had 
these blank looks on their faces; they didn’t even have the “spark of life” in their eyes, 
which freaked me out quite a bit. 

	But I set that aside for the time being and focused more on how to getting back to 
my world, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu. I have been mainly training Charizard in the 
morning, out on the front lawns around 6:00 AM. It was a wonder Filch didn’t kill me.

	Hermione had been studying about obscure traveling; such as switching 
dimensions may I add. Ron had been just kind of doing this and that every once and a 
while helping me train Charizard, which believe me, was not a pretty site.

	Today I sat at the breakfast table reading the Daily Prophet. “Nothing good…” I 
set it down and started helping myself to the newly arrived breakfast food. I looked 
around the Great Hall to find only hardly any more students besides me helping 
themselves to their own breakfast.

	What was weird is that they were all Slytherin’s, no Gryffindor’s (besides me), no 
Hufflepuff’s, and no Ravenclaws…

	“ASH!!!” I jerked my head towards the big wooden doors of the Great Hall and 
watched as Hermione dashed up to me with a huge smile on her face. “Guess what?!”

	“What?”

	“I think I found something!” 

	“Really?” She nodded her head furiously and ran off towards the hall motioning 
for me to follow.
	
	I got out from my seat and ran up the stairs to follow her. As soon as I got to 
hallway she was nowhere to be seen.

	“HERMIONE!!!” No answer. “HERMIONE!!!” Still no answer, but light 
footsteps could be heard approaching me. “Hermione?”

	“No way, Ketchum.” I knew that sarcastic and foul voice. It was Malfoy; his pale 
rat-like face peered at me from around the corner. His piercing ice-blue eyes watched my 
every movement.

	“What do you want, Malfoy?” He sneered.

	“Where’s your dragon, aren’t you supposed to be training it?” I snickered.

	“Already did.”

	More footsteps came from behind Malfoy. “Well, we can’t have that, now can 
we? It seems, Draco, here was telling the truth. ” Snape’s pale body emerged in front of 
me.

	“Damn…” I murmured under my breath. Snape let out a small wicked laugh. 

	“Follow me, Ketchum…” So I did. It’s not like I had a choice. We went through 
the long passages of the eerie hallways that were usually filled with laughter and joy of 
all the students. 

	The entrance to the dungeons didn’t too much better. Water leaking from the 
ceiling, dark and moldy halls, disturbing pictures, and suspense like feeling filled my 
body. “Almost there, Ketchum…” 

	I sighed. It was time to face the music of hard punishment. We entered the room 
full of distress. “Sit down, Ketchum.”

	“Yes sir.” I moaned as I sat in a hard and cold wooden chair.

	“As Draco has informed me, you have a dragon. Is that correct Mr. Ketchum?” 
Snape said icily.

	“Well sort of. It’s a Charizard.”

	He nodded slowly. “I see and may I ask what a Charizard is?”

	“It’s a Pokemon, sir.”

	“And what might a Pokemon be?” 

	I fretted. What was I supposed to tell him? “A creature, Professor.” Great going- 

	“What the heck?!” Snape peered out the door after the loud crash had sounded.
