When Two Worlds Meet
Pikachu
Part 5

Thursday June 29, 2006

Hey all! Now that I have my own computer, expect tons of revisions and updates 
from me since I can write anytime that I’m 
bored. It’ll be even more convenient when I get internet to. Oh well. Enjoy the 
new part!

Ash had managed to slowly make his way up to the hospital wing after the 
Quidditch game, bracing his broken arm so he would 
not move it and cause himself more pain.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione were around 
him, discussing the match as well as throwing 
worried looks at Ash.  He slightly ignored them as they finally made their way 
into the hospital wing. Madam Profrey, the 
nurse, was taking care of a patient with a bad cough when they walked in.  She 
bustled over and peered at all of them.

“What can I help you youngsters with?” She inquired. They exchanged glances.  
Ash held out his arm but also winced in pain 
as he did so. Madam Profrey raised a questioning eyebrow that vanished after she 
saw Ash’s Quidditch robes. She nodded.

“Broke your arm in the match I’m guessing?” She asked. Ash nodded again. She 
motioned for him to follow which he did until 
they made their way to a vacant bed.  Ash sat down and Madam Profrey immediately 
began prodding around on his arm which 
surprisingly didn’t hurt at all.

“You seemed to have hurt yourself pretty badly boy.” She told him 
disapprovingly.  Ash gulped.

“You will be able to heal it, won’t you?” Ash asked, worried. Madam Profrey 
chuckled.

“Of course I’ll be able to heal it. I’m not the school nurse for nothing you 
know. It’s my job to heal.” She chuckled.  
Behind her, Fred and George rolled their eyes.  Madam Profrey pulled out her 
wand and gently tapped Ash’s arm.  His eyes 
widened as he felt a strange sensation in his arm, like it was being patched 
together.  Madam Profrey nodded approvingly 
and the sensation stopped.  Ash held up his arm and flexed his fingers.  He 
smiled at her.

“Thanks.” He murmured. Madam Profrey smiled.

“You’re welcome.  Do try and keep yourself away from injuries.” She scolded.  
Madam Profrey then got up and bustled to 
another bed, where some sort of sneezing was taking place. 

“Awesome job today Ash.” Fred said approvingly.

“Yeah, really spectacular!” George commented. They looked at each other.

“I think we should get his autograph before he gets all big-headed on us.” Fred 
joked.  Ash threw a pillow at them.

“Oh shut up you two.” He laughed.  Fred and George looked sarcastically 
offended.

“Too late.” They replied.  They then went out of the room, laughing.  Hermione 
looked after them, disapprovingly. They then 
all get up and walk out of the hospital wing.  Ash was trying to think of what 
had happened during the game.  The events 
had happened so fast that he had had almost no time to recollect on the previous 
ones.  Hermione looked at him.  Ash 
looked back.

“You alright Ash? You’re kind of quiet.” She said.  Ash nodded.

“Yeah, I’m okay.  Good thing to since I have that irritating detention in an 
hour.  Oh how I can’t wait for that.” He 
replied sarcastically.  Hermione gave a faint smile. 

“Shall we go work on our homework then?” Harry asked.  Ash thought about it.

“You guys go ahead. I should probably head down to the third floor.  The sooner 
I can get this punishment over with, the 
better.” Ash replied.  The others nodded and walked away.  Ash began to make his 
way to the third floor.  Trying his best 
not to prolong how long he took to get there, he managed to make it so that he 
arrived 15 minutes prior to when he needed 
to be there.  There he was.  Snape was standing on the other side of the 
corridor with a bucket next to him.  Ash slowly 
made his way towards the end of the hall and up to Snape.  He hoped he wouldn’t 
say anything stupid.

“Well Ketchum, I see you made it.” Snape said slyly. Ash fought the urge to roll 
his eyes. He didn’t want another detention.  This one was bad enough.

“Yeah, I made it.  So when can I start this? I want to get it over with.” Ash 
said.  He hoped he had managed to keep his 
irritation under control.  Snape’s lip curled.

“Watch it Ketchum.  I can with ease give you another detention and it would not 
faze me in the least.” Snape retorted.  
Ash was about to retort when he remembered Harry’s warning about to just ignore 
Snape’s snide remarks.  Ash bit his lip 
and looked up at Snape.  He then reached down, picked up the bucket, and handed 
it to Ash.

“Here you go.  You should start now.  You have quite a long way to go.” He said 
nastily.  Smirking, he strode past Ash, 
who strongly resisted the urge to throw the metal bucket right at the back of 
his slimy head.  Grudgingly, Ash slowly got 
down on the floor and began to scrub with the brush.  He couldn’t believe he had 
somehow been stupid enough to land himself 
in this situation.  Cursing Snape under his breath, Ash continued cleaning the 
floor.  Thankfully, the third floor remained 
empty of anyone except the occasional ghost floating by.  Finally after three 
hours, Ash had managed to get the rest of the 
floor cleaned except one corner which he was now inspecting for any big chucks 
of garbage.  Out of the corner of his eye, 
he saw something green.  He picked it up and went to put it in the bucket.  The 
only problem was it had attached itself to 
his finger. Ash shook his finger, trying to shake it off, but it stuck.  He held 
up his hand, puzzled.

“What’s your problem? Garbage shouldn’t act like this!” He told the green slime.  
It continued to stick to his finger 
until he rubbed it into the bucket where it fell into the water.  It was more 
than garbage though.  The second it fell into 
the water, it made a horrible sucking noise and suddenly, the water was gone.

To be continued…

Kind of boring but hey, it’s after midnight and I wanted to finish this. It’s at 
least better than it used to be.  Well, 
review! ^^
