Last Time On Pokè Mayhem
Harry apologized in a whisper as she hugged her. "Sorry for making you worry." Harry pulled back confused. "I wasn't much help in the fight yesterday, but how did you change into a Pikachu anyway?"
(Daisy's Pov)
"You changed me or at least I think you did". I squeaked "I used to live day to day controlled by instinct. A scavenger, with little thought beyond survival. Eating through anything I could get my teeth on; then I was captured by my own mindless hunger." I thought back to those dark days when even my own kind would be eaten given the chance. "You appeared and saved me, the days went on until one morning I woke up and I could think."
"How could I have changed you? I'm just Harry". Her voice a permanent whisper.
"No! You are not, you're my girl, you're my human, not just Harry." Determinationpowered my words. " You have an ability in you that can change things into something amazing. You are special."
"How though, I just thought of what you would look and be like as a Pokémon..." She trailed off. "I did let myself admit that I wanted a Pokémon. I wanted a friend, then I found you that day in the cage." Harry admitted her desire. "It's not the first time something weird occurred. I appeared on the school roof once, I wanted to get away from Dudley…" She started to mutter to herself.
I laid down beside her hip. She seemed to need to work things out herself. It hurts to think of what I use to be. But by the day it's getting harder to remember and easier to forget: I once was just a mouse and not always a Pikachu. I know one day soon I won't remember. I will except that when it happens.

(Harry's Pov)
I felt funny, my chest did anyway like my heart was replaced with a hummingbird. 'I created a pokemon, a whole new species. But how, it was just like magic... Magic! Of course, that had to be it. It explains all the stuff happening around me. Like my teacher's hair turning blue or growing my hair out when Petunia gave me a crew cut. Shrinking that hideous lime green sweater she tried to force me in. Or that dream about a flying motorcycle.
Thinking of the motorcycle made her think of warm eyes and bark-like laughter. It also made her incredibly sad.
"If I can make Daisy, why can't I make others?" Harry was enlightened. The pokemon world needed to be created, and what better way than magic? "That's what I'll do if I can't go to the Pokémon world for an adventure. Then I'll be the person to bring the Pokémon world and adventures here to the world". Harry daydreamed about what she would do. Start at the beginning of course.
Knocking soon shook her from her thoughts. Looking up she saw the smiling face of Mary. "Ready to go on an adventure?".
"Always." She hoped it wasn't by a car, she had no clothes but a hospital gown. Which she could tell would not be very good protection against hot car buckles. "How are we going?"
"We're flying." Next thing I was strapped into a helicopter seat, that's flying at incredible speeds towards London. I had to put ear muffs on Pikachu and myself because it was so loud. Dr Markson was beside us saying we would be there in 15 minutes.
This was great, flying was amazing and she was farther than she ever was from the Dursley family. Something cold, moist and sticky tried to cling on to me before I felt it ooze off. It seemed to have sapped all the energy out of my legs and my emotions.
My felt chest like it was squeezing and it sounded like my heart was between my ears. 'What if they don't let Daisy and me in. Or give Daisy away to some rich person and send me away to be experimented on. What if they send me back to the Dursleys.'
"It's going to be o.k Harry breathe. That's it: nice and easy, a little slower that's better. No one going to hurt you, either of you." Mary rubbed my back. "You two will be staying here until you're better and we can find out who is originally supposed to take care of you".
"S-sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me." My body is shaking, and I force my body to uncurl from around Daisy. Showing weakness in front of strangers was bad.
"Nothing is wrong, it's a natural reaction." Mary soothed her worries.

(General Pov)
The helicopter bounced once as it begins its descent to the roof, waiting by the doors was a duo in medical uniforms. Once the blades stopped spinning, one pushed a wheelchair to the doors. He had short black hair and grey eyes. "Hello my name is Jack Nicholas and you must be Dr Mary Markson." He shook Dr Markson hand then turned towards Harry. "You must be our new patient Harry and her friend Daisy."
Harry nodded when he said her name. As they went inside the elevator she waved goodbye at the pilots. She was tired.
"Ok Harry we have to get you registered then we'll be taking you upstairs to the ward you'll be staying in for your stay," Mary said as she walked beside her chair.
"Alright. What do I have to do?" Looking up at the trio of adults.
"Just answer a few questions and get a wristband." Dr Nicolas answered while holding a file. "Full name?"
"Harry Potter."
"Is it short for anything?" Nicolas glanced up from the file.
"I don't know sir." Harry shrugged lots a people ask her that.
"Alright. Day of birth and how old are you?"
"July 31 and I'm nine years old."
"Thank-you. Now if you can hold out your hand." Nicholas pulled out a shiny blank strip and a wooden stamp, wrapping the stip around her wrist he pressed the block leaving behind a metallic snowflake.
"Nicholas is going to your doctor now. I need to make sure everything is in here then I'm going." Mary said as stepped away. She gave a small smile as her eyes took on an extra shine.
"O.k ". Harry took a deep breath as she swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Let's get everything together shall we Dr Markson," Dr Nicholas walked up to Mary. Motioning to the other adult he explained. "Julia will take you up to your room now".
Julia took control of the wheelchair directing her through the hall towards a new trio of elevators. "Your on the seventh level which is called the forest floor. You have a view of the Thames and your room is in Deer Hall. Deer Hall is to the right of the elevators and then a left at the desks." As she spoke, Harry felt herself relaxing.
The highly freckled nurse pushed the upturned arrow closest to the centre elevator. "In the centre of the hospital, there's a large courtyard. That you can go to tomorrow if the doctor gives the okay. There's usually quite a bit of play equipment out there in the afternoons." Julia turned the chair and backed into the elevator as they opened.
"The elevators to get to our floor's hall are called the violet moons. Each group of elevators has its own name after the visible sky." Passing the third floor Julia supplied. "School starts in a month and a half it's on the third floor along with the music room, gymnasium and other school facilities. It's called the Oasis floor. Each floor that has residency on it has an activity room."
The door chimed opened. The floors were covered with very light green leaves. The top quarter of the walls and ceiling was covered with autumn coloured leaves. Middle of the ceiling she could see something reflecting light it was also on the posts, between the rails and on the floor trim. The reception desk was in front of a giant soft yellow geometric sun. The cabinets all had pastel coloured mandalas and scroll designs.
Going further down she could hear the low sound of telly shows playing in various rooms mixed in with family chatter.
"Here we are Room #12, you have a roommate he's a few years younger than you. You'll meet him before supper which is at five O'clock". Julia informed her as she helped her into her bed. "Another nurse will be here in a short while to hook you up to the monitor and IV."
"Thank-you," Harry said as she walked out.
" Pika? (Explore?)"
"Only around the room and stay in the other bed." Harry swung her legs off the side of the bed, going towards the window. "Huh, the Thames is cleaner than I thought." Looking down she was surprised in the dim light to see the hospital surrounded by trees and small fields, she never saw so many trees before. There were garden plots jammed with plants and it seemed most of those trees were fruit trees. There was a brick courtyard with drawings all over it. Raised flower beds where she guessed the doors were. Pressing her forehead against the window she could make out a path with tiered flowerbeds wrapping along the sides past the corners.
"Harry?" The aforementioned person jumped slightly then turned around to see Julia and a blond curly haired guy pushing a trolley. "If you lay on the bed, we'll get started." She started to lay tubes out and turning on a machine.
"What's that?" Watching as she hanged an iv bag on what looks like a coat rack with a box around the middle.
"This is an infusion pump for injecting fluids into you every few minutes," she said as the pump beeped. "Could you tell me if you're right or left-handed."
"Right-handed."
"Ok, I'm going to put it to your left so that way it's easier when you're eating or drinking. After I'm done Malcolm here has to take some blood samples." She said as she tied an elastic around Harry's Forearm and pushing on some of her veins.
"O.k," Harry said squeezing her right fist.
"This is going to hurt a little bit. So I need your help by staying as still as possible." Harry felt a sting and watched her connect a syringe by a small tube. "Can you feel any pain?" Julia spoke as she pulled out the needle from the tubing.
"No, just cold," Harry said as Julia pushed the syringe down injecting the saline into her veins. She could feel the other nurse wrap something around her other upper arm.
"That's normal it should go away soon." Proceeding to clip the iv bag to the catheter by a long clear tube. Her hand had tape in multiple places along with gauze bracing the catheter and cotton ball on top of the entry point.
"Harry I need you to squeeze Julia's hand for me when I tell you," Malcolm said as he swabbed the joint on her elbow. "And squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Almost done. There you go, you are very brave, now we just need to fill up these test tubes." He said as he popped the second tube on a few seconds later.
"Is it supposed to be that dark?" Harry asked. "My nosebleeds aren't that dark".
"Yep, lots of people even adults are surprised it so dark too," Malcolm said as he disconnected the last tube. "And we are done." Pushing a cotton swab to the hole. "Can you keep the pressure on that for a few seconds." He cut a strip of tape off the roll. "Thank-you, you did a great job".
Malcolm dropped the needles in a bright yellow container and the vials in a rack. Before writing on a chart at the end of the bed. Julia took the trolley with a wave goodbye.
"Well, I should introduce my self. My names Malcolm as you now know. I am one of the three-morning nurses of deer hall. You met Julia already and Matilda is with your roommate. You'll meet your night nurses after supper time. Which starts at Five in case no one told you." Malcolm pointed at the clock.
"You have your own telly and radio. The channels pamphlet should be in your nightstand drawer. The call button is on the right side, use it for emergencies. It looks like a bell with broken circles around it." He explained some of the things glancing at a small box on his belt. "Dr Nicholas will be here shortly to tell you what's happening." He informed before leaving, after making sure I understood.
Harry leaned over the side of the bed. "Daisy?" Nothing, getting up she made sure to grab the pump. "Daisy? Where are you?" Looking behind the couch. Nope.
tap* *tap* *tap*
"Daisy? How did you get in there?" Harry wobbled towards the bathroom. Why did her legs hurt so much? They never use to. Where the light noise was coming from.
tap* *tap* *tap*
Opening the door out came a damp Pikachu. Behind her was a full sink with a single toothbrush and paste.
"Wha-?"
"Pika chu pika pi." ("I fell in the sink"). Daisy walked passed leaving wet paw prints behind. She jumped on our bed and proceeded to comb through her fur. "Pika~chu pi pika pi chu pika pika chu". (There's only a toilet and sink and we need toothbrushes.)
"Did you remember to flush?" Noticing a soap bubble stuck to the back of her head. She felt the urge to pop it.
"Pika". ("Yeah"). Nodding her head in confirmation. Pikapi pi Pikachu pichu pipi chu ("We need a bath, we still smell like the cupboard").
"Do we? I can't smell anything. It has been a while since we bathed, so I'll believe you." Harry sniffed at her hair. "Yeah never mind my hair is gross."
"Pika-pi!" ("Hello!") Daisy waved toward the door. "Pipi pikapi pichu pikachu?" ("Are you are roommates?")
Harry looked over there; at the door from her bed, was two boys with short hair the taller one had mousy hair colour. Behind them was a woman that had the same hair colour as the one in the wheelchair. The smallest one was in a wheelchair with a full leg cast, had light blond hair. What were they staring at?
"Pi-Pi-Pikachu!" The younger one yelped pointing at Daisy. Oh never mind. "Is that a real Pikachu?!"
"Uh-huh her names Daisy. She's my best friend. She asked if your our roommates and hello."
"Only I am; my name is Dennis, Dennis Creevy I'm seven years old, this my big brother Colin he's eight and my mom."
"I'm Harry Potter and I am nine." She croaked out throat stinging.
"Colin stop staring, and say hi." Dennis elbowed his brother. Rolling into the room towards the bed across from her.
"How is that possible?! Pokemon are not real?!" Dennis covered his face with his hands when his mom blurted the words out.
"Moooom your supposed to say hello. Not that..." Dennis hopped on one foot to the bedside and pulled himself up. "Brother stop staring it's rude."
"What do you mean possible? Anything is possible and of course, Pokémon are real. Daisy is proof isn't she?"
"But it's a Pokémon~... Where did it come from?" Dennis' mom seemed to whimper and demand at the same time.
Well~... Pokémon are hatched from eggs, Pikachu is a mouse pokèmon. Who is the evolution of Pichu, a baby pokèmon? So Daisy came from a baby mouse."
"That's not what I mean." There Mom's face flushed red from embarrassment and her arms crossed over her chest. "It's a large animal why hasn't anybody found one before."
"I just found Daisy one day and that's all I really know". Harry said bluntly since it was the truth or partly.
Colin seemed to have rebooted with that sentence. If that noise he made at the back of his throat was any indication.
"I guess... people have found new species every day. Sorry about that I was shocked and my brain froze. My name as is Agatha and I hope you and my sons become friends in the week my Dennis is here." She stuck out her hand. "I didn't expect to find my sons' obsession sharing a room."
"I hope we can become friends too." Harry clasped hands with her with a smile.
"Can I a picture! I mean if that's okay with Ummm Daisy and you." Dennis blurted out, his eyes seemed to have stars in them. He pulled out a camera from his bag. "Oh please please pleeeease."
"I guess so Daisy seems fine with it."
Harry chatted with them until Colin left and Dennis fell asleep from the pain medication.
Harry's eyes started to slip until the last waking moment was Daisy curling up under her arm beside her rib cage.
"Harry, you need to wake up,"
Harry opened her eyes to stare at the doctor before her. "W-who?"
"It's me, Dr Nicholas, remember." He said as he sat down on a chair. Harry nods as her brain clears up the fog of sleep. "I guess you have a lot of questions and you probably didn't get any answers yet."
Harry watched him comb through with his hand. "I guess I should start with where you are. You're at Aisling hospital for children. The main hospital is a permanent and part-time residency for ill kids. We also deal with emergencies, outpatients, house calls and particular cases."
He unfolded a map pointing at a circle in the top centre of a large green patch. "As you see we are on the Thames river. The hospital area itself is seven floors high. Floor seven is the last medical floor. With three floors above for offices and meeting rooms labelled by E1-E3. Then there are three basement floors for emergency It is in the shape similar to a hexagon with two sides inverted." Dr Nicholas flipped the map over that showed the hospital in a top and side view.
"The other floor names are forest, plains, mountain, river, sea, tundra and oasis and Floor M1-M3. Forest is the smallest floor by rooms with forty-eight rooms. Everyone on this floor lives here full time except Dennis who accidentally vanished his Tibia. Their parents live at the northern end of the lot." He pointed to a patch of semi circles against a creek.
"That means I live here too?"
"Yes, it does."
"What's wrong with me?"
Nicholas sighed. "Beyond what you were subjected to at the Dursley's house. Which we are addressing since you came to here. You have to stay off your legs until we get you a pair of leg braces. I can't stress this enough no walking till then."
"What's wrong with them, is that why they hurt sometimes?"
"You have various legs breaks that never healed over completely. The bone between the breaks is extremely soft much like cartilage in your ears. All the moving you were made to do never let them heal completely and harden. It's also in your upper left arm and right forearm. It is an easy fix it just takes a lot of time." He explained bluntly.
"There's also the internalized problems. We don't know what it is, but your body's internal cells seem to be in a constant state of fluctuation or change. You developed a second nervous system and it's responding to stimulation but we don't know the source. You have full sized extra organs. Your metabolism seems to change at an extreme rate which is why you have two iv bags connected, one filled with nutrients for the sudden acceleration. Your heartbeat suddenly drops even when you are awake, but it doesn't seem to cause you ill effects at the moment. "
"Am I an alien? Maybe I just look human."
"No no, not at all. You are perfectly human." Nicholas waved away Harry's panicked look. "That is another thing we found out who your parents are. Which will be explained when your family's executor comes tomorrow. Along with any procedures, the hospital has to do. For now, you need to stay off your legs if you have to use the bathroom push the call button."
"O.k...My parents weren't drunkards at all were they". She didn't have to ask, not really. She could feel it in her very core. 'Petunia always got a gleeful look in her eyes when she said that.'
"No, they weren't if anything they were the complete opposite." He answered as he stepped out. Leaving her to digest the info in peace.
She felt numb much like when Dudley locked her outside during a snowstorm when she was three. Or after scrubbing the floors past the point of pain. Tears dropped from her eyes, she couldn't stop them no matter how hard she rubbed. A tissue appeared in front of her face. "Thanks, Daisy."
Harry ate even if she didn't taste it. She did have to get a nurse to take her to the bathroom to wash up. Which will always be embarrassing. They got new toothbrushes and a hospital gown to wear that snapped up on the left side and the nape of the neck (It looked like a really twirly dress). She didn't even notice when Dennis came back. All she could think was 'My parents were not drunks.' and 'What else is a lie?' She had a rough night's sleep.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
The next day
Harry's eyes blinked at the light and the noise of the hospital. 'Where am I? Oh yeah, …hospital right. Sitting up and pulling the blanket off revealing Daisy. Looking across from her was Dennis sprawled out like a starfish. Hearing a trolley rolling down the hall with stops she guessed it was breakfast time. Looking over the pamphlet for the t.v.
"Think we should watch the news?" Pokemon wasn't on at the moment.
"Pika." ("Yeah.")
Grabbing the remote from the drawer she switched it on.
-Good morning, It's going to be a sunny day for everyone. Later in the day temperatures will reach the mid-twenties across the board, with the chance of low thirties at noon. In the late afternoon, there's a chance of a light drizzle starting in northern Scotland. It will drift past to lower England by this evening.-
"I wonder if they'll let us outside later? The weather is nice enough." Harry wondered out loud as she flicked through channels.
-In other news a video that is catching the country's attention. It was sent anonymously to various news stations two days ago. Of what it seems to be a Pikachu from a popular children's show called Pokèmon. It looks to be filmed in a hospital as you can tell from the surroundings. Now I don't know about you but my kids are glued to the television when this show comes on. So I find it hard to believe that a cartoon animal is real.-
-Yes, but the proof is right on the screen. That this animal is no longer just a cartoon. The thing that I want to know is; what did you call it, Pikachu is doing in a hospital. Who does it belong to? Because you can clearly see in the video, that it has no fear of the humans as it walked around.-
-I might have a clue to that one. In a town called Surry, a similar animal was seen running from a pair of cops. Now if this is the same thing I don't know. What I do know is emergency vehicles were seen driving to that area soon after. It was later reported on the local news that a young child was sent to the hospital for intensive care. A group of minors and a pair of adults were arrested that same day. Their names have not been released as of yet.-
-So this kid has a Pikachu, from what I gathered from reading these papers it can shoot electricity from its body. Who lets a child keep something so dangerous. Shouldn't someone have separated them before a person gets hurt.-
-It hasn't done any harm, Dogs and cats are dangerous but we still keep them. How are we supposed to separate them keep the animal in a giant plastic hamster ball? Let them keep it I say.-
-Cats and dogs don't shoot out lighting bolts.-
-They can still attack you. Heck, feral dogs are known to form packs and chase humans. Pokèmon are depicted as being much more intelligent than the average animal. No one knows if it can shoot out lightning bolts. It clearly is staying with the kid so leave them be.-
-That's only a show, we don't know how it will act in real life. It -

"Pika pikapi pikachu pipi chu". (That could have gone way worse.)
"You got that right". Not understanding why people thought they could stick their noses in others lives.
When breakfast was said and done (Cereal and a chocolate milk), Dennis was fully awake and in a chair. Daisy was sufficiently freaked out by him watching her. It was then that a different nurse came to do her rounds.
"Good Morning you two (Pika!), sorry you three. I just have to check your monitors, then you Dennis can go down to the Oasis floor." Dennis was out there faster then Matilda could cross the room. "We haven't met yet, my name's Matilda and I'll be taking you to floor eight to talk with your family executor". She told me as she replaced my bags. "Give me a minute and I'll have your wheelchair."
Getting in she was pushed towards the elevators. Daisy walking beside us. "So is there anything you want to do today?"
"Can I go outside and have a shower?"
"That should be doable, you'll have to stay on the patio and paths nearby. You have an hour for the showers at one so that's no problem either. I have to know where did you find a Pikachu of all things?"
"I found Daisy in a trap when she was small." They stepped onto the elevator.
"Really, was she mean to you?"
"Not really, she bit me a few times but that was because she was scared. I just sort of grabbed her, so I think I deserved those."
"I guess she would be frightened I know I would be, having a giant hand grab me. Oh~, I think we made her mad." Daisy walked ahead with her nose tilted to the sky and tail straight up. "Yep, we sure did." Matilda laughed.
Harry laughed at the picture Daisy made like an insulted aristocrat. Daisy stopped at the door with a sniff. "Here we are," Matilda opened the door and wheeled her in. "I'm here with Harry Potter."
"Thank you, Matilda I'll take her back downstairs." Matilda left quickly. "Harry this is your parent's will executor and accountant from Gringotts."
"It nice to meet you, ma'am". Harry's whispered. She really wishes her throat would heal faster.
"It good to finally meet you heiress Harriette. My name is Talon. Even if they're under such circumstances as James and Lily Potter death".
"Harriette? But my name is Harry?" Daisy hid underneath the wheelchair, shivering.
"Am I hearing that you don't know your own name?" It wasn't a question her voice turned icy. "Your full name is Harriette Heather Peverell-Potter.
"Peverell? Who is that? What is Gringotts?"
"The Peverell line is the main line of your family tree, that the Potter's are a branch off of. You are the descendant of Ignotus Peverell the youngest brother of the original three. As tradition dictates the oldest female heir takes up the title of heiress Peverell. Also as the heir apparent of the Potter line, you will take up the mantle of Lady Potter when you come of age. Since you are heir you are to be formally addressed as Heiress Peverell-Potter."
"What do you mean heiress?" Harry, er, Harriette was more confused then that time when she hit the back of her head and all she could see was monochrome.
"As the heiress, as I have said once you come of age you will become a Lady. This means you will be responsible for all lands and properties that are under your family name. As well the updating and keeping of any business owned by your family.
"And Gringotts?" Dr Nicholas shared a look with Talon.
"What I am going to tell you must be kept with utmost secrecy. It must not be told to anyone who doesn't know." Talon looked over her glasses.
"Y-yes Ma'am. I understand." Harriette felt a chill go down her, Talon face to her seemed suddenly to sharp, too angular to be normal. She was jealous of Daisy for hiding.
"Gringotts is a wizarding bank that is run and owned by goblins. It's on the North side of Diagon Alley that's where most of the magic shopping is done in London.
"So that means my parents and I are, magic." Seeing Talon nod Harriette felt an easement on her mind when her rough theory was proven correct. 'Petunia was wrong. I'm not a freak. I'm Magic.'
"Yes, now pertaining to your vaults." Talon had her pair of glasses vanish off her face. "I'm guessing with certainty that you never got your account keys."
"No Ma'am. I didn't know I even had a vault".
"Then all previous keys will be nulled and voided and if any transactions have taken place since your parent's death will be collected with interest." She scowled.
Harriette was thinking she had no other expression. "Sign here, and here to approve." Talon handed her a long white quill and a thick piece of paper.
Harriette read over the paper that said that she approved of discontinuing the older keys and to collect the unapproved transactions with interest.
"There will be a will reading with your guardian's permission. Since he's incapable of being available it will be released to the public at 10:00 tomorrow. As is Gringotts policy. All their worldly possessions are left to you in their vaults; except a fixed sum to be sent to other bequests, which you will be able to access on your eleventh birthday. At the moment you can only use your trust vault."
Harriette (she will have to get used to that) could tell she simplified things for her. "Thank-you, is there anything I should be worried about?"
"Yes, your family bands which if you're able to put them on. The family magic will accept you as the heiress of the family."
"What's family magic?" Harriette asked before putting on the two bands.
"That is not something I have the ability to tell you about. That is your families personal matter." Talon said stiffly. "Make sure it's on your dominant hand."
Pushing two sealed boxes towards her, they were a warm night black. Harriette pulled them across the table and flipped open the lids. Inside were two bands that looked like bangles. They seemed to be made of a metal that had an inner glow. When she picked them up they didn't feel like metal it felt like water yet there was no give. They were neither heavy or light, she couldn't pinpoint the colour of them either being all of them yet clear.
Harriette slipped them on her right hand and stiffened in her seat. It felt like countless threads and tiny beads were going across every cell in her body. Like finely toothed pick was pulling apart her very being and examining each bit. Worse of all it felt like something licked her very soul then place it back. In other words, it was the most mortifying minute of her life. She hoped she never has to do that again.
"It took. If there is nothing else, you will be owled if anything comes up." She said getting up. "If this meeting is finished, I have things to do." She proceeded to make a swift exit.
"Dr Nicholas can Daisy and I go outside today?" Harriette didn't really care at the moment what amount of money she had. It didn't change the fact she now lived at the hospital or the fact she had a guardian somewhere out there who couldn't take her.
"I see no problem with that." Nicholas fidgeted with the box on his belt. "Matilda's going to be here in a minute to show how to get there. Do you want me to stay until then?"
"I should be fine Dr Nicholas. Um, what did she mean by I will be owled?" She smiled, they're going outside. Grabbing the wheel rim she slowly moved her way forwards.
"The magical society's most common way to send post is by an Owl." Dr Nicholas explained. "I know it sounds weird but that has been the way for centuries."
"Pika pi pikachu..." (She wasn't human...). Daisy's tail was wrapped around her body and ears were pressed against her skull. She jumped into Harriette's arms quaking. "Pikapika pi pikachu pika pi chu". (Dangerous, would have killed us).
"Dangerous? Daisy, what do you mean not human?" Harriette really did not want to know. Maybe Talon was a goblin but she didn't look like it, not at all.
"Illusion".
"Harry there you are. What's wrong?" Matilda asked walking up to her.
"Daisy says that Mrs Talon is dangerous." Harriette looked up at her.
"Dangerous, how?"
"Daisy said could have killed us."
"Then it's a good thing that you don't have to see her for a while." Matilda looked a little grey. They both nodded rapidly at that. She seemed to gain more colour in their response.
"So I'm showing you where the courtyard is, right? First thing is when you get to any of the elevators you push the M3 button." Matilda showed Harriette what she meant as they went along. "Then when you exit the elevator you want to turn right and follow the signs that say courtyard. Take another right and you'll end up at the Midnight Sun Cafe which doesn't open until nine. There are Two sets of doors the automatic ones are in front of Midnight Sun Cafe. Ta-dah! You are now outside. Now can you stay out here by yourself or do you want me to have to stay?."
"I'll be fine by myself ma'am. Thank you for showing me how to get here." Waving back as she left she looked around. Lots of trees, and bushes in a triangle without points.
'Now to forget about the disturbing sensational that the bracelets gave her.'
She rolled across the bricked courtyard when Daisy suddenly jumped off an run into a bush.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
(Harriette's pov)
"Pika Pi!" (Found something!) Daisy yelled. Rolling as close to the bush as I could I proceed to lock the brakes. Making sure in don't disconnect the heart monitor or I.V I eased between the bushes. "Pika pikachu.." (It's hurt). Daisy walked holding an injured bird.
"I think it's a pigeon?" Handling it carefully when it was passed to her, she sat down. "Maybe the doctors can help..."
"Pikapi pichu," (Why don't you) Daisy said. "Pikachu pika pikapi" (You made me better).
"Me?! I can't do that I don't know how."
"Pika-chu pichu. Pichu pikapika chu." (Sure you do. You just have to try.)
Daisy looks so sure of me, I guess I could give it a try. 'A pidgy, a perfectly healthy Pidgy.' Taking a deep breath thinking about what it looked like with brown and cream colours.
The silence stretched on, her eyebrows furrowed. She began thinking of all its moves and what it will evolve into as it gets stronger.
'A pidgy' White heat seemed to spread through her as she focused on the pokèmon she wanted. It felt like the sun sent a wave of summer heat mid-winter. Weight increased on her lap and she swore she saw a glow behind her eyelids.
The heat washed away leaving her cold and aching. "Prriii" her eyes snapped open, there on her lap was a groggy Pidgy. Half the size from before.
"Hi there Pidgy, how are you feeling?" she patted down it? his feathers.
"P-prii? Prriii gii..." (M-me? Tired soo...). Pidgy drift to sleep.
I watched him scared if he was going to die. He just continued to sleep. I took a few deep breathes and walked out of the bushes. Flopping into my wheelchair I placed Pidgy on my lap, I laughed. 'I did it I purposely made a pokemon.'
"I guess you have a friend to play with now Daisy," I said as she came out of the bush. "Let's go inside its almost time for lunch." I unlocked the wheels and spun around. Daisy jumped onto my shoulder and I started pushing us back to my room.
By the time Harriette got to her room her arms were numb and Pidgy was waking up. Thankfully they didn't miss lunch. Vegetable soup and two ham sandwiches they seem to have extra. Lucky.
Harriette fed pieces of ham and vegetables to the Pidgy. It seemed to help him wake up, soon he perched on the bed sidebar.
"Harry I brought towels and soap for the shower." Matilda stopped. "Hello, who might you be little bird?" Matilda asked as she placed down the towels.
"That's Pidgy, Daisy found him outside."
"Well, he adorable is he full grown?"
"No, he's only half the size of a full-grown Pidgy." Harriette told her happy to share what she learned with Bao.
"Well let me disconnect you and you three enjoy your shower." Matilda busied herself unhooking the wires on her back. "Once you're done I'll reattach them and bring a comb and brush so you can do your hair."
Harry wheeled out of the room and down the hall to the shower. Opening the door to a two-part room she pulled herself out of her wheelchair and onto the seat. She pushed the wheelchair to the other side of the shower door and shut it.
"Let me fix the temperature then you guys can bath okay." , Harriette says as she fiddles with the shower knobs. Getting them the right temperature she started scrubbing her hair. (The suds were a light grey. Gross.) Looking over Daisy was literally a giant suds pile and Pidgy was fluffed up and splashing in the pooling water.
'Wait why is Pidgy raising his wings.' Harriette's eyes opened wide 'Oh No!' "Pidgy No St-!" The shower stall became a giant washer on spin cycle.

Matilda walked into the breakroom. "Dr Nicholas, Harry brought in a Pidgy."
"A what?" He looked up. "A pigeon?"
"A Pidgy, a type of bird pokèmon. She got it from the courtyard." She corrected him as she eased into a chair. "It evolves into a five-foot bird."
"Oh boy, I'm glad this land is warded against magic detection." He chugged the rest of his coffee. "Who had the bet for a bird pokèmon?"
"Yes! What was it?" A voice cheerfully called from the other side of the room.
"A Pidgy." Nicholas slumped into the seat. "You know when Mary said a kid had a Pokèmon, I didn't think she was serious I was thinking of maybe a rabbit with a dye job or something. The kid had a Horcrux in her scar."
"You mean has right."
"Nope, the thing ruptured at the hospital. There goes Britain's most famous scar."
"You mean the-boy-who-lived?"
"Nope, its the-girl-who-lived named Harriette. They mixed up the genders, pureblood morons." He laughed. "They would never think a girl could survive that."
"So what happens when she turns eleven? They'll take her to that thrice-cursed school of theirs."
"No letter that's for sure. Its addressed to a boy named Harry, not a little girl named Harriette. They're already scrambling looking for a black haired boy with a zed on his face." Matilda snorted. "Harriette has red hair and a silver lighting burns in the shape of a camellia flower. Dumb-bee's little blood ward and trackers are gone; when her heart stopped for 5 minutes."
"I know that no one here is saying anything. If they want to abandon all muggle raised magicals. Then why the hell should we give them a child, they already abandoned." Another doctor ranted. A round of cheers was the reply.
"What is with the Pokèmon. I mean I know my Transfiguration, I mean I got my international masters. This isn't anywhere close. Its like she used all the organic materials, melted them to there base forms and built from scratch."
"Like a caterpillar to a butterfly."
"Yes! Exactly like a blasted butterfly. I'm not sure it can be classified as magic anymore..."
"Well whatever it is, it makes the kid happy and keeps her stabilized, so let her make her Pokèmon." They nod at that. "I have been wondering how did you guys make the news station stop showing the videos."
"They still are showing them but, a lot of favours and paying off a very good magical hacker from Ireland. The videos can't be seen out of the UK if it does whatever showing it will crash in a few seconds."
"What happens now? So Harriette keeps making pokèmon and we hide her from the wizarding Britain. What do we do with the Pokèmon?"
"Well make a PokèCenter of course." A groggy voice pipped up from a corner couch.
"Go to sleep Jacob, you sleep deprived fruit bat. You just want to be a Pokèmon trainer." Laughter and chatter echoed out of the room.

Do The Time Warp Again

Harriette combed through her damp hair in a new hospital gown. Pidgy was completely dry except his head. Daisy was the picture of fluffiness. They were bored.
"Harry there you are I was lo- Woah you got a Pidgy! That's so cool." Dennis gushed out. "When did you get it."
"I got him this morning when Daisy and I went to the courtyard by the cafe. Daisy found him in a bush." Harriette shrugged her shoulders. Her hair was growing out. She liked it.
"Tomorrow afternoon can we go look, oh, can my brother can come too."
"Sure it will be fun. We'll get your starter pokèmon, two Pidgy or if we're lucky something else. Do you guys want to help?" Harriette asked Daisy and Pidgy.
"Pika! / Priige!" (Yes! / Yes!).
"Guess that settles it tomorrow your getting your first Pokèmon." Harriette wore a matching grin to Dennis.

(Early next morning)
"Julia can I go down to the courtyard, please."
"So early, does this have to do with what Dennis was giggling about?"
"Maaybe, don't tell him I told you please."
"Okay let me check your IV then you can go."
"Thank-you Miss Julia." Harriette and her duo quickly went to the elevator. "I'll be back before lunch."
"Ha! I'm so winning that free lunch, Andrew."
