Chapter 2: Visit

"Fisk, where are you? Don't make me use my Kur powers to sense you..." Zak said as he was searching Fisk with Komodo. Komodo growled.

"Man, he is good with hide-and-seek." Zak incidentally bumped onto Doyle.

"Hey, Uncle Doyle, have you seen Fisk around?"

"Nope, never seen him."

"I'll pay you 5 bucks to tell me where is he." Zak whispered.

"Deal." Doyle took the 5 bucks and put it into his pocket. "Whatever you do," he shouted. "Don't look at the torch closet." Then he winked at Zak. Zak knew exactly where to find Fiskerton.

He crept towards the torch closet and stood outside of it. "I'll just—" he wanted to say 'not to look at the torch closet' but Drew continued his sentence. "—stop playing and hurry to the living room."

"But mum, I just got a chance to catch Fisk..."

"No buts. Now go. We have a serious problem."

Zak moved to the living room. "You too, Fiskerton."

"Awww..." Fisk came out from the closet and moved too.

They reach the living room where Doc and Doyle were talking to Dr. Cheechoo at the screen. "Hey, Dr. Cheechoo." Zak greeted.

"Oh, hi, Zak." Cheechoo replied. "Now as I was saying, please do that for the sake of the cryptids."

"We will. Don't worry your butts off, dude." Doyle said.

"I hope so." Cheechoo was out.

"What's going on?" Zak asked with curiosity.

"There's a report of Nagas attacking—" Doc was interrupted by Zak.

"Where? If it's those Nagas again, I'll pulverize them this time."

"I'm not done yet, Zak."

"Sorry."

"As I was saying, a Naga was found missing at England in a school called—what was that again, Drew?"

"I can't recall that name either."

"Hogwarts. The school is Hogwarts." Answered an unfamiliar tone. They turned around, surprised to find an old man about 60-70 years old with white hair and long white beard standing behind them. He wore a light blue cloak, a cap and a pair of spectacles.

"Who are you?" Doc asked. "And how do you get here?"

"I apologize for entering your house without any permission. I'm Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. I am pleased to meet you."

"Wait—did you just said witchcraft and wizardry?" Doyle asked.

"Yes. I did. Hogwarts is a school that teaches talented and gifted Muggles which have magic powers within them."

"Whoa."

"I'm Doc Saturday, this are my family, Drew, Doyle, Zak, Fiskerton, Komodo and Zon. We're pleased to meet you too."

"Yes, of course. I see that you have already known the situation."

Doc nodded. "Did Minister of Magic send you here?"

"Wait, wait, wait. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?" Zak asked.

Albus looked down at Zak. "My boy, you have a gift within you. A very special one. And now I'll answer your question. A creature you Muggles call 'cryptids' had attacked our school and injured a few of my students."

"Are they alright then?"

"Fortunately, yes. There are witnesses saying snake-like creatures attacked the students. Are you familiar with them?"

"Yup. They're called Nagas. Ancient serpents that lived with dark magic." Drew replied.

"Do you perhaps know what caused the incident?"

"Unfortunately, yes. We too received the same reports about them."

"One of them was perhaps missing in your school so they attacked your school to find their ally."

"Ally?"

"Yes."

"We did not involve in any kidnapping with Nagas."

"We were still in investigation, Mr. Dumbledore. We assure you that the secret scientists will solve this mystery." Drew said.

"In any way, I think that it's time for Zak to go to school." Doc said.

Zak was shocked. "What? S-s-school? You're joking, right?" Doc showed him the I-am-so-not-joking-and-take-it-seriously face. Zak gulped.

"But—"

"Zak, what is your aim?"

"To save cryptids."

"Right, cryptids. Then the one who's missing is a cryptid?"

"Fine, I'll go."

Doc turned to Albus. "If you won't mind, we would like to send our boy to your school for investigations. But of course, he will be disguised as a student there."

"It would be nice to have a new student since the school is going to enroll for more. Come, I'll show you the school." Albus pulled out his wand and cast a spell. Then the whole family disappeared into thin air.

The next place Zak found himself was on top of a cliff, which had a beautiful lake as its neighbour. He turned around to see all his family there too with him. Albus was just beside him.

"Umm... old man, I ain't see any school around here." Doyle said.

Albus pointed towards a huge castle-like building in front of them, on top of a high cliff. "That's Hogwarts. Welcome to Hogwarts, Zak."
