Harry entered the Great Hall only to be surprised that a certain girl and boy sitting at the teacher's table. He stared as he watched them talk and laugh with each other.
"Ron! Ron!" Harry whispered as he sat down.
"Wa its it Arry?" Ron said from behind mouthfuls of toast and eggs.
"Look! It's the two we saw yesterday. I wonder if their teaching this year?"
"Maybe their teaching that new class-"However, Ron was cut off by the swooshing of owls ahead, dropping parcels and letters. Ron's owl, Errol, crashed into Hermione's breakfast, holding a red envelope.
"Oh, no!" he groaned," a Howler!"
Harry didn't know what a Howler was, but as soon as Ron opened it, he wished he'd brought earplugs. Mrs. Weasley's voice rang in the Great Hall and echoed down the halls. Harry was sure everyone in Hogwarts could hear it.
"-CAR GONE, LETTER FROM DUMBLEDORE! THOUGHT YOUR FATHER WAS GOING TO DIE FROM SHAME!-"It screamed.
Finally, after many ear tearing lectures, it busted into flames and was gone. Ron was almost under the table and looked as though he would die from embarrassment. Harry looked up and saw the girl giggling a little from the staff table. The boy elbowed her and she stopped laughing, and began talking to him again.
After many had finished breakfast, Dumbledore rose to his feet and spoke. "Good Morning. To those who don't remember or weren't here to join us last night," Harry was sure he saw Dumbledore look their way," we have a new subject this year. They are taught by two new teachers. Professor Ruby." The boy stood up and there was several swoons from the girls, "and Professor Sapphire." The girl stood up and waved happily. There was a wolf whistle from one of the tables," we hope you treat these two with utmost respect as you would any teacher, and help them adjust to here from their home country of Hoen. That is all."
"Harry," Hermione said," we got the new subject first!"
"Your right! It's on the grounds too, by the Forbidden Forest. We better go." And with Ron joining them, they walked off toward the grounds.
They were surprised to see not just their House, but groups of first years from all four Houses. Sadly, that included the Slytherins and Malfoy. He was talking to some first-years and made imitations of the Howler when they walked by.
"Alright! It seems you're all here. Looks like we can start! I'm Professor Ruby as you heard, but please, call me Ruby." The Professor said calmly. "Now! Does anyone know what we are teaching?"
Nobody said anything and was surprised that, for once, Hermione's hand wasn't in the air.
"…Right, I forgot that you guys don't know anything. Alright, I'm probably going to sound like Professor Birch, but we are going to study creatures called Pokémon. We are going to study many branches of Pokeology ,and have a lot of ground to cover before exams-" the class groaned at this word, "-so no misbehaving!" he added quickly. Ruby looked around," Any questions?"
Hermione's hand shot up like a rocket," Please sir, what is a Pokémon?"
Many students mumbled in agreement.
"Well, they come in many different shapes, colors, and forms; I could show you one of mine, only if you guys REALLY want to see it." He added.
At hearing this, many of the students looked up interested. He smiled a little. Good, they've taken the bait!
"Please sir."
"Alright! Stand back!" he commanded as he pulled out a shiny red and white ball. The class backed away a few feet, eager to see the creature.
"Come on out, Swampert!" A mini explosion sound was heard, and a burst of white light erupted from inside the ball. When the light left, there sat a monster. It was easily the height of an adult human and looked like a mudfish that evolved to the land. It was blue with orange cheeks, and had dark blue fins on top of its head, complete with yellow eyes. Harry and many others looked at it with awe. Others, however, seemed to have gotten a bit scared and one was of course Malfoy. He flushed," How do they let you keep that-"he threw a look at the beast,"-thing here? It's repulsive! What if it decides to eat us? Father's going to hear-"
But he never got a chance to speak his words. He seemed to have offended the Pokémon, which growled and picked him up as if he was air. Malfoy screamed when he looked eye to eye with it.
"Put me down, you filthy beast!" Malfoy yelled.
This seemed to be the wrong approach as it looked even angrier then it was before. It hung him in a tree and began to spray water at him until he began to scream again once more.
Ruby chuckled, "That's enough, put him down."
And to Harry's disbelief, it obeyed without question.
"Have you learned your lesson?" Ruby asked.
"Are you insane? That thing nearly killed me, and YOU did nothing about it!" Malfoy yelled and jabbed his finger at Ruby," My father is going to hear about this!" He didn't notice that Swampert was growling behind him.
"Oh, so the cry baby is going to get his father to boot me because of something YOU did? Please, go cry me a river." Ruby snapped back.
It seemed Malfoy couldn't take it anymore. He was red out of anger and embarrassment and decided to do the unthinkable: to hit a teacher. But before his fist could reach Ruby, something else caught him. Malfoy looked up in horror at the terrifying Pokémon that was crushing his hand. Some sickening crunches were heard.
"Make it stop! Please, I beg you! He's crushing my hand!" Malfoy screamed in pain, with tears rolling down, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just make it stop!"
Ruby didn't look convinced but, called off Swampert only because it was breaking Malfoy's hand. Although it took a few calls for Swampert to let go this time.
"Pathetic. Letting your feelings control you!" Ruby spat, becoming angrier by the second, until he was as terrifying as Swampert," I hope you learned a lesson from this! And you better learn your place, or I can't guarantee you'll get out of this lesson alive!" he said with a wild smile.
Malfoy could only whimper and weep, clutching his destroyed hand with his only good one.
"You two!" he barked, pointing at Crabbe and Goyle," take him to the hospital wing, and get him out of my sight! NOW!" They moved quicker then Harry had ever seen them move before, halfway stumbling in fear.
To the rest of them, Ruby gave a sharp, "Class dismissed!" and walked into the Forbidden Forest with the great Pokémon lumbering behind him.
They soon saw Sapphire riding on some sort of bug/dragon thing. She was smiling.
"Sorry I'm late! I got lost and-"She stopped and looked around. "Hey where's Ruby?"
One of the Hufflepuffs shakily pointed into the forest,"H-he w-went that way-y P-professor."
Sapphire didn't seem to be so cheery anymore, and Harry thought he heard her swear.
"Let's go, Flygon!" An in a flash, she was gone. The bell rang shortly after and the students discussed in hushed whispers what just happened. Ron tried saying something, but all it came out were sputters.
They were silent until they reached Defense Against the Dark Arts, where they saw Mr. Egoheart teaching the class. What really surprised him was that Sapphire and Ruby were sitting at the back. Ruby had a bored, emotionless look on his face; completely opposite from earlier today where he'd scared the living daylights out of Malfoy and most of his class. Sapphire was a different story; she had a cheery, delighted expression on. Harry noticed that most of the class tried to stay as far away from the back as possible; it seemed that the lesson drama passed around quickly. Harry felt a twinge of sympathy; he knew what it was like to be alone, thanks to the Dursley's. He sat in front of the duo as Ron took his seat next to Harry, and Seamus and Dean took their seats in front of them.
"Welcome, to Defense Against the Dark Arts. It is my job to train you against the foulest creatures known to man!" Lockhart said with a wink, "but first, a little test to see how well you read my books."
It turned out that the test were just questions about Lockhart himself. Unbelievable, Harry thought. He looked over to see how the others were doing. Ron just stared at his, while Hermione worked feverously to complete hers. He turned around and saw that Ruby was writing this is pointless for every question, and then drew a picture of some sort of spiked, land crawfish thing on a rock island in the middle of a lava lake and began coloring it red. Sapphire was drawing a deep blue sea with a blue whale/fish creature. She also added a smiling sun in the corner.
"Times up!" Lockhart said with a smile. "Let's see…" his smile faltered for a moment. Harry could tell he'd either seen Ruby's or Sapphire's paper. Most likely Ruby's, Harry thought. He was proven right when Lockhart cleared his throat and said,"…Mr. Ruby, what is this…thing?"
He showed the class the drawing with this is pointless written all over the questions.
Ruby simply answered with, "It's a drawing and the answers to my test."
Harry heard Dean and Seamus snort with laughter.
"And WHY have you written this?"
"Because it's my answer. This is pointless." Ruby looked at the drawing," And that THING, you so well put, is one of the most powerful creature known to mankind." He said this in a quiet but very serious tone.
Harry could see Lockhart thinking but he just smiled again (Ugh) and told Ruby not to draw in his class.
"My job, as you know," he said," is to train you against the world's most dangerous and dark creatures known to mankind. Behold!" He took of the long black cloak from the top of a cage. There were dozens of electric blue creatures buzzing around the cage, hissing and making rude gestures to Lockhart.
"These are Cornish Pixies, now, let's see how you guys deal with them, shall we?" And just like that, he opened the cage door.
It was complete chaos and, after losing his wand when the bell rang, Lockhart gave Harry, Ron, and Hermione the joy of caging and cleaning up after the pixies. Ruby and Sapphire helped clean up, muttering curse words and saying," The next time he decides to do ANYTHING, give him a moron test."
The next morning, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down to see that Sapphire was here today. She was beaming at the students in front of her, with Ruby and Malfoy glaring at each other.
"Alright! This month we will be teaching you about the diet of Pokémon. Can anyone guess the natural food source of Pokémon?" Sapphire asked.
A kid in the back raised their hand, much to everyone's shock.
"I-is it f-fruit-t?" stuttered the little Hufflepuff girl.
"Correct! Many Pokémon eat berries, though some eat other Pokémon!" She excitedly said," there are many types of berries. Some restore health and energy, while others cure poison, raise friendship, and some are just tasty! As a little project, we will each hand you a berry. In ten days, you'll need three things to be done: first, you will need to plant and grow them, second, you will write a two page paper on your berries effects and characteristics, and lastly, you will feed your berry to an animal or yourself. And NO bewitching them. Any questions?"
Hermione raised her hand," I thought this was going to be about Pokémon?"
"Good question! To know a Pokémon's diet and needs is necessary or how else are you going to feed them? Or enter Contests?"
And so, they both pulled out a large sack and gave many multicolored berries to everyone. Hermione got a pink one in a triangular shape, Ron got a gold grape looking one, and Harry got a blue speckled one in the shape of a circle.
"Well this ought to be interesting," Ron said dully.
Harry saw something flying in the sky…and it was getting closer! Sapphire seemed to notice this, and waved at it. A huge bird landed down with a letter, and flew like a rocket when Sapphire took the letter.
"Thanks Pidgeot!" she called as she opened the letter. However, her smile fell when she finished. With a sigh, she called Ruby over, handing him the letter. He sighed and began talking under his breath. The bell rang in the distance.
"Class dismissed!"
In the common room, Harry and Ron discussed the events that morning.
"What was with that bird? It was humongous!" Ron exclaimed.
"Maybe it's their version of an owl?" Harry wondered.
" It was carrying a letter, so I guess." Ron answered.
"Don't you wonder what was in the letter Ron? I saw their faces and I'm sure you did too! Maybe Malfoy got the ministry to boot them?" Harry said while looking at his berry.
"I dunno. Maybe something happened in their home country? Like their parents are sick?"
They kept this up all night until they went to bed.
How did you guys like it? I tried making this one longer. Sorry if my paragraphs are smashed, it seems that my spaces go away when I upload! Also, does anybody know the names of all three berries I gave the trio? If you get it right, I'll give you…..um…something! Yay! Review?
Eevee out!
