Frost here with chapter six of Harry Potter and the Pokémon: Book 1. Okay first, I would like to apologize for the long wait. I hit a long period of writers block on my other stories (which I'm still not completely over), and I honestly forgot that this chapter had been finished. I thought that this chapter was partially done, and I didn't feel like writing more on it for quite some time...only to later realize that this had been finished for quite some time. Again, I'm sorry about the delay. In addition, I apologize for the short chapter...

Now once more, I only own my original characters.

Chapter 6: Hogsmede and DA

It was the first weekend I didn't have homework to grade, and it was a Hogsmede weekend. That meant I was gone. Lucario, Jess, and I headed down to Hogsmede early in the day, heading straight to the Hogs Head. I had heard the headmasters brother ran the place. Entering, we saw a couple of people were there, but it was mostly empty. Walking up to the bar I said, "Three butterbeers please."

The barkeeper nodded, "Six sickles."

I passed him the silver coins and he handed me three mugs of the brew. Taking a seat against the wall, I passed the other two their drinks. "Cheers!" I said, than took a large gulp.

"Ah, now that's good!" Luke declared.

"So how do you think the students are doing?" Jess asked.

I grinned, "Well they seem to be pretty good to me, and what's better is that umbitch seems to be to scared to poke her nose into the classes. A couple of them still don't seem to be getting along, Draco and Snivy most notably. After that first battle Snivy hasn't seemed to be listening to him at all."

The other two nodded and Luke said, "I agree with your assessment master." Suddenly I saw three of my students enter, they didn't notice us however. Harry, Ron, and Hermione set up some chairs so they were facing their table. They were only waiting a few minutes before more students entered. What looked like a majority of my two classes was soon assembled around the three students. Although I noted that none of my Slytherins were there.

Hermione started the meeting, "Well...we all know why we're here. We need someone to teach us DADA. Not some ministry toad who won't let us do any spells, but someone who actually has experience defending themselves from the Dark Arts."

Zachariah Smith interrupted, "Why? Other than OWLs next year?"

"Because You-Know-Who's back you prat!" Ron spat.

"So he says!" Sneered Zachariah, pointing at Harry.

"So Dumbledore says." Hermione told him.

"Dumbledore says, because he says. Point is, where's the proof?" Zachariah asked.

"If you are just here to hear me tell you what happened that night, you should just clear out. I'm willing to teach you, not tell you about that!"

Then Susan asked, "Is it true you can make a patronus, a corporal patronus?"

Harry blinked, "Yes, are you related to Amelia Bones by any chance?"

Susan smiled, "She's my auntie."

Then one of the others said, "First year he got past all of Dumbledore's traps and stopped You-Know-Who from getting the Philosopher's Stone."

"Second year he killed a basilisk with the sword up in Dumbledore's office, one of the portraits told me that." Colin said with glee.

"Third year he drove off about a hundred Dementors at the same time!" Ron said proudly.

"And that's not counting all the stuff he had to get past last year." Cho added.

"Well yeah, it sounds great when you say it like that. But most of that was just luck!" I snorted, if that stuff was luck I was a Magikarp. "You have no idea do you? What it's like looking at him, knowing your about to die! When you're in school if you mess up you can just try again. Not out there. Not when you have less than a second to decide what to do!"

Hermione timidly said, "You're right, we have no idea, but that's why we need you to teach us."

It was then that I decided to announce myself, "I think its a good idea. If the toad isn't going to teach you anything you should have him teach you. I've looked over the test scores for all my students, he's gotten the best DADA scores in the last twenty years." I raised my glass to toast him as they stared at me in shock, not having seen me before.

Then Jess added, "Of course we've drunk enough that we probably won't remember anything about this by the end of the day." She winked at them, letting them know their secret was safe. They relaxed a bit and continued to set up their group. Afterwards, once it was just Harry, Ron, and Hermione left, I walked over to them.

"So, any reason there weren't any Slytherins in this group?"

Ron scoffed, "They would never join, they're probably all going dark."

I frowned, "What have I said about the difference between light and dark? Also I think you'd be surprised. You should try to find some Slytherins, perhaps some from my class." That said, I left. I was quickly followed by Jess and Luke.

As we were walking up the street I heard someone call my name, "Professor Frost! Can I talk to you for a minute?"

I turned and saw Draco Malfoy running up, his Snivy trailing behind him. "Yes Mr. Malfoy. Can I help you?"

He nodded, "Can I have a different Pokémon? This one doesn't do anything I say."

I sigh, "I gave you Snivy for a reason. Tell me, what do you remember about their species?"

Draco frowned, "Let's see, they are the grass type starter from the Unova region. They are approximately two feet tall and weigh around 17.9 pounds. They become faster in the sunlight. They evolve into Servine, before evolving into Serperior. And they are fast and have a high attack and sp. attack stat."

I nod, "You are fairly familiar with your Pokémon's species it seems. Now tell me, what do you remember about their normal personalities?"

Draco thought for a moment, "They are rather proud, right?"

I ginned, "Bingo! They are proud, and there lies your problem. You've been ordering him around, but you haven't really bonded with him yet. You need to show him that you can respect him, before working with him. You're partners, you aren't his boss." That said I turned and continued walking. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Harry, Ron, and Hermione exiting the hog's head.

"Professor Frost!" I heard Draco call. I turned halfway back and raised an eyebrow. "Thanks!" He yelled.

The other three looked gobsmacked, I couldn't help but chuckle. "Anytime Draco. Anytime."

So yeah, that's done... I don't really have anything to say about this chapter aside from...I really think it could have been better... I don't know...when I read through it I just wasn't really happy with it and I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to change. In other news, this should be the last short chapter, as I'm going to make sure that I write more before I post. Unfortunately this is also the last prewritten chapter, and that means that I don't know when the next chapter will be out. In any case, Frost out.
