Chapter 2
Professor Snape walks alongside Professor Dumbledore, through the lang hallways outside. The little yellow creature is still sitting on the potionsmasters shoulder. The group of students following the professors outside is getting bigger and bigger. Snape growls. "Settle down, Severus." The headmaster says. "Settle down... SETTLE DOWN!!!" Hisses Snape. "How can I settle down if every student in Hogwarts is laughing at me."
"They aren't laughing at you, Severus, they are just curious." Explains the elderly wizard. Severus looks over his shoulder, the one that is not occupied by a little animal, and tries to look menacing and intimidating, but something tells him that it isn't working. "How will I ever get students to take me seriously." He thinks with a sigh, "just have to keep walking and ignoring them."
"It was here, Albus." Snape says. The old wizard goes to stand on the spot and closes his eyes. I seems like the gray wizard is emanating a white light. He stands there for a while and says: "The creature wasn't alone when it entered our world." Severus lets his head hang and thinks: "I just hope that they are not all like this animal." He sights and looks at the little yellow animal on his shoulder.
"Pika… Pika… chu… chu!!! Piiiii… Pikachu!" It says and then it licks the potionsmaster. Several of the students who had been watching now start laughing. And Prof. Snape is sure that he is hearing "ahh", "oh" and a "so cute" here and there. With a growl and a glare he turns around. "And what is so funny?" He asks. He sees that now students are biting their lip so they won't laugh again.
But then on his shoulder the little animal starts to tremble, a clear "Piiiiii…" can be heard, Severus looks at the critter and for the second time that day lightning bolts start to form on its cheeks. "WEll, one thing is clear," Prof. Dumbledore starts. "The little thing wants to protect you very badly, Severus. We must assume that it loves you."
"I. AM. NOT. LOVABLE!!!!" Every word is punctuated by a step closer to the headmaster of Hogwarts. Albus just smiles sweetly at the angry wizard. "I wasn't implying you were, Severus. I wouldn't dare to insult you like that." Snape shakes his head and sighs: "I couldn't have imagined that even you would laugh at me, Albus."
"I am not laughing at you." Albus puts a paternal hand o Severus' empty shoulder.
"Lets first start looking for the creatures from the other dimension." Snape says, and then he mutters under his breath: "and with my luck, they will all 'love' me." Without an other word he walks away to search. They can't be to far away, I suspects that they are hiding in the scrubs.
"Prof. Snape!" Draco calls out. "There is something here." The professor walks over to the blond boy looking into some bushes. "And here too!" Says a shy girl's voice, Prof. Snape looks around and sees Ginny Weasley looking in a close by bush. He takes a deep breath and walks over to the bushes. First he goes over to Draco and sees a shoe… with a foot and a leg. Then over to Ginny… a backpack. "Hmmm… Looks like Muggles." He grumbles. "Show yourself… NOW!" Snape's words sound threatening.
"Severus." Prof. Dumbledore says soothing. "You are scaring them." Then the friendly professor turns to the bushes and says quietly: "Come one, we won't hurt you." Severus Snape is standing behind him, tall, dark, menacing and with a little yellow animal on his shoulder.
Two boys, a girl and an other little yellow creature emerge from the bushes. They look around insecurely. "Pika." Says the creature on Snape's shoulder and hides between the black hairs of the professor. "Pikachu!" Says the little creature on the boy's shoulder across from Snape. The boy looks at Snape's shoulder and discovers the animal between the professor's black hair. "Pikachu." The boy says. "Oh, great." Snape exclaims "Even those Muggles can't say anything else but: Pikachu."
"I am not a Muggle, but a Pokemon trainer." The boy replies. "And my name is Ash."
"Ash," the redheaded girl with him starts. "I don't think you are allowed to talk to that man like that. He looks like a teacher."
"I can talk anyway I want, Misty, especially if somebody is calling me names like Muggle. What ever that may be." Ash replies.
"I am not calling you names," Snape talks slowly. "You are a person that can't do magic, a Muggle." Snape seems patient, but the students who are standing closest all do several steps backwards. They all know the potionsmaster better and they know that this is just quiet before the storm.
"Severus, you are scaring them." Prof. Dumbledore repeats his earlier statement. "This is not the way to treat guests." Snape doesn't reply, he just growls, then he glares at the three kids in front of him. "I am Brock." The tallest of the two boys says, "that's Misty and you already spoke with Ash." He extends his hand to shake Snape's. The wizard just looks at him and says: "I am Prof. Snape, and I presume you know what this is." He points at the little yellow animal on his shoulder, which is almost entirely hidden hidden in his hair now.
"That is a Pikachu." Misty explains. "We were following her. Brock wanted a Pikachu, just like Ash. We just couldn't catch her. But I see you could."
"I didn't catch her, I found her. An now there is no way to get her of my shoulder." Snape grumbles.
Surprised Misty looks the tall man straight in the eyes. "Ofcourse you can get her of your shoulder. Did you even try?" Snape glares at the redheaded girl. "Do you think that I am walking around with a yellow thing on my shoulder for fun?" He take a big step to the girl. En mass all Hogwartsstudents take a big step backwards.
Misty just looks right back at him. "Why not?" She asks. "Ash usually has his Pikachu on his shoulder."
"You dare to compare me with that bigmouth muggle boy?" He growls. Out of the corner of his eyes he can see that the student are backing up even further now. Just the infuriating little girl doesn't seem impressed.
Misty smiles, "He does have a bigmouth. But… actually, Yes."
Snape shakes his head in a irritated fashion, without an other word he takes the Pikachu of his shoulder and puts her on the ground. And what happened in the headmasters office repeats itself. The animal says in shock: "CHU!!!" Takes a big leap and lands with graceful movements on Snape's shoulder. Snape turns around without a word an starts walking back to the castle. With a friendly smile Prof. Dumbledore also turns around and says: " Brock, Ash, Misty… would you please follow us."
