Chapter 4.
Without anymore incidents the two professors , the three children and the two Pikachus arrive at the office of Professor Dumbledore.
"Sit down," the elderly man starts, he points at the comfortable chairs in around his office. The children sit down and look around with open mouths. "Wow." Ash mumbles. "Hmmmm…." Brock confirms. Ash' Pikachu jumps to the ground and cautiously walks over to a stand next to the desk. The bird on the stand follows the little animal's movements with his eyes. "Pika?" asks Pikachu. "That is Faulkes, the Phoenix." Is the professor's answer. "Did you understand Pikachu's language?" Ash is surprised.
"No," Dumbledore says. "But I did understand what he meant. His Pika sounded like a question and he was looking at Faulkes." Ash nods and starts to relax a little.
"Who wants a nice hot cup of chocolate milk and some candy?" Albus asks all who are in the office. "ME." Reply the children together. "PIKA!" say both Pikachu's. "Severus?" he looks friendly at the professor, who is still standing. Snape growls again and says with a sigh: "Okay... Okay."
"Sit down, Severus." The headmaster encouraged. Without a word the man sits down.
Prof. Dumbledore gets out his magic want and points at his desk, he mutters something that de kids didn't understand and a tray appears with on it 7 mugs of hot chocolate milk and a bowl of lemon drops. A few minutes later they are all sitting around with their hot chocolate and some candy. Snape's Pikachu is even got down from his shoulder and is now sitting at his feet with her own mug.
"Maybe one of you can explain, from the beginning how you all got here." Prof. Dumbledore says. "I want to hear every detail, even the ones that don't seem important." Brock, Ash and Misty look at each other a moment. "Shall I?" Ash asks his friends, both nod in agreement.
"It actually all started yesterday" Ash starts his story. "Pikachu was a little bit on edge and he jumped from my shoulder and went into some bushes. When we followed him we saw a big group of Pichu's, Pikachu's and Raichu's. It was a marvelous site. And because it started to get late, we decided to camp right there." Misty and Brock nod in agreement again. Ash looks at the elderly man, who is sitting across the desk from him. "Go on." The old professor says friendly.
"During dinner Brock told us that he thought it would be great to catch a female Pikachu. He wants to become a great Pokemon breeder, you know. And maybe my Pikachu and his then could get an egg together. He would be able to get it to hatch. Pikachu's and Pichu's aren't to big and easy to breed while you are on the road, without the need to have a center or a ranch. So we decided to try to catch one the following morning, that would be today, of course.
Pikachu pickt her," Ash points at Snape's Pikachu. "And when Dex confirmed she was a girl, we followed her."
"Dex?" Snape asks.
Ash gets a little red device out of his pocket. "It is a Pokedex. When you point it at a Pokemon, you will hear all information about it. Kind, level, type, attacks and if it is male of female."
Snape nods: "Right, continue with your story." Ash shyly looks at the dark man and continues. "We followed her. Only she was just to quick. Every time Brock almost caught her, she would jump away. Then we arrived at a big field. Brock then decided to ask his Onix to help."
"Onix?" this time it is the older professor who interrupted. "That is also a Pokemon." He gets his Pokedex out again, gets up and walks over to the man. "Dex, all on Onix." He says, on the little screen a picture of a giant stone snake appears. The device starts its explanation. "Interesting." The man agrees. "Don't you think, Severus?"
"Hmmm…" is the only reply.
Ash at the professors, Prof. Dumbledore nods and Ash continues his story. "She disappeared, right in front of our eyes. In the air we only saw some ripples, the kind you see when you throw a rock in the water. And then my Pikachu jumped after your Pikachu. And because I just can't leave him, I leaped after him. After that I can't remember a thing until I woke up in the field near that lake. Pikachu, Brock and Misty were there too. When I looked a little further I saw the other Pikachu and You." Ash turns towards Prof. Snape. "You startled us, so we went and hid ourselves. And the rest you know."
It stays quiet in the office. The little shy Pikachu snuggled under Snape's cloak again and only her little ears are visible.
"Maybe you should name it." Says Misty.
"Name it." Snape drawls.
"Severus, that is a great idea." The Headmaster agrees friendly. Snape just grumbles and looks at the Pikachu in his arms.
"Can I ask you something?" Brock stammers.
"Of course," the gray professor looks at him kindly.
"Where is HERE?" Is the simple question.
"Here is Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. I am the Headmaster here and Professor Snape teaches potion making."
Than there is a knock on the door. "Please enter, Minerva." Calls the Headmaster.
"How can he know who is knocking on the door." Ash whispers.
"He is a wizard, he knows everything of course." Is the that-you-need-to-ask-answer of Misty.
An elderly women enters. A witch the children suspect, but she doesn't look scary, not like the witches in fairytales. She is wearing a long green cloak, and a pointed hat with a broad rim in the same color green.
"Albus, Severus… Children." She greeds all with a friendly nod. "After seeing the blockage in the hall in front of the office and hearing the gossip going around the school, I thought you might need some help." She smiles friendly and looks at Prof. Snape. "I knew it." He grumbles. "There is probably nobody in the entire castle that doesn't know that we have visitors."
Minerva smiles: "Nobody." She confirms. "But they are most enthusiastic about your new pet, Severus. And I would love to see it too. Is it really a small yellow animal?"
Without answering Snape grabbles between the folds of his cloak and gets out the Pikachu. "Ohhhh… It is so cute." The elderly witch says.
"Minerva," Snape says with a sigh. "don't use the word cute… please… I am not asking to much, do I… I just don't want to hear the word cute ever again."
"Minerva, would you be so kind to find our guest some good places to sleep?" Prof. Dumbledore asks. "After dinner, all professors need to get together in the teachers room, we need to find a way to get our guests back to their own world" He nods with a friendly smile at the children. "We will find a way soon, I am sure of it." He encourages them.
Without anymore incidents the two professors , the three children and the two Pikachus arrive at the office of Professor Dumbledore.
