Narrator: Rai-chan does not own Pokémon and any other characters she takes from anime or books. I think in this chapter she used Ginny and mentions a few other characters from the Harry Potter series, including Lord Voldermort….oh right I mean to say Tom Riddle, my bad. Keep in mind that this is in no way a crossover, in fact the plot behind them has nothing to do with the magical world.

Stupidity Does Not Earn You Heaven

It was now Monday, the start of the week and the beginning of Dawn's job in Kanto. She was hoping that her clinic would do fine but of course all she really wanted was to be able to help people that like her were once lost in the world.
She had left a sleeping Brianna with May, who had come over at eight in the morning like she had said she would the previous night. So here she was in her car, the drive would take no less than fifteen minutes if there was no traffic.
Her center was being funded by one of the private medical institutions and the lab Gary and Tracey owned. She had been surprised when they had given her a copy of her previous records in Sinnoh. How they knew about it was beyond her, she was just grateful she had people who believed in what she did.
Dawn got to the parking area in about ten minutes due to low traffic, and she was amazed. She parked her car and took her purse and placed her identification card around her neck that was in a lanyard. She closed the door and began to walk to the building where her clinic was located. As she walked she was trying hard to contain her excitement, but she just couldn't believe that inside the building was a space just for her. Her own clinic.
She walked inside the building, flashed her card to the security guard and kept walking to the stairs. Her clinic was located in the second floor.
When she got to her floor she noticed two women were sitting in the stairs, one had long brown hair and the other had short orange like hair.
"Are you by any chance the owner of Dawn's beauty center?" The orange hair one asked and Dawn nodded.
"Yes I am. Have you been waiting long?" The woman with the brown hair shook her head and Dawn sighed in relief. All three kept walking down the hallway until they reached a door that had Dawn's beauty center; where the inside is the one that counts written in big silver letters. Dawn entered the key into the door and the door automatically opened and the lights turned on.
"Wow this place looks awesome." The orange haired girl replied.
"Yeah I know right?" The brown haired girl replied.
Dawn had taken a quick look around in the middle of last week but nothing had gotten her prepared for this. It looked way more advanced than her previous clinic had ever been, and she felt a bit guilty. She shook the thoughts away and turned around to look at the two girls.
"Well there's still about half an hour until the clinic officially opens," Dawn began to say. "I have to get started on setting everything up."
"We'll help you." the orange haired one said. "I'm Misty and this is my friend Melody. We're the ones who applied for the job of therapist and secretary."
Dawn bowed down and smiled. "Nice to finally meet you. I'm sorry I did not know you by face yet."
The two girls smiled in return.
"Don't be sorry. Everything was done online." Misty said.
"We know who you are, though." Melody stated. "We're friends with Ash and May, Dawn."
"I'm going to kill those two when I get home!" Dawn said, and they laughed ushering Dawn to the first door in the apartment looking clinic.
"We took a look around last week, and we memorized where everything is." Melody said as she sat Dawn in the light blue colored room. "You get ready in here and leave the rest to us we'll take care of everything."
Dawn was confused. She wanted to help out too! "I can't allow you to do that," she said shaking her head. "This is my clinic I should be the one getting everything ready."
Misty shook her head. "Since we work here to this is our clinic also and as such we insist that you get ready for the first client."
"Yeah," Melody agreed. "We know you moved here not too long ago so go ahead call the front desk to send you up some supplies, some food for you to eat and get your office ready while we get everything else done."
"You better not get out of there," Misty said as she waved and closed the door. "We'll send you the first client as soon as he/she arrives."
Dawn sighed as she sat down in the chair. Boy those two are sure crazy was the only thing going on her mind. She took the time to look around the room more carefully.
The whole room was painted blue; similar to the same color her bedroom was painted. The desk was a dark wood color, with three drawers in too side and a big one in the middle that slides. There was also a medium-sized couch on the left side and two dark blue bean bag chairs in the right.
Ash had decided to go with her when she was shopping and had been the one to choose the bean bag chairs. He had said there was something "comforting" about it. Dawn didn't have the heart to tell him no.
As she placed her laptop in the desk and turned it on, she sighed yet again.
I wonder how May is doing with Brianna? It's only eight forty-five, so she should still be fast asleep.
The main screen showed up, and she typed her password waiting for it to finish loading. She was feeling a bit hungry, so she decided to take Melody's advice and order some food. She took the phone and called the front desk.
"Hi, this is Dawn speaking. May I please get a bagel with butter and a hot chocolate sent up to the clinic for me please?" Dawn said as she watched the door open and Ash walked in.
"Add a warm chamomile tea and bread with butter to that please." He said.
Dawn gasped as she placed one of her hands to the phone's mouthpiece. "Ash what are you doing here?" She said surprised.
"Order the food and I'll tell you afterwards." he said as he sat down in one of the bean bag chairs.
She laughed and took her hand away from the phone. "Yeah I'm still here," she said to the phone. "Yes I want the hot chocolate, a chamomile tea, a bagel with butter and a toast with butter. Thanks." She hanged up. "Okay Ash Ketchum. Talk," she said glancing his way. "What are you doing here?"
Ash grinned. "I work here too," he said as he took a card from his pocket. "My office is located in the fifth floor."
"What? You never told me that."
"You never asked." Ash said.
"So you not only live right next door to me, I'm also stuck with you at work? Great!"
"I know isn't it awesome?" Ash did a peace sign.
"Not really." Dawn said as she stood up and walked over to him. "For your information mister I'm still mad at you for telling Misty and Melody about me. First May and now this? I am beginning to think you aren't as trustworthy as I originally had thought."
"I trust them." Ash said. "I have a feeling you are all going to become good friends."
Melody walked in with two bags at hand. "This is for you," she said placing them in the desk. "Hi Ash I'm assuming that Misty let you in?"
Ash nodded. "Yeah she did. She said that you were getting all the electronics turned on and that Dawn was in office confinement." And he laughed.
"I was so not!" Dawn defended herself and passed him one of the bags. "This is yours. Now be kind enough to leave my clinic before I kick you out. Unlike you I have work to do."
Ash pushed the bean chair close to the desk. "Who says I don't have work as well? Nah! I'd rather stay here and eat my breakfast first. Which reminds me, at what time are you heading out for lunch?"
Dawn shrugged, taking the bagel and hot chocolate out the bag. "If anything I'll just eat here."
"Oh okay I'll come around at one then. We can eat lunch together."
"What? Who said anything about us eating together?"
"Awe! Come on Dawn, is this how you're going to treat your fellow neighbor and building buddy?"
"No. This is how I treat an annoying neighbor and building buddy."
Ash took a bite from his toast. "Hey I resent that! I am most certainly not annoying."
"Yet here you are acting like a child."
"That's just my nature."
Melody could only laugh seeing them bicker. This will surely be some good gossip to tell Misty she thought to herself.
"Um guys can you leave your lover's quarrel for later? This is a professional clinic and as such we must act like it. Ash you can finish your breakfast but after you do please leave, we have work to get to and I'm sure you do too." And with that she stepped out the room.
Ten minutes of silence passed between Ash and Dawn whom was now just staring at the wall not knowing what to say. Ash stood up, pushed the bean bag back to its original position and took the bag placing it in the trashcan, and then he opened the door.
"Um… I guess I better take my leave now. If you need anything, anything at all don't hesitate to call. My extension number is 9708."
Dawn glanced at him and nodded "Thanks. Oh! and Ash…?"
He looked up at her questioningly. "Yes?"
"Will I still be seeing you at one as you stated before?"
He could not help but laugh. "Would not miss it for the world." He whispered as he walked out, but she had heard him.
"Me neither!" she yelled back at him. He glanced back and gave her the peace sign.
It was twelve in the afternoon and Dawn was talking to her third client of the day. This one was actually a case she had followed for a while now.
Ginny Weasley, eighteen years old, was here because her boyfriend had broken up with her when she was sixteen claiming that being in a relationship while he still had things to take care of was not a good idea.
Dawn began to look at the records inside the folder from the last time she had seen Ginny a few months ago. She was actually a bit surprised to see her here now. She honestly thought everything was going well with them. She closed the file and looked at Ginny.
"How are things between you and Harry now?"
Ginny laughed as she passed Dawn two envelopes. "Oh no nothing is wrong if that is what you believe. I only came to give you these and to say thanks for helping me out these past two years." she said as she looked up at Dawn and flashed a ring at her. "Me and Harry are engaged now. One of those envelopes holds an invitation to our wedding. The other one is my thank you gift for you. Please do not open them until you get home. You might freak out if you do it now."
Dawn shook her head amused and sighed. Ginny would never change. She smiled as she placed her hand on top of Ginny. "I'm glad to hear that things worked out for you in the end."
"Yes. Well it turns out that he-who-shall-not-be-named oh what the hell I mean to say Tom Riddle. He is no longer after Harry and is in prison now for a very long, long time."
"Tom Riddle?" Dawn repeated curiously. "Isn't he that leader from the Slytherin gang?"
"Yes the same one."
"I'm confused as to what Tom Riddle has to do with Harry."
Ginny cast her gaze down ashamed. "You make me feel guilty now. You were only trying to help me and here I go retaining information from you that I shouldn't have. I apologize."
"Everyone has their secrets Ginny and if you don't want to tell me you don't have to."
"If you're going to my wedding you kind of have to," Ginny said shyly, and she sighed. "Hogwarts was a peaceful gang founded by Harry's great grandfather and a few friends of his, one which included my great grandfather too. After a few decades the gang became too crowded, and they decided it was best to separate it. The gang went their different ways and split into four. Gryffindor, which remained the peaceful one and held the same principles as Hogwarts. Ravenclaw, the ambitious ones, caring only for money. Hufflepuff in a way became a quieter version of Hogwarts and Gryffindor. I think us Gryffindor's are more rebellious than they are," Dawn laughed at that and Ginny kept talking. "Last but not least Slytherin, which became the one full of ruthless and ambitious criminals only caring for the destruction and watching others suffer. Harry is the leader of Gryffindor, Cedric Diggory is Ravenclaw's, Helena Hufflepuff the third named after her great grandmother you can guess which one she belongs to and finally Tom Riddle, Slytherin's former leader."
Dawn was speechless for a bit. "Wow that is quite the history." she said after a while.
Ginny nodded as she took off her jacket and showed Dawn a tattoo of a lion. "This is Gryffindor's symbol. Draco Malfoy, the next in line to the Slytherin's has one of a snake. He's not that bad actually and only wants the best for all of us. Now that Tom is in jail we've all met up and decided it is best to unite the gangs and make it into Hogwarts again."
Dawn was amazed. "If you ask me, someone that can give you an outsider's point of view, that sounds like a great idea. I have actually heard a lot about Gryffindor, Slytherin, Raven claw and Hufflepuff. I think Gryffindor suits you perfectly, of course that is coming from an outsider's view."
Ginny could only glance at Dawn mouth agape. "You are not going to reprimand me for...you know being part of a gang?"
"I'm not one to judge." Dawn said as Ginny's phone rang.
"Oh that must be Harry or my brother they must be tired of waiting for me outside. I forgot to turn it off, so they wouldn't annoy me." Both Dawn and her laughed. Dawn smiled and walked Ginny to the door.
"I wish you the best of luck. Congratulations again on your engagement Ginevra."
Now Ginny was the one left speechless and Dawn smirked. "Just because I say I do not judge does not mean I do not do research. Such a thing called Google exists you know."
Ginny giggled as she hugged Dawn tightly. "I'm actually going to miss you and our talks."
"I'm going to miss you too and hey if you ever need someone to talk to you know where to find me. I expect an email every so often young lady you hear me!"
"Yes ma'am." Ginny said as she faked a salutatory greeting. "You won't get rid of me so easily." She teased as she waved at Dawn and walked towards two boys whom were chatting amiably. One of them, with dark black hair wrapped his arms around Ginny and kissed her lightly then looked up and waved at Dawn as if he knew her. "Thanks." she saw him murmur to her and Dawn waved back and uttered "Anytime." back.
"Wow that was your longest appointment yet," Melody said from the front desk as the three left. "What did she want?"
Ever heard of patient confidentiality Melody? Dawn thought but nodded nonetheless. "She just came to say goodbye. Today was her last day with me; she was my client for two years."
"Wow that is a long time."
"Yeah I know. Hey do I have any other clients after this?"
Melody opened the notebook lying in the desk and glanced through it. "Nope. Nothing until four, why?"
"Good," and she sighed in relief. "I need a break."
"Go get some lunch with Ash. Didn't you two have a lunch date at one?"
"It's not a date. It's a get together."
"A boy and a girl eating together alone seems like a date to me."
"You're crazy," she said to Melody. "Besides whom knows he might have a girlfriend."
A chuckle was heard from the front door. "Are you two gossiping about me already? And for your information I'm single. But of course, you knew that already Melody and now so do you Dawn."
Dawn blushed. "We're so not gossiping. We're having a friendly conversation." Then she asked him; "What are you doing here it's not one yet?"
"Um, Dawn it's already one thirty." He said laughing.
"What!" She glanced at her watch. "Ugh this stupid Pokétch I swear it keeps malfunctioning on me."
"You can fix it later for now just go and get your purse we're heading out to eat." and he pushed Dawn to her office.
Melody smirked. "She doesn't have to be back until four take her somewhere real fancy!"
"Still playing matchmaker?" Misty said as she peeked her head out from her own office. "Give it a rest Melody."
"Never!" Melody said clenching her fist and pumping it in the air. "I will find Ash's perfect match you just wait and see!"
"Please don't. I think I can find my own date and today I have the honor of eating out with a pretty lady such as Dawn."
Dawn blushed as she placed a few things inside her purse including her wallet and the two envelopes Ginny had given her. "I'm ready to go now."
"Great!" He linked arms with her. "Let's go. See you at four girls. Don't burn the place down." He joked.
Dawn hesitated for a bit. "Are they reliable?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Leave everything to us. If a client comes we'll handle it," Misty said. "You too just focus on having a fun time."
"Will do mist, will do," Ash replied. "Come on Dawn we got lunch to eat."
"I don't think I want to go anymore. These two are going to destroy the center!"
"Oh now you're overreacting." He said as they walked out and took Dawn's car to the restaurant.
"Ash Ketchum? If something happens you're the one I'm going after to kill with my bare hands!"
"Sure. I think I'll be safe from your attempts at killing me then because those two could not even burn a tree branch if they tried." He said as they strapped themselves in, and he gave her directions on how to get there.
It was now nighttime, about nine or so and Dawn was in her house sitting in the couch with the two envelopes Ginny had given her at hand. She opened the first one, not really knowing what to expect.
Oh! It's a card. I wonder what it says? She thought as she glanced at the gold and red small card then opened it up. Music started playing (Hedging's theme.)
You are cordially invited to the ceremony and Yule Ball held afterwards in honor of the union of Gryffindor's very own Ginevra Weasley and Harry James Potter.
Proper attire must be worn. This invitation is valid for two people, the invited one and a guest. Please email the address below to RSVP your spot.
Dawn; I hope to see you there. Be there or be lame! Nah! I know you wouldn't miss this out so please bring a cute guy with you and leave Brianna with a babysitter okay? Let's just say….. This might not be proper environment for a seven-year-old like her. —Ginny
Dawn laughed. That sure seems like something she would say alright.
She placed the envelope in the table and took the second envelope in her hand. Ash had come back with her when they got out of the job. He had a glass of lemonade in his hand, and he placed it down in the table as he sat down next to her and took the card.
"Hey we're going to a wedding! Since I'm cute and here it says bring a cute guy I instantly qualify so you have to take me!" He said reading through it quickly as he gasped seeing what was inside the second envelope Dawn was holding. "Holy Arceus is that really a check for a thousand poke coins?" He could not believe it.
