I finally finished this chapter! I was so excited and happy that I did! Also Happy New Years to everyone!


Aria sat down at the Slytherin table, running her hand through her hair as Dobby looked around, hissing lightley. The ride to Hogwarts was very comforting, almost like a dream. Luckily neither Draco or Pansy had bother them, buy ice cold Oran juice from the trolley and several snacks. Dobby at the time had escape from his Pokeball, the Dreepy didn't like being in it as much as Nimbus.

Nimbus in fact was looking at the empty plates with his ears down which made Aria chuckle before she scratch behind his ears, "Don't worry bud..soon the Ceremony will be over and then we can get you some food,"

"Pika!" Aria smiles but then turns to Daphne who looks extremely tired, "Everything alright Daphne?"

Tracey grimaces from beside her friend, "You haven't heard about what's happening in Circhester?" At Aria's shake of her head, Tracey leans down, "Countess Greengrass and her son, Heir Gordie had a horrible fight! Countess Greengrass wanted Gordie to become the next Gym Leader by being an ice-type but Heir Gordie wants to be a Rock-Type User..he already got an apprenticeship with Viscount Goyle at Essetir. The whole town has split, one side thinking that Heir Gordie has the right to still be the Successor while the other side thinks that Countess Greengrass has the right to name Daphne Heiress now.."

Aria blinks while Daphne sighs, "I always wanted to be an Ice type Trainer but I never expected to become the Gym Leader..I alway knew that was to be Gordie's job but.." she shakes her head. Aria wonder if this what she would had worried if her parents were still alive. If her and Alister were raised together..would they have been fighting over who would have taken their Dad's Place as Gym Leader?

Her attention was pulled as the Great Hall's doors were open and Professor McGonagall led the first years inside. Aria saw many faces looking pale and in fear, Ginny was easily visible by her vivid Weasley hair as Bella who was not wearing her Trainer Jacket) was softly talking to her, trying to calm her down. Professor McGongall waved them to stop in front of a stool that held the Great Dragon Fang.

Aria ignored Dumbledore as he began his Welcoming Speech thinking about this fang. Every Year, the cracked and chipped fang sorted new students into the four Hogwarts Houses (Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor). Aria remembers hers very well because unlike the others who only got the fireworks that signal which House that they were going to, she talked to the God that used to have this Fang.

She frowns as she thinks of Kilgharrah, of him talking about some great Destiny of hers..that there was a reason why she had a natural gift of Aura where others had to learn how to control it..and that if she didn't succeed not only Galar would fall but all the other Regions..she shakes her head as a mousy-haired boy has been called forward to place his hand on the fang. Taking a deep breath and pushing her glasses up, she let her eyes wandered to where the Professors sat at the staff table. She watches as Dumbledore claps as the boy is sorted into Gryffindor, his long silver beard and half-moon eyes shining brightly in the candlelight. Several seats along was Lockhart, dressed in a suit that was aquamarine this time. He was smiling, happily chattering away at Professor Snape, her Head of House and kinda her least favorite teacher. And that was only because of how he treated her.

Which said wasn't bad, she thinks to herself. She just knew that when he looked at her he could only see either her father, James, who was his bullied at Hogwarts, or her mother, Lily, who was his childhood friend before their fifth year. Who she had never known..she shakes her head. While cruel, sarcastic and disliked by everyone but Slytherin, he knew his own stuff. Even Ron talked about how great of a potion master he was.

"Looks like Snape is angry," Aria pointed, which made Piers snort.

"You think? Lockhart got chosen over him for the position of Battling 101," Piers pointed out as he claps as Luna skips over to the Ravenclaw table, "I think anyone would get angry about that,"

Aria hums in agreement while she waves to Hagrid who was drinking deeply from his goblet. Professor McGonagall called Bella, glaring at the girl for her lack of uniform. Aria wasn't surprised when the white fireworks erupted from the Great Fang signaling for Gryffindor to cheer as they got a new member. Aria smiles but then pulls back as Dobby gets into her face, "Come on Dobby! Stop!"

"Dree!" he wiggles and then starts biting into her nose. It didn't hurt but made her sigh as the other Slytherins began to laugh. Rolling her eyes she gently pushes him off, "Dumb little lizard"

"What, having a hard time controlling your Pokemon, Potter?" Draco sneers, making Aria roll her eyes.

"And this is why I like NPC Rivals..they have better things to say than you Malfoy," Piers snorts as the others "Ohhhhhhh" at Malfoy who turns into a scorching red in anger.

Before Malfoy could open his mouth to remark, the Great Hall went completely silent as green fireworks erupted. Heads turn, they see Ginny Weasley staring at the Great Dragon Fang in shock, slowly letting her hand fall.

"A Weasley?! In Slytherin!?" Draco screeches in rage as the girl nervously walks over to the table, "First Potter and now this? What is the Great Dragon thinking!"

"Oh shut up Malfoy!" Aria snaps as she scoots over, letting Ginny sit beside her. She gives the younger girl a smile, "Welcome to Slytherin Ginny..other than some hot heads," she glares at Draco, " think, you belong here..unless some people would want to say something bad about the God of Dragons?"

Everyone who was muttering angrily becomes quiet, Aria gives a smirk before she patted Ginny on the back. Her head turns to the Gryffindor table where Ron and his brothers were staring in shock and concern. "She'll be fine," she mouths to Ron who shoulders slump in relief.

With Ginny being the last one, the Sorting Ceremony was over. Dumbledore stood up and said the same things as last year except the third corridor was once again open. At that moment the people who make the food march inside, carrying platters.

With the hall echoing with laughter, cries of Pokemon and the clattering of knives and forks. Aria was helping herself with some chicken when Flint came over, "Potter you and that rat of yours better have been training. I want to face Wood on the field and now have his bloody smirking face staring at me because you were knocked out,"

Aria chuckles, "Don't worry we did," Nimbus nods his head pumping up his tiny fists, tail wagging at the thought of playing a game of Royal Raid. Flint nods his head but leans down, "Watch out for Malfoy..I heard that he going to try out for the team..and that his dear old Daddy will be helping,"

Aria nods her head, "Thanks for the warning," Flint grunts but heads over to the other sixth years. Aria looks over to Daphne and Tracey and smirks as they giggle."I think he wants to do more than just battle with Wood," Tracey chuckles, making Aria snort while Ginny blinks in confusion.

At long last, all the morsels of food were done and Aria, Piers, Daphne and Tracey followed the Slytherins down the marble to the Dungeons where the hidden entrance to the Slytherin Dorms were. Ginny was being led by the new fifth year Prefect, Lewis, since Gemma was appointed as the new sixth year prefect and Scarlett as the new seventh year Prefect. Aria learned last year that the fifth year Prefect showed the first years the longer way so that way the older years can get everything ready and settled.

When they entered the dorm, everyone was talking loudly, especially Draco, but then Scarlett clapped her hands together, pulling their attention to her, "Ok, I know that the Sorting was shocking but pull yourself together. This isn't the first time someone came to our great House that we never expected and the Great Dragon must have a reason on why he chose Weasley but we can't argue with his decision," she gives Malfoy a look, "Weasley is part of this House..the other Houses will be at her because she is a Slytherin..and you know the rules we stick together, showing a front to the other Houses that we will not stand for their abuse..any problems you have with Weasley stay inside the Dorm..got it?" She eyes all the Slytherins and while they grumbled they all nodded. Aria sighs glad they got that over with before the first years were brought in. She smiles at how nervous they looked as Scarlett welcomes them to Slytherin. Smiling, she waves at Ginny before heading up the stairs, watching as the Water type Pokemon swam by the window that showed the lake that surrounded Scepter Island. Reaching a door that had her name on a plaque, she opens it to reveal the circular room of her living area. Nimbus hops onto the couch while Dobby sniffs around, hiding lightly at everything.

Shaking her head, she releases Hedwig and Godzilla. Hedwig shakes her wings before taking flight to the window. Her molting finally finished, Hedwig was now bigger and her feathers stronger and a bit more curler than what her down used to be. Godzilla huffs before going to the corner where a pile of dirt was and tunneling into it, Aria hearing some munching on it and chuckles before she flops onto the couch. Running her hand through her hair she smiles. While the HQ lab has become home..she was glad to be back at Hogwarts.


The next day Aria hardly chuckled. Things started going downhill once she sat at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall at lunch rubbing her head in pain.

"I can't believe she dyed her hair," Daphne mutters as she grabs a sandwitch, "I mean sure we're allowed to dye our hair but most wait until fourth year to do so but really now in second year?" Aria turns to see Daphne looking at Pansy who was sitting beside Draco, the girl's short black hair now a dark green.

"I mean," Aria shrugs her shoulders, "it's up to her you know? What does she does?"

"Yeah but I think she is only doing it to get attention from her dad. You know the scientist and gym leader?" Tacey whispers but quiets when Daphne eyes her. Aria knew that Parkisons were were Gym Leaders but also worked at Marco Cosmos, the company Minister Rose had owned before he took over as Minister. It was said that Adrian Parkison appeared out of nowhere, after the death of his parents, being friends with Lucius Malfoy. He then met Zulay Slughorn, a great Pokemon Racer who unfortunately died during a Gear test leaving him as a single father to his daughter.

"Ugh," Pansy groans, "Why does Dumbledore keeps pairing us with the Gryffindors in the important classes I don;t know. Like I would understand pairing us in math or science? But Potions and Battling 101? Pokemon Care?"

"Dumbledore's way of trying to get us along I guess," Draco drawls, rolling his eyes, "My father did said that Dumbledore was the worst thing to ever happen to Hogwarts,"

"Something that we both agree on for once," Aria thought but she couldn;t help but agree with Pansy either. Today they had math first with the Ravenclaws before having Science with the Hufflepuffs. Everyone was wiggling for a real Trainer Class, Aria had heard many times from her classmates that Hogwarts a Trainer School and they shouldn't have to learn math (cough Ron cough) but others said they its still a School.

Aria couldn't help but remember how many times Hermione lectured Ron and Raihan about how Hogwarts was different than regular schools besides teaching how to train Pokemon. For the first two years they learn the basics like Secondary. Third through Fifth Year was when things get harder, adding more classes was just like Further Education and while the last two final years was the hardest..some people even dropped out because of it was university level work.

Aria ignores this going back to her bacon sandwich (which Hedwig was trying to nab) when she hears a whimper. Looking to her left she looks to Ginny who was staring at her Rotom Phone in fear, "Ginny? What's wrong?"

"Mum…she..she sent me a Howler.."

Everyone around them stop, their eyes widen before they turned their faces to Ginny. Lewis who was sitting beside the First YEars like Gemma did for them last year, stare at her as if expecting her to explode.

"What the fuck?" Lewis whispers leaning over, "Weasley, are you sure it's a Howler?"

Ginny gulps and nods turning her Rotom Phone which showed her Email. Instead of the regular white envelope sign it was a bright red. Even Piers flinched at it which made Aria confused.

"What's a Howler?"

"I'm surprised you don't know," Lewis whispers faintly, "With how much Molly Weasley sends the twins one. It's an email that is recorded as a message from the sender's voice, usually at a very high volume..and even more when it isn't open.." Aria raises an eyebrow at that as Ginny shakes.

"You better open it Ginny," Piers said placing a hand on her shoulder, "Neville got one last year from his Gran. He tried to ignore it…went off very very loudly,"

"When was that?" Aria asked with wide eyes.

"When you were in the Hospital Wing," Piers answered before turning to Ginny, "Just get it over with,"

Ginny whimpers but presses the red letter. Lewis stuffed his fingers in his ears and a split second later, Aria knew why. For it moment she thought the Rotom Phone exploded, a roar echo through the Great Hall, shaking dust from the ceiling like a Loudred.

GINVERA MOLLY WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU BE SORTED INTO SLYTHERIN! I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SHAME YOU PUT ON OUR FAMILY BEING SORTED INTO THAT HOUSE! YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE PEOPLE DID TO YOUR UNCLES"

Mrs, Weasleys yells were a hundred times louder and worse. Aria had to grab Hedwig who had fallen off her shoulder, crying in pain at the screams. Aria was hoping that it was just her imagination that she was seeing the plates and spoons rattling on the table. People thought the Hall were swiveling around to see who had received the Howler. At the Gryffindor table, Ron sank so low in his seat that only his crimson forehead could be seen, Fred and George were wincing, eyeing Ginny with pity while Percy's eyes were widen, guilt shining in them.

-"EMAIL FROM PERCY LAST NIGHT, I THOUGHT I WOULD DIE OF SHAME, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED.." there was then a sound of grunts and quiet whispers coming from the phone now. Aria put her arm around Ginny, who was now softly crying. Even the Slytherins were glaring at the phone, most probably about what Mrs. Weasley was saying more about them than what she was yelling at Ginny.

"Ginny," the girl looked up hearing her father's voice, ""I will talk to your mother, I am so sorry about this but you know how she is, congratulations on making it into Slytherin, I am proud of you and can't wait to see how you grow. And never forget that I love you," a ringing silence fell as the recording died, deleting itself from Ginny's email. Aria sat stunned before she pulled Ginny closer, Hedwig shaking her head before she nibbled on Ginny's ear. A few people laughed, but thankfully it was more awkward.

Aria pushed her sandwich away, rage burning her insides. How dare Mrs. Weasley do that? It wasn't Ginny's choice but Kilagrahha and she knew that old dragon was stubborn and even if Ginny had the time to ask he wouldn;t change his mind, but she sighs and pats Ginny on the back giving her a smile. The 11 year old looks at her with her red eyes before she smiles softly, squeaking when Aria ruffles her hair.


Soon they separate, Piers and Aria joining up with Ron and Leon to head to Professor McGonagall's Pokemon Care Class. It was always hard work learning and studying about the biology of Pokemon so they can know how to care for said Pokemon. But Aria couldn't help but think how hard it was but she knew Ron was having the worst trouble.

Professor McGonagall had them show off those who had caught a new Pokemon, And at once the Sizzilipede was glaring at Ron with his small yellow eyes, "Oh come on Rick..don't give me that.." Ron then screeches as Rick releases a smokescreen, engulfing Ron in smoke that smelled of rotten eggs. Unable to see what he was doing, Ron had accidentally elbowed Dobby in the face, who had hissed before tackling Ron at the face, biting at his nose.

"Ah I'm hurt! I am very much hurt!" he screams before Rick then tackles him, wrapping his face in a Coil attack. Leon patted him on the back as they filed out of the classroom, Ron's face now covered in bite marks and scratches, looking at the Pokeball in his hand.

"I was so happy when Charlie said Dalinda had an egg..but because I wasn't there to see him hatch, Rick had thought Charlie was his trainer so it's like a trade," he turns to Aria and narrows his eyes, "Don't you dare blame yourself. I decided to stay for Dathnos because I wanted to. Charlie warned me that this might happen since he couldn't transport the egg through the transporter. I'll probably send him a message to get some advice,"

"So what do we have next?" Leon asked, looking around as they walked outside into the overcast main square. She saw Hermione was sitting down at the marble staircase, her nose buried in Voyage with Volatile Vance. Waving at the Ravenclaw, Aria turned to Piers who sighed.

"Battling 101 with Lockhart," Ron grunts, "Do you know Hermione outline all of Lockhart's classes in little hearts?"

Aria scrunches up her face at that, sticking out her tongue, before a flash blinded her in the eyes. Blinking the spots, she sees the boy who was sorted first last night. Very small with the Rookiedee on his head, while a Rotom Phone flew around him,

"A-alright there Aria? I',..I'm Colin Creevey!" he spoke breathlessly, taking a step forward making Aria turn to the others in confusion, "I'm in Gryffindor..D'you think..would it be alright if I take a picture?"

Aria blinks at this, narrowing her eyes, "A picture?"

"So I can prove that I met you!" Colin squeaks excitedly, "I can't believe I pass the Scholarship Exam and got in..and I want proof to my dad that I met you! We all heard about how you survived You-Know-Who when he attacked and how he disappeared and everything..how you still got the lightning bolt scar that goes across your face," Aria flinches at this, Leon grabby her hand while glaring at Colin who didn't notice, "My dad told me so many stories of it..he's a milkman but..you dad saved him you know! It's amazing here, isn't it..I really never thought I would actually come here..and neither could he! So I'm taking loads of pictures to send home to him! And it would really be good if I had one with you," he quiets down when he notices the looks he was getting.

"That's enough Colin," Leon growls out before he lightly pulls Aria out of the Main Square, going through the crowd that had formed.

"I don't think I will ever get use to that," Aria mutters as they reach Lockhart's classroom.

"Just be glad neither Lockhart or Giny heard that, or they'll start an Aria Potter Fan club" Ron mutters, poking Aria on the cheek, "You could fried an egg on your face" he points out as Aria's face starts heating up. She slaps his hand away while Leon and Piers chuckle as the others clatter in. She rolls her eyes as she hears Draco and his gang's snicker.

Lockhart cleared his throat as soon as the last student was seated. When silence felled he lean forward and grabbed Sakura Joy's copy of Holidays with the Hoarder and held it up to his own, face on the cover.

"Me," he said, pointing at it and giving the same bright smile, Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Rhyfelwrd, Third Class. Honorary Member of the G-Men and five times winner of the Galar's Fabulous Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award" he then laughs, "But I didn't catch the Blissful Bessy by smiling at her," he laughs loudly not noticing only a few laughs, everyone else was staring at him in confusion.

"I see you've bought a complete set of my books, well done. I know that some of you wonder why my cases have anything to do with battling but that is the thing! Do you know who stops the actual teams? I know, I know some will say the Jennys, the Police Officers or even the Ace Trainers but the fact is..it might be you!" he points at Dean Thomas who eyes widen, "Or even you!" he points at Millicent Bulstrode, "Just like Red Satoshi, Blue Oak and Green Tanaka defeated Team Rocket. Gold Jin, Silver Rocket, and Crystal Kelisita defeated the Mask Man and so many other kids, the same age as you all defeated many teams and such I must prepare you all!" he waves his hand around as if he was on some sort of talk show, "You may be force to face your worst fears in this room..but I swear to you all that as long as I am here..no harm will befall you. All I ask is that you remain calm,"

Aria blinks in confusion as he brings up a caged, a white towel covering it. Despite herself, Aria lean forward wondering what was in it as Lockhart placed a hand on the cover. Dean, Semus and Nick Atlas had stopped laughing while Lavender was cowering, clutching to her Clefairy.

"I must ask you not to scream," Lockart whisper low, "It might provoke them,"

Lockahart ripped the towel off, the class held its breath at the sight of the small, fuchsia Pokemon with a large head. Their hands with three fingers wrapped around the bars, shaking it widley. Its face was pointed with a purple mask, pointed ears twitching as their large eyes watched the class.

Blaise snorts, not being able to control himself which made Lockhart looked at him with a raise eyebrow, "Impidimp? Really? They aren't that dangerous..sure they break into people's houses and steal things but they're more of a nuisance than a threat!"

Lockhart stills at that, and he seems to glare at Blaise while Theo snorts. He smiles, which Aria notices was stiff, "Well then. Let's see what you make of them!" and to the class's horror he opens the cage.

Pandemonium erupted in the classroom. The Impidimps shot in every direction like rockets. Two of them tackled Lavender to the ground while several others grabbed books and threw them at the windows, breaking the glass. They all ducked down as they were showered with broken glass. The rest proceeded to wreck the classroom more effectively than Goyle's classroom. They grabbed pens and papers biting into them, while they shredded books and the many pictures of Lockhart off the wall, throwing them at the students.

"Come on! Come on now! This is like an Horde Encounter, a group of the same Pokemon who suddenly attack you. You must face them head on!" he then pulls out a Ultra Ball from his belt but cries out in shock when one of the Impidimps jumps up and snatches out of his hand, throwing it out of the broken window. Lockhart pales as he was slowly being circled around and jumps when the bell rings. He looks up as the other students rush through the door, just avoiding the chandelier that gave away. Trembling slightly he catches Aria, Ron, Leon and Pierswho were almost at the door, "Well, I'll ask you three to nip this in the bud and place them back into their cage," before they could say anything he swept past them and ran out the door, closing it behind him.

"What the bloody hell?" Ron roared before he releases Mothra, "Sleep Powder my friend," The Butterfree nodded and flyed over the room spreading the blue powder over the Impidimps who slowly yawned, slumping onto the floor.

"Honestly I think he only joined so he could make us buy all his books." Piers pointed out and Aria nodded her head in agreement.

"Lyn said the same thing. Ranted about the whole thing and then storm off to put it in the news that the Dragoon Family will be helping those who couldn't afford it, Sirius also did the same thing, following Lyn's lead," she bends down trying to grab a Impidimp that was dancing out of her reach. "Honestly he doesn't have a clue what he is doing.."

Leon yelps when his ear was bitten and he pulls the dark fairy type that had scramble up his shoulder, "Sonia told me to give him a chance since he written all those books..but now I doubt he says he done them,"

Aria nods but sighs as frowns at the mess and broken classroom, "What a first day back at Hogwarts,"


As I said molly bashing..I mean in canon Ron was scared of being in Slytherin so who wouldn't be surprise that this happen to poor Ginny.

Also I know Ginny seems shy and scared but soon she will grow.
