"What?" Summer questions

"Oh it's nothing big but i had a piece of parchment that i was writing on and i can't find it." The boy looked under the couch while he talked.

"You mean the ridiculous notion of using magic with Pokemon?" Summer questions

"Hey it's not a bad idea and it's just mostly comparing Pokemon's attacks to what spells i know or read about. Now can i have it back please."

"Why?" Summer questions

"Well I wasn't finished with it and plus i hoping to use it to help me pick my started when we go back to your world."

"You don't pick a Starter with charts and graphs." Summer replies

"Why not if it helps you see a clear picture of the Pokémon, you're going to be partnered with at least thats what Hermione said when she saw me start this."

"Because if you choose your 'ideal' partner, that Pokémon may not like you, thus won't listen to you." Summer answers

"Well how am I supposed to know i don't know how it all works."

"I choose Squirtle, because I like the Pokémon, and by some miracle, he likes me." Summer replies

Harry folded his arms and puffed his cheeks "That all fine and all but you grew up in that world but i didn't"

"You look like a Jigglypuff." Summer states

"a what ?' he asked confused

"Round pink pokemon who likes to sing people to sleep." Summer replies

He grabs a cushion and smacks Summer with it "I am not round and pink."

"Yeah, you look more red then pink." Summer replies as she ducked the pillow.

"I am not red.' he swings once more a smile forming on his face.

"Yeah you are. I wonder how much more redder you would will be once my momma gets a hold of you." Summer sates as she leapt backwards

Harry leapt after her "Oh no you're not gonna tease me and not pay the price.' he tossed the pillow at her as he reached for another one.

Growlithe watched and leapt to his feet before grabbing a pillow himself, and shaking his head, growling playfully.

"Hey no fair thats two against one.' he moved to stay out of reach of the Puppy Pokemon.

Growlithe's tag wagged happily, as he tugged on the pillow, gently but enough to be fun.

"Yeah...Tug-a-war is Growlithe's favorite game." Summer explains

"Oh so you think your the strong one here well see about that." Harry was so caught up in the moment he forgot his fear of the Pokémon as he pulled the pillow back from him.

The two played with each other till there was a knock on the door.

Growlithe dropped the pillow, and was instantly on guard. He trotted to Summer's side, as his trainer gently put her hand on his scruff.

Harry looks over at the door then to summer as if asking 'you want me to get the door?'

"Miss Mendez, we're here to start our detention with you." Draco's voice was clear and filled with hate at him being here.

"Good." Summer responds, "I'll be out in a second." she released Squirtle and Pidgey from their pokeballs and instructed them to be as difficult as possible for the three losers. She then opened the door, and walked out with her Pokémon following, Growlithe growled at the three.

Harry follows after them and Malfoy sees him. "What are you doing here, Potter? Come to laugh at us while we work like a Weasley."

"Keep your mouth shut, Mr. Malfoy, I wouldn't want to end up with a month's worth of detention and a load of points taken away." Summer warned

Professor Dumbledore and Snape met them at the pitch to watch, Summer's detention.

Summer put her pack down and pulls out rags and bottles and brushes for her Pokemon. "One of you are going to have to get a bucket of water before we start."

Snape had a sense that Summer was going to make them do the daily toil of caring for creatures as intelligent as their human companions.

"Growlithe needs a bath, Pidgey needs his talons trimmed, and Squirtle's shell needs a waxing." Summer states, "You three idiots are going to do that."

Each Pokémon went to a boy with Growlithe almost stomping to Malfoy and flopping in front of him.

"Have fun." Summer states, as her Pokemon heard the double meaning, and began to make this lesson clearly horrible for the three boys. Growlithe used double team and confused Malfoy as to which Growlithe was the correct one.

Pidgey flew up to the highest goal post and sat there and began to preen.

Squirtle used water gun to keep the rag and turtle shell wax away from his tormentor.

Dumbledore was shaking with laughter while Snape just shook his head and walks away.

Malfoy was getting frustrated "Get Back you beast so that i can get this over with."

"Growlithe, Squirtle." Summer called, she held up her arm. "Pidgey." all three returned to their Trainer. "Never mess with my Pokemon again, or I will allow them to teach you a lesson, you'll never forget." she turned, gathered her things, walked off. "Those three make Team Rocket look smart."

"Team Who?" Harry asked

"Team Rocket are poachers who steal other people's Pokemon." Summer answers

"What, why, you told me that Pokémon are all over the world are they to lazy to catch their own."

"They are too lazy to train their own. I mean I'll understand if they stole abused Pokémon, but happy and content Pokemon. Never." Summer states, "I had a few encounters with them."

"Well They sound like my cousin Dudley and his gang."

Summer didn't respond, as she launched Pidgey back into the air.

Harry and Summer came to the hallway that lead to her room. Harry turns to her. "Well I'll see you in the morning." as he continues to his dorms.

Summer was getting a little bit spoiled as she found clean clothes, each morning laid out for her, on days where she didn't feel like being with the others, there was a tray of toast, eggs and ham, and green tea. This was a weekend, so the students didn't have classes, so they could study or just hang out without a deadline.

Summer was in the quidditch pitch having a practice battle with her Squirtle and Pidgey, when she noticed that a small group of students gathered to watch her.

She halted the practice, and gave her team some berries. She turned "So...what cha' doing?"

One of the older girls came over and spoke up "Well some of us heard the noise and we came to see what was going on and we heard Potter speaking of a Pageant you had with your friend and we wanted to know more."

"You mean a Pokemon Contest, for Coordinators." Summer replies

"Yes those Potter said you compete in those but he couldn't us more than that."

"its a contest to show off how beautiful a pokemon can be." Summer answers "Unlike Gym battles Contests are more fun."

"So it's like a pet show then," bit by bit the other students came down and began to ask questions as well.

"Not really its more like a dance, the Pokemon shows off specialize skills and are judged on how well trainer and the Pokémon in the contest did together." Summer answers

the question continue on till lunch and everyone went back to the castle to have lunch.

Summer ate a sandwich, sitting beside her Pokemon, after she finished, she began to massage each of her pokemon.

As it seems to be come a normal thing Harry came into the room to just talk with her or to do some homework away from everyone or to just play with Growlithe.


One day, both trainer and Growlithe were not content, they entered the great hall. Didn't speak to anyone, just found a corner and sat down.

Harry came over "Hey Summer, what's wrong?"

"Go away, I'm not in the mood." Summer states, Growlithe yipped his agreement.

Harry did as he was asked and went back to his table.

Summer leaned her head back against the wall, she wasn't homesick, she hadn't been home long enough to miss the place, she was bored, and longing for something to do. Back in her world, on her journey, she would have met fellow Trainers and challenged or been challenged to a battle. She had nothing physical to do, and neither did Growlithe.

Hermione watched and tried to figure out why Summer wasn't her normal self, she was normally cheerful always there to answer questions, but as the days went by and there was not a scrap of a chance she would ever return to her world, she grew more and more annoyed with everything. Someone who was used to traveling across vast distance from sunrise to sunset.

Hermione went over to professor McGonagall and spoke with her about her theory. "I think Summer's bored. She's used to physical activities, she's either traveling from city to city or encountering others like herself and having a battle with them. Her Squirtle and Pidgey are able to get exercise by swimming or flying respectfully, but there is nothing for her and Growlithe to do here."

The professor looked up at the girl then nods in agreement. she stood and went over to Summer. "Ms. Mendez, if you could please follow me, I would like to have a word with you."

Summer looked up, then nods as she stood up. Growlithe following of a fraction of a second later.

She lead the girl to her office and asked her to sit down. "Now it has been brought to my attention the quite possibly you and your Growlithe might be bored and in need of some exercise, am I correct?"

"Yes, that must be why I am not in a good mood, this school is about learning how to control your powers, my ability isn't something, I can weigh or measure, so I guess I have to have a physical activity to ease my uh...frustration." Summer answers

The older woman thought for an minute then smiles "Well Ms. Mendez, How about we built you both an, how the muggles call it, oh yes an obstacle course."

"Yes! The police force use an obstacle course to keep them and their partners in shape." Summer replies

McGonagall smiles glad to have found a solution to the problem "Very well them lets head on outside and get this course done then."

It took the better part of the afternoon done, each teacher adding their own part of the course to be purely physical.

Growlithe watched, and itched to run the course.

Once it was done, McGonagall turned to face the young woman. "Well Summer, how about this?"

Summer looked at Growlithe, she stretched out into a runner's stance, while Growlithe did the same, eager to race.

The professor raised her wand and said "On your mark , get set, and...GO.' as what sounds like a gunshot came from her wand.

Summer and Growlithe shot off, racing each other.

Poppy, Madame Hooch and a few other teachers and students gathered watch as Summer and Growlithe ran the course, but as with everything at Hogwarts, the course could change at any second.

after about 10 minutes Growlithe crossed the finish just ahead of his trainer. He looked back and seemed to laugh at Summer as she crossed the finish line.

"You only won cause you have four legs, you great puppy!" Summer exclaims with warmth.

The puppy just continues to laughs as he licks her then looks at the crowd as if to challenge them as well.

"Want to run it again?" Summer questions

The Growlithe barked and ran over to the starting line and waited.

Summer went to the line and ran the course once more with the Growlithe a smile on both their faces. Summer dropped to her knees, and starting petting her Growlithe, "Feel better, my Little Flame?"

He gave a playful yip and licked her . he drop to his back asking for a belly rub.

"Who's a good overgrown puppy?" Summer questions as she rubbed Growlithe's belly.

Soon the crowd broke up and went back to the school save harry and his two friends.

Summer stopped and looked up. "hmm?"

"Summer, I was telling the others about your world and they want to know if you're really gonna take me with you."

"Yeah, if you really want to go. I don't see a problem with it. I know my parents want answers to why Lils disappeared." Summer replies

"To right, See i told you. I was going, that reminds me, Summer, tomorrow we're learning how to ride brooms you want to join us and see if you can ride one?"

"No thanks, I am perfectly happy with what I can do, I don't need to use a cleaning implement to soar with the flying types." Summer answers

"Why not i would love to fly it would be so cool?" Harry look up in the sky thinking about it.

"Because the only flying I am willing do to is on the back of a Pidgeot." Summer answers

"A Pidgeot, what kind of Pokémon is that? Hermione asked

"Final Evolution of Pidgey." Summer replies

"Evolution? You mean they can evolves as well, incredible." Hermione replies

"Some can, only one known Pokemon has many different evolutions." Summer replies

"Oh really what pokemon is that and can we catch one when we go."

"its an Eevee, The Evolution Pokemon." Summer answers

Harry smiles at the thought of getting one or more as the group heads back to the castle and to her room.

Summer went to her bag, and got out a photo album. "I keep this with me, so when I do keep thinking of the homestead, I can just look at it."

The trio of kids gather around Summer and look at the book.

The first few pictures were of the family, with Lily. Next were of Summer, and various Pokemon that her parents can captured. She turned the page, "This one has got to be my favorite."

They lean in to see what the picture was and saw it was her, her father, and her father was handing a small puppy.

That's when you got Grolwlithe right ahh he's so cute."

"He's about half the size, he is now in that picture." Summer replies, "he's been the same, since I got him. He's one of my dad's Arcanine's pups."

Harry looks over at the puppy "I can't wait to meet you dad he sounds like a great guy."

"He is." Summer agrees, "Mom is a really great cook, for human and Pokemon alike, she taught me how to make Pokefood for different types."

"Really they need special food but what have they been eating here?"

"Pokefood, that I make myself." Summer answers "If I can get that Moltres look-alike to see me, I think he would enjoy some of the fire type food."

"Well why not head over to the headmaster and ask him I'm sure he'll let you try." Hermione points out as the two boys nods.

"I guess, but I should ask McGonagall if I can get access to Dumbledore's office." Summer agrees, as she grabbed a few pokefood pellets. Growlithe's nose started sniffing.

"Not for you, this time." Summer laughed

The Growlithe looks disappointed and the lays down.

"Silly Growlithe." Summer states, as she left the room, leaving the door slightly open just in case, Growlithe wanted to leave.

After a few minutes they find the professor in her office grading papers.

"Excuse me, Professor." Summer states, "But I wonder if you could help me with an experiment of mine?"

She looks up and gives a curious look. "Oh what kind of experiment. "

"I want to see if Professor Dumbledore's Firebird...likes the same food that Growlithe eats." Summer explains.

She thought about it and nods "I don't see the harm and that silly bird is smart enough not to eat anything that would harm it."

"Thank you." Summer replies, as she followed McGonagall to the Eagle staircase.

"Lemon drops" to open the walk way to the office and opened the office. "Ah Minerva, how good to see you, What can i do for you?"

"Assisting in an experiment." McGonagall states,

Summer walked in and walked up the fire type bird. Very carefully, as she would with any fire type, she slowly extended her hand with a pokefood pellet in her palm.

The Phoenix looks at the pellets and then at her tilting his head. He takes one of the pellets and swallows it then gives a happy trill as he gets the others in Summer's hand.

Summer laughed "I say that was a successful experiment."

Dumbledore laughs as well. "Indeed, it seem i may have to find how to copy this treat for him now."

"i can write down the recipe and give it to those strange things in the Kitchen." Summer suggests "Since I am experimenting with various types of ingredients that seem compatible with the ingredients of the original recipe."

"Oh yes please do i would hate to deny a treat to my faithful friend."

"Okay." Summer agrees. She turned and left the office, she turned back with she heard a disgruntled thrill. "Yesh, I have more Growlithe eats the same type, come to dinner sometime, and I'll have him share his bowl."

The bird gave a thrill in agreement and fell to her shoulder and gave a nuzzle before flying off.

The small group went back to Summer's room and settled in to talk some more with Hermione asking more questions to Summer.
