RHA2
Ross and the Chamber of Secrets
Ch1
Harry awoke early one morning to find a poke ball from professor Rowan on his bed. He had been sleeping in a guest room. He was glad that he no longer had to stay in a cupboard under the stairs at the Dursleys anymore. He had talked to Rowan earlier and had sent Hagrid a birthday gift of his own. A bagon, which had been nicknamed Talon-due to his sharp claws. Hagrid had said he had been fascinated by dragons. Hagrid had been ecstatic when he received a dragon egg from a guy in a bar, which had hatched into a Hungarian Horntail-which he had named Norbert. Unfortunately, dragons were illegal as pets and Harry, Ron, and Hermione had been forced to send Norbert to Ron's older brother Charlie-who was a dragon keeper working at a dragon preserve in Romania. It hurt Hagrid seeing Norbert go, but he knew it was for the best. So, when Harry had sent him a bagon- a DRAGON type Pokémon, which was legal in the wizarding world, Hagrid couldn't help but thank Harry, sending a bunch of homemade cakes and candies. Hagrid's rock cakes weren't popular among the humans, but Jaws-Jenna's gible-seemed to LOVE them. Hermione came bounding in carrying an abra. However, unlike most abra's, this one was bred specially to know Ice Punch and Thunder Punch. At first, Harry had wondered why she had gotten a Pokémon like an abra, until a pokedex he had gotten showed that it's fully evolved form had an IQ around 5000. However, the abra itself wasn't her starter. Her starter was a squirtle. Like his trainer, Squirtle seemed to like learning and actively tried to persuade others to learn. Dumbledore had come and, using his magic, gave all the Pokémon within the ranch (and any Pokémon they got)the ability to speak "human". A male absol had taken a liking to Harry. Jenna had joked that it seemed like "disaster" followed Harry. Absol, like Hermione's abra, was officially Harry's Pokémon, but not his starter. His starter was in the poke ball that had just been given to him in his sleep that was lying on the bed.

Curious, Harry enlarged the poke ball and looked at the Pokémon inside. (I'm using BehindtG's idea of the Pokémon special manga poke balls.) He couldn't believe what he saw. To double check, he sent out the Pokémon from its poke ball. In a flash of light, a female charmander was standing on the bed, staring at him eagerly. "Harry?" It asked. "Yes?" He answered. "HARRY!" It shouted excitedly, making the absol lying next to his bed chuckle. "Hello. I'm Disaster." The Absol introduced.  "I-I'm Flare…." The Charmander stuttered. She was slightly shy meeting new people. However, Harry believed that she would outgrow it. Checking his pokedex, Harry was surprised that Flare was bred to know Dragon Pulse and Crunch.

A bowl of cereal floated into the room and sat on Harry's bed. Hermione's abra was sitting at the door, using his psychic power to levitate the cereal into Harry's lap. "Morning Harry!" Hermione shouted, running up the stairs. "So, have you decided on your Pokémon's nicknames yet?" Harry asked her, "Mine are Disaster and Flare." Hermione blushed in embarrassment. "Not yet…" she admitted.

Ross walked into the house. He was half asleep. "Hello Harry…." Ross groggily muttered, before falling asleep in his bowl of Pokémon food, making everyone laugh. His eggs had hatched a couple months ago. Ross now was the proud father of a male eevee named Benjamin, a female pichu named Rose and a male pichu named Spark. The trio could be a handful at times. The three children of Ross had the same nightmare- a giant green "ekans" with red plumage on the top of its head eating Ross after killing him with a magic-powered stare. Ross had been up most of the night consoling and comforting his children. Hermione, curious about the vivid description of the creature, looked up what it could be. Unfortunately, there were no Pokémon that matched the description, so Harry had Hedwig-his snowy owl-carry a message to Hagrid asking for a book on magical creatures. Hagrid, feeling that he could never repay Harry for sending him a "dragon Pokémon", had sent the most detailed book he had. This is what Hermione was scanning through. "AHA! Found a creature that matches the creature in your children's dream, Ross!" Hermione shouted, startling Ross awake. Saria was at his side, keeping her husband calm and preventing him from defensively shocking anyone. "The Basilisk" Hermione said. "The Basil-ask?" Ross asked. "Basilisk" Hermione corrected, before starting to read the description, "The Basilisk is the King of Serpents. Looking into its eyes results in instant death, while indirect contact causes the victim to be petrified. Its venom is some of the strongest known to man, and can kill within a minute. Spiders flee before it. A basilisk is born when a toad sits on a fertilized chicken egg." Ross and the other Pokémon looked at the book with a "WTF?" look on their faces. "However, the crowing of a rooster is fatal to a Basilisk." Hermione finished, showing the sketch the author had made. There was a large snake with multiple fangs and red plumage on the top of its head. It had massive yellow eyes. "That looks like what my kids saw in their dream…" Ross said, "But why would they dream of that?" No one had an answer to that question.

Rose, Spark, and Benjamin played in the field with Morrigan, Scratch, and Sebelius. Matthew was keeping watch. Ross was fiddling around with his trunk outside, pulling his Hogwarts clothes on. "Daddy?" Rose asked, "Where are you going?" His two other children also started asking the same question. "I'm going to school in a few days." Ross answered. His children groaned. "I'm learning magic so I can get stronger to protect you and your mommy." Ross said. Benjamin tackled him. "I'm scared daddy! What if you don't come back?" He asked. Benjamin had greatly taken his personality after his father. He planned on becoming a jolteon, which Saria was encouraging. It put a smile on her face seeing her eevee son want to be like his father. "I will…I promise." Ross said.

Jenna, Hermione, Ross, and Harry were in Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley, getting their books. Their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher this year was a man named Gilderoy Lockhart. Harry and Hermione had read the books, as had Ross, and thought something was suspicious. The books made it sound like the guy was stronger than Dumbledore-which raised a few questions. Dumbledore was the only man that the Dark Lord Voldemort had feared, before his body had been destroyed. If what Lockhart had in his books was true, then why hadn't Voldemort been afraid of him...and a spell that cured a werewolf? If it was real, why wasn't it being used?!  Of course, Lockhart had pulled Harry to the front for publicity, one celebrity teaching another. Hermione looked at her friend, seeing his discomfort at being surrounded by reporters. "Well, well, well. Looks like they still allow Mudbloods in the shops." A voice said. The group turned and saw Draco Malfoy standing next to a man that looked a lot like an older version of him with longer hair. "Leave them be, Draco" The man said in a silky voice, "They will learn their place one day." With a turn, the two left the shop. No one noticed the black book that was now in Hermione's cauldron.

Ross packed his school supplies and checked his wand before putting it in an inner pocket of his robes. Harry and Hermione were already packed. "Ross…." Saria said, walking into the room, "I have a bad feeling about this." "Don't worry Saria; I'll get strong enough to protect everyone." Ross replied, his Hufflepuff loyalty shining through. "I have a feeling something terrible will happen in the school this year….and that I may never see you again!" Saria sobbed. "Saria. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will keep me away. Not even death itself can keep me away." Ross said, closing his trunk. "I hope so…" Saria whispered, "I hope so."
