I've had a lot of difficulty in choosing what this story should be about. My options are vast and I have many ideas on what to write, but I've finally decided to write this story due to the fact that enjoy both Dragon Ball Z and Harry Potter and have had this idea ever since I started my last story. I hope that everyone who reads this story will enjoy it and continue to read. There are somethings I would like to say before I start the story though. First, the story will take place during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. Second, a band of looters murdered Chi Chi and the Ox King right after Goku refuses to be revived by the Dragon Balls, and when Gohan returns his anger returns and he kills the men responsible. Therefore, you can expect to have a slightly darker Gohan in this story, but he still is pure of heart. Next, Videl has been attending Hogwarts ever since she was eleven and has been best friends with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Just imagine her to have been in every adventure they went on. Lastly, Horcruxes never existed in this story and Voldemort has only survived over the years by pure luck.
I do not own either Dragon Ball Z or Harry Potter!
Chapter 1: Faithful Meeting
Five years is an awfully long time for someone to live by themselves. The boy had seen way too much leading up to the faithful day that he had lost so much and he knew he could no longer take anymore of it. From that day, he swore that he would never again lose control of himself and that he would be there to protect the world from any evil. That was the day where he packed up everything he had and began his journey around the world to escape his past.
So why did he hurt so much after five long years of traveling all by himself across the globe? Why did the memories always comeback no matter how hard he tried to run away? Was he ever going to live in peace as he wanted or was he destined to live a life of sadness?
No matter how hard he thought about this, his mind drew a blank. For five long years, Gohan Son had traveled the world training and helping anyone who was in need of help. This was all that he had known for those years and he was perfectly content in the way things were going since the traveling did seem to heal his aching heart. However, for the past few weeks it seemed as if someone was tracking him down and the young man didn't like the feeling one bit. At first, he thought that he was just imagining what he felt, but the feeling continued and eventually it turned into a feeling of being watched constantly.
'I know that I'm being watched by someone. I'm going to have to draw this person out in the open if I want to figure out who it is. I feel his presence, but it feels weird as if something was masking his energy and was distorting it.' Thought Gohan as he walked through the Black Forest of Southern Germany.
Good thing that he continued to exercise his mind over the past and was a master tactician. He had a plan that he was sure to catch his stalker off guard.
That night he decided to spend it meditating out in an opening upon a massive rock. He sat there for four hours waiting for the ki that he had felt lately appear once again. Finally, when he was beginning to think that he was imagining what he felt. Suddenly, it came out of nowhere, it was within a fifty-yard radius, but that was all that he could tell. The ki then started to move in his direction and soon it was just beyond the edge of the clearing. Gohan knew that he had to wait for the perfect chance to strike otherwise he would fail and whoever was nearby would be alerted to the fact that Gohan knew that he was being watched.
Suddenly Gohan felt the ki of whoever the stalker was rise just a fraction, but it was all that was needed as Gohan yelled out and surrounded the himself and the area that contained the mysterious person in a ki shield.
"I want to know who's there! Show yourself or I will be forced to take drastic measures! I don't ask twice!" Shouted Gohan into the night.
All Gohan heard in response was a chuckle coming from behind a tree ahead of him. "Well Mr. Son you are one difficult person to locate and here I am thinking that I was hidden pretty well and yet you still found me." Answered a powerful voice, although it was powerful Gohan could tell that the one speaking was very old.
"Show yourself now and tell me your name and why have you been looking for me?" Asked Gohan.
Out from behind the tree stepped none other than Professor Dumbledore. "It's a pleasure to meet you Gohan Son…my name is Albus Dumbledore and I have a favor to ask of the one who defeated Cell."
Confusion flashed across Gohan's eyes as Dumbledore stated that last part. Gohan could see that the old man ahead of him was friendly looking, looked old and frail, had piercing blue eyes that seemed to gaze into one's soul, and was wearing an odd cloak of some sort. However, Gohan knew that looks could be deceiving and sensed that the man radiated out power and strength.
"How did you know that?" asked Gohan in barely a whisper. 'The only ones that knew that I defeated Cell are members of the Z-Fighters. So how does he know that?' he asked himself as Dumbledore smiled a bit more.
"I know that you defeated Cell Gohan because I saw you end that creature's existence. I went to the Cell Games ready to fight and save the world. However, when I saw how truly powerful Cell was, I knew that you and your friends were the Earth's only chance. I also know what you are and what you've done in the past. I have never told anyone this information and will not as long as you desire it." Dumbledore explained.
"B-but how did you find out about all of the other things?" asked a very shocked Gohan.
"Well Gohan as you probably know my ki is unlike most people's ki. That is because I am a wizard and I have used my powers to do research on you Gohan. I must say that you are very powerful young man that has had the fate of the world on your shoulders and always comes out on top." Stated Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eyes.
"So you're a wizard? I guess I shouldn't be surprised since your ki does feel similar to Baba's, and she is a witch. So what do you need my talents for sir?" asked Gohan as his voice suddenly switched to a more serious tone.
"Ahh yes sit down and let me explain the magical community's situation." Said Dumbledore as he sat at nearby rock, Gohan took the one across from him. "You see, years ago the magical community was at war with a very powerful dark wizard named Voldemort. It was dark times for everyone as both sides lost loved ones in the war. Voldemort was unstoppable, many were beginning to lose hope, and that Voldemort would win. It was during this time that a prophecy was made about a young man, whose name is Harry Potter. It stated that Harry was the only one that could defeat Voldemort. Voldemort learned of this prophecy and went after the boy, we tried to hide him, but Voldemort found his parents and him. That night Voldemort killed both Lilly and James Potter with little regret, he then proceded to kill young Harry. Lilly gave her life to protect Harry and thus created a shield using ancient magic that prevented Voldemort from harming Harry. Voldemort paid no attention to this and when he cast the killing curse at Harry the spell rebounded, destroyed Voldemort's body, and sent him into hiding. However, five years ago Voldemort tried to regain power by breaking into the school I work at known as Hogwarts, and just like last time young Harry was able to stop him. Unfortunately Voldemort has regained his power once more two years ago and is now fighting us once again." Explained Dumbledore as he observed Gohan's rather stoic expression.
"So I'm guessing that you want me to help put an end to Voldemort." Guessed Gohan.
"Exactly! But I would also like to invite you to work in my school as the security adviser and last I would also like to ask if it would be possible to train Harry and his friends in martial arts?" Asked Dumbledore.
"Hmm…will I have a place to train them and myself?" asked Gohan
"Of course you will have a place to train." Answered Dumbledore.
"Now how would the magical community react to me being non-magical?" Asked Gohan.
"Most would be outraged by this, but a few would be delighted by this fact. Voldemort would also put you on his most wanted list right behind Harry Potter when he finds out." Answered Dumbledore.
"Hmm…as long as I get a good fight for once you have my services at your disposal sir." Said Gohan as he stood up and extended his arm to Dumbledore, which Dumbledore shook with a wide grin planted on his face.
"That is wonderful Gohan! Now I have arranged for you to stay with a friend of mine who lost a dear friend to him lately. His name was Sirius Black and Sirius happens to be Harry's godfather. I'm hoping that you might be able to help him through this ditch and get him back on track. Last, Professor Lupin will show you where the Burrow is, the Burrow is the home of a family who is very close to Harry. While watching the house I would like you to remain unseen unless you are really needed." Stated Dumbledore.
"That I can do sir…now let's go meet this Professor Lupin now." Stated Gohan as he walked over to Dumbledore.
"That is fine for me since he is expecting you." Answered Dumbledore as he pulled out a tin can.
"What is that?" asked a confused Gohan.
"It is what we call a portkey and it can take us to anywhere we like in less than a second. Just grab a hold and wait for a few seconds." Answered Dumbledore with a slight chuckle.
"I guess I'm going to have to ask this Lupin about the magical world." Muttered Gohan which earned another chuckle from Dumbledore. The two of them then teleported away from the Black Forest in a blink of the eye.
The past month hadn't been the greatest month for Remus Lupin. He had just last the last of his childhood friends to Voldemort and Harry had just lost his Godfather. The ministry was practically calling him a supporter of You-Know-Who just because he was a Werewolf. The only source of happiness of the summer was his friend Nymphadora Tonks. She was his partner in the Order of the Phoenix, and often visited them when they weren't fighting. He couldn't help but feel slightly attracted to Tonks and it worried him, since he didn't want her to become an outcast herself.
However, none of that was relevant at the moment as he sat in his living room. Dumbledore had sent him an owl stating that he would visit him that night with a powerful ally that could turn the tide of the war. He also knew that this person was going to be the new Head of Security at Hogwarts, and that he would be staying at his house until the next day when they would go to the Borrow.
'I wonder when they are going to arrive? It is already midnight and there still hasn't been any sign of Dumbledore or this mystery guest.' Thought Lupin, but just then a popping noise could be heard outside. Soon he heard knocking at his door. Lupin slowly got up and walked towards his cottage door.
"Who is it?" He asked warily.
"It is I Dumbledore bringing Gohan Son." Replied someone who had Dumbledore's voice, but Lupin didn't want to be fooled.
"Where did I go when it was a full moon at Hogwarts?" he asked.
"To the Shrieking Shack my friend." Replied Dumbledore. Lupin then threw open the door and hugged his former Headmaster.
Gohan stood off to the side as the two grown men embraced each other for a few seconds. He immediately noticed that this Remus Lupin looked extremely weak and pale. His nose also seemed to notice that this man seemed to smell like a wolf.
"Now Remus I would like to introduce you to Gohan Son here." Said Dumbledore as he pointed at Gohan. Too say that Remus Lupin was shocked would be the understatement of the century. He just gawked at the boy that was no older than Harry in front of him.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Lupin, as Dumbledore stated I am Gohan Son." Said Gohan in a serious matter as he extended his hand towards Lupin.
Lupin just stared at Gohan for a second wondering how this kid could change the tide of the war against Voldemort. Then he caught a glimpse at Gohan's eyes and saw eyes that had seen way too much for his age. "Umm…it's nice to meet you Mr. Son." Lupin finally managed to say as he shook his hand.
"Yes I may seem young, but I much experience in matters such as these. I wish to help in this war and contribute to your cause in anyway possible." Answered Gohan.
"Indeed he does Remus, Gohan here has much to explain to you. Now I must be going now." Stated Dumbledore as he left the house.
"He is a bit too trusting in my opinion." Stated Gohan out of the blue causing Lupin to stare at him in shock.
"Yeah I guess he is. Now what did Dumbledore mean by you explaining stuff to me?" Asked Lupin.
With that Gohan proceeded to tell, Lupin about his life and all of his exploits leading up to the Cell Games. Lupin could not believe what he was hearing; it pained his heart as he listened to Gohan's life. Not to mention the fact that Gohan had defeated Cell even when some of the best aurors in the Ministry of Magic couldn't even hurt Cell. Lupin was also intrigued about the Dragon Balls, and what power they had. Soon Gohan was finished with his story and Lupin had a very important question to ask of him. But first Lupin explained to him the finer points of majic and more about the story of Harry Potter and himself and Sirius. Gohan and Lupin both seemed to find a great amount of respect for each other over the hour.
"Gohan I know that we just met…but do you think that it might be possible to use the Dragon Balls?" Asked Lupin.
"You want to wish your friend Sirius Black back to life right?" Asked Gohan only to receive a nod from Lupin. "Well it's a good thing that I took one of the Dragon Radars before I left home. Now tomorrow we can go find the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron, to make two wishes. It shouldn't take to long to find all of them and Harry cannot learn of Sirius being back too soon." Stated Gohan.
"I agree but I would like for him to know before he starts school. I know that his death must have hit him harder then anyone else. Well how about I show you where you will be staying and tomorrow we can leave." Replied Lupin.
"Sure I need some sleep even though I need less than everyone else." Replied Gohan as he followed Lupin to his room.
That night Gohan thought about all that had happened in the last six hours. 'It seems like my life is starting to get better…I just hope that I don't fail again.' With that, Gohan quickly fell to sleep.
That morning Gohan awoke to the sun in his face. He soon got up and dressed into his usual Gi and went downstairs where he could smell something cooking. His nose didn't disappoint him as he walked in to find a pile of food waiting for him.
"Good you're up! Dumbledore had a few elves from Hogwarts come over and make you a feast even though I don't understand why there is so much food though." Stated Lupin.
"Well I eat quite a bit of food." Said Gohan just before he started to devour the food. Lupin didn't know what to think of this kid who was making the mountain of food disappear right before his eyes. Soon Gohan was finished with all of it.
"Well we better get going! It will take a few hours to find all of the Dragon Balls, on the Earth. A matter of fact I better go without you, since it could take a few weeks if you tagged along." Stated Gohan just before he left the room.
"Sure! Just get all of the Dragon Balls Please!" Shouted Lupin as he heard the door slam.
It didn't take Gohan too long to find the Dragon Balls. None of the Z-Gang thought that it was a good idea to have any of them in their possession just in case some nut came after it. So after about five hours of searching and Gohan was on his way back to Lupin's.
"Lupin are you ready to summon Shenron!" Shouted Gohan as he opened the door.
"Yeah let's get going." Said Lupin as he walked out the door. Due to the fact that Lupin was a werewolf he lived secluded from most of the world so no one would be able to see the dragon if it was summoned. "So these are the seven magical Dragon Balls. I would've thought that the Ministry would know all about them." Stated Lupin.
"Well my friends have been watching over them for quite a bit of time now." Answered Gohan as he walked up to the balls.
"ARISE SHENRON!" Shouted Gohan as the balls began to glow. Soon a beam of lightning shot from the ball, the lightning wrapped around itself and began to change form. When it was all over Shenron floated above the balls with the black sky behind him. Lupin took a few steps back after he saw the massive dragon.
"WHO HAS DISTURBED MY SLEEP?" Boomed Shenron.
"I HAVE SHENRON; I WISH THAT SIRIUS BLACK WAS ALIVE ONCE MORE AND AMONG US." Shouted Gohan as Shenron's eyes glowed for a second before they went back to normal.
"I AM SORRY YOUR WISH CANNOT BE DONE. THE ONE KNOWN AS SIRIUS BLACK FELL THROUGH THE VEIL AND IT BLOCKS MY MAGIC FROM WORKING." Boomed Shenron again.
"I'm sorry Lupin, but Shenron isn't all powerful. Is there anything else you would like to wish for?" asked Gohan.
"No Gohan, that is fine…I just wanted my friend back." Answered Lupin in a somber tone.
"Well I have one, SHENRON I WISH THAT MY FRIEND REMUS LUPIN WAS CURED OF HIS LYCANTHROPY!" Shouted Gohan to the surprise of Lupin.
Shenron's eyes glowed for second and he soon spoke. "YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED. WHAT IS YOUR FINAL WISH!" Boomed Shenron.
"THAT IS OKAY SHENRON! WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE ANYMORE WISHES…YOU MAY LEAVE!" Shouted Gohan and with that Shenron disappeared and so did the Dragon Balls for another year. Gohan then looked over at Lupin to find that he was glowing a bit. After a few seconds the glow disappeared and Gohan could already tell by his scent that he was cured.
"Gohan…Thank you for this! I don't know how I could ever repay you for your kindness." Lupin managed to squeak out.
"No problem Lupin…Now lets get go to the borrow now and you can introduce me to everyone." Stated Gohan.
"Sure we can go by apparition so it shouldn't take too long." Answered Lupin as he grabbed Gohan, and with that the two of them disappeared.
Well there it is Chapter 1 on of my new story DBZ Hogwarts! I have put this under Dragon Ball Z instead of it being a crossover for the fact that it will mostly focus on Gohan and how he interacts with everyone else. Although Harry will play a major role, since he is the chosen one. Next chapter I will introduce the Weasley's, Harry, Hermione, and Videl as well as going through the rest of the summer so it will be one of my longest chapters ever. Also Lupin is going to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher again.
