A/N: Okay that chapter was short I know; ten words shorter than the
prologue of my other story. Just like the other story, the chapters will
get longer and longer.
Godzilla2- That is a good idea.
Ian- that's freaky. You and The Vampire Story Hunter keep giving me the same ideas. I think I will do that.
Mr. Namek Dude- how was it confusing? It would help so I could try and make the story, well, less confusing.
Hiaburi- lucky for you, I don't really like pokémon or digimon anymore. I also don't know much about Sailor Moon.
Luna's Meow- Yes I do, and I'm working on it. Superman and X-men, now there are some good ideas. I don't really know anything about Sailor Moon.
SSGohanStrife- those sound good. It'll be later on though, when Gohan has more "control" of his power.

Chapter 2
Gohan groaned silently as he started to regain consciousness. He sent his mind out and realized that he wasn't at Capsule Corps. anymore.
"Blimey! He's waking up guys!" he heard a teenage voice call.
Immediately after, he heard six pairs of feet coming towards him. Gohan realized that he must have used up a lot of energy with whatever happened.
"Do you think this is the guy Dumbledore was talking about?" an older woman inquired.
"He's got to be the one," another male stated. "The letter said that a martial artist would appear sometime this year. Judging by his muscles and the fact that he appeared out of nowhere, I think it's safe to say he's the guy."
Gohan slowly opened his eyes. He squinted to let his eyes readjust to the light then opened them fully. He waited a couple moments until his eyes brought the images into focus.
As soon as Gohan could focus, he realized that there were six people around him. All of them had brown eyes, red hair and freckles all over their face. Two were girls and the rest were guys. Two of them were obviously twins, appearing to be around his age, because they were the same height with almost identical features. A younger male, who was shorter than the first two, stood next to the twins. The tallest, and probably eldest, of the males was regarding him differently than the rest, distrust instead of curiosity. Of the two girls, one was obviously the mother while the other one appeared the same age as the youngest male.
He also noticed that they were in a room with mahogany wooden floors and walls that looked like they would collapse at any moment, and he wondered briefly how they were still standing,
"If I found out this was your fault, Trunks, you are so dead," Gohan stated, still not quite awake. The six strangers blinked at him.
"Trunks? What kind of name is that? Wicked! You've got black eyes," the youngest male cried out.
"Black eyes? I must have used more power than I thought. By the way, my name's Gohan," Gohan said.
"Nice to meet you, Gohan," the mother said. "I'm Mrs. Weasley and these are my children. The tallest one over there is my eldest, Percy. The youngest of them is my daughter, Ginny. Next youngest is Ron. And the ones next to you are the twins, the closer one is Fred and the other one George."
"What are you talking about? I'm Fred and he's George," the twin farther away stated.
"Honestly, woman. And you call yourself our mother?" the other said.
"I'm sorry, boys. You know that it can be incredibly difficult to tell you two apart," Mrs. Weasley stated.
"We're just kidding, mother; I am George," George said. Mrs. Weasley looked like she was about to explode in anger but turned to the guest instead.
"Well, I guess we should get you situated until the school year starts," she said.
"School? What school are you talking about? I never agreed to go to any school," Gohan complained.
"What are YOU talking about? We were told that a martial artist would appear in our house to go to Hogwarts," Percy informed Gohan.
"Hogwarts? What's that?"
"Well it's... I know! I'll just let you read the letter for yourself," Mrs. Weasley proclaimed. She left the room and returned momentarily with a yellow envelope, which she handed to Gohan. He turned it over and read the peculiar address: Mr. G. Son, Second Story Door on the Right, The Burrow.
"The burrow?" Gohan questioned.
"That's the name of our home." Gohan shrugged it off, but stored the information away. He pulled out the letter and began to read it.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump,
International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Son,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. You shall be enrolled as a third year.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress
Gohan pulled out the second sheet with his required materials. He saw that he would need books called "Intermediate Transfiguration", "The Standard Book of Spells (Grade Three)", and "Unfogging the Future". He also needed three sets of plain black work robes, one plain black pointed hat, a pair of protective gloves, a winter cloak, a wand, a cauldron, a telescope, a set of brass scales, a set glass or crystal phials, and an owl, cat, or toad. He quickly realized that he would need some other books, such as the book of spells for the first two years and something for transfiguration for beginners, as well as any other books he was supposed to have gotten in the first two years. He'd definitely be picking out some other books of his own to read.
There was also a ticket for the Hogwarts Express, leaving on September 1 at 11:00 a.m. from platform nine and three quarters.
"What does it mean by third year?" Gohan asked.
"Well, there are seven years of schooling at Hogwarts; they're putting you in the third of seven, that's the same year as Fred and George. Percy is in his fifth year, and Ron is in his first. Ginny won't start until next year," Mrs. Weasley explained.
"Awaiting my response by owl?"
"All messages in the wizarding world are sent via owls. It's easier to keep the muggles out of our business." At Gohan's confused expression, she continued. "A muggle is a non-magic person."
'Vegeta's going to have a laugh at this one when I get back,' Gohan thought. "So where can we get all this stuff, not to mention that the only money I have most likely won't work?"
"They exchange muggle money for wizarding money, don't they Percy?" Mrs. Weasley asked the eldest. Percy nodded his agreement. "You can get all the stuff in Diagon Alley. We best respond to the letter, after all, you've only got one day."
Percy pulled out some parchment and ink and wrote that all of them would be going to Hogwarts. He attached the letter to the leg of an owl and sent it away.
"Well, let's go get the supplies. Don't forget to bring your lists!"
Gohan followed the wizarding family as they walked downstairs, into the family room, and in front of the fireplace. Mrs. Weasley pulled out a pot, and all of the kids pulled out some powdery substance from it. Gohan just stared at it strangely, not sure what to do.
"This is Floo Powder. What you do is take some, walk into the fireplace, announce where you want to go, and throw down the powder. You will be instantly transported there. Why don't you go first, Percy, to show him how it's done."
Percy walked into the fireplace. Gohan locked onto his ki as Percy threw the powder to the ground and exclaimed his destination aloud.
"DIAGON ALLEY!"
Percy disappeared into a green flame. When the flames were gone, Gohan saw that the fireplace was empty. The other Weasleys looked at him expectantly. Gohan shook his head before putting two fingers to his forehead and vanishing.
"He claims that he doesn't know about wizardry, but he can already apparate? Does anyone else find anything odd about that?" Ron questioned getting nods from the rest, while the twins were grinning at each other.
Gohan soon found himself standing a foot away from Percy. The other Weasleys soon followed and fell into the area. Percy appeared to be waiting for something.
"What are you waiting for, Percy?" Gohan inquired.
"The other..." Percy started but stopped at realizing that he was talking to the person he had been waiting for. "How'd you do that?"
"Martial arts technique I learned," Gohan explained.
"That was bloody awesome," George exclaimed. Gohan allowed a small smile onto his face.
"Is there some reason you don't smile very often?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah. It's because it doesn't allow my opponents to see what I'm feeling in battle. I've just become accustomed to keeping my face stoic so no one can tell if they have the advantage or if I'm playing with them."
"Oh."
They all left and headed to Gringotts, the wizarding bank. Gohan pulled out a wallet and exchanged some of his money for the wizards' money. He also pulled out, and ate, a senzu bean when the others weren't looking.
Ginny looked back at Gohan and was about to tell him they were leaving when she let out a gasp of shock. All of the other Weasleys looked at her with questioning glances and she just pointed at Gohan. Their eyes widened in shock too and Gohan stood there with a bored look on his face.
"Wicked!" Fred and George exclaimed at the same time.
"How'd you turn your hair blonde and eyes turquoise?" Percy inquired.
"Are you sure that you don't know any magic?" Ron questioned.
"You look cuter with blonde hair," Mrs. Weasley stated, while Ginny turned away quickly and a faint trace of red came onto Gohan's face.
"I'm positive I don't know any magic. This is just... well, I'm not sure how to explain it." Gohan said, not wanting to explain his saiyan heritage to them. He was now grateful that he had decided to tuck his tail into his gi so the other employees at Capsule Corporations wouldn't see it, as it prevented the Weasleys from discovering it too.
"What are you blushing about? I'm sure that tons of girls back at your home have called you cute, or further." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Um... actually, I've only been in contact with one girl that was even close to my age. Heck, I've only met three people that are within twenty years of my age. You see, we live in the middle of a forest and there aren't any cities of villages for about two hundred miles." Gohan admitted. The Weasleys just stared at him in surprise.
The Weasleys and Gohan then left Gringotts to get their schoolbooks at a store called Flourish and Botts. Gohan got all the books on his list, the ones on Ron's list, and some other books that were of interest for additional reading. Gohan paid for the books and put them in an empty capsule that he had with him, suddenly glad that he always carried extras around, as well as money.
The Weasleys followed Gohan as he walked into a shop to get his robes and hat, since Ron was apparently getting hand-me-down stuff from his older brothers Bill and Charlie. Gohan then went into other stores to get his other supplies. Finally, he was left with only a wand. He walked into the store that obviously sold wands, based on the sign saying that they were fine makers of wands since 382 B.C.
"Ah," an old man said, "another student who needs his wand. Well, don't just stand there, hold out your wand arm," he instructed.
Gohan, being ambidextrous, just held out his right arm. The man pulled out a tape measure that took all kinds of measurements, on its own. When the measurements were taken, Mr. Ollivander started looking for wands.
"Um... excuse me, but how do you decide which wand to get?" Gohan asked.
"It's the wand that chooses the wizard. So it could take a while. It took a particularly long time to find a good wand for Mr. Potter the other day."
Gohan found that it was taking him a long time to find the right wand. He had tried wands from six inches to thirteen and a half inches, from unicorn hairs to phoenix tail feathers to dragon heartstrings.
"Well," Mr. Ollivander exclaimed, "it seems that you and Mr. Potter are trying to break the record for how many wands tried. How about this one? Yew, eight and a quarter inches, unicorn hair." Gohan took the wand and raised it above his head. Before he could even lower it, Mr. Ollivander had taken it away.
"No, no- here, ebony, ten and three-quarters inches, dragon heartstring."
Gohan raised the wand and this time, was allowed to complete the swing. When he swung it down, silver sparks shot out of the tip.
"Ah. Finally found your wand Mr. Son; that will be seven galleons." Mr. Ollivander put the wand back in its box and handed it to Gohan, who paid for it.
As soon as Gohan left the shop, he heard complaints from everyone.
"It took you long enough. What were you doing in there, playing chess?" Ron joked. Gohan smiled and chuckled a bit. He immediately stopped and became red in the face when he heard just about all the nearby girls calling him cute or hot, even though they were whispering it to there friends.
"What are you blushing for?" Ginny asked.
"Well, I have very sensitive hearing and can hear what people are saying if they are within fifty yards of me, even if it's whispered. And unfortunately, there are a LOT of girls within that range whispering about me." The Weasleys all snickered at the demi-saiyan's misfortune.
"All that I've got left to get is an animal."
Gohan walked into the animal store and stared looking at all the different animals, focusing mainly on owls since they seemed the best for mail delivery. He had to hit his head a couple times to make sure that the one he was looking at really looked the way it did. It had black fur all over its body, dark green wings, which matched the undershirt of his gi perfectly, and dark green eyes. Gohan walked up to the owner and purchased it.
Everything except for the owl was placed in an empty capsule. He kept the owl, which he named Piccolo, perched on his shoulder. The Weasleys all returned to the Burrow via floo powder and Gohan went by instant transmission.
When back at the Burrow, the kids put their school supplies into trunks. Gohan, not feeling like training at the moment, started reading the books that he should have studied in the first two years at Hogwarts, as well as the ones he picked up for background information or just out of curiosity. He had even gone into wizards' minds to learn about some of the commonly known knowledge, like quidditch, Lord Voldemort, though apparently everyone was afraid to say his name due to all the evil things he had done, and Harry Potter.
After learning about the sorting into houses, Gohan had sent a letter to Dumbledore asking what he was supposed to do, if he was supposed to go with the first years or with the others for sorting. The reply told him to follow the first years.
Fred and George had told him, much to his disappointment, that he wasn't allowed to practice actual magic outside the school grounds. Unfortunately for Gohan, they had decided to wait to tell him this until after the Ministry of Magic had sent him an owl saying that it had been detected that he had practiced magic illegally, for trying to levitate things.
Gohan spent the remaining days reading or training, but remembering to not do anything that would make it blatantly obvious that he was an alien when he trained in front of the others. Fred and George, though, were definitely shocked to see his sword, and how good he was with it. Gohan was quick to learn that those two were troublemakers and pulled pranks frequently, he had even helped them with some and pulled some on them.
It was finally the day to head to Kings' Cross Station to catch the train to Hogwarts. They had to take the car there since there were no nearby fireplaces that weren't in areas that would cause them to be easily sighted by muggles.
When they got to the station, Mrs. Weasley was complaining how it was always packed with muggles. A young boy with messy black hair and green eyes, who Gohan recognized as Harry Potter, came up and asked them how to get onto the platform, since he didn't know how. Mrs. Weasley was more than pleased to tell him to run into the barriers between platforms nine and ten.
Percy went first and then the twins. Gohan went after them and quickly got on the train and into an empty compartment. He had, once again, heard a lot of murmuring about his muscles and good looks by other wizards on his way. Ron joined him in the compartment soon after, as did Harry. Ron went into something along the lines of shock at finding out who Harry was.
Gohan, being part saiyan, gladly accepted food when the food cart came by. He had been pretty good about hiding his huge appetite at the Weasley's but it had still slipped once when he got too caught up in eating. After that, he had usually eaten his massive quantities, though he had to make his own food, with some manners and the Weasleys had slowly gotten used to it.
Ron had tried performing a spell that Fred had given him that was supposed to make his rat, Scabbers, turn yellow. It didn't work and he got chastised for it by a girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes.
Gohan listened as Ron explained several things about the wizarding world to Harry, before getting bored of that. He changed into his robes and started practicing some spells, realizing that he wouldn't get in trouble for it, for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts.
When they arrived at the stop, they were told to leave their belongings on the train, though Gohan brought his capsulized trunk anyway. He followed Harry to a man as tall as Piccolo that was gathering the first years. Gohan felt somewhat awkward, as he was the tallest of the kids there by at least five inches, not to mention how much his blonde spiky hair stood out in the crowd.
The large man, whom Harry identified as Hagrid, led them to boats near a large lake and told them to get into boats, with no more than four to a boat. No one else joined the three on the boat and Hagrid got one to himself.
The boats moved on there own and everyone was surprised and making comments at how large the castle was. Gohan was talking the least of the size, as he was used to the size of Capsule Corps, even though the castle is obviously several times bigger than it, and he just never showed his reactions outward anyway.
The boats docked at the shore and they were led off of the boats, into the castle, and up to a witch waiting for them in a green cloak and hat.
*************************************************
Got that one done. Man, I had to run back and forth from the computer to my room so many times to check specific details about the book it isn't even funny. I'm not going to actually do all five years left, unless a whole lot of people think I should. The time that Gohan spends in the different dimensions will be slowly decreasing (even though I made a jump from fifteen years down to about five).
I think (stress on the think) that I'm the first to actually put someone in Fred and George's year (please don't bother correcting that if its wrong, even though a lot of you will probably ignore this and do it anyway; just like my brother always does). Gohan will still have interactions with Harry and Hermione through his friendship with Ron, and with the Weasley twins constantly chatting with Ron.
I'm still, and always will be, accepting ideas for where to go. If you want to send Gohan somewhere other than Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Family Guy, Futurama, X-men Evolution, or Matrix (I don't get to go to the movies a lot)(I do watch more that those but they're the only ones that I really know the plot for), then you will have to send me some stuff about the characters, plot, and powers or attacks (if any). YES THAT MEANS ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WANT ME TO SEND GOHAN TO SAILOR MOON OR THE TENCHI UNIVERSE! I CAN'T PUT GOHAN INTO ONE OF THOSE DIMENSIONS IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON THERE! And in those cases especially, I'll need to be given some sort of scenario to put him in; otherwise it will just be like a visit to a friend's house kind of thing.
Godzilla2- That is a good idea.
Ian- that's freaky. You and The Vampire Story Hunter keep giving me the same ideas. I think I will do that.
Mr. Namek Dude- how was it confusing? It would help so I could try and make the story, well, less confusing.
Hiaburi- lucky for you, I don't really like pokémon or digimon anymore. I also don't know much about Sailor Moon.
Luna's Meow- Yes I do, and I'm working on it. Superman and X-men, now there are some good ideas. I don't really know anything about Sailor Moon.
SSGohanStrife- those sound good. It'll be later on though, when Gohan has more "control" of his power.

"What are you talking about? I'm Fred and he's George," the twin farther away stated.
"Honestly, woman. And you call yourself our mother?" the other said.
"I'm sorry, boys. You know that it can be incredibly difficult to tell you two apart," Mrs. Weasley stated.
"We're just kidding, mother; I am George," George said. Mrs. Weasley looked like she was about to explode in anger but turned to the guest instead.
"Well, I guess we should get you situated until the school year starts," she said.

"Well, I have very sensitive hearing and can hear what people are saying if they are within fifty yards of me, even if it's whispered. And unfortunately, there are a LOT of girls within that range whispering about me." The Weasleys all snickered at the demi-saiyan's misfortune.
"All that I've got left to get is an animal."
Gohan walked into the animal store and stared looking at all the different animals, focusing mainly on owls since they seemed the best for mail delivery. He had to hit his head a couple times to make sure that the one he was looking at really looked the way it did. It had black fur all over its body, dark green wings, which matched the undershirt of his gi perfectly, and dark green eyes. Gohan walked up to the owner and purchased it.
Everything except for the owl was placed in an empty capsule. He kept the owl, which he named Piccolo, perched on his shoulder. The Weasleys all returned to the Burrow via floo powder and Gohan went by instant transmission.
When back at the Burrow, the kids put their school supplies into trunks. Gohan, not feeling like training at the moment, started reading the books that he should have studied in the first two years at Hogwarts, as well as the ones he picked up for background information or just out of curiosity. He had even gone into wizards' minds to learn about some of the commonly known knowledge, like quidditch, Lord Voldemort, though apparently everyone was afraid to say his name due to all the evil things he had done, and Harry Potter.
After learning about the sorting into houses, Gohan had sent a letter to Dumbledore asking what he was supposed to do, if he was supposed to go with the first years or with the others for sorting. The reply told him to follow the first years.
Fred and George had told him, much to his disappointment, that he wasn't allowed to practice actual magic outside the school grounds. Unfortunately for Gohan, they had decided to wait to tell him this until after the Ministry of Magic had sent him an owl saying that it had been detected that he had practiced magic illegally, for trying to levitate things.
Gohan spent the remaining days reading or training, but remembering to not do anything that would make it blatantly obvious that he was an alien when he trained in front of the others. Fred and George, though, were definitely shocked to see his sword, and how good he was with it. Gohan was quick to learn that those two were troublemakers and pulled pranks frequently, he had even helped them with some and pulled some on them.
It was finally the day to head to Kings' Cross Station to catch the train to Hogwarts. They had to take the car there since there were no nearby fireplaces that weren't in areas that would cause them to be easily sighted by muggles.
When they got to the station, Mrs. Weasley was complaining how it was always packed with muggles. A young boy with messy black hair and green eyes, who Gohan recognized as Harry Potter, came up and asked them how to get onto the platform, since he didn't know how. Mrs. Weasley was more than pleased to tell him to run into the barriers between platforms nine and ten.
Percy went first and then the twins. Gohan went after them and quickly got on the train and into an empty compartment. He had, once again, heard a lot of murmuring about his muscles and good looks by other wizards on his way. Ron joined him in the compartment soon after, as did Harry. Ron went into something along the lines of shock at finding out who Harry was.
Gohan, being part saiyan, gladly accepted food when the food cart came by. He had been pretty good about hiding his huge appetite at the Weasley's but it had still slipped once when he got too caught up in eating. After that, he had usually eaten his massive quantities, though he had to make his own food, with some manners and the Weasleys had slowly gotten used to it.
Ron had tried performing a spell that Fred had given him that was supposed to make his rat, Scabbers, turn yellow. It didn't work and he got chastised for it by a girl with bushy brown hair and brown eyes.
Gohan listened as Ron explained several things about the wizarding world to Harry, before getting bored of that. He changed into his robes and started practicing some spells, realizing that he wouldn't get in trouble for it, for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts.
When they arrived at the stop, they were told to leave their belongings on the train, though Gohan brought his capsulized trunk anyway. He followed Harry to a man as tall as Piccolo that was gathering the first years. Gohan felt somewhat awkward, as he was the tallest of the kids there by at least five inches, not to mention how much his blonde spiky hair stood out in the crowd.
The large man, whom Harry identified as Hagrid, led them to boats near a large lake and told them to get into boats, with no more than four to a boat. No one else joined the three on the boat and Hagrid got one to himself.
The boats moved on there own and everyone was surprised and making comments at how large the castle was. Gohan was talking the least of the size, as he was used to the size of Capsule Corps, even though the castle is obviously several times bigger than it, and he just never showed his reactions outward anyway.
The boats docked at the shore and they were led off of the boats, into the castle, and up to a witch waiting for them in a green cloak and hat.
*************************************************
Got that one done. Man, I had to run back and forth from the computer to my room so many times to check specific details about the book it isn't even funny. I'm not going to actually do all five years left, unless a whole lot of people think I should. The time that Gohan spends in the different dimensions will be slowly decreasing (even though I made a jump from fifteen years down to about five).
I think (stress on the think) that I'm the first to actually put someone in Fred and George's year (please don't bother correcting that if its wrong, even though a lot of you will probably ignore this and do it anyway; just like my brother always does). Gohan will still have interactions with Harry and Hermione through his friendship with Ron, and with the Weasley twins constantly chatting with Ron.
I'm still, and always will be, accepting ideas for where to go. If you want to send Gohan somewhere other than Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Family Guy, Futurama, X-men Evolution, or Matrix (I don't get to go to the movies a lot)(I do watch more that those but they're the only ones that I really know the plot for), then you will have to send me some stuff about the characters, plot, and powers or attacks (if any). YES THAT MEANS ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WANT ME TO SEND GOHAN TO SAILOR MOON OR THE TENCHI UNIVERSE! I CAN'T PUT GOHAN INTO ONE OF THOSE DIMENSIONS IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON THERE! And in those cases especially, I'll need to be given some sort of scenario to put him in; otherwise it will just be like a visit to a friend's house kind of thing.
