Brothers Under the Sun
Chapter 10:
Reunion
Harry dreamed. Dreamed of the same man from his dream a few months ago and a woman with beautiful black hair. He dreamed that was a baby again, and was laying in a crib with another baby. One that he felt a connection to.
When he woke, he opened his eyes to see the other baby from his dream, except now he was no baby, but a boy like him. Strong black eyes that Harry recognized stared into his own.
Both felt the connection. The sensation of a hole in their lives being completely filled in by the presence of each other.
"I know you," Harry stated softly. "You're my….brother…" he'd never be able to explain how he knew, it was just one of those things.
Vegeta nodded simply, in awe at being reunited with his long lost sibling. He cursed his father, not for the first time since he found out, for sending his brother away. "Yes, I'm Prince Vegeta and you are Prince Colli."
Meanwhile in Dumbledore's office…
"Tell me your intentions for young Harry." Dumbledore demanded calmly.
Nappa did not sit down as the professor had meant him to, "The intent is for him to return with us. Recently our planet was destroyed by a tyrant called Frieza. Seven years ago, Frieza had our queen killed, and our King was killed in the battle that destroyed our world. This has left our crowned prince without a family. I promised our King that I would find Prince Colli and reunite he and his brother and ultimately bring him home where he belongs. I intend to do that. As soon as he has recovered."
Albus Dumbledore steepled his fingers, "I'm afraid it will be impossible for Mr. Potter to leave the planet. He belongs here, the Wizarding World needs him. And this is where he is safest."
"And I'm afraid you have no choice," Nappa countered. He wanted so badly to just kill the headmaster and be done with it, but, better to be tactful if only to keep Frieza from finding out where they were. "Not only do the princes have the right to get to know each other, but as you have seen, Prince Colli will need proper training in the warrior ways. He is not a wizard as you believe he is. It's just his KI that makes him able to use your stupid magic. He has to return with us."
"What will happen when this Frieza finds out about….Colli?" Dumbledore asked now wisely using the name the other man was using. "Won't he be in danger, if this Frieza is powerful enough to destroy whole planets? I agree the brothers should be able to be together and bond as brothers should. I suggest the three of you stay here. We can house you and use our magic to shield you from this Frieza. You said that is Ki that allows Harry to use his magic, then that should be the same for young Vegeta as well. We could outfit him with a wand. Learning Wizard Magic and your way of fighting both would give them TWO ways of combating this evil, would it not?"
Nappa appeared to think this over. He had promised the King that he would protect his sons. Maybe…just maybe…this would be the best way to do so. By keeping them BOTH as far away from Frieza as possible.
"There is another boy to think about. Raditz's little brother. He is only seven, would you be able to house him as well." The unspoken condition did not miss Dumbledore, if he was unable to offer all five of them a place then the deal would be off. Nappa was strong, powerful, but he was also in the position of protector. He would do anything possible to fulfill that position. "And, the King also said that there are other missing Saiyans out there, I must be able to go and search for them as needed. Can you provide a place big enough for as many as there are until we are able to locate a new planet to live on?"
"I can." Dumbledore stated. "Are we agreed?"
Nappa thought to himself briefly and answered, "I must first speak with the Prince. I cannot make any such decision without his approval."
Dumbledore nodded, "Very well. But, it is late. This will keep until morning. It is time to sleep, I'll have Madam Pomfrey set you and Mr. Raditz up with a bed."
Nappa nodded, "Set up one for Raditz's brother as well. We left him alone on the ship thinking we'd be back inside the hour. If we leave him up all alone, all night, we'll have no ship." he chuckled at the thought of the small Kakarot's clumsiness. "Kids."
Author's Note: This one was hard to write. Could be because this is the third I've typed tonight and I am tired. But here it is. Chapter 10, the reunion.
