HAPPY HUNTING!
Chapter 14: Pranks, Plans, and Betrayal
When Harry, Sirius, and Gohan arrived at the Burrow they knocked on the door. Ron opened the door and said, "Harry, mate! What are you doing here? How did you get here? Isn't Sirius dead? Who's this?"
"Ron! I am here to give you an offer, I flew here, no Sirius isn't dead, and this is Gohan." (H)
"Nice to meet you Ron." (G)
"Same Gohan. Come on in but I warn you the twins are here right now for lunch and have been leaving their tricks all over the place." (R)
"These two I must talk to, excuse me." (S)
Once in the living room Ron asked, "So what kind of offer?"
"Well I'm dropping out of Hogwarts for sixth year so I can be tutored by Sirius and a few others in magic and go to muggle high school some too with Gohan and I want to know if you want to join in." (H)
"Why drop out of Hogwarts? You should stay close where Dumbledore can better teach you to defend yourself when Voldemort attacks and you have to face him. After all, that's what the prophecy says isn't it, you or him, kill or be killed." (R)
"When did you find out what the prophecy says?' (H)
"A little after you did in the end of first year. Probably about a week after you woke up." (R)
"What did Dumbledore tell you other than the prophecy?" asked Harry acting like nothing was wrong.
"He told me that you didn't trust him and that I should tell him what is going on in you life so you wouldn't hurt yourself." (R)
"What did you tell him?" (H)
"I told him that I would and that I would see him during your quidditch practices." (R)
"So you've been spying on me since the end of first year, did Hermione know the prophecy since the end of first year as well, has she too been spying on me?" (H)
"It wasn't really spying and I don't think Hermione knew the prophecy or was spying on you." (R)
"Is this how people treat their friends in the wizarding world? Keep secrets and spy on them!" (H)
"Look who's talking! Ever since I became your friend all I've ever been is Harry's friend, I was always in your shadow no matter what I did! The only reason I apologized in 4th year was because Dumbledore told me I would get Prefect if I did!" (R)
"Offer has been receded, as has any chance of friendship ever again! Lets get Sirius and leave Gohan." (H)
Harry and Gohan left Ron behind and walked into the kitchen where Sirius was telling the twins of his adventures as a Marauder.
"Gred, Forge, did you ever hear about a prophecy that has to do with me?" (H)
"No Prongs Jr. why?" (G and F)
"Because your dear younger brother knew the contents of one at the end of my first year and didn't tell me. Not only that, he agreed to spy on me so has been since the end of first year! The rest of your family I still consider my extended family but your brother Ron is not even a friend. Did you know the only reason he became a prefect was because he apologized to me in the middle of 4th year. Sirius we got to go before I blow up this house. I hope the store does well while I'm out of the country." (H)
"Wait! Why are you going out of the country?" (G and F)
"I'm going to get tutored by Sirius and a couple others and go to school with Gohan here, in the muggle world." (H)
"That's one hell of a prank! You run away form your Aunt and Uncle's, don't show up for school, leave the country, get Sirius freed, and no one knows where you are but the people who won't tell! We'll send you a note if anything major happens over here, I'm sure Ginny will help If we tell her the basics." (G and F)
"Thanks guys but you missed one point. I'm asking Hermione if she wants to come along like I would have Ron if he hadn't betrayed me. We got to go. Good-bye!" (H)
Harry, Sirius, and Gohan headed off to Hermione's house to see if she wanted to come. Harry knocked on the door once there. Hermione opened the door, squealed, and gave Harry a hug.
"Who's this Harry?" (Hr)
"This is Gohan, a friend I met when I sent a desperate letter off to a random person." (H)
"Harry! You know that can be dangerous! Where are my manners, come on in." (Hr)
"Did Dumbledore tell you about the prophecy at the end of first year?" (H)
"The prophecy in the Department of Mysteries that had your name on it?" (Hr)
"Yeah, that one." (H)
"No, why would he have." (Hr)
"He told Ron and then had him spy on me. Ron only got prefect because he apologized to me after the first event in 4th year." (H)
"Well he can forget about being my friend. What about the rest of the family?" (Hr)
"Only Gred and Forge were there but they were disgusted by Ron's behavior and promised to keep me updated while I was out of the country." (H)
"Wait, why are you going out of the country?" (Hr)
"Well, I'm going to go get tutored by Sirius and a couple others instead of going back to Hogwarts. We've had so many horrible teachers it isn't funny. What with Binns, Snape, Defense, Divination, and those adventures we tend to go on we are way behind on what we should know. I am also going to attend a muggle high school with Gohan at the same time." (H)
"You are so lucky to have such an opportunity!" (Hr)
"Well that's why I'm here. I want to know if you want to come too. The only think is I don't know how far you are in muggle schooling. Do you think you could keep up with 11th grade material?" (H)
"Well, I don't advertise it much at school but I graduated high school and even have a few college degrees." (Hr)
"Perfect, then you'll be in all advanced classes with me and Gohan. That is if you can come." (H)
"Well my mom's on her way home for lunch now so I can ask as soon as she's back. So who will be tutoring us in magic other than the amazing Sirius who just can't stay dead?" (Hr)
"Well, we haven't asked yet but probably Remus, maybe Tonks if we can convince her, and my back from the dead parents." (H)
"How did your parents come back from the dead?" (Hr)
"Gohan and his friend Dende told me about these balls that have magical properties to them so if you bring all seven of them together and awaken the dragon, Shenlong, he will grant any two wishes you have. After gaining their trust and proving I deserved it I got to wish my parents and Sirius back to life and to have Wormtail in front of us in an unbreakable jar." (H)
"That's amazing! I can see why you want to ask Remus to help, but why Tonks?" (Hr)
"Well I have reason to believe I might be a Metamorphmagus but other than that Tonks is a history buff and can teach us what we've missed having Binns as a teacher." (H)
"Anyone else?" (Hr)
"Not in terms of magical education but a couple of different people are going to teach us their martial arts styles to give us an edge on everyone fighting with just magic. Plus then we can defend ourselves without our wands or in an anti-magic field." (H)
"That's cool! I took Shotokan karate before I started at Hogwarts but I can't take lessons anymore because of Hogwarts being a boarding school." (Hr)
"That's good, we don't have to start from scratch with you like we did Harry but then again if you have bad habits we have to reteach you the good habits." (G)
Mrs. Granger unlocked the door and walked inside.
"Mom, these are my friends Harry and Gohan and Sirius Black, Harry's godfather." (Hr)
"It's nice to meet you all." (MG Mrs. Granger)
"Mom, I want to know if I can get tutored with Harry and Gohan this year instead of going to Hogwarts." (Hr)
"What about your other friend Ron?" (MG)
"He betrayed us all when he started spying on Harry for Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts." (Hr)
"You're positive you'll at least keep up with the other students at school?" (MG)
"Mom, there are so many horrible teachers at Hogwarts that they are holding back the potential of their students." (Hr)
"Where will you be tutored and will you only go over magical subjects?" (MG)
"We are going to enroll in a muggle high school that Gohan would have to go to anyway. Wait, Harry, where will we be?" (Hr)
"We will be in Japan." (H)
"That's so far away! I don't know." (MG)
"Please mom! I'll be far away form all the danger here from Voldemort." (Hr)
"Still, you'd be so far away from us." (MG)
"You could always move with us. I know you're not the dentists you always claim you are! I just don't know what you really do for a living." (Hr)
"We are the owners and also inventors for the second largest technological company in the world, second only to Capsule Corps. We are having more and more problems keeping up though, Capsule Corps just come up with such unique things and so fast. Every other technological company is starting to go under." (MG)
"Wait, you own Techmark!" (G)
"Yeah, and like I said, we're starting to go under." (MG)
"Well I'm sure you could merge with Capsule Corps." (G)
"Capsule Corps has never before merged with another company, why would they start now with our company none the less?" (MG)
"Um, because Bulma is a nice person and she is constantly complaining about being surrounded by morons in her company." (G)
"You know her personally and she would do that if you asked?" (MG)
"Yeah, she's my godmother." (G)
"But what would happen to all the workers in my company?" (MG)
"Don't know, you'd have to talk to Bulma about it." (G)
"Anyway, can I please go mom!" (Hr)
"Ok, but what about that law restricting underage magic?" (MG)
""It doesn't go all the way to Japan, just in Europe does that law stay in effect." (Hr)
"I'll call your father and get him to come home." (MG)
Mrs. Granger then left the room to use the phone, Goku instant transmissioned into the living room with Dende at that point.
"Dad, you're alive! How?" (G)
"Don't know. One minute I'm eating the next I'm standing in front of Dende alive!" (Gk)
"It was Puranga." (D)
"Why would he do that though Dende?" (G)
"Puranga watches over the other Eternal Dragons and the wishes that are cast and he said he had never seen a guardian use the Dragon Balls for a more selfless act ever before. Even though Earth seems to be a magnet for trouble I still told Harry about the Dragon Balls and let him use them to bring back his parents and godfather and then capture a criminal who would help free an innocent man of the charges against him. Especially since they had no special importance in the world as far as we knew when we first started on our quest. So as a reward he gave us back a man who we all missed dearly, Goku." (D)
"Hi Goku, I'm Harry Potter."
"Nice to meet you Harry!" (Gk)
"I'm Hermione Granger."
"Nice to meet you Hermione!" (Gk)
"Sirius Black"
"Nice to meet you Sirius!" (Gk)
"Dad, can you do us a favor?" (G)
"Sure Gohan!" (Gk)
"Can you bring Bulma here?" (G)
"Sure just give me a second." (Gk)
Goku disappeared and Mrs. Granger walked back into the room.
"Oh my gosh! You're a green alien! That's so cool! Hi, I'm Jane Granger and that reminds me, the rest of you can call me Jane." (MG)
"Hi, I'm Dende."
Goku instant transmissioned back from Capsule Corps with Bulma and Vegeta.
"Vegeta wouldn't let me go back with Bulma unless he came too. Said something about a Lord Moldyshorts and her needing protection." (Gk)
"Bulma Briefs? It's an honor to meet you. I'm Jane Granger co-owner of Techmark with my husband John." (MG)
"It's nice to meet you Jane though I'm not sure as to why I'm here yet." (B)
"Bulma, I have a favor to ask." (G)
"What would that be?" (B)
"Well, Harry's friend Hermione wants to join us in Japan but her mom is reluctant to let her go so far away and she can't leave her company alone and move with her daughter so we were wondering if you would consider merging with Techmark and having the Grangers move to the Japan offices." (G)
"You know, it's kind of scary that you asked because I was just about to call anyway to see if your company was willing to merge with mine so I could have more workers here in England and move the top officials to Japan with me." (B)
"That is scary." (G)
"Well, you guys work that out. Me, Hermione, Gohan, and Sirius will get the rest of our magical education teachers worked out. Uncle Vegeta, want to come?" (H)
"Why would I want to brat?" (V)
"Because the man who has been lying to me all my life (Dumbledore) will be there as well as probably the man who has been tormenting me since I was eleven (Snape)." (H)
"I'm in. (V)
"Gohan, you grab Sirius, I'll carry Hermione. Just follow me Gohan, Vegeta. You won't be able to see it." (H)
They stepped outside to take off as Goku brought Dende back to the lookout. Just as they were taking off Goku Ited back in to wait to take Bulma back home. 10 minutes later they arrived at 12 Grimmuald Place. Harry and Gohan put down their passengers and Harry walked forward and opened the door. Everyone followed Harry into the Entrance Hall and Hermione closed the door behind them. They walked into the kitchen to find it empty. Next they tried the living room to find Remus, Tonks, Snape, Mrs. Weasley, and Dumbledore arguing not noticing that people had walked through the silencing charm someone put up so as not to disturb the portrait of Mrs. Black.
"We need to find him and bring him back to his relatives." (D Dumbledore)
"He hates it there, he should be with his friends." (R Remus)
"Exactly why he should stay with us at the Burrow." (MW Mrs. Weasley)
"Excuse me!" (H)
Everyone noticed Harry and the others standing just inside the door and quieted while Mrs. Weasley got up and gave Harry a big hug.
"Thank you. Now before you try and force me to do anything I have a few things to say. First of all I will not be going back to Hogwarts for sixth year and neither will Hermione. Secondly, I will never again live with the Dursley's. Thirdly, Vegeta, the man with the long beard has been keeping things I should know and spying on me for a long time and the man with the scowl and greasy hair has tormented me since I was eleven in his class because I look like my father in this form. Fourthly, Professor Dumbledore, Snape, I would like you to leave while I talk to Remus, Tonks, and Mrs. Weasley. Vegeta, can you make sure they don't listen in. If they pull out their wands or say any strange words feel free to knock them out." (H)
"I'll wait outside to talk to you Harry." (D)
Dumbledore and Snape walked out of the room followed by Vegeta who had a slight gleam to his eyes.
"Sirius! How are you alive?" (R)
"Harry brought me back to life with the help of some new friends in Japan." (S)
"Harry, Hermione, if you both are not going to Hogwarts this year what are you going to do and why didn't you invite Ron? He said you three did everything together." (MW)
"Ron betrayed us by spying on Harry for Dumbledore since the end of first year. The only reason he apologized to Harry for not believing that he didn't enter his name in the Goblet of Fire was because Dumbledore promised to make him prefect." (Hr)
"That's horrible! I promise I had no idea Harry." (MW)
"Yeah, Gred and Forge didn't know he did that either. I don't blame you, I still see you as my extended family of sorts. Remus would you like to come with us to Japan and please help to tutor us in Care of Magical Creatures and Potions, I heard from Sirius you were always the best out of the Marauders in that subject." (H)
"I would love to help teach you." (R)
"Tonks, my lovely cousin, would you like to ditch the incompetent ministry and teach history to three enthusiastic students?" (S)
"I would love to ditch the ministry as long as basic needs are taken care of like food and shelter and of course money to go shopping!" (T Tonks)
"They are indeed taken care of and more!" (S)
"Gohan, we better save Dumbledore and Snape from Vegeta and then head off to Diagon Alley for any last supplies we might need. Like supplies for muggle pranks to perform at Orange Star High. Remus, Tonks we'll explain everything later but get all your stuff together quickly so we can leave." (H)
Remus and Tonks headed upstairs to quickly pack all of their belongings so as to be ready to leave the country. Once everyone was ready to leave Harry said, "Remus, Tonks, Sirius, you guys apparate to Diagon Alley. We'll meet up in front of Gringotts."
Once Remus, Tonks, and Sirius were gone Harry picked up Hermione and took off for the Leaky Cauldron. They walked through quickly trying not to draw any attention to themselves and headed for Gringotts. Once they met up with Remus, Tonks, and Sirius they all went inside to get some money and take care of some issues.
"Griphook, I'd like to talk to whoever is in charge of all Potter accounts." (H)
"Right this way Mr. Potter." (Gr Griphook)
"Uncle Vegeta, you can come along this way cause I don't want you to kill anyone, to much of a hassle." (H)
Harry and Vegeta followed Grip hook down a few corridors to a room marked Potter Family Account Manager. Inside was an important looking goblin going over the contents of a folder.
"Mr. Potter, it's nice to finally meet you. I am Shnermuck." (Sh Shnermuck)
"Nice to meet you too. The quiet man behind me is my Uncle Vegeta. I'd like to know if anyone has access to the Potter vaults other than myself and what they have done recently if anyone does have access." (H)
"Dumbledore has access and strangely enough this list also includes your parents which it hasn't since they died. Dumbledore takes 10,000 galleons out of your account a month and has been since your parents died." Said Shnermuck with disgust in his voice.
"I want Dumbledore to no longer have access to my accounts. Is there a way I can get back all the money he's taken?" (H)
"You could sue him and expose to the world what a manipulator he is." (Sh)
"For now I just want to get back the money he took. Can you take care of that for me?" (H)
"Yes, that can be arranged. Is there anything else you need?" (Sh)
"Can I have a list of all Potter assets?" (H)
"Here you go." (Sh)
"That's all I need, thanks." (H)
"Good-bye Mr. Potter, Vegeta." (Sh)
Griphook led Harry and Vegeta back out to the lobby where they found the others back already. Gohan tossed Harry his moneybag.
"So where to first?" (H)
"Well I'd like to get a wand first before I spend the rest of my money on books." (G)
"Anyone against that?" (H)
Everyone else shook his or her head.
"Ok, then me, Gohan, and Vegeta will go to Ollivanders for Gohan's wand. We'll meet up with you in the bookstore." (H)
"Ok, see you in a few." (Hr)
"Why do I always have to go with you brat?" (V)
"Well you're really intimidating which helps keep the paparazzi off my back. Plus, Gohan and me are the only ones that match you in strength. Well, more so Gohan in the strength department but if I hit you with a spell you're out cold." (H)
Once inside Ollivander's Ollivander tried to scare his customers with the usual creep up behind them trick but failed miserably.
"Hello Mr. Potter, I wasn't expecting to see you anytime soon and who are your friends?" (MO Mr. Ollivander)
"Hello, this is Gohan and my Uncle Vegeta, Gohan needs a wand and we both need wand holsters." (H)
Alright, which is your wand hand?" (MO)
"I'm ambidextrous." (G)
"Interesting, never see many of those in the wizarding world. You'll need two wands, one fore each hand. Hold out your arms please." (MO)
Ollivander had started to measure Gohan when Harry noticed one of the boxes with a wand in it was glowing.
"Ollivander, why is that box over there glowing?" (H)
Ollivander's head snapped around to look at Harry.
"Which box?" (MO)
"That one over there." (H)
"Bring it over here." (MO)
Harry grabbed the glowing box and brought it to Ollivander all the while the measuring tape kept going.
"Open the box and give the wand inside a wave with your left hand." (MO)
Harry waved the wand and produced a few sparks but nothing much. Ollivander took a closer look at the wand and found it wasn't a wand at all, it was a shrunken staff. He enlarged the staff.
"Mr. Potter, an you please wave this again." (MO)
Harry took a hold of the staff and waved it. A rainbow shot out of the staff filling the room with colors.
"No wonder we had such a hard time finding a wand for you Mr. Potter. That staff is the staff of Salazar Slytherin. Few knew that he had a staff. No one has had a staff in 1000 years. The last to have staffs were the founders of Hogwarts. You are indeed a mysterious person Mr. Potter." (MO)
"Gohan, you think that might happen to you to?" (H)
"Only one way to find out." (G)
Gohan flashed his chi and transformed into Super Saiyan X.
"I see two glowing boxes. Guess it wasn't just you, maybe it has to do with our genetics." (G)
"Can you please fetch the two glowing boxes." (MO)
"Sure thing." (G)
Gohan grabbed the box right next to the one Harry had just grabbed and one on the opposites wall.
"Please wave the one from the right side of the room with your right hand and hand me the other box." (MO)
Gohan handed over the box from the left and waved the wand from the right. Sparks went flying everywhere showering the room in a golden and turquoise light. Ollivander looked into the second box to see exactly what he was expecting, the staff of Godric Gryffindor. He unshrunk the staff and handed it to Gohan who waved it with his left hand. Once again the room was filled with a rainbow of colors.
"What kind of holsters would you like?" (MO)
"Arm holsters." (H)
"Standard or deluxe?" (MO)
"What type of protections do they have?" (H)
"Standard has a notice me not spell and an unbreakable spell on it. Deluxe has those and it stops a wand from being summoned, if you drop your wand it returns to the holster, and if you flick your wrist the wand will appear in your hand." (MO)
"We'll take two deluxe each if they work with the staffs." (H)
"It works the same with staffs but they shrink when in the holster and are returned to their original size when removed." (MO)
"Ok then, two each and do us the favor of not telling Dumbledore that we have these staffs or that we were even here today." (H)
"That will be 57 galleons, 3 knuts for you Mr. Potter and 69 galleons, 2 sickles for you Gohan." (MO)
They handed over the money and left for the bookshop. The first book Harry grabbed was on Occlumency and Legitimacy. While they were wandering through the store Harry and Gohan noticed a large stack of books called 'The Invisible Book of Invisibility'. Harry grabbed a couple thinking of Gred, Forge, and those who helped him at the ministry. Once everyone had been reunited and found all the books they wanted they went to check out. Harry went up last with his collection of 30 books and put them down. The clerk looked at the seemingly floating books and called his manager over.
"Where did you find those books?" (M manager)
"There are 30 there, you're going to have to be more specific than that." (H)
"The invisible ones on the bottom." (M)
"Oh, those. They were in the back corner that was kind of dark." (H)
"If you can bring the rest of them over here than I'll give you the books you want to purchase for free." (M)
Harry went back and grabbed the rest of the invisible books when one caught his eye. It wasn't 'The Invisible Book of Invisibility' but instead a book in a strange hieroglyphic type of writing. Harry added the book in hieroglyphics to his stack and gave the rest of 'The Invisible Book of Invisibility's to the manager. The group then left to get all the potions ingredients they could possibly need for the next year. Once all the shopping was done the adults apparated to Hermione's house while the Saiyans and Hermione flew. The group walked inside to see Bulma shaking hands with Jane and John.
"So…" (Hr)
"Well it looks like the Granger family is moving to Japan. Bulma has graciously invited us to stay with her until we find a house so Hermione, you may go now with your friends and we will arrive in a week or two after everything is packed up." (MG)
Hermione squealed and hugger her parents.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" (Hr)
Hermione rushed upstairs to get everything packed while Bulma and her parents discussed a few more details.
"That reminds me Harry, where will we be staying?" (R)
"At Bulma's until my parents can set up one of the mansions in Japan for all of us." (H)
"Wait! Your parents are alive too! Is everyone coming back from the dead today?" (R)
"No. They were brought back to life two days ago on the 2nd of July." (H)
"Hey, can someone help me with my trunk, I can't lift it anymore." (Hr)
"Sure." (G)
Gohan went upstairs and grabbed the trunk easily lifting it and brought it downstairs.
"Jeesh. I didn't know you were that strong Gohan." (Hr)
"This is nothing and after you've trained some this will seem like nothing to you too." (G)
"Is everyone ready to go?" (Gk)
"Yep." (Everyone but Mr. and Mrs. Granger)
"Ok then, everyone hold on to either me or someone touching me and make sure you're grabbing on to your stuff. Everyone set?" (Gk)
"Yep." (Everyone but Mr. and Mrs. Granger)
Everyone disappeared leaving the Grangers to pack their things and inform their company.
AN: There it is, the longest chapter you will ever get out of me, 22 pages long and almost 5000 words long! I hope you're happy! If anyone has any questions on how something works or about the plot just review and ask me. I will probably be able to tell you the answer to your question within a week. I have nothing untyped up at the moment so it might take slightly longer than usual for an update and I intend to update my other stories as well sometime later today or tomorrow but you never know. I really have been putting it off for too long. It's just after midnight and I'm getting tired so I say until next time. Remember to Review!
