Hey, it's me! Here's another electrifying chapter! Review!
Chapter 21
"Sirius Black was here? In our room?" Gohan asked with surprise the next day while they were eating breakfast in the Great Hall. All everyone was talking about was how Black had infiltrated the castle once again. Despite the castle receiving another thorough search, Black had escaped yet once again. The Fat Lady had returned to her portrait, although she insisted that she wouldn't do it without protection, so Dumbledore hired several security trolls to guard her portrait. Not to mention, Vegeta was extremely pissed off about Black evading him once again. Although, Neville was far worse off. He was banned from all future Hogsmeade visits, and no one was allowed to tell him the new password.
"Yeah! Why did you pick that time to go to the bathroom?" Harry snarled.
"How was I supposed to know?" Gohan sputtered.
"I can't believe I missed him! I could have had him!" Videl frowned as she brushed her pigtails away from her face.
"Didn't I already tell you not to do that?" Gohan glanced at Videl, who simply snarled at him with a look that faintly reminded Gohan of his own mother. Then, Gohan glanced up to see an owl fly in with a red letter attached to its foot.
"Howler!" Gohan yelled, causing everyone to stare at the bird in surprise as it coasted over the Gryffindor Table, before dropping the letter in front of a terrified Neville.
"Run, Neville, run!" Gohan yelled. A terrified Neville nodded as he grabbed the smoking letter and sprinted out the hall. A second later, Augusta Longbottom's roared into the Great Hall, screaming that Neville had disgraced the family name and much stuff like that, reminding Gohan of last year's incident. How his mother had figured out how to make a Howler was beyond him. Gohan chuckled as he opened a letter.
"Huh. Hagrid wants to have tea." Gohan frowned.
"All of us?" Harry frowned.
"No… just me." Gohan frowned in confusion. Later, Gohan walked up to Hagrid's hut and knocked. Hagrid opened it and looked surprised.
"Gohan! I told yeh to meet me in the enterence hall!" Hagrid said with surprise.
"Ah, I got impatient. Can I come in?" Gohan smirked.
"Of cerse." Hagrid smiled as he backed up, letting Gohan in. Gohan smiled as he patted Fang on the head before sitting at the large table. Gohan gave a glance at the rock cakes as Hagrid placed a cup of tea on the table.
"That wes a gret job at the Quidditch match, Gohan!" Hagrid smiled.
"Thanks. And that wasn't even a thousandth of my power. I'm still waiting for my replacement ki bonds, though." Gohan frowned as he gulped down the tea, and winched at the burning feeling in his throat.
"Are yeh okay?" Hagrid asked.
"Yeah. Are you okay? You don't look so good." Gohan frowned. Indeed, Hagrid seemed gloomy.
"Ah, it's jest that Buckbeak's trial is next week, and thing don't look geed fer him, especially with Malfoy at the head." Hagrid sighed.
"I'll help you prepare!" Gohan said. Hagrid smiled.
"No need fer that. Hermione's been helping me with me defense." Hagrid said, surprising Gohan.
"She did?" Gohan asked with surprise.
"Yeh. She's also the reason I needed to talk to yeh today. If Harry and Ron will listen to anyone, it will be you!" Hagrid said, making Gohan sputter.
"Me? You've known them longer than I have!" Gohan said.
"That's not the point. This theng Ron and Harry have with Hermione needs teh step! It's destroying her! She cries all deh time!" Hagrid said, making Gohan blink. He hadn't known that.
"Katie said to wait it out and let the whole thing blow over." Gohan frowned. Hagrid sighed.
"I'd expect that from her. By the way, I'm happy for yeh. She's a nice girl." Hagrid said.
"Thanks." Gohan smiled.
"I'm surprised that yeh adjusted so easily that yeh already have a girlfriend!" Hagrid smiled.
"Thanks." Gohan smiled.
"Enough of that. The point is, if anyone can cause this argument to end, it's yeh!" Hagrid said to Gohan, who sighed.
"I'll try, Hagrid, but ever since Hermione's cat ate Ron's rat, it's like the United States Civil War in that common room!" Gohan groaned as he slapped his face.
"She was jest trying to pretect Harry from Sirius Black." Hagrid added.
"I know…" Gohan sighed.
"Oh, and I thought I saw a purple dragon in the ferest. Yeh know anything about that?" Hagrid said, getting a shocked look on Gohan's face.
"Icarus? Here?" Gohan thought with surprise.
"That all?" Gohan asked.
"No. Another thing is that Lucius Malfoy is on the warpath… fer you." Hagrid said as he pointed at Gohan.
"Me?" Gohan frowned.
"Malfoy's sen said that you attacked him in a wild rage dering the match and almost killed him and his frends." Hagrid said.
"I didn't attack him! I didn't fire that blast! And even if I had, the prat was disguised as a dementor! He was asking for it!" Gohan snarled.
"Careful, Gohan. Messing with Malfoy is dangerous. Ron lerned that the hard way." Hagrid sighed.
"Also, the Quidditch Cup is going to be between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Couincidence?" Hagrid raised an eyebrow.
"You think that Malfoy will try to get me kicked off the team so Slytherin can win?" Gohan frowned. Hagrid nodded.
"He can't do that, can he? I mean, he got kicked out of the Board of Govenors after giving Ginny that diary." Gohan frowned.
"Cept you cant prove it. And Malfoy still holds a lot of influence in the Ministry. Best be careful, Gohan." Hagrid said.
"Thanks, Hagrid. Gotta run, I said that I'd meet Katie in… ten minutes!" Gohan sputtered as he stared at his watch. Hagrid chuckled as Gohan sprinted out the door. An hour later, he walked through the Gryffindor portrait with a goofy smile on his face to see Ron and Harry arguing with Hermione.
"ENOUGH! Now what?" Gohan roared, causing the three to jump and shock and whirl to see him, extremely angry.
"G-Gohan! Are you okay?" Hermione stammered.
"Did Katie dump you?" Ron asked, making Gohan blink.
"What? No!" Gohan sputtered.
"Then, why are you so angry?" Harry asked.
"This! This stops now!" Then, Gohan shoved Harry and Ron onto the couch, and Hermione onto the chair.
"You will make up now!" Gohan snarled as his hair flashed gold, getting terrified squeaks from Ron and Harry.
"Harry, you may be good, but don't forget who taught you your moves!" Gohan snarled as he crossed his arms. Harry gulped and sat silently.
"Ron, you lost your rat. Big deal! I'll freaking pay for an owl!" Gohan snarled.
"But!" Ron froze when Gohan pointed his wand at him.
"You want to vomit slugs again?" Gohan raised an eyebrow, making all three gasp.
"Hermione! Control your cat!" Gohan frowned, making Hermione gasp.
"Don't give me that. And I know that you had good intentions with telling McGonagall about the broom. I understand that." Gohan paused as he took a deep breath.
"Now, what the hell is going on now?" Gohan snarled.
"She threatened to tell McGonagall about the Maurader's Map!" Harry finally said. He blinked, remembering the map that Harry had shown him a few weeks ago.
"Why?" Gohan frowned.
"Because he wants to sneak into Hogsmeade this Saturday! Again! After Sirius Black broke in here! Don't you think that's a little irresponsible?" Hermione said.
"Well… kinda." Gohan admitted.
"You agree with her?" Harry sputtered.
"Look, Harry, do what you want. Just be careful. And I'm not helping you. If I hear you argue again, I'm dropping you all off the astronomy tower with stones attached to your feet." Then, Gohan turned and stalked up the stairs, leaving a shocked Golden Trio.
"Should I tell him about my dream about Cell?" Harry thought. He decided not to. After all, it had been a dream. Hadn't it?
Wow. Intense. A special guest next chapter! Keep reading and reviewing!
