Chapter Seven: Potions and DADA Class
It was the start of a new day and everyone was in the Great Hall eating breakfast.
"Albus, this you see the Daily Prophet yet?" asked McGonagall in a low whisper.
"Yes, Minerva, I have seen it, and it's terrible thing that could happen to a muggle city. I'm wondering who was behind it." Replied Dumbledore.
"Could it possibly be You-Know-Who?" asked McGonagall.
"I doubt that even he, as great a wizard he is, could make a city that size disappear in an instance. Let's no talk about it here, just in case someone hears us." He said looking directly at Gohan.
"Hey Kurama, I have a question." Said Gohan
"What is it?"
"Well, last night, did you feel anything strange or something like that?" asked Gohan
Kurama replied, "No, why? Is there a problem?"
"No, just wondering."
It was now time for the Gryffindor first years' class: Potions. They had it with Slytherin.
Yuske and his friends had found out why Harry had said that he was the most disliked teacher. Kuwabara whispered to Yuske, "What's that smell? I think it's from Snape." Yuske snickered.
"Five points from Gryffindor for whispering, Mr. Kuwabara." Said Snape.
"What.but that's not..hey, what about them? They're whispering too." Said Kuwabara pointing at a couple of Slytherins.
"A further ten points from Gryffindor for talking back and accusing other students." Replied Snape.
Kuwabara was furious. "Oooh, I'm so scared of the potions master taking points away. Help me." Said Yuske with a smirk on his face.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?????" shouted Snape
"You heard me, or are you deaf too?" joked Yuske.
Snape came to Yuske's table and gave his darkest glare. Some of the first years got scared.
"Oh look, he's trying to glare you down Yuske. Pity, I've seen scarier ones from my two-year-old brother," Laughed Gohan, "if you want to see a decent glare, then watch." Gohan gave the glare that he used in battles when he was very pissed.
When Snape saw this, he gulped and started to back away.
"I didn't know that wizards were afraid of people just because of their eyes." Smirked Gohan. He had put Snape in his place.
"YOU WHAT??? Are you serious? Did you really scare Snape?" asked Harry.
"Yea...it was easy. Anyone could do it if they tried. By the way, where' Hermione?" replied Gohan.
"Oh, she's in the library as usual," Answered Ron, "you're lucky, you get DADA next, we have Potions. Too bad you guys couldn't be in our year."
"Whatever you say." Said Kuwabara.
The first years entered the DADA classroom only to find it empty. "I wonder where he is." Said one boy from Hufflepuff. "Well, my brother had him last year and said that he was a werewolf. They probably let him in because they trusted him but he probably left before class started because he didn't want to hurt anyone." Said another boy. ~I was right then~ Thought Gohan who was listening to the conversation.
Then they heard someone enter. "Good afternoon class." Said Lupin as he entered, he was carrying a huge case. There was a black dog following him. (Can you guess who the dog is? ^^) Then there was another man following him. "This," he said pointing to the man, "is Professor Braddock. He is my assistant and will fill in for me during the times I'm out."
"Today, we will start on how to protect yourselves against boggarts. Now, can someone tell me what a boggart is? Ahh, yes you." He said while pointing to a girl in Gryffindor.
The girl answered, "A boggart is a shape-shifter that forms the shape of the victim's worst fear."
"Very good, five points to Gryffindor."
He explained more about boggarts including the spell to stop it.
"Ok now, I want you to form a line. Each person will take a turn to face the boggart." Said Lupin.
They fought against the boggart until time was up. Only half of the Gryffindors didn't get a chance to fight it.
"Alright class, that's enough for today. Those who didn't go against the boggart will get a chance next week." Said Lupin
The class emptied out and went to their next class.
This was the way things went for a two months. Snape was still scared of Gohan and his gang. The Gryffindors never got a chance to go against the boggart because the one that Lupin had had escaped and now he couldn't find anymore.
Then one night, Gohan was once again looking out the window when he felt something. He couldn't really figure out why he felt this way. He got up and walked to his bed but instead tripped on something. When Gohan looked down to see what he tripped on, he saw a brown rope.
He tried to pull the rope but when he pulled it, he looked in horror to see that it was attached to his butt.
"Damn it! My tail grew back? Damn it!!"
"Well, I see your tail has grown back." Said Kurama who entered the room.
"Yea well, it's not like I wanted it to." Replied Gohan.
"I guess you have to be more careful to not look at the full moon."
"Yea, I guess."
Gohan and Kurama went to sleep, as did the others when they entered.
Dumbledore and the other professors were getting worried. The cities that were disappearing had increased. Dumbledore was afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect his students this time.
"Dumbledore ," said McGonagall as she entered his office, "take a look at this." She pointed to the place where she wanted him to read. It read:
Today another muggle city vanishes leaving only ashes. A witness who miraculously escaped death, said this, "I sum how I escaped the person's destruction. He didn't notice me. He was floating above the city, smiling. Before he gone off, I heard him say aloud , 'I'm coming for you Gohan, you'd better be prepared or you'll be joining your father. One more month is all I'm giving you. Be prepared or else.' And then he flew off." "This is more serious than I thought. A student here is in danger." Said Dumbledore.
"Precisely, and when are you going to tell him?" asked McGonagall.
"Well, I'm not going to tell him, I'll ask Remus to ask him some questions on what Gohan knows since he is best with children. And if he does know something, he doesn't have to be told anything." Replied Dumbledore.
Gohan and his friends had DADA next. When they got in, Lupin was already there. "Good afternoon." He said and smiled.
"Ok class, today we're going give a chance to the people who haven't gone against a boggart to go against one." He said and looked in the direction of a box.
"Let me see, ok, this won't take long, only four people from Gryffindor haven't gone against one. Will those four people come up?" said Lupin
Kurama, Yuske, Kuwabara, and Gohan (what a coincident) went to the front of the room.
"Now, you four remember what to do now?" asked Lupin. The four nodded in return.
"Kazuma, you're up first." He said and realeased the boggart.
The boogart was in the shape of Yukina (Hiei's sister for those who dun know). She said "Kuwabara, I hate you!! You an ugly monster! I never want to see you again! Leave me alone, you big pervert!!!"
Yuske and Kurama just smiled at this. Kuwabara was in shock, he had never expected this. Then again, he never knew what he was afraid of.
"Oh my goodness, what the hell?!?!?" he said. "Oh well, good thing it's not real, RIDDIKULUS!" The boggart changed into Kuwabara and Yuske. The boggart- Yuske was lying on the floor, bloody and unconscious. While boggart- Kuwabara was smiling hold up two fingers that stood for 'victory'. "Hey, cool, I beat Urameshi!!" exclaimed Kuwabara happily. "In your face Urameshi!!!" Yuske was pissed off.
"Umm ok..Yuske you're next." Said Lupin who was curious to see what the boggart would change into.
Yuske approached the boggart. It transformed into a demon who was humongous (he was bigger than Hagrid). And in his hand, he was holding Kayko who was unconscious. Yuske looked at this and got even more pissed. "RIDDIKULUS" he shouted which echoed through the walls of the classroom. The boggart then turned into Kuwabara who was wearing a hot pink dress. Yuske was laughing his ass off. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT YOU KUWABARA!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" he shouted. "Knock it off." Yelled Kuwabara.
Lupin himself was laughing to himself as a few snickers could be heard form the rest of the class.
"Heh, ok Kurama you're next."
When the boggart saw Kurama, he had turned into Kuronaway. Kurama gasped.
"You traitor, traitor." it said, "You betrayed me and left me to die. This is all your fault!!!"
"No it isn't, it isn't." said Kurama , "RIDDIKULAS!"
The boggart turned into Genbu. The messed up Genbu who body was disfigured. Every one laughed at the fact that Geunbu's head was on it peanus.
Finally Lupin motioned for the class to be silent and said, "and lastly, Gohan you're next."
Gohan steeped up to the boggart. His tailed twitched a bit but no one noticed. The boggart formed the shape of the moon. Gohan stared straight at it. He started to feel pain, he knew he was about to transform if he didn't stop it.
He dropped to the floor and wrapped his hands around him. He gave it all to try and stop it. Goku had taught him to control his transformation. He had to put that knowledge to use now. Pain was flowing through him and then it slowly began to wash away.
"RIDDIKULUS!" shouted Lupin and the boggart disappeared leaving a cloud of smoke.
"Umm we only have a few minutes left, I'll dismiss you guys early." He said. Everyone except for Gohan scrambled out the door.
Gohan got up and gathered his stuff. "Gohan, you ok?" asked Lupin as he handed Gohan a piece of chocolate. Gohan ate it and said, "Yea sure, no problems here."
"So you want to tell me what just happened?" he asked. "It was nothing. The moon just reminded me of something horrible." Gohan lied. Then Lupin asked, "Is there anything you'd like to talk about?" Gohan thought about what he felt a few months ago but then decided not to. After all, he was a wizard, what would he know? "Umm, nope." And he ran out the door to join his classmates.
"So Remus, have you out anything about our young friend?" asked Dumbledore
He replied, "No sir, he said he didn't know anything but I reckon that he was lying. I don't think that he really wants to talk about, I mean, he is just a kid."
"Even so, it'd be best that he told us now then later. His life is on the line here. But no rush, I have a feeling we'll learn soon enough." Said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eye.
"I'm hoping he knows what's coming, it'd be a shame to lose such an excellent student."
"So do I Remus, so do I."

A/N The Z people are still on Namek (They're having the time of their life[except Vegeta] while the earth is being destroyed city by city.
And the only people who know that Gohan was the kid that killed Cell are Yuske, Kuawbara, and Kurama. ^^
