Hey people.about the last chapter I wrote.I totally forgot to mention that
Goku's owl, Emeric, wasn't really his but Master Roshi's
................................
The morning of the 1st of September dawned nearer and nearer. The rest of Goku's summer was uneventful but fun. Voldemort didn't show up again and Goku, Harry, Ron and Hermione spent the remainder of the summer lazing about the house doing whatever they felt like.
Rain was poring down on the windows of The Burrow when Goku was sharply woken up by Mrs. Weasley.
"Time to get up dear," she said and turned to the rest of the occupied beds one by one waking the sleeping persons.
Goku got dressed quietly in baggy jeans and a skin tight white shirt, finishing of the look with a tropical unbuttoned shirt.
He leaded the way down the stairs, Ron and Harry yawning and groaning behind him. They all stepped into the kitchen and found Mr. Weasley talking to a head the fire and Mrs. Weasley racing around the kitchen searching for a quill.
"Got one, Arthur!" she said suddenly, emerging from behind a cupboard and thrusting a broken quill and parchment in her husbands hands.
They ate breakfast quickly; Mr. Weasley had to leave in a hurry due to urgent Ministry business.
Mrs. Weasley went to the post office in the town they were close to and called for 3 ordinary muggle taxies. The taxies arrived and when everyone was ready and packed they helped the taxi drivers carry their trunks out to the cars. One of the drivers accidentally dropped Fred's trunk which sprang open and a lot of Dr Filibuster's Fabulous No-Heat, Wet-Start Fireworks went off.
They arrived at King's Cross Station with time to spare. They put their trunks on trolleys and pushed their way through the crowd until they arrived between platforms 9 and 10.
"Ok, the trick to getting onto platform nine and three quarters." Mrs. Weasley began. ".is to walk straight at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Best to do it at a bit of a run if you're nervous."
Goku stepped forward and looked at the solid looking barrier between platforms nine and three quarters. He began to walk casually up to the barrier; gaining speed with every step he took.he broke into a run, the barrier only a few feet away.not expecting to hit anything, he jumped up and sat on top of his trunk, feeling the wind in his hair.
He went through the barrier and the first thing he saw was a brilliant scarlet steam engine with big letters across the front reading 'Hogwarts Express'. He quickly jumped back off his trolley and stopped it just in time before it hit this old lady who was taking to a forgetfully looking boy.
After a moments pause, Goku turned to face the barrier he had just come through to try and locate the where about of the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione. He spotted them near the front of the train looking at the compartments, obviously trying to find an empty one.
Goku slowly made his way through the crowd of parents and peers until he reached his friends. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Goku set off by themselves to find a compartment and found one halfway down the train. They put their luggage in the luggage racks before turning around and walking back off the train to catch up with Mrs. Weasley.
"I might be seeing you sooner then you think," said Charlie, grinning, as he hugged Ginny goodbye.
"Why?" Goku said keenly.
"You'll see," Charlie said, with a broad grin on his face.
The whistle blew at that exact moment so before anyone could interrogate Charlie any further, Mrs. Weasley chivvied them towards the train doors.
"Thanks for letting us stay, Mrs. Weasley!" Hermione said over her shoulder as she boarded the train.
"Yeah, thanks for everything, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley, I'll see you again next summer hopefully," Goku called out the train window. "But next time you'll be a guest at my home hopefully!"
The pistons hissed loudly and the train began to move.
"What's going to happen at Hogwarts this year?" Fred and George kept yelling out of the train window at Mrs. Weasley, Charlie and Bill.
But all they did was continue to smile and wave and just before the train turned a corner they Disapparated.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Goku returned to their compartment. Ron was grumbling about not being told what was happening at Hogwarts when a familiar voice reached their ears.
"Shh!" Hermione snapped at Ron, listening hard to what the voice was saying.
".Father actually considered sending me to Durmstrang rather then Hogwarts, you know. He knows the Headmaster, you see. Well, you know his opinion of Dumbledore - the man's such a Mudblood-lover - and Durmstrang doesn't admit that sort of riff-raff. But mother didn't like the idea of me going to school so far away. Father says Durmstrang takes a far more sensible line than Hogwarts about the Dark Arts. Durmstrang students actually learn them, not just the defence rubbish we do."
Hermione tip toed up to the compartment door and closed it quietly, blocking the voice of Draco Malfoy out.
"So he'd rather be at Durmstrang, would he?" she said irritably, sitting back down.
"Durmstrang is another wizard school, isn't it?" Ron asked.
"Yep," Hermione replied.
"I used to go to Beauxbatons Academy," Goku said almost dreamily.
"Really, but then why haven't you got a French accent or anything like that?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Well, I guess I never picked up the accent after three years of going there. And I live in Japan, the closest wizard school was Beauxbatons," Goku replied, looking around the compartment.
"What was it like there?" Harry asked, rather interested in the wizard school.
Goku launched into a detailed description of Beauxbatons Academy. He told them about the castle, his friends and teachers. He also told Hermione about his lessons (Ron and Harry weren't interested in what Goku had learnt at his school). By the time he was finished the witch with the lunch trolley and come and gone and they were all now munching happily on pumpkin pastries while the train sped past scary looking forests and lakes. The sky outside was steadily going darker and clouds were beginning to form as the train sped towards its destination.
"We should be there soon," Hermione said, looking out the window at the dark trees.
Goku looked out the compartment window in a sort of day dream. He pictured Hogwarts. And before he knew it he had drifted into a wistful snooze.
"Goku." a voice said from far way. "Goku."
Someone was nudging Goku roughly.
"Wha'?" Goku said groggily.
"We'll be there in 5 minutes, you better get changed into your school robes," Hermione said still nudging him.
Goku felt wide awake and quickly opened his trunk then started rummaging around for his school robes.
"Got it!" He said at last emerging from behind his trunk with his black school robes.
"Great, I'll just wait outside while you get changed then," Hermione said as she slid the compartment door open and stepped out into the corridor.
Goku pulled off his shirt and jeans and dressed got dressed into his school robes just as the train pulled up into the station. He quickly shoved the muggle clothes into his trunk and closed it.
"You leave your trunk and owl here," Harry said as he slid the compartment door open and walked out, closely followed by Ron.
Goku followed him into the packed corridor and was slowly being shoved off the train.
Goku stepped out into the cool night air. The sky was covered in thick grey storm clouds and a definite hint of thunder.
"Firs'-years this way!" came a great bellowing voice from somewhere over the other side of the platform.
"Hey Hagrid!" Goku heard Harry, Ron and Hermione yell over to the giant of a man.
"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione," he said nodding to each of them as he said their names. "Who's your friend?"
"This is Goku," Ron said stepping aside so Hagrid could see Goku properly.
"Ah, yer the one I'm s'posed to take with me on the boat trip," Hagrid said, smiling behind his beard.
"Really, why Hagrid?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Dumbledore's orders," Hagrid said. "Think he wants you to go along with the first years to make it less of a hassle to explain why yer here. Oh well, best be getting a move on now, come on Goku."
Hagrid walked over to where a small group of scared looking 11yr-olds were standing and gestured for them all to follow him. Goku walked next to Hagrid every now and then Hagrid gave him a side glance.
Walking down what seemed like a steep, narrow path; Goku and Hagrid lead their way through the pitch black.
"Yeh'll get your firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his shoulder, making Goku's eardrums hurt.
Goku's mouth fell open as he laid eyes on a vast castle with many turrets and towers.
"No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting at the shore of a great black lake. "You should just join up with a boat that's got two people in it," Hagrid added to Goku, as he walked off towards the end boat.
Goku set off looking for a boat with only to people in it.
"Hi, I'm Goku Son," Goku said holding out his hand.
"Hi Goku, I'm Dennis Creevey," said the small boy as he took Goku's hand and shook it. "And this is Natalie McDonald."
Goku shook Natalie's hand and helped them both into the boat before climbing in himself.
"Everyone in?" Shouted Hagrid, who had his own boat, "Right then - FORWARD!"
The fleet of little boats took off, slowly making its way across the lake. It had started to rain as soon as Goku had stepped into the boat.
The wind was blowing harshly and Goku felt that their little boat was going to be upturned more then once.
And finally, it happened. One colossal gust of wind blew the little boat over. Goku grabbed Natalie quickly and tried to get Dennis, but he was to far away. Thinking he'd have to go swimming for him, Goku turned the boat over and placed Natalie back in it.
"Don't worry," He half shouted to her over the howling wind. "I'll find Dennis!"
He flew back into the air and just as he was about to dive into the lake, Dennis was shot out of the water by what looked like an enormous tentacle. Goku caught Dennis in mid air and landed back in the boat.
The little boats carried them through curtain ivy and along a dark tunnel. They reached a sort of underground harbour where they all clambered out onto the rocks and pebbles. They had reached the other side of the lake safely with no further dramas. Hagrid rushed up to where Goku, Dennis and Natalie where standing.
"Alrigh' there, Dennis?" Hagrid asked, looking concerned behind his wild, untamed beard.
"Y-y-e-e-s," Dennis said, shivering uncontrollably.
"Here ya go," Hagrid said, taking off his moleskin overcoat and dumping it on Dennis' back.
"Th-th-th-thank you Mr. Hagrid."
"Not a problem, and just call me Hagrid," he said, turning. "Follow me!"
After walking up a passageway carved in the rock, Hagrid, Goku and the first years emerged onto the grassy slopes outside the magnificent castle.
Hagrid walked up a flight of stone stairs and knocked three times on the huge, oak front doors. The first years and Goku crowded around as they waited, shivering uncontrollably as the wind blew and cold rain drops trickled down their necks.
The front doors opened and a stern looking woman with her hair in a tight bun greeted them.
"Evening Hagrid."
"Evenin' Professor McGonagall," Hagrid said. "Firs' years," He waved a hand in the first year's direction.
"Excellent, follow me."
She walked into the enormous Entrance Hall, gesturing them to follow her as she made her way across the room. Goku looked around the vast hall. Flaming torches lit up the stone walls and there was a splendid marble staircase facing them.
Professor McGonagall let the way into a chamber off the entrance to the Great Hall and told them to wait there while she went off somewhere.
Goku looked around at all the first year's faces. Most looked scared and fearful; others were looking curiously around at their surroundings.
McGonagall returned a short time later.
"Now, form a line," McGonagall told the first years. "And follow me."
She escorted them through the double doors into the Great Hall.
There was a sharp intake of breath from the first years and Goku, as they walked into the vast Great Hall. The new students gazed around the Hall with open mouths taking in every inch. There were four long house tables covered in glittering gold goblets and plates each sitting over a hundred students in black. The Staff Table was at the front of the Hall, sitting in the very middle in a gold high backed chair was none other then Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall led the first years and Goku to the very front of the Hall and positioned then in a line along the Staff Table. She then left and returned shortly after carrying a three legged stool and a very grubby hat.
After carefully placing the stool on the ground she sat the hat upon it and stood back, waiting.

(A/N ok.not as long as I would have hoped it to be but.given the situation of my not writing {yet again} until the holidays, has made me feel as though I should rush 2 get this one out. It's actually a pretty bad chapter in my opinion.nothing out of the ordinary really.REVIEW!)
