Thank you so much to all of my wonderful reviewers!!!!

I'm so happy! I feel loved ^_^ I promise I'll take heed to what everybody has to say, so if you have any ideas, complaints, praise you decide to want to shower me in (praise please), feel free!

Disclaimer: I don't have to disclaim anything! As long as I am anonymous on the internet, the lawyers can't find and sue me!! *breaks into fit of evil laughter and falls off chair in terror and shock as stampede of lawyers gallops up the street and hammers on the front door* *gulp* where can I hide? HELP ME!!!!!! *uses handy tennis racket to knock lawyers scaling the walls to the study/playroom window back into the shrubbery*

*glares at sullen characters at opposite side of the room* I've had this lot agree not to try and kill me, else I'd torture their characters even more.*leaves suspense for torture to be imagined by readers and wretched cast to save author having to use actual brain-power and typing effort*

Ok, I'll just go get the family sock-basket and chase the lawyers off.for now though, feel free to read on!! *darts off the computer and moments later screams of terror come from the front lawn as the bloodthirsty lawyers are bombarded with used socks*

**Chapter 2**

Ron could only stand utterly rooted to the spot in fear, shock and disbelief as the whirling red portal his broken wand had created began to glow an ugly blood-red. The rusty colour then was then replaced by a massive beam of scarlet light; blinding the room's astonished occupants as they tried to see just what monstrosity the accursed wand had brought in this time.

From where Harry was crouched behind one of the armchairs, peering tentatively towards the portal from over the back of the chair, he could see an assortment of shapes appearing. Some of these shapes seemed exceptionally tall for a witch or wizard, but they were definitely humanoid at least.although some of them did have rather impressive amounts of spiky hair. Finally the light cleared as the portal gave a sigh and shuddered to a halt; eventually fading from view.

The whole room froze. Harry glanced warily at the visitors.whether they were humanoid or not, they definitely were NOT normal. There seemed to be two little kids; one with the seemingly characteristic spiky black hair, and another with.purple hair?! There was then a slightly taller one, with hair which was making up for his lack in height and a livid scowl which rivalled that of the dear Potions teacher. Standing towards the back of the group were two more taller ones with spiky hair and then a green vaguely-humanoid creature.

'Wherever these people are from', thought Harry, 'they must have a lot of problems with people sticking forks in electrical sockets'.

Gohan was in a similar state of shock; they had been warped from the nice, familiar living room of Capsule Corp. into a cramped, stuffy room which was already inhabited by five human adolescents who were staring at them in varying states of terror and/or astonishment. Even the chibis were silent; staring in surprise at the seemingly petrified group of strangely dressed teens. Piccolo showed very little in the way of emotion; since he'd been Kami of Earth himself at one stage, he knew fine that there were other, parallel versions of Earth and not just the one he happened to reside in. Dende was Piccolo's instant suspicion; there couldn't be another way to transport half the Z team into another dimension.

Gohan was thinking something similar along those lines, except it was mostly to do with exactly how brutally he would kill a certain seriously- endangered young Namekian.

At last, the uncomfortable silence was broken by a weak chuckle by Goku. As every eye turned to fix itself on the slightly twitching Saiyan, Goku proceeded to grin and reach his hand behind his head to scratch his back in the classic Confused Son stance. "ummm.I think we might have gotten lost somewhere" said Goku sheepishly.

The tension seemed to snap as Vegeta gave an exasperated growl and had to be blocked by Gohan before he could knock a little sense into Kakarrot's thick skull. Harry, Fred and George all cautiously emerged from their hiding places and moved to stand alongside Ron and Hermione.

Unable to remain silent any longer, Hermione spun around, eyeing Ron with a mixture of fury and admiration. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE?!" she screeched excitedly. Ron cowered slightly from the explosion and snapped back, "of course I know what I've just done! That bloody wand of mine has warped these.these.people into our common room, during the holidays, late at night, after we've been told millions of times NOT to use magic out of school times, and now I'm going to be expelled and or arrested!!!"

Hermione nodded impatiently, "yes, you've done all that, but do you have any idea just how hard that level of magic is? I don't think even Dumbledore could transport people from another dimension with a fixed wand, let alone a broken one! It takes a huge amount of magical power."

Harry, Fred and George all slowly turned to stare at Ron, who was slowly turning a ghostly white out of shock. It was probably just as well that Vegeta decided to cut in at that point, or it was very likely that Ron would have fainted on the spot.

"Alright brat, where am I?" demanded Vegeta, striding forward and glaring at Ron, who by now there was no doubt to the Z team knew was the one who had brought them there. Ron's eyes slowly came back into focus and he mumbled, "what have I done?"

Harry and Hermione moved forward, grabbing one of Ron's arms each, steading his balance. Vegeta however, was not impressed at being ignored. Raising his left hand palm-upwards, he conjured up a small ball of blue ki, "I'm warning you brat, I demand to be told where I am or I'll blast you into another dimension!"

Goku stepped forward to extinguish Vegeta's ki, but stopped to watch the robed teens as they each drew out a long thin piece of wood each. Gohan moved forward into better light, "what are those things?" Harry met Gohan's eyes, "they're wands; we can use them to cast magic, so I suggest you tell your friend to stop threaten us"

Fred, George, Harry, Ron and Hermione all stared in surprise at the effect Harry's words had on the "visitors". "Magic? You mean like wizards?" called Goten anxiously. Hermione nodded, as Goten and Trunks steeled themselves, slipping into practised martial arts attack frames. "What are you doing?" spoke up George curiously as Vegeta extinguished the ball of ki, staring at them in an expression of utter hate while Goku, Gohan and Piccolo all slipped into similar fighting stances. Gohan frowned, "we haven't had many good experiences with wizards in the past, so I recommend that you don't use magic in case we act the same way we did last time we met a wizard."

"What do you have against wizards?" asked Hermione, lowering her wand as the others mimicked her; never taking their eyes off the suddenly hostile visitors. Slowly the Z team relaxed a little, the wary look in their eyes still present. "The last wizard we met revived a virtually indestructible monster who butchered more than half of Earth's population. He partially enslaved Vegeta, killed Kibito and then attempted to kill the Supreme Kai. We thought that my son Gohan here had been killed as well, but thankfully the Supreme Kai had saved him," Goku summarized.

Harry blinked, he hadn't understood some of the story, but he got the general gist that these people had had some serious problems with magic in the past. "Don't worry", said Hermione carefully, "we certainly don't do anything like that here". "Where exactly is here?" asked Piccolo quietly. "This is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ron here tried to turn his jumper a different colour, but seems to have accidentally opened a portal between worlds", Hermione explained as best she could.

Gohan smacked his hand off his forehead, you are sooo dead Dende.

"So," said Goku pleasantly, "how do we get home again? Only I'm on a bit of a limited timeframe see, as I only got a week off for Christmas and New Year". "A week off from what?" asked George curiously. "Being dead", stated Goku easily, as if it were the simplest thing in the world. Blinking in confusion, the four junior wizards and witch slowly inclined their heads upwards to where Goku was signalling above his mass of spiky hair. There, perched at a jaunty angle with a small piece of festive Christmas holly, was an unmistakeable halo.

"Good grief", murmured Ron in a voice only Harry and Hermione could hear, "what have I done this time?!"
Just a short, rather boring chapter I'm afraid, the next will be more interesting; I just wanted to lay the foundations clearly.I HATE it when fics don't explain themselves so they make some sort of slight sense!

Next chapter - The Z team are introduced to Dumbledore, who makes them temporary "students" while he works on a spell to send them home. Goten and Trunks team up with Fred and George.what horrors will the terrible two and Hogwart's best pranksters (of the time at least) release? Will Goku ever be dragged out of the kitchens, and who will win the evilness award? Snape or Vegeta????

Stay tuned (not literally) and I'll find some way to upload my next chapter!!!! *hears another battering ram crash into the front door O.O;* the lawyers are back! AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! *runs screaming into relative safety of underneath the computer desk*
