Ian- thanks. I plan on putting in romance between Gohan and a couple girls
in random places. I'm pretty sure that I'll have one of those people be
saiya-jin.
TheShadowPanther- he IS fifteen. I just felt like putting him in the same year as Fred and George. Third year because this way, I can throw him into some classes with Harry and Ron that he should have taken in his first year that they feel is necessary, like flying lessons (not that he actually needs them)
Dark Wolf on a full blood moon- I'll try not to make it too long, but I had to find somewhere to put him that would actually have him staying there for a couple years, without him doing a couple things and me saying 'four years later' or something of the like. If he goes to YYH, then he'll befriend Hiei. You obviously didn't read the author's note at the end of chapter 2 because I listed the animes, books, cartoons, and movies that I knew best. (I'll retype it at the bottom because I'm feeling nice.)
Cheri Cheri- Days of our Lives? I don't know a thing about it.
SwomeSwan- I'm not giving up on this anytime soon.
Kaye- I know that but Gohan was too tired to argue about being a warrior so he wasn't really paying attention when they called him a martial artist; although in some ways, he IS a martial artist.
Riye Link/ Reue- You actually think Gohan would, in his right mind, want to stay at the brotherhood where they don't have food? What's up with that?
Luna's Meow- Nope. Never heard of any of those (except Chronicles of Narnia, obviously). I'm not much of a book person.
Rogue1615- He's perfectly able to; he just won't care enough to try.
Disturbed One- There's a good idea.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and DBZ belong to some English person and some Japanese person, respectively. I'm American so I can't be either of the owners.

Chapter 3
Gohan was standing next to Harry and Ron while ascending the stairs. Gohan looked at the witch in the green hat and cloak waiting for them. He could easily tell that she was one of the teachers here. A quick probing of her mind confirmed his beliefs.
"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," Hagrid stated. The professor nodded her head at Hagrid and he left back to the Great Hall.
"Welcome to Hogwarts," Professor McGonagall greeted. "You shall be led into the Great Hall for the start-of-term banquet. Before that happens, though, you must be sorted into your houses. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. While at Hogwarts, your house will be like your family. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory, and spend free time in the house common room. Your triumphs at Hogwarts will earn you points; any rule breaking will lose your house points. The house with the most points at the end of the year is awarded the house cup. The sorting ceremony will begin in a few minutes. I'll return when we're ready for you." With that said, Professor McGonagall turned around and left the room.
All the students started talking to each other about how they were to be sorted. Many were worrying that they would have to perform magic, since they hadn't bothered to start studying yet. The only person not worrying was a girl with bushy brown hair, since she had been practicing magic frequently.
"Oh, I really hope we don't have to do magic," Ron complained. "I didn't even bother to look in any of my books yet."
"Me either," Harry agreed. "Any other ideas of what the test could be?"
"Not sure really. Fred said that whatever it was, it hurts a lot."
"You should know better than to believe that. After all, Fred and George like toying with you like that." Gohan was the only other sane person in the room since George had already "told" him what the test was.
"Well, well. What do you know, what they were saying on the train is true, then," a blonde hair boy said. This caused everyone in the hallway to be quiet. "Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts." The whispers broke out about Harry right away. All the kids were looking at him to make sure he was telling the truth. The boy looked at Ron with disgust.
"You're hanging out with a Weasley?" he asked as though it was a crime.
"Yes he's my friend," Harry stated.
"You really should pick out better friends, Potter. I can help you there, my name is Draco Malfoy." Draco extended his hand to Harry as an offer.
"No thanks," Harry replied. "I can choose my friends for myself, thank you very much."
"Whatever, with friends like Weasley and..." Draco paused as he looked at Gohan. He was about to make some wise crack comment, when he caught a glance of Gohan's glare and turquoise eyes promising serious injury if insulted. "You better watch yourself, Potter. You'll find out that not all wizarding families are as good as others."
Draco, much to Harry and Ron's relief, left them back to two other kids. A moment after leaving, Professor McGonagall returned.
"We're ready for you."
Professor McGonagall led the students through the doors and into the Great Hall.
It was definitely a sight to see. Four long tables ran across the room, perpendicular to the doors and parallel to each other, filled with golden plates and goblets as well as the other students sitting down, waiting semi-patiently. At the opposite end of the room, was another table, perpendicular to the rest, where the teachers and other adults were sitting. There were thousands of candles that were floating in midair.
Looking at the ceiling, all anyone saw was a starry night sky. Gohan, with his advanced saiyan vision, could make out the brown on the roof.
They were lead to the end of the student tables at waited at the bottom of a row of three stairs. At the top of the stairs, was a pointed wizard's hat on a four-legged stool. Gohan felt somewhat out of place here, since he was at least seven inches taller than the tallest first year and his golden hair stuck out amongst the black hats and robes.
"When I call your name, come forth and I will place the sorting hat on your head. The hat will decide which of the houses to place you in," McGonagall explained.
McGonagall pulled out a list of names and began calling the students forth to be sorted. After the hat was put on someone's head, it would wait a couple minutes then announce which house they were to join. Gohan saw as Malfoy got sorted into Slytherin, which was no surprise to him. After one's house was announced, one of the four tables would applaud and the student would go to that table.
"Harry Potter," McGonagall called. All noise in the Great Hall stopped as whispers once again broke out about Harry's arrival at Hogwarts. It took Harry the longest time of anyone so far to be sorted, but the sorting hat eventually made up his mind.
"GRYFFINDOR!" it bellowed. The Gryffindors immediately started cheering the loudest of any cheer yet. Harry walked shakily towards the table and sat down near the Weasley twins.
Gohan heard Ron sighing in relief, as Ron was positive that he would make Gryffindor like the rest of his older brothers, that he had a friend in his house. After waiting several more minutes, McGonagall announced his name.
"Gohan Son."
Gohan walked forward and heard some whispers of people wondering why he was so tall for a first year. He ignored them and sat down at the stool. He felt the hat put on his head and wondered what would happen next.
'What have we got here?' the hat said. If it had eyes, the sorting hat would have been blinking in confusion. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't get into Gohan's head to search where to put him. Figuring that this was obviously a sign of what to do with him, the sorting hat made its decision.
"SLYTHERIN!" it bellowed to the hall. Harry and the Weasleys paled having expecting him to easily join them in Gryffindor. Gohan walked to the Slytherin table, arms crossed and a neutral expression on his face, after giving a reassuring glance to the Weasley twins that he wouldn't tell any of the secrets of the castle to the slytherins. Gohan took a seat next to Draco.
Ron got his wish as he was sorted into Gryffindor soon after Gohan. The last few students were sorted into their houses.
When the sorting was done, the sorting hat and stool were taken away until used again next year. A tall man with a long flowing silver hair, beard, and moustache wearing half-moon glasses stood up.
"I would like to welcome all returning wizards back to Hogwarts, and all first timers here a welcoming and hope that you enjoy your time. Enjoy the banquet..."
Anything the guy was about to say was lost on Gohan as he remembered how hungry he really was. The scents of all different kinds of food assaulted Gohan's nose, almost making him start drooling. He paused for a moment to think about whether to hide his habits.
'Hmm... I don't want to be seen as too weird, but I'm really hungry. What should I do? Wait a minute...since when did I care what others thought of me? Screw this, it's food!' Gohan thought before digging into the food in true saiya-jin fashion.
Almost everyone else stopped eating to look at Gohan, who was inhaling the food almost as fast as it was appearing on the plates, with the exception of those who were too hungry to care. Gohan wasn't even seeing what he was eating, or tasting it; only the knowledge that his immense hunger was slowly being quenched.
"You can slow down, you know," Draco joked. "It's not like the food's going to disappear in two seconds. Gohan paused long enough to give him a short glare before returning to his food.
"Aren't you full yet?" some other slytherin asked.
"No," Gohan replied.
"Maybe you should stop eating for awhile."
"Yeah, that's true. I want to save room for dessert." Everyone fell over and groaned.
After a good meal, Gohan easily out eating everyone else in the Great Hall combined, the same guy, who Gohan learned was Albus Dumbledore, stood up to make some announcements.
"I have a few start-of-term announcements to make. First years should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils; some of our older students would do well to remember that." Gohan, even though he wasn't really watching, could tell that Dumbledore had focused his attention on Fred and George when he said that. Gohan looked at one of the teachers curiously; he was picking up two energy signals and two distinctly different scents coming from the teacher wearing a purple turban on his head.
"Our caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to remind all students that you are not to do magic between classes in the corridors. Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of the term. If you are interested in playing for your house, then please contact Madam Hooch. Finally, the third- floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to anyone who does not wish to die a painful death." Gohan snickered at the thought of there being something stronger than him at this school, earning him odd looks from several other students.
"And now, prefects, if you would please lead the students to the common rooms so that everyone can go to bed." Gohan, along with the rest of the Slytherins, stood up and looked for the prefect, or rather, the badge with the 'P' that he had seen Percy showing off frequently at the Burrow. He eventually found him, a student with dark brown hair and green eyes.
The prefect began leading the students through several of the hallways. Gohan watched as the pictures greeted the students, but kept his neutral expression on. They eventually came upon a picture with a fierce looking man in a black cloak with dark brown eyes.
"Halt intruders! State the password!" it shouted.
"Culebra," the prefect stated. The portrait swung open and all the slytherins walked through.
The room beyond was fairly decent; it had a black couch in the middle, several dark green or black armchairs near a fireplace, and two sets of stairs.
"This is the Slytherin common room. The boys' rooms are up the stairs on the right and the girls' are on the left. Each level is for the different years. Who is the student that is being put in his or her third year?"
Gohan walked forward and nodded his head to show that he was the third year student, to nobody's surprise.
"Yes, you are to go to the third level while everyone else goes to the first. You'll find that all of your stuff is already in there, except for yours," the prefect stated, pointing at Gohan.
"Don't worry, I have my stuff with me." Seeing that nobody believed him, he made up an excuse that sounded good. "I learned a shrinking spell and shrank my trunk into my pocket. I guess I just forgot to take it out." He saw that the others seemed to believe him, or weren't going to question it.
Gohan headed to the stairs and quickly ascended them to the room on the third floor. Looking behind him, he saw the other third years and above following him. He opened the door and walked in. Quickly finding the bed without a trunk at its foot, Gohan decapsulized his trunk. Gohan pulled off his robe, leaving him in his gi, then got into bed and under the covers so the others would think he was going to sleep.
"So, you're the new kid, huh? This ought to be interesting. I'm Chris," a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes said.
"What are you doing, Chris? Oh...the newbie," a boy with brown hair and eyes proclaimed, with obvious distaste in Gohan's arrival.
"Oh shut up, T. J.!" Chris yelled at the boy.
"So, are you muggle born?" a kid with black hair and blue eyes asked.
"Muggle born?" Gohan asked as though insulted, then snorted. "Of course not."
It was only partially a lie. Gohan considered his ki and mental powers to be magical and, since he inherited his powers through his father's genes, he wasn't born to muggles, although he believed that they were referring to both parents, and his mom was definitely a muggle.
"You should know that no muggle borns EVER make it into Slytherin. We all know that Salazar thought that only pureblooded wizards were good enough for his house, Joseph," Chris stated. "Oh, and the brown haired, green eyed guy over there is Matt."
"Okay, Chris, he knows all of us. Now let's get to sleep," Joseph stated, before turning off the lights.
Gohan, instead of falling asleep, went into his meditative position, with his legs crossed and fingers interlocked with elbows resting on his knees. He floated a couple inches off of his bed and meditated. He had found that if he meditated, then he didn't need to fall asleep. So, he hadn't really gone to sleep since he was eleven. This way, he could still train without destroying anything nearby.
Gohan had recently been trying to learn how to meditate while lying down, to better give the illusion that he was sleeping, but found that it was harder to meditate lying down than sitting down. He took his hands apart and rested them against his sides, still meditating. Gohan then unfolded his legs and stretched them out to their full lengths, leaning against the wood at the head of the bed. As he was about to lie down, he realized that he had, once again, fallen out of his meditative state.
Looking at the clock, Gohan saw that it was now three in the morning. Figuring this would be a good time; Gohan got out of bed and went to the window. He opened it, flew out, then closed it and went into the forbidden forest for some "normal" training. He pulled out a capsule and opened it. A gravity room appeared in a cloud of yellow smoke with a bang.
Gohan walked into the room and set the gravity to six hundred and thirty eight. He powered out of super saiyan, regaining his black hair and eyes and, with the additional seven-ton weights on his undershirt, wristbands, and boots, began to work out. He started with some of the basic moves before using multiform to create a second person to battle against.
The two Gohans went at it fiercely until the sun started to come up at around six forty. The Gohans merged back into one being, which powered out of super saiyan two back to regular super saiyan. He then pulled out his bag of infinite senzu beans and ate one, recovering all his lost strength and healing all of his injuries.
He left and capsulized the gravity room before heading to the Great Hall for breakfast. He was told that the owls today would be bringing the students their schedules. Gohan hoped his schedule didn't involve much switching between the first year and third year classes.
Gohan was one of the first students up and in the Great Hall for breakfast. He was thankful that he didn't have to wait for the other students to eat since he was starving [1]. Gohan sat down and started to dig into the mountains of food on the table.
By the time Gohan had finished eating, most of the other kids had woken up and were eating their breakfasts. He heard a hoot and looked to see his black and dark green owl, Piccolo, flying in and land on the table next to him. Gohan took the letter off of his leg and gave him some food.
It was indeed his schedule and saw that the only classes he would have with the first years were transfiguration with Hufflepuff, though he would still be in the third year transfiguration class, and flying lessons when they were available in October. Everything else they seemed to think he could bypass without the previous years knowledge. Looking at his schedule, he saw that he started off with Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw; now there was a class he was looking forward too, just like everyone else.
Gohan left for the classroom with high hopes for learning something cool, but got severely disappointed when the teacher, Professor Quirrell, stuttered frequently and talked about his defeat of a vampire. Speaking of vampires, he had garlic all around the room and other kids swore that that was the foul odor coming from his turban, but Gohan knew that that wasn't the case; the second smell was, somewhat like a human's.
His next class was potions, taught by the head of Slytherin house, Professor Snape. Gohan was glad that he had the class with Gryffindor so that he could talk to Fred and George and plot pranks to pull.
Gohan found quickly that Snape liked taking points from Gryffindor for no real reason. He was glad that now he wouldn't be losing house points for doing things like trying to 'make himself look better' by not telling someone else what not to do to their potion.
After that, he had lunch, followed by both of his transfiguration classes. One was with Hufflepuff, the other with Ravenclaw. He was glad that he had the first years class first so he wouldn't look as bad during third year transfiguration.
He learned that Professor McGonagall was a very strict teacher. She didn't take kindly to anyone goofing off and told them that if anyone did, they would have to leave the classroom. She demonstrated what they would be learning by transforming her desk into a pig and back again. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be doing anything that complex for a while. All they got to do was change matches into pins, which Gohan did fairly easily.
In the third year class, McGonagall was teaching them about animagi, people who could turn into animals. He wondered why everyone else was so down and learned that they had had their first divination lesson, and that the professor predicted one of their deaths, though McGonagall assured them that no one had died yet and it was just a greeting.
The next day, he had history of magic first and that had to be the most boring class ever thought of. The teacher, Professor Binns, was a ghost who just kept talking and talking in a boring monotone voice the whole time and they were supposed to take notes.
He finally had his divination lesson, where Professor Trelawney predicted the death of T.J., much to Gohan's amusement. He didn't quite understand how she was able to see anything; it worked nothing like Baba's magic ball where he could actually see what she saw.
After lunch, he had herbology and then care of magical creatures. In herbology, Professor Sprout taught them briefly about certain magical plants while the care of magical creatures teacher showed them what they would be studying throughout the year.
Late that night, he had astronomy with all of the other houses. He stayed near Ron and Harry to talk while doing the homework. The schedule then repeated itself.
Overall, Gohan found that most of his classes were very easy. He would probably only have troubles in divination, since he wasn't "a seer", then again, no one could really see anything in those things.
It was finally October and Gohan was sort of excited; they were going to have flying lessons. Of course, he could already fly, but he wanted to find out if flying on a broom is any better. He ate breakfast, then joined Harry and Ron out to their first flying lesson.
*************************************************
[1] Yes I know that senzu beans are supposed to fill you up so you won't be hungry for a while (I think it was ten days) but I'm just pretending that it doesn't since people would be somewhat freaked out if he pigged out one meal, then didn't eat at all ever again.
I put Gohan in Slytherin; don't think that was too much of a surprise. This will be amusing, with Gohan being friends with Draco while at the same time, being friends with his 'enemies' Harry and Ron. That ought to make for some good scenes in the future.
I skipped out on the sorting hat and school songs because I didn't feel like typing them in here. Culebra is a Spanish word for snake; I really wasn't feeling original for the password.
I didn't put in the actual fight between the Gohans because, in my personal opinion, training is the most boring thing to type about so I won't be getting into any serious detail about any of his training sessions.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* For those of you who were too lazy to read the note last chapter, these are the shows that I watch enough to be able to write some scenes about if you want me to send Gohan to; otherwise, you'll have to give me a summary and stuff (note- I added some since last chapter):
Codename: Kids Next Door, Courage: The Cowardly Dog, Digimon (first two seasons), Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Fairly Oddparents, Family Guy, Futurama, Inuyasha, Pokémon (until Johto), Simpsons, South Park, Spongebob Squarepants, Static Shock, Teen Titans, Transformers Armada, Witch Hunter Robin (spellings of names would be nice), X-men Evolution, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!
Those aren't the only ones I watch, just the ones I know enough about to write. I don't leave the computer much to watch TV, I spend most of my days playing video games or reading fanfiction.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
TheShadowPanther- he IS fifteen. I just felt like putting him in the same year as Fred and George. Third year because this way, I can throw him into some classes with Harry and Ron that he should have taken in his first year that they feel is necessary, like flying lessons (not that he actually needs them)
Dark Wolf on a full blood moon- I'll try not to make it too long, but I had to find somewhere to put him that would actually have him staying there for a couple years, without him doing a couple things and me saying 'four years later' or something of the like. If he goes to YYH, then he'll befriend Hiei. You obviously didn't read the author's note at the end of chapter 2 because I listed the animes, books, cartoons, and movies that I knew best.

"This is the Slytherin common room. The boys' rooms are up the stairs on the right and the girls' are on the left. Each level is for the different years. Who is the student that is being put in his or her third year?"
Gohan walked forward and nodded his head to show that he was the third year student, to nobody's surprise.
"Yes, you are to go to the third level while everyone else goes to the first. You'll find that all of your stuff is already in there, except for yours," the prefect stated, pointing at Gohan.
"Don't worry, I have my stuff with me." Seeing that nobody believed him, he made up an excuse that sounded good. "I learned a shrinking spell and shrank my trunk into my pocket. I guess I just forgot to take it out." He saw that the others seemed to believe him, or weren't going to question it.
Gohan headed to the stairs and quickly ascended them to the room on the third floor. Looking behind him, he saw the other third years and above following him. He opened the door and walked in. Quickly finding the bed without a trunk at its foot, Gohan decapsulized his trunk. Gohan pulled off his robe, leaving him in his gi, then got into bed and under the covers so the others would think he was going to sleep.
"So, you're the new kid, huh? This ought to be interesting. I'm Chris," a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes said.
"What are you doing, Chris? Oh...the newbie," a boy with brown hair and eyes proclaimed, with obvious distaste in Gohan's arrival.
"Oh shut up, T. J.!" Chris yelled at the boy.
"So, are you muggle born?" a kid with black hair and blue eyes asked.
"Muggle born?" Gohan asked as though insulted, then snorted. "Of course not."
It was only partially a lie. Gohan considered his ki and mental powers to be magical and, since he inherited his powers through his father's genes, he wasn't born to muggles, although he believed that they were referring to both parents, and his mom was definitely a muggle.
"You should know that no muggle borns EVER make it into Slytherin. We all know that Salazar thought that only pureblooded wizards were good enough for his house, Joseph," Chris stated. "Oh, and the brown haired, green eyed guy over there is Matt."
"Okay, Chris, he knows all of us. Now let's get to sleep," Joseph stated, before turning off the lights.
Gohan, instead of falling asleep, went into his meditative position, with his legs crossed and fingers interlocked with elbows resting on his knees. He floated a couple inches off of his bed and meditated. He had found that if he meditated, then he didn't need to fall asleep. So, he hadn't really gone to sleep since he was eleven. This way, he could still train without destroying anything nearby.
Gohan had recently been trying to learn how to meditate while lying down, to better give the illusion that he was sleeping, but found that it was harder to meditate lying down than sitting down. He took his hands apart and rested them against his sides, still meditating. Gohan then unfolded his legs and stretched them out to their full lengths, leaning against the wood at the head of the bed. As he was about to lie down, he realized that he had, once again, fallen out of his meditative state.
Looking at the clock, Gohan saw that it was now three in the morning. Figuring this would be a good time; Gohan got out of bed and went to the window. He opened it, flew out, then closed it and went into the forbidden forest for some "normal" training. He pulled out a capsule and opened it. A gravity room appeared in a cloud of yellow smoke with a bang.
Gohan walked into the room and set the gravity to six hundred and thirty eight. He powered out of super saiyan, regaining his black hair and eyes and, with the additional seven-ton weights on his undershirt, wristbands, and boots, began to work out. He started with some of the basic moves before using multiform to create a second person to battle against.
The two Gohans went at it fiercely until the sun started to come up at around six forty. The Gohans merged back into one being, which powered out of super saiyan two back to regular super saiyan. He then pulled out his bag of infinite senzu beans and ate one, recovering all his lost strength and healing all of his injuries.
He left and capsulized the gravity room before heading to the Great Hall for breakfast. He was told that the owls today would be bringing the students their schedules. Gohan hoped his schedule didn't involve much switching between the first year and third year classes.
Gohan was one of the first students up and in the Great Hall for breakfast. He was thankful that he didn't have to wait for the other students to eat since he was starving [1]. Gohan sat down and started to dig into the mountains of food on the table.
By the time Gohan had finished eating, most of the other kids had woken up and were eating their breakfasts. He heard a hoot and looked to see his black and dark green owl, Piccolo, flying in and land on the table next to him. Gohan took the letter off of his leg and gave him some food.
It was indeed his schedule and saw that the only classes he would have with the first years were transfiguration with Hufflepuff, though he would still be in the third year transfiguration class, and flying lessons when they were available in October. Everything else they seemed to think he could bypass without the previous years knowledge. Looking at his schedule, he saw that he started off with Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaw; now there was a class he was looking forward too, just like everyone else.
Gohan left for the classroom with high hopes for learning something cool, but got severely disappointed when the teacher, Professor Quirrell, stuttered frequently and talked about his defeat of a vampire. Speaking of vampires, he had garlic all around the room and other kids swore that that was the foul odor coming from his turban, but Gohan knew that that wasn't the case; the second smell was, somewhat like a human's.
His next class was potions, taught by the head of Slytherin house, Professor Snape. Gohan was glad that he had the class with Gryffindor so that he could talk to Fred and George and plot pranks to pull.
Gohan found quickly that Snape liked taking points from Gryffindor for no real reason. He was glad that now he wouldn't be losing house points for doing things like trying to 'make himself look better' by not telling someone else what not to do to their potion.
After that, he had lunch, followed by both of his transfiguration classes. One was with Hufflepuff, the other with Ravenclaw. He was glad that he had the first years class first so he wouldn't look as bad during third year transfiguration.
He learned that Professor McGonagall was a very strict teacher. She didn't take kindly to anyone goofing off and told them that if anyone did, they would have to leave the classroom. She demonstrated what they would be learning by transforming her desk into a pig and back again. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be doing anything that complex for a while. All they got to do was change matches into pins, which Gohan did fairly easily.
In the third year class, McGonagall was teaching them about animagi, people who could turn into animals. He wondered why everyone else was so down and learned that they had had their first divination lesson, and that the professor predicted one of their deaths, though McGonagall assured them that no one had died yet and it was just a greeting.
The next day, he had history of magic first and that had to be the most boring class ever thought of. The teacher, Professor Binns, was a ghost who just kept talking and talking in a boring monotone voice the whole time and they were supposed to take notes.
He finally had his divination lesson, where Professor Trelawney predicted the death of T.J., much to Gohan's amusement. He didn't quite understand how she was able to see anything; it worked nothing like Baba's magic ball where he could actually see what she saw.
After lunch, he had herbology and then care of magical creatures. In herbology, Professor Sprout taught them briefly about certain magical plants while the care of magical creatures teacher showed them what they would be studying throughout the year.
Late that night, he had astronomy with all of the other houses. He stayed near Ron and Harry to talk while doing the homework. The schedule then repeated itself.
Overall, Gohan found that most of his classes were very easy. He would probably only have troubles in divination, since he wasn't "a seer", then again, no one could really see anything in those things.
It was finally October and Gohan was sort of excited; they were going to have flying lessons. Of course, he could already fly, but he wanted to find out if flying on a broom is any better. He ate breakfast, then joined Harry and Ron out to their first flying lesson.
*************************************************
[1] Yes I know that senzu beans are supposed to fill you up so you won't be hungry for a while (I think it was ten days) but I'm just pretending that it doesn't since people would be somewhat freaked out if he pigged out one meal, then didn't eat at all ever again.
I put Gohan in Slytherin; don't think that was too much of a surprise. This will be amusing, with Gohan being friends with Draco while at the same time, being friends with his 'enemies' Harry and Ron. That ought to make for some good scenes in the future.
I skipped out on the sorting hat and school songs because I didn't feel like typing them in here. Culebra is a Spanish word for snake; I really wasn't feeling original for the password.
I didn't put in the actual fight between the Gohans because, in my personal opinion, training is the most boring thing to type about so I won't be getting into any serious detail about any of his training sessions.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* For those of you who were too lazy to read the note last chapter, these are the shows that I watch enough to be able to write some scenes about if you want me to send Gohan to; otherwise, you'll have to give me a summary and stuff (note- I added some since last chapter):
Codename: Kids Next Door, Courage: The Cowardly Dog, Digimon (first two seasons), Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Fairly Oddparents, Family Guy, Futurama, Inuyasha, Pokémon (until Johto), Simpsons, South Park, Spongebob Squarepants, Static Shock, Teen Titans, Transformers Armada, Witch Hunter Robin (spellings of names would be nice), X-men Evolution, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!
Those aren't the only ones I watch, just the ones I know enough about to write. I don't leave the computer much to watch TV, I spend most of my days playing video games or reading fanfiction.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
