Can they make a difference?
Chapter 2: First Impressions
Pairings: Goku/Vegeta
Disclaimer: I don't own them so don't ask
WARNING: This is about male/males relationships if you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.
Notes: I would like to say thank you for the fabulous reviews! And yes, everyone is correct about Vegeta ^_~ Also, I'm keeping it at a R rating because I may decide to throw in a lemon or something.
Another question came up: Will they be sorted? No, because Goku would go to Gryffindor and Vegeta would go to Slyerthin and in Vegeta's current state he would tear the common room apart and whoever came around him, and let's not forget that Goku wouldn't let Geta out of his sight.
~Kewla: Yes, that was his tail and you will get to see a little bit of it soon, so watch for it ^_~ and You're welcome! I'm just thrilled that I was able to get something off since I've been having writer's block with my other fics.
~V: I wished that you had told what you're thinking ^_~ Read on to see if you're right!
I would like to say hello to Christine G. long time no hear from ^_~ I'm glad that you're back!
I'm very pleased that everyone is cool with the pairings ^_~ Now enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!
~oOo@oOo~
The following morning proved to be too much for the Dursleys. The kitchen was in shambles. Pertunia stood in the middle of her kitchen with a look of horror. The entire contents of the refrigerator were gone. Vernon came in expecting his usual morning cup of coffee but that thought was gone when he noticed that breakfast wasn't prepared. Vernon marched upstairs to Harry's room and yanked him out of the bed.
It was 6:30 in the morning. Normally, Vegeta and Goku would have been up an hour before the sun rose but ever since they had found out about Vegeta's condition they had needed to take it easy.
The prince's eyes snapped opened when he heard the thumping next door. He growled low in his throat when the yelling moved downstairs. He was going to put a stop to that fat overgrown tub of lard. Vegeta eased out of bed carefully, so as not to wake his mate. He then slipped on his blue spandex suit and went to the source of all the commotion.
"Don't lie to me boy. There's no bloody way that those freaky friends of yours could have possibly eaten every single piece of food"
"It's the truth!" Harry yelled as he tried to break Vernon's hold.
"Rubbish!"
"Let the boy go."
Vernon stopped shaking Harry and let him go. "This is none of your business"
"I make it my business when a two ton whale and a skinny beanpole is ganging up on one defenseless boy" Vegeta said from the door. Before he could handle damage control another voice sounded in the kitchen.
"Vegeta no ouji remember what Bulma said. You can't get yourself worked-up for no apparent reason"
"Hn. Very well Kakarott. I'll let it go. Harry, go and get ready. We're leaving early to catch the train," Vegeta said and left the kitchen.
Goku turned dark eyes on his host and hostess. Harry was still rooted next to the breakfast bar. "Both of you are very lucky that I walked in when I did, or else there wouldn't have been anything left to identify the bodies by."
"Get out of my house and don't come back," Vernon hissed.
"Don't worry we're leaving but believe me if Vegeta ever finds out that any of you hurt Harry ever again you're going to wish that you'd never been born."
Goku left the kitchen followed by Harry.
~*~
Vegeta was in the bathroom taking a shower when Goku entered via IT. He embraced his smaller mate planting a kiss on his wet tanned skin.
"You're gonna have to be more subtle, koi"
"That fuckin' tub of lard should have his ass kick into next week for picking on the boy" Vegeta hissed. He was just disgusted with Harry's relatives.
"I know how you feel about that Geta, but you have to think about the baby," Goku said as he ran a large calloused hand over his mate's flat stomach. "It will do her no good for you to be upset"
Vegeta looked up into onyx orbs. "What do you mean her? It could be a boy you know," he said smirking, like a maniac.
"Oh, Kami please let it be a girl. I'm done with boys and you should be too" Goku teased giving Vegeta another kiss.
The royal didn't comment as their tongues battled with each other. Forty- five minutes had passed before Harry saw his friends again.
~oOo@oOo~
At the train station they were getting funny looks from people but somehow they knew that Vegeta was someone of great importance just by the way he carried himself. The crowd of people just seemed to part for him and his companions.
Once on board the train the prince had to go straight to the restroom. That run through the gateway platform didn't agree with his stomach.
Harry found Ron and Hermione some time afterwards. He couldn't wait to tell them about his new friends.
"Hello Harry. How was your summer? I trust that it wasn't too bad," Hermione asked.
"It was okay. Nothing to write about really"
"Yes, we could tell," Ron commented. He was still mad that the Dursley's kept Harry's owl locked-up and couldn't write to any one.
The car door slid open to reveal a flustered prince. Harry hid his smile. Poor Vegeta looked like hell. Harry should have warned him about that first step. He was about to introduce Vegeta when Ron's temper took hold.
"Sorry, but the Slytherin rejects are in the next car over," Ron bit out. When it came to Harry, Ron and Hermione were very protective of him.
No ningen was going to berate him in front of other people. Even though Vegeta looked like death warmed over he could still move quickly. Scaring the living day lights out of Ron, he grabbed him by the throat and hauled him out of his seat. Hermione was quick too. She pulled out her wand and aimed it at the royal.
"I am not one to trifle with, boy. Tell your girlfriend to put her weapon away and I might spare the both of you" Vegeta threatened.
"Hermione," Harry whispered.
"No."
"By the time you think up a spell to cast, I would have you disarmed and snapped his neck in one move," Vegeta said never taking his eyes off Ron.
Just to prove his point, Vegeta's tail whipped out snatching her wand, taking her and Harry by surprise. Goku arrived right when he did that.
"Geta, put him down"
"You're no fun, Kakarott" Vegeta said as he dropped Ron.
The redhead was gasping for air. "RON!" Hermione yelled. "Are you all right?" She asked going to his side.
"Yeah, I'll live. I think"
Goku shot his mate a disapproving look. "Hiya. I'm Goku and this is Vegeta who you all ready met. Sorry for his behavior he's a tad bit tired. He tends to get grumpy when he doesn't get plenty of rest," he said hoping to smooth things over between the friends.
Vegeta said nothing as he sat down next to Ron forcing the youth to move closer to his friend. Hermione still eyed the prince.
"May I have my wand back, please?"
Cold obsidian orbs pierced her very soul. Hermione never seen such dark window's before and it give her the creeps. Vegeta passed the slim handcrafted wood to its' owner.
"Vegeta, Goku this is Ron and Hermione my best friends," Harry said after finding his tongue. Well, that was some first impression.
"Harry! You mean to say that you know these people?" Ron nearly yelled causing both Saiyans to jump.
"Um, yeah. Dumbledore wanted me to make sure that they arrived at Hogwarts without any problems."
Never one to hold his tongue, Ron asked, "Why would Dumbledore want Muggles at the school?"
"Muggles?" Goku repeated.
"Muggles are people who posses no type of magical gifts" Hermione explained. "But you know nothing about the wizarding world. How did you know about spells?"
Vegeta kept up his silence.
"From what was in the letter we gathered as much." Goku answered.
"Oh" was the only reply that Hermione could make.
~oOo@oOo~
Ron, Hermione and Harry were already seated in the Great Hall. Before they had entered Hagrid stopped them to escort Vegeta and Goku to Dumbledore's office. Goku and Hagrid chatted away as if they had known each other for years. Vegeta hung back listening to his mate and the giant talk about any and every thing.
As soon as the small group entered the office, Hagrid bid them good-bye and told them that he would see them later. Goku peered around the bi-level office. Books upon books captured his eye after he walked-up the short set of steps from the entryway.
Vegeta set his gaze on the elder Headmaster. Something about him seemed so familiar.
"Ah, gentlemen. I see that you have arrived safely."
"Now, since we're all here, what do you want with us?" Vegeta said standing with his arms folded over his chest.
"Please sit down" Dumbledore motioned to the set of chairs in front of his desk.
Goku immediately took a seat. Vegeta, against his better judgement, sat down as well.
"I'll get straight to the point." Dumbledore said not even bothering to offer them anything to drink. "Two of our best students are at odds with each other. They are also in rival houses. Both are very powerful wizards. One has already chosen the path to fight for the Light. The other. . .is undecided. He is unsure if he wants to follow the Light or follow the Dark.
Now, imagine what would happen if two of the most strongest wizards in the world were to say. . .battle each other they-"
"They could wipe out the whole wizarding world" Goku interjected.
Dumbledore nodded. His blue eyes landed on Vegeta.
"But we don't understand what does that has to do with us," Goku said.
His eyes then shifted to Goku.
"You Mr. Son should know that answer better than any one. You're the strongest fighter in the universe. You've defeated countless of enemies and yet you managed to befriend your greatest foe."
The Saiyans looked at each other. Vegeta smirked. He knew where this conversation was heading. "The answer is no"
"But Your Highness-"
"How do you know that I am of Royal blood?" Vegeta barked standing up ready to leave.
Dumbledore smiled brightly. "Let's go have dinner and we'll talk more afterwards. Here are some items that you can change in to." Then he left.
Goku turned puppy eyes on his lover. "No, Kakarott"
"Ahh, come on Geta. How often do we get to have fun and play match maker?"
"We fight for fun. Playing cupid is for that onna of yours," Vegeta huffed.
"Don't forget about Bulma. They've been trying forever to get Trunks and Goten hooked-up," Goku replied.
Whatever comment Vegeta was going to make died on his lips. He was standing slack jaw next to Goku.
"Hey what's wrong?" Goku asked then his eyes settled on the large opened box. Inside the package were Saiyan body armor but not just any type of armor. Vegeta was at a loss for words. "Geta is that. . ."
"Hai it is Kakarott. It's my formal armor"
Vegeta pulled out the white and gold body armor. Underneath was a pair of matching gloves and white gold tipped boots. He ran his fingers carefully over the red insignia on the upper left part of the armor. It represented the Royal House of Vegetasei. Also inside the box was a black one-piece spandex body suit.
Vegeta also pulled out his pendant. Something that he thought he would never see again. The armor was completed with gold tipped shoulder guards and cape.
After he changed his clothes, Vegeta came to a decision. He might regret it in the morning, but what the hell.
Goku also had a new set of clothes. Instead of his traditional orange gi he was now sporting an all black gi uniform including weighted wristbands and boots.
The larger male gathered his partner in his arms. "I know what you're going to say Kay"
"Then you know that Dumbledore is right. Let's go have dinner and see what else he has to say. Besides, I'm staving"
On cue his stomach grumbled. They shared a laugh as Goku put two fingers to his forehead and they shimmered out of the office.
~oOo@oOo~
Harry had been trying to refrain himself from turning around. He knew that someone had been watching him from the moment he had walked into the Great Hall and it was grating his nerves.
"So, Harry where do you think our barbaric friends are from?" Hermione asked.
Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Ron beat him to it. "Well, wherever they're from it's not from around here. I don't even think that they're from this planet."
"I think that you might be right Ron. I mean, did you see his tail? I wonder if that's real. Anyway, he's dangerous, magic or not, and he's cute. His friend, too"
Ron stared at his girlfriend. "No you just did not say that they were cute"
"Yes, I did."
"Come on guys." Harry loved it when they fought but he wasn't ready for them to duke it out.
He had only wished that he would be able to find someone like they had found each other. However, he knew that his dream of getting the one that he loved was next to impossible.
"Just give them a chance. I'm quite sure that he has a very good reason for doing what he did." Harry offered.
"Harry, you can't be serious?" Ron gaped at his friend like he was crazy. "Besides that, did you see how they kept looking at each other?"
"Yeah, like they were going to jump on each other and give us show right there," Hermione said, making Ron and Harry blush with the thought. Something told her that there was more to them that meets the eye.
All talking ceased when Professor McGonagall tapped her water goblet to gain the students' attention. Dumbledore stood. He went through the regular announcements about the Dark Forest being off limits and no wandering after curfew.
Harry noticed that the Headmaster kept looking from him to the Slytherin table, no doubt he was looking at Draco, but Harry didn't dare turn to get a glimpse of his secret crush. He had finally admitted to Ron and Hermione last year that he was attracted to the Malfoy heir.
As always Ron hit the roof and Hermione just smiled with stars in her eyes. Harry had made them promise never to say anything to Draco or try anything that would involve him making an ass out of himself. Harry's attention was brought back when Dumbledore's voice took on a serious tone.
". . .Also, I would like to introduce my very special guests. Prince Vegeta and his consort, Goku"
The majestic golden double doors opened to reveal the Saiyan prince. Vegeta's steps resounded through the hall. Goku followed just behind him. Vegeta's black and red cape billowed around him as he made his way to the head table.
The Golden Trio of Gryffindor's mouths dropped open. "He's a prince?" Hermione whispered.
Harry was trying hard to maintain a sense of calm and Ron was trying not to choke.
The Saiyans stopped at the base of the dais. Vegeta bowed to Dumbledore and ignored the rest. Goku stood erect like the warrior he was. The royal's eyes immediately landed on Professor Snape. Vegeta was getting a bad feeling from the Potions Master.
Snape stared at the couple.
Vegeta was about to say something when a barely audible comment was made. He turned his dark deadly gaze toward the Slytherin table. He was getting ready to unload on the offender when Goku stopped him.
"Be nice Geta. She didn't mean it in a bad way," Goku whispered.
The royal turned back to the Headmaster. "I must warn you all to please restrain yourselves from making any type of comments that would suggest an interest toward Mr. Son or Prince Vegeta. The end results could prove disastrous or fatal. Now, let the feast begin."
Vegeta and Goku took their place next to Dumbledore. Goku had to keep reminding himself throughout the entire meal to eat very slowly but it was so damn hard. He didn't want to do anything that would embarrass Vegeta or Dumbledore, but his stomach was starting to cramp because he wasn't filling it quick enough.
Snape was sitting at the end of the table. Every now and then he would sneak peeks at the prince and his consort. Snape had lip read what Goku had said. He didn't understand why the muscle bound brute would talk to himself.
Everyone went back to socializing. The new topic was the Muggles that Professor Dumbledore had allowed to stay at Hogwarts.
Draco had been looking at the Gryffindor table until announcements were made. He was trying his best to drill a hole in Harry's back but the stubborn 'boy-who-lived' refused to turn around. He noticed that Potter had been preoccupied with something.
/How dare he avoid him?/ Draco didn't take too kindly being ignored, but then again he stayed away from Potter on purpose.
Draco didn't want to admit to himself that he had fallen for the emerald- eyed Gryffindor golden boy. That alone would cause all kinds of trouble for him with his father and he was not ready to handle that just yet.
One by one the students began to file out of the Great Hall to retire for the evening. However, the only teachers that remained were Snape and Black.
Vegeta was starting to get antsy; in addition to that he was feeling hot. He was having a hard time keeping his tail around his waist. He looked over at Goku and noticed the same look on his face and beads of sweat forming on his brow.
He stood getting ready to leave they needed to get out of there, but unfortunately Fate was against them.
"So, Prince Vegeta it what are you a prince of?" Snape drawled.
"Sorry but we need to discuss this at another time." Vegeta and Goku were already standing in front of the table.
Far in the distance, Harry and company were still talking. Draco with his group were also hanging around.
"What are you hiding? You seem very eager to leave." Snape continued.
"Severus please, they are our guests and we must treat them as such. They will also be assisting Professors Lupin and Black."
"Headmaster, what knowledge do they have that would be of use to our students?"
"A demonstration will be held tomorrow. Until then I bid you all good night."
Goku and Vegeta nearly ran from the hall trying to get as far away from the castle as possible. It wouldn't do them any good to tear up the place on their first night there. Albus knew that they were not going to need a room tonight. He would wait until tomorrow to show them to their quarters.
~oOo@oOo~
The Slytherin prince made his way to the Gryffindor table to commence his and Harry's verbal spar. "Well, Potter I see you still have bad taste in friends"
"We were wondering when you were going to rear your ugly head, Blondie" Ron snapped.
"If I remember, I wasn't talking to you weasel," Draco said.
"Guys, not tonight," Harry cut in.
Hermione looked at her friend, seeing the nervousness in Harry's green eyes. "Harry what's wrong?"
"Um, have any of you looked at your schedules?" Harry was trying to avoid Draco vivid silver orbs. He didn't want to get trapped in their crystal depths.
"No, why?" Hermione asked.
Since Draco was standing next to Harry he glanced down at the parchment with the list of classes. "Holy shit!"
"Malfoy, watch your mouth. There's a lady present," Ron said.
But Draco ignored Ron. "Alright Potter, what the Hell did you do?"
"Me?!"
"How did you manage to get into almost every single one of my classes?"
"Look Malfoy, think whatever you like about me but the world does not revolve around you."
The remaining students were starting to watch Harry and Draco start the off year with their annual argument. A year never went by without them trying to kill each other on the first day back.
"Don't you think that it's time to call it an evening?"
Harry snapped his head around. "Professor Snape we. . .were um-"
". . .Getting ready to leave" Hermione interjected casting Draco an evil glare.
They quickly exited the hall. Thefriends walked back to the Gryffindor dorm rooms when they heard. . .
"GGGRRRHHH!!!"
The group of teens stopped suddenly. "What was that?" Hermione asked. Her heart beating wildly, her ears ringing from the growl.
"Don't be such a scaredy cat. It was a werewolf. You know that Professor Lupin is out. It's a full moon tonight, remember?" Ron said.
"Ron, that wasn't Remus. Werewolves howl, not roar," Harry explained.
"If it wasn't him then who?"
"Don't know, but whatever it is it sounded quite large," Harry said as they entered the Common room. "Good night you two. I'm going to need all the rest that I can get seeing that I have to look at Malfoy all day"
"Harry what class do you have first?" Hermione inquired.
"Let's see. . .Transfigurations"
"Well, I won't see you until Defense Against the Dark Arts." Hermione hugged him and said goodnight. She and Ron were going to stay up a little while longer.
Harry settled into bed after a quick shower. He had pulled out his book on Saiyan culture. There was a definite reason as to why Vegeta and Goku were there at the school. He opened to the next chapter that he was reading: Mating Rituals.
~~~Saiyans choose their mates by scent. Regardless of gender, mated pairs are together for life. This is known as a bond. If one dies, the other will die shortly thereafter, as one cannot and simply will not live without the other.
Claimed mates are recognized by the marks on the juncture between the neck and shoulder. These marks are from the incisors and canines. This is done during coupling or once sexual fulfillment is complete. The dominant mate will show possessiveness by looping his or her tail around the submissive mate's right wrist. Usually, this is done in public to show that the male or female is off limits.
In the case of male/male bonding the submissive mate has the ability to produce offspring. From the moment after birth certain males have been injected with female hormones to reproduce eggs at certain times of the year.
Even though the male is injected with the hormone, it does not change his physical appearances thus allowing the male to develop naturally. Since the male does not have uterus the baby must be taken out of the womb by means of surgery. If surgery is not performed within a certain time frame the 'Mother' and infant will die. . .~~
It was past midnight when Harry read halfway through the section. He closed the book and blew out the candle to get some rest, because God only knew what tomorrow had in store for him.
~ TBC ~
A/N: Did anyone figure out why Vegeta couldn't read what was going through Dumbledore's mind? So, Geta got a bad feeling from Snape. Care to guess what's going to happen the next time that they meet? How did Dumbledore know so much stuff about them? I don't know but I can't wait to find out. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
~oOo@oOo~
Teaser Chapter 3: DADP
Goku decided that his prince needed to get out of the castle for a while and had asked for permission to go some where they could workout. He did inform Dumbledore that they had needed plenty of room to spar.
"Geta, try to take it easy this time okay" Goku said.
"Hn, You're just worried that I'll kick your butt" Vegeta replied.
The Saiyans were standing in the middle of the pitch. Ron and Hermione had a free class period and were hanging out in the bleachers waiting for Harry to show in a few minutes. They spotted the couple on the field.
"Hey Mione look down there. What do you think they are up to?" Ron asked.
"Not a clue but I you ask me. . ." Hermione was cut off when they heard a loud boom.

The following morning proved to be too much for the Dursleys. The kitchen was in shambles. Pertunia stood in the middle of her kitchen with a look of horror. The entire contents of the refrigerator were gone. Vernon came in expecting his usual morning cup of coffee but that thought was gone when he noticed that breakfast wasn't prepared.

"Get out of my house and don't come back," Vernon hissed.

"I'll get straight to the point." Dumbledore said not even bothering to offer them anything to drink. "Two of our best students are at odds with each other. They are also in rival houses.

Dumbledore smiled brightly. "Let's go have dinner and we'll talk more afterwards. Here are some items that you can change in to." Then he left.
Goku turned puppy eyes on his lover. "No, Kakarott"
"Ahh, come on Geta. How often do we get to have fun and play match maker?"
"We fight for fun. Playing cupid is for that onna of yours," Vegeta huffed.
"Don't forget about Bulma. They've been trying forever to get Trunks and Goten hooked-up," Goku replied.
Whatever comment Vegeta was going to make died on his lips. He was standing slack jaw next to Goku.
"Hey what's wrong?" Goku asked then his eyes settled on the large opened box. Inside the package were Saiyan body armor but not just any type of armor. Vegeta was at a loss for words. "Geta is that. . ."
"Hai it is Kakarott. It's my formal armor"
Vegeta pulled out the white and gold body armor. Underneath was a pair of matching gloves and white gold tipped boots. He ran his fingers carefully over the red insignia on the upper left part of the armor. It represented the Royal House of Vegetasei. Also inside the box was a black one-piece spandex body suit.
Vegeta also pulled out his pendant. Something that he thought he would never see again. The armor was completed with gold tipped shoulder guards and cape.
After he changed his clothes, Vegeta came to a decision. He might regret it in the morning, but what the hell.
Goku also had a new set of clothes. Instead of his traditional orange gi he was now sporting an all black gi uniform including weighted wristbands and boots.
The larger male gathered his partner in his arms. "I know what you're going to say Kay"
"Then you know that Dumbledore is right. Let's go have dinner and see what else he has to say. Besides, I'm staving"
On cue his stomach grumbled. They shared a laugh as Goku put two fingers to his forehead and they shimmered out of the office.
~oOo@oOo~
Harry had been trying to refrain himself from turning around. He knew that someone had been watching him from the moment he had walked into the Great Hall and it was grating his nerves.
"So, Harry where do you think our barbaric friends are from?" Hermione asked.
Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Ron beat him to it. "Well, wherever they're from it's not from around here. I don't even think that they're from this planet."
"I think that you might be right Ron. I mean, did you see his tail? I wonder if that's real. Anyway, he's dangerous, magic or not, and he's cute. His friend, too"
Ron stared at his girlfriend. "No you just did not say that they were cute"
"Yes, I did."
"Come on guys." Harry loved it when they fought but he wasn't ready for them to duke it out.
He had only wished that he would be able to find someone like they had found each other. However, he knew that his dream of getting the one that he loved was next to impossible.
"Just give them a chance. I'm quite sure that he has a very good reason for doing what he did." Harry offered.
"Harry, you can't be serious?" Ron gaped at his friend like he was crazy. "Besides that, did you see how they kept looking at each other?"
"Yeah, like they were going to jump on each other and give us show right there," Hermione said, making Ron and Harry blush with the thought. Something told her that there was more to them that meets the eye.
All talking ceased when Professor McGonagall tapped her water goblet to gain the students' attention. Dumbledore stood. He went through the regular announcements about the Dark Forest being off limits and no wandering after curfew.
Harry noticed that the Headmaster kept looking from him to the Slytherin table, no doubt he was looking at Draco, but Harry didn't dare turn to get a glimpse of his secret crush. He had finally admitted to Ron and Hermione last year that he was attracted to the Malfoy heir.
As always Ron hit the roof and Hermione just smiled with stars in her eyes. Harry had made them promise never to say anything to Draco or try anything that would involve him making an ass out of himself. Harry's attention was brought back when Dumbledore's voice took on a serious tone.
". . .Also, I would like to introduce my very special guests. Prince Vegeta and his consort, Goku"
The majestic golden double doors opened to reveal the Saiyan prince. Vegeta's steps resounded through the hall. Goku followed just behind him. Vegeta's black and red cape billowed around him as he made his way to the head table.
The Golden Trio of Gryffindor's mouths dropped open. "He's a prince?" Hermione whispered.
Harry was trying hard to maintain a sense of calm and Ron was trying not to choke.
The Saiyans stopped at the base of the dais. Vegeta bowed to Dumbledore and ignored the rest. Goku stood erect like the warrior he was. The royal's eyes immediately landed on Professor Snape. Vegeta was getting a bad feeling from the Potions Master.
Snape stared at the couple.
Vegeta was about to say something when a barely audible comment was made. He turned his dark deadly gaze toward the Slytherin table. He was getting ready to unload on the offender when Goku stopped him.
"Be nice Geta. She didn't mean it in a bad way," Goku whispered.
The royal turned back to the Headmaster. "I must warn you all to please restrain yourselves from making any type of comments that would suggest an interest toward Mr. Son or Prince Vegeta. The end results could prove disastrous or fatal. Now, let the feast begin."
Vegeta and Goku took their place next to Dumbledore. Goku had to keep reminding himself throughout the entire meal to eat very slowly but it was so damn hard. He didn't want to do anything that would embarrass Vegeta or Dumbledore, but his stomach was starting to cramp because he wasn't filling it quick enough.
Snape was sitting at the end of the table. Every now and then he would sneak peeks at the prince and his consort. Snape had lip read what Goku had said. He didn't understand why the muscle bound brute would talk to himself.
Everyone went back to socializing. The new topic was the Muggles that Professor Dumbledore had allowed to stay at Hogwarts.
Draco had been looking at the Gryffindor table until announcements were made. He was trying his best to drill a hole in Harry's back but the stubborn 'boy-who-lived' refused to turn around. He noticed that Potter had been preoccupied with something.
/How dare he avoid him?/ Draco didn't take too kindly being ignored, but then again he stayed away from Potter on purpose.
Draco didn't want to admit to himself that he had fallen for the emerald- eyed Gryffindor golden boy. That alone would cause all kinds of trouble for him with his father and he was not ready to handle that just yet.
One by one the students began to file out of the Great Hall to retire for the evening. However, the only teachers that remained were Snape and Black.
Vegeta was starting to get antsy; in addition to that he was feeling hot. He was having a hard time keeping his tail around his waist. He looked over at Goku and noticed the same look on his face and beads of sweat forming on his brow.
He stood getting ready to leave they needed to get out of there, but unfortunately Fate was against them.
"So, Prince Vegeta it what are you a prince of?" Snape drawled.
"Sorry but we need to discuss this at another time." Vegeta and Goku were already standing in front of the table.
Far in the distance, Harry and company were still talking. Draco with his group were also hanging around.
"What are you hiding? You seem very eager to leave." Snape continued.
"Severus please, they are our guests and we must treat them as such. They will also be assisting Professors Lupin and Black."
"Headmaster, what knowledge do they have that would be of use to our students?"
"A demonstration will be held tomorrow. Until then I bid you all good night."
Goku and Vegeta nearly ran from the hall trying to get as far away from the castle as possible. It wouldn't do them any good to tear up the place on their first night there. Albus knew that they were not going to need a room tonight. He would wait until tomorrow to show them to their quarters.
~oOo@oOo~
The Slytherin prince made his way to the Gryffindor table to commence his and Harry's verbal spar. "Well, Potter I see you still have bad taste in friends"
"We were wondering when you were going to rear your ugly head, Blondie" Ron snapped.
"If I remember, I wasn't talking to you weasel," Draco said.
"Guys, not tonight," Harry cut in.
Hermione looked at her friend, seeing the nervousness in Harry's green eyes. "Harry what's wrong?"
"Um, have any of you looked at your schedules?" Harry was trying to avoid Draco vivid silver orbs. He didn't want to get trapped in their crystal depths.
"No, why?" Hermione asked.
Since Draco was standing next to Harry he glanced down at the parchment with the list of classes. "Holy shit!"
"Malfoy, watch your mouth. There's a lady present," Ron said.
But Draco ignored Ron. "Alright Potter, what the Hell did you do?"
"Me?!"
"How did you manage to get into almost every single one of my classes?"
"Look Malfoy, think whatever you like about me but the world does not revolve around you."
The remaining students were starting to watch Harry and Draco start the off year with their annual argument. A year never went by without them trying to kill each other on the first day back.
"Don't you think that it's time to call it an evening?"
Harry snapped his head around. "Professor Snape we. . .were um-"
". . .Getting ready to leave" Hermione interjected casting Draco an evil glare.
They quickly exited the hall. Thefriends walked back to the Gryffindor dorm rooms when they heard. . .
"GGGRRRHHH!!!"
The group of teens stopped suddenly. "What was that?" Hermione asked. Her heart beating wildly, her ears ringing from the growl.
"Don't be such a scaredy cat. It was a werewolf. You know that Professor Lupin is out. It's a full moon tonight, remember?" Ron said.
"Ron, that wasn't Remus. Werewolves howl, not roar," Harry explained.
"If it wasn't him then who?"
"Don't know, but whatever it is it sounded quite large," Harry said as they entered the Common room. "Good night you two. I'm going to need all the rest that I can get seeing that I have to look at Malfoy all day"
"Harry what class do you have first?" Hermione inquired.
"Let's see. . .Transfigurations"
"Well, I won't see you until Defense Against the Dark Arts." Hermione hugged him and said goodnight. She and Ron were going to stay up a little while longer.
Harry settled into bed after a quick shower. He had pulled out his book on Saiyan culture. There was a definite reason as to why Vegeta and Goku were there at the school. He opened to the next chapter that he was reading: Mating Rituals.
~~~Saiyans choose their mates by scent. Regardless of gender, mated pairs are together for life. This is known as a bond. If one dies, the other will die shortly thereafter, as one cannot and simply will not live without the other.
Claimed mates are recognized by the marks on the juncture between the neck and shoulder. These marks are from the incisors and canines. This is done during coupling or once sexual fulfillment is complete. The dominant mate will show possessiveness by looping his or her tail around the submissive mate's right wrist. Usually, this is done in public to show that the male or female is off limits.
In the case of male/male bonding the submissive mate has the ability to produce offspring. From the moment after birth certain males have been injected with female hormones to reproduce eggs at certain times of the year.
Even though the male is injected with the hormone, it does not change his physical appearances thus allowing the male to develop naturally. Since the male does not have uterus the baby must be taken out of the womb by means of surgery. If surgery is not performed within a certain time frame the 'Mother' and infant will die. . .~~
It was past midnight when Harry read halfway through the section. He closed the book and blew out the candle to get some rest, because God only knew what tomorrow had in store for him.
~ TBC ~
A/N: Did anyone figure out why Vegeta couldn't read what was going through Dumbledore's mind? So, Geta got a bad feeling from Snape. Care to guess what's going to happen the next time that they meet? How did Dumbledore know so much stuff about them? I don't know but I can't wait to find out. Stay tuned for the next chapter.

Teaser Chapter 3: DADP
Goku decided that his prince needed to get out of the castle for a while and had asked for permission to go some where they could workout. He did inform Dumbledore that they had needed plenty of room to spar.
"Geta, try to take it easy this time okay" Goku said.
"Hn, You're just worried that I'll kick your butt" Vegeta replied.
The Saiyans were standing in the middle of the pitch. Ron and Hermione had a free class period and were hanging out in the bleachers waiting for Harry to show in a few minutes. They spotted the couple on the field.
"Hey Mione look down there. What do you think they are up to?" Ron asked.
"Not a clue but I you ask me. . ." Hermione was cut off when they heard a loud boom.
