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.

~V: You're right. How would it look that someone can peek into the mind of the most powerful wizard of all time?

~Mistress of Goth: Here's your update. I promise to work faster for the next chapter ^_~

~Kewla: I totally agree with on that! Sexy, sexy, sexy! Believe me when I say that I had to take my time writing that part ^_~ Your question about how did Dumbledore know? That will come up again in a later chapter. Yes, Goku is spoiling all of Vegeta's fun but it's for the prince's own good. And as far as that warning goes well read on and find out what happens.

Hermione figures out why the guys had to leave the hall in such a hurry. And as far as Draco goes, will he continue with family tradition and be Potter's enemy or will he follow his heart? And Lucius will make an appearance to help him with that decision. ^_~

~Christine G: I'm glad you enjoyed that but you haven't seen anything yet.

Also I would like to say thank you to my new beta-reader the Pixelgoddess ^_~

Now enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!

~oOo@oOo~

Morning came too soon for the weary Saiyan males. Vegeta and Goku lay on the dewy grass in a tangled mess of limbs and tails. The pull of the moon was stronger here than at home. Vegeta figured that it was because of the magic that surrounded them. There was no way possible for them to resist the call. Had they stayed in the Great Hall a minute longer they would have destroyed the building.

They quickly dressed and made their way back to the castle. Fortunately, Goku had removed his clothes before he had transformed or else he would be walking on the school grounds naked. Vegeta was just thankful that his body suit was the super stretch material that expanded to fit him in his Oozaru state.

It was a little after six o'clock and the students were still sleeping, which they were thankful for because they were not sure if they could explain why they were out in the middle of the field so early in the morning. Not that it was anyone's business of course.

Once they reached the entrance of the castle closet to by Hagrid's house they were greeted by none other than Professor Snape.

"Forgive me if I do not properly address you"

Vegeta made no comment and continued to walk. Something didn't feel quite right with this guy.

"Um, is there something that we can help you with?" Goku asked. He was feeling the uneasiness flowing from his mate.

"Professor Dumbledore has asked me to show you your rooms."

"Rooms?" Vegeta stopped to look at the teacher.

"Yes, you Mr. Son will be residing in the Gryffindor tower. Your companion will be in the Slytherin tower," Snape said.

They were standing in the middle of the open corridor.

"There must be a mistake. Vegeta and I cannot be separated." Goku replied. His dark eyes took on a dangerous glint.

"Really and why is that?"

"I don't know if you know anything about Saiyans Professor Snape but let the truth be told when I say it wouldn't be in the best interest of the students to keep us apart" Goku warned.

Snape casually pushed his hair away from his face. He didn't like being intimidated by Muggles. "Apparently, Mr. Son you and your friend know nothing about us. Why would the students be afraid of someone who posses no magic whatsoever?"

This time Vegeta spoke. "Because you grease ball your students are not well trained at defending themselves even if they are well equipped with defense spells. We could rip out their throats out before they could utter one single word."

Snape was used to the insults from the students and some of the teachers but he would be damned if he was going to be spoken to like this by Muggles. He whipped out his wand and pointed it directly the royal.

The Potions teacher was about to mutter a curse when he heard a deep guttural growl. Within seconds Snape found himself thrown against the stone wall looking into hard ink well eyes.

"I'm only going to warn you once Snape. I will kill you the next time you try to harm my family in any way." Goku's hair flashed a brilliant gold and his eyes a teal green.

Snape's eyes widened in shock as he saw the change in color. Since Goku had him hoisted off the ground by his neck he could only get out one word. "Family?"

"Hai. Vegeta is my mate and I will do *anything* to protect him" Goku said letting go of the taller male.

Snape stood on shaky legs. How could anyone move that fast? No human could move that quickly, but he knew from the wild look in the other man's eyes that he would carry out his threat. However, the Potions Master didn't realize that he got off easy.

The two males left the teacher in the walkway on their way to talk with the Headmaster. Snape stared after them. He noticed something move from around Goku's waist and looped itself around Vegeta's right wrist. To the professor it looked like a tail of some kind, but he dismissed the thought for later.

Snape never felt so scared in his life. The type of fear that those two commanded was something that could rival Lord Voldemort.

~oOo@oOo~

Right before breakfast Harry received a message from Dumbledore asking him to come to his office immediately. Ron and Hermione gave their friend a worried look. It was still early and they were the only ones that were up and about.

"I'm quite sure that it's nothing to worry about Harry," Hermione said trying to offer some comfort.

"Maybe it's You-Know-Who" Ron whispered.

Harry's heart leaped into his throat. God, he hoped it wasn't about Voldemort. He had other things to worry about, namely one Draco Malfoy.

"No, I don't think that it's him. My scar hasn't been hurting for some time and that's how I like it. Anyway, I hope that it doesn't take too long. I'll see you guys at breakfast."

Harry left his friends dreading his meeting with Dumbledore. He was deep in thought when he bumped into the one person that he least expected.

"WATCH IT POTTER!"

"Maybe you should Malfoy!" Harry spat wishing to God that this was anyone else. Hell, he would even settle for Snape and serving detention. Of late, Harry had been trying to avoid the Slytherin blonde.

"Hey, Harry are you all right?" Draco asked. He noticed how pale the Gryffindor had become.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine." Harry answered hesitantly. "I'm sorry for bumping into you Draco."

Neither one said anything more, not realizing that they had used their first names. The two rivals stared at each other, losing themselves in the fiery depths of their eyes. Before they could make out what they were feeling a voice cut through.

"Hi Harry," the cherry voice greeted.

"Hello Goku. Vegeta" Harry nodded toward the prince.

"Uh, who's your friend?" Goku asked.

"Well, uh. . .he's uh. . ." Harry couldn't think at the moment. His cheeks were staining a light pink and he felt his head swimming. He didn't know how to answer the question. Were he and Draco friends?

Draco noticed Harry's speech problem. He raised an eyebrow, at him then answered for him. "Malfoy. Draco Malfoy" The Slytherin said before walking off.

Goku watched the retreating back of the other teen before turning his attention back to Harry.

"We're on our way to see Dumbledore"

"Really? So am I"

"Hey we can walk together" Goku offered.

"Go ahead without me Kakarott. I'll join you shortly," Vegeta said, following after Malfoy.

~oOo@oOo~

The matter about Vegeta and Goku having separate rooms was cleared up. They would be staying in the tower between Slytherin and Gryffindor, a neutral zone of sorts.

Harry was quietly eating his meal picking at his food. He really didn't know what to say about the situation. Dumbledore had relocated him to stay with Goku and Vegeta. He didn't have a problem with that. Nope, the problem he was having was that Draco got relocated along side him. The Malfoy heir missed the meeting though he didn't understand why, but he imagined that he would find out later who his new dorm mates would be.

Harry still didn't know how to break the news to Ron and Hermione. He'd just wait until the right time to inform them. After eating all that he could eat until dinner, Harry pulled out his book. He turned to the last chapter that he was reading from last night: Oozaru.

~~This form takes place under the light of a full moon. . .

"Harry what's that you're reading?" Hermione asked.

His friend broke through his thoughts as he was beginning to get into the chapter. "Um, it's a book that I found in the library about Saiyans" He handed her the thick book.

Hermione flipped it opened to the page that was marked and began reading.

~~This form takes place under the light of a full moon and will last until the first light of day. Usually, in this form Saiyans cause more destruction than in their regular form. A great amount of concentration is needed to prevent the transformation from occurring but once the process has started there is no way possible to stop it.

Most planetary conquest by Saiyans would not have been possible if it was not for the development of the artificial moon as known as the Moon Sphere. The sphere was develop by leading Saiyan scientist, Bardock. The project was approved by King Vegeta. The reason for the Moon Sphere was that some planets did not have moons. However, if the planet did, the passing of a full moon would be too far away for the transformation to take place and for the required time to take over the planet.

The Moon Sphere also allowed Saiyans to transform at any given time.

Caution is advised with a mated pair while in this form especially if the submissive mate is pregnant.

The dominant mate becomes more aggressive and the submissive mate's maternal instincts become heightened, which can cause the sudden need to transform if their anger level cannot be controlled.

While in their human-like form the mated pair is very possessive and protective of each other. If the dominant mate feels that his or her mate's life is threatened he/she will eliminate the threat, making the dominant mate very dangerous (please refer to Mating Ritual chapter regarding possession)

If at any time during adulthood that the tail is severed the transformation will not occur. However, the appendage can regenerate itself under special circumstances. If the Saiyan in question has not been claimed his/her tail can grow back by mating. Also, if the Saiyan in question has mated, the regrowth can occur under a full moon during a heat cycle. . .~~

Hermione quickly flipped through to the table of contents and found what she was looking for. She opened to another page. It was a picture of the Royal family. In the middle was a lovely young woman with long jet-black hair seated in what seemed to be a throne with a high back. She was wearing a blue gown. Off to her right was a tall man.

His hair was reddish-black that resembled a roaring fire and had a goatee of the same color. He was wearing a blue spandex bodysuit with white gloves and gold tipped boots. The outfit was completed by white body armor with gold trim and red and black cape clasped at the shoulders. Dangling from his neck was a pendant. To the left of the woman was a small boy who bore a striking resemblance to the man.

Underneath the picture it read: (from left to right: King Vegeta, Queen ________, and Prince Vegeta). Hermione turned back to the page she was reading and saw the picture of the scientist and his family. The Gryffindor studied the photo.

An infant with black spiky hair was sitting on the floor wearing nothing but a diaper. Next to the infant was a teenager with long, wild, black spiky hair. He wore body armor and a short spandex suit. Another tall male also had black spiky hair. He was wearing a black body suit. His armor was white with green trim, but it was different from the other suits of armor, as it was of a vest type of style. He was wearing green gauntlets and matching leg guards. A scar was on the left side of his face indicating that he was a warrior as well. Underneath the picture it reads: (from left to right to right: Kakarott, Bardock (center), and Raditz).

"Oh my goodness Harry!" Hermione exclaimed. "Do you know who this is?" She flipped back and forth in the book pointing to the little boy from the royal family and pointing to the infant with the scientist.

After hearing her comment Ron got up to inspect the photographs as well. Both teens gasped as realization took them by storm.

Harry looked-up toward the teacher's table at the two new faces then he looked back down again. "Hermione, that looks just like Vegeta," He said, pointing to King Vegeta's picture.

"No, Harry that is Vegeta. Only younger and this is Goku" Hermione stated.

"Hold on. If that's him then why does he look so much like him?" Harry asked pointing a slender digit to the older male royal.

"He must have very strong genes."

"Yeah, look at the other picture. You would swear that that Bardock guy looks exactly like Goku," Ron said.

The other two nodded their head in agreement.

"Harry, obviously someone put this book in the library for you to find"

"But who would do that and why?" Harry asked.

"Don't know. What have you learned so far?" Hermione questioned.

Harry gave the question some thought before answering. "They are a very proud race for one. The most interesting fact is their mating habits. It seems that a male can mate with either another male or with a female but never two females."

"That's funny" Hermione started.

"Why you say that Mione?" Ron asked.

"It's that same for us"

"WHAT???" Ron and Harry nearly shouted gaining some attention.

"If you ever pay attention in class you both would know this. In the wizarding world in order to continue the bloodline of any family a male and female can join together as well as two males but never two females." Hermione explained.

This was something that caught Harry's interest. His main concern was that if anything become of him and Draco that they would never be able to have any children. Now, his prayers where answered. Harry could have the home life that he had always dreamed about.

Someone to love him just as much as he would love them, but his thoughts took on a realistic view. Draco would never want to be with another guy, let alone him. Life was just so unfair.

"But that's not what I'm worried about" Hermione continued pulling Harry back to the present.

"No?" Ron said looking puzzled.

"No, the real worry is that Goku and Vegeta can transform into this" Hermione said showing the boys a picture of a giant ape with red glowing eyes and razor sharp teeth. "Remember last night how they were trying to leave the Hall in a hurry?"

Ron and Harry nodded their heads.

"I think that is what we heard on our way back to the dorms"

"No way" Ron said.

"Well, there's only one way to find out" Harry said closing the book.

Ron and Hermione knew exactly what he was talking about. It was time to dust off the invisibility cloak.

~oOo@oOo~

Goku decided that his prince needed to get out of the castle for a while. He had asked for permission to go somewhere they could workout. He did inform Dumbledore that they needed plenty of room.

"Geta try to take it easy, 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 up. 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 Gryffindors looked on the field to see Goku stretched out on the soft grass with Vegeta standing over him. They were about to rush down there to make sure that Goku was all right but the large male stood patting the dirt and grass off his pants.

"Hey guys what's going on?" Harry just showed up in time to witness the scene down below. He was watching the two males with interest.

"We're not even sure ourselves Harry. We heard a loud boom and Goku like looked he was thrown clear across the field." Hermione explained.

The Gryffindors turned their attention back to the Saiyans.

"I'm surprised that you let me get a good hit in Kakarott" Vegeta said smirking.

"Well, I was day dreaming about something."

The prince raised an eyebrow. "About what?"

Goku grinned never took his eyes off his lover. His black tail came from around his waist and looped itself around Vegeta's pulling him closer. He bent down crushing his lips to his mate's. Goku traced his tongue along Vegeta's bottom lip. The prince granted the larger Saiyan access. Vegeta arched into Goku grinding himself against his semi-hard member.

They pulled apart slightly taking in some air. They stared into mirrored windows. They could hear the startled gasps coming from stands.

"Let's go before we really give them something to talk about," Goku said, as he placed two fingers against his forehead picturing their dorm room and ITing there.

The Golden Trio stared at the empty field in disbelief. "How could to do that? No one can apparate on school grounds," Ron started.

"Yes and not only that they have no type of magic" Hermione added.

"Guys, that's not the point!" Harry interjected.

They looked at him. "No? Then what is?" Ron asked. He was being calm considering what he just saw.

He wasn't about to upset Harry over his disgust. It was bad enough that his friend told him that he fancied Malfoy. Of all the bloody boys in this school his best friend had to fall for that no good git.

"Goku and Vegeta are a mated pair."

"Harry we don't know that." Hermione admitted.

"You've read the book, plus you've noticed how they seem to just snap at other people for either looking too long or saying something wrong." Harry replied.

"Harry, that would mean that one of them is pregnant. Why don't we ask them? I'm quite sure that will tell us," Hermione said.

"There's a better way to find out if they're mates," Harry said.

"How's that mate?" the red head asked.

"They would have some type of mark or scar on the right side of their neck," Harry replied.

"Well, we can figure this all out later. Right now let's go, we don't want to be late for class," Hermione said.

They picked up their book bags and headed back to the castle.

~oOo@oOo~

The day dragged on forever. Harry was finally in his last class, Defense Against the Dark Arts along with his friends and Malfoy as well as the other two houses. He hadn't seen Goku or Vegeta since early part of the day. They were probably doing something that he had yet to experience.

Harry noticed that that all four houses were present. This reminded him of the Dueling Club with that nutcase Lockhart. What a crackpot he turned out to be the wimp. He turned his attention back to his friend Professor Lupin.

"Now, in addition to what we've learned so far, you will also learn how to do some hand to hand combat"

Professor Black took over. "To demonstrate, Prince Vegeta and Mr. Son will show us some basic moves. Tomorrow we will have group training."

Goku and Vegeta walked onto the raised wooden platform. Vegeta stood at one end and Goku at the other both took battle stances. However, before that could start a question was raised.

"Would it not be beneficial if one of them had a volunteer?"

It was Professor Snape. He was still mad about the confrontation from this morning.

"I don't see that as a problem. Professor Lupin?" Sirius said.

"Um, no. Mr. Son?" Lupin directed the question to Goku.

Goku placed his hand at the back of his head smiling from ear to ear. "No--- "

"I will go first," Vegeta finally spoke cutting in before Goku said anything else. All the girls swooned at the sound of his low sexy tenor. "And I want Professor Snape as my sparring partner"

The prince turned to the teacher. Surprise was clearly written across Snape's face. Well, now he had his opportunity to show up this muggle. Vegeta knew what the man was thinking.

Goku walked over to his mate whispering in his ear. "Geta, please go easy on him. Remember you have someone else to think about now."

Vegeta smirk. "Don't worry I will be careful. As for Snape. . .I'll try to take it easy but no guarantees." Goku knew what that meant. Vegeta was going to pound Snape into the ground without killing him.

Both combatants took their position on opposite ends of the platform. Vegeta in his battle stance his muscular legs spreaded apart slightly. His hands in a claw like position.

Snape stood in his battle stance his wand pointing at the royal. This was exactly like the time he made a fool of Gilderoy Lockhart. He knew from the very start the man was a phony, and he would prove the same about the so- called prince.

~TBC ~

A/N: Sorry, but I had to end it there. There's more don't worry. So, Snape and Vegeta are going to duke it out. Any takers on who's going to win? Hermione is a smart girl, she gave Harry some information about wizard relationships. Do you think that that's going to help him out with Malfoy? Or will Harry need some more help? Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have ^_~

Goku entered the Hall. His black eyes scanning through the remaining souls that lingered about.

Ron noticed this. "Hey guys look." He gestured toward the doors.

"He looks mad about something," Hermione said.

Harry just ignored them. His mind was elsewhere. He was watching a certain blonde.
