Chapter 3: DADP (Defense Against the Dark Prince) part b
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.
~LingXiaoyu: Your question was- What does a) Vegeta no ouji and b) Onna means? a) Vegeta Prince of Saiyans or Prince of Saiyans, and b) Woman. (If anyone has a better definition than mine please let me know by email or leave it in your review ^_~)
~Mistress of goth: Read on and see if your wish comes true ^_~
~Red Kasei: Now, I can't believe that you're grilling me about cliffhangers. I'm still in an uproar over the last chapter of 'Fusion'. I hope you got my review. And yes! That was very evil of me to do so. I get threats all the time from Kewla and Vilranda about cliffhangers. And the teasers are to make everyone want more ^_~ Why couldn't Vegeta read Dumbledore's mind? Dumbledore holds many secrets. So, he maintained barriers.
~PixelGoddess: Thank you once again for the fabulous work! And yes! I do favor Vegeta a little bit more than Goku {smiles} go fig I'm a sucker for bad boys^_~
To all those whose questions that I didn't answer. SPOILER: Nothing bad is going to happen to Vegeta or his baby. Like I said before is *not* an angst fic. So, don't expect any, 'k!
Now enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!
~oOo@oOo~
The air in the Hall was stifling. One could almost imagine that the prince had it in for the Potions teacher. As Snape cast his spell, Vegeta shouted "ENERGY SHIELD!" A soft glowing ball of energy surrounded the royal. Waves of electricity crackled throughout the blue orb.
Everyone stood silently, wondering how in Merlin's name did Vegeta deflect that type of spell.
Vegeta lowered his crossed arms from his face. The shield dissipated. The look on Snape's face was priceless. As quick as lightening Vegeta flew forward, he disappeared right before the professor's eyes and reappeared behind him. In less than a second Vegeta pivoted on one foot and used the other to send Snape flying across the platform. Snape landed face down.
He quickly turned over muttering a spell underneath his breath and outstretching the wand held in his right hand. Vegeta was launched off the platform. He was headed for the stone wall, but he stopped himself in mid- air. The prince turned around and glided back down to his former position.
The staff and students were in shock. Vegeta was holding his own against Professor Snape.
"So you wanna play rough," Vegeta said. His voice showed no emotion whatsoever. "Hn. Good, 'cause I like it rough." His smirk widened even further.
Snape slowly got to his feet watching the smaller male. For the second time that day he saw flashes of gold in the otherwise auburn flame hair.
Every one was quiet as the floor began to rumble. It felt like an earthquake but they knew better. The prince was causing the disturbance. The hanging torches were swinging back and forth. Cracks were starting to form in the stone walls around the Hall from the floor up to the ceiling. The stained glass windows were buckling as well. Everyone was watching Vegeta in mute awe as he powered up.
Remus and Sirius had been told by Dumbledore to expect this, but they just thought that the Headmaster had taken one too many lemon drops.
Waves of golden energy lit up the Hall. Snape was now staring into hard sea green eyes. The Gryffindor Trio noticed the golden tail around Vegeta's narrow waist.
"Harry, this is bad. If Vegeta attacks Snape he could kill him," Hermione whispered.
"No, I don't think that he would do something like that, Mione," he answered.
"Well, I hope you're right," she replied.
Vegeta held out his palm. A golden energy ball formed in his upturned hand. The orb was about the size of a baseball.
The royal smiled and held the glowing sphere up to his face. "Make a wish, Professor." Vegeta blew the ball toward his opponent.
When the ball was halfway to Snape, Vegeta closed his hand into a fist. The ball exploded into tiny fragments. Snape was temporarily stunned from the beautiful display of lights and didn't move until the last minute. He suddenly brought his arms up to block the on coming attack. His robe fanned out around him. The gold sparks struck Snape's clothes with blinding speed filling his black robe with holes.
When the light show was over, Vegeta launched forward, hitting Snape with an open palm strike to the chest. Snape flew through the air off the platform and landed against the far wall. The professor hit the wall with a loud thud and slid down.
Vegeta stood poised from his counter move, waiting to see how much damage he had done to Snape, not noticing another figure behind him.
"VEGETA, LOOK OUT!!!" Goku yelled but it was too late.
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
The royal turned to block the spell but he was hit with full force. Vegeta was thrown back off the platform landing right next to the Potions Master.
Goku rushed over to his unconscious mate. "Oh, Kami! Geta!"
Remus and Sirius went to Severus.
A million emotions were flowing through Goku. He was trying very hard not let his anger take hold. He saw the one who cast the spell, catching Vegeta off guard, and he saw the satisfied look the person's face. Goku was moving on automatic behind the Dark Arts professors. They dismissed the class for the rest of the afternoon.
The Earth-raised Saiyan was sitting next to the bed on which his mate was lying. Vegeta was still unconscious; this was beginning to worry Goku. The hit was child's play compared to being hit with a Ki blast. Vegeta should be awake by now.
Harry was on the other side of the bed with Hermione and Ron, who were holding hands. He was studying his friend. He knew that Goku was holding back from touching Vegeta. Then he noticed the vivid red mark on his friend's neck. Harry grabbed onto his friends and walked out of the room.
"Harry what's wrong?" Hermione asked.
"Did you see it?"
"See what, Harry?" Ron asked, looking from Hermione to Harry.
"The mark. Goku has a mark on the right side of his neck," Harry said.
"But that means that whoever cast that charm is in a crap load of trouble," Ron said.
"Exactly," his best friend said without a doubt.
"Come on then. Let's go back and see what Madam Pomfrey has to say," Hermione said.
The teens walked back into the room. They passed Snape on the way to Vegeta's bed. He looked terrible. This was the first and probably the time they will see their potions teacher in a horizonal postion. They hurried back to Vegeta. They stood at the foot of the prince's bed. Harry looked around them to see Draco standing there as well.
/Why is he here?/ Harry pondered for a moment. /Maybe he's concerned about Vegeta? Yeah, right/ Harry almost snorted. /Hm, maybe he's here to see you/ Harry pondered that for a minute or two. It did seem a little odd that Draco was acting strange.
He noticed on the way to Hogwarts. Draco, uh Malfoy, didn't purposefully seek him out on the train like he usually would do. In fact, Harry didn't see the Slytherin until he was in the Great Hall.
Draco seemed deep in thought, stood across from Harry on the other side of the bed. He was trying his best not to stare. It was hard. He wanted so despressately to go over the Harry talk to him but he really didn't know what he would say.
/For starters, how about: I'm sorry for being a pain the ass all these years, so let's put every thing behind us so we can get together/ Draco pulled a face as his cheeks turns red. Where the hell did that thought come from? Well, he did want to get closer to Harry.
Those perfectly soft pink lips were just begging to be kissed, and those eyes, Draco imagined those bright emerald eyes staring up at him filled with passion after they just. . .What the hell was he thinking? He knew that The-Boy-Who-Lived would not go for dating another guy and a Slytherin at that. He needed to get his mind out of the gutter. Could life get any more freaking complicated?
Harry looked up just in time when Draco's face went all red. He wondered what in the world would have the Malfoy heir in such a state.
~*~*~
Madam Pomfrey was now currently working on the unconscious teacher. She told Remus and Sirius that he was going to be out of commission for a few days.
"Professors, whatever the Prince did to him knocked him out cold. I'm afraid there's nothing else that I can do," she said, after healing Snape's most obvious injuries.
What had shocked Pomfrey the most was when she found three broken ribs as well as two cracked ones. The biggest shock of all was that someone, a Muggle no less, was able to do that much damage to the mean and hateful Potions teacher. She secretively smiled nonetheless; it was about time that some wind was knocked out of his sails.
The medi-witch gathered her supplies and headed over to her second patient with the other two teachers in tow. She was surprised to see not only the prince's friend but also the Trio and the Slytherin blonde.
She immediately placed her potions down on a nearby tray. Pomfrey stood with her hands poised over Vegeta. She slowly moved upward starting at his feet. So far she found nothing. No bruises. No broken bones. Not even a pulled muscle, but as she passed over his stomach she felt something.
Pomfrey wasn't sure what it was and continued until she was finished with her initial exam. Everyone around her remained quiet.
They didn't want to disturb the again medi-witch from performing her duty. Pomfrey glided her hands back over the prince's stomach. There! She felt it again. She grabbed her wand and waved it over the spot where she felt the twinge.
Two colorful spheres emerged from the wand. A royal blue and a bright orange danced around each other swirling over the prince. The colors slowed and drifted toward each other merging together. The blue orb was enclosed in the orange one.
They pulsed a few times before a blinding white light appeared, warming the people around, it then it faded into thin air.
Pomfrey dropped her wand. It clanked on the cool white tile. Her eyes went wide and her hand was over her mouth to keep her from scaring the others around the bed. Goku didn't see her reaction. He was too busy looking at his lover.
As much as he wanted to hold Vegeta's hand, he couldn't. As a royal, Vegeta was not allowed the simple pleasures of being consoled publicly, that gesture only was a sign of weakness. The only form of contact that was allowed was the interacting of tails, but Goku was too far-gone with worry. He wasn't even thinking clearly to wrap his tail around his mate's wrist.
"Madam Pomfrey? What's wrong with him?" Harry asked.
"He. . .He's uh fine," She answered.
Well, that didn't make any sense. The teens and professors were confused. If every thing was okay then why did she react like that?
"Um, Mr. Son?" Pomfrey's voice was shaky.
Goku turned sad onyx orbs to her. The witch's heart ached from the sadness of the black inky depths. She didn't know if he wanted her to say anything in front of the others.
"It's okay. You can go ahead and say it. I trust them." Goku answered her unspoken question.
"His body is healing on its own. Anything that I would've done would only have slowed down the healing process." Pomfrey paused, letting herself calm before she continued. "Mr. Son, why didn't you tell me that he's. . .he's. . "
She was struggling with the words, but Goku caught on. "Vegeta is very private. He didn't want anyone to know. Besides, we weren't sure how any of you feel about it."
"Know what?" Harry asked concerned for his friend.
"That Mr. Son and Prince Vegeta are mates."
Everyone turned at the sound of Dumbledore's voice. "But Professor, you said that Goku is his consort," Harry said.
"Yes, indeed I did Mr. Potter. 'Consort' has many different meanings. Mr. Son is Prince Vegeta's companion, but on a more adult level." Dumbledore's eyes sparkled. "And I also warned everyone to be leery of them as well. Saiyans are extremely dangerous when it concerns the well-being of their mates."
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"I will let Mr. Son explain that bit of information to you. Until then I will see you all at dinner. If you will excuse me I need to converse with Madame Pomfrey in private."
The medi-witch and Headmaster departed. All eyes turned back to the large Saiyan waiting for him to talk. It was going to be a very long night.
~ TBC ~
A/N: Well, what is Goku going to tell his friends? Did Vegeta kick Snape's butt or what? I think so but who in world attacked him. Goku is not happy about that, do you think he's gonna go after the person? I'm on pins and needles wanting to know. Stay tuned for more. Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have ^_~

The Great Hall was silent. Draco stood to leave. He wasn't going to interfere with what was about to happen.
"DRACO!"
The tall teen turned quickly to the pair. "I warned you. Now, because of your stupid mistake you could have very well doomed all of Slytherin." With that as his parting words the silver eyed blonde left.
