Chapter 3: Shopping

A/N: Thanks to an idea I came up with, I'm gonna try and adhere to a monthly update for my fanfics. What that mean is that I'll choose what fics to work on each week and at the end of the month, which chapters I have completed, the fanfics for those chapter will get an update (sometimes a double or a triple update. Hopefully that'll help out alongside The Insanity Corner (which you all should check out, cause that'll be one of the methods that I'll advertise what I got in the works).

Enjoy the fanfic.

Harry sighed angrily as they left the bank, Dumbledore had more or less stolen almost £80,000,000 from Harry's family since his parent's death, and it pissed him off.

"Are you alright Harry?" Chi-Chi asked

"I'm OK" Harry sighed "I'm just tired of that old bastard lying to me"

"What if I told you Harry" Chi-Chi said "That I could offer you both a way to kill Voldermort, and get out from underneath Dumbledore's thumb, that doesn't involve the magical world in any way"

"I'd say tell me more" Harry replied with a grin

"Someone once told me that the most destructive force on earth aside from the Thermo Nuclear Weapon, is magic" Chi-Chi said "I learned seventeen years ago how wrong that is"

"Huh?" Harry asked

"There is a force in the universe" Chi-Chi said as they left Diagon Alley and headed into London "That can surpass magic any day in terms of destructive power…it's called ki"

"Ki?" Harry asked

"Yes" Chi-Chi replied "In the body there are two types of energy that are always present, Ki, life energy, and Chi, magical, or spirit energy"

"OK so ki and chi are separate" Harry said "I understand that, and the amount of each varies from person to person"

"Right" Chi-Chi said "But with training those energies can grow to exponential levels" then after a few moments Chi-Chi asked "Do you believe in aliens Harry?"

"After all the insane things I've seen I'd be stupid to deny the possibility that they exist" Harry said

"What if I told you that there were Aliens on earth right now?" Chi-Chi asked

"I'd ask how you know?" Harry asked

"Roughly 1,000 years ago an alien came to earth from a planet called Namek" Chi-Chi said "His name was Kami"

"Odd name" Harry thought. then as they walked through London Chi-Chi told Harry about Korrin Tower, the Guardian's Lookout and the creation of the Dragonballs.

"If the Dragonballs have been around so long how come the magical world's never heard of them?" Harry asked

"Wizards don't take much interest in the Muggle World, Harry" Chi-Chi said "They never have, and any knowledge of the Dragonballs is limited to about two dozen people in China, and Goku trusted every one of them with his life"

"You said they could bring somebody back to life" Harry said "Why have you never used them to bring Goku back?"

"Because we used them in 1986 to bring him back after he was killed along with his very dangerous Older brother Raditz" Chi-Chi sighed "You see, about thirty six years ago an alien ship crash landed in the mountains of central China…and inside was a baby, probably about six months old…he was found by an old man called Gohan…" then Chi-Chi went about telling Harry about her husband's adventures during his adolescence, the hunt for the Dragonballs, the Red Ribbon Army, the Demon King Piccolo, his three time entry into the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"We got married at the twenty third Tournament" Chi-Chi said with a wistful sigh as they ate lunch at a burger place in London "It was just after I graduated, oh he looked so handsome in that pale bluetuxedo"

"Were my parents there?" Harry asked as he bit into his burger

"No they were getting ready for their own wedding" Chi-Chi replied "But Goku and I made it to Whales for the wedding"

"When did you guys find out Goku wasn't human?" Harry asked

"When Goku's older brother Raditz showed up in 1985" Chi-Chi replied "He wanted to know why Goku hadn't destroyed the earth population yet…as far as I know Raditz took Gohan, and threatened that if Goku didn't kill 100 people in 24 hours, he would take Gohan in his father's place. Goku, along with Piccolo Jr, went after him…nobody really knows what happened in the fight, just that Goku died to take Raditz with him"

"So you used the Dragonballs to bring him back" Harry concluded

"A year later yes" Chi-Chi replied "Goku was doing some kind of training in Otherworld to get his ready for the other two Saiyan's who would be arriving to claim the Dragonballs"

"That's not good" Harry said

"Oh it gets worse" Chi-Chi said "Piccolo decided that he was going to take Gohan into the wilderness for that year to prepare him to fight with the others"

"Why?" Harry asked

"Because despite the fact that he is half the age of the others" Chi-Chi said "Gohan is the most powerful warrior in the universe"

As they finished lunch Chi-Chi skimmed over the events of the next six years of Gohan's life, the battle with the Saiyan's, the journey to Namek, the battles with Frieza and his forces, Garlic Jr. the Androids, and Cell.

"Merlin" Harry whispered "How the hell is he still sane?"

"The only conclusion we've been able to make is that it's because he's part saiyan" Chi-Chi said "It's in his blood to fight"

"And he's willing to help me get ready for Voldermort?" Harry asked, even though he was skeptical that he could do it.

"Don't doubt yourself Harry" Chi-Chi said, as though she had read his mind "Just because you're human doesn't mean you're weak, it's always been my theory that Gohan's magic is the reason he's so powerful" then Chi-Chi looked at Gohan and asked "So are you interested?"

"Of course" Harry said "If it'll help me get Riddle I've got no problem at all" then Harry finished his coke and said "Just give me a few days to settle accounts here and I'll be set"

"Gohan does have a catch however" Chi-Chi said as they stood up and Harry paid the bill.

"Yeah?" Harry asked

"He wants you to help him learn some magic" Chi-Chi said "And he wants you to teach him how to play Quidditch"

"An acceptable price" Harry said "Is Animagi out of the question? I was planning on learning myself. But I do have a request"

"Name it" Chi-Chi smiled

"Just because I'm dumping Dumbledore doesn't mean I'm dumping magic, could you help me get ready for my NEWTs?" Harry asked

"No problem" Chi-Chi said "And Babba can pull a few strings for me to arrange your exams"

"Great" Harry said with a wide smile as they reached the clothes shop Chi-Chi had been looking for.

"Something else?" Chi-Chi asked as they entered the store

"Well…" Harry hesitated "It's about my muggle education. I more or less haven't picked up a Muggle schoolbook in five years, I'm seriously behind"

"If I can get Gohan up to graduating class high school level by the time he's eleven" Chi-Chi said "I think I can get you up to date on British Secondary school"

"Outstanding" Harry said as he picked up some pairs of jeans that he guessed fit him and said "Now all we need to deal with is the Bumblebee man" then he headed for the changing rooms.

Chi-Chi smiled as she picked out some more clothes for Harry.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She was amazed at her Godson, the things she had told him, and the things Harry had seen would drive a normal person insane, but he, like Gohan, had borne the burden that was forced upon him, and borne it well.

A moment later Harry emerged wearing a pair of well fitting black jeans and a dark green t-shirt.

"It looks good" Chi-Chi said "A few more pairs should do and I can charm them to keep fitting you for at least another six inches every way"

"Great" Harry said as he grabbed some clothes he likes, along with two pairs of shoes and some dress clothes for Sirius' will reading.

By the time Harry was done he had 14 pairs of jeans of varying colours, 4 pairs of combats, 14 t-shirts, two hooded sweatshirts, two jumpers, a denim jacket, and the other necessities, along with a pair of running shoes, dress shoes, and comfortable boots, and a pair of black dress trousers and a white button down shirt.

The total came to just of £300 by the time Harry was done. And Harry decided to wear some of his clothes out of the shop.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So Harry and Chi-Chi emerged from the shop carrying several shopping bags and Harry wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a black denim jacket.

"Now you just need to do something about that hair" Chi-Chi said "And get some contact lenses"

"The hair I can take care of myself" Harry replied as he dumped Dudley's old clothes in the bin "But I haven't been to an opticians since I was five"

"We'll go to an opticians in Diagon Alley" Chi-Chi said "And what did you mean you can take care of your hair yourself?"

Looking around him Harry asked "The Notice-Me-Not charm still up?"

"Yes" Chi-Chi nodded "Why?"

In response Harry closed his eyes and began to concentrate.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After a few moments his hair began to shift, and after a few moments Harry's hair began to shorten.

And after a few moments the birds nest that was Harry James Potter hair had changed it was slightly tamer, trim at the side, appearing to have been shaved close to his head at the back and sides, and it was rising in a wave of short sloping spikes towards the back of his head on top.

"Not bad" Chi-Chi said

The problem was that it showed the scar.

"OK for London" Harry said "Not good for Diagon Alley"

"A problem easily remedied" Chi-Chi said as she drew her wand and with a simple flick there was a white cloth bandana wrapped around Harry's forehead, covering the scar.

Harry smiled as he looked at his reflection in the glass of the shop and said "Perfect" then he started back to Charring Cross.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The trip to the Opticians in Diagon Alley was an interesting one, by the time Harry was done he had gotten a new type of liquid contact lens, they were a lot like Mad-Eye Moody's eye from what Harry could guess, and after the eye drops were administered Harry was left with 20:20 vision.

So after buying a pair of sunglasses Harry left the opticians with Chi-Chi, re-tying his bandana as he went, the charms around his eyes were irritating though, they were designed so that Harry couldn't close or rub his eyes for thirty minutes until the potion on his eyes solidified into the contacts.

"Not a bad day's shopping if I do say so" Chi-Chi said as they entered the Leaky Cauldron.

"Nope" Harry said as he took his bags "Meet again this weekend? Or here after the will reading on Monday?"

"I'll see you at the reading" Chi-Chi said "I got a letter this morning, I've been invited"

"Then I'll see you there" Harry said "But we need to…no never mind, I don't give a shit if Dumbledore knows we know each other"

"I'll see you then" Chi-Chi said as she kissed his cheek "Have fun this weekend and write me"

"I will" Harry said as he called Silver and vanished in a flash of blue flame. And Chi-Chi moved towards the floo to head for home.
