I'm back! Here's the next chapter.
Chapter 2
"So Harry, ready for today?" Mr. Weasley asked as they ate breakfast. Gohan gulped down his food in a rush, while Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Yeah." Harry said nervously. He was lying, obviously. He felt terrified.
"Harry, you'll do fine, as you stay away from FudgeFudge" Gohan smiled.
"They might try to get you expelled as well." Harry said, causing Ginny and the others to look worried.
"I don't think so. Gohan is the only one who can fight Cell. Remove him, and there's nothing to keep Cell from attacking Hogwarts." Piccolo said as he leaned against the wall.
"It's bad enough that public opinion of the Z Fighters has completely gone down." Gohan sighed as he leaned back.
"What? Why?" Harry asked with shock.
"Well… it doesn't help that Cedric got killed, and April as well, under our watch. When the Daily Prophet shows dead kids, it tends to get a reaction. Makes us look like lazy incompetent morons." Gohan stated.
"Not to mention that they state that wherever we go, death follows." Vegeta added with a smile.
"Any luck with the dragonballs?" Harry asked.
"We collected four, but the other three aren't appearing on the radar." Piccolo said.
"We have reason to believe that Voldemort is collecting them as well." Lupin said.
"What for?" Harry asked.
"We believe he wants to become immortal." Piccolo said.
"Whatever Cell wants, we don't know yet. He's already immortal, in a sense. Time certainly can't kill him." Gohan frowned.
"As if I didn't have enough to worry about." Harry groaned.
"Don't worry, Harry. Amelia Bones is in charge of your hearing, and she's fair. She won't be influenced by anyone." Mr. Weasley said.
"Plus, we know her niece, Susan. She's nice." Gohan added.
"Excuse me?" Ginny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"As a friend! She was one of the only Hufflepuffs still friendly with us after the Goblet spit out our names!" Gohan snarled.
"Well excuse me!" Gohan and Ginny quickly burst into argument. Mr. Weasley sighed.
"They'll be at it for awhile. Come on." Mr. Weasley smirked. Harry frowned as he followed him.
"They don't seem like a good couple." Harry frowned. He smirked.
"Oh, they are. Ginny's like her mother. She loves him, but takes issue with a thing or two. Argument's a way of letting out tension. I must admit, I was a bit surprised when they told us a few weeks ago." He smirked as he stopped in front of one of the fireplaces.
"Just step into the fire. I'll be right behind you." Mr. Weasley said as the fire glowed green.
"Good luck!" Videl waved as Harry stepped into the fire. He blinked as he stepped out into an empty room. Mr. Weasley stepped in a minute later..
"Where are we?" Harry asked as he looked around.
"I believe that it's the London Underground." Mr. Weasley smirked as he stepped out of the door, followed by Harry. They found themselves surrounded by a swarm of people heading in all directions.
"This way! I think." Mr. Weasley frowned as he led Harry around several corners, down a flight of stairs, and onto a train. Although, Mr. Weasley did have some difficulty using money to go through. After a short train ride, they came up onto a street.
"This way." Mr. Weasley smirked as he walked down the road. Harry frowned as he followed him. He stopped in front of a booth, and opened it. Harry frowned as he stepped inside.
"Never used the guest service." Mr. Weasley frowned in interest as he pressed several buttons.. Then, the booth rattles and shot down. They stepped out, to find themselves in front of a booth. Mr. Weasley dropped his wand into a slot. Harry frowned as he did the same thing.
"Names?" the booth asked..
"Arthur Weasley and Harry Potter." Mr. Weasley said.
"Matter of business?" a female voice uttered from the booth.
"A hearing. And inspection of my office." Mr. Weasley said.
"Very well. Good day." The voice said as it deposited their wands. Harry smiled as they stepped through the booth and found themselves in a large hallway.
"Halfway down the hall was a fountain. A group of golden statues, larger than life-size, stood in the middle of a circular pool. Tallest of them all was a noble-looking wizard with his wand pointing straight up in the air. Grouped around him were a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin, and a house-elf. The last three were all looking adoringly up at the witch and wizard. Glittering jets of water were flying from the ends of the two wands, the point of the centaur's arrow, the tip of the goblin's hat, and each of the house-elf's ears, so that the tinkling hiss of falling water was added to the pops and cracks of apparators and the clatter of footsteps as hundreds of witches and wizards, most of whom were wearing glum, early-morning looks, strode toward a set of golden gates at the far end of the hall.
"I wish it was like that really, eh?" Mr. Weasley smirked as he looked at Harry. He shrugged.
"Here we are." Mr. Weasley said as they reached a elevator. Then, a bunch of paper airplanes flew above their heads.
"Memos for the Department of Memos. They used to use owls. The mess was unbelievable." Mr. Weasley whispered as it shot down. It seemed to shoot left then right, then straight down. It stopped, suddenly.
"Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Harry frowned as he followed Mr. Weasley. It was full of cubicles, and men and women were working in them all.
"Ah, Kingsley! Any luck on Black?" Mr. Weasley asked. A large black man turned with a smile on his face. Harry frowned. His cubicle was filled with clippings of Sirius.
"Yeah. Somewhere in Tibet, I believe. Although, he may be heading to the States. If he does, I'll inform the American Ministry." Mr. Weasley nodded.
"Come on, Harry." He motioned to Harry. They walked to the elevator again, and shot down.
"Department of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts." A voice announced. It was actually… quite small. Harry frowned as he stepped out. He could imagine why a lot of wizards saw Mr. Weasley as a joke. Then, he motioned towards a chair.
"You can sit here, Harry." He said with a smile. Then, they turned as the door burst open and a man ran in.
"Ahh, Perkins!" Mr. Weasley smirked.
"Oh, Arthur! Thank goodness, I didn't know what to do the best, whether to wait here for you or not. I've just sent an owl to your home but you've obviously missed it - an urgent message came ten minutes ago" Perkins said
"I know about the regurgitating toilet" Mr. Weasely began to say
"No, no, it's not the toilet, it's the Potter boy's hearing - they've changed the time and venue - it starts at eight o'clock now and it's down in the old Courtroom Ten!" Mr. Weasley gaped.
"Come on!" he grabbed Harry and dragged him towards the elevator. Then it flew open, and they stepped in. Only other person in there was a man in a cloak.
The elevator zoomed backwards, down, then left.
"Department of Mysteries." A voice said as they reached the floor.
"You are doing the right thing." They heard as they walked though the hallway.
They saw Fudge and Lucius talking to each other, who stopped talking when they saw Harry and Mr. Weasley. Harry gaped. So, Malfoy had survived the laboratory explosion! Harry gave Lucius a nasty glare before Mr. Weasley gave him a nudge to keep going. Malfoy smiled as he winked and turned his head, allowing Harry to see a nasty scar on the side of his head. It looked like a bad burn. Fudge and Malfoy continued staring as Harry kept walking. Eventually, they reached a big door.
"I can't go in with you." Mr. Weasley said.
"Okay. No problem." Harry said nervously.
"Don't worry, you've done nothing wrong. As the muggles say, truth thoughout." Mr. Weasley said.
"Thanks." Harry said, and then he entered the door.
It was a giant room, filled with witches and wizards, all wearing robes. Harry saw Percy in the group, who wouldn't look at him. The room went silent as Fudge sat in his seat.
BANG BANG BANG! Fudge banged his gravel, making the room go silent.
"Disciplinary hearing for crimes committed by Harry James Potter, resident of 4 Privit Drive. Interrogators, Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Minister of Magic. Scriptwriter, Percy Weasley. Madame Undercetary: Dolores Umbridge." Fudge said.
"Witnesses for the defense!" Dumbledore's voice ran out, causing several wizards to gasp.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore." Dumbledore said as he stood to the left oh Harry.
"Goku Son." Goku said as he stood on the right.
Harry was shocked. Goku looked exactly the way he had been when he had shown up at Hogwarts after the heir's attack on Gohan, except there wasn't a halo over his head.
"Goku?" Fudge said with shock.
"Hello Cornelius. You've gotten older since the last time I saw you. And fatter, apparently." Goku smiled, getting gasps and stares in response. Several people actually chuckled.
"Last time?" Harry thought with surprise.
"Charges?" Dumbledore asked, interrupting the conversation.
"Right… The defendant did knowingly, and in full awarness, produce a disarming spell, in the presence of a muggle." Fudge said, causing several people to mutter.
"Not to mention, seven muggles are dead! Several children, and two police officers!" Fudge added, getting mutters.
"Do you deny producing said spell?" Fudge asked Harry.
"Well… yes… but I didn't kill anyone! Check my wand!" Harry gaped
"Hmph. Seems that death follows you around, Harry." Fudge smirked.
"Out of line, Cornelius!" Amelia Bones snarled. Fudge glared at her.
"I was only doing it because of Cell!" Harry yelled, making the room go silent.
"Cell? In Little Whinging!" Amelia Bones asked with curiosity.
"That's very clever. Muggles still think Cell is deceased. Very convenient." Fudge said.
"I'm not lying, Cell tried to use the killing curse on me, it was self-defense! Then, he tried to blast me to ashes. He killed those muggles!" Harry yelled.
"Enough! I hate to interrupt what I am sure was to be a well rehearsed story, but since you can produce no witnesses of the event." Fudge began to say.
"It just so happens, we can." Dumbledore smiled, causing the wizards to mutter.
"Who?" Fudge demanded.
"A Squib, Arabella Fig. She lives on Privit Drive." Fudge nodded grudgingly.
"Please describe the attack. What did they look like?" A blonde witch asked once Ms. Figg was seated.
"Well, one was large, and the other was rather skinny." She started to say.
"Not the boys, Cell!" Fudge said with impatience.
"Oh right. Well, Cell was a man... at first. Then, he turned into a human insect. Then, he turned into a girl. I still have chills." She said. Several people frowned in confusion
"What happened exactly?" Amelia Bones asked.
"Well, a man walked up to the boys, and turned himself into a human insect. He tried to blow up Potter, but disintegrated the muggle boys instead. Then, the insect creature pulled a black wand out and pointed it at the skinny boy. He then shot a green light at the boy after shouting the words Avada kedavra. The skinny boy yelled something and shot a red light out of his wand. They collided for a few seconds. The boy sent dust flying, and ran" She continued.
"And?" Fudge asked.
"When it cleared, he had taken the fat boy into some bushes. Then, the two creatures took to the air. The insect creature yelled something, and then stormed off while transforming into the girl. She walked up to the arriving police, and killed them both, and then stole the car and drove off, disguised as a police officer." She finished, getting mutteres.
"Now look here. The chances that knew where to attack young Potter are astronomical." Fudge began to say.
"I know Cell and Frieza. They are beings who like to plan things out to their benefit. Frieza used this to control his empire, and Cell used this to achieve his perfect form. They would not do something like this unless they are absolutely sure of their information." Goku said as he walked forward.
"Ahem!" a voice interrupted Goku's statement. He turned to look at a short woman with curly hair.
"I'm sure I must have misunderstood you, Mr. Son. It sounded like you were saying that someone in the Ministry told Cell where to find this young boy." She said.
"That would be very disturbing indeed, Madame undersecretary, which is why I'm sure that the ministry will be conducting a full scale inquiry on how Cell and Frieza came by this information." Dumbledore said.
"In Harry's case, the law clearly states that magic may be used before muggles in life threatening situations." Goku said as he stared at Fudge.
"Laws can be changed, Goku!" Fudge snarled at the smirking saiyan.
"Last I checked, you didn't hold full criminal trials for something as silly as underage magic." Goku smiled.
"We hold it for murder!" Fudge roared.
"I didn't kill anyone!" Harry yelled.
"Those… in favor of conviction." The blond witch said. Fudge and a dozen other people raised their hands.
"Those in favor of clearing the accused of all charges." She Harry's delight, half the room raised their hands. Fudge looked furious.
"Cleared of all charges." He snarled as he banged his gravel. Harry smiled, and sighed with relief.
"Hello, Harry." Goku said as he turned to look at the boy and held his hand out. Harry shook it.
"Goku, what are you doing here, and how are you alive?" Harry asked.
"I'll explain later. Right now, we have to get you back to the others." Goku said.
"Do they even know you're back?" Harry asked as he got up.
"They're about to. It's a surprise!" Goku smiled.
"Hello, Goku." Goku turned to see Percy.
"Hello, Percy." Goku's smile disappeared.
"Seen your son recently?" Percy asked.
"I was just about to go see him now." Goku answered.
"It might be useful to know that he has been dating my sister for quite some time now." Percy replied.
"Really? Little Ginny?" Goku's eyes widened with surprise.
"She's not a little girl anymore. Anyway, I simply thought she should stop dating such a bad influence. After all, he goes though girls like food. And I would be furious if he broke my sister's heart." Percy said.
"My son is not a bad influence." Goku snarled.
"Give my family my regards." Percy turned and walked away.
"What a shame, Percy. I thought you were better than this." Goku said. Percy continued walking away.
"What a shame." Goku sighed as he turned to Harry.
"Well, why are we still here? We have to celebrate the verdict!" Goku grinned, causing Harry to smile.
"Put a hand on my shoulder." Goku smiled as Harry followed his orders. Then, they vanished. They reappeared on the edge of the Lookout. Behind, the figure frowned as he stepped out from the edge of the courtroom and lowered his hood, revealing Gohan.
"Hmph. Welcome back, dad." Gohan chuckled.
The Lookout…
"Remember, a surprise." Goku grinned, and then leaped off the edge.
Smiling, Harry walked into the main building. He was immidiatedly answered by a cheer.
HARRY!
Videl immediately hugged him.
"Congrats, we heard!" Fred and George grinned.
"We knew you could do it." Ron grinned.
"The feast is ready." Dende said as he walked up.
"How did you?" Harry began to ask.
"Dad told us after Dumbledore told him." Ginny smiled. He frowned.
"Wait, where's Gohan?" Harry frowned.
"Right here! Let's eat!" Gohan grinned as he stepped in, hiding the soot on his clothes. Grinning, Harry followed them.
What's next? How will they react when they see Goku? Review!
