Hey, it's me! Here's the will! Review!
Chapter 9
It took some squeezing, but Gohan, Kiara, Harry, Ron, and Hermione managed to fit onto a couch in the Weasleys's living room, while the Minister conjured up a chair and sat in front of them.
"Okay, so what is this all about?" Gohan asked.
"Very well. I am here, as I'm sure you know, because of Albus Dumbledore's will." The minister answered. Gohan and the others were speechless.
"A surprise, apparently! You were not aware then that Dumbledore had left you anything?" the minister asked.
"Wait, it's been over a month since Dumbledore died. Why are we getting this now?" Harry asked. Kiara looked like she was about to ask the same question.
"Isn't it obvious? They wanted to examine whatever he's left us. You had no right to do that!" Hermione growled.
""I had every right. The Decree for Justifiable Confiscation gives the Ministry the power to confiscate the contents of a will-" The Minister began to say.
"That law was created to stop wizards passing on Dark artifacts, and the Ministry is supposed to have powerful evidence that the deceased's possessions are illegal before seizing them! Are you telling me that you thought Dumbledore was trying to pass us something cursed? Come on, surely you know better than that." Gohan smirked as he crossed his arms.
"Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Mr. Son?" The minister asked as he looked at Gohan.
"As a matter of fact, I was planning to become Minister myself one day." Gohan calmly smirked.
"Gohan, you idiot!" Harry slapped his face in embarrassment, while Ron and Hermione gaped at what Gohan had said.
"That's my half-brother." Kiara muttered in embarrassment.
"Ah yes, I recall that Dolores mentioned that when you took your OWLs. I could put in a good word for you for the Auror department. Same to you, Mr. Potter." Scrimhoulger smiled.
"Are you going to give us what Dumbledore left us or give us job offers?" Ron spoke up.
"Very well, Mr. Weasley." The Minister sighed as he flicked his wand, causing a piece of paper to slide out of his handbag and unfold.
"To Kiara Videl Son. I leave to you memories of your family's past, as an apology for separating you from your biological father, all those years ago." The minister pulled a fat book out of his pocket and handed to Kiara. She opened it, and gasped. Gohan looked over her shoulder and gaped. On the first page was a color picture of Teen Goku holding a baby girl with black hair and a brown tail, who was reaching towards Goku's hair. She grabbed it, causing Teen Goku to yelp. Then, a woman that he instantly recognized as Veronica ran into the picture and tried to get baby Kiara to let go of Goku's hair.
"M-mum." Kiara whimpered as her eyes watered. Harry gave the minister a look that would have made both King Vegeta and Vegeta proud. The minister ignored Harry and continued reading.
"To Ronald Bilius Weasley, I leave my Deluminator, in the hope that he will remember me when he uses it." Scrimgeour continued. Then, he pulled out a rectangular device that looked like a lighter and handed it to Ron, who took it carefully and looked at it with confusion.
"That is a valuable object. It may even be unique. Certainly it is of Dumbledore's own design. Why would he have left you an item so rare? Dumbledore must have taught thousands of students, yet the only ones he remembered in his will are you three. Why is that? To what use did he think you would put to the Deluminator, Mr. Weasley?" Scrimgeour asked Ron.
"Put out lights, I s'pose. What else could I do with it?" Ron asked as he clicked it. Then, the lights in the room turned off, causing several yellow balls to fly into the Deluminator. Then, Ron clicked it again, causing the lights to fly back into the lamps.
"To Miss Hermione Jean Granger, I leave my copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in the hope that she will find it entertaining and instructive." Scrimgeour said as he pulled a book out of the handbag and handed it to Hermione.
"Hey, I remember that book! Trunks and Goten loved the stories in it!" Gohan grinned
"Why do you think Dumbledore left you that book, Miss Granger?" Scrimhouger asked.
"He… He knew I liked books." Hermione answered as her eyes watered.
"But why that particular book? Did you ever discuss codes, or any means of passing secret messages, with Dumbledore?" Scrimhoulger asked.
"What is this, Mission Impossible? Hermione and Dumbledore were never alone together!" Gohan sweatdropped. Scrimgouger gave Gohan a glare before continuing.
"To Harry James Potter, I leave the Snitch he caught in his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts, as a reminder of the rewards of perseverance and skill." Gohan's eyes widened as Scrimgouger pulled out the Snitch and handed it to Harry. Gohan noticed that the Minister looked disappointed, as if he expected something to happen.
"So that's the Snitch that he almost swallowed?" Gohan wondered. He recalled the story that Hermione had told him about Harry's first Quidditch match.
"I noticed that your birthday cake is in the shape of a Snitch. Why is that?" Gohan snapped back to reality. He had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he had missed what everyone had been saying.
"Oh, it can't be a reference to the fact Harry's a great Seeker, that's way too obvious. There must be a secret message from Dumbledore hidden in the icing!" Hermione scoffed. Gohan smirked. Hermione could be a badass when she wanted to. He had seen this side of Hermione before, such as when she had punched Draco in the face during third year. He strongly suspected that she had a hidden power similar to his. Gohan gulped as the Minister looked at him. Finally, it was his turn.
To Gohan Einstein Son (Gohan blushed red and covered his face in embarrassment as Harry and Ron tried to hide grins. He had never told anyone his middle name.)
"I leave the Sword of Gryffindor to you, in the hopes that it will help you sharpen your skills." ( I couldn't think of something for Gohan, ok? I have a horrible sense when it comes to originality.) Gohan noticed that the handbag didn't appear to contain the sword.
"So… where is it?" Gohan asked.
"Unfortunately, that sword was not Dumbledore's to give away, it belongs to." Scrimhouger began to say.
"Gohan used it to kill the Basalisk. He deserves it!" Hermione interrupted.
"Well, Harry was the one who pulled it from the hat, not me." Gohan feebly spoke up.
"Mr. Son is correct. According to reliable historical sources, the sword may present itself to any worthy Gryffindor. That does not make it the exclusive property of Mr. Son, whatever Dumbledore may have decided. Why do you think-?" Scrimhouger said.
"Dumbledore wanted to give me the sword? Maybe he thought, since Future Trunks used his sword to kill Frieza, and Pan used a sword to kill Cell Junior, I could use the sword to help me train?" Gohan asked. Harry looked at him when he mentioned Pan, as well as Ron, Hermione, and Kiara. They all knew that the Sword of Gryffindor was in Ginny's room, where Pan had left it.
"This is not a joke, Mr. Son! Why do you think Dumbledore would have left you such an important artifact? Did he think that the sword held key to the defeat of Cell and you-know-who?" Scrimhouger's voice rose.
"Interesting theory. Has anyone ever tried sticking a sword in Voldemort or Cell? Maybe the Ministry should put some people onto that, instead of wasting their time stripping down Deluminators or covering up breakouts from Azkaban...People are dying – I was nearly one of them – Broly chased me across three counties and nearly killed me, and Voldemort killed Mad-Eye Moody, but there's no word about any of that from the Ministry, has there? And you still expect us to cooperate with you! You're more stupid than my dad!" Gohan laughed.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Scrimgouer was instantly on his feet and jabbed his wand into Gohan's gi, causing the cloth to burn.
"Minister, I have fought evil monsters since I was five, and if you read the Japanese version, three. I've seen people murdered in cold blood and been on a planet about to explode. You. Are. Nothing." Gohan was eye to eye with the minister. Then, Piccolo and Vegeta rushed into the room and took in the scene, followed by Goku.
"Minister, I'd rather sell my soul to the devil than support you." Gohan smirked. Without a word, the Minister strode past Piccolo and Vegeta through the door, barely giving Goku a glance.
"He's gone!" Goku said after a minute.
"That was… weird." Harry sighed.
"What was all that about?" Piccolo asked. With a sigh, Gohan told Piccolo about the will.
"Ministry bastards." Vegeta growled when Gohan had finished.
"It was the same in my time." Everyone turned to see Pan at the door.
"Oh, Pan! While you're here, can you show us the Sword of Gryffindor?" Gohan asked.
"Okay. Give me a second." Pan ran up the stairs, and ran back down a minute later with her sword in its stealth.
"Here it is." Pan pulled out the sword by its handle and tossed it to Gohan, who caught it by the handle. Sure enough, the name Godric Gryffindor was inscribed in the metal
"Well, it looks like the real thing." Gohan muttered as he looked the handle up and down.
"That is the real sword of Gryffindor." Piccolo said, causing everyone to look at him.
"How can you tell, Namek?" Vegeta asked as he looked at the blade.
"Goblin made metal is different from wizard metal. I believe Nameks are one of the only species besides Goblins that can tell the difference. So, how exactly did you acquire this sword, Pan?" Piccolo asked as he looked at the blade.
'Like I said, I was fighting Evil Videl at Hogwarts, and we had crashed into the Headmaster's office… Pan started.
"Stupify!" Pan yelled as the red light shot from her wand.
"Idiot." Evil Videl's head went to the side, causing the red blast to crash into the wall.
"You're as big a fool as your father. Expeliamus!" Pan's wand flew from her hand and clattered across the room.
"Now, what should I do? Kill you now or hand you over to the dementors?" Pan's eyes widened in fear.
"Who am I kidding? Avada Kedavra!" Pan leaped out of the way just in time, and leaped to her feet. The killing curse hit a shelf, causing several things to crash to the ground, including the Sorting Hat.
'It's time for you to die!" At that moment, Pan leaped past Evil Videl and wildly reached out for her wand. But then, Evil Videl blasted Pan, causing her to skiddle to the edge of the tower! She opened her eyes to see Evil Videl's wand in her face!
"Say hello to your father for me!" at that last second, Pan's hand found the Sorting Hat, and felt something solid. Then, she swung!
SLICE! She opened her eyes to see a crimson stain appearing on Evil videl's uniform.
"I… don't… believe… it." Then, Evil Videl tumbled past Pan and fell off the tower. Still shaking, Pan looked over the edge to see Evil Videl eagle spread on the ground in a little crimson puddle. Without thinking, she grabbed her wand and shot out of the tower. When Hogwarts was out of view, she looked at the sword.
"Wow. Uncle Goten's gonna freak." Pan sweatdropped. Then, she vanished into the distance.
"Wow." Harry gaped when Pan had finished.
"Where the bloody hell was Snape while all this was going on?" Gohan asked.
"It was a Hogsmeade weekend. Everyone wanted to get out of Hogwarts. If it wasn't for that sword, I probably would have been the one at the bottom of the tower." Pan sighed.
"There you are!" Everyone turned to see Mrs. Weasley and Chi-Chi enter the living room.
"How's Bill?" Ron asked.
"We got the makeup off, and Trunks and Goten are hiding somewhere. But down to buisness! We need to get you fitted for a dress, young lady." Chi-Chi glared at Pan.
"WHAT?" Pan screamed as her cheeks turned red.
"Oh yes, young lady. You're not attending my son's wedding dressed like a tramp." Mrs. Weasley crossed her arms.
"TRAMP?" Pan screamed while Gohan, Harry, and Ron were trying to contain their laughter.
"You're coming with us, young lady. And we're going to do something about that hair…" Chi-Chi continued as they dragged Pan off.
"Poor Pan." Gohan sighed.
"Yeah mate, no one messes with our mums." Ron groaned.
Cool, right? Review!
