Chapter 2: Z Warriors at Hogwarts

Harry was glad to get back to Hogwarts. It gave him about nine months away from the Dursleys. That would be nine months away from constantly trying to keep away from Dudley. Nine months without Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia ordering him about and putting him down.

Now, Harry had to worry about being ordered around by Professor Snape.

Harry sat at the Gryffindor Table, in the Great Hall. The Sorting Ceremony was over, and the feast had begun. His best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, sat on either side of him, and the other Gryffindors were around them. The Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins sat at their own tables.

"Everyone!" Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, shouted to get their attention. When the students were turned toward him and listening, he continued. "We have with us this year --under very unusual circumstances-- a very special group of Muggles."

At the word, "muggles" --which were non-wizarding people-- there was gasps of astonishment and a buzz of questions. Harry stole a glance at Draco Malfoy, to check his reaction. The blonde Slytherin looked disgusted at the thought of muggles in Hogwarts.

He's probablythinking that "mudbloods" were bad enough; thought Harry. Now, we have to worry about muggles, too. Of course that would be what Draco would be thinking. For his part, Harry never used the term, "mudblood", for it was an insult, meaning "dirty blood". Only the so-called "pure-bloods" --like the Malfoys-- thought of the muggle-borns and half-and-half-borns in that way.

"These muggles have the ability to detect energy, like the kind given off by living things. This includes magical energy. We would not be able to hide Hogwarts from these muggles, no matter how much we would want to. Because of their own high energy, none of the anti-muggle charms works on them, either. It is most fortunate, then, that these muggles are friendly muggles. Why they are here will be revealed in time. For now, please welcome them as guests to Hogwarts."

When Dumbledore finished speaking, seven figures came into the Great Hall. Two large young men, a smaller man, two young women, and two small boys. A group that looked very familiar to Harry.

"Goten?" Harry whispered aloud when he saw the black-haired boy. "Trunks?"

"You know them?" Ron asked, surprised. Harry nodded.

"I met them a couple of weeks ago," he answered. "The black-haired woman? Her name is ChiChi, and she's Goten's mother. She saved me from Dudley and gave him a spanking."

"His first, I bet," Hermione said. Harry nodded again.

"Harry!" Goten called happily, waving to his newest friend. Trunks looked over and grinned, also waving. Harry waved back.

"Harry?" ChiChi asked in astonishment. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm a wizard," he answered.

"You are?" Krillin's eyes went wide. Harry nodded.

"It appears that one of us is already acquainted with our visitors," Dumbledore smiled.

"Yes, sir," Harry answered. "I met them during the summer."

"Then perhaps you would like to introduce your friends to the rest of Hogwarts."

Harry looked over to Goku and the others. They smiled and nodded. Harry smiled back, and then cleared his throat.

"This is Goku, his wife, ChiChi, and their son, Goten. Over here is Vegeta, his wife, Bulma, and their son, Trunks. And this is Krillin."

The introduction had been simple, and without pretensions. He did not elaborate on how he knew them, or what had happened that had caused the meeting. Only the few at the Gryffindor Table that had been within earshot of his conversation with Hermione and Ron knew how Harry had met these strange muggles.

"Harry," Goten asked. "What's a 'muggle'?"

"Muggles are non-wizards," Harry explained. "Nothing to take offence at."

"Oh," Goten said. "Well, we definitely count as muggles, then. Even if we do have powers of our own!"

"Goten!" ChiChi scolded.

The students stared at their visitors in confusion. Powers? These muggles had powers?

"We will learn about our visitors in the months to come," Dumbledore told the wizards and witches of Hogwarts. "And they will learn about us, as well."

"We're looking forward to it, sir," Goku replied. Dumbledore smiled and nodded.

"We invite you now to join us in our feast," the old wizard said, gesturing with his hand at the tables laden with food.

"Thanks," the friendly, young Saiyan grinned. He looked over the tables, trying to find a seat.

There was never such a competition for anything --other than perhaps, the House Cup-- between the four Hogwarts Houses. The Z Warriors looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Goku and ChiChi sat down at Gryffindor, while Goten and Trunks sat with Harry --without coming between him, Hermione, and Ron. Krillin moved to sit with Hufflepuff, while Vegeta and Bulma got a seat with Ravenclaw. The Slytherins looked disappointed that none of them sat with them, but at least Vegeta and Bulma sat on the side of the Ravenclaw Table nearest the Slytherins.

The wizards and witches soon found out about Goku's appetite. His extremely HUGE appetite. ChiChi just sighed and shrugged, as if to say, "He's like this all the time!"

*~*~*

After the feast, they had to decide where the visitors would stay. Fortunely, there were some guest rooms in the castle, enough for both families and Krillin to have their own rooms. Goku and Trunks asked if they could stay with Harry and his friends.

"If that won't be any trouble," Bulma put in, "I wouldn't mind Trunks staying with Harry."

"Same with Goten," ChiChi added. Goku smiled and nodded, while Vegeta just grunted.

"I don't see why not," Dumbledore answered. "If Professor McGonagall deems it alright." He looked over to the Transfiguration teacher. Professor McGonagall was also head of Gryffindor House, where Harry, Hermione, and Ron were.

"Well, it's unusual to have anyone other than students staying in the Houses," the woman in green said. "But, as long as they behave themselves, they may stay in the Gryffindor House."

While Madam Hooch showed the parents and Krillin to their rooms, Percy led the Gryffindors to Gryffindor Tower, Goten and Trunks following along. They went up many staircases, some of which --the Saiyan boys' surprise-- moved and changed at spots. What was even stranger was that the paintings along the walls spoke to them, welcoming the students to Hogwarts and to Gryffindor Tower.

Soon, they came to a large painting of a fat lady in pink. She spoke only one word, and waited for Percy to answer.

"Password?"

"Bumblebuzz."

The lady bowed graciously, then allowed the door to Gryffindor Tower to open. The students piled into the Gryffindor Common Room, where Percy showed them were they would sleep.

Goten and Trunks followed Harry, Ron, and the other Gryffindor boys up to the dorm. There, they found a couple of extra beds in which to sleep. Tomorrow, they would begin their studies in earnest. Goten and Trunks would be with their parents and Krillin, touring Hogwarts. The lucky students who gets to show them around gets out of class, if only temporarily. Harry hoped he got to lead them during Potions class. Anything to postpone his class with Professor Snape.

With those thoughts, Harry drifted off to sleep.
