Now enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!

oOoOoOo

Morning came too soon for the weary Saiyan males. Vegeta and Goku lay on the dewy grass in a tangled mess of limbs and tails. The pull of the moon was stronger here than at home. Vegeta figured that it was because of the magic that surrounded them. There was no way possible for them to resist the call. Had they stayed in the Great Hall a minute longer they would have destroyed the building.

They quickly dressed and made their way back to the castle. Fortunately, Goku had removed his clothes before he had transformed or else he would be walking on the school grounds naked. Vegeta was just thankful that his body suit was the super stretch material that expanded to fit him in his Oozaru state.

It was a little after six o’clock and the students were still sleeping, which they were thankful for because they were not sure if they could explain the they were out in the middle of the field so early in the morning. Not that it was anyone’s business of course.

Once they reached the entrance of the castle closet to by Hagrid’s house they were greeted by none other than Professor Snape.

“Forgive me if I do not properly address you.”

Vegeta made no comment and continued to walk. Something didn’t feel quite right with this guy.

“Um, is there something that we can help you with?” Goku asked. He was feeling the uneasiness flowing from his mate.

“Professor Dumbledore has asked me to show you your rooms.”

“Rooms?” Vegeta stopped to look at the teacher.

“Yes, you, Mr. Son, will be residing in the Gryffindor tower. Your companion will be in the Slytherin tower,” Snape said.

They were standing in the middle of the open corridor.

“There must be a mistake. Vegeta and I cannot be separated,” Goku replied. His dark eyes took on a dangerous glint.

“Really and why is that?”

“I don’t know if you know anything about Saiyans, Professor Snape, but let the truth be told when I say it wouldn’t be in the best interest of the students to keep us apart,” Goku warned.

Snape casually pushed his hair away from his face. He didn’t like being intimidated by Muggles. “Apparently, Mr. Son you and your friend know nothing about us. Why would the students be afraid of someone who posses no magic whatsoever?”

This time Vegeta spoke. “Because you grease ball your students are not well trained at defending themselves even if they are well equipped with defense spells. We could rip out their throats out before they could utter one single word.”

Snape was used to the insults from the students and some of the teachers but he would be damned if he was going to be spoken to like this by Muggles. He whipped out his wand and pointed it directly the royal.

The Potions teacher was about to mutter a curse when he heard a deep guttural growl. Within seconds Snape found himself thrown against the stone wall looking into hard ink well eyes.

“I’m only going to warn you once, Snape. I will kill you the next time you try to harm my family in any way.” Goku’s hair flashed a brilliant gold and his eyes a teal green.

Snape’s eyes widened in shock as he saw the change in color. Since Goku had him hoisted off the ground by his neck he could only get out one word. “Family?”

“Hai. Vegeta is my mate and I will do *anything* to protect him,” Goku said letting go of the taller male.

Snape stood on shaky legs. How could anyone move that fast? No human could move that quickly, but he knew from the wild look in the other man’s eyes that he would carry out his threat. However, the Potions Master didn’t realize that he got off easy.

The two males left the teacher in the walkway on their way to talk with the Headmaster. Snape stared after them. He noticed something move from around Goku’s waist and looped itself around Vegeta’s right wrist. To the professor it looked like a tail of some kind, but he dismissed the thought for later.

Snape never felt so scared in his life. The type of fear that those two commanded was something that could rival Lord Voldemort.

oOoOoOo

Right before breakfast Harry received a message from Dumbledore asking him to come to his office immediately. Ron and Hermione gave their friend a worried look. It was still early and they were the only ones that were up and about.

“I’m quite sure that it’s nothing to worry about Harry,” Hermione said trying to offer some comfort.

“Maybe it’s You-Know-Who,” Ron whispered.

Harry’s heart leaped into his throat. God, he hoped it wasn’t about Voldemort. He had other things to worry about, namely one Draco Malfoy.

“No, I don’t think that it’s him. My scar hasn’t been hurting for some time and that’s how I like it. Anyway, I hope that it doesn’t take too long. I’ll see you guys at breakfast.”

Harry left his friends dreading his meeting with Dumbledore. He was deep in thought when he bumped into the one person that he least expected.

“WATCH IT POTTER!”

“Maybe you should Malfoy!” Harry spat wishing to God that this was anyone else. Hell, he would even settle for Snape and serving detention. Of late, Harry had been trying to avoid the Slytherin blonde.

“Hey, Harry are you all right?” Draco asked. He noticed how pale the Gryffindor had become.

“Uh, yeah. I’m fine,” Harry answered hesitantly. “I’m sorry for bumping into you Draco.”

Neither one said anything more, not realizing that they had used their first names. The two rivals stared at each other, losing themselves in the fiery depths of their eyes. Before they could make out what they were feeling a voice cut through.

“Hi Harry,” the cherry voice greeted.

“Hello Goku. Vegeta.” Harry nodded toward the prince.

“Uh, who’s your friend?” Goku asked.

“Well, uh... he’s uh...” Harry couldn’t think at the moment. His cheeks were staining a light pink and he felt his head swimming. He didn’t know how to answer the question. Were he and Draco friends?

Draco noticed Harry’s speech problem. He raised an eyebrow, at him then answered for him. “Malfoy. Draco Malfoy,” the Slytherin said before walking off.

Goku watched the retreating back of the other teen before turning his attention back to Harry.

“We’re on our way to see Dumbledore.”

“Really? So am I,”

“Hey, we can walk together,” Goku offered.

“Go ahead without me, Kakarott. I’ll join you shortly,” Vegeta said, fwingwing after Malfoy.

oOoOoOo

The matter about Vegeta and Goku having separate rooms was cleared up. They would be staying in the tower between Slytherin and Gryffindor, a neutral zone of sorts.

Harry was quietly eating his meal picking at his food. He really didn’t know what to say about the situation. Dumbledore had relocated him to stay with Goku and Vegeta. He didn’t have a problem with that. Nope, the problem he was having was that Draco got relocated along side him. The Malfoy heir missed the meeting though he didn’t understand why, but he imagined that he would find out later who his new dorm mates would be.

Harry still didn’t know how to break the news to Ron and Hermione. He’d just wait until the right time to inform them. After eating all that he could eat until dinner, Harry pulled out his book. He turned to the lahapthapter that he was reading from last night: Oozaru.

~~This form takes place under the light of a full moon...

“Harry what’s that you’re reading?” Hermione asked.

His friend broke through his thoughts as he was beginning to get into the chapter. “Um, it’s a book that I found in the library about Saiyans.” He handed her the thick book.

Hermione flipped it opened to the page that was marked and began reading.

~~This form takes place under the light of a full moon and will last until the first light of day. Usually, in this form Saiyans cause more destruction than in their regular form. A great amount of concentration is needed to prevent the transformation from occurring but once the process has started there is no way possible to stop it.

Most planetary conquest by Saiyans would not have been possible if it was not for the development of the artificial moon as known as the Moon Sphere. The sphere was develop by leading Saiyan scientist, Bardock. The project was approved by King Vegeta. The reason for the Moon Sphere was that some planets did not have moons. However, if the planet did, the passing of a full moon would be too far away for the transformation to take place and for the required time to take over the planet.

The Moon Sphere also allowed Saiyans to transform at any given time.

Caution is advised with a mated pair while in this form especially if the submissive mate is pregnant.

The dominant mate becomes more aggressive and the submissive mate’s maternal instincts become heightened, which can cause the sudden need to transform if their anger level cannot be controlled.

While in their human-like form the mated pair is very possessive and protective of each other. If the dominant mate feels that his or her mate’s life is threatened he/she will eliminate the threat, making the dominant mate very dangerous (please refer to Mating Ritual chapter regarding possession)

If at any time during adulthood that the tail is sed thd the transformation will not occur. However, the appendage can regenerate itself under special circumstances. If the Saiyan in question has not been claimed his/her tail can grow back by mating. Also, if the Saiyan in question has mated, the regrowth can occur under a full moon during a heat cycle...~~~

Hermione quickly flipped through to the table of contents and found what she was looking for. She opened to another page. It was a picture of the Royal family. In the le wle was a lovely young woman with long jet-black hair seated in what seemed to be a throne with a high back. She was wearing a blue gown. Off to her right was a tall man.

His hair was reddish-black that resembled a roaring fire and had a goatee of the same color. He was wearing a blue spandex bodysuit with white gloves and gold tipped boots. The outfit was completed by white body armor with gold trim and red and black cape clasped at the shoulders. Dangling from his neck was a pendant. To the left of the woman was a small boy who bore a striking resemblance to the man.

Underneath the picture it read: (from left to right: King Vegeta, Queen Yasai, and Prince Vegeta). Hermione turned back to the page she was reading and saw the picture of the scientist and his family. The Gryffindor studied the photo.

An infant with black spiky hair was sitting on the floor wearinthinthing but a diaper. Next to the infant was a teenager with long, wild, black spiky hair. He wore body armor and a short spandex suit. Another tall male also had black spiky hair. He was wearing a black body suit. His armor was white with green trim, but it was different from the other suits of armor, as it was of a vest type of style. He was wearing green gauntlets and matching leg guards. A scar was on the left side of his face indicating that he was a warrior as well. Underneath the picture it read: (from left to right to right: Kakarott, Bardock (center), and Raditz).

“Oh my goodness Harry!” Hermione exclaimed. “Do you know who this is?” She flipped back and forth in the book pointing to the little boy from the royal family and pointing to the infant with the scientist.

After hearing her comment Ron got up to inspect the photographs as well. Both teens gasped as realization took them by storm.

Harry looked-up toward the teacher’s table at the two new faces then he looked back down again. “Hermione, that looks just like Vegeta,” he said, pointing to King Vegeta’s picture.

“No, Harry, that is Vegeta. Only younger and this is Goku,” Hermione stated.

“Hold on. If that’s him then why does he look so much like him?” Harry asked pointing a slender digit to the older male royal.

“He must have very strong genes.”

“Yeah, look at the other picture. You would swear that that Bardock guy looks exactly like Goku,” Ron said.

The other two nodded their head in agreement.

“Harry, obvio som someone put this book in the library for you to find.”

“But who would do that and why?” Harry asked.

“Don’t know. What have you learned so far?” Hermione questioned.

Harry gave the question some thought before answering. “They are a very proud race for one. The most interesting fact is their mating habits. It seems that a male can mate with either another male or with a female but never two females.”

“That’s funny,” Hermione started.

“Why you say that, Mione?” Ron asked.

“It’s that same for us.”

“WHAT???” Ron and Harry nearly shouted gaining some attention.

“If you ever pay attention in class you both would know this. In the wizarding world in order to continue the bloodline of any family a male and female can join together as well as two males but never two females,” Hermione explained.

This was something that caught Harry’s iest.est. His main concern was that if anything become of him and Draco that they would never be able to have any children. Now, his prayers where answered. Harry could have the home life that he had always dreamed about.

Someone to love him just as much as he would love them, but his thoughts took on a realistic view. Draco would never want to be with another guy, let alone him. Life was just so unfair.

“But that’s not what I’m worried about,” Hermione continued pulling Harry back to the present.

“No?” Ron said looking puzzled.

“No, the real worry is that Goku and Vegeta can transform into this,” Hermione said showing the boys a picture of a giant ape with red glowing eyes and razor sharp teeth. “Remember last night how they were trying to leave the Hall in a hurry?”

Ron and Harry nodded their heads.

“I think that is what we heard on our way back to the dorms.”

“No way,” Ron said.

“Well, there’s only one way to find out,” Harry said closing the book.

Ron and Hermione knew exactly what he was talking about. It was time to dust off the invisibility cloak.

oOoOoOo

Goku decided that his prince needed to get ou the the castle for a while. He had asked for permission to go somewhere they could workout. He did inform Dumbledore that they needed plenty of room.

“Geta, try to take it easy, okay,” Goku said.

“Hn, You’re just worried that I’ll kick your butt,” Vegeta replied.

The Saiyans were standing in the middle of the pitch. Ron and Hermione had a free class period and were hanging out in the bleachers waiting for Harry to show up. They spotted the couple on the field.

“Hey, Mione, look down there. What do you think they are up to?” Ron asked.

“Not a clue but I you ask me...” Hermione was cut off when they heard a loud boom.

The Gryffindors looked on the field to see Goku stretched out on the soft grass with Vegeta standing over him. They were about to rush down there to make sure that Goku was all right but the large male stood patting the dirt and grass off his pants.

“Hey guys what’s going on?” Harry just showed up in time to witness the sceown own below. He was watching the two males with interest.

“We’re not even sure ourselves, Harry. We heard a loud boom and Goku like looked he was thrown clear across the field,” Hermione explained.

The Gryffindors turned their attention back to the Saiyans.

“I’m surprised that you let me get a good hit in, Kakarott,” Vegeta said smirking.

“Well, I was day dreaming about something.”

The prince raised an eyebrow. “About what?”

Goku grinned never took his eyes off his lover. His black tail came from around his waist and looped itself around Vegeta’s pulling him closer. He bent down crushing his lips to his mate’s. Goku traced his tongue along Vegeta’s bottom lip. The prince granted the larger Saiyan access. Vegeta arched into Goku grinding himself against his semi-hard member.

They pulled apart slightly taking in some air. They stared into mirrored windows. They could hear the startled gasps coming from stands.

“Let’s go before we really give them something to talk about,” Goku said, as he placed two fingers against his forehead picturing their dorm room and ITing there.

The Golden Trio stared at the empty field in disbelief. “How could to do that? No one can apparate on school grounds,” Ron started.

“Yes and not only that they have no type of magic,” Hermione added.

“Guys, that’s not the point!” Harry interjected.

They looked at him. “No? Then what is?” Ron asked. He was being calm considering what he just saw.

He wasn’t about to upset Harry over his disgust. It was bad enough that his friend told him that he fancied Malfoy. Of all the bloody boys in this school his best friend had to fall for that no good git.

“Goku and Vegeta are a mated pair.”

“Harry, we don’t know that,” Hermione admitted.

“You’ve read the book, plus you’ve noticed how they seem to just snap at other people for either looking too long or saying something wrong.” Harry replied.

“Harry, that would mean that one of them is pregnant. Why don’t we ask them? I’m quite sure that will tell us,” Hermione said.

“There’s a better way to find out if they’re mates,” Harry said.

“How’s that mate?” the red head asked.

“They would have some type of mark or scar on the right side of their neck,” Harry replied.

“Well, we can figure this all out later. Right now let’s go, we don’t want to be late for class,” Hermione said.

They picked up their book bags and headed back to the castle.

oOoOoOo

The day dragged on forever. Harry was finally in his last class, Defense Against the Dark Arts along with his friends and Malfoy as well as the other two houses. He hadn’t seen Goku or Vegeta since early part of the day. They were probably doing something that he had yet to experience.

Harry noticed that that all four houses were present. This reminded him of the Dueling Club with that nutcase Lockhart. What a crackpot he turned out to be the wimp. He turned his attention back to his friend Professor Lupin.

“Now, in addition to what we’ve learned so far, you will also learn how to do some hand to hand combat.”

Professor Black took over. “To demonstrate, Prince Vegeta and Mr. Son will show us some basic moves. Tomorrow we will have group training.”

Goku and Vegeta walked onto the raised wooden platform. Vegeta stood at one end and Goku at the other both took battle stances. However, before that could start a question was raised.

“Would it not be beneficial if one of them had a volunteer?”

It was Professor Snape. He was still mad about the confrontation from this morning.

“I don’t see that as a problem. Professor Lupin?” Sirius said.

“Um, no. Mr. Son?” Lupin directed the question to Goku.

Goku placed his hand at the back of his head smiling from ear to ear. “No...”

“I will go first,” Vegeta finally spoke cutting in before Goku said anything else. All the girls swooned at the sound of his low sexy tenor. “And I want Professor Snape as my sparring partner.”

The prince turned to the teacher. Surprise was clearly written across Snape’s face. Well, now he had his opportunity to show up this muggle. Vegeta knew what the man was thinking.

Goku walked over to his mate whispering in his ear. “Geta, please go easy on him. Remember you have someone else to think about now.”

Vegeta smirk. “Don’t worry I will be careful. As for Snape...I’ll try to take it easy but no guarantees.” Goku knew what that meant. Vegeta was going to pound Snape into the ground without killing him.

Both combatants took their position on opposite ends of the platform. Vegeta in his battle stance his muscular legs spreaded apart slightly. His hands in a claw like position.

Snape stood in his battle stance his wand pointing at the royal. This was exactly like the time he made a fool of Gilderoy Lockhart. He knew from the very start the man was a phony, and he would prove the same about the so-called prince.

oOoOoOo

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 stuncounconscious; 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 thng? ng? 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.

oOoOoOo

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 oto hto 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 leef thf 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 backthe the large Saiyan waiting for him to talk. It was going to be a very long night.

oOo TBC oOo

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 ^_~

oOoOo Teaser for Chapter 4: Secrets Revealed oOoOo

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.

Nemesis
