Hi! Sorry if this took a while, it just takes a lot of time to write long chapters. Incidentally, I noticed that despite the possibility of students having allergies, they still allow cats at Hogwarts. From now on, I'm putting things that I notice up here, just for the fun of it. Oh yeah, and today I had the idea that a bunch of other characters have a crush on Yuna, not knowing that she has Tidus. So now the pairings had increased to an entirely one-sided Yuna+Ron/Percy/Dean/Seamus/Gilderoy Lockheart(!)/Malfoy/Roger Davies/Random characters. Basically, Yuna replaced Fleur as the hottest girl. Except for Bill. Anyways…

Disclaimer- I only own Cream the milk cow, who died before the story.

Chapter 2

After another hour, the train finally stopped. As the doors opened, I saw that there was no one outside. Instead, it opened onto a foggy beach shore with an abandoned house overlooking it. I assumed that this was our stop. Everyone took a step outwards except for Dad.

"Well, I can't go any further," said Dad, "I'm not allowed to go with you past the train. Bye!" He hugged me and reboarded the train. The doors shut behind us and the train began to run. I barely had time to notice that it didn't have any tracks before it vanished out to sea.

Rinoa walked up a flight of stairs that I didn't notice before. How did she see it? She just crashed into the broad side of a train and she saw something like that.

"I've been here before!" Ah. That explains it. "This is where Squall and the others grew up!" Squall? Was that someone's name? "This is Mrs. Kramer's orphanage!" Kramer? Don't I know that name?

"Kramer? Hold on, wasn't that the name of the person in the letter?" Baralai asked. Man, his memory's good.

"Yeah, Mrs. Edea Kramer. She's the one running the program. She also used to be an orphanage Matron! My boyfriend and his friends used to live here."

"Your boyfriend? Is his name Squall?" I asked. She did put his name first, after all.

"Yeah! Hey, maybe I'll find some pictures of them when they were little!" She raced into the house. "Don't worry, it's still stable! Me and the others have been stampeding around here for a while!"

"Wait for me!" Rikku chased after her. How she was still warm even when she was wearing a bikini I could never find out.

Nooj, Gippal, and Baralai exchanged glances. "Might as well," I think that Gippal said it. Or Baralai. Their voices sound almost the same [1].

"Don't forget about us!" Yuna and Paine began to climb.

Lenna looked at me. "Well, shall we?" We both climbed the steps. They weren't nearly as long as the ones at Hogwarts, and I was glad about that. In a few days, I'll- Oh yeah. I'm not going to Hogwarts. I won't see Harry or Hermione for another year…

"You look sad. Why?" Lenna saw my face.

"I…I just realized that I won't see my friends at school until next year…" I had no idea I would miss Hermione so much. She was like the older sister I never had and nothing like any of my brothers at all. As for Harry… well, I long since realized that he was a real person, not just a famous name. He's Ron's friend, not the Boy who Lived.

"You still- never mind," I think that what she was going to say was 'you still have us', but she didn't want to replace my friends.

When we got to the top, Rinoa was trying to force the door open. "It's stuck!"

Baralai came up to it and pushed. "It opens inwards, not outwards," Obvious much?

"Thanks!" At least she's polite. Although maybe… I'm being a bit too harsh on her. She isn't mean or stuck-up, just a little ditzy. Nothing like Romilda Vane.

We went in. I looked around, and gaped. It was completely clean. The walls were stone, like the outside, but they were freshly cleaned and smelled like wood. The bookshelves gleamed, the books dusted, all of them old, but none musty. A chest of drawers stood in the corner, with a picture on top. Rinoa picked it up, and stared at it. Rikku peeked over her shoulder. "Hey, isn't that your boyfriend?"

"Yeah!" He didn't have a scar then, but he looks cute here!" A scar? As soon as she said that, I thought of Harry. He had that scar since he was little. This guy- Squall- still was unblemished by any scar. Did he know that he would bear it all his life when he was cut? I pushed away that thought and rested my gaze upon the picture. Like most muggle photographs, it didn't move.

"Rinoa!" A new voice came out of nowhere. A middle-aged woman in a black dress entered.

"Mrs. Kramer!" Rinoa hugged her. "Guys, this is Mrs. Kramer,"

"Nice to meet you," said Lenna politely. "My name is Lenna,"

"I'm Yuna,"

"Rikku,"

"Paine,"

"Ginny,"

"Baralai,"

"Nooj,"

"Gippal,"

Mrs. Kramer nodded, and opened a closet door. "So," she began, "Let's start right now!"

LINKBREAK

The days passed by so quickly, I barely had time to remember what had happened during the therapy itself. But still, I could remember some things, especially when the others' own problems were involved. The others had problems far beyond my own, especially Baralai.

I first found out about the other's problems when we went down to the beach one Sunday. It was a warm, clear day, and the surf was low. Gippal somehow made a grill with only a spark plug and scrap metal, so we barbequed right on the beach. Rikku lent me one of her outgrown swimsuits, which was actually a canvas shirt and green shorts that dried off quickly [2]. The girls went off swimming, while me and the guys stayed behind. I went swimming for a while, but I couldn't keep up with them, especially when it turned out that Rikku practically swam for a living since she was 11 [3]. It was a while until I could swim to their level, but I wasn't there yet. Nooj couldn't swim with his leg, and Gippal had to watch the grill. Baralai couldn't swim at all. Gippal had joked that that was because 'in Bevelle, swimming is about as heretic as toaster ovens'. I didn't get why he said that, but Barlai hit him with the microwave just to spite him.

"It's always like this," Nooj said quietly. I looked at him. "The four of us. Paine was part of our group, too."

"Then why…?"

"He came." He said it with so much contempt that I shuddered. The only person I knew that I could hate that much was… Riddle?

"Is he the one who-?" I had meant to ask 'Was he the one who possessed you,' but he cut me off.

"Yes!" I decided not to dig any deeper than I had already gotten.

I had never seen Nooj so upset. Normally, he didn't talk to anyone except for Gippal, Baralai, and Paine, and when he did, he stayed composed. I didn't find out exactly why he was so prickly until Gippal came over to talk after dinner.

"You see, Nooj was possessed the longest out of all of us. I was possessed for the least amount of time, along with the girls," he said, "And that's why he's so touchy. But Baralai…"

"What happened?" I asked quietly. Even if I was talking to Gippal, he would have some problems talking behind his friend's back.

"While he was possessed… no, that's for Baralai to say, not me,"

"It's all right," Baralai interjected. How long was he listening? "When Nooj was possessed, the guy was mainly dormant. Gippal was possessed for about five seconds, and the girls… you'll have to ask them,"

"Wait… you don't mean…"

"When he was in my body… The whole time, he had total control. And he…"

"It's all right. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I tried to put on a comforting tone, but I guess that both of them knew that I was disturbed by this.

He looked like he had just set down a ton of bricks. [4] "Thanks," he said.

Little did I know how bad he had been traumatized.

[1] (Gippal and Baralai sounding the same) When I watched the Den of Woe spheres on Youtube, I couldn't tell who was who without actually looking. I later found out that Gippal and Baralai's voice actors were brothers, which explains it.

[2] (Rikku's swimsuit) The suit is Rikku's original outfit from Final Fantasy X, Ginny is just tall for her age as Rikku was short.

[3] (Rikku diving for a living since she was 11) I totally made that up. But, she did go into a sunken airship with monsters in it with only a guy who most likely hated her race. (For anyone who didn't play the game, he turned out to be one of the few nonracist people in the world).

[4] To contrast with the end of Goblet of Fire, Harry tells everyone about the Graveyard, while Baralai tries not to remember.
