Aguamenta: My first solo chapter, sorry it took so long. Hope you enjoy it. Also we, the writers still own absolutely nothing you recognize from Kingdom hearts, Harry Potter, or Disney.

"Maleficent," the group cried.
"With that intelligence one almost wonders why you have not yet found me," she smirked.
"What do you want?" asked Sora as his keyblade flashed into his hand. The rest drew their weapons as well.
"You fools think to fight me. I wish you luck," she cackled then continued, "I did not come to fight merely see how you're coming along with your pathetic attempt to stop me. As well I have someone to be returned to my side."
Sora glanced at Donald and Goofy. The three knew from previous encounters just who she was talking about.
"Pete," snickered Donald.
"Not like he's ever presented a challenge," grinned Sora.
"Imbeciles. Enjoy your useless journey. You'll never find me."
Riku glared, "but we can find your Horcruxes."
A look of intense anger flashed across Maleficent's face but she quickly composed herself. "Horcruxes?" she said disbelievingly, and then added, "Enjoy chasing your dreams of victory."
With that she vanished in a column of green flames.
Kairi glanced at Riku but spoke to the group, "it seemed as though she's never heard if Horcruxes, let alone make any."
"But Kairi, she's probably actin'. I don't think that Merlin would be wrong."
"Exactly," agreed Donald, "we should keep looking and hopefully Merlin will make the seeker."
Riku and Sora nodded. Kairi, having been convinced, nodded as well then asked, "so should we stay here? Or look somewhere else?"
"We should go see Olette and the others first. See if they know anything." stated Riku.

Severus Snape strode into the room and quickly took in his surroundings and the people in the room. He recognized everyone but the odd women standing in his usual spot, on the Dark Lord's right side and the fat man behind her, half hidden by the shadows. He remained silent as he approached Lord Voldemort.
"My lord," he murmured reverently as he sank into a bow.
"Severus rise and take your place."
Snape did as requested, and took the only empty place in the circle, between Bellatrix and the witch, whom from the glances everyone shot at her, was obviously new.
"Now that we have all arrived," began Voldemort, "I have someone to introduce to you, as my most faithful. The woman you see beside me is a powerful witch, capable of doing things you could only dream of. She knows of worlds outside this one! She dreams of our victory in this one!"
Wizards outside the Death Eaters didn't know what an excellent orator Voldemort was. In reality much of what he had done was a result of his powerful ability in, not magic, but speech. He would have neither followers nor funds if he had been unable to speak with such skill.
"My followers, Maleficent has joined us," finished the Dark Lord.
It was a testament to the fear the Dark Lord could inspire that the entire inner circle accepted this addition without complaint. Appearances can be deceiving as in this case. All the Death Eaters resented this arrival, who had usurped all their positions.
Maleficent stepped forward gracefully, "you all wish to rule this wizarding world. I can bring you more. I am told you are trustworthy so I grant you this information. There are others worlds, worlds which we could rule."
The inner circle stared at her incredulously.
Snape inclined his head, "if I may ask a question."
Voldemort nodded his approval. "How are we to get to these 'other worlds'?"
Maleficent laughed softly, "You'll learn. You all will. But when you do I must warn you. There is a band of children intent on my destruction and by extension yours. Kill them but leave the blue eyed, spiky haired boy for me."

Ron, Harry, and Hermione were still being kept busy preparing for the wedding. They found to talk the night before the wedding in Ron's crowded bedroom.

"I've done some research," began Hermione

"Shocker," laughed Ron, "some things never change."

Hermione sighed, "Anyway, I haven't found anything about odd black creatures that steal hearts. Harry, you're positive you can trust Dobby, keeping in mind what he did in second year?"

"Yes Hermione. He was trying to save my life then, and he's still trying to help. He wouldn't lie."

"Alright, I believe you. But what could they be?"

"And more importantly," inserted Ron, "what do we do if we see them?"

"I've been thinking about that, but as we know little about them, I don't really know."

"Well, we'll just have to see how they respond to our spells. One of them is bound to do it," replied Harry.

The trio looked at each other. They all knew the danger they were expecting had increased. Love was the most powerful weapon, but without a heart how could one love?

"Switching gears," began Ron, "what are you going to do with that snitch Harry?"

Harry grinned and put it to his lips, causing the words I open at the close to appear.

"But what could that mean?" questioned Hermione.

"I don't know," replied Harry.

They tried every inflection they could think of, but could discern no further meaning.

"And what was he playing at, giving you," Ron looked at Hermione, "a book of children's stories?"

"Children's stories?" repeated Hermione incredulously, "so you've heard of Beedle the Bard?"

"Of course," replied Ron, "I can't believe you haven't. All the old stories are his, Babbity Rabbity, The Wizard and the Hopping Pot..."

"You know that Harry and I were raised by Muggles. We heard different tales: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. And then there's the deluminator," she continued.

Ron grinned and clicked it. The lights went out instantly.

"It's cool," he said, grinning.

"And the sword, Harry he never mentioned anything about it to you? Why you might need it?"

"Never," replied Harry, feeling almost resentful that Dumbledore had thought it important enough to pass to him, but hadn't told him what it was about.

"We'd best be getting to sleep. It wouldn't do to oversleep."

"I'll get the lights," offered Ron, as he clicked the deluminator.
