Chapter 7: Arguments with a Red-head, Malfoy, and a Party

Ministry of Magic, 9th floor

Moving to the 9th floor and having gotten far enough from his father, Percy finally stopped dragging Riku, who had not struggled the entire time. Instead the red-head just glared at the boy, waiting for the explanation he had demanded out of Riku during the trial.

Seeing this, Riku just gave a smug greeting, "Hello again No. VIII."

"'Hello again' my ass. What are you doing here Riku?" Axel growled, rather annoyed at Riku's nonchalant attitude.

"Why else would I be here? I got reincarnated," Riku said.

Axel snorted. "As Harry Potter of all people. You'd think it was Kingdom Heart's way of giving payback for blindly giving in to the darkness."

Wincing at that particular jab at his past, Riku changed the topic, "Well I was not expecting more of us to be reincarnated in the first place."

"More?" Axel knew that some of them had been reincarnated, but to find out about them so soon…

"Zack Fair and Cloud Strife got reincarnated in this world as well," Riku explained.

"I don't really know them but… Huh. So her prediction about memories of old returning was true…" Axel muttered.

Hearing this Riku questioned, "Hm? Who's 'her'?"

Axel chuckled, "You'll probably meet her when you return to Hogwarts this term. Oh, by the way…" Drawing back his arm Axel gave Riku a solid punch to the face.

Riku not being able to react fast enough, felt his cheek swell as he clutched it in pain.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"That was for fucking kidnapping Roxas and replacing his memories!"

"You're still mad about that?!"

"Of course I'm still mad!"

"Get over it, you hot head! It's been years!"

"Hot head?! I'm a hot head?!"

"Yes, you!"

"Well, you're the jealous prick who hates anyone close to Sora!"

"I'm jealous?! What about you! You Roxas obsessed idiot!"

Of course with that one punch, insults were then flung back and forth between the two. Hearing the sudden rise in volume of their discussion, the Ministry employees, who had been ignoring the two previously, turned their attention to Riku and Axel. They did not understand what was going on and worried that a fight would soon break out between the two, insults turning into spells. This verbal fight was interrupted by someone though.

"Assistant Weasley and… Patronus Potter," Came the snide voice of one Lucius Malfoy.

"What!" Riku growled, rather annoyed at the interruption.

Hearing the tone of disrespect in his voice the green clad man pointed out mockingly, "You seem to be causing quite a… commotion here."

"I'm settling a disagreement with Weasley here, Lord Malfoy. Of course it would be noisy," Riku explained sarcastically.

Malfoy just gave a sneer, "I really don't know how you managed to worm your way out of that trial but…" His face scrunched up with an annoyed look as he seemed to remember something before directing the oddly quiet Minister Fudge behind him away. "Come Minister. We have things to discuss."

And as the two men walked away, Axel shuddered while Riku pondered at the odd feeling the man gave off.

"I really hate that slimy bastard. I can't believe the Minster actually accepts bribes from such a suspicious man!" Axel muttered, not caring that he revealed that the Minister accepted such bribes.

Riku though, ignored the red head's muttering as he wondered, "He seemed kind of annoyed today. Normally that man would take any opportunity to insult me. Something must have happened at the Malfoy Manor."

"Or maybe he's just disgusted at how people of our standing, a last of an ancient family, and a pureblood, can act like barbarians and argue like that."

Riku gave a laugh at that comment, "True to that!"

Axel then looked down to his watch before blinking in surprise, and said to Riku, "Look, we'll discuss more on our situation another time. I have work to do, so I'll send you a missive whenever I can."

Riku, realizing that their argument had been longer than expected and he had left Mr Weasley waiting, nodded in agreement, "Got it. I'll send you the details of our reincarnation via Hedwig."

Axel, hearing this, smirked before running off to his office, while Riku made his way to the Ministry atrium, where a pacing Mr Weasley waited.


No. 12, Grimmauld's Place

The minute Riku stepped into Grimmauld's Place and announced his win against the court, cheers erupted throughout the house. Mrs Weasley made preparations for a party, and that night everyone celebrated. Of course, during all the ruckus, someone decided to spike the drinks, prompting Moody to glare at the Fred and George, who were whistling innocently. Sirius just stood by the side snickering at their antics while Remus shook his head in disappointment.

Ron and Ginny, deciding to take advantage of the rather relaxed atmosphere, tried to confront Riku once again. This attempt was thwarted when they were distracted by Hermione and some of the twins' pranks going off, namely Canary Creams on some of the desserts that had been laid out.

However, the guest of honour was not even at the party. Having taken enough food for himself, Riku had locked himself in Buckbeak's room, thankful that Hermione and the twins had kept anyone from noticing his early disappearance from the party. As the boy sat next to the Hippogriff eating his food, Riku began reminiscing about the party they had after he had rescued Sora from his nightmare during the Mark of Mastery exam.

*Flashback*

Waking up from attempting to wake Sora from his dream, Riku had not expected to see the other wide awake and partying with Donald and Goofy. Shouting at him to catch his attention, Sora turned around and seeing Riku awake, flew forward to hug him.

"Riku… You're safe! Riku!" Sora exclaimed.

Riku felt that this had definitely happened once before, though he had a feeling it was him who should have said it to Sora.

"Wait, haven't we got this backwards?" Riku asked, then taking advantage of Sora's silence to add on, "And why are you having a tea party?"

And of course, Sora promptly ignored his question and went back to hugging him. Giving up, Riku just inquired about Sora's wellbeing, his heart content with the fact that his lover had returned to the physical world safe and sound.

That party had continued on for a while, but it had given Riku a chance to be at Sora's side after being separated during the test the entire time. The blue eyed boy just took Riku's protectiveness in stride, enjoying the other's presence.

*End Flashback*

That party had been enjoyable, mainly because it had Sora as the center of it all. Riku missed Sora, and after seeing Axel and hearing that there was probably more people other than them yet to be reincarnated or found, it made his heart long for Sora. As Riku took a sip of his drink and laid the remainder of his food on the ground for Buckbeak, he had one hopeful thought on his mind.

'Maybe we will see each other again in this World, in this time…'


This fic has reached a 100 followers... I am so happy and thankful to the people who have constantly followed this fic for this long!

Anyways this chapter is a celebratory chapter for 2 things. I PASSED MY EXAMS HOORAY! and 100 FOLLOWERS YAY! I put off writing this chapter for the past few weeks mainly because I was worried for my examination results. And yesterday it came out and I scrambled to write this chapter out.

The Axel vs Riku fight is more like insults being thrown back and forth thanks to Axel finally getting payback against Riku for kidnapping Roxy. Malfoy is annoyed at something, and because I'm skipping the boggart chapter, the reason WILL appear in the next chapter. And I'm sorry Sora only appears in a flashback for this! I really missed Sora, and as a main character, I thought I should at least let him appear in a flashback. Also, Sora and Riku are in an established relationship! There were a small number of hints in the first chapter. So if you weren't expecting it, you really should have looked at the summary since there was a mention of slash being present. Not explicit though. I can't write those.

And on the game of 'guess who's been reincarnated', I forgot to mention that the villain will only appear at the end of 5th year. Some of you got it right on the first guess too. So, whoops! Two reincarnated characters will appear in the next chapter though, so look forward for them.

Please Read and Review!
