Chapter 09
Lea's Arrival

Lea's POV

All throughout dinner have I felt this strange urge calling me to a world I have never been to before. It irritated me after about ten minutes and I transported myself to Axel, my Nobody, and Roxas, his partner, and explained them the annoying urge. They both smiled at me and Roxas told me to just follow it, that I would regret it if I didn't.
Following the advice of the First Nobody to be born with a Heart, I had magically travelled to Sora and Riku's island, telling them I might not be able to meet with them for their important news that same night and they had told me they would leave me a plate of food in case I did show up, before I transported off to wherever the urge led me.

It had led me into a very nice looking lounge room, but the scene that met my eyes was all but pleasant. A family of seven redheads were sitting, together with a black-haired man and a brown-haired man, around on different chairs and couches and three of the redheads were gathered around the fourth, who seemed dying.
The other two seemed to be kept away from the scene by the last redhead, but all nine members in the room were crying over the obviously dying elder teen and when I hear him whisper: "I did my best, father. I did my best to protect you all." I know I have to step in and save this poor soul of whatever is causing him this pain.

I step forward when I suddenly feel a strong bout of, to me, unknown magic come from the eldest of the redheads and he seems to be swearing some kind of love-oath directed at the young man lying on his lap. Hearing not everything, but enough to know this young man can't die, I summon my newly acquired Keyblade, The Bond of Eternal Flames.
I wait until the man is done with his oath and then walk over the body, barely able to sense any life in him anymore. Deciding that, if my Keyblade Magic can't cure him, I'll have to change him into a Nobody, I focus my power over the fire to change into Earth and Wind and while holding the curved, flamed tip over the youth, do I shout:
"Curaga!" And I feel strong magic leave my Keyblade in the shape of a soft wind, flower and leaf petals and all three those powers join with the life energy of the youth, making me feel it strengthen. Holding the spell until I am sure the youth will live, I break the spell and dismiss my Keyblade, content to just be.

I look up from the youth and see that the two non-red-heads look at me shocked, as if they cannot believe I'm here and wonder if they are the reason I was called here. I focus on that same urge, but detect that it comes from another room in this, apparently, large house, therefore deducing that it's not because of the dying youth I was called here.
Still glad that it had been this room where I ended up, I feel another pair of eyes on me and looking down, I look straight in shocked dark blue eyes of the elder man and the obvious father of all other red-heads. The man then asks: "You? You're the one, aren't you? You saved my son? You saved Percy's life."

I nod and say: "The name's Lea." Before tapping my left temple like I always do and say: "Got it memorized?" The man nods and then he slowly gives Percy to the brown-haired man, who lies him on a long couch. The red-haired man then stands up and says: "I am Arthur William Weasley. In name of the House of Weasley, I thank you."
Wondering why he sounds so formal, I shrug and say: "Ah, it was nothing. I save people's lives all the time. Especially Roxas and Sora. Boy, those two need a babysitter, I'm telling you." This makes a small hint of humor be seen in the grateful smile of the man and then he says: "Let me introduce you to my sons."

He turns to the eldest, who looks pretty cool with his long hair and tooth earring and says: "This is Bill and his girlfriend, Fleur Delacour." I see the brown-haired man hold back a snicker and wonder what he could be on about, but – like Arthur – wave it off and focus on the second son, who has some really awesome burns on his arms.
"This is Charlie. He is my second eldest and works in Romania. He's a Dragon Tamer." This makes me wonder how this lad will react to the Dragons of Ancient China and then Arthur sighs and says: "And the man you just saved is my son Percy, who apparently – until today – was not my son by blood, but –."

The man stops, but already I know enough and nod at him, showing him I understand. The man nods back gratefully and then he motions for the other three boys to come over. With help of who seems to be the youngest they do so and the first two – who are obviously twins – quickly and lovingly hug Percy before they sit down.
Arthur smiles at this and so does Percy, who tries to take a spot between the two, but instead they sit down so that Percy's head is on one of their laps and that the other is calmingly caressing the boy's hairs. Percy relaxes at this and sends his younger brother a grateful smile, which is returned by a teary, loving smile.

Arthur then says: "Those are Fred and George. I don't really know which of them is which, but that is mostly because they often call each other Greg and Forge, so –." I nod, already feeling amused and knowing that the two are pranksters, making me decide to introduce them to Jack Skellington of Halloween Town some day.
I then look at the youngest, who seems really responsible and seems quite capable of pressing his own emotions to the back to worry over others and then Arthur shocks him as he says: "And there is my youngest son, Ronald. The one who, out of all my sons, has made me most proud during his years at Hogwarts School."

Ronald seems shocked at this and asks: "Really, dad?" And Arthur nods and says: "You know how I am, Ron. Always thinking outside the box, always trying to invent something new out of Muggle Stuff. And you do the same – with all the adventures you have ventured on with Harry and Hermione – and that makes you my biggest pride."
This seems to make the dam Ron had hidden his emotions behind to tend to those of Fred and George break and he clings to his father as well, crying tears obviously meant for the fear he must have felt when he thought Percy was dying and others out of gratitude. I smile at the family picture and then focus on the other two men in the room.

The black-haired man sees this and says: "I'm Sirius, this is Remus and we're very glad you're here, Lea. Let me guess, some kind of urge inside your heart told you to come here?" I nod and he turns to Remus and says: "Figures. All mates just always feel the same, I guess." To which Remus asks: "How do you even know how they feel?"
And Sirius says: "Simple. Lily told me. After her third date with James, when you were on that round with James, she cornered me in the common room and told me how weird it was dating James and finally giving into that weird urge she had been feeling since fifteen. I then told her of the Potter Curse and that officially brought them together."

Remus hits himself on the head and then Sirius stands up and says: "I'll go tell James that his boy's mate is here. You tell Lea the details, will you?" Remus looks up shocked, but before he can object, has Sirius fled from the room, making me look at a groaning Remus with a raised eyebrow, wondering what could be going on here.
The man sighs and says: "Lea, listen. This might come as a shock to you, but there is this family called the Potters, and they have this gene that they call a Curse; the Potter Curse. It basically makes every Potter male immortal until age 21 and makes them each have a partner, perfect for them by magic, destiny and character.
Unfortunately was Harry's blocked, together with many other talents and stuff, and right now are his mother and our top Potioneer curing him off all curses, spells, blocks and potions that Dumbledore and Molly Prewett once Weasley have been putting in and casting onto his system since he was just a one year old infant in 1981."

I look shocked that anyone would do that and ask: "And let me guess, I'm that mate, perfect to this, to me still unknown boy, by destiny, character and magic?" Remus nods and then Ron, with a weird raised eyebrow, asks: "Say Lea, does the name Boy Who Lived say anything to you?" I shake my head and he instantly smiles widely and asks:
"Really, you've never heard of him?" I shake my head and ask: "No, should I?" To which Fred says: "Seeing that The Boy Who Lived is really Harry." And George – or maybe that is Fred – goes on: "I'd say that yes, you should." And then they chorus: "But do tell him you don't know of his fame. He'll love you for it, really."
And for some reason do I trust them, maybe because Ron is happily nodding in agreement. Then a man with thick, curly red-brown hair, strong muscles and dark brown eyes walks into the room and asks: "Are you Lea, my son's perfect mate?" I nod, already feeling quite comfortable with that title and he sticks out his hand and says:
"James Potter, pleasure to meet you. Oh, and just so you already know. I already had to keep away from my son for 15 years because of one madman, I don't plan to do it again. So hurt my son and you have an angry stag to deal with." And for some reason do I get the feeling I have to take the angry stag part seriously.

Then Arthur asks: "James, is it – is it really you?" And the man nods, while I wonder what could have happened to the father of my mate that makes Arthur look at him as if he's seeing someone long gone. The red-head then lowers his head and says: "James, about your father – about what Molly and Albus did – did to Charlus –."
But James shakes his head and says: "Please Arthur, not yet. It's – it's too soon." The red-head nods and says: "Please know that the Potter House will always have the Alliance of the Weasley House, James. Seeing all the Life Depths my family has to your House, I feel it's only right for our Houses to Unite against Dumbledore for once and for all."
James nods and says: "And know that the House of Potter will always open her doors for the House of Weasley, no matter what. Only if the actions of Ginerva Ariana Dumbledore or Molly Anne Prewett are repeated will we repel the House of Weasley and then only those causing those actions. All others will always be welcome to the House of Potter."
And together the two men say: "So we swear, so mote it be." Making me wonder if being this official and uptight is part of this world. James then turns to me and asks: "So Lea, where exactly is this Radiant Garden? It was on the paper showing you as my son's perfect mate, but I have to admit I never heard of it."

This shocks me and then I groan and say: "Oh, this is just bloody terrific." Making everyone wonder what could be wrong with me. I sigh and lean against the arm rest of one of the chairs, before I ask: "Do you believe in life up there?" And with my right hand I motion to the ceiling, indicating the heavens and the skies above.
The other occupants of the room all look at each other and I say: "Look, I'm not going to lie. I'm from another Universe. One where worlds are all very different and where there are pathways from one world to the next that you can travel on through two ways. One is the way I came here and the other is through a Gummi ship."

Everyone looks at me shocked and I ask: "Hey, I can prove it. I mean, it's not as if you ever saw something like this before, did you?" And I re-summon my Keyblade, which over the last year and a half has become easier and easier the more I do so. Everyone looks at the blade shocked and then Remus clears his throat and says:
"Well no, can't really say I ever saw a weapon like that before. By Merlin, Lea, I never expected to see someone from another Universe. I mean, sure Muggles believe there is life on other planets and they really have discovered a few other planets over the last few years, but never with life on them, so yeah – it sure is a shock."

I nod and then ask: "So, what's a Muggle?" And Arthur says: "Oh, that's how we call someone with no magic. Our world – or planet, I guess you should call it – is divided by two people. Muggles and Magicals. The Magicals are of course divided in many more, but that is mostly because of how a witch or wizard is born."
I nod and ask: "So – can I see my mate. I would like to see how my future partner looks like." To which Sirius jokes: "Well Lea, you could have already seen quite how your mate looked, had my buddy James not been under irreversible Polyjuice Potion, making him look like Rodolphus Lestrange for the rest of his life."

I look intrigued and ask: "So if we turn this irreversible Polyjuice thing into something reversible and undo it, I will see how my mate looks?" The crew nods and then James says: "But don't waste your breath trying, Lea. Not even my Animagus form can undo the magic of that potion." But then I aim my Keyblade at him and say:
"Curaga!" And the wind of flower and leaf petals hits James straight on. Everyone looks shocked and then I sense the potion fused and running through his veins together with his own blood. Using the magic of the Healing spell, I separate the potion and thin it down to nothing, working all throughout the man's body to do this.
And while in my mind's eye I see this, do my eyes see the sturdy, large, red-brown haired man change into a man of smaller stature, with messy black hair that really stands up in the back and who has circular hazel brown eyes. Everyone looks at the changing shocked and when I stop, I have to say I'm impressed with what I see.
The man blinks and then puts on a terrible pair of circular, black-rimmed glasses, making me want to aim my Keyblade at him again, but he says: "No! Please Lea, this is something every Potter male has had over the last 150 generations. It's a family tradition I don't want to lose." I nod at him and dismiss my Keyblade yet again.

Then Sirius asks jokingly: "So, what do you think?" And I ask: "And my mate looks exactly the same?" But then Ron says: "Not exactly the same, no. He has a little more button shaped nose, his eyebrows turn down at the sides and he has emerald green, almond shaped eyes and a lightning shaped scar on his forehead."
Everyone looks at the redhead shocked and then Ron tilts his head a little and says: "To be honest, now that I take a close look, do I have to say that it's pretty stupid that so many people say that Harry looks exactly like his father. His forehead is more covered by his hair, a little shorter too, I think and he has different lips too."
To this I ask: "Should I feel jealous?" But Ron turns green and says: "Oh juck NO! Harry's my brother in all but blood. I just look out for him a lot when he lands his ass in the Hospital wing again. It just makes it easy for me to see the differences between Harry and James, because I know Harry's looks by heart."

I nod and ask: "So, when can I see my mate?" And James disappoints me as he says: "Tomorrow. Severus and Lily will need all night to get everything Dumbledore and Molly did to him out of his system and even then it will probably take Harry himself another hour to let his body adjust to the new, unblocked abilities and all."
To this Arthur asks: "James – can we please see all Dumbledore has done to Harry?" And Sirius says: "Only if you're willing to recite what you said when you made that family oath, bonding Percy to you as your son by blood. Because I think that Percy breaking the Unbreakable Vow made you able to break a few spells yourself, Arthur."
The man looks confused and then he murmurs: "I, Arthur William … Percival … as newborn son of –." His eyes widen and he says: "Of Arthur William Weasley and Rabastan Lestrange." Every other redhead also looks at this shocked, obviously having missed it in their grief over the near loss of their brother and Arthur asks:
"But – but how?" And Remus says: "Molly confessed. Her family, the Prewetts, were seen as a Grey family and so Albus let her induce you with Amortentia and put a block on the Soul Bond Marriage Contract you had set up with Rabastan. Lucius already has Rabastan downstairs and is explaining to him what we explained to you."

Arthur seems shocked at this and then two other men enter the room. One of them is a tall blond with a pointed face, clear grey eyes and a cane in his left hand that seems to have a silver snake put on top of the cane. The other seems to be a brother of the man James resembled earlier, but then quite a bit thinner than the sturdy man.
Other than the thin looks is the second man still quite equal to James' impersonation and does he have the same thick curly hair, but then more a brown-red color, the brown a little more visible between the red locks. The man also has lighter brown eyes, but they don't look the same as James', instead they look a little more hollow – perhaps of shock.

The thin man sees Arthur and rushes to him, grabbing his hands desperately and asking, almost begging: "Is it true? Is it true what Lucius says? Did Dumblefuck really put spells on you to make you that bint's? Did he really put spells on you to make you forget about me, about us? Please tell me if it's really true, Archie?"
And that nickname seems to be the key to undoing the so-called blocks and spells and Arthur starts to cry as he grabs the man's hands the same way his partner held his and he says: "Yes Rassie. It's true. Molly and Albus cursed me. Cursed me and hexed me and put me under their influence, but no more. No more, Rassie."
The two look at each other, tears of love and happiness falling down their faces and then Fred asks: "So does that make dad our mum and you our dad?" And George goes on: "Or you our mum and dad our dad?" The two adults look at them shocked, while James, Sirius and Remus roll over the floor laughing and Bill and Charlie shout:

"FRED! GEORGE!"

But the twins shrug and chorus: "What? We're curious." Making Remus, who had stopped laughing, fall on Sirius in a new bout of laughter. Then the thin man asks: "Are all those yours, Archie, I thought you had a daughter too. Where is she?" And everyone in the room turns grim with fury, the three men stopping their laughter.
The thin man looks around and asks: "Did I say something?" And James says: "Ginny is in on Molly's plans. She was planning to do the same to Harry what Molly did to you and Arthur, Rabastan. Only, she did worse, she even messed with his Potter Curse gene, willingly taking him his destined mate, Lea, who is over there."
Rabastan looks at me and then asks James: "That young bint dared to mess with a gene that has been in every Potter male over the last 1500 years?" And James nods, making Rabastan curse quite vocally. He then sees Percy and asks: "What's with him?" Turning the grim atmosphere even worse. The man groans and asks:
"What? What did I do wrong this time?" And Arthur lovingly rubs his stubbly cheek as he says: "Not you, Rassie. Molly cheated on me with Albus and that made Percy. She put him under Unbreakable Vow and, if it weren't for Lea and his outer world magic, my son would have died, confiding Dumbledore's secrets."

Rabastan looks shocked and then he says: "Okay, just a minute, let me get this straight. Dumbledore messes with my bond with Archie, gets the Potters supposedly killed, kills my brother and sister-in-law, lets a younger version of that bint Molly mess with a boy's Ancient Gene and puts his own son under Unbreakable Vow?"
We all nod and James says: "And that is only the tip of the iceberg. You should see the spells and enchantments and blocks he's been putting on my poor boy over the last 15 years." And he hands the man a beige-colored roll of parchment. But then I use the curled tip of my Keyblade to take that out of the man's hand and take it myself.
Everyone looks at me and I ask: "What, shouldn't I know what to protect my mate against?" And the elders all smile at me in pride, while the elder teens smile gratefully and the three youngest smile in pure joy, obviously glad that their best friend has someone as worried over his safety as I feel myself becoming the more I hear.

But then I start reading the list and the more I do, the angrier I get and I feel the need to turn Nobody all over again, if only to be heartless enough to kill the people targeted on this list. I feel the fire inside me burning up worse than ever before and while my hands turn warm with the fire burning inside them, do I feel a spell hitting the parchment.
I look up, having just reached the fear spell, and Lucius says: "I rather keep that parchment as something we can use to completely cripple all that Dumbledore stands for, thank you." I nod and then Rabastan asks: "Is that custom? For you to get fire-hands, I mean?" And I see that a small flame is indeed burning around my left hand.

I focus softly and defuse the flame easily, before I say: "Well, that's quite a long story. You see, in my Universe, you have three different kind of people. Humans, Heartless and Nobodies. Humans can be anything and are in all the worlds of my Universe – well, except Hundred Acre Wood, Disney Castle and Pride Lands, but that aside.
Heartless are creatures that come from the Darkness in a person's heart. You see, if a person loses his heart to the Darkness, his heart turns into a creature and that creature knows nothing but to spread fear and to cause more of his brethren to come forth, no matter what the cost. Those creatures can be anything and are called Heartless.
Now, if your Heart is strong when you lose it to the Darkness and you also have a strong will, your body gets left behind and then, it depends on the strength of your will. The stronger it is, the more likely you get to keep your human form, but then with a few physical adjustments, shall we say. Those creatures are called Nobodies.

Got it memorized so far?" I ask and everyone nods, while I have everyone's amazed interest and attention and I smirk at this as I go on and say: "Good. Well, I was little, I think I was nine or so, when my ex-best friend, Isa, and I snuck into our Master and Leader's castle at, what you can call, exactly the wrong time.
It was apparently on the same time as when one of the Master's Apprentices turned against him, shoving him into the Dark Meridan and then called all other Apprentices to him in the Computer room. Isa and I pretended to be Apprentices too and that was when the Head Apprentice, Xehanort, took action.

He made us give up our hearts, saying we could become creatures of much greater strength and that we could serve a much bigger purpose than to follow Master Ansem, that we could continue tests and experiments Master Ansem had apparently forbidden them. We, of course, had to look like we belonged there, so we agreed.
Xehanort made us lose our hearts and we both became Nobodies. I named mine Axel and Isa named his Saïx. He soon became quite close to Xehanort's Nobody, probably – because he had no heart – learning to agree with Xemnas' real plan and became his Second in Command. Still, Axel got the better deal out of it, really."
Everyone looks at me and he says: "You see, there is this young boy named Sora, who was granted a Keyblade because he has the ability to touch other people's hearts, and he, for a short time, was the – you could say – storage factor of one of his friend's hearts. But to give her back her heart, he had to give up his own.
He did so and that made the Nobody Roxas, who then became best friends and – after a while – the true love of my Nobody Axel. But the secret of Xemnas' true plans drove Roxas and Axel apart and if my friend Even hadn't discovered a way to separate Nobody from his original Persona, Roxas and Axel would have never gotten together."

The group looks shocked and Bill asks: "So Roxas is no longer part of Sora and he and Axel are now together? But what of Xemnas?" And I smile and say: "He met his end by the Keyblades of Sora and his true love Riku. And after that, Xehanort discovered that you can hurt Sora all you want, but never touch Riku."
Everyone looks intrigued and I say: "You see, it's like this, and keep this memorized, understand?" Everyone nods and I say: "Good, well. It was about half a year ago and Sora and Riku had just both gone through their Mark Of Mastery Exams, which is what makes Keyblade Wielders become Keyblade Masters.
Unfortunately did Master Xehanort use this Exam to try and make Sora one of his thirteen Dark Vessels, I'll explain another time, but because Riku loved him, Mickey and the others cared for him and because I had to keep Axel's promise to Roxas, did we save him before Xehanort could complete his plans.
Then I got my own Keyblade and then my friends, Ienzo, Dilan, Even and Aelaeus, discovered that way to part a Nobody from his Original Persona. We did so and after a month, did Riku confess that he was in love with Sora. Sora confessed the same, but on that same day, did Xehanort trick and kidnap Riku."

This makes some of my audience cringe and when I look at them curiously, Ron says: "Sorry, bad memory. A little too early. Go on, Lea." I nod, feeling curious as to the nature of the memory and decide to ask them about it at a later date, when they've had some more time to process it before I continue talking:
"Anyway, Sora contacted Roxas as he had been a member of Xehanort's Organization and could therefore enter their stronghold no problem, but before Roxas even got there, had Riku been returned to Destiny Islands. He was not the same and he confessed to how the Organization had put a terrible curse on his Keyblade.
He himself had, over the years, learned this amazing technique that allowed him to trap darkness inside his heart and therefore he could use Darkness to protect the Light – walk the Road to Dawn, he calls it. But his Keyblade didn't have this protection and so each of the 12 Organization members infused it with some of their own Darkness.

Riku told us that now, he could no longer be a Keyblade Master, that he could no longer use the Keyblade and therefore no longer protect Sora as using the Keyblade, just summoning it, would allow some of that Darkness to infiltrate his heart through his own Keyblade." I shake my head, still remembering that day and say:
"Poor fellow, he seemed so lost. So hopeless. It broke us all. All of us, except Sora, who was apparently done with others using Riku to hurt him. He was so fueled with anger, he actually used the Nobody Transport technique to get into Where Nothing Gathers, the centre room of Organization XIII stronghold.
There he unleashed so much light, right from within his own heart, and with that so much power, that what he called the Wings of Fate destroyed all of the Darkness and therefore all the Dark Beings making Organization XIII. Xehanort, a man we have been fighting over the last 11 years, was destroyed as well."

Everyone smiles at this and I say: "And of course, by destroying the Organization, Sora also broke the curse over Riku's Keyblade and while he had been unable to pass his Mark of Mastery Exam, did Master Yen Sid believe his defeat of the Organization enough to grant him the rights as a New Keyblade Master."
I shake my head and say: "The happiness they felt when they heard that. When Riku heard he no longer had to fear using his Keyblade and when Sora heard he was a real Keyblade Master, it was as bright as the sun on the hottest day of the year. I really think they spent the rest of that day celebrating by loving the heck out of each other."

We all laugh and I say: "And finally did Sora discovering his ability to travel the Nobody way also cause one other handy little thing. You see, because Sora had travelled to so many other worlds and because he had touched so many hearts, did new ways of travel appear between the worlds once Sora had opened the most important Keyhole.
It was a Keyhole that had been inside that very Computer room and as long as it had been closed, had the people of the worlds been unable to reach each other no matter how close they were connected to each other's hearts. It made walls appear between the worlds and those walls kept worlds from knowing about each other's existence.
Sora unlocked that Keyhole, let a close friend from a very closely connected world put up strong defenses around it so that no wandering Heartless or Nobody could get to it and since then have people been able to jump between worlds as long as they really focus on getting to someone connected to their hearts and make the right jump."

Everyone looks amazed and then a deep voice that makes the redheads gasp in fear says: "What an amazing tale. I really hope to hear more soon." And I see a man who can really use a tan walk into the room, his chalk white skin, deep blood red eyes and snakelike nose thrills giving me the creeps beyond anything else.
And apparently I'm not the only one as all Weasleys look at the man terrified and he says: "What, you accept Death Eaters in your circle, but not their leader?" And Arthur admits: "The situations are a little different, don't you think. Rassie is my Soul Mate and we know Rabastan is really James, but you – well –."
But the white man shakes his head and says: "Say no more, Arthur, I understand. I just wished to tell you that I have come up with some plans we can use to cripple Dumbledore's reputation. And your sons being owners of a Jokeshop fit most of those plans perfectly." This seems to make the Weasley elder alarmed and the man asks:

"How well are you with making devices that look to have dangerous effects, until you see what they are really used for?" The twins look a little confused and then one of them says: "Not too bad." And the other goes on: "Yeah, we made firework that lasts forever." And Ron says: "And of course that brilliant swamp of yours."
The twins nod at this with a brilliant smile on their faces and the white man says: "Excellent. Now, what we need for my plan are a few things that give the illusion they cause Damage and Destruction, but then actually show off something funny. We will also need to find a way to make the Dark Marks able to come off of skin.
Once we have that done, we can let as many of my men terrorize the streets as possible, which will make Dumbledore want to arrest them, but when they show that they can take off their marks, everyone will wonder if Dumbledore is still able to see a villain from an innocent prankster, especially thanks to those products."

To this Ron says: "I know some people better than your men! Dumbledore's Army!" This actually seems to anger the white skinned man and he spats: "And why would I use his lackeys?" And Ron makes me see what a strategic genius he actually is as, with a large smile, he says: "They're not lackeys, they're his students!"
Everyone looks shocked and Ron says: "We had Umbridge as our Defense teacher this year and she made terrible to be the understatement of the year. So Harry, Hermione and I formed our own Defensive Study group and to really piss off the Ministry, mostly because Fudge feared him, we named ourselves Dumbledore's Army."
He and the twins then all show us a large golden coin and he says: "These were our Communication devices. They worked quite like your Dark Mark, because every time Harry had written down the next date for a meeting the date would be scribbled here in the margin and the Galleons would warm up to warn us of the change of date."

Everyone looks at the Galleons surprised and impressed and the white man asks: "And you can assure me that these members will join our side and help us fight for a Caring Light and Strong Darkness?" Ron nods and says: "If you give me the list to use as evidence against Dumbledore, yes. Yes, I can assure you indeed, Tom."
The man named Tom nods and says: "We will further discuss this in the morning. For now, let us all return – or in the case of our 9 new guests – enter our new sleeping quarters and sleep, so that the morning will come to us all the sooner and we will be able to see Harry, healthy and cured of all Dumbledore has caused him."
Everyone nods and Remus says: "Me and Sirius will lead the Weasleys. James, you make sure Lea has some rooms near Harry's, okay? Just until they're comfortable enough with each other for a little closer bond." My – perhaps – future father in law nods and I say: "Sorry, but I have one last important trip I have to take and then I'll be back."

Another nod and I quickly transport myself back to Destiny Island. Just in time to be grabbed by Roxas who is laughing and twirling around Axel, who has Riku and Sora squashed between his arms and is hugging the life out of them. I laugh at the sight and ask: "The news that good?" Only for Roxas to notice who's arm he's holding.
He smiles widely and shouts: "Sora and Riku are engaged!" Shocking me senseless as the two have only been dating for 5 months and I ask: "A little early, is it not?" To which Riku asks: "Are you mad, Lea?" And Sora ends: "Yeah, I've loved Riku since I woke up from my year long sleep. No way am I waiting any longer than I have to."
To which I can't find a reasonable argument and I laugh as I say: "Congratulations, you two. And Roxas, thanks for telling me to follow that weird urge. Seems I have my own perfect mate and he really seems like a nice little fellow if I have to go by what others have told me so far." The group smiles and Kairi asks:

"What do you mean, Lea, haven't you seen him yet?" I shake my head and say: "It seems someone named Dumbledore has been cursing and hexing him over the last 15 years and now little Harry is being cured of all the things that Dumbledore man did to him. The healing will take all night. I won't get to see him until morning."
The girl pats me on the shoulder supportively, but then Aeleus asks: "If that is so, then why are you here, when you can try to at least be near the lad?" And I say: "Because I promised to get here to hear the important news if I could. So Sora, Riku, congratulations and don't you dare to have a wedding without me."

The two laugh at this and I happily take some coconut cake and fresh water before transporting myself back, James still waiting at the same lounge for me. I smile at the man and say: "Seems that Sora has loved Riku a little longer than I expected. He and Riku are engaged." The man shines with happiness at this and he shakes my hand, saying:
"Congratulations, Lea. You think you can make sure me and my family can attend the wedding too?" I nod and he smiles before showing me the way to a very nicely furnished lounge room, which apparently has a bathroom, bedroom, small study and a door to Harry's room added to it. James then leaves the room and says:
"Just get some sleep, Lea. Harry's in a special Lounge on another floor and he'll probably be there until 11 tomorrow morning. Which is only better because that little guy hasn't had a decent night of sleep in the last week." I nod, while worried for my little mate and while imagining to have his body against mine, do I fall asleep.
