In the Background 3: Binding the Memory Linking Chains

If one were to enter the Luna Lovegood's room in the Lovegood House or look at her bed in Ravenclaw, one would have been treated to small drawings scattered around the area. Some slightly childish, and some professionally drawn. But if one looked closely, each drawing told a story.

The first set of her drawings were of an island. Some were of two children sitting together watching the stars. Two were of meetings during the setting sun of the two children and two warriors. Another was of a broken teen who was split in two, abandoned on the island. Yet another was of a faded image of that same teen, joining hands with one of the children, as said child held a glowing light to his chest. Then a third child joined the other two in all the future pictures, all three getting older. Silver was the Land, Red was the Sea, Brunette was the Sky, Luna had named the three when she first drew them.

Her next set of drawings were of the Sky, and what seemed to be herself, she once believed. What seemed to be herself in a glided cage, Selene Lovegood said to Luna when she saw what her daughter had drawn. It was the first set of drawings that she had appeared in, and thus, Luna had sought her mother's advice, who had been surprised that her daughter had a Seer ability that manifested through drawings. But be it past or future, Selene did not know which the drawings referred to. Selene decided to name this version of her daughter Wave.

Luna's third set of drawings were of yet another trio, Blond, Black and Red. Destiny, Tide and Flame. The trio often wore black cloaks whenever she drew them, and spent their time in a town of twilight. But one day, Tide disappeared, and Destiny and Flame broke apart. Luna didn't understand why she had drawn that, but tears filled her eyes, and her heart was filled with regret of an unknown source when she first drew the two apart, and of the missing Tide.

The fourth and last set of drawings that followed the story of the previous three, was of both Sky and Destiny, of Wave and Destiny's connection, of Flame's sacrifice, of Sky and Destiny's own connection, of Land's involvement, of the reunion of Land, Sea and Sky, and of leaving Sky and Land behind to defeat an enemy Luna didn't know of.

It was the fourth and last set, because the night after Luna finished drawing them all, dreams over took her mind, dreams of each and every scene that took place in her drawings, and how most of them were in the perspective of Wave or Sea. Once in a while, she caught a glimpse of those who had not been part of her pictures but were involved, and she always woke up screaming. A scythe of petals, a crackle of sharp lightning. Luna flinched whenever she saw the color pink or a flash of lightning in the distance. But whenever she dreamed of a pair of intricately shaped keys or beautiful dancing flames, she felt the feeling of brotherly protectiveness wash over her.

The dreams continued, getting more and more prominent as each month passed. Then it happened.

A ritual gone wrong, the death of her mother in an attempt to protect her. The trauma of loosing a parent, someone who cared for her and helped her with her abilities as a seer, it caused something to snap into place. That night, when Luna cried herself to sleep, no dreams came. But when she awoke, she remembered.

Luna, no, Naminé remembered everything. Names, faces, spells, books, and emotions. Naminé cried when she realized that she truly had a heart of her own, that she had been given a second chance as her own existence.

The dreams stopped. Naminé was sent to their neighbors, the Weasleys, while her father continued to mourn for the loss of Selene. But the night before she joined the Weasleys to pick up their children in Hogwarts, she didn't know why or how, but she began to draw. Weasley-red hair, blue eyes, neatly dressed in a Hogwarts uniform, facing the right. Flaming red hair set into long spikes, emerald green eyes, dressed in a black coat, facing the left. A slowly forming chain extended from the one in the Hogwarts uniform, to the one in the black coat. Luna fell asleep as the last part of the drawing was complete.

When she awoke, Naminé looked on at her drawing in surprise, seeing Percy Weasley and Axel, the Flurry of Dancing Flames. First herself, and now Axel? Kingdom Hearts must have done something for the two of them to be reincarnated. But the chains… He didn't have all of his memories, just like she didn't before her mother's death. She closed her sketch book, took out a pencil (That could change its colors, a gift from her mother) slid it into the bindings, and headed down to join the Weasleys for breakfast.

When they reached the platform, Naminé smiled when she saw Percy disembark, seeing his eyes flicker between green and blue as it tried to decide between amused or exasperated when he looked at the twins. And when Percy approached her, Naminé decided to leave a message, hoping he would understand when the time came.

"I see you're slowly putting the pieces of your memory together. You may want to complete them soon, as Kingdom Hearts has set several changes in motion."

And as she walked off, Naminé sketched out a picture of Axel, fire dancing in the background.

As months flew by, new drawings similar to her first one after her mother's death began to appear in her room. Black hair with green eyes versus silver hair with blue-green eyes, platinum blond with grey eyes versus bright blond with sky blue eyes, brown hair with blue eyes versus black hair with sky blue eyes, and brown hair with blue eyes, whose chain just wasn't complete. Naminé knew that they were the ones who had been reborn, but had not completed their memories, as indicated by their chains.

Then there were those who had a completed chain. Tawny brown with brown turned yellow eyes versus blond with glowing blue eyes that bled into green, a wolf howling in the background as clouds covered a moonlit sky. Wavy black and grey eyes versus messy spiked black and glowing blue, almost violet eyes, a black dog prowling in the background as constellations littered the sky. Spiky blond hair with blue eyes, wind blowing the leaves in the background. And spikey black with glowing yellow eyes, gears turning in the background along with a flying crow.

As time passed and she went to Hogwarts, she watched from a far three whose chains were not complete, once in a while drawing out the futures of them all. Axel had approached her earlier and gave her a warm hug, quietly proclaiming to her that she was his honorary little sister, and apologizing for hurting her in the past. She smiled and just asked him to watch out for one of three, but never mentioned who. It could have been Potter, it could have been Malfoy, but she was sure he picked Potter and she giggled at the thought of him realizing who Harry Potter was.

In her second year, Naminé blinked when she saw who was at the DADA chair that year, and laughed. She knew the puppy was innocent, her drawings told her so, but it was up to the wolf to find that out himself. So she drew events of that year, of confrontations regarding familial connections, of long held grudges, and of a betrayal brought forth. Though, Naminé freaked out when she had to deal with her Boggart, since Marluxia and Larxene were her fears. Luckily the wolf intervened, while looking at her oddly, and she knew it was because he recognized the Organisation coat.

In her third year, it started with her drawing picture after picture almost frantically, her dorm mates looking at her like she was crazy, as usual. When she saw what was to come, she informed Axel.

"His reawakening draws near Percy. Be prepared, for everything will change. Alliances made, bonds forged and broken, memories of old returning."

It was an event set in stone. Naminé knew she couldn't change it, not when Potter had not completed his chain. So she waited.

She boarded the train to Hogwarts once more, not expecting anyone to enter her compartment. But Riku came into her compartment, greeting her like an old friend, and Roxas remembered her.

Naminé did not always foresee everything in their lives, but sometimes, not knowing made her smile, because she knew the one thing she could never foresee was her own fate or involvement in their stories, because its path had many turns, and only her decisions could determine what path it took. Kingdom Hearts had plans for this world, and if its path fell in line with her path, so be it.

And during the beginning of that year, only two pictures made its way into the Ravenclaw dorm, of friends of the past, drawn with crayons, like that of children's drawings and of friends of the present, drawn with pencils, sketched and drawn beautifully as one by one, reincarnations gathered.

Hi everyone! This is part one of two updates for this story! Its Naminé's In the Background chapter if it wasn't obvious enough, but it also contains spoilers as to WHO are the remaining three I've chosen among the KH characters to be reincarnated. Now, explanation time!

1) Drawings - Naminé, actually having Seer blood, expresses her past self's memories via sketches and drawings in crayons or any other drawing tools. She is still a little quirky, but much less compared to the canon Luna.
2) Memories - Now, depending on the person, and the trauma, something can trigger an early merger of memories and past and present self. Appropriate triggers would be the incident that caused Remus to be turned into a werewolf. Naminé's is the death of her mother. Hence, she gets all her memories early.
3) Names she gave to KH characters - Pre-Hogwarts Luna, because I have no idea what she was like, I made her a little quirky by naming the people in her drawings after certain things. She gets it from her mother. Anyway almost all of them are the Japanese to English translations of the KH team's names. Roxas and Lea are exceptions.
4) Vision sketches - Its everyone I plan on reincarnating. Make your guesses as to who is who. I made them really obvious too!

Again, this is just part one of my update. The next part is Roxas's turn, plus a little continuation of the previous chapter. Please review both chapters though, so that I know people have actually read both chapters!

And Guest who reviewed today? Be happy that I was planning on a double update! I was laughing so much that you happened to leave a review today of all days!
