Chapter 25

The Golden Goddesses

Fred

"DRACO! SOMEONE GET MADAME POMFREY!" Aeris screamed as she held Malfoy in her arms his whole chest was open and bleeding.

"Dear god…" Armstrong said before rushing over to Aeris and quickly put his fingertips on Draco's neck, checking for a pulse.

"Is he?" I asked him. Armstrong was silent and shook his head. Aeris wailed as the wind picked up her cries and took them to the skies.

"We need to get out of here before they take anyone else!" Mustang shouted before snapping his fingers and setting the area on fire.

"Grab him." I told Armstrong and he picked up Malfoy.

"We need to go, Aeris!" Armstrong said before carrying Malfoy away towards to Dumbledore. She was crying her eyes out and above thunder crashed and the wind roared before I quickly grabbed her and pulled her towards the dungeon.

"LET ME GO, FRED. LET ME GO!"

"We're not going to lose you either!" I screamed over the winds. Once we made it past the doors, Dumbledore quickly shut them and sealed them shut.

"What about the others?" Ron said.

"If there are others in there then there are most likely dead." Snape said before heaving Aeris to her feet and checking her for wounds only to find a large gash on her head.

"We need to get you two to the hospital wing." Dumbledore said.

"But… The attack…"

"Is only going on in the dining hall. If that's the Blot's doing then he only has enough magic to attack one place here and he took his chance in the dining hall."

"What if it's not him? What if it's that Lilith girl?" Ron said quickly.

"It would be the same thing except it would be much worse which is why I sealed that door."

"What was going on with the wind?" I asked Dumbledore. We carefully carried Aeris up the flights of stairs to the wing as Dumbledore explained the situation.

"Well… Let's just say we can't eat there anymore." Dumbledore said pressing a finger onto his chin.

"WHAT?" Ron shouted. Aeris' head flopped down and her breath slowed.

"I'll take her." Snape said and picked her up, carrying her up the last flight of stairs.

"The dining hall is gone. It's part of the Blot's kingdom now. He meant to warp us there and trap us so we'll slowly lose our hearts and be stuck there forever. "

"So the people that might've been left in there…"

"Are trapped in Wasteland, yes. I'll send word to Oswald about the missing students. He might be able to bring them back here."

"What about Malfoy?" I asked as Dumbledore opened the hospital doors. Madame Pomfrey quickly showed Snape and Armstrong to two vacant beds next to each other.

"Well… I'm not sure where he is. He could be alive or like the boy said… dead…"

"I may hate him but I don't want him dead." Ron said as he took a seat next to Malfoy's bed.

"Well he's gone. This one will have to stay overnight but it's nothing serious." Madame Pomfrey said looking over Aeris' gash.

"How many kids are wounded?" Snape asked looking around as kids were sitting in beds or chairs with bandages on their head, legs, arms and even torso.

"Tons. You're lucky that I have these two beds open. I knew one of these two were going to get hurt."

"So he's gone?"

"He's stone cold, Dumbledore. There isn't I can do. His heart isn't beating and his eyes look like glass. This chest wound killed him quickly." Madame Pomfrey said looking through Malfoy's chest.

"It's weird… he's not bleeding anymore." Armstrong said.

"Well… What happened?"

"Can't say… She's the only one that knows." I said looking over at Aeris.

"I saw a little. Envy, he's from my world, he stabbed Malfoy through the chest saying he was the sacrifice and it's like a huge burst of light was around them both because the next thing I knew, Envy was gone and Aeris was holding him."

"Oh my god…" I said before buzzing over to Malfoy looking at his chest.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore asked.

"Madame Pomfrey I need your help. Help me flip him over." I said. She stood over by me and slowly we flipped him over onto his stomach.

"Bloody hell…" Ron whispered.

"I knew it." Armstrong said before crying into his hands.

"Envy took his heart. That bastard took his damn heart for the Blot." I said as everyone stood over Malfoy's heartless body.

Draco

I was flying, passing different areas of light, passing different parts of my memory.

"Where the bloody hell am I?" I asked myself as I traveled past my first day of Hogwarts.

"They took your heart, Draco. When they took your heart, your soul left with it." Someone said. Quickly I turned and saw Riku floating with me as we started flying upwards to an even brighter light.

"Am I-"

"No but I think you should meet three people for help." Riku said cutting me off.

"So I'm not living, but I'm not dead?"

"Exactly. This is where the three goddess live. It's the kingdom of the Orcales."

"So… I'm going to heaven without dying?"

"You could say that…"

"So why did they take my heart?"

"You know the answer perfectly well, Draco."

"The Blot needs a heart in order to gain access to my world."

"Smart kid. The problem is though, not only did he take your heart but five other hearts and souls as well."

"FIVE?!"

"Exactly. We need to find these other hearts to keep him from invading your galaxy."

"So what are you making me go after them myself?"

"Yes actually. We need you to stay in Wasteland until then."

"Why? Can't Oswald just make a fake heart for me? He did it for Link."

"He can't make one for humans. Remember he still needs love from humans in order to gain his own heart back. You just need to defeat the Blot to get yours back. He took your heart as a replacement for his own. He did this on purpose because he knows that you're after the paintbrush."

"Will I die?"

"No not at all. If you go back to Earth you will though."

We stood in front of a large golden gate that had three symbols engrave on it."

"What are those?"

"Symbols of the Goddess. It's Wisdom, Life and Power."

"The three goddess from Hyrule?"

"Correct! You're about to meet Nayru, Din and Farore so they can explain everything. TINGLE OPEN THE GATE." Riku shouted.

"Got any force gems?" Tingle asked peering through the bars of the gate. He was a tiny little man wearing a green suit. His face was scrunched in and he had a pointy nose and small backpack on his back.

"No just open the gate. We're in a hurry to see the Goddess."

"Give me a force gem and I'll open the gate."

"WE DON'T HAVE ANY FORCE GEMS!"
"Wait how about this?" I asked and took out a stone that Zelda gave me before we went to battle at the castle. He took it from me quickly and bounced up and down in glee.

"A force gem a force gem! You may enter!" Tingle said happily before opening the gates and letting us inside.

"Who is he?" I asked Riku.

"An annoying man who thinks if you get enough force gems you'll become a forest fairy."

"So you don't become one if you don't get enough?"

"How should I know? I only started reading about this a few days ago."

"But… you know so much about this place and who everyone is…"

"Who enters!" A guard dresses in white asked.

"Riku from Kingdom Hearts and this is Draco from the group that saved Princess Zelda." Riku said. The guard stepped aside and at once I felt a blast of warmth on my skin.

"Welcome, Draco." A women with long brown hair said wearing red.

"Draco this is Din the Goddess of Power."

"So you're pretty much the Fire Goddess. Nice to meet you." I said shaking her hand.

"Well yes you could say that… follow me." Din said batting her eyelashes at me and started walking down the sparkling white hallway.

"Where are the others?" Riku asked her.

"The palace room chatting with the Princess."

"How is Link doing?"

"He's actually healing pretty quickly. The medicine Oswald gave him is working better than we thought." Din grinned before entering a large room that had nothing but a large red rug, three thrones all a different color and a large triangle that was made up of three smaller triangles above the thrones. In the blue colored throne was a girl with long curly blue hair wearing a blue gown and had a harp in her lap. In the other throne, which was green, had a small women with short green hair wearing a green gown and was petting one of those bunny children, Oswald had. In the middle stood Din's throne which was a mixture of red and orange and she sat down in it and stared at me.

"This is Draco, girls." Din said putting her hand out towards me.

"Draco?" Another girl dressed in purple asked and turned around. Yep of course it was Princess Zelda.

"DRACO!" Zelda said and attacked me in a bone crushing hug.

"Yeah hey Zelda long time no see." I tried to get out.

"Link is doing so much better!"

"Look Zelda we know this a surprise that he's here but we are at this moment at War with the Blot. Nayru said.

"Oh right…" Zelda said and let me go.

"War?" I asked the three of them.

"The Blot declared war on us when we wouldn't give up the Triforce." Farore sighed and stopped petting the rabbit.

"So what does this have to do with anything?"

"The Triforce is our central power center for all of us plus Hyrule. If this fell into the wrong hands then our world could end in chaos." Din said.

"Which is why we put all some of our power into Zelda." Nayru said.

"It's true. I'm sort of a human self of them."

"So what are you a Goddess too?" I asked her.

"No I just have some of their powers."

"Well then we better defeat this guy before anything else happens." I said. Just then the doors slammed open and Link walked in with Aeris, Fred, Seamus, Hermione, Snape and…. Tingle.

"What are all of you doing here?!"

"Goddess something terrible happened at Hogwarts!" Tingle shouted.

"WHAT?!" Din said standing up.

"He came back… We tried to defend the school but I felt something stab through my back and I woke up in front of the gates looking at this guy." Fred said giving a dirty look at Tingle.

"All I want is Force Gems!" Tingle squeaked.

"Here Tingle." Zelda said handing him a red velvet bag.

"So what happened did he transport you here?" I asked them. They all looked at me confused.

"Draco… He took our hearts…" Aeris said sadly.
