Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anyone else in his world. I also don't own the rights to Final Fantasy, although I do own a copy of the game.

A/N: This was just a random idea that I had, and it's taken over. I don't even know why. Dumbledore casts a spell, which puts the witches and wizards into a Muggle game, but will they be able to return? And who are they playing? But obviously, Draco is Tidus and Harry will be Yuna. The similarities are too close.

There will be three stories, and each one will have the characters in a different universe. And if you can't tell this story is Draco/Harry. But they probably won't actually get together until the third story.

Dreaming

Chapter 11: On the Road to Find Out

They arrive on the Mi'ihen Highroad a few minutes later. They began walking, and Draco was beginning to enjoy the scenery. Spira really was a beautiful world.

Then, they came to a statue on the side of the road. There was a man standing there, examining it.

"It is a statue of Lord Mi'ihen" he stated, as Draco looked at it. "Eight centuries ago, he founded a legion known as the Crusaders."

Draco listened intently. Luzzu and Gatta hadn't mentioned how the crusaders had been created.

"The old man continued, when he seemed to sense he had a captive audience. "In just a few short years after their founding, their ranks grew throughout Spira. The maester of Yevon feared an uprising, and accused them of rebellion. So Lord Mi'ihen walked along this very road to go face their charges and refute them. He succeeded in winning the maester's trust and his legion became an arm of the Yevon clergy. It was then that Yevon gave them the name 'Crusaders,' which they have kept ever since. And the rest is history."

Draco thought about the history as he began walking again. These maesters seemed too stuck up for him. They were like most religious groups he'd heard of.

Then, he came to a set of ruins and stopped to gaze at them. The man came up behind him, and began talking again. "Do you know what those ruins are from" he asked.

Draco shrugged. "Some old city"

"Correct. A city most ancient" he replied. "A terrible testament to Sin's power. I tremble every time I see them. Compared to Sin, humans are mere mudpuppies"

"But I believe humans are the only ones capable of defeating Sin" Yuna stated firmly, and the man looked at her, as if testing for something only he could see.

Draco was forcibly reminded of Dumbledore as the man's eyes twinkled, merrily. "A good reply. I am relieved to hear you say that, m'lady summoner" he said, then shook his head. "Where are my manners? I am Maechen, a scholar. At your service, m'lady."

He began moving closer to the ruins, and Draco watched him warily. "I am on a journey, studying the history of our world, Spira, seeking its stories and secrets... My travels have taken me to many places, and I am troubled by what I seen. Fragile smiles on people's faces crumbling at the mere mention of Sin. They are counting on you, m'lady. Give them a reason to rejoice once more."

"I will" she said, and he smiled.

Draco was deep in thought, trying to figure the man out. If he was just a scholar, then why would he have such a calculating gleam in his eyes?

Further down the road, Draco saw something amazing. Three people mounted on what appeared to be large yellow birds.

Tidus' group moves on. They then saw three Chocobo riders.

The woman in front was obviously the leader, Draco realized as she brought them to a halt. "Lady Summoner, I presume" she asked, looking at Yuna.

"Yes, I am Yuna" she replied.

The woman smiled at her. "I am Lucil, captain of the Djose Chocobo Knights."

'Chocobo?' Draco wondered. 'Must be what the birds are called.

"And I'm Elma" the dark-haired girl behind her spoke up. "We've been charged to guard the Highroad."

The third member, a boy who looked no older than Yuna was strangely silent.

Lucil was business-like as she said"There have been reports of a large fiend appearing in this area, with a taste for chocobos. Do take care, Summoner Yuna, if you are to rent any chocobos."

Yuna nodded. "Thank you. We will be careful."

She did the Spira Salute, and the three of them reigned in their Chocobos."

"Good. We should get back to our rounds. Farewell." The one named Elma turned as well. "Our prayers are with you."

Elma turned, heading in the direction Draco and the others were heading, but Lucil and the boy went the other way.

As they left, Draco grinned. "A large fiend... Let's go get him"

"Why" Auron asked, looking at him.

"It's the right thing to do" Draco replied. 'Wait, when did I decide to do the right thing?'

"It's the right thing to do" Auron laughed at his response.

"What'd I say now" Draco wondered, taken aback.

"Jecht said that a lot, too" he replied. "And every time he said it, it meant trouble for Braska and me."

Off to the side, they spotted more ruins, and a woman standing beside them. The woman beckoned to Yuna, who walked over to her.

"Ah, a summoner party" she said, as they got close.

Yuna looked at her, appraisingly. "You, too, are a summoner" she asked, and the woman nodded slightly.

"My name is Belgemine" she replied. "You are…"

"My name is Yuna" Yuna stated, praying.

"Ah, the High Summoner's daughter. I've heard much of you." Draco wondered how, but didn't ask. "But, you are fresh on the road, are you not" she asked.

Yuna nodded. "Yes, I am."

Belgemine smiled. "I might have a few things to teach you" she said. "Let us see which are stronger. My aeons or yours. A one-on-one match." As Yuna looked wary, she added"Not to the death, of course. What do you say"

"I'll do my best" Yuna replied.

"Good. Before we begin…" A healing spell encircled Yuna, and the woman continued. "Your aeons have been healed. You can fight with your full strength. Come."

As they began, Belgemine summoned her aeon, and Draco figured it was the one from Kilika, which had to do with fire, Ifrit.

"Show me how strong of a link you've formed with your aeons" she said, and Yuna summoned Valefor. It was a good match, but finally, Yuna beat her.

"Stop" she called. "That is enough. Not bad for one so young. I underestimated you." She handed Yuna a protection ring, saying"Take this. You've earned it." Then she smiled. "You show promise. With more training you could defeat Sin."

Yuna was ecstatic. "Thank you! But I think you might defeat Sin before I am able to."

Belgemine shook her head. "I cannot" she said, and Yuna looked puzzled. "Or should I say… I was not able to" she finished cryptically.

"You mean…" But before Yuna could finish the sentence, the woman turned and started to walk away.

"Farewell, Yuna" she called back. "We'll meet again."

Draco had no idea why Yuna looked so serious all of a sudden, but he tried to put it out of his mind. There was no reason for him to worry he figured.

After walking for another fifty feet or so, they came upon a woman, and her small daughter picking flowers.

The woman jumped up when she spotted them.

"My Lady Summoner"

The little girl bounced on her feet. "You're a summoner" she asked awed.

"Yes. My name is Yuna."

"I'm Calli" the girl stated.

Yuna bent down. "Nice to meet you, Calli."

Calli had a serious expression. "Lady Yuna, are you going to bring us the Calm"

"Yes, very soon" Yuna replied.

"Yay"

Calli's mother looked at them. "We're looking forward to another Calm, My Lady Summoner."

"I'll do my best" Yuna said. This time, if felt truer.

"And good luck to your guardians as well" the mother replied, before turning and walking away with her daughter.

"What's the calm" Draco asked, feeling left out again.

Lulu, of course, had his answer. "The Calm is a time of peace. It comes after a summoner defeats Sin, and lasts until Sin reappears."

"Sin dies and is reborn" Yuna added.

Draco suddenly understood. "I get it! I thought it was weird. Yuna's dad defeated Sin ten years ago, right? But Sin's still here! Didn't make much sense till now." Then he froze. "Wait... If it just comes back..."

Yuna shook her head vehemently. "Don't say it isn't worth it... Because it is."

The voice was back. "Even for a little while... people can sleep in their beds without being afraid. That kind of time is worth anything. Don't say it isn't worth it. Your words that day, Yuna-I remember them well."

They kept walking, contemplating. Suddenly, they saw a carriage, being pulled by a Chocobo. Luzzu and Gatta were supervising, and then they stepped off to the side of the road.

As the group neared, Gatta called to them. "Hey, we saw the game! You guys are great"

Luzzu smiled. "Congratulations, Wakka"

But then, Elma came riding up on her Chocobo. "Hey! Stop loafing around" she said, as the other Knights appeared as well.

"Uh... The lady summoner and her guardians..." Gatta began, but was cut off.

"This mission requires our full attention" Lucil stated. "We've no time to waste! Understood"

"Yes, ma'am! Apologies, ma'am" Luzzu said, saluting.

"Carry on."

And with that, the riders were gone again.

Luzzu turned to the boy. "See? Keep your head down, say "sir" a lot, and you'll do fine."

"Right... sir" he replied.

Then Luzzu turned to Yuna. "Hey, Yuna. Even though Yevon rejected us... we still believe in you. That won't ever change."

Yuna smiled. "Thank you, Sir Luzzu, Sir Gatta. But, you know... It's not too late for you to go back to Besaid, and…"

Apparently, the conversation was too much for them, because Gatta broke in. "We should be going, sir"

Further on, they spotted another Crusader speaking to a young woman.

"We'll defeat Sin any way we can" he was saying.

"But Yevon's teachings says..."

She couldn't finish the sentence. The guard snarled"Enough" And then he left.

"I-I only meant to..." she was sniffling.

"Are you all right" Yuna asked.

As the girl looked up, she stepped back in amazement. "Lady Summoner..."

"Yes, I am Yuna." Draco was beginning to get sick of hearing her introduce herself.

"It is an honor, my lady" she said, praying. "My name is Shelinda. I am a disciple of Yevon."

"What was all that about" Wakka asked. "The Crusaders' operation"

"You mean the one Gatta and Luzzu were talking about" Draco wanted to know.

Shelinda frowned. "I heard they were to use forbidden machina! I had to stop them."

Draco was confused again. "Huh? Why"

"The use of machina is strictly forbidden by the Yevon priesthood." Lulu told him.

Wakka groaned. "That's bad, ya"

Auron, however was calm as ever. "Let them use whatever they want. They still won't defeat Sin."

Shelinda was aghast. "But, it's not about defeating Sin! The teachings of Yevon must be upheld"

"Yeah! Right" Wakka agreed.

Then she shook her head again. "But you don't understand! The Crusaders won't even listen to me. And it's all because I'm just a lowly acolyte."

Yuna walked over to her, and touched her shoulder. "Don't say that. Well, I haven't been a summoner for very long myself, you see. Still, I can't put myself down every time I fail. People are depending on me. They're depending on both of us"

"Yes! Yes, you're right, my lady" Shelinda replied. "Absolutely right! Thank you so much, Lady Yuna! Now I feel I have the courage to finish my training."

She hurried over to speak to another Crusader, and Draco smiled at the way Yuna had handled the situation. It seemed to come naturally to her.
