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.

I know this chapter has taken a while and I'm sorry, but I've been in the process of moving, so I've had to wait for our phone to get hooked back up. This is Ginny's chapter, and I really liked it, so I hope you do. And if you've played the game, you may have got a different conversation than the one at the end of the chapter… it depends on who Tidus has the best rapport with at the time. Also, I re-edited Chapter 18, so you might want to reread it.

And as always, Al Bhed translations are at the end of the sentences.

Dreaming

Chapter 20: Revelations

It was still strange, being in this world. She had always felt insignificant… being the youngest Weasley, and it had led to her unique transformation at the end of her fourth year. She had finally gotten tired of hearing about all the amazing things Ron, Harry and Hermione had done.

Oh, she knew that there would be danger… hadn't she once been at the center of a crisis, controlled by Voldemort/Riddle. And yet Harry still thought of her as the child that he had rescued nearly five years ago. It was as though her membership in the D.A. and their excursion into the Department of Mysteries meant nothing.

Well, she was tired of trying to make him see her. She'd realized not long after Harry's latest re-entry into the wizarding world the past summer, that Harry wasn't particularly interested in girls at all.

She had overheard Ron and Hermione discussing it at the Burrow, and couldn't help but be shocked s Ron revealed that he had overheard Harry in a rather intimate moment, but when he'd heard the name Harry called out he'd fled in terror. It had been Draco Malfoy's name. She doubted that he'd ever mentioned it to Harry.

She had realized early on that Tidus was Draco. He had been the obvious choice ever since his description of his life before entering Spira. She had heard the bitterness at the mention of his father, and seen the sheer ruthlessness when he'd helped the Aurochs win at Blitzball. She had been well hidden in the stadium, but she knew that Harry could never have played that brutally. Not just for a game.

Realizing that she had been lost in reflection, she grimaced, and looked up in time to see Tidus speaking to O'aka.

The man was definitely persistent, she'd give him points for that. "Welcome! Holiday prices on all items in celebration of Maester Seymour Guado's wedding!" As they examined the prices, Ginny saw Tidus' face darken with the comment about Seymour. She couldn't blame him. He'd felt Tom Riddle's aura when she'd met Seymour.

O'aka however misinterpreted the look. "Too expensive, ye think?" he asked.

Tidus nodded. "Too pricey."

The merchant made a few changes, then showed them the new prices. "How about this?" They agreed, and he smiled. "I'll go with these prices for a while!" Then he turned, and headed out of the forest.

They followed him through the forest, but stopped short in amazement at the view. They were beside yet another of Rin's shops, but this one was on a slope overlooking a vast ice lake. Farther in the distance they could see what appeared to be Macalania temple.

Before they could walk into the shop, O'aka walked out in a huff.

"Curse that Rin for taking up a place like this! He'll be rich by tomorrow all on account of this celebration thing!" Then he glanced at Tidus. "Hmm? What? You buying somethin' from me?"

"Of course!" Tidus exclaimed, grinning.

O'aka's expression went from glum to excited as he opened his pack. "Great! I knew I could count on you, lad!"

Then they spotted Clasko standing on the other side of the building, standing by the chocobo.

"Hi there," Clasko said, grinning. "Would you look at this? They always leave me behind."

The chocobo that was standing beside him gave loud squawk, and he turned to it.

"Oh. You want me to scratch you?" he asked, putting a hand up to scratch its neck. "There. Good boy!"

"How'd you know what it wanted?" Tidus asked in amazement.

The expression on his face was like the one Neville got when asked about Herbology. Proud, and slightly embarrassed. "I've always been able to tell how chocobos feel. Maybe I'd make a better chocobo breeder than Chocobo Knight, huh?" Then he turned to look at Tidus. "Hey, what job do you see me doing?"

Tidus smiled at him, then replied, "Chocobo breeder!"

"Yeah! I think so too!" Clasko grinned. He looked happier than he had since they met him. "Hmm… You know, I might just give it a try." Then he began to mumble to himself. "Should I resign my commission? Would Captain Lucil let me? Elma would probably laugh at me."

He glanced back up at them, and laughed. Wow, I think this is the first time I've seriously thought about my life."

They walked into the Travel Agency, and Ginny sighed as she spotted Maechen standing just inside the door. She assumed that Dumbledore had gotten the role because of the fact that he constantly gave people vague and confusing advice, under the guise of being helpful.

"I've heard Lady Yuna is to wed Maester Seymour," the old man stated, ignoring Tidus' darkening expression. "It is great news. I'd like to congratulate her. But… it is a pity. I'd hoped Lady Yuna would defeat Sin and bring the Calm to Spira."

Tidus shook his head. "Yuna's still gonna journey, even after she's married." Ginny noticed that the last word came out through clenched teeth.

But, if Maechen noticed, he didn't let on. That is also great news! Her resolve is admirable!" Then he looked slyly at Tidus. "Would you like to hear about Macalania?"

"Go ahead!" Tidus exclaimed, obviously glad to change the subject.

"Lake Macalania is frozen over all through the year," Maechen said. "It stays frozen even on the hottest of days. It is said that the temple's Fayth is the cause of this fantastic phenomenon! And that is all for today." Then he smiled. "Hopefully I can be present at the wedding. It is not everyday that one can attend such a joyous event."

Tidus moved away from him quickly, and moved to stand by Lulu. She looked up. "Yuna's really quiet," she stated. "Sitting here, like this, you really get to thinking."

Tidus nodded, and then Wakka glanced over at them. "Seriously… A wedding's not supposed to make people feel this bad, huh?" he asked.

"Come on, don't say that!" Tidus said, glancing at Yuna, to see if she was listening.

"Hmph!" Wakka snorted. "I say what I want, ever since I was a kid!"

"Ginny stifled a giggle. That was certainly true. Ron spoke first, and let his brain catch up later, which was usually the reason Malfoy always got to him.

"Oh, so you're an adult now?" Tidus said, sarcastically.

Wakka grinned. "You know it!" Then he sighed. "Anyways… How long we supposed to stay here, you think?"

Tidus held up his hands. "Hey, don't ask me!"

"Things've sure gotten complicated since Sir Auron joined us," Wakka stated, quietly.

Tidus nodded. "You think so, too?"

He moved over to where Auron was sitting, but before he could speak, Kimahri growled, "Temple not far, why stop here?"

Auron looked up at Tidus who was staring at him. "Anything can happed," he said.

Tidus smiled. "'Make sure you're prepared', right?" he asked.

"There is a saying: 'Hurry up and wait'," Auron continued. "It means prepare quickly, so you're ready for whatever comes next."

"Sounds like something an old man would say," Tidus joked.

"Forgive me." Auron's voice was icy, and Ginny heard Snape in it.

"Hey, just being honest!" Tidus laughed, before moving over to where Yuna was standing. She was facing away from everybody, and Ginny thought it looked as though she might have been crying.

"Hmm?" she asked, turning around.

"Don't forget to smile," he told her.

She looked confused for a second, then smiled. "Oh, you're right. I'll try and remember. Smiling…"

"Right! Keep at it!" Tidus grinned.

Ginny stood up. "Can we go now? I'm tired of waiting!"

As they left the shop, Ginny smiled at O'aka, and could have sworn that he knew who she was. It was a Weasley thing. She knew he was Fred, after all who else was that pushy about selling things?

Then she noticed that Tromell Guado was approaching them, with an escort, coming up the slope.

"Lady Yuna, we've been expecting you," he said. "We were surprised you decided to come so soon. Pleasantly surprised, of course." She doubted that. Everyone they'd met since leaving Guadosalam seemed certain that Yuna was going to marry Seymour. "Lord Seymour sends his apologies for having left without notice."

Yuna stepped forward. "It's quite all right. I have one question if I may, sir."

"My lady?" he asked, curious.

"I want to keep journeying, even if I marry," she stated. "Do you think that Maester Seymour would let me?"

Tromell was quick with his response. "But of course, my lady. Lord Seymour wishes nothing else, I'm sure."

'I'm sure' Ginny thought, sarcastically. 'He lets her destroy Sin, then he becomes more powerful, as her husband.'

Yuna turned to face them, and her expression was unreadable. "Goodbye."

"Well... We must follow Guado tradition," Tromell told them. "I'll have to ask you to wait here a little longer. I'll send someone to escort you."

"I..." Yuna broke off, not sure what to say.

Auron nodded to her. "We're all with you. Do as you will," he said quietly.

"Thank you," she said, bowing.

Auron glanced sideways at Tidus. "Sorry," he whispered.

"Huh?"

"That was your line," Auron replied.

Tidus seemed to come out of a daze, and hurried forward. "Yuna!" As she turned to look at him, he put his fingers to his lips, and blew an ear-splitting whistle.

Yuna grinned, and waved. "Yessir!"

Suddenly they heard a noise out on the lake, and watched as Al Bhed surrounded Yuna.

"Oh, no!" Ginny exclaimed, as she realized what was going on.

"Al Bhed!" Wakka exclaimed angrily, and they started down the slope.

As Tidus followed them, Ginny noticed that he looked scared for Yuna.

"Stand back," Auron shouted at Tromell and the Guado.

Tromell grabbed Yuna's hand to lead her off the ice. "Thank you!" he called to the guardians.

Yuna however had other ideas, as she broke away, and moved to stand with her friends.

"Lady Yuna!" he gasped, moving away.

Just then, Ginny herd a voice, calling her name. A very familiar voice. She looked up, and saw the guy who'd ordered Tidus to help them locate the airship.

"Rikku! Tyh'd ehdanvana un oui kad dric!" (Rikku! Don't interfere or you get this!)

A giant machina appeared beside him, and she glanced at Tidus, to see how he was holding up.

"Oain bnaciuic magic and aeons yna caymat!" (Your precious magic and aeons are sealed!)

"Oh, no!" she gasped, glancing back at Tidus.

"Translation?" he asked, confused.

She pulled a face. "He's gonna use an anti-magic field on us!"

"Ked dras!" the guy shouted. And the machina moved until it was in front of them on the ice. (Get them!)

The battle wasn't difficult, since Wakka took out the field generator, which was floating above the machina. Then they battered the thing with magic spells.

"My lady!" Tromell stated, leading her away as soon as the battle was over. Ginny was really beginning to hate that guy.

"Rikku! I femm damm Vydran!" came the call from above their heads, and she decided to glare at him as well. (Rikku! I will tell Father!)

"E ys dra guardian of Yuna, oui caa?" she called, noticing Wakka's eyes get wide as she spoke Al Bhed. She knew how upset he would be when he finally realized her heritage… and Yuna's. "Yuna ec cyva! Fa femm kiynt ran! Cra ec cyva!" (I am the guardian of Yuna, you see? Yuna is safe! We will guard her! She is safe!)

"Oui tu drec ymuha, cecdan!" was the reply, before he turned and walked away. (You do this alone, sister!)

"I told him I was a guardian," she said, in reply to Wakka's searching look. "Well, guess I had to, really."

"How come you speak Al Bhed?" Wakka asked, a confused look on his face. Then he turned to look around at everyone's guilty expressions. "Why?"

Tidus began stammering. "Uh, well… uh…"

Ginny sighed. "Because I'm Al Bhed. And that... was my brother."

She thought it was funny, in a way. She was talking to her real brother, about someone who was just pretending to be her brother. And yet, it felt natural to her.

Wakka sighed heavily and stared at Tidus and Lulu. "You knew?"

There was a hint of fury in his voice as he watched them nod. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Lulu spoke quietly, trying to calm him. "We knew you'd be upset."

This is great," he growled, glaring at Ginny. "I can't believe I've been traveling with an Al Bhed! A heathen!"

Ginny glared right back. Heathen, indeed. "You're wrong! We have nothing against Yevon."

"But you Al Bhed use the forbidden machina!" he shouted. "You know what that means? Sin was born because people used machina!"

'Oh please,' she thought. 'That's like saying that all witches and wizards were evil because some of them used dark magic. "You got proof? Show me proof!" she shot back hotly.

"It's in Yevon's teachings! Not that you'd know!" Wakka was stubbornly holding to his opinion, and she could remember when she was five, and Ron had once been mad at her for weeks when he'd caught her on his toy broom.

"That's not good enough!" Ginny snarled, feeling her Weasley temper rise. The other boys always said she got her temper from her mom. "Yevon says this. Yevon says that. Can't you think for yourself?"

"Well, then you tell me! Where did Sin come from, huh?" he asked.

She stopped, suddenly unsure. "I... I don't know!"

Wakka laughed harshly. "You bad-mouth Yevon and that's all you can come up with?"

"But... that doesn't mean you should do whatever they say without thinking!" She knew better. That was the way most people followed the Ministry… blindly. "Nothing will ever change that way!"

"Nothing has to change!"

"You want Sin to keep coming back?" she asked. "There might be a way to stop it, you know!"

"Sin will be gone once we atone for our past mistakes!" The religious fanatic again. It was really getting on her nerves.

"When? How?"

Wakka was adamant. "If we keep faith in Yevon's teachings it will be gone one day!"

"Why do I even bother?" she sighed, turning away.

"Rikku!" Auron called, glancing down at one of the Al Bhed sleds. "Will this move?"

"Yes!" Ginny raced over, and began working on it, keeping an ear on the others.

"We're not using that, are we?" Wakka asked. "Wait... Sir Auron isn't Al Bhed too, is he?"

"Come on, Wakka... " Tidus groaned. She smiled to herself. Draco Malfoy, who was always spouting his father's opinion on Muggleborns, defending the Al Bhed, this world's outcasts? It really seemed as though he was changing for the better.

"What?" But apparently, Wakka didn't buy it.

"I mean, getting angry just 'cause you found out Rikku's an Al Bhed..." Tidus stated. "You guys got along fine till now, didn't you?"

Wakka was at a loss for words. "That's different, I mean..."

"Well, I don't claim to know much about Spira," Tidus replied. "And I probably know even less about the Al Bhed, but... I know Rikku's a good person. She's just Rikku."

Ginny giggled quietly. What would Harry have made of that comment?

"Lu?" Wakka asked, hopefully, turning to her. He was trying to find someone on his side, probably.

But Lulu just gazed calmly at him, before speaking. "Just think of this as an opportunity to learn more about the Al Bhed."

"Ha!" Wakka turned on his heel, and left, walking towards the temple.

Auron watched him leave, then turned to Tidus, who had moved, as though to follow him. "Let him go. Give him time to think."

"I'm sorry," Ginny sighed, as she stood up, the sled fixed.

Lulu put a hand on her shoulder. "You've done nothing to apologize for."

Tidus grinned, and looked at the sled. His face resembled her father's when someone mentioned Muggles. "All right! Let's ride!"

"You sure you know how to drive this?" Ginny asked him, warily.

Kimahri flipped the sled right side up, climbed onto it, and zoomed away across the ice.

"Better than Kimahri does!" he laughed.

Rikku climbed onto the back of the Speeder that he chose.

"Sorry about Wakka," He called back as they started off.

"He didn't have to be so mean, yeah?" she asked, still upset with the attitude she'd gotten from her brother. She knew it wasn't really Ron's opinion, but it still hurt. "I almost cried."

"Uh… Rikku?" The concern in Tidus' voice stunned her, and she realized that he was worried about her. That made her feel better.

"Just kidding!" she joked. No reason to get him down, after all. "It's okay. At least you're still nice." Then she leaned back a bit. "Hey, do I look like Yunie, you think?" she asked, and smiled as she saw the confused look on his face. "Well, my dad's sister is Yunie's mother, you get it?"

Tidus laughed. "I had no idea! If you say so."

"Um-hmm." She nodded, knowing that Wakka would really freak out if he knew he was guarding an Al Bhed… even if she was only half.

"Okay!" he exclaimed happily. Then he glanced back over his shoulder at her. "I guess you're guarding your family, then."

"Yuna's not the only one that I want to protect," Ginny said quietly. It was hard, knowing what she did, and not being able to reveal the truth. She knew that Draco would be horrified if he knew.

"Huh?" he asked.

"We Al Bhed want to protect all of the summoners, you know?" she said. That's why she'd started to run after Barthello. She'd wanted to let him know that Dona was safe. "Summoners are… Well, you could say that… they sacrifice themselves to, well… to bring happiness to Spira."

"What do you mean?" he asked, and she gulped.

She had to think fast to explain herself. "Oh".

"Rikku?"

"Yes?" she asked, stalling for time.

"'Sacrifice themselves'?" he asked.

"You know, the pilgrimage… It takes a lot out of you," she replied, vaguely.

"Oh, right. But, you know, Yuna's real serious about being a summoner," he stated. He sounded in awe of her. "For Yuna, well the pilgrimage kinda means everything to her. You are going to help her, aren't you, Rikku? So you shouldn't say that Yuna's sacrificing herself. Rikku?"

"I hope you're right," Ginny sighed, burying her face in his shoulder. 'For all of our sakes, not just Harry's."
