Author: Hi. Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out! I just finished college and i finally got the motivation to do this chapter. I also have two other stories that I am also writing so ill try to update each one at least every three months if I can.
Harry (angrily staring): And you couldn't have updated earlier because?
Author (putting hands up with an embarrassed smile): Sorry. As I said, I lost motivation for this story. But I have been playing Kingdom Hearts and it gave me motivation to write the story again and I don't have to really worry about school much anymore in terms of getting in the way of the story!
Emma and Harry: Really?
Author: Yes! And I plan to try to get another chapter out for this story by the end of the week! I'm honestly excited about the next few chapters and have been itching to get to them which might be why I lost motivation! Anyways, Don, would you do the honors? Or Sally?
Don and Sally (Smiling brightly): Course! The author does not own Harry Potter, Kingdom Hearts or the Servant of Evil Series. Those belong to Mothy, J.K. Rowling and Disney and Square Enix! Please support the creators!
Author: Also, a little note, like with the last chapter, there is something that may trigger people possibly that I did mark so you can skip it if you need to. Its small so it should be easier to skip than Harry's, but I don't want to trigger anyone! Anyone who has seen the Servant of Evil series by Mothy will know exactly what I am talking about. Thank you and enjoy!
Journey Through Memories and Time
Chapter 20 Before Hogwarts: Emma's POV
Aqua and I landed in a town with overlooked by a grand yellow castle. I looked around, noticing that a lot of the people were wearing clothing that looked like it came from the middle ages. I looked over at Aqua, her outfit being one that was more pants and then to where Harry and Ven stood before us, both wearing more modern clothing.
"This doesn't seem like something we should be wearing in this world. We stand out too much and for some reason, that makes me extremely uncomfortable." I thought before I silently gave Aqua a look that must have spoken volumes since, she subtly raised her keyblade and I grabbed her hand holding the handle and helped her to change our clothes. Harry was wearing a white shirt that was still comfortable looking over a pale-yellow coat. He had black pants and black boots on with a brown belt with his bags for storage of his medical items and other necessities. Ventus wore a version of his outfit that definitely looked more old timey than what he had on before. Looking at Aqua, she had on a lilac underdress with a sky-blue skirt that showed a portion of the lilac dress in the middle. The bodice was black, and a portion of the lilac dress showed on her right shoulder. Her crest she got from master was on her chest like a decoration and her typical arm sleeves were on her arms, looking a little longer than they normally did. I stared at her before looking down at myself. I was wearing an orchid gown with velvet accents, the little accents coming from the middle and forming four small violet flowers where each accent met up on my left hip while the rest went down to the floor. While the sleeves were attached to the dress and looked like the type of sleeve you would see a priestess wearing, a little bit of my shoulders stuck out. The only bits of skin that was able to be seen on me were my shoulders and my face. I grabbed my hair, which was red, and threw it over my shoulder. As I finished looking at myself as best as I could, considering I didn't have a mirror, I heard Harry gasp and ask in confusion about his clothing change.
"Of course, your wearing something different. I cast a spell so we can all blend into this world. Something about this world made me think that we should try to blend in." I said. It really took him that long to notice his clothing change? I mean, technically Aqua also helped me with changing our clothes to blend in but still! Anyways, Harry looked at me with a frown on his face, his bright green eyes narrowing behind his glasses.
"How the heck are you able to see without your glasses?" I frowned at him before realizing that the familiar weight of my glasses was there. Was he not able to see them? I smiled and shrugged at him. He was scowling at the ground, but he also almost seemed like he was sick. Was something wrong?
"Do you guys have any ideas about where we are? Also, we aren't going home, just to make that clear." Harry asked, frowning at us. He looked a little pale, but it wasn't too bad, so I put it off to the change in scenery rather than sickness. He seemed to be aware of what was going on, so I wasn't too worried, though Aqua and Ven were also frowning at him. They weren't about to answer his question or anything, so I decided to answer it for them.
"We do not. You seem grouchier than usual Harry. What's wrong?" I asked him. Harry frowned at me before his eyes widened at me.
"I-I don't know to be honest. I just feel really uneasy right now and I know it's not because of this world. I would have had some sort of reaction coming towards here if it was. But I have absolutely no idea why I feel uneasy or what's making me feel uneasy. If I snap at you guys, I'm sorry!" Harry said with an apologetic smile on his face. (Harry: Wait. I thought I was frowning. Emma: Nope!) Then we heard the sound of a carriage pulling up a few feet away from us. We stared at the elegant carriage as a boy with Blond hair tied back in a ponytail with a nice, elegant looking suit, stepped out from the carriage and assisted a girl with shoulder length blond hair and a beautiful, elegant yellow dress down from the carriage. I frowned at the two. They looked like they might be either a noble, which judging from the carriage, was probably a little bit under their social status, or they could have been two royals coming from the castle. I wonder what they are doing in the city?
"I think they are royalty." I whispered to the other three. Harry frowned at them. The girl then caught sight of our curious stares and seemed to almost get…angry? The boy seemed to sigh but said something to the girl and started to go towards us. I saw Ven grab Harry's hand and bring him back so that he was more behind him than in front. Aqua moved so that she was in front of all three of us, with Ven in front of Harry and me. I carefully watched the boy.
"I don't think he wants to hurt us or cause any trouble if that's what you two are worried about? I think he's just as wary of us as we are of him." Harry whispered to us, Aqua showed no sign of hearing him but I saw Ven squeeze his hand, which he had been holding since he grabbed it. The boy reached us before he could respond though, but I realized they probably were being extremely cautious right now.
"I would kindly like to ask you to stop looking at the queen please." The boy told us.
"Wait, she's a queen? I thought she was just a noble or a princess? Either way, I'm sorry. None of us are accustomed to royalty, since they never come where we live. If we are staring, its mainly because we are a bit star struck. Could I at least know your names? I'm Emma, by the way. This is my twin brother Harry and our friends, Ventus and Aqua." I said, as pointing to each of them as I introduced us. Harry gave a little wave at his name and the boy seemed to smile when he heard that Harry and I were twins.
"I am Don. I am the servant and twin brother of Crystal, who is the Queen of Lucefina." We all smiled as he beckoned to Crystal to come over. She seemed to huff but came over anyways. Just then, a girl with her orange hair in a bun came running over. She was wearing a green gown, the outer parts an almost Aqua green and the inner parts were lime, she wore a necklace with a green charm.
"Hey Don! Did Crystal decide to come with you on your journey into town?" The girl asked. Then she did a double take as she stared at us.
"Hello Sally. Yes, she did though I think she just wanted to see if that Prince is in town again." He told the girl with a bright smile.
"And who might you lot be? Oh, how rude of me to ask without introducing myself. My name is Sally." I smiled and waved.
"Hi! My name is Emma. The boy with the black hair is my brother, Harry." I introduced with a bright smile on my face. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ven give Harry a questioning look to which my brother just shrugged. I frowned.
"I'm Ventus but you can just call me Ven." He smiled as he introduced himself.
"I am Aqua. It's nice to meet you." A group of people around Sally's age joined us with Crystal.
"Hi. I'm Nick, Sally's brother." A boy with short orange hair grimaced at his introduction but he shook it off and smiled at us. He was wearing an elegant suit that a nobleman would wear. It was a brilliant emerald green. The boy to the left of him introduced himself as Alex while the boy to the right introduced himself as Tony. Alex had bright red hair and was wearing lower quality clothing that would suit someone in the middle class. The pants were brown with a blue top. Tony had blond hair that went to about his shoulders and he was wearing dark pants with a white top with a black vest. He also seemed to be one of the youngest there. The last two of the group were girls. Sandra, standing by Nick, had long, shoulder length blond hair and was wearing what almost looked like a plain brown kimono. She was definitely from the middle or working class from the look of her cloths. Camelia stood by Tony's side and was wearing an elegant pink gown with heart buttons on the vest and had a purple to underneath. She had waist length red hair. After we had all introduced ourselves, we stood around awkwardly before Nick spoke again.
"So, what brings you and Crystal here Don? I thought you had the day off to go visit your master or whatever?" Don shook his head.
"That's tomorrow. No, I have something to pick up from the seamstress in town." They all groaned when he said that. Not entirely sure why they did though. I frowned at them as they continued to talk but I stopped listening as a feeling of unease took over. I looked around, trying to pinpoint what might be causing it and then I heard a grunt of pain and turned to Harry. His eyes were blank. I gasped as I watched his eyes close and let out a cry as I threw myself at him to catch him before he hit the ground and hurt himself.
"Harry!" Ven and Aqua cried out. They knelt next to him. I heard Don, Crystal and Sally and her group move closer to us, but I focused on my brother, who was pale. He seemed to seize up every so often but otherwise remained perfectly still. The longer he stayed unconscious, the more anxious I got. Then his nose started bleeding. I heard someone gasp, but I ignored them in favor of getting out a rage and wiping up the blood from his nose. Something was really wrong. ("Wait, there was blood?!" "Yes brother. Now, shut up so I can continue.") I heard a groan a few minutes later. Then he opened his eyes. He had a look of confusion and grogginess on his face. Then he began to sit up with a groan. Ven and I helped him sit up.
"Are you ok, Harry?" I asked, my voice shaking a little. If he noticed it, he didn't say anything about it.
"I think? Did I just pass out? It feels like I did but at the same time it feels different." I stared at him as he frowned at me. Then I glanced back at Aqua and Ven. Both were frowning.
"Harry, it almost seemed as if you were having a seizure." Aqua told him. He frowned.
"Okay then. I'm kind of tired now." He said slowly after a couple minutes. I smiled at that.
"Any idea what happened to cause it? Could it have been, well, you know what?" Ven asked.
Harry frowned at the question.
"If it was, I have no clue what it was about." He said, shaking his head. Ven, Aqua and myself all sighed. A green haired girl in a green gown came over with a blue haired man wearing what appeared to be an elegant blue suit. They introduced themselves as Ally and Victor. They spoke with us a bit more as a girl in a nun outfit and white hair came over. She stayed out of the way though and didn't speak to us. She seemed to be following Ally though. Crystal looked a little jealous of Ally. Don offered rooms in the castle for us to which Aqua quickly agreed. Ven hauled Harry onto his back as we moved towards the carriage Don and Crystal arrived in.
"I can walk you know!" Harry groaned but Ven just laughed and continued carrying him on his back. I entered the carriage after them and Crystal entered last as Aqua sat with Don on the outside of the carriage. I sat next to Ven, who had Harry sitting on his lap, who was fast asleep. I smiled softly at them. Crystal was silent for most of the ride. Once we got to the castle, Crystal got out first before Aqua and Don helped Ven and I out of the carriage. Harry was on Ven's back. Crystal and Don led us into the castle. I looked around as we walked. The place had warm colors and everything within the palace looked extremely expensive. Crystal turned to us when we got to a set of double doors.
"Don will show you to your rooms." She said before she entered the double doors. We turned to Don.
"I'll show you to your rooms. Your rooms will be close together. We can talk more in the morning about other arrangements during your stay here." We all nodded as we followed Don. Like he said, the rooms he led us to were grouped together and across from each other. Harry and I took the rooms on the right side of the hall while Aqua and Ven took the rooms on the left. Don left us to go finish his duties, saying he would send someone with dinner for us, so we didn't have to leave Harry alone. Aqua held open the door for Ven as we went into Harry's room and Ven laid Harry down on the big, King sized bed. The room, like the rest of the castle, was modeled in a way that screamed vast wealth, although it wasn't as fancy as some of the other rooms we passed. The room was decorated with warm colors, the bed on the right side of the room close to the wall that held elegant looking windows. There was a dresser close to the door and there was a small table with four chairs over in the corner near one of the windows. While Harry slept, Aqua, Ven and I went over to the table and talked about our adventures and what had happened since we last saw each other. Then we started a rather intense game of Uno with the pack of Uno cards Aqua somehow produced. It was fun. Someone eventually came with our food; which Harry did not partake in because he was fast asleep ("I was exhausted!" "Shut up Harry!"). We played another couple of rounds of Uno after dinner before retiring to our rooms for the night. The next morning, I woke up and had breakfast. As I was exiting my room to go see and wake up Ven and Aqua, I heard a yell from Harry's room. I frowned as I ran towards his room and slammed open the door, my heart pounding in my chest as I searched the room for danger.
"Who the fuck came into your room? Where are they? Imma beat their ass…! Harry?" I said as I caught sight of a chocolate lab puppy and a bear cub sitting on the floor staring at Harry and myself.
"Yes?" He said slowly, still staring at the two baby animals.
"Why is there a puppy and a bear cub in your room?"
"Would you believe me if I told you they climbed in through the window. Because they climbed in through the window." I stared at him with a dumbfounded expression before looking back at the puppy. The puppy stared at us both. I approached it calmly, then picked it up with a grin.
"Aren't you the cutest thing ever! I want to keep h-ow!" I let out a screech as the puppy bit me. I shook my hand with a grimace then looked at the Harry to see him pat the place next to him on the bed. The cub crawled from her place on the floor to the space Harry indicated, staring intently at him. Harry picked her up. She looked like she was young, maybe a little younger than the chocolate lab puppy I currently held, who looked to be about a month old. Harry went to pat her only for her to bite his hand. He let out no sound, though his eyes did betray the fact that he was in pain. I stayed still watching the interaction between the two. She stared at his face, then at his bleeding hand then at his face again, her face and eyes full of regret and sorrow.
"I'm sowwy!" The cub said. Harry smiled at her. I sat next to Harry on the bed.
"We are so very sorry. We have been chased by scary people with pointy objects and were seeking safety when you saw us." The puppy explained. Harry looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
"Can we keep them?" He asked me, his puppy dog eyes intensifying. I smiled at him with a little snort as I nodded.
"We have been bonded with you two now so unfortunately you are stuck with us for life now." The puppy said, his voice hopeful.
"We should give them names. I'll start! I'll call you Chocolate! Oh! Also, my name is Emily Potter! But you can call me Emma." Chocolate seemed to consider this before smiling.
"It is very nice to meet you Emma!" He and I turned to stare at Harry. The little bear cub stared up at him as he stared at her with an inquisitive expression before he smiled and looked down at her.
"My name is Harry Potter. How do you like the name Melody?" Melody brightened at the name.
"Pretty!" She cheered. He smiled at her.
"Melody it is. Um, Emma?" He turned to me.
"Yeah?"
"How are we going to explain this to Aqua and Ven? Or even bring them along since we need armor to travel the space between?"
"We'll figure it out Harry." At that moment, Aqua and Ven walked into the room. They both stared at us and our new animal companions. Then they sighed.
"We can't get you to leave the animals, can we?"
"Nope." I said proudly. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Harry turn to her with an amused smile. Ven and Aqua sighed again before Aqua came over.
"When we leave, I can create something that can carry them without them being affected by the lanes between." We both nodded at her before looking down at Melody and Chocolate with matching grins. Don came in and paused in surprise at the animals in our arms. The two animals seemed to get more nervous, but he smiled at them and the relaxed.
"You may want to stay with them, or the guards might do something to them." He warned us. We all nodded in understanding. He told us that if there was anything we needed, we could call on him and he would help us as much as he could. We were there for two weeks, Crystal having Aqua and Ven help Don and the servants around the castle while Harry and I were watched by either Don, Crystal or a servant. We were there for about a week and a half before we heard about Ally's death. It was less time for the citizens of the kingdom to start rioting. Then about two weeks after we arrived, the forces of unhappy and revolutionized citizens began attacking the castle. Harry and I were with Crystal when that happened, as she had asked Aqua and Ven to help Don with something and offered to watch the two of us. We were playing with Melody and Chocolate, Chocolate and I playing a variation of tag and Harry was tickling Melody, who was giggling up a storm. Crystal was next to him, patting Melody while occasionally frowning at the window. Aqua came in then, followed by Ven. Aqua immediately went over to me, stopping me by putting a hand on my shoulder and whispering something to me.
"We need to be ready to go. Grab Chocolate and Melody. We might need to run." She whispered. I nodded with a nervous frown. Ven knelt down next to Harry with a serious expression.
"What's going on Ven?" He opened his mouth to answer when the door opened to reveal a girl who looked exactly like Crystal. It took another second for me to realize that that was Don, since Crystal was standing next to Harry.
"Don, what the hell do you think you're doing? Go out there and get the guards to put down that rebellion!" We all watched the Queen and her servant.
"Crystal, it is not a rebellion, it's a revolution. Take my spare clothes, put them on and run. Aqua, Ventus, Harry and Emma will stay with you and keep you safe along with Sally and the others. Don't turn back, just keep running."
"What about you?" Crystal asked, her voice shaking.
"We look the same so no one will notice the difference. It'll be fine." Crystal had already changed as they spoke to each other.
"But…..."
"It's fine. Go now! Before those forces arrive."
"Too late." Harry whispered. I saw Ven grabbed Harry and put him on his back as Melody clung to Harry. I picked up Chocolate in one arm as Aqua grabbed my hand on the other arm. We were all forced into a wardrobe which just barely fit five people and was very cramped. I watched as Don was forced to his knees by the revolution forces, believing that he was Crystal. A woman with short red hair wearing an outfit that looked like a horse rider would wear, started yelling at Don about Crystals crimes then said something about an execution at daybreak. I grabbed Crystals hand, who looked like she was about to go out there and stop them from doing this. She looked scared. Once the soldiers and Don were gone, we finally came out.
"Aqua? What did they mean by execution? They aren't going to kill him, are they?" I asked as Crystal knelt down and cradled a broken picture which had her and Don in it. Aqua and Ven looked at each other and Harry let out a whimper. I glanced at Harry with a concerned frown. His eyes seemed to be glowing.
"They're going to kill him! I-isn't there anything we can do? Wait! Crystal, where are you going?" Harry called. She didn't listen so we were forced to follow her. She led us to a square which a ton of people had gathered to. The was a device, which if I remember correctly was called a guillotine, set up in the middle of the square.
"Guys!" Sally yelled from behind us. We turned to see her, Nick, Alex, Tony, Sandra, and Camelia, along with a few unfamiliar people running towards us. We turned back to Crystal. She looked like she was trying to find Don. Then the people begun yelling in anger and excitement, some even screaming "down with the queen!", which had Crystal looking towards the guillotine. Don stood on the platform with two guards keeping him there. The woman with red hair, who we learned later was named Hailey, stood with Victor in the back and calling out the crimes of Crystal, who looked like she was starting to regret ever doing anything but there was also a black vapor, which no one could see, seeping out of her until there was nothing more. I stared back at the platform. Ven had put Harry down so he was standing with me in front of him and Aqua. Don was lying down with his head beneath the blade. He was asked if he had any last words, I never heard what he said but it made Crystal gasp and tears appear in her eyes and the crowd roar in fury.
-(AN: Possible Trigger warning. Read at your own risk) -Then I saw Hailey swing her arm and time seemed to slow. I saw the blade swing down, Crystal gasping in horror and tears beginning to slip down her face. I heard Ven and Aqua yell at Harry and I not to look and then I saw blood and the headless body of Don. I started hyperventilating and thought I heard a thump next to me. As everything faded to black, all I could think was when did I drop to the floor?
- (AN: End of Trigger warning.) -
I woke up feeling like I was moving. I groaned as I opened my eyes. I was on Aqua's back. I looked to my right to see Ven, who had an unconscious Harry on his back. Melody was sitting on Ven's shoulder, letting out an occasional whine as she glanced at him. I heard a whine to my left and turned my head to see Chocolate staring up at me from Crystal's arms, who was walking beside Aqua, sniffling occasionally.
"Aqua? Where are we going?" I asked softly. Aqua glanced at me from over her shoulder. She had a relieved expression.
"Don apparently had a friend who owns a place outside the kingdom. He apparently asked her to house Crystal and the others there. We are going over there now."
"Oh." We were silent for the rest of the trip. We stopped as we admired a little cottage, with two others behind it, that rested near the ocean. It looked quite peaceful. We went towards the cottages to see some people waiting out front of them. The unfamiliar people who were with Sally and her group went to the people standing out front before turning to us. Sarah and the others ran over to the group. From the way some of them were hugging, I'm guessing that they were probably their families. Then they also turned to us. The person who stepped forward was a woman with long white hair that was tied up in a ponytail. She had on a black and white nuns' outfit and looked vaguely familiar. I frowned at her until it suddenly hit me. She was the same woman who was hanging around Ally when we met her. She introduced herself as Malory White. Sally told us that she was Dons friend and the one who owned the cottages we would be staying in. Then she told us that we could talk in the morning after we had gotten some rest from our long journey there. Aqua thanked her and told her that we would be leaving in the morning since we had somewhere, we had to be. Malory nodded and everyone parted ways for the night. Malory led us to a room with four beds.
"I hope this is to your liking. I do not unfortunately have enough rooms for you each to get your own." She said.
"Don't worry about it. It makes it a lot easier to keep an eye on these two to make sure everything is okay." Aqua said. Malory nodded, bid us goodnight and left the room to go do her own thing. Ven walked over to one of the beds and laid Harry down on it, who groaned. We all frowned at him. His face was pale white.
"Do you think this has anything to do with his powers?" Ven asked quietly. Aqua shrugged as I walked over and gently lifted one of eyelids to take a look at his eye. There was a very faint glow, but it wasn't as bright as it was when we went to try to save Don from his unfortunate fate. I shivered.
"I'm not entirely sure. It might be since it seems like his eyes are glowing but its so faint right now, I really can't tell. It seemed to be bright enough during the vision for a person to tell that something was wrong. I didn't connect the two until now to be honest. I think we should go to Hogwarts after we leave here and maybe explain it to the headmaster. Although we may want to call Merlin and see if Dumbledore would be someone, he would recommend we talk to. But I can't think of anyone else other than Merlin who can help." I spoke softly, brushing Harrys bangs back from his forehead. Aqua turned to Ven, who nodded. Then they both turned to me.
"I guess well go to Hogwarts then. Well talk to Dumbledore, without telling him fully about Harry's powers. We can see if he would have known anything about anyone else having something similar happen to them." Aqua said softly. Van and I nodded.
"For now, you two go to sleep. I'm going to stay up a little bit longer so I can work on something to carry your animals in." Aqua stated. Once again, Ven and I nodded, and we went to bed. We ended up staying an extra week since it took Aqua a little longer than expected to create a carrier for Chocolate and Melody. On the final night of our stay, I heard someone moving about after everyone else had already gone to sleep. I quietly got up from the bed, glancing at where Harry was sleeping before going outside the room. I saw Crystal heading to the door. I followed her, curious as to what she was doing up, Then as we neared the beach, me staying far enough away that I could see her but she couldn't see me, I saw that she was holding a little bottle with a piece of paper in it. I frowned, wondering what she could be doing with it. She stopped at the shoreline, her feet in the water, and proceed to throw the bottle.
"Please take this little wish and pass it along. I'm sorry Don! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do anything! I didn't want you to die!" She continued to sob her apologies as she fell to her knees. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looking back, I saw Aqua, Ven, Sally, Nick and Malory all standing behind me as they watched the poor girl sob out apologies.
"I was wondering when she was actually going to start mourning Don. I guess she secretly was doing it without anyone knowing." Sally whispered.
"She's been doing this same thing for a week. I don't think she even fully expects a response. I've never seen her like this." Nick whispered back. Malory had an unreadable look on her face, and I turned back to Crystal, feeling sorry. I knew at least a little bit about loosing a twin. It was painful. I can't even imagine what would happen if I actually lost Harry, especially in the way Crystal lost her own. And to make things worse, from what Sally told me, Don never told Crystal he was her twin brother, so she lost her brother the same day she found out he was her twin. I would be feeling devasted too. As I watched Crystal, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, a flash of blond hair in a ponytail. My eyes widened with realization as Nick gasped. He almost called out to her when I snapped my hand over his mouth, watching the scene with anticipation. Don came up behind Crystal and hugged her from behind. He whispered something to her then suddenly was being pulled back by something. Crystal let out a desperate cry as she reached out to her brother only for him to completely disappear. She fell to her knees as she wailed. All of us had tears filling our eyes as we watched the girl wail uncontrollably. Then, Sally and Nick ran over to her and wrapped their arms around her, all crying at the loss of their friend and brother. Malory went towards the group as Aqua, Ven and myself stayed behind. It was not our place to be with them. We barely knew Don, even if he quickly became our friend and the moment, they were sharing felt almost too…. intimate for us to disturb it. Aqua and Ven put their arms around my shoulders and led me inside. Harry was still asleep.
"Get some rest you two. We'll be leaving tomorrow when we wake up to head to Hogwarts." Ven and I nodded and the three of us went to bed. I woke the next morning to find Aqua, Ven and Harry all still passed out. I got up and went out into the kitchen, were Malory and Crystal were cooking breakfast, Crystal more helping with the simpler items than the more complicated stuff since she was still learning how to cook after having servant to do it for her entire life.
"Oh. Hello Emma. Would you like to help out?" Malory asked from the stove.
"Sure. How can I be of service?" I asked. Malory smiled at me.
"Why don't you set the tables for everyone?" I nodded and set out the utensils we would need to eat. When I was done, I went back to watch Malory and Crystal cook.
"Will you bring this to your older sister? It is for your younger brother." Malory asked. I didn't correct her on the sibling stuff since Aqua and Ven might as well be my older siblings and Harry actually was my younger brother. I took the bowl of porridge back to the room, where Aqua and Ven seemed to have just gotten up and were almost packed and ready to leave.
"Malory made Harry some porridge and she is making breakfast with Crystal. I think it should be done by the time we finish feeding Harry the porridge." Aqua nodded and took the bowl. Ven and I helped her gently feed Harry the porridge. Once we were done, we left Harry in the room with Chocolate and Melody, who had decided to curl up with him. We entered the kitchen and dining area to see Malory and Crystal setting the last food item on the table and Sally and Nick enter the cottage. We sat down to eat with them.
"I am guessing you are leaving today?" Sally said quietly. We nodded.
"We need to head home and see if anyone might know what is wrong with my brother since he might be afflicted by something that is common in my town." I said softly. They nodded and we ate the rest in silence. Apparently, the rest of Sally and Nick's crew were currently busy and unable to come to breakfast and were too busy to see us off. We finished eating and after helping them with washing the dishes, Aqua and Ven went back to the room while I headed outside with Malory, Crystal, Nick and Sally. Chocolate came running at me and jumped into my arms. He had a cute little collar on. I looked up to see Aqua leaving the house, Ven following her out shortly after with Harry on his back and Melody on his shoulder. Apparently, she enjoyed the position. Then they came over to me. Melody also had on a cute collar.
"The collars will react with your armor and create a little ride on that will carry them with you when we travel." Aqua whispered to me. I nodded and we turned to the other four.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Aqua said to Malory, who gave her a kind smile.
"It was my pleasure."
"Thank you for trying to help my brother. I really appreciate it. I wish things hadn't gone the way that they did but I know Don would have been sad to see you leave. I'll miss you." Crystal said with a small, sad smile. I smiled back at her.
"I'm sorry we weren't able to save him. But I know he's proud of you Crystal. I hope you two will meet again someday." I said. She smiled wistfully.
"Yeah. Me too."
"Well all miss you guys." Sally said. Nick nodded from beside her.
"If you guys are ever back in the area, please feel free to drop by. We'd love to see you again." He said. Crystal and Sally smiled and nodded beside him.
"If you are ever in the area and need a place to stay, my rooms will be open." Malory stated.
"Thank you. For everything. We'll be sure to stop by if we are ever in the area." Ven said.
"Goodbye!" Everyone said. Then we left the world. My little glider had a little compartment which I could see Chocolate staring out of with fascination at everything. I glance towards were Ven was to see him on his glider with Harry on his back. He was in a little compartment type thing too and Melody was looking out at everything too. I heard Harry let out a little grunt of pain. I frowned before glancing at Aqua.
"Let's go. We should get to Hogwarts. Maybe the snow outside Hogsmeade might help him a bit." I called to her. She nodded and we headed out towards Hogwarts. We made it and landed just outside the city. We had just switched from our armor as Harry's eyes shot open. I gave Ven a look and he put Harry down on his feet. Harry then fell to his knees and promptly vomited into the snow. What the hell did he just see?
