Hey everyone,
This is it. This is one of those chapters that actually have quite a bit of content changed. I had to change the whole thing with Harry realizing where he saw Maleficent as well as other bits – such as his knowledge on the Pirates franchise – and I even got the chance to add a little bit of extra content to the end of this chapter – which I loved.
Check it out,

Chapter 17
The Hour Of Union

28th of January 1996
Destiny's Haven
Harry's POV

These last few minutes have been nothing but amazing. Mum and Lea have met, mum has been discovered to have a Keyblade of his own, Lea has given me a set of cloths that are too beautiful to be real and all of my closest loved ones have actually given their acceptance to a long since hidden, personal desire of mine.
It had actually started halfway through last year at the Yule Ball. Not only had I felt slightly suffocated in the dress robes I had been given by Mrs. Weasley, I had felt out of place leading Parvati on the dance floor and felt awkward whenever another girl had asked me to dance, most of their eyes gazing at my scar instead of my eyes.
The only good thing about the entire evening had been the fact that I had felt that Ron and I really were in the same boat in regard to the feast itself and that the seats we had taken for ourselves had allowed me to get a proper look at all the gorgeous females in the room, which had slowly but surely made me jealous of them.
Once I had realized the amount of jealousy that I felt inside of me, it had scared me enough I had excused myself and left for the outdoors. There, I had been interrupted from my musings about my emotions and desires by first Professor Snape and later Hagrid and Madam Maxime, yet it had made me realize something.

One of the reasons I was jealous of all those girls was because of how they looked in their chosen dresses. Another was that, if they made themselves look pretty, they would get the kind of attention I wanted, instead of the attention my scar always got me. The final was that they all looked as if they were happy being who they were.
Naturally, by the end of the night, Ron and Hermione had proven me that there were downsides to being as beautiful and enchanting as the ladies of the evening had shown themselves, yet my mind had been set. I would go through Hogwarts as Harry Potter, but my graduation, the famous hero would come to a nasty accident.
And from that accident, a very distant cousin, belonging to a branch of Vernon Dursley and his sister's line or something, would find her way to the funeral of her favorite cousin, grieve over her loss and take his place in society to keep his and his family name strong. And no one would ever know this female – was Harry Potter.

Yet now, my secret desires have been uncovered by Lady Destiny and my destined mate and has been given green light by both said mate as well as my parents and even my brother and his own mate and just by looking around do I know we all share one common thought; the excited desire of seeing what I will look like when female.
This thought really makes me very, very happy and while being careful with the light fabric of the gorgeous dress – which I know I will be wearing a lot once I have changed – do I walk over to the six-seated table, the others following and dad, Riku and Lea showing themselves for the gentlemen mum, Sora and I know they are.
We all sit down and dad says: "Well, that sure was an interesting start of the hour we'll have together." And while I can tell that neither mum nor Lea like the idea that it'll only be an hour, do I personally just smile at them, while one of my hands plays with the loose fabric that now surrounds my legs under the table.

Dad then turns to mum and asks: "What's going on at London?" But while Lea seems confused over this question, does dad turn grim and say: "Nothing, other than that your hag of a mother will never darken its doorstep with her screeching or her vile plans again. And I intend to ensure the same with Kreacher when I get back."
And while I am shocked that the man seems so determined to do everything he and mum had been so scared to do when my age, does dad happily smile and say: "I still think it way wicked that you actually took her down. I actually thought of doing such a thing with Bill myself, yet Gringotts always kept him a little too busy.
I discussed it with him, but he told me he just didn't have enough expertise in putting up and taking down protective fire wards in the period of time I would need to take that dumb portrait down." To this Lea asks: "Wait, portrait?" To which I share a glance with my parents and ask: "How would you guys like to see our magic?"

The trio nods with excitement and I ask: "Dad, care for a duel? I've been preparing for that before the third task, you know, and – well." Here I hold silent, the memory of Cedric falling to his death by the Killing curse flashing before my eyes, yet dad nods and says: "Time for some new memories." Making me smile and nod.
I then take a deep breath and focus my gaze on the table as I had left my wand and other things back in my long black jacket upstairs in my bedroom and my holy wand appears before me on the table before I pick it up and move over to a large part of the room that dad emptied of any other furniture or possible equipment.

I stand before him and send him a single look which says: "Nothing official." The man sends me a small nod and I instantly shoot my first spell at him, the man blocking it before making a twist on his axis, which is obviously meant to distract me from the spell he sends my way, yet I just take my skirt in hand and twist out of the way.
Dad then starts firing and while hating it, do I just keep the skirt in hand and slightly raised as I dodge and twist out of the way of the spell work, not speaking any other words bar the spells I shoot whenever he misses and forcing him to move around as much as me, though he does use shield spells more often than I.
Then suddenly something happens that makes me absolutely horrified as my left foot slips over the right side of my dress and while praying for the dress not to tear in the fall, do I land on my side, the others yelping yet before dad can respond with any kind of victory fire, do I reach deep inside and shout only a single spell:

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

And the spell itself, bright in power and obviously fueled by my desperate need not to let dad get the upper hand or cause any damage to my new dress, shoots for the shocked man and hits him so hard he actually gets shot back and hits the other side of the room with a harsh slam that instantly shocks me out of my adrenaline rush.
I quickly use a spell to lift myself up again and rush for the man along with Sora and mum, yet dad, who had slid down the wall after hitting it, easily gets back up and shakes his head before sending me, mum and Sora a reassuring smile before he says: "Good job, kiddo, just – try not to become too dependent on that one."
At this I nod and Sora summons his Keyblade as he mutters: "Cura." And dad breaths a sigh of relief as he feels the leafs and flower petals flow over him before he says: "Now that's a healing spell that Poppy's healing magic can't tip on, that's for sure." Before Riku says: "And that's not even the strongest of the three."

Making us look at him as he and Lea are still seated and after we all take our seats, does Lea hand me the same small cube as the one Sora had been taking while keeping Simba into the room, yet I smile at him and say: "Thanks, but we don't deplete in magical quantities that quickly. I'd rather have one of your potions, though."
The man seems shocked that I am still good on magic, but nods and Riku says: "There sure are a lot of differences between our and their magic." To which my mate nods as he hands me the small bottle and I happily take my first sip, my eyes widening as the drink tastes the same as a bottle of water, yet I can taste an underlying taste of power in it.
Feeling the underlying form of magic swirl through me as I take the drink, do I feel amazed as the bottle vanishes from my hand once I have downed it and then I ask: "So, should we do some of the things we said we would? Like find out what worlds are movies for my world and seeing if we can help you catch up on our magic?"

To this Lea gets wide eyed and dad says: "We discovered that someone named Walt Disney was actually a Seer with the ability to gaze into your Universe. He just never made movies out of you, Sora or Riku for his own reasons, but he made a huge selection of others as well and so far we have discovered a few of them. Lady Destiny also said that you lot and your stories would become a video game one day, but we get to see it as a movie in the theater there."
"Which ones did you discover?" Lea asks and I answer: "The Lion King, Aladdin and Bambi. Oh, and Donald and Goofy, but those were more often than not co-stars in shared movies." The man nods and asks: "Are there any others?" To which I shrug and say: "I don't know, Disney has over a 100 movies, but I'm not sure they're all connected. Some theorists definitely think so and there are even small bits of evidence which they call Easter eggs in certain movies."
The others seem shocked that there are that many and then Sora says: "You know what? I think I should make a summary of all the worlds I traveled in my second journey and then Harry can tell me if those worlds were turned into movies." The others nod, all those around me highly curious and Sora hums as he says:

"I started in Twilight town where I met Hayner, Pence and Olette." Yet at this I shake my head and my brother nods as he says: "Then I met Yen Sid and the three good fairies." This makes me tilt my head and Lea smirks as he says: "Did you not check your bags properly, Sora? I'm pretty sure I packed that outfit alongside a few others. Why don't you go put that on?"
Sora looks at this thoughtfully and then Riku whispers something in his ear that instantly makes my older brother dash for the staircase up his own bedroom. Already I feel I know what Riku told Sora and the silver-haired boy smirks before indeed changing into the form he took on when he and Sora had their fight on the day we all arrived here.
Lea raises his eyebrow at this and Riku shrugs as he says: "Apparently Sora first fell for me when I took on this look. And who am I to deny my mate what he likes?" Lea and mum snicker at this and a little while later does Sora come down. Yet he is actually still wearing the same shirt and pants he wore when going up.
"Sora, what happened?" Riku asks and Sora answers: "The same as what happened when I was asleep for a year; the cloths no longer fit. They're too small, even with how baggy they are." We all snicker at this and dad says: "I'm sure I could use a good resizing charm on it later, if you want." Sora nods at this and retakes his seat, still shining brightly when he sees Riku in his outfit next to him.

"What did you do next?" Mum asks, pulling Sora away from starring at Riku and the boy says: "I left for my first new world and ended up in the Land of Dragons where I met Ping, who was actually a girl named Mulan and who –.""Saved China of the Hun Army. That's both – wow, the Mulan of your world has an ancestor with similar history back in my world."
I then end in shock and the others look at me shocked before I shake my head and ask on, to which Sora hums and says: "After that I got reacquainted with Beast and after that with Hercules, who had been forced through endless battles by the Lord of the Dead, Hades. Bastard even destroyed the Coliseum to booth."
To this my parents get wide eyed as they must be recognizing the same signs as I am and I say: "Beast I think I know as there was once a movie named after him called Beauty and the Beast. Hercules, however, is like Mulan. He has both a movie named after him as he is known to our world through the Ancient Greek Myths."

"How many movies are based on your world's history anyway?" Riku asks and I shrug as I say: "Not really sure. I just really started looking into all those Disney movies after that one movie day back at Primary and because my research was always in the library was I usually able to do that without Dudley bothering me. But then one day Dudley started causing all sorts of trouble outside of the library and blamed it on me, so the librarian banned us both."
The others roll their eyes at this and while I don't like having to mention people I now know I am not related to, do I then ask: "Did you stop there?" To which Sora laughs and says: "Heck no, my second journey was my longest. I visited more worlds in that journey than I did any other. And some I even visited twice or trice."
I nod and then motion him to continue as he says: "Well, after that Donald, Goofy and I got called – oh wait, I visited Hollow Bastion, which is now known as Radiant Garden, before I met Mulan. Sorry." I shrug and say: "It's okay, neither of those worlds sound familiar." To which Lea smirks playfully and asks:
"Really now? What a bummer, that's where I grew up." To which I decide to show him just what kind of mate he bonded himself to as I smirk back and say: "That explains it then." Shocking the redhead and making the others laugh at his dumbfounded look before I again ask Sora with a single gaze to continue his recap.

My brother nods and says: "Well, after Herc, Donald, Goofy and I were called back to their own homeworld and there we found a portal to the actual past, which Maleficent and Pete had been messing with to change Disney Castle into a world of Darkness, yet we managed to beat Pete and change the past back to how it was."
This makes me sigh in relief, the memory of what Hermione told me back at the end of my third having come back as I listened and I say: "Good, and I'm guessing Pete is a large dog like creature with muscles hidden under a rotund body of fat." The two boys nod and I nod as I say: "Know him, same as Donald and Goofy."
Which doesn't seem to surprise my brother at all and he goes on: "Well, after that I came to a world that was centered around a port-based town and the open sea where I met a woman named Elisabeth, a man named Will and – the strangest, craziest and still most dedicated pirate I have ever met named Captain Jack Sparrow – don't ask."

At this I nod and say: "I heard about that one. It's actually part of this whole set of movies, though a large group of people only like the first one. Pirates of the Caribbean, I believe. The first one concerns something about a stolen ancient treasure that, unless returned to the trove and having been given a small sacrifice of blood, will forever hunt the thieving crew."
Sora nods and says: "Exactly yeah. And trust me, Barbossa himself is one thing, but have him work together with a power-hungry bastard like Pete and you got your hands full." To this I nod and the boy says: "Anyway, after that I went to four other worlds and in three of them the magic of the world actually changed me."
This shocks us and dad asks: "Changed you? How?" To which Sora smiles and says: "Well, in Atlantica I get a dolphin fin, in Halloween Town I become a half vampire, in Christmas Town, which is in the same world as Halloween town, I keep that form, but get more of a Santa like outfit and in the Pride Lands I become a lion cub."

This shocks us and while Sora sends another glare Riku's way, obviously remembering what he had said earlier about Riku making him no longer believe in Santa, does James mutter: "A world that can give and take you the abilities of a vampire. I think I've officially heard everything there." To which dad and I nod in agreement.
I then hum and say: "I'm quite confident that Atlantica belongs to the movie the Little Mermaid and has a mermaid named Ariel in it, Halloween and Christmas town sound like the movie Nightmare Before Christmas with a character known as the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington as the hero and we already confirmed that Pride Lands is Lion King during the reading, right?"
Sora smiles as he nods at me and says: "Full score. All are correct, though Ariel has turned human by now and has joined with her prince. Donald, Goofy and I actually helped her with that when we were there and we learned a lot of songs as well as how to dance while under water. Trust me, that was not easy to learn."
"Was that it?" Mum then asks and Sora nods as he says: "Yeah, I only went to one other world after that, but that world is linked to Twilight Town, so I doubt you'll know about it. Plus, it was the homeworld of the biggest problem we faced that journey, so speaking of it will probably spoil the second movie."

To this my parents nod, even if I know that they share in my concern to hear that my brother went up against a whole world of problems and while I wonder if the people of that world were able to travel to other worlds as well like Sora, do I instead ask: "I don't mean to be rude or ungrateful, but how much time do we have left?"
And mum quickly checks his watch as he says: "We're halfway through our given time." Making me feel a little bit sad about already being halfway through the hour we have to be together and then Sirius sighs as he asks: "I know Harry is the only one who took the potion, but – who's up for a bit of romantic dancing?"
To which instantly Riku and Lea fell me and Sora with looks of strong desire and deepest longing, making the both of us turn red and me glad I have my dress in my hands as I crunch up a bit of material between my fingers in embarrassed excitement before dad, Lea and Riku stand up and offer mum, Sora and me their hands.

Sora himself turns a little more red as he looks at mum and me, yet mum proves me that he and I really are alike as he first looks down and has the magic of the room change his cloths into a gorgeous forest green, body-fitted dress with long slit up the side of his right leg before happily taking dad's offered hand.
I, in the mean time, just send a smile Sora's way that says: "Just have fun." Before happily taking Lea's hand in my own and letting him guide me over to the empty part of the room that had earlier been used in my duel with dad and while Lea wraps his other arm back around my waist, do I see Sora and Riku joining us.
Sora has also changed his outfit to fit into the setting and his shirt and pants have been changed into a black shirt, black leather jacket with red trims and black leather set of pants with red belts at the knees. And while it may not be a form of cross dressing, does Riku seem to really appreciate it, if his large smile as he dances with my brother is anything to go by.
I turn my face back to Lea, who happily and lovingly smiles at me and he moves his head over to my ear and he whispers: "It was the outfit Sora wore during our final adventure. And you got to admit, it really does look good on him." I nod at him, but then just return my focus where it belongs and with that do I happily lose myself to sensation of dancing in Lea's arms.

Lea's POV

In the last five to six months I have seen Axel, Roxas and Isa grow closer and closer and I even caught the three of them on a date or two while just strolling through Twilight Town or having a bit of ice cream on top of the station tower. And the more this happened, the more I had to try and make my happiness for them overcome a sense of jealousy that grew within my heart.
And while I wondered for a while why this jealousy was even there, do I now understand it better than ever. My heart was preparing me for my new role – and I love it. Having Harry in my arms, having his full attention and moving him across the room on a music that isn't even being played, but is just heard by only the two of us feels better than anything I have felt in a long while.
The last time I felt this good was when I finally got my chance to reunite with Roxas and Xion during the Keyblade Graveyard and even that was slightly marred by both the war itself and the temporary destruction of my best friend Isa. But nothing and no one mars this moment I have with my new mate and I am loving every single moment of it, not even thinking about the little time I have left.

Good for you, Lea.
Yeah, I decided to add a little bit of extra text and further expand on the crazy little shipping that I decided on after watching the scenes between Isa, Lea, Roxas and Xion a few times. And not all of you might like this pairing, but I like the fact that KH III brought the friendship between teenage Isa and Lea back so wondrously at the end of the game.
Now this does not mean that there will be scenes from Axel, Roxas, Xion or Isa's POV – at least not until chapter 49 or 50 – but I do have plans for them – maybe an appearance here to there or just a mention about what they do whenever Lea is back in the KH Universe. And naturally I will expand on them whenever Sora or Riku mention them.
So yeah, let's do this,
