Kingdom Hearts / Harry Potter Crossover
Alternative Tri-wizard Tournament – Task 1 -
"AND NOW! THE FOURTH CHAMPION! APPEARED IN A BLINDING LIGHT IN THE GREAT HALL ONCE HIS NAME EXITED THE GOBLET OF FIRE! HARRRY POTTEEER!" Ludo Bagman called out, pleased by the cheering of the crowd.
"Ufufufu! What a cute group of adoring fans do we have here," a male voice said with a soft laugh and silk-like tone of voice.
What came out was a young man covered in a black elegant robe, his hair slicked back and with blazing green eyes that were looking at the Hungarian Horntail in amusement, a raven was perched on his shoulder.
"YOUR TIME STARTS NOW, MISTER POTTER!" Bagman said, the Sonorus Charm having problems contrasting the cheering of the public.
"Yes, I am aware of that, thank you," the boy said, summoning in a flash of greenish flames a black staff with a small globe of glass on the top.
"Noctis, my dear! Please take distance, God forbid if something happens to you, I may be devastated," Harry said to the raven, making the animal nod and fly to safety in the stands.
"Shall we start? My friends are eager to try your flesh for their dinner," he then said, slamming the base of his staff on the terrain, making his shadow grow wide enough to cover the whole floor of the arena.
"What is he doing?" Bagman asked with a shiver.
"A present from my mother, she gave me him just in case I needed further protection, I'll have him deal with this little pest while I take that shiny egg, an Heartless too needs to play from time to time. Come, Darkside!" the young man answered, his huge shadow gaining two big glowing eyes and an heart-shaped hole in its middle before rising from the terrain to take physical form.
Darkside was a massive, muscular, humanoid creature with black skin dwarfing in height even the dragon.
Its legs were rather short and its feet very thin and curling upward while its arms were quite long.
As the creature shook his body from what would have been "sleep" two relatively small, twisted wings on its back opened, its head was covered in dozens of twisted, black tentacles.
"Take care of the lizard, mind you?" Harry asked with a bored voice, lazily lifting his staff to summon a shield and protect himself from the dragon's fire.
Nodding at its Master, Darkside punched the terrain, creating a pool of living shadows from where small version of himself started surfacing, once out in the open, the newly born Shadows charged as a swarm of insects the Horntail, making the dragon scream in pain as their sharp claws were tearing to pieces even its diamond-hard scales.
"Be quiet fool, my ears are sensitive," Harry said with a frown, thrusting his staff towards the dragon he launched a javelin of green flames, cutting off one of the massive wings of the beast, relinquishing with an happy smile in the dragon's screams of pain.
"I have the egg, Darkside...and I am still waiting to see the dragon die," the boy said annoyed.
Nodding once again, the Giant creature crossed its arms in front of the heart-shaped hole in its chest, gathering dark energy in it before launching an huge sphere of darkness towards the dragon, obliterating most of its body until barely the low half remained.
"Good, take its heart, you earned it," Harry said, burning with a wave of green flames the remains of the beast.
"This should stop a Nobody from surfacing," he then muttered as his raven familiar returned to him.
While the judges were giving him full points, mostly scared to see him call once again the giant creature that after "absorbing" the dragon's heart had once again returned in his shadow, the young man neared a platinum haired girl that was looking at him intently.
"Your name?" Harry asked.
"Fleur, Fleur Delacour," she answered.
"Énchanté!" he said, kissing her hand with a deep bow.
"You used some dark Magic, don't you?" she asked, switching to French with a sort of relieved expression at using her Language.
"The arts of Magic are numerous and each one taking a different path, one may say a spell is dark and evil while another will catalog it in the light and good, reality just follows the ideals of whoever is watching" he answered with a chuckle.
"Who taught you? You disappeared years ago and yet here you are battling a dragon by summoning giants of shadows," Fleur said with a curious tone.
"Ufufufu! My dear, I simply was taught by a woman whose heart was consumed by Darkness, that is true, but this doesn't mean I will do the same, she is actually very protective of me, thing that in itself never cease to surprise whoever see her," Harry answered.
"What now?" she asked.
"I planned to have a little tour of this place during the Tournament I was so forcefully added into, mind keeping company to me?" the young man said, presenting his arm.
"Are you going to corrupt me?" the part Veela asked.
"I will just "corrupt you" as much as you want me, my dear, after all...Lust itself is still considered Dark, but this doesn't mean that from pure Pleasure of the flesh Love can't be born all the same," He answered with a charming smile.
"I don't know why, but I find myself eager to test this theory of yours," the girl purred with a devious smile.
"I hope I will measure up, then," Harry said with a chuckle.
"It will all depend on how powerful your...staff...will be," she said teasingly.
"Oh, my! Is that a challenge?" he answered with a smirk.
"Who knows?" was the answer of the jokingly smiling girl.
Second Task -
The young man was watching the cold water of the Black Lake in contempt, turning his head towards the school Headmaster he shoot him a sneer.
"I can imagine not using Miss Fleur for this task since she is also a Champion, but I fail to see why this...Miss Deasley?...was used for my hostage," Harry asked.
"Yes, I also wizh to know," Fleur asked with an irritated frown.
"Harry...you are dealing with Dark arts, you need a Light family like the Weasley to bring you back on the right path, Miss Weasley will help you understand the meaning of Good and Justice," Albus answered with his infamous grand-fatherly tone.
"My knowledge being Dark or not is nothing of your concern, old man, as I said to your dear Potion Master when he tried to bully me into respecting him for some kind of "superiority" he thought he had over me, I do not bow to the whims of the others, that's why I blasted both his arms away and forever locked his mind in and endless nightmare made from his greatest regrets," the young man answered with a growl.
"Harry...who was that woman that taught you? Who was the responsible of plunging your heart so deep in Darkness?" the Headmaster asked sadly.
"Who? Ufufufufu! She was the real Mistress of the Dark Arts, not an amateur like your so called Voldemort, you even tried to erase her existence from history in fear of her possible return, well, she still managed to come back to life with a new collection of tricks, someone like her can't be killed by a simple sword or some poison, Darkness IS her home...and by the way, Light and Dark are not so different, both are able to do Great Good and Great Evil at the same time, the world is not neatly divided in Black and White like you so wish it to be, Order comes from the existence of both, completely removing Darkness will only bring Chaos...and THAT is something you really should wish it would never happen," Harry answered.
"Who was her?" the old man asked again, slightly worried by the woman's description.
"You people know her as Maleficent, remember her, Headmaster?" the young man said, making the older members of the audience gasp in horror.
"No...not her..." Albus muttered with wide eyes.
"Her indeed, old man, now...I think both me and Fleur have two hostages to save, isn't it?" Harry asked.
"Oui! But ze vater zeems so cold," Fleur said.
"Let me deal with it for you as well then, my dear." the other said, rising his staff and slamming it on the water of the Lake.
In an instant, a thundering explosion of green fire engulfed the Lake and from under the water a dozen of new Heartless surfaced, sleek in form, they had finned feet to assist them in gliding through the water, they were wearing elaborate helmets shaped like a fish with its gaping jagged mouth serving as the helmet's eye slot as well as the angular spiral black eyes of the helmet and the sinister glowing yellow eyes of the Heartless itself, giving them a fierce and lethal appearance together wit their dark green clawed hands also holding a sharp-looking trident weapon.
"They are Screwdivers, those dear Heartless will fetch both our hostages, killing every life-form fool enough to try and stop them," Harry said with a satisfied smile.
"My sister is down there, remember, tell zem to be careful," Fleur asked.
"Is she as beautiful as you?" he asked back.
"Yes she is, she also told me that she wished to try your "staff" herself as soon as possible," she answered with a smirk.
"Isn't she too young for that?" Harry asked.
"For a Veela age is not a problem, she is twelve now, in two years she will be "mature" enough to start exploring her body, and she wish to explore yours as well," Fleur answered.
"Who am I to deny your requests then?" the young man said with a chuckle, turning towards the Heartless with an hard glare.
"You heard her, bring me both her sister and that red-haired girl I am supposed to save, but pay attention, should harm come to Gabrielle, I WON'T be pleased, now go!" he ordered, making the creatures dive rapidly underwater with the other two Champions.
"What will happen to ze other two?" Fleur asked.
"Not my concern, as long as both boys don't interfere with their mission, my Heartless won't attack them," Harry answered.
While the two were talking, a large pool of blood started getting larger on the top of the water, as minutes passed in silence the water slowly turned red, until the various Heartless resurfaced, two holding Gabrielle with the same amount of attention one would reserve to a statue of pure crystal while the Weasley girl was just tossed on the shore rather unceremoniously, the other two Champions soon followed, both with a traumatized expression on their faces.
"What happened?" Albus asked.
"Headmaster...ehm...I think that you'll need to ship here new merpeople...and a giant squid too if you want to continue to use the Lake as an attraction," Hogwarts Champion Cedric Diggory said, shaking heavily.
"What do you mean, my boy?" the Headmaster asked, REALLY worried.
"Zhose things had just exterminated everyzhing down there but us...I never zaw all that blood in one place," a very pale Viktor Krum said.
"What a pity, every time I summon the Screwdrivers they end up doing more damages than necessary, forgive me, I am usually more in control of collateral damages," Harry said with a little bow, taking Gabrielle's hand and accompany both her and Fleur back to their carriage, neither of the three noticing that they stepped on the still unconscious Ginny Weasley, still face-down in the mud of the shore.
"Maybe I am getting too Old for this job," Albus said with a whine.
Third Task -
"FINALLY! I finally have my body back!" Voldemort said in triumph.
"You are one ugly creature, you know?" Harry said simply, smiling as his bindings went undone.
"You won't laugh once I will have dealt with you, boy," the Dark Lord answered with narrowed eyes.
"Huhuhuhu! So you should be this so called "Dark Lord" my heir is destined to kill? I find it quite insulting that he should be forced to stain himself with such a low creature's blood," A silky female voice said in utter amusement mixed with annoyance.
"Who's there?" Voldemort asked angrily as a barrier was summoned around the graveyard stopping him and his Death Eaters from escaping.
"I was the one to talk, pitiful pest," the same voice answered, showing herself being a woman with a greyish skin and wearing a long black Gothic-looking dress, a tall staff in her hands and a raven similar to Harry's own on top of it glaring at the humans there.
Near her was a tall anthropomorphic cat wearing what seemed to be armor colored in shades of blue and purple overtop a red, short-sleeved shirt with a vertical pink stripe descending from the neck, navy blue and white sneakers with light blue fronts and two periwinkle straps keeping each one secure, navy blue pants with light blue lining, purple lower legs, and two enormous pouches on either front side.
He was also wearing a pair of fingerless gauntlets whose wrists were light blue with a pale yellow semi-circle on top.
"Pete, deal with the followers and please be sure they will be still alive, I want to see what kind of Heartless we can create from their stained hearts," the woman ordered.
"As you wish, Maleficent." Pete answered with a wide grin, cracking his knuckles in anticipation.
"Mother, Why you came here? This fool is not worth your time after all," Harry said surprised.
"I came to know about the young woman you supposedly "love" I am just worried to see you become one of those "heroes" that usually throw their lives away for some silly mission for the Greater Good," Maleficent answered.
"Love did not make me a fool, Mother, Fleur is more interested in our Arts than what people may think, her kind, the Veela, can subconsciously recognize the strongest male in their vicinity and feel attracted towards them, I just so happen to be powerful AND smart enough to attract both her human and Veela side," Harry answered.
"We'll see, I won't accept a weakling just because you feel your desire rise when with her," Maleficent said with a dismissive wave of her hand and an uncaring tone.
"I am honored to have the greatest Dark Witch of all time in front of me, had I know Potter was your beloved heir, I would have reserved him a welcome befitting of someone of his caliber," Voldemort said with a mellifluous voice, all of them ignoring the cries of help the Death Eaters were letting out as Pete was pounding them to dust.
"Do you really think that empty words of adulation will make me forget the fact that you STOLE the blood of my heir?" Maleficent asked, her eyes narrowing imperceptibly.
"My lady, it was just a small sacrifice for me to be reborn, me and you both will be great rulers for this pathetic world, cleansing the unworthy while the strong will bow at our feet," the man answered with a sickening smile.
"Ruling this world? Yes...doing it with you? No, I am a strong independent woman and I don't like to share, I'll just take over while you will discover how "Painful" is drowning in Darkness, unfortunately for you, having those "anchors" as you call them will just drag the torture for the rest of the Eternity, but at least I will have fun watching you scream in agony forever, you will be my perfect form of entertainment, HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Maleficent said, with a wide thrust of her staff a pit of endless darkness engulfed Voldemort, dragging the screaming man down until the Abyss closed over him.
"What now, mother?" Harry asked.
"Now? Now we will take this world for us and see how much will take before some Heroes will try and stop us, but from what I saw here, even their best won't be a great challenge, as long we can keep that pesky Keyblade away from us, everything will be okay," the woman answered, taking her, Harry and Pete away from the Graveyard in a flash of green flames.
Epilogue -
To Maleficent, a proper Dark Witch, only took one single year to take control of the whole world, Harry had during that time married Fleur and signed a marriage contract for Gabrielle as well for when the girl will reach her eighteen birthday.
When several years later the Keyblade holder finally reached them, Harry stood to the side to watch the fight unfold, and once both Hero and Maleficent had been mortally wounded he stepped in from the shadow to kill the boy and his two friends, taking the Keyblade for himself and corrupting it with his own Darkness.
As Maleficent watched with a sickening smile her beloved heir slain her enemies, she was surprised but then overjoyed when he also plunged the blade in her own darkened heart.
Praising her son, having finally recognized him as such, for learning the "final lesson" (never share power with someone more powerful than you if you are not ready to thrust a knife in their back in their moment of weakness) she left him her staff and the ruling of that world, declaring him her true heir and finally accepting death with a serene smile on her face, truly happy for the first time on her life.
"What will you do now?" Fleur had asked.
"As I said years ago, Equilibrium is what is truly important, my mother brought Chaos here by covering everything in absolute Darkness, by killing her and the Keyblade Hero I did both Good and Bad, form here I will repair the damages she has done and see if I can be the sole ruler of this place without being a too evil dictator," he answered.
"But still a dictator," she had countered with a smirk.
"What can I say, Power excites me," he answered with a laugh.
A new Dark Ruler will rise from that, controlling the world with an iron fist, but with also a strong sense of justice.
