Harry Potter and the Gathering of Worlds
By James the Fox
"I got nothing to say… oh, wait… Nope, nothing."
Shadow rose to his feet, ready to take on the Dark Lord, Voldemort. He may not have had his Chaos Emeralds, but he was ticked. That man had brought him so close to those who mattered to him most, and to him, that was far worse than death. He glowed yellow as his chaos aura flowed around him, raging and swirling.
"Now… you will know… what real power is… and before the end… You will beg for mercy!" The aura grew stronger and Shadow launched at Voldemort, ready to rip his body apart. Thinking quickly, Voldemort summoned up a sword and shield to block the attack. As they clashed, a bunch of Death Eaters appeared, ready to aid their master. However, many were blown away seconds after they appeared by Riku, Link, and Amy. Riku and Link launched through the DE's using Twilight Aura and the Hurricane Slash, (A/N "TA will always be like Dark Aura from KH: COM, NOT the sucky one from KH2.") both enhanced with Chaos Aura. Moody came out as well, carrying Sora, who looked like he took many cutting curses, flame charms, and a harsh bludgeoning curse to his leg before being taken down.
'Knowing Sora, he must have used at least one Cure spell to keep in fighting shape, too… because I brought everyone here…' Harry thought as he got up to help fight Voldemort. This was his battle, his foe. He whipped out his wand and sent stunner after stunner at Voldemort. Voldemort dodged them with little effort, but when Dumbledore joined in on the assault, Voldemort was barely able to escape one spell without being hit by another. The battle continued a few minutes before Fudge came in, a very exasperated Umbridge following.
Harry took only a moment to remember how Charmey had scared Umbridge away. After the twins left, Charmey spoke with the poltergeist, Peeves, and formulated a plan. Shadow had created an inanimate copy of the Biolizard, which Peeves possessed. Oh, how Umbridge ran when the bloody monster chased her out the castle, right into the forest, where centaurs were waiting. She was chased all the way to Hogsmeade, where she quickly Apparated away.
In the same moment, Voldemort glanced to the minister, knowing that, as Sora might have said, the jig was up. He turned around to be face to face with the barrel of the Shadow Rifle, the Hero's Bow, and two wands. Voldemort said only two words.
"I leave."
Instantly, the Portkey around Voldemort's neck activated, warping him away before anyone had a chance to strike. Many DE's did the same, not willing to be caught. However, a Ravenclaw named Luna was able to cast Stopaga (She was the only one who had been able to advance that far in Time Magic) to keep several DE's from even moving, including Lucius Malfoy. After that, things calmed down a little, while Harry was sent to Dumbledore's office via Portkey.
Link took one last walk up and down the Hall of Prophecy. As he did, he wondered at its size, and had a thought. In a building this size, maybe there was a prophecy or two about other worlds. He looked about, but only found one:
Prophesy concerning the 'Hero of Light,' 'Hero of the 7 Chaos,' 'Hero of Winds,'
And the 'Choosing One'
By 'The First Key, Opsa' To 'Seotiad Garej'
"There shall be three souls
Their journey shall be winding
One of Light, pure and whole
One of Chaos, unruly and raging
One of Wind, masterless and free
These three, these heroes three
Shall protect the Choosing Soul
The path, the choice he makes
Once Chaos and Wind fall
May save or destroy all."
Link could only guess that the Hero of Winds was him, but if the prophecy was literal, it meant he would die as part of this prophecy. He pocketed the glass ball, and left without a word.
Meanwhile, Shadow stood in front of the Veil to Death. He wondered about it. All mortals feared this Veil, yet Shadow longed for what lied beyond it. However, the time at which he could pass through was not here yet. Not until he fulfilled his Duty, his higher purpose. Turning away, he walked back to the Main Hall.
Sora was unable to be healed safely by Curaga, so Kairi and Riku sat there in the waiting room in St Mungo's. The Healers had told them that Sora would live, but there would be many scars, including a burn scar up and down his right side. After a few hours, Kairi and Riku were allowed to see Sora. The Healers were very troubled by the number of scars on Sora, including ones from past wounds. They had asked the ridiculous question of if they knew whether Sora was a cutter or not, to which they answered that Sora had been in many battles, which shut them up. It brought Kairi to wondering: when would it end? Would Sora ever be able to live a normal life? No, not as long as he existed. As long as he existed, Sora could never be free…
"Your journey meant nothing, Sora. Because I'm still here…"
Harry hated Fate. Fate apparently hated him too. The prophecy that he had just heard most likely would rip his life apart. 'Neither can live while the other survives.' That line marked him in ways that even his scar couldn't… He returned to his room and slept, hoping that Fate would smile on him for tomorrow at least. At least Sirius was a free man…
"Finally, what I bet is the longest chapter I've written yet is finished. And I even made my own prophecy! Now I'm tired."
Shadow: "The last chapter of this year is almost upon us! FLEE! FLEE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!"
