It was the first class for Sora, Donald, and Goofy since Maleficent's unexpected calling on Halloween. The entire castle had been abuzz about what the three had done, and were beginning to formulate their own back stories as to how they knew each other. There was also the Quidditch match, which, they had learned, was decisively won by Gryffindor. They had the misfortune of staying behind to guard the castle, however, and had missed the match. Sora could just make out the lyrics of some silly song they were singing, possibly about Ron.

The students were coming in and finding their seats. As soon as they all had found their seats, the chatter died, and all eyes fell on the three "teachers."

"Well, I know we all had a busy weekend," Sora began. "Congratulations on the match Harry, Ron." He gestured to the two friends, and they smiled back. "After Halloween, we have been thinking about what to teach today."

"You don't plan it out?" The class had turned their heads, unsurprised to see that the scoff had come from Malfoy.

"Well, not exactly," started Goofy. "We just kinda go with the flow."

"Yea, you ungrateful—"

"Donald." Sora stopped the mage from saying something he might regret.

"We've heard a lot of talk around the school since the Feast. We were wondering if you guys wanted to talk about it."

Still, the class had their eyes trained on the three up front. They seemed to be clinging to their anticipation.

"Anything you want to ask?"

A hand shot towards the air. "Yes, Hermione?"

"Who exactly was that witch that sent the Heartless?" She asked.

"Her name is Maleficent," Sora began. "She's a powerful sorceress that is bent on ruling all the worlds."

The students' eyes flew wide on this statement. Not that someone was trying to gain power, but it was the phrase 'all the worlds' that caught their attention, as evidenced by their whispers to one another.

Sora knew that they weren't to speak of the other worlds. After all, it was against the World Order. But he, along with Donald and Goofy, felt it was necessary for these students to know anything they could. It was a strange world that they were in, and Dumbledore did know Master Yen Sid, so they decided that there would be no harm in telling them.

"What do you mean 'all the worlds'?" Ron finally asked, and the class again grew silent.

The three looked at one another and then Sora answered, "I think it's time that you finally heard our story."

For the next hour, Sora, Donald, and Goofy told of their adventures. From the time Destiny Islands fell into darkness; their first meeting at Traverse Town; saving the worlds by locking the keyholes; defeating Maleficent in Hollow Bastion; how Sora had once lost his heart, but then reclaimed it with Kairi's help; their defeat of Xehanort's Heartless; how they woke up one day in a mansion with no memory of falling asleep there; saving the worlds once again, but this time from Organization XIII; and finally going home with their friends.

Sora had finished off the story now looking at an awestruck group of students. After a couple of moments, Hermione's hand raised again.

"So you three are here to save our world from falling into darkness?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, Sora, er Professor," It was Harry that spoke now, "I couldn't help but notice something on Halloween. You don't seem too concerned about Maleficent, given the way that you talked to her."

"Aw, she's just an old witch with a grudge," Donald replied. "We're not scared of her."

"Donald." Sora gave the mage another stern look. Then he turned back to Harry, "It's not that we're not concerned about her, because we are. But every time she tries to destroy a world, we've been there to stop her. But lately she just wants a castle to call home, which has me worried about her bigger plans." At this he looked at his two companions, and they seemed to agree with him.

"There is still one thing I don't understand," another voice had spoken up, this one belonging to Parvati Patil. "Who was that giant blue man that appeared out of nowhere on Halloween."

"Oh, heh heh. That was just the Genie." He paused to take in the confused expressions. "Genie is someone with phenomenal cosmic powers; he may be even more powerful than Dumbledore. But he's from one of the worlds that we saved."

"So how did he get here?" Ron asked.

"I summoned him," Sora said, as if it was so obvious. "Well, you see, we've made a lot of friends in our travels. And somehow, that strong bond creates a special trinket."

Sora drew out the various necklaces from his pockets. "Genie is just one of them," he held out the lamp charm, "but there are more. Sometimes, when things start to grow dim, I call on extra help. It's something I've learned over the last year. Friendship is the greatest light there is. And we try not to lose sight of it." Somewhere in his memory, Sora could see Cloud giving him this advice.

"Yea, ya gotta always keep your friends close to your heart," Goofy added.

Sora smiled at this then turned to the class, "Well, I think that's enough for today," Sora said, and the class gathered up their belongings. Once they were alone, Sora spoke to Donald and Goofy.

"Guys, I've been thinking. If Maleficent is here, we may need some help."

"What do you mean, Sora? We've been able to defeat her on our own before," Donald said, slightly surprised to hear this from the Keyblade wielder.

"Think about it, though. We are in a world with powerful wizards. Not all of them can be good. If she's here, she is probably trying to get them on her side."

"Hmm…" Goofy started, "you might be right Sora. But who can we get to help?"

"Well, Merlin seemed really helpful when your castle was in trouble."

"Yea, but he's helping the Restoration Committee," Donald said.

"Oh yea…"

The three pondered for only a few moments when Goofy spoke up. "How about the King."

Sora and Donald gave Goofy confused looks.

"Goofy, the King has to be on the look out for Xehanort," Sora thought.

"Yea, but if Maleficent is here, then maybe Xehanort is here too," Goofy responded.

"Yea, and they might be wanting to try and get you to be in the new Organization," the mage added, looking at Sora.

"You guys may be right," said Sora. "Alright we'll try and get word to the King to see if he can come."
