AN- For those of you that guessed, you're wonderful! Sorry I didn't update in Friday, I was on a Mission trip thingy.
Also, my psychiatrist (AKA my best friend) says I have too much Sora time, and limited me to three hours per day. He wanted it to be two, but I said at least three... I can't help being in love with Sora, he's pure hotness! :P
Harry opened his eyes to see hundreds of differently colored Sea-Salt ice creams. He began to sort them silently into boxes, just like the goblins had suggested.
The first one that he touched revealed a memory that he instinctively knew wasn't his.
Sora and two other people sat on a tree, watching the sunset. They talked quietly amongst themselves about a raft, and leaving the island.
When the memory ended, Harry grabbed a box and placed the sky-blue colored ice cream inside. He knew that every sky blue ice cream would be a memory of the boy, Sora.
After seeing all of those memories and having separated them, Harry reached for a blood red ice cream.
"You remember NOW? Well, it's too late now!"
Harry shivered after that, and figured that all of the red ice creams were bad memories.
Harry sorted all of the other colors besides a light green and the red. When he began to sort the green, he found he could clearly remember Sora...
He eventually had sorted all the memories besides two. It was the last red colored one, and a single black one. He grabbed the black one first. It showed the death of his current parents. As he held it, it screamed. He could tell it was dark magic, so he reached out his hand and summoned a Keyblade.
From the memories he had seen, it was the Kingdom key. He stabbed the thing, and it disintegrated, turning into black dust that disappeared. He released the Kingdom Key, and turned to the last ice cream.
When he touched it, it showed him the memory that he had dreamed of the night before.
"You make a good other..."
And suddenly, instead of being an observer of the memories, Roxas could clearly remember them; feel the emotions of the moments.
Even though he was in his own mind, he fell on his knees and cried for Sora. His Other who he had left, although it was for his own good. He chanted Sora's name like a mantra, over and over again.
He couldn't believe himself. He had had two petty crushes, Ginny Weasley and Cho Chang, but neither of them were his love, his precious other, his Sora. He was disgusted with himself, how could he possibly have been crushing on the two stupid girls when he was waiting for his Sora?
He remembered Axel and Xion, his two best friends. His fellow Nobodies. He remembered how he had killed Xion, but that wasn't his fault, Riku had removed his memories! He remembered silently how he and Axel had fought, but then how Axel had fought to release him from Sora's heart, and eventually fought to protect Sora.
All throughout his remembrance, he chanted Sora's name, until with a final cry of "SORA!" he woke up.
Roxas- No, I'm Harry now! Saw the goblins that had performed the Ritual on him watching quizzically.
"What is it?" Roxas- HARRY! Asked.
"You do not look like the legendary hero, Sora." One of the goblins said.
"I'm not. I'm Roxas." Roxas-Oh screw it. I'm Roxas; I just gotta remember to answer to Harry. Roxas said.
"That is... strange. Every other person that has ever had the Ritual performed on them chanted their own name. But you chanted the name of a hero." Said the same goblin.
"Well... let's just say I was close with Sora. What do you mean, 'I don't look like' Sora?"
"When the Ritual is performed, the physical features of the reincarnation merge with the original features, making the original incarnation have the dominant features. Take a look."
Roxas stepped over to a mirror on the wall that he had thought was just decoration until now. He looked at his reflection, expecting to see Harry Potter. What he saw was not what he had expected at all. He saw himself, Roxas. The windswept blonde hair that was his signature (Along with a few black highlights here and there), and the baby blue eyes that looked exactly like Sora's, only now they had Emerald bleeding into the corners. He was wearing his usual clothing that he wore before/after he was in the Organization, and his special charm was still stuck to his lapel.
The goblin walked up behind him and said, "If you pick a piece of your current clothing, we can charm it to make you look like you did before."
Roxas took his charm, and handed it to the goblin wordlessly. The goblin nodded, closed his eyes, and worked the ancient goblin magic.
"Only take it off when you wish to look like you do now." The goblin said.
Roxas took his charm and pinned it onto his shirt. His image rippled, and he became Harry Potter again. He looked at the goblin, and then said quietly, "Thank you."
The goblin seemed flustered for a moment, before he said, "You're welcome."
Roxas was about to leave the bank, but the goblin seemed to break from the stupor, and said, "Wait! We didn't give you the power test!"
"The what?" Roxas asked, confused.
"Come."
Roxas followed the goblin into another small room, where he pulled out a sheet of parchment and a needle. He motioned for Roxas to come closer, and once he did, the goblin pricked the tip of Roxas' finger, and a single droplet of blood hit the parchment. Immediately it lit up with words, and Roxas read it.

Roxas nodded, and smiled at the goblin. He led himself out of the bank. He went back to Florean Fortescue's, ordered another Sea-Salt ice cream, and thought. He thought about all of his memories, he thought about Xion, about Axel, about if they were possibly reincarnated like him. He wished with his entire being that Sora was reincarnated, that they could have an actual relationship this time.
"Sora, we could never be together. You're the hero; I'm just the shadow in the background. If we tried to hold a relationship, everyone would be against it."
"But Roxie, I don't care! I don't care what they think, I love you!" Sora replied, nearly crying.
"Sora, I know you don't care, but that isn't even the main problem. If we were to try to hold a relationship, even something as simple as holding hands would be impossible, because I would fade into you and we would merge again."
"Roxie, we don't have to do that if it means I'd lose you, but I want to tell the whole world that I love you."
"Sor, if you did that, then all of your friends, especially Kairi, would do their best to change your opinion of me, or at least to force us to merge."
"Why especially Kairi?" Sora asked, focusing on the less disturbing thing of what he'd been told.
"Because Kairi loves you too. She's been trying to earn your love for a long time."
"WHAT! NO WAY!" Sora said, surprised.
"Yeah. It would probably be better for you if you were to be with her."
"Roxie, I don't care what would be 'better for me'. I wanna be with you."
"Sor-Sor... This is the only time I can do this. Please, make it amazing." And Roxas grabbed Sora's hand, yanked him, closer, and kissed him. Sora was surprised only for a moment, and kissed Roxas back.
But, a moment later, he found the warm body pressed against his gone, and he opened his eyes to see Roxas, rather than wearing his usual clothes, was wearing an Organization cloak.
"Sora, I won't fight you. This is your heart. I love you, and... Well... you make a good other."
Sora broke down. He shouldn't have pushed so hard for what he wanted.
"Shh... don't cry. I'll always be in here," Roxas said, pointing towards Sora's heart, "Maybe in the next life, we will have better luck."
Roxas smiled, and disappeared into the door, fading into Sora's heart.
Roxas smiled sadly at the memory, and wondered if their second chance had come. After he finished his ice cream, he headed back to Grimauld place, but as he stepped off of the Knight Bus and onto the road, he stopped and realized something. Sirius had been reincarnated.
Roxas ran as fast as possible, hoping for Sirius to have been someone that he had known.
He snuck back in the house, only to come face to face with Mrs. Weasley.
She stared at him for a moment, then grabbed him by the ear and shouted to the house, "I found him!"
