Bonnie: Well, here it is, the 4th chapter; things in Hogwarts are still progressing along and I'm sure you want to know where the keyhole is. Oh and maybe I should explain something: some Disney worlds will be replaced by other worlds because I have different characters and I don't like those worlds. Final Fantasy and the real Kingdom Hearts characters will appear and you'll see what happens. That's all I'm going to say for now.
Pairings in this chapter: Sirius/Remus, hints of Severus/James.
Disclaimer: I'm running out of creative ideas to say this. I don't own anything mentioned or in the story.
WARNING: Voldemot might appear for a while but he's not much of a threat. Yet.
Chapter Four: A Feeling of Foreboding
Hogwarts Day 1.5
Remus found to his relief that he didn't have any strange dreams for most of the night and slept quite peacefully until a sound awoken him and with his sharp ears (the full moon should be coming soon); he woke up from the noise. It sounded like shuffling.
"Oh Rems, you're awake." It was James.
Remus sat up and rubbed his eyes, it was still dark out but James was wide awake in the dormitory and Sirius wasn't in bed or in the dorm they share in either.
"What are you doing up so late?" Remus asked James as he sat up.
James was sitting on the windowsill, "Sirius went down to the kitchens to get some food to store on the car." He explained.
"So why are you up then?" Remus asked curiously as James was staring outside, troubled by something. The other one turned towards him, "I feel that something bad is going to happen. I don't why but ever since I've been here. I've been sensing something here… I feel like I'm trying to remember something but I can't seem to."
Remus, Sirius and Peter had found James in their first year and Severus was the closest person nearby to get Dumbledore. Nothing was known about him except his name as James claimed he couldn't remember anything except that James Potter was his name. He was accepted into Hogwarts when they found that James could do magic and was the same age as the first years. Sirius, Remus and Peter quickly became his friends and Severus was a later acquaintance but that's a longer story.
Remus wasn't aware of James ever telling him and Sirius about this before so his eyebrows were raised. "What kind of feeling?" He asked, completely in the dark about this. Maybe this feeling is similar to his own?
"I don't know, it's a foreign feeling running through me and I feel as though there's something out there that should be important." James replied. "I guess it's kind of like a sixth sense. I feel prickles in my blood…"
Remus joined his roommate at the window and looked out into the moonlight filled grounds of Hogwarts. He could feel the tension in the dorm, before he could reply however, Sirius came bursting in with plenty of goodies and broke the tension.
"How'd you get all that without suspicion from the house elves?" Remus asked, shocked.
"I said I skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner because I had a stomach-ache and it had gone away and now I was terribly hungry." Sirius replied with a straight face.
James laughed gently and quietly before he and went over to put the food in a safe place. "We can transport these to the car tomorrow." He said.
Sirius flopped onto his bed. "I'm tired, that invisibility cloak kept hunching over since I had so much food to carry."
"We'll be sure to send Sev with you next time." James replied, grinning.
Sirius glared at his best friend, "I'm taking you with me next time, Prongs."
Remus yawned, "Let's just go to sleep. I think we'll need it for tomorrow."
"Yeah," Sirius agreed and closed his eyes. Remus did the same.
James looked out the window one last, then he went to his bed, he didn't notice a small black figure crawling through the grounds.
None of the noticed that James's eyes had faintly glowed golden for a moment and then it died out.

Bonnie: Lucky break guys! I've decided to write more!

Hogwarts Day 2
Sunlight shone through the windows in the 4th years' dormitory as James and Remus got up. Normally, on a Sunday, they would've slept in more but they still had a lot of work to do if they wanted to finish the car by today. Last night's conversation was forgotten and Remus went to wake his still asleep boyfriend.
"Siri, wake up." Remus said to his animagi boyfriend and shook him gently. James had gone to the washroom and Remus got a better idea. Leaning over, he kissed Sirius gently and the dog animagi was jolted awake. Remus suppressed a laugh.
Sirius rubbed his eyes sleepily but he suddenly brightened when he saw Remus.
"Morning," he greeted. "Merlin, I wish I could get a wake up call like that everyday!"
Remus threw a pillow at Sirius, "you wish." He huffed, "it's better to brush your teeth before doing that."
James emerged from the washroom. "Morning to you too sleepy head," he said to Sirius and that was how the day started.
The three marauders (Peter went on his own agenda) went to breakfast and then to the Hogwarts grounds where they met up with Severus and then proceeded to the hiding spot where they hid the car with a dillusion charm. Sirius and Remus carried the huge bundle of food under James's invisibility cloak; then they dumped the food into the back of the truck.
Sirius sighed in relief, "Are we done?" He asked.
"Not yet," James replied, causing Severus to look at him in surprise. Clearly, he thought that they would be done right now. James turned to Remus, "Rems, can you go get our stash of butterbeer and sweets from Hogsmeade?"
"Sure James." Remus said in confusion.
"Oh," Sirius said, remembering it.
"You have a stash of Honeyduke's sweets?" Severus said in mild surprise. With the Marauders, anything could happen and Severus learned that when he first encountered them.
"Yep," Sirius answered in a tone that made it sound as if they did this all the time, which they do incidentally.
Remus headed for the Whomping Willow, he wasn't scared of the tree since this was the Marauders' headquarters where they start their mischief at night and the fact that this tree was meant for him. He quickly ran to the knot and immobilized the tree and then he went into the spiralling tunnel that leads to the Shrieking Shack
The Shrieking Shack was named that because the villagers in Hogsmeade hear noise in the shack and there's a rumour that it's haunted. The Marauders knew otherwise because it was Remus in the shack, when he turns into a werewolf every full moon on Dumbledore's beckon. The Marauders know every part of the Shack including the Door…
There was a curious looking door in the place with no handles and the Marauders have tried several times to open it but it was bolted shut. Not even "Alohomora" could work. There was nothing they could do about the door now but that doesn't mean that they have given up despite James' urging to forget about it. This may be one of James's sixth sense things although Remus didn't really think about that until last night's conversation came into mind.
Remus went to the corner where they had stuffed their bags of snuck out Hogsmeade treats and he noticed the signs the marauders have made on the walls when they transform into animagi. His own werewolf claw marks were on the wall and that reminded Remus that the full moon was approaching. Shaking himself out of his thoughts, Remus went to collect the bag of treats when he sensed a dark presence in the shack.
'Voldemort…?' Was Remus' first thought and he turned to the dislodged door. There was a black cloaked figure standing there 'Death Eaters?!'
It wasn't a Death Eater and the person spoke in a deep voice; A creepy one. Maybe it was Voldemort.
"I've come to see the door to this world."
Remus had expected him to say something else and he was taken aback while accidentally letting out an unintelligible "huh?"
"This world has been connected…"
"What are you talking about?" Remus shot back with only a trace of fear in his heart and with curiosity. Being a marauder has taught Remus how to be brave.
"Tied to the darkness… Soon to be completely eclipsed..." The cloaked figure continued, ignoring Remus' questions.
"But where did you come from?" Remus demanded, building up courage since he first encountered this being.
"You do not know what lies beyond the door…" The voice continued and Remus realized his meaning.
"Oh... he's from another world..." Remus half muttered to himself.
"There is so very much to learn, you understand so little…"
Now Remus prided himself in knowing a lot of things and being the "brainy" one of the group. This was an insult to his Marauder pride, 'I'm turning into Sirius!' Remus thought to himself resignedly and he shot back at the cloaked figure.
"Then I'll go out there and learn what's out there!"
"A meaningless effort; one who knows nothing can understand nothing."
This time, Remus flared up in anger, know nothing? But before he could retort, the cloaked figure was gone, vanished, leaving Remus alone in the Shrieking Shack with the bag of food.
Wondering what that was all about and his anger subsiding, Remus took the bag and got out of the Shack and back to where his friends were.
Sirius tackled Remus right when he got there. "Sirius! What are you doing?" Remus asked in surprise.
"I was so worried Rems! I thought the monster in the Shrieking Shack would get you!" Sirius pretended to worry even though he knew that the legend of the Shrieking Shack was created by Remus when he is a werewolf on the full moon.
Remus laughed and he gently pushed his boyfriend off, "well I made it through without getting hurt. I'm not afraid of any monster." Remus grinned in response to Sirius's theatrical performance of a worried loved one.
"Okay you two, that's enough romance for today," came James' voice.
"Why? Are you jealous?" Sirius teased.
"No, but we need to finish our homework first before we set sail tomorrow. Here, Rems, another potion vial for your help." After James walked away, Sirius turned to Remus and rolled his eyes.
"Honestly! We're not even going to be here tomorrow when we go off to other worlds. Why is James starting to go against the Marauder's code?"
"Siri, we don't even have a code but you're right about something, this is too mature for James, it must be the stress... but he's right about the homework thing. We should probably get unfinished homework out of our consciousness before tomorrow just in case there some reason why we can't get to the other worlds tomorrow." Remus got up and started following James while Sirius sighed, "what has this world gotten to?"
TBC…
Bonnie: Next parts will follow the manga rather than the game a bit more. WHAT! You never knew there was a manga version for Kingdom Hearts? Well I do but I only have 1, 2 and 3 but that's okay, some worlds have a totally different storyline. (And some worlds will be totally different) Ooh! I can't wait till the adventure begins!
Remus: R and R. Do give some encouragement and luck for the journey
Bonnie: See ya around!
