Hey everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that I have something amazing planned for this chapter and that it will concern both TerraxAquaxVentus as well as some HarryxLea. Now I know there will be people who will probably be against what I have planned as it's probably a little quick, but I have my reasons and they will be explained.
Okay enjoy,

Chapter 15
Love and Romance

Harry's POV

Having explained my reasons for trusting Sirius and having laughed at his little joke about Lupin, I can't help but feel that Sirius is actually right and wonder if it's our new dorms and the fact that Lupin doesn't know the password to them is the cause for my godfather to still be here instead of being locked back up in London.
The very idea of the man being locked there makes a shiver want to run down my spine, yet the presence of all those that are meant for me makes it almost impossible for me to feel uncomfortable or worried about anything and while Lea is behind me, leaning against the hearth, and Sirius is beside me on a separate chair, do I look around.

Aerith seems to have taken Daphne under her wing and while I wonder how much warmth could be hiding under that cold exterior that made my girlfriend get the title Ice Queen of the Snakes, do I still feel pretty happy as it's obvious by a single look that Aerith is exactly the person Daphne will need to get used to being part of such a large group.
Even and Ienzo are also seated together, the two of them looking from one of the other groups around them to the other and I wonder if the two of them are studying certain things about their upcoming partners or that there could be a bunch of gossipers hidden under those cool, intelligent exteriors of the two young men.
Finally is there the little group of three; Aqua, Terra and Ventus, who are all seated together in a triangle on chairs that are almost so close, they could easily be transfigured into a circular shaped couch, something I can't help but feel – just by looking at them – the three sitting there wouldn't even really mind.

Tilting my head a little, I try to look at them a little closer without them noticing, something that seems pretty easy as they really seem engrossed with their conversation and then Lea, who seems to have picked up on my source of interest while leaning against the hearth, says: "You know, they're not just meant for you."
I look at the man, shocked and wondering what he could be on about, while every glance at him almost makes it hard for me to think of anything other than the moment we shared when we first met a few hours ago and he says: "They're meant for each other just as much. I mean, how can they love you if they can't love each other?"
This makes me look at the group of three yet again and I ask: "You think there's love growing between them?" Lea nods, something I am almost certain of even if I can't see it and he says: "Just looking at them says there is. I mean, just take a close look at how they behave while they talk. It's really easy to see."

This makes me tilt my head yet again and then I see it. The way Ventus tries to catch Terra's eyes as he talks. The way Aqua's smile widens more than she smiled all day. The way Terra constantly makes a heartfelt gesture, like a pat on the knee, whenever he and the others seem to talk about something that makes them smile or laugh.
"Those three are definitely more than friends." I whisper softly and Lea nods again, me almost sensing the air around his face move as he does so and he says: "And it's been that way for a while, I can tell. I think what they need is someone they trust that tells them." And without saying it, do I know what Lea is trying to tell me.

Sighing I look at the three of them again and think: "Those three are definitely something special." And while trying to think of a way to get them to admit, can I not help but study the three of them in a way I know can help me later, once our relationship settles a little more and my Inner Nature makes us pick roles.
Looking at Terra, I can just tell that – while Lea is definitely meant as my Potter mate – this man will be the Leader, the unspoken person who will guide us and help us and tell us how to fight in this war in such a way we all come out of battles mostly unscathed and that – more importantly – none of us die before it's all over.
Then I look at Ventus and just by looking at how he smiles and laughs, do I think: "Damn, you need a pair of sunglasses to look at that kid." And I know Ven will play an important role as well, one where he will light us up when we're feeling down and where he will constantly make sure we feel happy, safe and loved.
Then, finally, do I glance at Aqua, the woman that has such a wide loving smile on her face as she looks at her two crushes laughing with each other and the first thought that crosses my mind, do I whisper out loud. "She would make a perfect queen." Making both Sirius and Lea look at me in shock before Lea asks:

"Are you sure that's not meant to be Aerith?" And I send a short glance at the brown haired woman, who by now has her arm around Daphne and who seems to actually be developing a crush on the blond-haired beauty and while I can easily tell by her kind smile and gentle eyes what it is that Lea sees in her, do I turn back to Aqua.
The woman is laughing with her eyes closed and a hand just in front of her mouth as Terra has Ventus in a headlock and is giving him a nudgy and again the thought of what an amazing queen she would make goes through my mind, my inner hormones coming out to play along and making me envision what her kids would be like.
Smiling at the mental picture, do I say: "No, it definitely has to be Aqua. Just looking at her makes me know just how far she would go for those she cares for and she obviously easily cares for people, so learning to care for my country should not be a problem for her. I even think she can break several hurtful traditions for others here."

"Like for Remus?" Sirius asks and I think yet again about Umbridge and all the things the woman did to make it harder for my father's friend. I nod and with determination, do I say: "She would definitely set her teeth in making his and the lives of other magical creatures a whole lot better. She would probably eat Umbridge for lunch."
This makes Lea laugh and he says: "You got a point there. Aqua is definitely not one you can mess with when you did something to her friends or those she cared for. And you're also right in how far she would go for those people. I guess she really would make quite the queen." And I smile with a nod before I decide to stand up.

I walk over to the three, who seem to be completely in their own world as it takes Terra a few seconds before he notices me standing behind Aqua and I ask: "Can we talk somewhere alone?" Smiling at them to let them that the conversation is to improve our bond and the three share a look before they all stand up themselves.
We then leave for the rooms I share with Sirius and there I give them a playful smirk as I lean against one of the sofas, the things Sirius told me earlier making me feel sure nothing that will be shared here will leave these four walls and I ask: "I got to admit, you three certainly have a closer bond than the rest of my mates, don't you?"
The three smile at each other and then, feeling like I should do Sirius proud, do I shake my head and say: "That does pose a problem, though." The three look shocked and I say: "You three are my destined mates, which automatically means you're meant for each other as well. But – I guess with a friendship as strong as yours –."
I then end, feeling I should be awarded for my performance and the three look at each other worriedly, obviously feeling self-conscious about confessing how they feel. I sigh, making it loud as I can tell they need another little push and say: "This sure will make it hard once I have to start making sure my lines can continue."

And Ventus turns red as he hears me, while Terra and Aqua share a worried glance, the two of them obviously confused by the worry they see shining in the other's eyes and I say: "Oh come on already, am I the only one with eyes in his head?" Shocking the three as I continue and say: "No way can friendship be as close as you three are."
Lying my hands in my hips as I decide not to use my bond with them anymore, but to just be honest with them and get them to confess it the only way I know how; the bold, courageous Gryffindor way. The three of them turn red and I say: "I mean, come on. Just a single look makes you the perfect partners for each other – and for me."

I then turn to Ventus and say: "Ven, you are clearly the light in their lives, simply by being who you are. When you smile, people need bloody sunglasses not to be blinded by it and Terra and Aqua obviously love making you laugh, they tried several times to make that happen in the last thirty minutes, for Merlin's sake."
I then turn to Aqua and say: "And Aqua, if you're not the perfect, caring, loving, ever loyal and dedicated wife to both of them, then I'm seriously Voldemort's grandson or something. You don't do the things you did because they're your friends. You did those things, because you love them with all your heart and it shows constantly."
And finally do I turn my face to Terra as I say: "And Terra, you obviously train, work out and try to be the strongest you can ever be, never believing yourself at the height of your strength, because you don't want to fall short on the chance of Aqua and Ventus – you're loved ones – being in danger without you being able to protect them."
I then turn to the trio as a group and say: "You obviously love each other and I noticed that by just glancing at you for maybe ten to fifteen minutes. You love each other and I'm falling in love with you, just because I am so in awe over all the ways that you are falling for each other every time you just look at each other."

By now the three of them are smiling at each other and Terra has a hand on both Aqua and Ventus' cheek, his thumb rubbing soft circles on Aqua's cheekbone and temple, while Ventus has gone up and pushed Terra's hand between his cheek and shoulder and I turn around, knowing those three deserve their little private moment.
At the door to the other dorms, do I turn my head one last time, only to smile real widely as I see Terra sharing a loving kiss with Aqua and just before I close the door, do I peek around it and see that Terra has switched his act of romance to Ventus, something that makes me know a kiss between Aqua and Ventus is now inevitable.
"Got it done?" Lea then asks me as I go back to my seat and while my other mates look at me inquiringly for a second – obviously wanting to know why I went into the room with the three, but came out of the room without them – do I wave at them with a peaceful smile, the four of them taking it as a sign that everything's still okay.
I then nod at Lea and say: "Tried to trick them and play the Marauder card. Didn't work." Sirius looks intrigued at this and I say: "I'm not the kind of person to go down at it that way. I'm a little too bold for that. Just took the Gryffindor way and went straight with the truth, adding a little speech on my thoughts of them to convince them."

This makes Sirius smile and say: "You do have an amazing way with words, especially the truth." He then leans back in his own chair and with his fingertips against each other and his elbows on the arms of his chair, does he smile at me in pure pride and say: "That ought to have convinced them, no doubt about it."
This makes me smile and Lea asks: "You do know what this means, right? You're one step closer to getting the whole bonding circle complete. You sure that doesn't make this all go a little too fast for you, little flame?" And I look at the man, again feeling myself getting drowned in that memory as I make another fast decision.
I stand up, walk over to the man and lie my hand on his cheek, Lea doing nothing but keeping my gaze locked with his, his eyes asking me if I'm sure of the course of action that I'm taking, a wondering gaze that makes me only more determined to prove to him that this is what I want as I use my hand on his cheek to pull him closer.
I then feel his breath going softly against my lips and hear him whisper: "It's your call, little flame." A sign of trust that makes my heart burst with love and while without a doubt certain that I am of Potter Blood and that this is the man I would have been meant for, multiple inheritances or not, do I press my lips against his.


Like I said, some of you may take offence to this, but I made my decision. Harry won't be going this quick with his other mates, but like I wrote in the last line, I love HarryxLea pairing above any other. It's SO DAMNED EASY TO WRITE I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THOSE TWO AREN'T IN THE SAME CATEGORY!
And with category I mean why isn't Lea part of the HP movies or why isn't Harry part of the KH games, which brings me to the upcoming. KH III is coming, it will come somewhere next year and there are still speculations about what worlds will be chosen. I know HP isn't Disney, but who wouldn't want to see a HP world?
Anyway, next chapter will probably be in the POV's of Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Lea as they experience this chapter through their eyes, so I might just splits those four into two each, two POV's per chapter, but that all depends on how long I can stretch the POV's, what they think and how they feel throughout the events of this chapter.
Also, like I said, Harry won't get this close with his other seven mates this quickly, but I do plan for him to be kissed by his mates before his sixteenth birthday. I think I'll keep further activities to a low, but there will definitely be kids involved in the epilogue; heck I might even do a sequel about how the kids experience their lives as Heirs to so many lines.
Let me know your thoughts on the HP world,
