The ocean between.

Sora sat the wheel of the Golden Highwind. His own ship that the king gave him personally. He was charting a course for the islands, Riku sat in the weapons chair and Kairi was holding Harry in her lap. The baby looks outside of the cockpit seeing the stars and worlds pass before them.

"Did you contact your folks?" Asked Riku.

"Yeah. They're gonna meet at Sora's house. I just hope that they take the news well" said Kairi. The golden Highwind approached their islands. Sora landed the ship behind his house and the ramp opened up. The three islanders disembarked the ship.

"Ready?" Asked Sora looking at Kairi.

"Yep," said Kairi, looking at Sora's house.

Ryo Osment is a 35 year old man with brown spiky hair with a bit of grey in his hair and his body was very muscular since he is a fisherman, he was wearing a white tank top and blue khaki shorts and sandals. He was sitting at the table with his wife Kira and Kairi's parents. Ruko and Hikari. Kira also had brown hair with streaks of grey and she was wearing a yellow sundress with flowers on it. She owns a Grocery store where Ryo sells locally caught fish. Their twelve year old daughter Samantha was a carbon copy of her mother with long brown hair. She was wearing the destiny island uniform since she just got out of school. Ruko has an average built body and short black hair. He was wearing a business suit since he is the Mayor of Destiny Islands. Hikari has long red hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a business outfit as well since she is a lawyer. They had been called by their children to come to the Osment house because they had something to discuss.

"Do you think they are okay?" asked Hikari.

'I hope so...even though they are preparing to go to a war even though they are kids." said Ryo when Sora, Riku and Kairi entered the house with Harry. The latter looking around his new surroundings,

"You're back big brother" said Sammy hugging her older brother,

"We're home" said Sora returning the hug.

"Hi mom, Dad" said Kairi carefully to hug her adopted parents while holding Harry,

"Why do you have a baby with you?" Asked Hikari.

The three were quick to go over the battle with Master Xehanort. The revival of Roxas, Xion and Namine, rescuing Terra and Vanitas deflecting to their side. To Kairi being crystallized by Xehanort. the final battle where Xehanort surrender the X Blade and abandoned his plans for good. Sora sealing away kingdom hearts and he had traversed through their hearts though their friends past selves to find Kairis shattered heart after Xehanort crystallized her to have insurance to open Kingdom Hearts. He restored her and the two battled Armored Xehanort before arriving back to the final world. Their meeting with Death who took them to Harry after watching the three people place him in front of the doors of a house with only a blanket for warmth against the cold and the reapers deal for Sora and kairi to care and raise his descendant in exchange for not taking neither of them to the afterlife.

" why did he choose Kairi?" Asked Hikari ,

"Xehanort wanted Sora for his sacrifice and I offered myself cause I knew that Sora would beat him for good." Said Kairi.

"That still doesn't make it right. You two are basically paying the price for the crimes of that man." Said Ruko looking at Harry who was crawling around their living room. Said toddler was exploring his surroundings.

"It was that or I'd lose Sora forever daddy. " said Kairi.

"This is just too much. I wasn't expecting to be a grandpa so soon" said Ryo.

"Same. I was waiting for you kids to get a little older before thinking of having children," said Kira.

"It's our new task. Besides, he was alone and scared…like how I was when I ended up here on the islands" said Kairi.

"Both of your minds are already been made haven't they?" Asked Ryo.

"Yeah Dad." Said Sora.

Their parents could only look at each other before Ruko spoke for them. "Then we can only do what any parent should do. Give you both our support.."

Sora and kairi could only smile at their parents.

"Where do you think you're going?" said Sammy, picking up her new nephew and bringing him to her parents. Kira then took him from her. Kairis parents and Ryo can see his emerald green eyes, "such beautiful eyes," said Hikari looking at her new grandson.

"He's definitely gonna be a ladies man when he gets older." Riku joked with Sora, Ryo and Ruko, the men could only laugh after he said that.

"Riku! No matchmaking for my son. He's still in diapers." said Kairi with a glare.

"Just in case, Kairi. You and Sora will need to fill out adoption papers to make it official. I'll go to the office tomorrow morning and grab them." Said Ruko.

"Thanks Mr, Paniteirre." Said Sora.

"I take it you will be staying here with Sora and Harry?" Asked Hikari,

"Yes mom," said Kairi.

Pffft. All heads turned to the baby in Kira's lap who could only smile and bounced on her lap. Kira then smelled something bad coming from Harry. She said, "Somebody needs a diaper change,"

Sora went over to his mom and he took Harry from her. Kira and Kairi came over with for Kira was gonna coach them though a diaper change..

Sora placed him on the couch. He took off his outfit and then the diaper. Immediately a stream of pee came right at them,

"Ah! Friendly Fire!" Shouted Sora ducking out of the way but unfortunately Riku received the full dose. Harry laughed at how funny his new daddy was.

Riku, now covered in pee, glared at Sora who couldn't stop laughing like Harry . He did a pure Daffy Duck impersonation. "Your Dessspicable"

"Harry wanted to give you a gift, Uncle Riku," joked Kairi .Riku then went to get his face clean . Kairi watched Sora take care of their son wiping his butt. "He's got a bit of a rash. Apply some rash cream." Said Kira handing Sora the rash cream. He does that before putting a fresh clean diaper on him. "There we go…is that much better. Your all clean ." Said Sora picking up Harry,

"Dada" said Harry hugging him. . Sora taking back that he just called him dada made him smile. "That's right,..I'm your dada."

"Here comes mama with a tickle attack" said Kairi before she tickled the toddler, making him laugh.

"You kids must be hungry. I'll fix up some dinner. Mayor Ruko, Hikari? Are you staying for dinner?" Asked Kira,

"We be delighted." Said Hikari before she went with Kira to cook while everyone else retired to the living room.

/scene change./

The ruins of the Potter Cottage of Godric Hollow was empty when Merlin appeared with his hood up. With his hands. He moved the broken door out of the way, he saw where James' body has been but it had been removed. Merlin snapped his fingers before an elf like creature appeared. He is wearing blue robes and a golden crest with an E on it. "How can I be of service to you Master Emrys?

"Trickster, .i want you to gather everything in the house that belongs to the Potters. I need to go investigate upstairs." Said Merlin.

"As you wish master" said Trickster before vanishing to do his work, Merlin with his wand traveled up the stairs to the nursery. The door was broken when Merlin entered the room. The crib was still intact and Harry's baby books and toys were scattered everywhere by the collapse of the roof. Merlin went to the crib and he saw runes were etched into the wood. "Very impressive."

He searched the nursery for any other clues for his investigation but found none. He then grabbed all of Harry's baby toys, clothes and books and into into his bag. He went into the couple's master bedroom. He searched for any clues when Trickster appeared. . "Master."

"Yes Trickster?" Asked Merlin. He stopped his investigation to look at his house elf.

"There were a few items that were missing but I managed to find and retrieve them." Said Trickster.

"What was missing.." asked Merlin now curious.,

"A few spellbooks, a few family heirlooms, a key to a vault. , and the wands of the couple. I have retrieved them after leaving the Thief a nasty surprise" grinned Trickster. He then handed his master the key which he pocketed. Merlin chuckled at his house elf. "Ah Trickster. You never fail to amaze me,"

"Master, I detect a magical substance under the bed." Said Trickster. He used his elf magic to levitate the bed and there was a few boards with a strong concealment charm on them. Merlin undid the spell and he moved the board to reveal a chest. He lifted the chest and he then placed it into his bag. "I shall look over the contents of this chest with Yen Sid. I trust his judgment in this matter."

Merlin and Trickster then went downstairs and Merlin saw all the items that had been gathered. With the wave of his wand. He added the belongings of the Potter Family to his bag.

"Thank you Trickster….go have some time off until I call for you" said Merlin.

"I live to serve you master" said Trickster before popping away. /who would dare steal from an orphan? I need to go to Gringotts and make sure the Thief doesn't try to take anything from his vault./ thought the wizard. With a puff of magic he disappeared.

The leaky cauldron was bustling with activity. Witches and wizards were celebrating the death of the dark lord and the end of the war when a puff of clouds appeared in the center of the bar and Merlin with his hood up arrived. Lot of the patrons looked at him before he said, "continue to enjoy yourselves. Don't mind me" said Merlin before he went up to the bar. "What can I do for you?" Asked Tom the Bartender watching Merlin place his bag on the counter. .

"I need information. See I've not been home in England for quite some time…what can you tell me about Voldemort."

Everyone in the room immediately stopped partying and all heads sit to look at Merlin. "Don't say his name!" Snapped Tom with a bit of fear in his voice..

"Why? It is just a French name for Flight of Death. Besides, he's dead now isn't he?" Asked Merlin. He was surprised that everybody in the bar flinched on hearing Voldemort's name,

"Aye he is ... .You-Know-Who put a taboo on saying his name and anybody foolish to say his name would be raided in seconds by his followers. Many were killed and the Statue of Secrecy was almost broken. The war between him and the Ministry with Albus Dumbledore lasted for ten years and on Halloween marked the end of the war following his defeat by Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived. The only one to survive the Killing Curse." Said Tom. .

"I see" Said Merlin thinking of the hyphened name that Tom just said about Hadrian, /Boy Who lived?./

"Now, what else can I help you with?" Asked Tom.

"Nothing at all. I will just take my leave. I have business with the Goblins, have a good day" said Merlin. He grabbed his bag before heading for the back patio of the bar. He took his wand and he tapped the bricks to reveal the entrance to Diagon Alley. The shopping district of Magic Britain. "Ah, Diagon Ally. It has been a long time" said Merlin. He walked thought the busy street and he can see some families were emitting fear and there was no joy in the air despite the war had ended. /what has become of my home. What has happened to my people?/ thought Merlin.

He arrived at the end of the alley where a white marbled building stood with two goblin guards armed with weapons stood at the door. He bowed to the goblins who return it. They opened the doors for him and he stepped on though, he sees the bank only had a few people inside before he approached the head teller. " Greetings Strongarm, how are you this fine day" Merlin spoke in Gobbletook.

The Goblin known as Strongarm looked at him putting his quill down. He had white snow skin and grey hair. "And welcome back to our world, Lord Emrys. How is it that Gringotts can help you all today"

"I would like to see the Potter Account manager….i represent the magical guardians of Harry Potter." Said Merlin in Gobbletook.

"Very well." Said Strongarm before he barked, "Griphook!"

A small goblin appeared right beside the group. He had black hair and pointy ears. "Yes Strongarm?"

"Take Lord Emrys to Bloodtooth and await further orders from them." Strongarm said. Griphook bowed before he gestured for Merli to follow him. Griphook lead them through a hallway from the main hall until they came upon a door with a golden P on it. "Bloodtooth will see you now my lord." said Griphook.

"Exellent. Thank you Griphook" said Merlin with a bow. He opened the door where another pale goblin with a red tooth is seen doing paperwork.

"Lord Emrys, it is an honor to meet you" Bloodtooth said to Merlin who had taken his hood off. "And to you as well Bloodtooth." Merlin said.

"Indeed, perhaps you can help me with my problem" said Bloodtooth, holding a parchment.

"What problem would that be?" Asked Merlin.

"I have been trying to get ahold of a Mr. Sora Osment and a Miss Kairi Paniteirre for quite some time and they have yet to answer me" said Bloodtooth.

"That's quite simple. They do not live in this world but another world" said Merlin.

".i see. That explains why they ignored my summons….i have much to discuss with them as being heir Potter's magical guardians" said Bloodtooth.

"Then perhaps you would come with me. I shall take you to them myself." Said Merlin.

"Let me grab my paperwork and I shall be ready" said Bloodtooth grabbing the few sheets of parchment he had on his desk before he spoke though goblin tongue over an intercom before he looked at Merlin. "I am ready my lord"

Merlin then used his magic to teleport them to the islands.

/Osment House…Destiny Islands/

The osments, Paniteirres and Riku were sitting at the dinner table enjoying their dinner. Harry sat in Kairis lap while sora was feeding him spoonfuls of baby food since the latter had already finished their food.

"Here comes the airplane," said Sora. He made an airplane noise. Harry reached for the spoon but Sora kept it away until he put the spoon in Harry's mouth. He did a little bounce on her lap. "All gone" said Sora, Kairi with a baby wipe, wiped his messy face.

A puff of magic and Merlin and Bloodtooth had appeared in the dining room. "Merlin?" Said Riku

"Oh I hope we're not interrupting," said Merlin.

"No. We're finished." Said Sora before they all noticed Bloodtooth.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Bloodtooth, I am the Potter Family Accountant." Said Bloodtooth.

"Pardon me for saying something rude but what the hell are you!" Exclaimed Samantha.

"Samantha! Language around Harry!" Kira scolded her daughter.

"I am a Goblin. I take it that this is your first time seeing a Goblin?" Said Bloodtooth.

Everyone shake their heads.

"Now which of you are Sora Osment and Kairi Paniteirre?" Asked Bloodtooth,

Sora and Kairi raised their free hands while Harry was shaking his rattle. Bloodtooth gestured to the free chair, "may I?"

"Of course, have a seat Mr. Bloodtooth." Said Ryo. The goblin with a wave of his hand transformed the plain simple chair to his exact replica of his chair from the bank. "Whoa" said Sora.

"Now that formalities are out of the way, let's get down to buisness…I was made aware of you both taking in Heir Potter." Said Bloodtooth.

"How?" Asked Kairi.

"Mother Magic has named you both his magical guardians and Gringrotts was alerted to this." said Bloodtooth opening his bag and he pulled out several pieces of paper.

"The late Lord and Lady Potter have left a will but unfortunately the chief warlock has ordered for it to be sealed."

"Wait Lord?" Asked Ryo.

"The child is heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter. A member of the sacred twenty eight. the founding houses of our world after the Fall of Camelot. " Said Bloodtooth.

"So he's technically royalty?" Asked Sammy.

"You can think of it like that." Said Bloodtooth.

"Who's the Chief Warlock and why did he seal up his parents' will? Asked Ruko.

"That would be none other than Albus Dumbledore. Headmaster of Hogwarts and Leader of the Light." Said Bloodtooth.

"Him again" growled Kairi just thinking of the man for what he did to Harry by dumping him on that cold doorstep. She kept Harry in a protective embrace.

"Easy Kai…he's not gonna hurt Harry." Said Sora.

"I know," said Kairi, kissing Harry's forehead.

"Before the Potters went into hiding, to ensure the family line would be continued. James Potter arranged a Bethrothal contract with Cyrus Greengrass, another family of the sacred twenty eight between the young heir with his daughter Daphne."

"Hold up a Betrothal contract? You mean to tell us that your world still uses those? Asked Ruko in disbelief.

"What's a Betrothal Contract?" Asked Sammy,

"It's an arranged marriage, they did it back in the 1700s during our country's early days. It's been long forgotten. "Ruko said

"It was to protect their children and their lines. The Potters and the Greengrasses were rather close during their days in Hogwarts and were listed as Harry's guardians in case Sirius Black or his Godmother Alice Longbottom couldn't care for him." Bloodtooth said.

"That still doesn't explain why Sirius Black or Alice Longbottom let Dumbledore have him only for the man to dump him on that doorstep." Sora darkly muttered.

"Well it was Sirius Black who was the secret keeper of the Potters. They were hiding under a Fidelius Charm and he was the secret keeper. He betrayed them to the dark lord and he was caught after he supposedly murdered 13 non magicals and Peter Petegrew. Another friend of Lord Potter. He's currently locked up in Azkaban for his crimes" said Bloodtooth

/something doesn't add up. Didn't Lily curse Peters name while she was trying to flee with Harry?/ thought Sora. He glanced at Riku and Merlin who nodded in agreement. This needed a further investigation by their end.

"And what of Alice Longbottom?" Asked Kairi,

"Three members of the Dark Lords inner circle, Barty Crouch Jr and the Lestranges broke into Longbottom manor and tortured Alice and her Husband Frank Longbottom under the Cruciatus Curse. They were exposed to the curse too longer and they have become permanent residents of St, Mungos. Their only son. Neville Longbottom is being raised by Franks mother." Said Bloodtooth.

"The poor little guy" said Sammy.

"The Cruciatus Curse?" Asked Riku.

"One of the three Unforgivables. Remind me to teach you all later about them" Said Merlin.

"Anyway back to the topic, since you two have been named as his magical guardians, as the Potter family accountant. I need you to sign a few papers." Said Bloodtooth. He pulled out a sheet of parchment with a quill and ink

"Like what?" Asked Sora.

"Adoption papers. To ensure that no one from my world will try to take the boy since the two of you aren't married and still underage yourselves." Said Bloodtooth.

"Not really. They are both keyblade wielders with Sora being a Keyblade Master makes them legal adults in our eyes." Said Merlin.

"That could work for our advantage as well." Said Bloodtooth. Sora and Kairi looked at the parchment before Sora took the quill and he signed the papers first and then Kairi signed them.

"Excellent. I shall present these to the ministry and they will have no say in the boys life. Who would you like for the Proxy in the Wizengamot?"

"Nobody for now. We don't really know anybody from that world until we meet with the Greengrasses. We are not too sure who to trust." Said Kairi.

"For now. Make the seat vacant. Nobody not even the Chief Warlock, can try to use the votes." Said Merlin.

"What else would you like for me to do?" Asked Bloodtooth.

"Seal any vaults that belong to the Potter family including Harry's trust Vault. Someone had already taken his key earlier but my servant Trickster got it back. They may have already made a copy of the key." Said Merlin.

"What!" Exclaimed Sora, Riku and Kairi.

"I shall have it done immediately." Said Bloodtooth putting the papers in his bag. "Anything else?"

"No that's should do it Mr Bloodtooth?" Said Sora.

"Very good. Who do I send bank statements to?" Asked Bloodtooth.

"I can help you with that Bloodtooth. I shall return you back to Gringotts." Said Merlin before he opened up his bag and he pulled out all of Harry's baby toys, clothes and books in a neat pile. "I have taken the liberty of retrieving all of the potters belongings. I shall place the rest of the potters belongings in the main potter vault after I take Bloodtooth back. I shall be resuming my investigation for I have yet to gain the answers we seek." Said Merlin.

"Until we meet again Mr, Osment, Miss Paniteirre." Said Bloodtooth before Merlin vanished in a puff of smoke like he normally does. Sora looked at Harry who yawned. "Some one's getting sleepy. Let's give him a bath and then it's off to bedtime"

"Yeah, we technically have been awake for almost twenty four hours, we fought in battle. Restored balance and right now some sleep sounds really good" said Kairi.

"I'm gonna head home…tomorrow we'll head to the Land of Departure and rejoin the others." Said Riku before he ruffled Harry's hair, "goodnight Squirt."

"Say goodnight to Riku Harry," said Kairi. He made a few baby noises which made Riku chuckle. He then left the osment household to head for his own home.

"We'll be heading out too. I will still bring the adoption papers from our world as well…just in case" said Ruko. Ruko and Hikari bid them all a goodnight with the two giving Harry a goodnight kiss headed home. Sora and Kairi went up to the bathroom and started Harry's bath, thankfully Sora had gotten baby soap when he bought the other stuff. After giving Harry a bath and putting him in a fresh pair of Pajamas. They went into Sora's room where a Pack and Play was all set up in the corner, his bedroom was of a normal teenager boy.

"This pack and play should temporarily serve as a bed for him until we get him something else" said Sora.

"Want a bedtime story before bed Harry?" Kairi asked Harry.

"Uh huh" said Harry. She went to Sora's chair before she sat down with him in her lap.

"Here read him this one" Sora handed her one of his baby books which she opened to the first page and started to read. Sora sat on the armrest. Unaware of the fact that the spirits of James and Lily were watching from outside the window. Lily's hand rested on the window seeing her baby boy with the two teenagers. Her ghostly eyes filled with sadness.

"Lily, we need to go," said James, also saddened that he and Lily would never see their son again until the day comes for them to be united.

"I know. I just wanted to see our baby one more time" said Lily

"Do not worry" spoke a deep voice,

Right behind the two spirits are two other spirits. The first spirit is a lion with a red mane and golden fur. The second spirit is Master Eraqus,

"your son is in good hands," said Mufasa.

"He will be loved and will be guided to his destiny the way he should be." said Master Eraqus.

That made the two parents feel a bit better and they looked back at their son who was laughing at Sora doing funny faces. Kairi could only join in the laughing. Knowing their son was in good hands. The two spirits went back to Mufasa and Master Eraqus, a pillar of golden light appeared from above.

"Come." Said Mufasa before James and Lily look back at their son one last time before vanishing into the pillar of golden light. Their spirits are now at peace knowing their child was safe.

After finishing the book. Harry had finally fallen asleep in Kairis arms again and she was gentle to put him in his pack and play. "he really likes you Kairi"

"The same with you Sora." Said Kairi. Sora looked at his bed and he then said, "I'll go take the couch."

Kairi then stopped him. "We can share your bed Sora..there's plenty of room for the both of us."

Sora nodded before he grabbed a change of clothes before he went first in the shower while Kairi waited for her turn, when Sora got done with his shower and making sure he was in his sleepwear did he lay down on the bed watching the stars while Kairi got her own shower. He heard the shower shut off. A few minutes later Kairi came into the room wearing a white tank top and black boy shorts. She was thankful to pack a few changes of clothes during her training . Her hair is somewhat damp. "Enjoy your shower?" Asked Sora.

"I did" she said before she joined him in the covers. She then laid her head on his chest before kissing him on the lips which he returned, "good night Sora" she said with love in her voice,

"Good night Kai" said Sora before not too long did sleep take them.

/end Chapter./

Like I said in the previous chapter. The first few chapters will be sort of an extended prologue before we get to the main characters of the story, leave a review and like, no bad ones.
