"Hello class! I'm your new teacher, Professor Kinomoto. Pleased to meet you!" Sakura told the class of magical students.

A few sniggered at this. Sakura immediately looked disheartened. She sighed. Why did she have to do this again? Oh yeah; Eriol signed her up to be the new Defense against the dark arts teacher. In Hogwarts, England where she doesn't know ANYONE! "Well, I suppose you can turn to page 36 in your textbooks then."

The class sniggered again and again Sakura sighed. She would SO kill that crazy reincarnation!

"Well, hurry up!" Sakura said, getting more and more impatient by the second. Finally a boy piped up, "You didn't tell us which textbook."

Sakura wanted to bang her head against the table or the nearest wall. "Advanced Defense L7 by Eriol Hiiragizawa… WHAT! HIIRAGIZAWA AGAIN! I"LL KILL THT CREEP! NOT ONLY GETTING ME A TEACHING JOB WHEN I' ONLY 10 T MAKING ME TEACH FROM HIS TEXTBOOKS AS WELL! I'M TEACHING STUDENTS WHO ARE 18 AND 19 FOR GOODNESS SAKE!"

The class looked at her and laughed. Well, half of the class laughed. The other half smiled and 3 students in particular looked at her pityingly. That was the final straw. "50 points off Slytherin for disrespect to teachers. And 10 points to Gryffindor for being considerate enough to not laugh in my lessons." Sakura said, rather dangerously. All the students shut up. "Now, as I was saying, get out you Advanced Defense L7 and turn to pg36. Today we will learn about the magical properties of Sorcerers as opposed to Wizards. Now who knows the difference between the two?"

A hand shot up. Sakura looked in her roll book and discovered it was Miss Hermione Granger. "Yes, Miss Granger?"

"Sorcerers are magical people who use the elements in their magic while most wizards must rely on their wand to perform magic."

"Correct 20 points to Gryffindor. But that is not all. Who can tell me the name of the greatest sorcerer of all time?"

Hermione's hand shot up again. "Clow Reed, Professor Kinomoto."

Sakura laughed. "Well, that was correct maybe hmm; let me see, 3 years ago. Can anyone tell me the present one?"

"Oh, I don't know, you?" piped up a voice from somewhere in the room.

"How did you know?" Sakura answered, disbelief written all over her face. The students all laughed at this and Sakura frowned. "I'm serious."

The class all looked puzzled at this. The long silence was broken by Harry Potter who rescued Sakura by saying, "But what does all this have to do with Defense against the Dark Arts?"

Sakura laughed again and the silence became cheerful again. "I'll show you."

Sakura drew out her Star key and tossed it in the air. She murmured "Firey!" and flames shot out around the classroom. All the students gasped. They were all in shock. "Oh, quit it," Sakura said, annoyed by their antics and called the Firey back. "That was a demonstration. I didn't say anything there and you were supposed to try to put out the fire. All you did was stare! Is that what you would do if a Death Eater turned the Crucio Curse on you?"

Everyone was silent. "Ok, I'll do that again but with a different element. See if you can block it this time." Sakura murmured, "Storm!" and the class were filled with a raging storm. Many voices were heard, most expressing surprise. Only one shouted "Sielody!" and a shield were formed around 3 people in the centre of the class. Sakura clapped and retrieved her card. "Very good, you three. 50 points to Gryffindor!"

The trio was Hermione, Harry and Ron. They looked soaked and angry as did the rest of the class. "Oh, I forgot to dry you up! Sakura exclaimed. "Watery! Suck up all the water from the class!"

Everyone was suddenly dry. A thing that looked like a sprite returned to Sakura's hand. "Sorry about that. Now we shall work in threes. I will set a card on each of you. Please come up to collect a card then we shall begin."

Everyone got into threes except 2 people at the back. Sakura looked to see how many groups there were. 16 groups including the pair were present. Sakura laid out some of her offensive cards including Arrow, Earthy, Erase, Fight, Firey, Freeze, Sword, Lock, Mist, Maze, Power, Sand, Thunder, Watery, Shot and Snow. She laid them in a pile then called one of each group to collect a card. When the pile was empty, Sakura called, "Release and Dispel, all cards away from the Sakura Book!"

Pandemonium appeared in the class. All the cards were incased by the shield so nobody was disturbed. Sakura finally felt the pull that meant one of her cards had been defeated and looked to see which groups had won. She was surprised to see it was the twosome and even more surprised at who the pair was.

"S-s-s- Syaoran-kun?" she whispered. "Meling-chan?"

Meling smiled. "Good to see you, Sakura-chan!"

Syaoran's face broke into a smile. "Sensei ohayo gozaimusu," he said mockingly and bowed.

Sakura blushed and regained her composure. "Well, what house are you in then?"

"Gryffindor, "Meling said. "Slytherin," Syaoran said simultaneously.

"Oh, well, 30 points to each Gryffindor and Slytherin then," Sakura said, smiling. The Firey was handed back to her and Sakura smiled again.

Sakura felt another pull. She smiled (yet AGAIN) at Meling and said, "Sorry, duty calls," blushed at Syaoran and went to find the next group.

The next group was, unsurprisingly, Harry, Ron and Hermione. They had the Shot and that was also handed back to Sakura. She awarded Gryffindor 25 points each. Anther pull and she was at Draco Malfoy's table, the Arrow given to her and 20 points each. Lavender was next in figuring out the puzzle, closely followed by Parvati's group, Seamus's group and even Neville's group. They were awarded 15, 10, 5 and 1 point/s each and 4 cards were returned to Sakura. Another Slytherin finished but screams were now heard throughout the class, belonging to students who were too scared and didn't know what to do.

Sakura sighed and called back her cards. She faced the class. "Under half of you were able to defeat my cards. The other bigger half weren't. What is the problem here?"

The disgraced half shook their heads and muttered among themselves. "QUIET!" Sakura screamed at them. She took 10 points off whichever house the disgraced students were from. "Homework tonight, write an essay at least 2 parchments long about defense against Sorcerers. That was the practical part of it; the written parts are to be handed in tomorrow. Also prepare a 3 minute long speech about the defense against various elements and objects, also to be handed in tomorrow. Mr and Miss Li, please stay behind, the rest of you may go."

Sakura waited until everyone had gone before releasing Kero and running towards Syaoran again. She hugged him and Meling and slipped back into her native tongue. Suddenly she broke into tears.

"Oh where have you BEEN? So much has happened over the years…" Sakura broke off and tore away from the loving embrace Syaoran had been giving her. "No… don't come near me… leave me alone…"

She ran out of the classroom leaving behind a very confused Syaoran and Meling.
