What the…a Letter Delivering Owl

Several years after her fight with the reincarnated version of Clow Reed, Eriol Hiiragizawa, a very powerful sorcerer, Sakura Kinomoto thought things were finally getting back to normal. At least, as normal as it can get for her. Originally the Clow cards, the Sakura cards were created to help Sakura's power grow and save the world from a catastrophe. Through her journey she made a lot of friends that would do anything to help her, and in Tomoyo's case, to also film her. Sakura's friend Syaoran Li was always willing to put up a good fight to protect her, by using his own brand of magic.

Syaoran is a descendant of Clow Reed, so having been born with powers was no surprise. For Sakura, however, it came as a great shock to find that she had any power-not to mention finding out that her father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, was the other half of Clow's reincarnated self.

All this was behind her now. Sakura, along with her friends, was now 15 and in high school, no longer the child who was thrown into the world of magic. She was now able to fully control the cards and would only use them in a dyer emergency, or at the least, tormenting her older brother, Touya.

Touya's best friend, Yukito Tsukishiro, also known as Yue, was created to protect the master, or mistress, of the cards. Yue, an angel warrior figure, is Yukito's true form, but only transforms when Sakura is in danger.

Another guardian to help Sakura is a large, winged lion, named Cerberus, however only part of the time is he considered large. Most of the time he's in his false form, which resembles that of a rather small winged plush toy, whom Sakura and Tomoyo fondly call Kero-chan.

As all the Clow cards, or should I say Sakura cards, are all under Sakura's control, she's been able to settle down into her normal routine: getting to school just-in-time, going to cheerleading practice, and just being able to hang out with her friends.

Even though Syaoran was supposed to return to his home in Hong Kong, he found it best to stay in Japan with Sakura, after the realization that they loved each other. Syaoran's mother protested at first but knew it was best if he stayed with Sakura, "just-in-case." With the amount of magical energy emanating from her being, Sakura could be a victim of a power-seeking madman at any time. Well, this was the excuse given to Syaoran's mom, anyway.

Of course, with anyone possessing powers, a time of peace is only short lived. With this in mind Sakura and her friends decided to live each day without worry and without magic, as much as possible. This tactic worked for a while, that is, until the letters started to arrive.

"Hey, Sakura!" Touya shouted. "You've got mail." Sakura heard him from her room. 'I'm not expecting any letters,' she thought. 'I wonder who it can be from.' Sakura walked down stairs to find Touya looking suspiciously at the owl perched on his arm. Sakura noticed an envelope in the owl's beak.

"What the…a letter delivering owl?" she asked. "Right…" She grabbed the letter and ran upstairs to her room to examine it. She ripped open the envelope, barely even noticing the odd seal that secured the letter.

Dear Sakura,

We are writing to inform you that Japan has just signed an agreement with the Minister of Magic, and is now being asked to keep our magic wielding under wraps. We are to avoid detection of the muggles, or non-magic wielding citizens. As you may already know, there have been a lot of disturbances involving magic, and has been broadcast on the news for everyone, especially muggles, to see. Such instances involve a "Sailor Moon," another was a young girl seen flying on what looked to be a wand with wings.

To this Sakura could only say, "Ho-e," which was her word quite frequently used to express either embarrassment or confusion, before she continued reading.

Because of these disturbances, we are being asked to regulate the use of magic, and have to report any misuse of magic. Misuse is referring to any magic being used before the wielder is of the rightful age of 18, or 17 depending on the year their studies are complete; doing magic in plain sight of muggles, without the proper precautions; or for any purposes involving evil or the like.

To solve the said problems, all magic users not of age are to be sent to special schools to receive the proper training. As for those of age, they will be having check-ups to ensure they understand the need for this cooperation.

Enclosed, you will find the name of the school you will be attending, a list of supplies you will need, and advice on how to acquire these items and how to get to your school. You will also find enclosed a charm to help you speak and understand any language, just in case you're not already fluent in the languages spoken at the school you are to attend. The charm can only work as long as you wear it.

Sincerely,

Yoshi Yamomoto

Ministry of Magic

Sakura then set the letter down and checked the list of supplies. Most of the items she'd never be able to find in a million years. 'It's a good thing they've included this advice sheet,' she thought. Sakura looked at the advice given and it had included information about a portkey, or transportation device that would be placed at Tomoeda Elementary on July 29th to take her, and any others in that area, to Diagon Alley to purchase the needed supplies. It also included a message stating that there would be a ride from Diagon Alley to Kings Cross Station to take her to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Hogwarts?" she asked to no one. "What kind of a name is that?"

"Hogwarts?" asked Kero. "What's that?" Kero had appeared from his little room in Sakura's desk drawer.

"Oh, Kero, I got a letter saying I have to attend a magic school so I can properly use magic, or something." Kero looked at the letter inquisitively.

"Well, it looks authentic enough; maybe you should call the brat to see if he's gotten one as well. He does have some power after all."

"When are you going to stop calling him a brat? I mean, we are 15 now."

"Yeah, but I love to annoy him by calling him that." Sakura just shook her head at Kero. She was about to pick up the phone to call Syaoran when the phone started to ring.

"Hello…Oh hi Syaoran-kun, I was just about to call you…Yeah I got a letter…I'm not sure what this means, but we'll have to show up at this 'portkey' to find out…My charm? Oh, yeah, I forgot to check." She took the charm out of the envelope, and attached it to her clothing. "Mine's a wing shaped pin, what's yours?" Syaoran's charm was a sword shaped pin that looked almost exactly like the one used to harness his powers, only smaller.

"We only have a few short weeks to get ready," said Sakura. "I don't know how I'm going to tell my family. But, I suppose if we're going to be using magic we'll have to go. I'm so glad you're going to the same school as me, I don't know if I'd be able to make it all by myself. I mean if it wasn't for you and Tomoyo-chan…Oh, no how am I going to tell Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked sadly. "I guess I should try and explain this to her now before it gets too hard to say good-bye…Okay Syaoran-kun, I'll talk to you later."

To Sakura's surprise Tomoyo didn't take the news quite as hard as she thought, but Tomoyo was still very upset, especially since she wouldn't be able to film Sakura anymore. Tomoyo knew that her friend couldn't live without using magic, so it would be useless to convince Sakura otherwise. If she was going to have to say good-bye to her friend for the next couple of years, Tomoyo was sure to want to catch every last moment she could, taping Sakura. During their conversation, however, something very unusual happened.

"Hey, Sakura," said Tomoyo," could you hold on for a second. I have an owl at my window."

"What!" Sakura cried, but had to wait for a response, as Tomoyo had set the phone down to investigate the owl.

"Sakura, it looks like I'm going to be joining you to Hogwarts; unfortunately, the ministry knows about my filming and informed me that because of magical interference electronic equipment can't work on school grounds," Tomoyo said this in a sort of pout, but she quickly changed her tune. "But I can at least be there to watch your magic grow."

"That's great, Tomoyo-chan", Sakura had now grown so accustomed to Tomoyo's filming she'd learned to block out most any mention of it. "I thought it was going to be difficult to leave you, now I won't have to-wait, I didn't think you had any magical powers."

"That's funny," said Tomoyo, "neither did I. But I suppose we'll find out soon enough." Unfortunately for Sakura, explaining this to her brother and father wasn't going to be that easy.

Most of the answers of "no" were coming from her brother. Sakura's father just smiled in that kind way of his and decided to let the two work the problem out in their own way. "No way am I letting you go anywhere with that kid!" shouted Touya, referring to Syaoran.

"But big brother, Tomoyo's going too and besides, it's not like we won't be supervised. The ministry is even going to send someone, a responsible adult even, to meet us at the portkey, and to escort us all the way to the train station. If you don't believe me you can come with us to the portkey and check for yourself." A lot more protesting on Touya's behalf followed but he finally gave in, after all, it wasn't Sakura he couldn't trust but it was the 'kid' he was convinced he couldn't trust.

Meanwhile…in a house not too far from Sakura's, another young magic user had just received her letter.

Staring out of her bedroom window from the most bizarre experience she'd ever encountered, Hotaru Tomoe held the letter that would change her life. Changes were all too common occurrence to her, 'You'd think I'd start to see this coming,' she thought.

Hotaru Tomoe is a member of the Sailor Soldiers, of which Sailor Moon is the leader of. Hotaru is known best as Sailor Saturn, the one ruling over death and destruction. She has the power to destroy worlds with just three words. A few years back she had to use her power to destroy an evil entity. If not for Sailor Moon Hotaru would surely be dead. Sailor Moon, or better known as Usagi, brought her back to life as a baby. Later that year there was another evil bent on destroying the world that awakened Hotaru to about the age of 10. After which she came to live with Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune or Haruka and Michiru respectively. Her father is now in the hospital, and has been since Hotaru had been transformed into a baby. But they visit him often. Things had finally started getting normal, no evil trying to erase humanity or anything like that, but now an owl was just at her window.

After reading the letter, Haruka and Michiru walked in, each carrying a letter of their own.

"So you've received one as well," said Haruka.

"You both have to go to a school too?" asked Hotaru.

"No, we don't, but you do, since you're only 15, you still have several years before you're 'legally' able to use your powers," said Haruka.

"Then what did your letters say?" asked Hotaru.

"We just have to meet with someone in the ministry of magic to have our powers tested so we can get our magic licenses or something," said Haruka.

"Does the letter say where you'll be attending?" asked Michiru. Hotaru checked the envelope and produced a welcoming letter and a list of supplies.

"It says I'm to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England.

"England!" exclaimed Michiru. "Why England?"

Haruka was still perusing her letter and noticed something. "Apparently they've yet to create a proper place for learning magic in Japan, as they've only just been notified this month of the changes taken place for magic users in this country."

"But why all of a sudden?" asked Michiru.

"I dunno, something to with someone who can't be mentioned, or something. Just as an added precaution to keep everyone safe. Also, to keep a better connection to those who would be of most value if the worst should happen."

"What does that mean?" demanded Haruka. Just then another owl flew though the open window and dropped a newspaper before flying back out. "What's this?" It had a short note attached to it.

This Paper is to welcome you to the wizarding world and let you know of the happenings in it. If you would like to subscribe to the Daily Prophet just

"Blah, blah just open the paper already," said Hotaru.

The paper had odd sorts of stories about a dark lord returning (although just mentioned as speculation as of yet) and added security measures in the possibility he does return. It also mentioned a Harry Potter, and Hogwarts.

"They expect me to attend a school that's made it in the paper in the same article as a dark lord?" said Hotaru. "They've got to be joking."

"Well, it says here that Hogwarts is still the safest place to be as its headmaster is the powerful wizard Albus Dumbledore, the only one known to frighten this dark lord," said Michiru.

After looking at the paper for awhile they began to notice that the people in the pictures were actually moving. "Very strange," said Hotaru.

Later that day they all agreed that Hotaru would be attending Hogwarts, since not complying would result in severe punishment, mainly that if she didn't go the sailor scouts would lose one of their strongest fighters, if she couldn't use her powers.

Just to be sure that Hotaru stayed safe, the scouts arranged for Luna, one of their guardians, who just happened to be a talking cat. She would help keep Hotaru supervised, and report back to the other sailors on her progress as well as any new findings about this 'Dark Lord' fellow.

Rather than meeting at the designated place for something called a portkey, they decided to see Hotaru off right and use the 'sailor teleport', so she'd be sure to reach her destination safely.
