Note: For the people who already reviewed the first draft, Thank you Thank you Thank you! If you want my full thanks, check my bio. You don't have to read this again, I just changed some minor things.
Hullo, minna-san! Aimee here. ^-^ This story is a Harry Potter and Card Captor Sakura crossover. And it's DIFFERENT than all the other HP/CCS stories. Sakura doesn't get a letter of acceptance; Harry doesn't go to Japan. How can I say this? Sakura and the gang are old enough to be parents. Like they're in their late 20's or something. Simple enough? Good. Let's start.
This is the revised draft. Either you review or I kick it off and delete it. Stays in the CCS section until further notice.
Summary: During Christmas Break at Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Cho are assigned to take care of a girl their age. The girl had been put into a deep sleep and was erased of her memories by someone unknown. Unless the DADA professor, Eriol Hiiragizawa, or otherwise known as Eli Moon, (See, dubbed names can be good for something!) can confront his past, this girl can't wake up. Unknown to them, when the emerald-eyed, black-haired beauty wakes up, she will land them in a complicated mix of her past.
Oh, and it's HP/CH romance. *sly smile* Find out who YH is.

~*~The Magic of the Present~*~Chapter 1: New Girl~*~
Harry sat near the warm fireplace, not too far from Ron . Harry could hear his best friend muttering, "She's gone." Harry smiled. Recently Ron and Hermione were dating, and Ron was a bit heartbroken that Hermione had already left for the Winter Break.
'Things are definitely different this year,' Harry thought. Things were kept quiet, and nothing really exciting happened…yet. This year Hermione was declared prefect, as expected. A new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was assigned, Professor Moon. Harry could admit that the new professor was as good as his third-year DADA teacher, Remus Lupin. Professor Moon was fun but mysterious, and he rarely gave detention.
One big change, though, was Cho Chang herself.
~*~flashback~*~
"Who are we with for our first class, 'Mione?" Harry managed to say while stuffing his mouth.
"Chew first, Harry. You too, Ron," Hermione commanded. "We have DADA with the new professor and the Ravenclaws."
"As long as it's not Slytherein," Ron said none too clearly. "And how do you say the professor's name? Hirag- Hiiri- Higiza-"
"Hiiragizawa," Hermione said simply. "It's Japanese. I studied a bit of Japanese a few years back."
"Knowing our Hermione, she probably knows the whole dictionary," Harry joked.
"How'd you get the time?" Ron asked incredulously.
Hermione made a snorting sound and hit her boyfriend on the back of his head.
A giggling sound was heard. "Just as long as you don't go into another snogging session," Ginny said, "I'll stay here for breakfast."
Harry flashed a smile to Ginny, making the girl turn light pink. "Where were you during the summer, Ginny?" he asked.
"You missed Gin because she was out with some other boy," Ron said with a mischievous smile, making Ginny blush even harder.
"Really? Who?" Harry asked, hoping that Ginny had forgotten her infatuation with him.
"For the time being, he's mysterious," Hermione said with a large smile. "But Ginny did once said that he had chestnut hair and emerald eyes…"
"I think my little sister has a thing for boys with green eyes, Harry," Ron muttered. Ginny, still blushing madly, started to eat and ignored the people she was with.
~*~
"Good Morning and I'm your DADA teacher, Professor Hiiragizawa," a dark blue-haired man said who was wearing a blue robe and glasses.
"If you think about it, he sort of looks like you, Harry," Hermione whispered.
Harry stifled a laughter. "That's how I'll look ten years from now?" Ron was seated in the middle of his two best friends. An empty seat was next to Hermione.
"He's young," Ron noted. "Maybe five years younger than Lupin."
"I've noticed that many of you are unable to say my name correctly, so I will permit to let you call me by my first name, Eriol. If that makes you uneasy, then you can call me by my English name, Eli Moon instead," the teacher continued.
The trio glanced at each other. "Moon," they agreed.
Just then there was a knock at the door, and Dumbledore and Cho Chang came in. Harry's heartbeat grew faster as he noticed the girl with honey colored hair and clear blue eyes. ^-^In this story, that's how Cho looks like^-^
"Hello, Professor…Moon, I now hear?" Dumbledore asked, his eyes twinkling.
"You've heard correctly," Moon said with a smile.
Cho's eyes had been on the floor, but then she looked up, as the teacher confirmed his other name. Her blue eyes widened and her hand flew to her mouth, silencing a gasp. She glanced at Dumbledore, sending a question with her eyes.
"This is Cho Chang," the headmaster introduced gesturing to the girl beside him. "There has been some difficulties back home, making her miss the train and come to Hogwarts today. She will join this class."
Conspicuous whispers were heard as soon as Dumbledore had said this. The trio was confused also. Wasn't Cho to be in the sixth year?
"Chang," Moon said as scanned a list next to him. "There must be some mistake. I have her with the sixth years, Dumbledore."
Dumbledore smiled. "In theory, yes, she is to be with the sixth years. But technically, she's to be placed with the fifth years."
"I'm still confused…" Moon murmured.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at Cho. Then Cho's sad face suddenly lit up with a small smile. "Professor, you see I enrolled in Hogwarts when I was ten, due to my experience with magic. And Dumbledore thinks… er, that I should rejoin to students my age," Cho explained.
Everyone was astounded with the news. Cho actually came to Hogwarts a year early?
"I see," Moon said. "But may I ask, why did Ms. Chang get accepted so early?"
Dumbledore chuckled. "Hiiragizawa, don't we all have secrets? I sure Cho will tell when she feels the time is right. I assume you are okay with this?"
"Yes. Chang, sit next to Ms. Granger please." Cho sat in the empty seat with a mysterious smile as Dumbledore left the room.
"Let's see. Can anyone tell me what you have been learning for the last few years?" Moon asked the class.
~*~
"Gosh, he's as good as Lupin!" Hermione said as they were packing up for the next class.
"At least we're learning something useful," Ron said.
Harry didn't join in. He was staring at the new girl who had just joined his year. Cho was helping Professor Moon clean up.
"Professor, do you have another name, besides Eli Moon?" Harry heard Cho's clear voice say.
"Yes. It's Eriol Hiiragizawa."
"Eriol Hiiragizawa," Cho repeated perfectly. "Would you mind if I called you Eriol?"
"No, I wouldn't mind. But usually people can't say my name."
"It's Japanese, isn't it? My mother's Japanese, and I know quite a bit of it."
"Ms. Ch-"
"Call me Cho, Professor."
"Cho, may I ask why you came to Hogwarts a year early?"
Cho paused. She studied her professor closely. Harry wanted to hear what she was to say next, but Hermione was tugging on his sleeves.
"You remind me of my brother," Cho said softly. "He even looks like you. Black hair and glasses. And inquisitive, too." She got a faraway look in her eyes. "I hope he's alright now," she said.
"Did something happen to-" Eriol started to say but was cut off.
"Oh! I'm going to be late! Nice talking to you, Professor Eriol!" Cho said cheerfully before exiting. She looked around. "Matte kudasai! Hermione!" she called.
Hermione turned around. Ron and Harry stopped walking too.
"I knew you'd stop. You know Japanese too, right?" Cho said as she ran up to them.
Hermione stared. "How'd you know about that…"
Cho didn't answer Hermione's question. She tilted her head to the side, considering the girl carefully. Her lips twitched, as is she was suppressing the urge to laugh. Harry felt butterflies in his stomach being next to his crush.
"Hermione, you're not wearing your pin," Cho said carefully.
"What pin?" Hermione asked, confused.
Cho giggled. "This," was all she said as she took something from her bag and fastened it to Hermione's robe.
"What!? I'm a prefect!" Hermione said as she stole a glance at the badge.
"I was one last year. This year I'm a prefect, too. Everyone was busy this summer and the prefect letters weren't sent, unfortunately. Actually, can you help me? Dumbledore gave me the list of prefects and I have to tell them and give them the badge. I have class with Slytherein next, so I'll take care of them." Cho said this in a hurry as she took a piece of parchment and tore it in half and gave one half to Hermione.
"You can do Hufflepuff, since you have them next with Hagrid." Cho passed Hermione a bag. "That's the badges. You need to pass out the badges because we have an meeting in McGonagall's room during lunch. We have Arithmancy together before lunch, so we'll talk then." Cho said in a rush before taking a breath.
"How'd you know all that?" Hermione asked.
Cho closed her eyes and smiled. "I know lots of things. During lunch I'll tell you how." Cho glanced at Hermione. "We all have secrets, but someday it'll be told." She glanced at her watch, and cringed. "Professor Flitwick might let me slide today. Being late usually doesn't run in the family, I guess."
Cho looked at Hermione. "You don't have to ask. My brother enchanted it so my watch could work and adapt to the overdose of magic. We'll talk later, okay? Don't forget the Hufflepuff prefects!" she called before running off.
~*~
Harry and Ron were walking early to their next class. It was lunch, so they had a lot of time. Hermione (and Cho) were at their prefects meeting. Hermione had managed to find the Hufflepuff prefects and tell them the news. When the trio parted as the boys went to Divination and Hermione to Arithmancy, Harry wished that he was quit Trelawney's class like she did so he could meet Cho. And as the usual went, after lunch they had Potions with Snape and Slytherein.
As the boys turned a corner, they saw Malfoy with Hermione and Cho.
Harry and Ron switched glances. "Trouble's brewing whenever Malfoy's around," Harry stated as they ran to the girls.
"What'd you do, Chang? Fail every one of your exams that you would have to repeat the fifth year again?" Malfoy sneered to the girl.
"Why I ought to-"Hermione said as she lunged toward. Cho struggled to keep her friend back.
"What can you do a pureblood like me, mudblood?" Malfoy smirked. This statement, of course made Ron covered in fury. Harry pulled on his friend's robes to stop him from furthering on his attack.
At the same time, Cho let go Hermione with fire in her eyes. Without touching the Slytherein boy, she flung Malfoy to the wall with her hands. "How dare you say something like that, something that vile to a witch who is just as good as you!" Cho said in anger.
Harry saw Malfoy slump down to the floor, still conscious. He could see how hard the impact had hit the brick wall; bits and bits were crumbling.
This time, Hermione put a comforting hand on Cho's shoulder. Cho closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. It's just that my anger took over me," she said quietly.
Cho opened her eyes and started walking toward Malfoy. "Still, Malfoy, you know not to mess with me," she said in a stern voice. "Didn't your mother say something like that about me once?"
Malfoy's eyes opened, remembering something. He struggled to get up, but failed. "You'll be in worse condition if you move," Cho said in a soothing voice as she knelt beside him. She placed her hands over Malfoy and a soft indigo light came from it. In seconds Malfoy was healed.
Cho stood up and gave a hand to the fallen boy. Malfoy reluctantly took it and stood up. "I have a message from your mother," Cho said softly, looking directly at Malfoy. Malfoy looked at her as if to say, "Go on."
Cho turned and started moving her hands at the wall. Harry could see that the wall was rapidly repairing itself, before it had a large Malfoy-imprint a few seconds ago. "She says that she loves you from the far distance she's from, and to never forget about her. Narcissia ^-^That's her name, right? I'm not too sure.^-^ also said to be true to your heart, against all odds, even if it means ending up like her." Cho paused as the last crack in the wall vanished. She turned and put both hands on Malfoy's shoulders, making the boy look directly at her.
Harry felt a pang of jealousy, put he pushed it down. There was nothing he could do but watch stupidly. "Draco Malfoy," Cho said grimly. "There was one thing she couldn't tell you though." Cho let go of his shoulders, but he remained focused on her.
Cho took a deep breath, and to Harry it seemed that she was swallowing her tears. "Two weeks before my leave for Hogwarts, Voldemort attacked Kaho Mizuki's house. (Harry was shocked to hear someone say the Dark Lord's name. Ron and Hermione visibly flinched.) Everyone was there, including your mother and I. When I became conscious, only four other people were with me." Cho bowed her head. "You mother wasn't one of them," she said softly.
"Okaa-san sent me to school, despite my efforts to stay and help. That's why I arrived here on the second day; kaa-san was firm to let me go. Onni-chan says that we have until Halloween, they're all declared dead. Xiefa is keeping publicity under control, for now at the least. I don't know where they are right now, whether they're rebuilding or if they've moved. Ni-chan said he'll contact me if need be."
Silence was held for a while. Malfoy turned and walked toward the Potions class silently. "Hope, Draco, and believe in your heart," Cho said loud enough for him to hear.
Cho turned to face the trio with the same sad face that Harry had seen when she had walked in the DADA class that morning. "I would like it if you wouldn't tell anyone about this event," she said as she paused. "Especially to Ginny about the Dark Lord attacking my family."
"What about Ginny?" Ron asked. "And won't Malfoy tell?"
Cho started to walk past the trio as she said, "Malfoy won't tell. He knows what's best for him and what will happen if he decides to speak. Besides, he needs to think about what happened to him during this summer." She turned the corner. Harry noticed that she avoided answering Ron's first question about Ginny.
Hermione noticed it too. "She didn't say about Ginny," she murmured as they walked towards Potions.
"How did she managed to do that to Malfoy, though?" Harry thought out loud.
"She has…an inner power," Hermione said lightly. "Telekinesis or something like that. Cho said that she was born with it from something her father could do. It's really powerful and it's said that even Rowena Ravenclaw had that skill."
"So that's why Cho came to school early. She was already advanced with magic," Harry said. "What kinds of things can she do exactly?"
"You've already seen it, and Cho says that she's still in the developing stage. She can move things with her hands or eyes, heal living things, alter the way an object looks, blow things to pieces, and read or send thoughts." Hermione said.
"So basically anything, because it all has to do with her mind and thoughts," Ron said. But what did she mean, 'he needs to think about what happened to him during this summer'?"
"You're asking the wrong people, Ron," Harry said.
~*~end flashback~*~
The cold winter breeze woke Harry up from his sleep. 'I was so deep into my thoughts that I fell asleep, and it's morning already.' Harry stood up to close the window and looked outside on the Quidditch field. 'That first day back…I saw more of Cho than I had seen during the past four years.' Thinking of Cho, and seeing the white-covered Quidditch field brought another flashback to Harry.
It was during a Quidditch match, and the new Keeper was Ron himself. Gryffindor's first match was against the Ravenclaws…
~*~flashback~*~
Harry's fingers closed over the snitch. The crowd erupted in cheers as Lee (Jordan) announced the they had won ("Again!"). Just then, Harry's lightning shaped scar gave the boy a spasm of pain and then Harry heard voices in his head.
"We've found Arabella, so you can break the news to Minerva. But still no sign of our cousins," a boy's voice said, but it was very, very faint.
"Eli-" a girl's voice said much more clearly than the boy's, and Harry immediately recognized as Cho. He could hear a sharp gasp from the Ravenclaw girl. "Eli," Cho's voice said again, only this time it quavered a bit. "He's here. I can feel it."
"Who?" the faint male's voice said.
"She means me," another voice said, only it was it was as clear as Cho's voice and gave shudders to Harry. Harry had heard this voice before, filled with such coldness and malice; it was the voice of Voldemort.
"Go back the hell you came from and stop barging in my life!" Cho angrily said.
"It's already late for that, isn't dear?" the hard voice said.
"Leave my sister alone, Riddle. She's not the one you want," the boy said.
"All of your doings are utter nonsense. What happened years ago won't happen again. So keep my family as well Harry out of your whole affair!" Cho said.
Voldemort gave derisive snort. "You're not the one to tell lies, dear. What I want, I will end up getting. Even if it means breaking a few rules. Even if it means killing your family."
"You wouldn't dare!" Fear was shown in Cho's voice.
"I would dare, girl. You know perfectly why I want them dead and what I want to obtain. To achieve it Potter would have to be out of the way. True, we can't have the past repeating. I want the world at our feet and I want my ancestor to be avenged. Millions will die, thousands will weep, but I will laugh!" Voldermort's cruel laugh rung in Harry's ears.
"Hisui was right. Destiny is repeating," the boy murmured but was drowned out by a large cheer that Harry had heard earlier from the stands. In the midst of it he still could hear the cruel laugh.
Then Harry received a headache as the cheer and laugh grew fainter. A choked sob was heard from Cho. "No," she said quietly but clearly. "It can't happen. What happened in the past can't happen in the future!" Harry felt another pain pass. "Help," Cho said weakly. "Reality…can't hold on…" she said as her voice grew fainter.
Harry's head cleared and as his eyes snapped back open he searched the field frantically for Cho. He found her high above the Quidditch field on the other side. Squinting, Harry saw Cho suddenly clutch her head. "Somebody…help…please…" Harry heard her voice say telepathically. Harry watched in horror as Cho slipped of her broom and plummeted downwards.
^-^Ahh…cliffy. I think I'll stop here. You know the rules. You review, I write. Don't worry, if I feel motivated you'll find out who YH is. Besides, it's obvious that Harry likes Cho, so how will he feel when he meets the unknown YH? ^-^
^-^This chapter is too long anyway. In the first chapter Harry was supposed to meet Jade. But I had to sum up the things that happened before Winter Break^-^
^-^Oh yeah. You know Ginny's boyfriend? The one with chestnut hair and emerald eyes? Dum dum dum. It's Sakura and Syaoran's child. Only I don't know his name. His real name is Xiaolang Li (like his father), but I can't have the gang calling the chibi that! No way! So help me and give me a name that suit's the poor child, kay?^-^
^-^Last thing. Couples are Sakura/Syaoran, Chiharu/Takahashi, Rika/Tereda (what's his first name, anyway? Yoshi-something.), Tomoyo/Eriol, YH/Harry (girl unidentified. For now, Cho.), Hermione/Ron, Hisui/Eli (guess who they are), and Ginny/Xiaolang. Oh and Meiling/Sirius…and another couple revealed at the end.^-^
