Starts between Episode 46 and 47. Eriol and Meiling come in later.
'Damn,' Syaoran thought. He was late for a meeting with Sakura and Tomoyo. "Syaoran-sama, this came in the mail today," Wei said, handing him an envelope. Syaoran raised an eyebrow as he read the address written on the envelope in his hands.
Syaoran Li, Block 2A, No. 14 Selter Apartments, Tomoeda, Japan, Master Bedroom
'Well,' he reasoned. 'What harm could there be in opening it?' So open it he did.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Mr Li,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
Syaoran frowned. Him? A wizard? He was more powerful than wizards twice his age. He scowled and stuffed the envelope into his backpack as he glanced at the time. 'Damn,' He thought as he shouted a goodbye to Wei. 'Kinomoto's rubbing off on me.'
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Syaoran sighed and rolled his eyes. "That's Sakura Kinomoto for you," He said, running past her house. "Always late."
At that moment, Sakura skated quickly out of her house gate. At the sight of Syaoran, she visibly relaxed. "Li-kun! You're late, too?" Syaoran gave a curt nod and continued running. "Great! So I'm not the only one!" Syaoran gave a slight smile and continued running towards the park.
As Syaoran spread a picnic blanket out on the ground, Sakura asked, "Ano, Li-kun, do you know what this means?" She held out an envelope that was addressed to her. It seemed to be made of the same kind of paper as Syaoran's, and had her name and address written in bright green. Syaoran's eyes widened.
"You got this too?" He asked, pulling out his own letter. "Hai. What is it?" Syaoran shook his head. "It seems like an invitation to that school," He said. "But we're sorcerers and sorceresses, not witches and wizards. Our power is much greater than theirs," He said, a serious look starting to form on his face. Sakura frowned. "Then, why were we –?"
Just then, Tomoyo arrived and asked Sakura, "Sakura-chan, did you receive this letter?" She, as well, held out an envelope similar to Sakura and Syaoran's. "Tomoyo-chan, you too?" Sakura asked, distress clear in her voice. "What are we going to do?" She asked, flopping down onto the grass. "Well, there's only one thing we can do," Syaoran said. "Go."
"Otou-san, I have a letter from a magic school in England saying I have a place there – "
"Mother, could I possibly go? It would be a great opportunity to enhance my magical skills - "
"Sakura-chan and Li-kun have gotten invitations as well, so - "
"Could I go?" The three asked in unison.
"Of course, Sakura, but you have to get supplies with your little friends and stick close, alright?"
"Xiao Lang, you are right. This Hogwarts sounds rather nice, I must say. Go ahead, but I want an heir from you by the time you're 23!"
"Tomoyo, you have…magic…?" A sigh. "I should have known. Your father was a wizard, you know. Very well, you can go."
"Hoeee! Yatta!"
"Thank you, but…an…heir…? Mother!"
"Was he, really? Arigato, Okaa-san!"
Syaoran stretched as he pulled out the list in the envelope.

Syaoran plopped down onto his bed. "All this, plus I keep blushing around her…" He muttered to himself. "Tomorrow's gonna be a long day…"
First Chapter. What do you think? I just couldn't resist after seeing at least two people write the CCS/HP crossover. Reviews much appreciated. Eriol comes in some time later. And yes, I did copy the letter and list from Harry Potter Book 1. And I didn't know Syaoran's address, so I made it up. Ah well.
Syaoran: Ah well? How would you like it if you had to live in a weird place you don't even know?
Ah. Well, I'm the authoress; I can do whatever I want with you. I can even make you admit your feelings for Sakura if I feel like it. Which, I predict, I will, later on in the story. –grins evilly– Shut up. Review, please!
Sincerely,
