This is a HP/CCS xover story. I'm told my character is a mary sue so if you don't like that kinda thing than you should probably read something else.

this is a bit of an AU. it takes place in Harry's 6th year, and after Sakura has sealed the cards away. She's lost her powers, and now the cards have to be captured by a new girl, named Arashi (my character :D). Arashi's powers have become recognised by others too, and now Dumbledore has called her in to help with The Order. Okay, that's it!

The story starts at Grimmauld place. Harry is only there as a stop off before going to the Weasley's for the rest of the summer.

Everything you recognise belongs to someone else.

---Grimmauld place---

Harry had been sitting in the musty couch of the main room for what seemed like hours. The smell was starting to get to him. The adults were all talking about the "help" they had called in from Japan. From what Harry gathered, it seemed like Voldemort was getting even more powerful and had more followers than ever.

"From what intellegence can tell us, the dark lord is searching for these... flower card things," Said Snape,who was unfortunately there as well.

"Sakura Cards, is what they're called." Corrected Remus.

"But he was too late," Snape went on. "someone else had already gathered them."

Arthur nodded. "Yes, Arashi Galewich. Her father comes from the powerful English family of purebloods and her mother was apart of some powerful Japanese clan. She's been going to, er..." He flustered at the pronounciation. "Hoo-shee Mah-hoo Say-joo."

"Hoshi Mahou Seiju, yes." Corrected Remus again.

"Right, anyway, we have invited her to Grimmauld place today. We don't know if she'll come or not, unfortunately. It's all up to her."

Harry sighed and shifted uncomfortably in the couch. He hoped that she would show up soon as he was really, really bored.

---Outside Grimmauld place---

Arashi double checked the small piece of paper that had been given to her in the strange letter.

"We're here, guys." She said stuffing it back into her jean pocket. Her black leather back pack suddenly unzipped its self. A black stuffed animal-looking thing flew out on tiny wings. It had pointed ears and a scruffy looking tail. It gave the dilapetated house a critical look.

"What a dump," he said, frowning.

The other figure with Arashi - an older looking girl with soft sea green hair, that was swept out of her face by two clips and was cut to her shoulders, where the tips flipped out a bit and green-blue eyes - also gave the house a look. "Not bad," she said. "It's a fixer upper." She glanced at Arashi who looked worried. She gave her a friendly nudge. "It's ok, kid. They're friends I'm sure. And if they ain't, they'll answer to Ri-Ri and me."

"And I." The black stuffed animal corrected. "And it's Fenris." He added.

"Ri-Ri sounds better." The girl said.

"Oh yes? How would you feel if I called you Arty?"

"I wish you would. It sounds nicer than Artemis." The girl said. "But Artemis is only my name sometimes. Rest of the time, you have to call me Alex, just like I call you Ri-Ri." She spoke calmly, with a small playful smile. She had a certain look to her. She was unfazeable.

"Come on you two," Arashi said absently, mostly out of habit. The two, realising their mistress' attentions were elsewhere formed a silent truce and started to pester her instead.

"Are you going to knock or shall we just stand outside all day?" Fenris said, sneering.

"No kidding. Come on kid. We don't have all day."

Arashi didn't really hear them as she stepped forward towards the door. She was stuck in her memories. It was only two years ago when she found the pink and gold Sakura Book and washed all the cards away with the Watery card. And it was only a year ago when she met Artemis/Alex for the Judgement of the Moon Guardian. And it was six months ago when she changed all the cards to her Arashi Cards. And it was only a week ago when her family home was attacked by Death Eaters. She had fended them off with her cards, but wasn't fast enough. Now her father was badly injured and hospitilized at St. Mungo's.

And now this. She had recieved a letter soon after the attack. An invitation to come to a ratty looking house, with no other explination than "we'll tell you more when you arrive." The letter hadn't told her much; just enough to pique her curiousity. And now she was here. She was nervous, she didn't know what she was getting into, she didn't know who sent her the letter, she didn't even know what was beyond the door.

There was only one way to find out. She straightened up, and knocked on the door.

Grimmauld Place

The Order was startled a bit by the sound of someone at the door. They exchanged glances, before Dumbledore stood up with a nod. He walked over to the door, and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the twins lagged behind, standing in the hallway so they could watch.

Dumbledore swung the door open and said something they couldn't hear. But they could clearly hear what came next...

"Grandpa...?" A soft, trembling voice from the door said.

Dumbledore didn't respond, but simply held his arms open.

"GRANDPA!" A small figure flew into Dumbledore's out stretched arms, where it sobbed gratefully. He turned around, to face the other members of the order.

"I would like to introduce you to my granddaughter, Arashi Galewich." He said as the figure pulled away from him and wiped her eyes. She looked up and smiled weakly.

"Hello." She said, after a hiccough. The young boys in the room could feel their faces redden slightly. The girl in front of them was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. Her raven black hair was cut short to her chin and styled cutely. Her skin was a healthy peach colour, creamy and smooth looking, without any blemishes. She was petite and slender. She wore a cute peasent-style light blue shirt with short sleeves that ended just after her shoulders and was laced with a silver coloured lace and black denim jeans with a sparkling light blue Asian styled dragon going up her left leg. But what got the most attention were her eyes. They were probably the most blue Harry had ever seen. Like a pair of fine, blue sapphires that jewelers would faint over seeing. Currently, they were shining bright with unshead tears.

"Hi..." The boys chorused, feeling a little silly. Hermione and Ginny tutted at them. Hermione gave Arashi a polite smile and Ginny gave her a friendly wave.

"Hey, what about us?" Said a musical voice from behind Arashi. In stepped a tall girl, with sea green hair and green-blue eyes. She wore a simple black tube top with "PUNK" written on it with sparkling pink and black denim jeans with pink cherry blossoms stitched on the legs and front pockets. She gave Arashi a curious glance.

"Oh, move already. You're blocking the door, you daft woman." Said an impatient voice, which was soon followed by a black stuffed animal flitting into the room with small white wings. It gave the room a look of undisguised distaste. "Oh good, it's even better inside." He said sarcastically. He too noticed Arashi's tears and started a low growl. "What's happening here? What's going on? You're not hurt are you? You didn't walk into the door or anything did you?"

"No, I think it's an emotional break down. The pressure finally made her crack." Thegreen haired girl quipped.

Arashi gave a tired sigh and waved vaguely at her friends. "This is Alex and Fenris. AKA Artemis and, um, Fenris." She said lamely. "Sorry about them." She added.

Dumbledore's eyes sparkled. "It's quite alright, Arashi. Allow me to introduce you to the others." He lead her into the sitting room where the others were waiting. "This is Professors McGonagall and Snape, who will be teaching you Transfiguration and Potions-" He held up a hand as Arashi opened her mouth to speak, "- I will explain that to you later." She shut it again. "This is Mr. Lupin who has been a great help to us in the fight against Voldemort. Mr. Weasley, another great asset and employee at The Ministry. Tonks, an auror and metamorphmagus..." he went on introducing the people in the room to her until he came to- "And this is Harry Potter. I don't think I have to tell you what he has done in the fight against Voldemort."

Arashi shook her head. By now she had composed herself and gave a polite smile and nod in turn to each person Dumbledore had introduced. "Yes," she said to Harry. "I've heard all about what you've done... it's really impressive."

"You are too," blurted Hermione. "I read all about the Card Mistress. You're the last sorceress in the world, you know."

Arashi blushed. "T-thank you," she stuttered. She wasn't used to getting so much attention. She gave a nervous glance to Dumbledore.

"And now, onto the reason as to why you're here." He explained the situation of the Order of The Phoenix to her and the situation with Voldemort, so far. "... and last year we faced him in the Ministry and... there were casualties." The room at large felt a bit heavier at that statement. Arashi grabbed her chest, feeling the great amount of sadness from everyone. Alex shot her a sharp glance and said:

"Mistress, I suggest you conceal your aura if it's picking up feelings again."

Arashi gave nodded. "You're right." She said and did just as Alex suggested.

"You can feel emotions?" Asked Ron.

"Yeah, if I tune my aura into the area then I can feel emotions, but I can only feel very strong emotions when I just keep my aura normal." She gave a shy smile. "I guess this is a very... emotional subject, ne?"

Harry gave a curt nod.

"Anyway," Snape prompted impatiently.

Dumbledore came back to the subject at hand. "Yes, the reason why you're here, Arashi, is because we believe you will be safe at Hogwarts. I will explain the finer details to you later. When we are alone." He added significantly. Arashi nodded.

"Well," said Mrs. Weasley suddenly. "I think it's time I start dinner. I expect I shall need help," she said, adding emphasis to those words to give everyone the hint. Snape and McGonagall excused themselves and left to return to Hogwarts. Everyone left without complaint, with the exception of the twins and Hermione who were very curious about the new girl but were eventually kicked out by Mrs. Weasley. Alex left, chatting happily with Tonks and Fenris flew out and up the stairs.

:If you need us, just give us a mental hollar, alright: She heard Alex say.

:Yes what she said.: She heard Fenris say in a bored voice. :I'll be upstairs, looking for any dark creatures. I'm not so certain this place is that safe...: his thought trailed off and the 'connection' closed.

When the room was cleared, Dumbledore and Arashi sat in silence. Arashi stared at her hands, which held her twisted kerchif and Dumbledore seemed to be preoccupied with the ceiling. Finally he said: "How is your father?"

Arashi flinched slightly. "He's stable." She said quietly.

"I'm glad."

There was another period of silence as both worked out their thoughts...

"We've missed you, grandpa..." she said in a soft, trembling voice.

"I missed you as well, but..." he trailed off.

"But you and papa are too stubborn to end this stupid fight, right?" She said, her voice harsh and her knuckles whitening. She looked down suddenly, trembling slightly. "I expect this from papa but you..." she said angrily, "you're 150, you should know better."

Dumbledore sighed. "Alas, even the oldest and wisest can act like fools where family is concerned." He got up and sat next to her, embracing her. "I know this has been a trying time." He whispered, stroking her hair. "But it shall pass," Arashi gave a muffled noise of disbelief. "It is always darkest before dawn."

After a few more minutes, she pulled away and composed herself. "Right," she said, feeling emmensly better. Her grandpa had that effect on people. "So, why am I here?"

"You are here because we need the assistance of the last sorceress; The Card Mistress. Voldemort has gained much power, much more than I originally forsaw, and now he plans to strike Hogwarts with it. Harry needs protection, and you are the perfect person to give it. We have another concern, unfortunately. We believe Voldemort, after failing to get the Sakura Cards, has gone after another, less well known deck. The Dark Cards, I believe they're called. I'm afraid the details are sketchy at best, we don't even know how powerful they are. I doubt they are more powerful than the," he smiled fondly, "Arashi Cards because if they were, he wouldn't have gone after them first."

Arashi blushed. "I prefer to call them Silver Star Cards. Arashi Cards just sounds strange." She sighed. "I understand now. You want me to look after Harry? I can do that, but if I'm going to attend Hogwarts then Alex and Fenris will have to come with me."

Dumbledore nodded. "Of course, we have already made preperations. Now," he stood up. "You will be staying with the Weasley's for the rest of the summer. I will send you all you need when you recieve your Hogwarts letter in about, oh, two weeks or so. And now I must be off." And he left without another word.

Arashi sighed. 'Typical,' she thought. 'Leave before anyone can say anything. Some things never change.' She stood around for a minute, trying to decide what to do. 'I could go and see Fenris, but he might be hunting. That's always really funny to watch, but he finds my giggling annoying.' but then it was hard not to snicker at the sight of a cute little stuffed animal trying to be scary. 'I guess I'll go in the kitchen and see what everyone's doing.'

---Kitchen---

It was very busy with hustle and bustle. Mrs Weasley was trying to cook and Tonks and Alex were trying to help. It was an ugly scene. Tonks was clumsy, that was apparent almost immediately and Alex was... over exited. Though she was normally quite graceful, she was tripping and bumping into things. Arashi thought it was odd but then Alex was odd so she left it alone. Lupin was graceous enough to help as well.

The teens were seated at the table, just chatting until someone shouts at them to do something. Arashi walked over and smiled. "Hi!"

"Konnichiwa." Said Hermione.

Arashi smiled and bowed. "Konnichiwa." She said.

"So," Hermione said eagerly as Arashi sat down. "You lived in Japan?"

Arashi nodded. "Yep. For four years."

She and the others continued chatting about Japan, and how Hermione wished she could go to visit there. They chatted all through dinner as well, and Arashi was getting over her jitters and returning to her old happy self.

---Later that night, after dinner. Up stairs, in the girl's bedroom---

"We'll be going to my house in the morning," said Ginny as she stretched out and laid back on the bed.

"I'm looking forward to it," Arashi said. She pulled the covers up. "Is it nice?"

"The best." Said Hermione after a yawn. "Anyway, good night, guys."

They said goodnight and turned off the lights. Arashi felt her energy drain out of her and her eyelids grow heavy. Soon she was asleep.

---Arashi's dream---

Arashi stood in her PJs in a strange, dark place. She looked around curiously. Suddenly, she heard a voice:

"Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly..." Followed by a soft, taunting laugh.

Arashi frowned at the evil sounding voice. "Who's there!" She called out. "I don't really think that was funny!" She added crossly.

"What you think is irrelevant." The voice was given form in front of her. A hooded figure in black. "Very soon, you will die..."

Arashi narrowed her eyes. "You didn't answer my question." She said, sounding braver than she felt. "Who are you?"

"I am..." The figure looked up suddenly and Arashi was struck with a mental blow, causing her to flinch. She stumbled back and clamped her hands on her ears. "...your executioner."

She gave a long moan of pain and fell to her knees. "...get... get... out..." It felt like someone was knawing at her mind, unravelling her thoughts. "GET OUT!" She screamed. Her aura erupted, and this time it was the figure who stumbled back, doubling over in pain. The pain in Arashi's head lessened and she stood up, a blue aura surrounding her. She held her hand out and concentraited.

"Oh key of stars with your power burning bright, reveal the wand! Release the light! RELEASE!" A silver magic circle appeared under her as she finished chanting. It looked like the old Sakura symbol, only with a silver crescent moon cradling a white-gold star. The wand appeared next.

The shaft was a sky blue with silver rings at the ends. The staff itself was similar to Sakura's wand, only blue and silver with navy blue stones instead of dark red. The very end, however, was different. Instead of a star inside a circle, there was a silvery-blue crescent moon and cradled in it was a smaller white-gold star. At the hilt were two small wings, similar to the two on Fenris' back.

She pulled out a card from seemingly nowhere. On the back was the same symbol as the one that appeared on the floor. What was once pink and gold was now cereulean blue and silver. She threw the card in the air.

"DREAM!"

The dream card appeared and blew the strange hooded figure out of her mistresses' head and out of her dreams.

---Bedroom---

Arashi woke up with a start, sweating. The others were still sleeping peacefully.

'Who was that guy?' She wondered.

Raven: yay! First chappie is finished! does a dance

Fenris: Hurrah.

Raven: You should be more enthusiastic. I worked hard.

Fenris: I care... nah, not really.

Alex: Well, I care. Have a cookie.

Raven: Yes! Please review!
