Hello! So instead of the common HP/CCS crossover where Sakura and co. go to Hogwarts, Harry and co. are going to come to Japan. Let's see how this will work out since this is my first fanfic. =P Ok, read on!
Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, I know, I don't own squat. All things that are related to The Harry Potter Series is owned by J.K. Rowling and all things of Card Captor Sakura is owned by CLAMP. The End. But, the plot of Dark Magic is mine.
Also, I thank kawaiisakura3 very, very, very much for editing my chapters for all of the errors and such and I suggest that you should go and read some of her fics too. Arigato!
Dark Magic
By xbakazarux
Chapter 1: The Beginning
(Plane headed towards Japan)"Hermione, remind me again why we're on this stupid plane? It can't take this long to get to Japan!" complained a boy named Ronald Weasley, otherwise known as Ron. He was found fidgeting around in his plane seat like a dog with fleas. He looked out the window, nothing but clouds, and a few patches of mountains and deserts, he suspected that they might be over Israel. Ron remembered that his dad mentioned Israel having an infestation of Pogrebins[1] a while ago. They had to bring thousands of entertainers to cheer up the people.
Harry Potter, otherwise known as The Boy Who Lived, was on the other side of Ron getting ready to ignore the heated fight between the two lovebirds...
"Ron, you dolt! I've told you 5 times already! I'm getting really tired of repeating it when you aren't even going to bother remembering it." Hermione huffed.
"Then say it again why don't you! It's all bloody mad!" Ron retorted.
Hermione was starting to steam. "Alright then you lump of dirt. Listen carefully because I'm not going to repeat it again" There Hermione paused to glare a bit at Ron. She continued, "Dumbledore said that he was sensing Dark Magic happening in Japan. Since Japan is known in the wizarding world for having the most peaceful people he sent us to come investigate. Japan is also known for it's high intelligence so if Dark Magic is happening, it could mean the destruction of the entire magical community. Remember that Asia has a much higher form of magical beings then in Europe and the rest of the world. We have witches and wizards but Asia is full of wise sorcerers and sorceresses. Even though we outnumber them, they are far more powerful then us. Compared to them, we're a bunch of laughs found in children's books. "
"If they're so powerful, why did Dumbledore send us? Why doesn't he just ask the blasted Ministry?" Ron asked.
"Because they're the blasted Ministry! If the Ministry found out about Japan and it's Dark Magic, they'll immediately blow up! They'll start a magical conflict that could affect even the muggles! You know how stupid Fudge is! Dumbledore trusts us so we must investigate what's happening!" Hermione was about to punch Ron for being so stupid...
"But-"Harry interrupted Ron," Hermione, what can we do? We just finished Hogwarts and we haven't even asked the Ministry about becoming Aurors yet! How can we fight them?"
Hermione sighed, "I haven't thought about that part yet. But since Dumbledore sent us, we have to go investigate on Japan to see if we can find whoever's doing Dark Magic. We'll figure out what to do later."
Harry sighed and went back to staring out the window while Ron was gaping at Hermione but then shook his head and went back to his own little corner. Hermione glared at both of them for a moment and then got out a large book titled, Asian Magic: Hidden Powers of Japan by Fujitaka Kinomoto. [2]
(About...2 hrs later[3])
Hermione, Ron, and Harry slowly walked out of the plane with their luggage. Then, something clicked inside Ron's seemingly small, but still there, brain.
"Hermione, where exactly are we going to stay? We don't know a bloody thing about Japan!!" cried Ron.
Hermione gave out an exasperated moan," Dumbledore said that we're going to pose as exchange students from England. We're going to a muggle school-"
Ron gasped hard. "Muggle school?!?! Hermione, why would Dumbledore ever dream of putting us in a muggle school!!!" He was horrified...
Yet again, the famous Granger Glare, Hermione perfected her glare by seeing Professor McGonagall do it nearly everyday with her students...'cept now that Fred and George have gone it seems she hasn't been using it lately...
Hermione continued," We're going to attend the Japanese muggle university Tokyo Gakugei University. We're all going to share a 3 room apartment near the university and since the term hasn't started yet we're going to search the city more and try to detect some Dark Magic."
"How exactly are we going to pull off to the administration that we are three innocent teenagers living together?" questioned Harry.
Hermione replied, "You and Ron are going to act like your childhood friends and I'm going to be Ron's cousin since I don't really look like Harry..."
"My cousin?! Hermione, my whole entire family's got red hair!" Ron exclaimed.
"Then I'll just be Harry's childhood friend from long ago." Hermione simply stated. Then she snapped," Now shut up and help me get a taxi."
After that Ron and Harry shut up through the whole car ride.
(Now they're inside the apartment complex)
"We're going to stay in room 137." Hermione stated as she unlocked the apartment door. They all walked in and Hermione said," Locomotor Suitcases" and all of her luggage floated behind her as she walked to her room. Ron and Harry did the same and went into their room, which they shared.
As you walked into the apartment, you first came in the small living room that was already furnished courtesy of Dumbledore. The living room had a couch and coffee table as well as a TV. on a stand. On the living room wall was a giant window that out looked the rest on Tokyo. On the left was a kitchen already containing a refrigerator, stove, and such with a small counter with barstools. In front of the kitchen was the dinner table with 4 chairs. After the dinner table was the guest room incase Dumbledore stopped by for a visit or for anyone else who decided to stay a bit with them. If you walk past the living room there was the hallway that leaded to the rest of the bedrooms. On the left was the bathroom and on the right was Ron and Harry's room. Further down the hallway was Hermione's room on the left and on the right was a small closet.
(lalala...Daidouji Mansion)
"Tomoyo!!! Why do I need all these clothes! It's not like I need a new outfit everyday or anything!" Sakura whined. At the age of 19 Sakura Kinomoto had shoulder-length syrup brown hair with the most alluring, sparkling green eyes. With creamy looking skin and a fit body, many of the local guys fancied her, but Sakura already had her heart set on a Chinese boy who left 8[4] years go to fulfill his family duties.
"Sakura, I'm making sure that when we go to college that we will look nice! Ohohoho!!" Tomoyo Daidouji joked, "Besides, you wouldn't want all of my work to go to waste would you? Nearly all of my creations are based to fit you! You wouldn't want me to feel sad now would you Sakura?" Tomoyo pouted and leaned close to Sakura. After many years of their friendship Tomoyo learned just want to do to manipulate Sakura into wearing her clothes. Tomoyo was already mischievous, clever, and sly which was a handy weapon to all people around her who just saw her fragile exterior. Tomoyo had a light, yet almost pale complexion with waist-length wavy black hair, with tints of blue and purple-ish.
With Tomoyo's pout on her face, Sakura easily gave in and let Tomoyo completely stuff her suitcase eyeing a few clothing choices now and then.
Suddenly Sakura broke the silence and asked, "What do you think Dumbledore- Ojiisan[5] meant when said that he wanted us to meet some of his friends? From what my Daddy said, Dumbledore-Ojiisan seems really...elderly."
Tomoyo smiled, "I'm sure that Dumbledore-san has some younger friends too. Did he say what they're names where?"
"Eto...umm...I think it was...Potter, something...I forgot the first name. And his two friends, a boy and a girl...They're from England. I hope they know Japanese..."
[1] To learn more about Pogrebins you can look it up in Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them by Newt Scamander =)
[2] Let's say...Sakura told her family about all the magic and stuff a long, long time ago. Fujitaka was so amazed about the thought of him being half of Clow Reed's recarnation that he studied deeper into archeology and solved many magical historic questions all around the world, he also wrote many books explaining all of these discoveries. The End.
[3] I have no idea how long it takes to get to Japan...
[4] Not so sure of my calculations...so if any of the ages and time stuff is wrong please tell me and I'll fix them.
[5] In this story, Dumbledore will be Sakura's great-grandfather. He'll be...on her mother's side. So Dumbledore knows Japanese and everything. Also, somebody please tell me if I'm doing the whole Japanese suffix things correctly. Ojiisan right? Or Ojisan...? Hmmm...
OK! So, how's you like it? =) Please review for the sake of my well being... Feel free to critisize (constructively) so that I get learn from my mistakes. Yada yada yada, ok, so please review! Onegai! I'll try to get the next chapter up when my brain learns to think faster...Hmm......
