Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura or Harry Potter. Of course you should all know that, unless you're a pathetic moron.

Author's Notes: Okay, I promise you that I am still working on my other two stories. It's just, after reading a few HP fics, I wanted to make this a CCS and HP crossover. Okay, I know that there are already several HP and CCS crossover fics out there, and I was planning on waiting, but I CAN'T! And, I noticed that most of the HP/CCS fics out there start from the fifth year, and im going to start there as well. That is because that's where the last HP book left off from, and plus, I have a few surprises up my sleeve. MWAHAHAHAHA! (Thunder and lightning in background) The gang are 15 or 16. Take your pick. Okay, read on!

Protection From the Stars

1: A New Life

Sakura leaned against the backing of her seat, sighing comfortably.

Syaoran quirked an eyebrow at her.

Eriol chatted happily towards Tomoyo.

Tomoyo nodded and agreed to Eriols statements.

Meiling glared at Kero-chan.

Kero-chan glared at Meiling.

Nakuru tortured Suppi by pulling his cheeks.

Suppi tried to fight off Nakuru.

And Yue sat in the corner of the small compartment with his wings and arms folded while he sat in mid air, indian style.

It was quite the group. Three females, two males, one it, two living stuffed animals, and an angel. Definently an odd group.

Sakura smiled as she remembered the day she had recieved her letter that had been dropped in her lap by an owl overhead.

Flashback

"Hoe?"

"What's that?" Syaoran asked, as he pointed to the letter Sakura was now holding.

"Um..." Sakura opened it, as if it was a normal letter, then read:

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 Ms. Kinomoto,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted

at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find

enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no

later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Minerva Mcgonagall,

Deputy Headmistress

"Hoe???"

Sakura was even more confused.

"Owl? Hogwarts? Witchcraft and Wizardry? But im not a witch! Im a sorceress!"

"Can I see that?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura nodded, but before she could hand the letter, another letter dropped from the sky and into Syaoran's lap.

"Wha..."

Syaoran opened it and read the same thing as Sakura did. Slowly, both of them looked into eachother's eyes. Confused as hell and with questions flooding their minds like a flashflood.

Sakura broke the contact first, and dug into the envelope and pulled out another paper. She scanned it and read off:

Different types of books, a wand, Uniforms, Cauldron, owl/cat/toad, and etc...

Finally, "I think we should go ask Eriol what's going on."

Syaoran was just as confused as Sakura, but as far as being a guy, he had protested. It was the guy thing to do. If you're confused or lost, you don't ask for help.

"But Syaoran..." Sakura whined, giving him puppy eyes.

And thankfully to Syaoran's secret love for Sakura, he had given in. Then, both headed from the park towards Eriol's house/mansion.

When they had made it to Eriol's, ready to bombard him with question on top of question, he placed a hand up, already knowing what they were going to ask.

"I know what you're going to ask, and I know that you're confused, but let me explain. First, why don't we go inside for some tea, then i'll explain what's going on, and answer all of your questions."

Once inside, Sakura was surprised to see Kero, Yue, Ruby Moon, Spinal Sun, Tomoyo, and Meiling there. They all looked up to see who had entered, except for Yue, who just sat in mid air with his eyes closed, and arms and legs crossed.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo said in surprise, as she jumped up and hugged her friend.

"Tomoyo! What are you doing here?"

Tomoyo smiled. "The same reason you're here!"

End Flashback

Eriol had taken the liberty of explaining to them what was going on, and what owls, and the such were.

Then, she remembered how they fussed about 'Platform 9 and three-quarters'.

Eriol tried to explain to them what it was, and how to get there, but they rest of the group was up in a ruckuss.

Syaoran was arguing and glaring at Kero, and Meiling was trying to stop her cousin from ripping Kero's head off, even though it wasn't such a bad idea. And Nakuru was fighting with Suppi, while Sakura was trying to keep Kero calm, and Tomoyo stood off to the side, watching with worry, while Yue had already gone throught the barrier.

It took ten minutes before Eriol had had enough. He then used a silencing spell on all of them.

They all looked confused before realizing that Eriol had placed a spell on them.

He then walked into the middle of the group and smiled.

Flashback

"Now that I have all of your attention here, I'd like to explain about platform Nine and Three-quarters. If any of you were paying attention earlier, you would of noticed that Yue had went into platform Nine and Three-quarters. The platform was built hidden so that muggles wouldn't be able to find it and enter. Of course, there's been a few incidents, but they've been taken care of. Now, platform nine and three-quarters is behind me. It may look like a normal brick wall, but that's the illusion of it. To get to Platform Nine and Three-quarters, you must walk 'into' the wall."

The group gave him a confused look. Syaoran opened his mouth to protest, but nothing came out.

Eriol grinned at Syaoran, causing Syaoran to glare more fiercly at him.

"Now, i'll demonstrate. After I go in, I want all of you to follow suit. Unless you don't want that silencing spell removed. Now, any objections?" Eriol asked, even though he knew that none of them could talk.

"Good. Now, watch carefully!"

Eriol calmly walked towards the brick looking barrier, and before he went in, took a look around for any prying muggle eyes, then, with his back to it, waved to the group, and took a step backwards, and disappeared out of sight.

The group stood there, gaping with their mouths wide open.

Sakura turned to Tomoyo, and tried to ask or tell her something, but nothing came out. She frowned, and deciding that she would be the first to go in, she grabbed the hovering Kero with one hand, and her luggage with the other, and ran towards the wall.

The group stood in silence and fear, as they watched Sakura make a mad dash towards the wall, and to their surprise, she went through it. So it wasn't one of Eriol's tricks, Syaoran thought.

Then, one by one, the group went into the wall.

End Flashback

But before that was Diagon Ally.

Flashback

After they bought their books, they all headed for Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.

Most of the group was surprised at how old the shop was. And inside, there were boxes on top of boxes, stacked from the floor to the ceiling. They noticed a little old man in the back, shuffling around.

"Excuse me sir, but we're here to buy some wands."

The little old man turned to face them, then smiled.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you! At first I thought you were the same rift-raft that had came here earlier. Sure glad you're not! They were a bunch of fifth year trouble makers. Came in here, asking for new wands. And when I had finally found what they asked for, I came back to find them opening box after box. Set me in a foul mood, really." the little man said, as he searched his desk for his tape measure.

When he had finally found it, he headed towards the nearest person. Syaoran.

"Okay, what hand do you use most?"

"Right."

"Okay, then hold your arm out for me."

Syaoran obeyed and lifted his arm.

Mr. Ollivander started to measure his arm length, the height of his shoulder to the floor, and etc.

Finally, after measuring Syaoran, Mr. Ollivander released the tape Measure, and it headed for Meiling next, as Mr. ollivander headed towards a shelf filled with dozens of black boxes.

"Hmm... let's see. How about this..."

Mr. Olivander pulled a box off the shelf and brought it to Syaoran.

"Here." Mr. Olivander handed Syaoran a wand.

"Holly and Dragon Heartstring. Try it. Give it a wave!"

Syaoran flicked his wrist and nothing happened. Mr. Ollivander immediately grabbed it and placed it back into it's box and grabbed the next.

"Here, try this one."

Syaoran gave another flick of his wrist, nothing again. It was the third time before he finally got the one that was meant to be his. A flick of his wrist and the tip started to glow a golden color. It was Birch with a Phoenix Feather.

"Good! Now, your turn little missy." Mr. Ollivander said, as he moved towards Meiling.

Meiling frowned when Mr. Ollivander called her 'little missy', but kept quiet.

It only took one try before Meiling had her wand. It was Oak with a Dragon Heartstring. Meiling was quite proud of her new wand. As soon as she gave it a swish, it howled an ear piercing screech. Everybody covered their ears.

Next was Tomoyo. It took her three tries as well, till she had finally found the perfect wand. Maple with Unicorn hair. When she gave hers a flick, it played a small musical tune. Everybody gave a blissful sigh, with the exception of Yue.

Then it was Eriol's turn.

Mr. Ollivander walked up to him, squinted his eyes, then said, "You seem familiar. I never forget a face. Um..."

"Yes, we've met before, or my incarnation did anyways."

"Incarnation? Wait, you're... you're... Clow Reed! How could I have forgotten?! Well, welcome back Mr. Reed!"

Eriol chuckled. "It's Hiiragizawa now." "Hiiragizawa eh? Well, it's good to see you again! How long has it been? One hundred, two hundred years?"

"Four to be exact." Eriol smirked.

"Four hundred years?!" Mr. Ollivander slapped his hand against his head. "Well, I assume that you need a new wand, correct?" Mr. Ollivander asked. Eriol gave a curt nod of the head.

"Well, let's see here.... ah, here we go! Try this. It's the brother to your old one. Surprised that I haven't sold it yet!"

Eriol gave it a swish, and a few sparks flew out of the end.

"Good! That one there's a good one too. Beechwood with Dragons Heartstring."

Mr. Ollivander walked up to Yue.

"Ah, Mr. Yue. Haven't seen you since, well, since I've last seen Clow! Im guessing that you're still overprotective of Clow, aren't ya?"

"No. I have a new master now."

"New master? Where is he? Aren't you suppose to be protectin him or somethin like that?"

Eriol smiled. "This, is Yue's new master. Meet Sakura Kinomoto." Eriol introduced.

Mr. Ollivander gave her a look over. "Young missy, aren't ya?" Sakura blushed. "Actually, im not Yue's master. I don't give him orders. Even though he's my guardian, we're just friends."

Mr. Ollivander smiled. "Of course you are! Now, Yue, do you need a new wand as well?"

"No. I still have my old one."

"Okay then. Moving on." He walked up to Nakuru.

"So, what's your name?" He asked, as he started to take a few measurements.

"Akizuki Nakuru! But my real name's Ruby Moon!" she said, genkily as she bounced around.

"Hold still please." Nakuru froze.

"Okay, let's get you a wand to try."

It took Nakuru Five tries before she found the perfect wand. It was Willow with Unicorn's hair.

"Oooo..." Nakuru droned.

Mr. Ollivander came up to the two fighting guardians, Suppi and Kero.

"What are these things?" he asked, as he stared at them.

Eriol smiled. "Those two are Keroberos and Spinal Sun."

"Hm, I remember Keroberos, but not in this form, but I don't recognize the other."

"The other is my new guardian, Spinal Sun. My other guardian is Nakuru here, since Keroberos and Yue now serve under Sakura."

Mr. Ollivander nodded in understanding, then walked up to Sakura.

"Okay Ms. Kinomoto. Let's get your measurements."

It took Sakura fifteen tries, before they finally found a wand for her.

When she gave her's a swing, it shot Fire out, causing everybody to jump. It was Cherry with Phoenix Feather.

Finally, they had all bought their wands, and made their way towards the pet shop.

At the pet shop, everybody bought owls. Eriol bought an unusual black owl, Tomoyo bought a snowy white owl, Syaoran bought a grey owl, Sakura another white, Meiling a Grey, and Nakuru brown. Yue, Kero, and Suppi didn't want one, or even see the point of them getting one.

End Flashback

The last few days had been hectic, but fun. Very. Sakura had even gotten over the fact that there were trolls over at the Gringotts bank that gave her scowls, and made her want to cower behind Syaoran forever.

Just then, Yue heard footsteps, and decided to sit on something solid instead of air.

The compartment door slid open, and a woman with a cart filled with all sorts of sweets stood there.

"Hello there, Im just comin around, if any of you want to buy anything to snack on during the trip."

She smiled even more when Syaoran, Tomoyo, Sakura, Meiling, Eriol, and Nakuru started to dig into their pockets. It was a bit hard to move around because the compartment was packed full with all of them crammed in there. After a few minutes, they all managed to pull out some cash, and bought some candy. But as for Nakuru, she didn't buy some candy, she bought A LOT of candy. She tried to get Suppi to eat some, but he refused and sat on Eriol's lap. She then tried to shove some down Yue's throat. He wasn't happy at all, and had a pleading look in his eyes towards Eriol and Sakura.

"Um, Nakuru, I think Yue wants to be left alone..." Sakura said, slowly.

Nakuru looked at her, then at Yue, then her, then Yue, then she smiled.

"Okay Sakura."

Yue silently thanked Sakura, and Sakura beamed at him. Yue was Sakura's guardian, but she had to protect him as well sometimes. Especially from Nakuru's hands.

The ride went smoothly during the rest of the trip. Nakuru and Suppi had fallen asleep from spending most of their energy earlier during the day, Meiling, Tomoyo, and Sakura had fallen asleep, Syaoran was on the verge of sleep himself, Eriol was reading a book on spells, Kero laid next to Eriol, rubbing his belly from too much candy, and Yue was meditating while sitting in mid air. At last, the compartment was quiet.

Just then, the train jerked, causing every body except Yue to fall over, wake up, and complain. Eriol was slightly an exception as well.

"What's going on?!" Meiling asked as she frantically searched for something to hold onto.

Eriol just smiled and calmly answered, We've arrived at Hogwarts. But, I wonder why the train gave such a jerk. It's usually smooth when it stops. Well, let's gather our things, and get ready to exit the train."

Everybody started to gather their things and cleaned themselves up and disposing of their candy trash.

"Um, but I think it would be wise that we change into our robes now. If you don't mind girls, there's more guys here, and I think it would be less of a hassle if you went to the compartment next to us to change."

The girls reluctantly agreed and headed out for so the boys could change and they could change. It only took both boys and girl about five minutes to change, and before they knew it, they were all back into the same compartment.

"Now, I know it's a bit hard for you, but try and speak english." Eriol stated.

Sakura shuffled her feet.

"Um... I don't know english..."

Eriol smiled. "I kinda guessed you wouldn't. That's why I had been reading that spell book. The spell I was looking for seemed to have slipped my mind. But now, I have recalled it, and I positive it'll help you."

"What spell?"

Eriol now had everybody's attention.

Eriol pulled out his wand, and even though he wasn't supposed to use magic out of school, he had a good reason.

Quietly under his breath, he chanted a few things and then, silvery and black sparkles flew out of the end of his wand, and landed on just about everybody in the room.

Once the spell was cast, Eriol looked up and smiled.

"I decided it would be a lot easier if I had cast the spell on everybody. Although it does have a few side-effects, Im sure it wont bother you much."

Syaoran glared at Eriol.

"What side-effects?!"

Eriol chuckled. "The side-effects are only temporary. It only lasts for about a week or so."

"And what IS the side-effect?" Meiling asked.

"During the week, you should be feeling slightly light headed, sleepy, or something along those lines."

"Hoe...."

"Don't worry Sakura, I doubt it'll effect you at all, since you tend to sleep during class anyways."

"HOE....."

Later...

Everybody had finally exited among the last to exit the train, since they were seated in the back of the train.

"Now, to make things easier, I believe that we will be traveling with the first years, after all, we need to be sorted.

"Sorted?" Tomoyo said, in confusion.

Eriol only smiled at her. "You'll see."

Everybody watched as the older kids headed in a different direction, while the younger ones stood in confusion.

"You know, we're lucky to actually be going into the fifth year with the rest of our age group when we should actually be going into the first year. After all, we are beginners. Well, the rest of you are."

That earned him a glare from everybody, even the guardians. Eriol just sweatdropped.

"Um, oh, this way, I believe."

They all followed Eriol towards a big man.

"Okay, all firs' years here! Is that all of em'? Good. Okay! Now, no more'n four to a boat."

"Who's that guy?" Meiling asked, as she pointed to Hagrid.

"Oh, that's Hagrid. Don't worry, he might seem dangerous, but actually, he wouldn't harm a fly, unless he had a good reason to."

"Okay, everybody in? Good! Now - FORWARD!"

The group had been divided into fours and fives into different boats.

Sakura with Syaoran, Yue, Meiling, and Kero stayed in his small form. In the other boat was Eriol, Tomoyo, Nakuru, and Suppi, who also chose to stay in his smaller form.

Then, suddenly, the boats gave a jerk, and automatically started forward, towards the castle in front of them.

Sakura immediately grabbed onto Syaoran's arm when the boat gave a jerk, afraid that she'd be dumped out if she didn't hang onto someone.

Syaoran on the other hand had turned beet red. He wasn't expecting this, and the suddenness of her actions made him blush. But, secretly, he didn't mind, and he liked it. It was kinda nice to have her close.

"Hoe? Are you alright Syaoran? You're all red. Are you sick again?"

Sick, again?

"Ah, no! Im fine! Perfectly fine!" It sounded as if he was going through puberty.

"Are you sure? And do you have a sore throat? You sound funny."

"Ah, you're just hearing things! That's all! Heh heh..."

Sakura shrugged her shoulders and slowly loosened her grip, much to Syaoran disappointment.

"Head's down!" Hagrid yelled, as they reached the cliffs.

Everybody ducked, as they went through an ivy curtain and headed beneath the castle.

Once inside, everybody sat up straight, and the boats came to a stop.

Slowly, everybody shuffled out the boats, while Hagrid checked the boats for any possessions left behind.

Then, they all came to some stone steps and followed them up. Once at the top, they all stopped at a pair of large oak doors.

Hagrid made his way up and through the students till he was at the top.

Taking a few breathers, then, he lifted his large fist and knocked on the door.

*CREAK*

The large door opened, and a woman with jet black hair, and green robes stood there.

She smiled kindly at Hagrid and said, "Thank you Hagrid. I'll take them from here."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, here's the first chapter for ya. I had LOTS of fun writing this! Anyways, i'll post the next chapter VERY soon, because im excited and dying with anticipation to pull out a few of my schemes! MWAHAHAHA! I might place my other stories on hold, or at least one of them. Also, I just want to make this clear, you wont be seeing any of Yukito in this fic, because I had him and Yue separate, so that way, Touya could be with Yukito, and Yue with his mistress. And for those who didn't have the slightest clue as to who those troublemakers were over at the wand shop, it was Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Of course. And who is the mysterious Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher??? I KNOW! BUT YOU DON'T! And no, it's not Kaho. It'll be a REAL surprise! Hee hee. And yes, I know that the flashbacks are backwards. I placed them like that on purpose. Well, please R+R!!!

PS.

I wont be starting anymore stories till I finish at least one of these. Don't forget to R+R! And it gets a LOT more interesting during the next chapter! ^.^
