"Oh, good, you're up!" She said. "Ah, I know who you are."
She winked at him. "The famous Harry Potter. Oops! Allow me to introduce
myself. My name is Sakura Salmalín, daughter of the mage Numair Salmalín and
wildmage Veralidaine Sarrasri- most of the time called Daine - Salmalín."
"What's a wildmage?" Harry asked, puzzled.
"A 'wildmage' is a mage, only you can do different things. For one, my
mother learned to shapeshift, join minds, talk to animals, heal and some other
useful things. When healing, 'the wild magic takes from your own energy, while
the Gift restores what is lost.' I came up with an unusual combination that I
called the Wildgift, since my mother had wild magic and my father the Gift, I
ended up with half-and-half."
"If you already have magic, then what are you here for?"
"My mother thought it would be useful to have some tricks up my sleeve in
case I am caught where I can't use my Wildgift."
A girl with bushy brown hair and a boy with flaming red hair and many freckles
entered.
"Harry!" The girl said.
The boy noticed Sakura.
"Harry, who is she?"
"Ron, Hermoine, this is Sakura Salmalín. Sakura, this is Hermoine Granger
and Ronald - Ron, preferably - Weasley."
Sakura curtsied. "Pleased to meet you."
Ron blushed crimson and replied, "You too."
Sakura explained about her parents and offered to answer any questions.
"Are mages and wildmages Muggles?" Hermoine wanted to know.
"Muggles?" Hermoine explained she meant non-magical people. "Of
course not! After all they DO have magic, and THEY don't need a wand."
Hermoine nodded and blushed, embarrassed.
"What does your house look like?" Ron asked.
"Well, sometimes my parents and I work in the Palace in Tortall, a place
outside the wizard world. They are best friends with the King - he's a mage too.
But other times we live at our manor by the ocean, in a valley." Sakura
explained.
"Students and teachers, we will be arriving at Hogwarts in ten minutes.
Please change into your robes and be ready." Boomed the speaker.
Sakura and everyone went to change. She came out in a black velvet robed interlined
with cotton. Just then a boy with silver-blond hair and a mocking grin came in.
He looked Sakura over and smirked.
"Well, well, what have we here?" The others (Hermoine, Ron, and Harry)
came in. "A rose among the weeds?"
"Back of, Malfoy." Harry snapped.
"I can take care of myself, thanks!" Sakura protested. She started
glowing a dark blue-gray.
"I think she's right, Harry." (Sakura never mentioned her wild gift to
anyone but Harry, she had forgot) "That's the wild gift. I've never seen it
before!"
"Malfoy, is it? You're not that tough. Buzz off." Sakura snapped.
"You talk tough, but can you back up your words?" He sneered. Malfoy
took out his wand. "Crucio!"
Hermoine grabbed Harry's arm. "That's an Unforgivable Curse! Oh no!"
Sakura glowed brighter and the spell bounced off of her and burst with blinding
light.
She grinned and Ron gulped. "If she's powerful enough to deflect an
Unforgivable Curse — and the second worst one at that — than just think of
what else she can do! Even Harry gets sore at resisting the WEAKEST one!"
And then Malfoy did the unthinkable. "Avada Kedavra!"
"Oh my goodness!" Hermoine cried. "Harry, he's going to kill
her!"
Sakura whispered something and her light grew brighter. A lime beam flew from
Malfoy's wand and straight at her.
"Harry," she whispered. "Stay back!" Her power — a very
bright but dark teal — rushed toward Malfoy's force. It blasted right through
and rapidly headed for Malfoy. He screeched and the air went all teal...
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura?" Harry managed to ask.
"Right behind you." She replied. They turned around.
Ron whooped. "You kicked his butt! Wow!"
"Way to go, Sakura!" Hermoine giggled.
"Nicely done. You don't know how long we've put up with him."
Sakura blushed. "Thanks."
"Sakura, how did you do it?" Hermoine asked. "Even though Harry
lived through that curse, he was left with a scar."
"Perhaps because it was Lord Voldemort, not a young wizard? Excuse me,
Malfoy needs some help. I really whooped him." She giggled and left,
carrying Malfoy over her shoulders..
"She's not telling us something." Hermoine sighed.
"She said... HIS name..." Ron gasped.
"We will be arriving at Hogwarts very shortly." The announcer
roared.
"Put... me.... down!" He snapped.
"Say, Malfoy, where are your cronies... Crabbe and Goyle?"
"Failed last year." He grumbled.
"Here we are. You can see a nurse here."
Harry, Ron, and Hermoine peered in.
"Oh, and Malfoy," Sakura added, "never try that again. My mother
was the daughter of a god and goddess along with being a wildmage. My father was
a mage. Don't say I didn't warn you." And she walked off.
"Sakura? Half immortal?" Harry said, shocked
"Her grandparents were. Of course, that makes her half goddess as
you said." Hermoine pointed out.
"A goddess among our midst." Ron sighed. "No wonder she's so
beautiful!"
"I would love to meet her mother. A wildmage and daughter of a god and
goddess! That must be where Sakura gets her power! Oh, we're here!"
Sakura entered the compartment to grab her owl.
"Sakura, what's your owl's name?"
"Oh, her? This beauty's name is Kurai."
The train stopped, and the got off.
