Welcome back to the second chapter. Glad you could make it. I certainly hope that this new approach does not ruin the story. Oh something I forgot to mention in the last chapter but I would like to give thanks to all those who have reviewed my story. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter and Card Captor Sakura then I'd be rich because I invented the first mass-produced solar powered car and then we wouldn't have to worry so much about global warming or the economy or oil prices. Sadly that hasn't happened yet. *sigh*

Harry Potter and the Legend of the Sorcerers

Chapter 1 - How it Begins

"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"Courage is resistance of fear, mastery of fear not absence of fear." - Mark Twain

"It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honour, his religion, his soul, and lay the foundation for that empire's call or its regeneration." - Gandhi

Every magical being in Hong Kong knew when the air plane landed. It wasn't simply that they were crowded in the airport, watching the flight schedule. That would have been obvious. No. It was the fact that a huge magical aura seeped into the ground. The strongest could feel it flying over head but all were aware when it touched the ground.

The ambitious planned to find it. The wise sat back and watched. The timid hid in their homes. The curious kept their eyes on the airport.

And the Li Clan, well… They were the first ones there.

Yelan Li walked – no glided. Yes. Yelan Li glided through the crowded international Hong Kong airport. Even though it was rush hour and the halls were overfilling she still managed to walk without any difficulty. All those in her instinctively moved. Maybe it was her expression, calm and tranquil even though she was surrounded by weary and frustrated travelers. Or maybe it was just the weird vibe she gave off, one of power and regality.

Whatever the case Yelan found her path unblocked. The aura that she was following was obvious to everyone, whether they knew it or not. It spoke of power, for even now it was almost a blinding pure white. Ordinary people somehow found themselves drawn to gate D-24. Even if it was in the opposite direction one were going, one found themselves staring at the gate before shaking their head, trying to rid it of that weird feeling, and heading off in the correct direction.

At gate D-24 the passengers were just unloading from their long flight from England. People disembarked, hair tousled and clothes wrinkled. Almost everyone lifted their hand to hide a yawn at one point, having skipped over a ridiculous amount of time zones. Finally a man waddled off the ramp carrying a bundle in his right arm and a jacket in his left.

This man could actually be counted as a blob if Yelan was feeling vindictive. He was enormously fat, with a wiry mustache and non-existent neck. Sweat stains were showing on his suit and the heat was probably making it unbearable.

Yelan had to swat off her disbelief with a stick at this point. The wonderfully pure, dangerously potent, and blatantly obvious aura was coming from this man. Not from him specifically but from the tiny bundle that he carried with thinly veiled distaste. It was clear that this man was here for business and yet he was carrying a child that he probably hated with him. There was only one reason that Yelan could think of and it made here sick. Obviously he was planning on dropping off the child in the streets content to let it grow up in the slums, disappearing into a world of poverty and crime.

Ignoring the part of her that wanted to rip this sorry excuse of a man of the face of the planet Yelan calmly approached him.

Mr. Vernon Dursley hated this god-forsaken country already. In his opinion Grunnings shouldn't even have thought about making a deal with some Chinese investors. They couldn't be trusted. But those above him weren't on the same mind-length so they had forced him to come to this sorry excuse for a country.

It wasn't that he was complaining… that much. It was the perfect way to get rid of that freak. His Petunia received such a fright when she found it on the doorstep. Right then he knew he had to get rid of it. Why that freak would be sure to pass his freakishness on the Dudders if he was around him for too long. So now all Vernon had to do was exit this airport and find the nearest deserted side street before dumping the freak.

"Excuse me, Mr.?" A voice interpreted his scheming. He looked up staring at that exotic Asian women looking at him with an expectant face.

"Dursley, Vernon Dursley. What can I do for you?" He replied surprised. This women clearly a native, was speaking to him in perfect English with a barely noticeable accent.

"I wanted to inquire about that child," she said motioning to the bundle in his arm. "Perhaps you would be willing to part with it?"

"Why?" He wondered suspiciously. It's not everyday a beautiful lady comes up to you and wants a child.

"I need children but I cannot get any from the orphanages. It would be too conspicuous for me to acquire a large amount so I am finding travelers that would be willing to give them to me. I am prepared to pay you of course. All you need to do is sign these adoption papers so that will I can legalize it and he will be off your hands."

Mr. Dursley could not believe his luck. Instead of getting rid of this freak someone was willing to do it for him.

"I would be honored Madam. How much money are we talking about?"

Yelan seriously wanted to punch this despicable man right now. She wanted to cut off all of his appendages then slowly peel off all of his skin. Then she'd let him die of blood loss before eradicating the body so nobody could link it to her. Then again that sounded too nice. She'd have to think of a different death for him. For now however she put on a fake, leering smile and spoke in a sickly sweet voice.

"Enough, Mr. Dursley, that you could probably by this island. Now sign here and initial here," she replied while pulling out an official looking paper and motioning to a couple lines on the paper.

"Of course." Mr. Dursley hurriedly took up the pen and with a flourish signed him name without even glancing at the paper. It was snatched away as soon as he was done and placed in her handbag. "Now when can I expect the money.?" He asked.

But when he looked around the women had vanished. The bundle which he had place on one of the cheap seats for travelers had also disappeared. Mr. Dursley cursed himself. She had gone and he didn't even know her name. Still it wasn't a complete loss. The freak was gone and now it wasn't his problem. The authorities couldn't even fault him because the freak wasn't legally his anymore. All in all, it was a good day's work. And with that Mr. Vernon Dursley headed down to luggage claim content to never think about that strange women and the freak again.

On the other side of the airport Yelan finally stopped her hurried pace. The bundle of blankets in her arms hadn't even made a peep. Now she opened the covers and got her first look at the child that held enough power to overthrow the Li Clan.

He was SO CUTE!

Normally Yelan wasn't one to be all girly but this baby with his pale skin, adorable shaggy brown hair, and simply-to-die-for emerald eyes made her want to faint. But then she frowned. A scar on his forehead was the only thing that marred his face. Innocent it might look, even somewhat intriguing what with its lightning bolt shape but it was evil. Not just the oh-I-just-stole-a-piece-of-bread evil, or the I-killed-a-man-because-he-pissed-me-off kind of evil or even the I-tortured-a-girl-because-she-was-a-Jew evil, but the I'm-going-to-take-over-the-world-and-enslave-everyone-who-doesn't-agree-then-torture-them-day-and-night megalomaniac evil.

This would need research. The scar was clearly not natural and probably given to him from an encounter with a great evil. She'd have to use her network of contacts positioned in most magical communities in order to gain insight. But for right now it was time to introduce this little guy to his new family.

And another chapter is finished. I am going to take a break now. I swear I have been writing all day nonstop to post these two new chapters as well as yesterday with my other story. The only reason why I have had this big of a creative spark and dedication is because of my reviewers (THANK YOU SO MUCH), my friend Ryn-Ryn who has been pestering my to update it, and the fact that it's winter break so no school. Also IT'S SNOWING! I know to most it's not a big deal but I live in Hillsboro OR and believe me the last time we got this much snow was before I was born. Anyway for those who are actually reading this part thank you and hope you have a good Christmas or New Years or whatever you celebrate! I'll try to update tomorrow or the day after!

Bye-Bye,

Kasumi
