Black RoseL Me: Hey, everyone! I'm back again! =)
Sakura: Where were you?
Black Rose: I was taking a vacation from writing… I also had writer's block, so you can't say anything… And I just got around my busy schedule, to write this chapter.
Sakura: Oh.

Disclaimer: This also applies for other chapters. If you think I own CCS or HP, then check your eyesight, because this is a disclaimer, not a claimer. So deal with it. The only thing I own is my drawing of Christina Aguilera, $50, a bag of chips, and this plot. So don't SUE!!! =P
"Speech"
[Thoughts]
(Change of scene)
((Flashbacks))
-Change of POV-
==Mind Link==
{My notes}(Recap of last chapter)
==Ah, Sakura-chan, sometimes, you ARE an idiot…== Syaoran stated, mentally. Sakura slowly turned to face Syaoran. An anime vein was popping out of her brain.
"HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed and whacked him at FULL force with her handy plastic mallet from before. Syaoran lithe body flew into the air, and landed on the other side of the alley. Everyone standing around them sweat dropped.
Ron and Hermione's mouths were slightly hanging open. Harry was exactly acting like a goldfish. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't want to become like Syaoran, so he closed his mouth, and decided to keep it closed, for good. Draco was slowly creeping away from the group.
[Okay… THAT was freaky…] were everybody's exact thoughts, although Draco and Syaoran's thoughts were slightly different.
[I REALLY shouldn't have said that… Oww… My butt…] Syaoran thought.
[Umm... I think I should report this to father.] Draco thought.
(End of recap)
(Diagon Alley)
Draco slowly crept away from the group, which had earned a thousand of glances from other witches and wizards.
"I, honestly, pity Syaoran Li." Draco muttered, sadly.
Meanwhile, Harry, Hermoine, and Ron were helping Syaoran up. Sakura simply looked away, as if she didn't care; although she was all red from anger.
[My butt aches all over…] Syaoran thought, in agony. He rubbed that poor butt of his and brushed off the dust from his clothing.
"Remind me never to get Sakura mad…" Harry stated. Hermione was looking puzzled over the fact that Syaoran hadn't said anything, yet Sakura yelled at him, and then hit him with a… hammer? So many questions were racking the bushy-haired girl's mind.
They all finally made it to Sakura, who had calmed down, a bit…
"What did Syaoran say anyways?" Hermione asked, curiously, to her newfound friend.
"You wanna know? He said, "Ah, Sakura-chan, sometimes you ARE an idiot…" And those were his exact words." Sakura, furious, shot a poisonous glare at Syaoran. Syaoran, who was almost crying at this point, cowered in the corner…
Silence…
…
…
…
"Hmph, I'm going back to Japan now. Ja ne." Sakura said, breaking the deafening silence. She snapped her fingers and disappeared.
"…Wha???" Ron questioned, stupidly. Everyone else also looked confused, except Syaoran.
"What just happened?" Hermione inquired, clearly confused. Harry looked thoughtful, until he finally realized what happened.
"Oh, I know!" Harry exclaimed. Everyone looked at him. They were dying for an answer, except Syaoran, of course.
"What?!" Ron and Hermione shouted together. By now, they were both on the edges of their seats, even though they weren't sitting on chairs… The mysteries of life… Anyways, back to the story.
"I think she Apparated!" The Boy-Who-Lived explained, excitingly. Everyone fell down, anime style. Of course they knew that… they wanted to know more than that.
"Uh… Harry, I think we already know that." The amber-eyed boy stated. Harry nodded. Suddenly, a light bulb lit on top of his head.
"I got an idea!" Harry yelled. Everyone looked at him.
"Please don't let it be like the last one…" Syaoran muttered, with a sweat drop. Harry gave Syaoran a cut-look. He suddenly put on a smirk.
"Oh, Li… I know that you've known Sakura for a long time, so you could probably tell us… won't you?" Harry grinned devilishly, while rubbing his hands together. Syaoran's eyes widened.
"I seriously don't know anything!" Syaoran exclaimed, caught off guard.
"Sure you don't…" Hermione exaggerated, with a roll of her eyes. Syaoran sighed to the bushy-haired girl's comment.
Ron, who had been mostly quiet for the conversation, spoke up, "Come on! We can keep a bloody secret!"
"That's it. I'm leaving, because I'm not telling- I mean, I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Syaoran covered up quickly, of course, the golden trio of Hogwarts all noticed, but they didn't bother to say anything.
Syaoran, currently fuming, stomped off back to the Leak Cauldron.
(Sakura's house)
"Argh! How could I let that baka, Syaoran, do this to me?!" Sakura asked herself, frustrated and confused with her emotions. "I just don't know what to think anymore…"
Sakura laid her head down her white pillow, and closed her emerald orbs. With a few deep breathes, she fell asleep.
{A/N: I also want to note something else. I forgot to mention that there will be several 'time skips' during the story, cause I don't know what to do during a certain time period. So this is the symbol from now on, therefore, if you see these symbols: !Month, Day! - it means time skip, kay?}
!September, 1st!
It was finally September 1st, and the Boy-Who-Lived couldn't wait to get out of the Dursley's house.
Harry looked in the mirror; he stared hard at his reflection. He saw a dark haired boy with dull emerald eyes. He felt different than before. The green-eyed boy lifted up his bangs and saw the scar that made him a legend. Harry traced his finger over the lightning bolt on his forehead.
[Why doesn't anybody believe that I saw Voldemort last year? It's so confusing…] So many questions racked the 16-year-old boy, and he was desperate for answers. [Who is Sakura? What is she?]
"GET DOWN HERE YOU LAZY BOY!!" Vernon shouted, from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'm coming!" Harry scowled. He opened the door, and with his trunk in hand, he ran down the carpeted stairs.
(King's Cross Station)
"Good riddance, boy. Go on. Get out of my sight, now!" Vernon yelled. Harry walked away, with a red imprint on his cheek. His aunt, Petunia, had been furious with him.
Harry's eyes narrowed. He suddenly spotted Ron's flaming hair, and slowly walked there.
-Ron's POV-
We were all waiting for Harry to arrive at Platform 9¾. He's late. Hermione's tapping her foot again, and it's getting annoying. Syaoran simply stares off into the distance, as if he's not there at all. I wonder what he's thinking about…
-Normal POV-
Harry finally arrived at the platform and quickly saw his friends. They waved, enthusiastically, except Syaoran. He seemed to be in deep thought. Harry gestured his left hand, dully. Syaoran finally notices what's going on, and waves, lightly. Everyone suddenly looked at the clock that hung from the stone column. It read 10:58 AM.
"Well, time to go…" Ron trailed off. Hermione and Syaoran both noticed the red mark on Harry's face, but decided to keep quite.
"We'd better get going, or else we'll miss the Hogwarts train." Hermione stated. Syaoran ran through the brick wall first, and everybody followed suit.
(Hogwarts Train Compartment)
The HP gang had found a roomy compartment, and closed the door for privacy.
"Hey, guys, are you wondering who our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is this year?" Harry asked. Everyone nodded.
"Duh…" Syaoran sighed.
--TBC--
Black Rose: Well, I'll just leave this chapter here. I know it's short people! =( I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter! Don't worry; it's not the end. This is the only fic that I've actually gotten into writing it. I'm extremely sorry for those who liked "Sincerely Yours, All the Girls" that I haven't updated in a long time, but I just can't get into the mood of writing another chapter, and with another case of writer's block, it's even harder… =( I still have yet to introduce Eriol to this story, he'll be in the next chapter, promise!
ATTENTION: Now that I've got your attention, I just want to let you know that I'm giving you a chance to vote for your favourite pairings! And here they are:
Sakura/Syaoran
Sakura/HarrySakura/Draco (don't count on it)
Sakura/Eriol
Harry/Hermione
Ron/Hermione
Draco/Hermione
Eriol/Hermione (just a suggestion…)
Please vote for your favourite pairing, or you may suggest one as well. I'm deeply sorry for any ET fans, but there won't be any of that here… =( Also, there will absolutely be no shonen ai or shoujo ai, so no complaining. I don't care. But please leave a review! =)
Note: I will try to update this fic more often for the people who like this story. Also, I have to go on a trip in 2 days (not including today) from May 31st – June 4th, so I won't be around for a week. Thanks for waiting people! =D
Also, some symbols won't show on FanFiction.Net anymore, so I had to change it. Sorry if there's any confusion!
