Sakura was heading back to Harry's room when Dudley came up to her blocking her path. "Your in my way..." Sakura said smiling "And?" Dudley answered as he stepped closer to her, Sakura stepped back her eyes wide.
"Sakura your really pretty" Dudley said looking her over, "And your really stupid now get out of my way..." said Sakura, he was trying her patents, "No..." he continued to come closer to her when he hit an invisible wall with a loud smack. Sakura smiled as Dudley began to back away until he hit a second wall, he was scared now.
'How is she doing that?' Dudley thought panicking Harry needed a wand to do magic where was her wand? "I thought you couldn't do that over the summer holiday?" Dudley asked his eyes almost pooping out of his head, "Wha— " Sakura saw Harry walking down the hallway the invisible walls vanished, Dudley had been leaning against one and fell onto the floor with a loud bang.
He quickly scrambled to his feet and waddled away as fast as his feet would carry him. Harry looked at him quizzically as Dudley passed him by, he saw Sakura standing there a small smile on her lips "Ohayo Harry-kun!" she said sweetly as she walked up to him. "Ohayo Sakura-chan" he smiled, "What's the matter with Dudley?" Harry asked he saw the smile on her face widen a bit.
"Oh that...don't really know..." Sakura said as she walked by him, "Uh is tomoyo downstairs?" Sakura asked trying to change the subject. "Uh no she's in my room still..." Harry continued towards the bathroom.
Sakura walked into Harry's room and saw Tomoyo sitting on her bed she was reading something, "Tomoyo?" Sakura walked up to her friend and looked at the book, it was a novel it looked like it was at least 1000 pages. Sakura smiled and sat down, "So did you find the forest?" Tomoyo asked looking at her friend.
"Yeah it's not that far..." Sakura smiled when Aunt Petunia came and banged on the door, "Come on down for breakfast" her voice rang though the hall making both girls jump. Sakura and Tomoyo got up and walked out the door and down the stairs to the kitchen. Sakura sat down next to Tomoyo, Dudley was taking up one side on the table to himself.
Uncle Vernon was across from Dudley reading the paper while Aunt Petunia was by the counter washing apples, this morning's breakfast was one red apple. Sakura noticed none of the Dursleys even bothered to say good morning to any of them. "Ohayo Harry-kun" Tomoyo said smiling they moved over to give Harry some room to sit down. "Ohayo Tomoyo-chan." Harry said sitting down next to Sakura.
Dudley frowned 'Why do they like Harry so much? It's not fair...' Dudley thought sulking when Aunt Petunia place the apple on each of their pates, she had cut them into quarters. "Sorry but Dudley is on a diet so the whole family has to be on the diet..." Harry whispered to Sakura she nodded in understanding, she looked at Dudley who was looking down at the apple sadly.
Dudley's apple was much bigger than Harry, Sakura, or Tomoyo's but none of them minded, Sakura and Tomoyo at the apple quietly, they waited for Harry to finish.
They got up, "Arigato Dursley-san..." Sakura and Tomoyo said as they left with Harry smiled, Aunt Petunia nodded dumbly.
'What did they say?' Harry saw the puzzled look on his aunt's face, "They said thank you..." said Harry as he walked out behind them they went back up to his room, "You guys must still be starving right, I know I am..." Harry looked at the two girls, who nodded. Harry slid under his bed and pulled up the loose floor board and pulled out a large box.
Sakura and Tomoyo walked over to him, "It might be a little stale but it's food..." Harry opened the box.
There was a few boxes of what looked like jellybeans and some chocolates. "I made sure to save some food when I was coming back on the school train, just in case Dudley was on his diet again..." said Harry as he put the box on the bed and took out a Chocolate Frog and opened it. Tomoyo nearly screamed when the frog tried to get out of Harry's hand.
"Hoe?" Sakura looked at him as he took a bite. "There not real frogs it's just a spell..." Harry said smiling at the look in the girls faces, "There really good..."
Sakura took one and ate it, he was right they were good...
Tomoyo was looking at the box of jellybeans, "Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Bean..." Tomoyo read the title out loud. "You want to be careful with those..." Harry warned looking up at her.
"Why?" said Tomoyo they looking safe enough. "Well when it says every flavour...they mean every flavour"
"Nani?" Tomoyo looked at him quizzically, "Well there's normal flavours like cherry and apple but then there's things like spinach and earwax..." Tomoyo looked at him and took a red bean from the box, "This looks safe enough..." Tomoyo popped it in her mouth. Tomoyo nearly gaged her eyes watering.
"What was it Tomoyo?" Sakura asked looking at her, "Jalapeno pepper..." Tomoyo choked out her mouth was burning. Sakura ran over to Tomoyo's bed and grabbed the glass of water that was sitting on the floor, she handed it to her. Tomoyo drank it down quickly. "Arigato
Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo sighed, and took one of the Chocolate Frogs, at least she knew these were safe...
Harry had put the box back in it's hiding place under the loose floor board and looked at the two girls they were about to leave the room when an owl flew into the room.
Harry walked over to the large barn owl and took the letter from it. He opened it and read.
Dear Harry, Sakura and Tomoyo,
The Hogwarts Express will be taking you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on August 1st at eleven o'clock, to show Miss Kinomoto and Miss Daidouji around as well as get them up to date with some spells. Miss Hermione Granger and Mr Ronald Weasley will be joining you.
Albus Dumbledore
"Well looks like the trains going to leave in a few days so we should go get your school stuff" Harry said looking over the letter again, the owl had flown off a few moments ago. "Come on we better go." Harry walked over to his trunk and took out a small pouch of shimmering powder. Sakura looked at him quizzically.
"Harry-kun, what's that?" she asked looking at the pouch. "This? This is Floo powder." Harry had bought some last year just incase he needed it, "Nani?" Tomoyo and Sakura were still confused, "Come I'll explain on the way grab what ever you need..." Harry said walking towards the door Sakura grabbed her bag which contained a very annoyed Kero, while Tomoyo got her video camera, Harry walked out the door Sakura and Tomoyo following him.
Harry walked into the living room "Uncle Vernon..." Harry began as Sakura and Tomoyo came up behind him, "What do you want?" Uncle Vernon snapped looking at him. "Sakura and Tomoyo need to get there school things because the trains going to leave on August 1st..." Harry continued, his uncle looked at him.
"Your leaving early this year?" he asked a smile forming on his face, the smile suddenly turned evil. "Well I can't take you to get your supplies today I'm much to busy..." Uncle Vernon began but Harry interrupted him.
"You don't have to take us Uncle Vernon..." Harry said smiling, "What? Why?" his uncle looked at him suspiciously. He looked at the small pouch in Harry's hand and suddenly turned pale as the events from last summer replayed in his mind. "If you think that you can destroy the living room than you've got another thing coming" Uncle Vernon roared looking at Harry as if he were a bug. "Uncle Vernon we're not going to destroy the living room..."Harry tried to convince his uncle.
"Just think Dursley-san the three of us would be out of your hair for an entire day and if we don't get our things today..than we might not be able to leave because we wouldn't have the things we need...and we'd have to stay here longer..." Sakura said looking at Uncle Vernon's face which went from pale to green. Harry grinned inwardly.
"Fine go I'm leaving and when I come back in here if there's anything broken damaged anything. I. I. It would not be good!" Uncle Vernon said getting up not knowing what he was getting into. Harry didn't know what Uncle Vernon would do but he knew he would come up with something by the time they got back.
Uncle Vernon left going into the kitchen mumbling something under his breath. Harry went over to the fireplace, Uncle Vernon had taken out the electric fire because of last summers events. "Now I need I nice big fire..." Harry thought wondering how he was going to manage that... Harry looked at Sakura as if she could do something, "Nani?" Sakura looked at him smiling.
"Uh Sakura-chan could you make a fire?" Harry asked it was worth a shot if she could create two beds out of thin air than maybe she could make fire's too...you never know... "Uh..." Sakura looked at Tomoyo they both looked at Harry. Harry got the message and walked out of the room and into the hallway.
Sakura bent down in front of the fireplace she took out a card and smiled. "Fiery please make a nice fire in the fireplace for me.." as Sakura spoke the card began to glow a dull pink that got brighter suddenly a large ball of fire appeared and became what looked like a woman with fire for hair and legs.
The Fiery pointed at the empty fireplace and a small flame shot from it's finger creating a large fire. The Fiery looked at the girl that had summoned it. "Arigato Fiery..." Sakura said gratefully, "Your welcome Mistress" The Fiery said before becoming a card again and flying into her pocket.
Harry walked back in and saw the large fire that was crackling away merrily in the fireplace as thought it had been there for hours. He smiled he would have been surprised if he had come back to find no fire 'I just wish I knew how she did that...' Harry thought looking at her thoughtfully.
"Okay Harry-kun you've got your fire now what?" Sakura asked looking at him. "Well to use Floo powder you throw a pinch into the fire step into it and yell out the name of the place you want to go.." Harry explained looking at the two girls. "And where do we want to go..." Tomoyo asked she was a little nervous about this. "Diagon Alley" said Harry
"Do you want me to go first?" Harry asked. Both girls nodded yes. Harry gulped this would be the first time he used Floo powder without the Weasleys around. "Okay" Harry walked over to the fire and threw a pinch of the shimmering powder into the flames, with a loud roar the fire turned a bright emerald green Harry stepped right into the fire and shouted, "Diagon Alley" and vanished. Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other, "I'll go next" Tomoyo offered taking a pinch of the powder, she threw it into the flames and stepped in. "Diagon Alley" she too vanished.
Sakura looked at the fire and took a pinch of the powder she placed the pouch in her pocket and threw the powder into the flames she stepped in feeling the flames liking her body, "Diagon Alley" all she shouted and vanished as well. Sakura felt as though she was being sucked into a giant sink hole.
She seamed to be spinning rapidly. She was trying to keep her eyes open but the whirling green flames made her feel sick. She squinted and looked ahead of her to see what looked like a blurred stream of fireplaces and glimpses of the rooms beyond them, she felt like she couldn't take anymore of this, her breakfast were going to make a reappearance if this didn't stop soon, and then she fell face first into cold stone.
Dizzy, and covered in soot she got shakily to her feet she looked at what looked like an English pub 'Oh no I'm in the wrong place' Sakura thought panicking she turned around to see Harry and Tomoyo brushing the soot off their clothes Sakura looked down at herself to see her pink top was now black with soot. 'Great' she thought and began to brush it away.
"Sakura you did bring the Floo powder with you right?" Harry asked looking at her. "Uh yeah it's right her..." Sakura said handing it to him. "Good." Harry took the pouch and put it in his pocket.
"Come on we have a lot to do to day." Harry said leading them through the bar, the bartender waved at Harry, "Afternoon Mr. Potter" he she said they passed by, "Afternoon Tom" Harry said Sakura and Tomoyo nodded hello he smiled nodding. Harry lead them to a small walled courtyard. Sakura looked around there was nothing there but a dustbin and a few weeds.
Harry pulled out what looked like a long stick from his pocket and walked over to the dustbin he began counting bricks, "Three up...two across" he muttered he tapped the wall three times with the point of his wand. The brick he had touched began to quiver and move.
Sakura and Tomoyo moved back looking at the wall. It started as a small hole then grew wider and wider creating a archway witch led to a cobbled street which twisted and turned out of sight. "Harry-kun, where are we?" Sakura asked in amazement as she looked at the witches and wizards walking in and out of the stores which lined the street. "This is Diagon Alley" said Harry as they began to walk into the alley the archway closing behind them.
Sakura and Tomoyo were looking at everything, "First thing we have to do is go to Gringotts to get some money." Sakura and Tomoyo looked at Harry. "But Harry we don't have any money.." Sakura sighed looking down how were they going to get any of there things for school if they had no money. They walked up to a snowy-white building that towered over all the other little shops.
They came up to a large bronze door, standing beside the door in scarlet and gold uniform was a goblin. He was rather short with a pointed beared and very long fingers and feet. He bowed as they waled inside. They came to a second door this one was silver, with words engraved into it:
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not ern,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief you have been warned beware
Of finding more than treasure there.
Sakura shivered reading the inscription, A pair of goblins bowed them through the silver doors and they were in a large marble hall. There were more than a hundred goblins, they were sitting on high stools behind a long counter, weighing coins in large brass scales, examining precious stones. There were many doors leading out of the hall, more goblins were showing people in and out of them. Sakura, Tomoyo and Harry walked over to a counter, "Hello" Harry said to a free goblin I need to make a withdrawal.." Harry said looking at the goblin.
"And do you have your key?" Harry took a small golden key from his pocket and handed it to him, the goblin too a good look at the small gold key. After a few moments he put Harry's key down and looked at Sakura and Tomoyo "And you?" the goblin asked Sakura looked down thinking about something Tomoyo went on to speak. "Can I make a new account?" she asked handing him a stack of Muggle money she had thought that wizards would use different money so she had brought some to exchange.
The goblin looked at her and nodded. He looked at Sakura who was looking at the small golden key Eriol had given her the other day, 'Sakura this is the key to my vault I am giving it to you' Sakura was thinking about the note from clow and it clicked she handed the goblin the key, "Can I make a withdrawal?" she asked smiling sweetly as he took the key from her looking at it closely he looked back at her and shrugged, he gave them back their keys "Take them gown to the vaults Gropwick" Gropwick was another goblin "Bye Sakura, Harry I have to get my account I'll meet you outside okay?"
"Hai see you" Sakura said as she and Harry were lead through on of the many doors leading out of the hall. Sakura was expecting to see more marble but was surprised to find themselves in a narrow stone passage way lit with flaming torches, it felt like she was going down a rather steep hill she could almost make out what looked like little railway tracks on the floor, Gropwick whistled and a small cart came around the corner stopping in front of them, they climbed in and speed of.
Sakura was having trouble keeping track of which way they were going, it was almost like the cart was driving it's self because Gropwick wasn't steering. The cart went tearing through the small passage until it stopped at a small door in the passage wall.
Gropwick unlocked the door and Harry walked in Sakura gasped there where mounds of coins gold, silver, bronze. Sakura stepped in looking around "Oh Sakura maybe I should tell you, the gold ones are Galleons," he began explaining she nodded listening to him, "Seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle"
"That sounds easy enough..." Sakura said as they stepped out of the vault. They got back into the cart and continued on they seamed to be going deeper and gathering more speed. The cart rattled on the twisting and turning path and finally stopped, "Vault number one" Gropwick said getting out. Harry looked at Sakura how did she have vault number one? Gropwick opened the door and a lot of purple smoke came gushing out, when it cleared Sakura mouth nearly hit the floor. Her vault was even bigger than Harry's she walked in and found an envelop sitting ontop of one of the piles of gold coins. Sakura picked it up and looked at it. It was addressed to her she put it in her pocket and put some of the money into her bag.
Harry walked in and looked around seeing piles of gold Galleons mounds of Silver Sickles and heaps of small bronze Knuts, there where also large piles of precious stones and things. Sakura got what she needed and walked out with Harry they got back into the cart and made their way back. They got out and made their way back into the main hall Sakura was still a little shocked finding out that she had all that money, Tomoyo was waiting for them, "So how was the ride?" Tomoyo asked looking at Sakura and Harry, "It was really fun" Sakura said snapping out of her reverie.
"Harry, Harry!" Harry looked around and saw a red head and brunet running towards them, "Ron Hermione!" Ron and Hermione ran up the stairs, "How ya doing Harry?" Ron asked a little out of breath, "Great what about you guys?" Harry asked smiling he was hoping they were going to be here to day "Fine" Hermione was looking at the two girls standing behind Harry, "Harry who are your friends?" Ron asked looking at them as well, "Oh" Sakura looked at them, "Kinomoto Sakura" Sakura smiled
"Ron Weasley"
"Hermione Granger" Sakura nodded, "Daidouji Tomoyo" Tomoyo smiled at them. "I've never seen you before you new?" Ron asked looking both girls over, "Hai we're starting fifth year.." Sakura said, "So you're the Japanese exchange students right?" Hermione asked smiling "Hai we are" Tomoyo answered looking at them, Ron was tall with flaming red hair while Hermione was about her height and had bushy brown hair.
"Now what?" Sakura asked looking at Harry, "Did you get a sheet of parchment saying what you need to get?" Harry asked taking out his list of school supplies he had gotten that morning with the letter from Dumbledore about the train.
"Hai." Sakura said taking it out looking at it.

Sakura read it looking at all of them that was a lot of stuff, "Ok where do we start?" Tomoyo asked she was looking at her own list. "How bout we get your robes" Ron suggested pointing to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. Sakura and Tomoyo nodded and began to walk towards it.
They entered the shop it was almost completely empty, Madam Malkin was a squat, smiling witch dressed in midnight blue. "Hogwarts dears?" said asked looking at the group Sakura and Tomoyo nodded. "Got the lot here come with me" Sakura and Tomoyo followed her to the back Madam Malkin got Sakura and Tomoyo to stand in a stool and slipped a long robe over their head and began to pin it to the right length. As she was doing that Tomoyo was thinking what she could do to make the uniform look better.
"Harry?" Ron looked at him, "Those girls are staying with you right?" he asked Harry nodded looking at the direction they had gone off in. "But Harry...why are they staying with you?" Hermione asked looking at him. "Don't know..." Harry shrugged, Sakura and Tomoyo walked out each carrying a large bag full of cloths.
"Ok Harry-kun" Tomoyo said smiling, Ron and Hermione looked at her "How bout we get our books..." Hermione suggested looking at Flourish and Blotts they nodded and walked over.
They walked into the small bookstore and looked around when an man came running over to them
"Can I help you?" he asked looking at them, he recognized Harry, Ron and Hermione but who were the other two? "Hogwarts right?" he asked they nodded Sakura handed him her lists, "For all of you?" he asked looking at the list of books.
"Yeah." When Hermione handed him her list she needed a few different books since as she wasn't taking Divination like the rest of them. Sakura and Tomoyo had chosen two extra subjects so they had both chosen Care of Magical Creatures and Divination he nodded and walked away to find all the books on the lists. Sakura walked over to one of the many bookshelves and pulled out a large book it looked rather old, she read the title:
A History of Eastern Magic Sakura opened it when the manager came back out carrying their books he handed them each a large pile she put the book back and took her's They paid and walked out, "Ron!" Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sakura and Tomoyo turned around to see a plump witch with flaming red hair walking to wards them.
"Ron where were you we've been looking all over for you" she said sternly, "Sorry Mum but I saw Hermione and we went to Gringotts and saw Harry..." Ron trailed off looking down, "Harry dear nice to see you again, how are you?" Mrs Weasley said smiling when a large group of people walked over all with flaming red hair, "Hello Mrs Weasley"
"Molly dear there you are have you..." he left his sentence hanging seeing Harry, Ron Hermione, Sakura and Tomoyo standing there. He looked the two girls over "Arthur Weasley" he said extending his hand out to the two girls, "Sakura Kinomoto" said Sakura as she shook his hand, "Tomoyo Daidouji" Tomoyo shook his hand as well. That was when Mrs Weasley realized they were there, they didn't look like they were from England, "I'm Mrs Weasley" she said smiling they nodded. "Mum, Fred, George, Ginny this is Sakura and Tomoyo" Ron said pointing to everyone as he said there name, they smiled nodding.
"Is it your first year at Hogwarts?" Mrs Weasley asked eyeing the girls who nodded, "My you don't look eleven.." she continued
"We aren't we're starting fifth year..." Tomoyo said brightly. "Really? That's interesting I've never heard of someone starting in fifth year before...did you go to a different school and transferred to Hogwarts?" Mr Weasley asked curiously, "No we've never been to a magic school until now.." Sakura said she looked at all of them, "Really? Did you know?" Mr Weasley asked his curiosity getting the better of him, "Know what?" Tomoyo looked at him quizzically
"That you were a witch..." Mr Weasley smiled she nodded no and looked at Sakura who shook her head slightly.
Sakura was looking in the window of a shop it was full of owls she was staring at a silvery white one when Mrs Weasley's question brought her back to earth, "Nani?" Sakura asked looking at them when they looked at her oddly, "Heh sorry I mean what?" Sakura said scratching the back of her head, "Where are you two from?" she repeated, "Oh we're from Japan..." said Sakura smiling sweetly, "Oh..." Mrs Weasley said looking at her.
"Yeah Mum were going to go shopping we'll see you latter..." Ron said as they walked away waving bye. "They seem nice..." Fred said dumfounded, the two Japanese girls were gorgeous! Gorge nodded staring in the direction they left in. Ginny rolled her eyes as she walked into Flourish and Blotts.
Sakura, Tomoyo, Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting in the small ice-cream shop eating, "All you guys need is a wand..." Harry said as he licked his ice-cream cone Sakura and Tomoyo nodded. They finished eating and walked over to the last shop witch was quite small and old. Sakura looked at the peeling gold letters on the door that read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 bc. There was a single wand laying on a dusty purple cushion in the shop window.
They walked into the shop Sakura looked around it was really small and packed with small boxes which lined the walls most of it was covered in a thick layer of dust. They walked up to the small table that was sitting near the back wall, the small hairs on the back of Sakura's neck rose the silence of the shop seemed to feel as if they were surrounded by magic. "Can I help you?" a soft voice said making Sakura and Tomoyo jump a little.
Standing there was an old man his wide, pale eyes shining like bright silvery moons in the gloomy shop. "Hello" Sakura said slowly, "Sakura Kinomoto its nice to finally meet you..." he said making them all look at Sakura "I'm Mr Ollivander" he said smiling, Sakura nodded not saying anything since as he already knew her name. How he knew, she didn't know.
"And Tomoyo Daidouji I presume." he said looking at Tomoyo who only nodded, "Hello Harry" Harry nodded smiling "Hello Mr Ollivander" Harry said "Now you two must need wands no?" Mr Ollivander asked looking at Sakura and Tomoyo who nodded.
"Let me take your measurements...now which is you wand hand?" he asked stumping both girls, "I'm right handed" Sakura said holding out her right hand, Mr Ollivander took a measuring tape and began to measure, Sakura noticed that the measuring tape was doing everything on it's own because Mr Ollivander had gone to the back to the shop he came back with a long thin box, he opened it ant took out a wand, "Holly eleven inches dragon heartstring" Sakura took it and looked at him.
"Well give it a wave..." Sakura nodded and waved the wand but it was snatched away from her almost immediately, he went back and brought out another wand and another all of them being taken away from Sakura almost immediately. Sakura felt like she had tried every wand in the shop
and had a large pile of tried wands in front of her.
Mr Ollivander handed her a wand hopping this would be it. Sakura was about to wave the wand when a sharp pain raced through her left arm. She let go of the wand Harry, Ron, Hermione and Tomoyo looked at her as the wand clattered to the floor she was holding onto her left wrist that was thobbing painfully, Harry saw what looked like a large black mark on her wrist. 'She couldn't be...' Harry thought looking at her Ron and Hermione looked at him he shrugged.
Sakura rubbed her wrist until the pain left, Sakura knew what that pain only meant that the moon would be full tonight... Sakura removed her hand from her wrist Harry looked and saw nothing there wasn't anything there at all, 'What? I know I saw something I know I did...' Harry thought Sakura picked up the wand and placed it with the others she had tried, "Sorry muscle spasm.." Sakura lied but they seemed to buy it...Mr Ollivander handed her another wand.
Harry and the others were leaning against the wall waiting for her to finish, Mr Ollivander was still in the back of the shop. "Odd I've never had anyone that was so hard to find a wand for..." he muttered to himself he walked to the very back to the shop there was a single box that looked like it hadn't been touched for centuries and for good reason... "I wonder..." he picked it up and blew some of the dust off the once black box was now grey from the dust.
Sakura watched him come back holding the dustiest box shed seen yet... he gave it to her, "Rosewood, eleven inches phoenix feather" he said handing it to her Sakura felt a tingling sensation when her hand touched the wand, she waved it and a few cherry blossoms emerged from the wands tip. Mr Ollivander frowned but soon smiled he had wished that he would have been able to take that wand back and put it way hopefully for all eternity. But that was obviously not the case, "Be careful with that wand..." he said as Sakura paid for it, she looked up at him
"Be carful of what?" Sakura asked interested "The phoenix that gave the feather for your wand was the very rare golden phoenix...there's only one in the world and it gave two feathers, yours and the other I sold last year to a young boy who is attending Hogwarts as well..." Mr Ollivander explained Sakura looked down at her new wand. Harry had heard 'Her wand is even more powerful than mine...' no one spoke of a few minuets until "Tomoyo Your next" Mr Ollivander said breaking the odd silence that had filled the shop Tomoyo nodded and walked up to the desk as Sakura walked over to Harry, Ron and Hermione sill looking down at her wand...
She put the wand into her pocket and looked at Tomoyo who as currently being measured. Tomoyo looked down at herself watching the tape measurer get her measurements Mr. Ollivander came back to find the tape measurer measuring the length of her hair, he clapped his hands together and the tape measure fell to the floor. He handed Tomoyo a wand which she waved to have it snatched out of her hand Tomoyo felt like she tried every wand in the shop Mr Ollivander gave her another wand she was about to give up hope.
'Maybe Dumbledore was wrong and I don't have any magic just like before...' Tomoyo thought sadly why did it always happen to her why was she always left out of everything? "Oak 12 inches with unicorn hair" he said as Tomoyo looked at him, 'This is the last one it didn't even take Sakura this long and she was doing this for a while...' Tomoyo thought as she took hold of the wand -nothing, nothing at all not even the slightest tingle or feeling 'This is hopeless...' Tomoyo thought sadly she was about to put the wand down when she felt all warm a small tingling sensation raced through her.
She waved the wand and a few blue birds came flying out of it's tip. Tomoyo let out a small sigh, 'Maybe I do have some magic in me after all...' Tomoyo paid and walked over to he friend who were leaning against the wall Ron was asleep, Sakura poked him he gave a small grunt trying to roll over falling to the floor with a loud thud causing the dust on the floor to take to the air in a thick cloud. "Wha - were am I?" he asked looking around, "Come on Ron lets go were done here.." Hermione said pulling him to his feet they walked out of the shop, "Good bye" Sakura and Tomoyo called to Mr Ollivander as they walked out of the door.
They were walking back to the pub when something caught Sakura's eye it was the same owl she had been looking at before, "Why don't you get a pet or something?" Harry suggested noticing where Sakura was looking at. Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other "Sure" the both said as they walked into the shop.
They looked at the many cages that lined the walls Sakura walked over to the owl she had been looking at she loved the way it's feathers seemed to have a silvery sheen to it, she picked up the cage and walked over to the rest of them Tomoyo picked out a large barn owl. They were walking out of the shop when Ron spoke up, "We should head back to the Leaky Cauldron..." he looked at the others who nodded 'Leaky Cauldron that's probably the name of the pub we were in before' Sakura thought she was right when they were passing by the same old bartender as before.
Sakura and Tomoyo brushed the soot off their clothing waiting for Harry to appear he came crashing down he stood up and brushed himself off. "That was great..." Tomoyo said as she gathered up all her bags and headed up the stairs followed by Sakura and Harry. The Dursleys hadn't even bothered to leave the kitchen to see greet them. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Harry placed all their belonging on the floor and started to get ready for bed, Sakura looked out the window.
"Shit... I have to go...." Sakura said jumping out of the window she ran across the lawn and jumped up onto one of the neighbors roof and began to run towards the forest how could she forget that tonight would be a full moon? She continued to jump from roof to roof she could already fell her bones begin to pop and reform, she quickened her pace, 'Hold it... at least until I reach the cover of the trees...' Sakura told herself. Why did the forest have to be so damn far?
Tomoyo watched Sakura jump from the window, she walked over to the windowsill and looked out to see the full moon hanging in the sky...
