Chapter 3

Harry hadn't left his sisters side as the little yellow talking plush toy explained how she would have to become the Cardcaptor. It made Harry very nervous for her. He didn't want her to get hurt. The black haired boy was about to say something when Sakura agreed to help gather the magic cards.

"Sakura," he said in his soft, whisper like voice, "I don't think that is such a good idea. What if something happens to you?"

Sakura looked at her brother and gave him her best smile, "I know I'll be alright." Harry didn't looked convinced so Sakura grabbed her worried brothers hand. "You'll help me wont you? Then there is no way I could possibly get hurt."

Harry nibbled on his lower lip before nodding, he would do all he could to protect his cousin. Even if that meant keeping a secret from Fujitaka and Toya. The two people he never wanted to deceive. He knew that if they asked a direct question about what was going on, he would answer, but that didn't mean he couldn't avoid the subject for as long as possible.

Harry was worried. His little cousin had been chosen to be a card-captor. So far she had gotten three cards, the Windy, the Fly, and the Shadow. The only ones who knew about capturing cards and Cerberus, or Kero as Sakura called him, was Sakura, Harry and Sakura's friend Tomoyo. Harry thought that Toya might suspect what was going on, but he had no proof of that.

Harry sighed as he finished the dishes. Fujitaka was off at work, Toya was at his latest job and Sakura was at a field trip that Harry had been to sick to go to. He had decided to d he dishes when he got to bored laying in his bed. He knew Toya wouldn't be happy when he found out, but he was just so bored.

'I wonder where Kero is?' Harry thought, he hadn't seen hide no hair of the stuffed toy all day, which was weird since he was supposed to stay home with him that day. Harry gave a small smile, 'He is either still asleep or maybe he decided to sneak off with Sakura.' He knew the little creature loved his sweets and sleep.

Harry was about to go up stairs and see if the yellow plush toy was in his little bed when he heard a strange sound. He looked at the window and saw a beautiful black raven sitting regally outside on the sill. With a confused look Harry went and opened the window allowing the pretty bird in.

The black bird flew in and landed on the chair that he normally sat at and stared at him, holding out the letter that was held tight in its claws.

Harry gulped and carefully took the letter, he squeaked in surprise when the bird immediately took off out the window it had come in. The black haired boy stared at the letter with suspicious surprise.

MR. HARRY POTTER/ KINOMOTO

UNKNOWN LOCATION

JAPAN

The letter was addressed to him, but he didn't know anyone who would send him a letter by bird least of all someone who would use such expensive looking paper. Harry nibbled on his lower lip, wondering if he should open the letter or wait until Toya or his uncle came home. Harry shook himself out of his thoughts and taking a breath he opened the letter, his eyes widening with every word he read.
