Hey all, Sorry for the wait. I have (for the first time) looked back at my work and realized that a vital part of chapter 4 is missing. I have now also realised my first few chapter are truly appaling so I thank you for getting this far with the story! It will get better..please trust me! Anyway, the chapter has in it that the three Asian teens went into the Leaky Cauldron and we discover they are famous here etc. The story doesn't really flow very well without so I am going to try and rewrite it and add it in. Please bear with me but until then I have written a mega cool chappy (well it isnt really mega cool but you get me) where...well you will have to see! ;-) Please review as it gives me the insentive and encouragment to carry on and re-write parts to improve the story. Any comments are helpful and if anyone wants to be my better reader, please email me or write it in your review...any help would be great! Thanks loads! Luv ya all, Kawaii- Fairy-Emma' xxxx
Disclaimer- I dont own any of it except the plot which is yet to emerge! lol....

One Girl Makes A Difference
Chapter 6- East is East
--------------------------------------------------------------
Last Tine.....
As I went in for the sealing kiss, I suddenly caught site of a small red flashing light. Dammit. We had been spied on.
I pulled away and after seeing Syaoran's hurt face quickly whispered;
'It's Tomoyo and Eriol! They have been watching the whole time!!'
Ha ha..our 'friends' were in for it now. Syaoran had a face like thunder which I know I would not want to be on the receiving end of.
Beginning to fear my friends lives, I quickly said the star chant under my breath and activated 'time' under my breath, keeping all but Syaoran and myself in another time dimension. Basically I froze time for everyone except us. You see, I really wanted to kiss him and the others would wait till later.
And all I can say is that after all them years of wait...it was well worth it.
Continued...
After a good few hours.. Syaoran and myself got quite tired so I decided to unfreeze time (so really it wasn't a few hours....it was actually nothing...weird!) A few years ago, I might have been quite tired after using my magic for so long, but now after a lot of training with Eriol, I didn't even break into a sweat. I think Syaoran was quite impressed!
'So, what actually happened that night when I got ill?' I asked, that afternoon, while sitting outside this great ice-cream parlour in Diagon Alley.
Syaoran squinted in the sunlight, 'Well, I had got to Diagon Alley the same day you had and had met up with Eriol while you and Tomoyo were unpacking. He said that you were here but thought it would be better if we didn't meet up yet..'
I turned to give a hard look at my half-father who was seated next to Tomoyo on the other-side of the table. He just shrugged annoyingly.
My boyfriend (ah!! I love saying that!!) continued,
'I had no choice but to obey...for now anyway, so when Eriol went back to the inn, I went to have walk around the place, just thinking really. I was in a shop down this shifty area when it started to rain. I wasn't too worried as it pretty much reflected my mood but nether the less, I made my way back to the inn. Just as I was doing that though, I felt your aura flare, I hadn't felt it before because I take it you were shielding it..' I nodded in affirmation, 'but of course I would recognize it anywhere! I panicked and ran in the direction I felt it...and there you were.'
I had a bite of my ice-cream sundae that I was sharing with Syaoran (chocolate) and continued to listen...it felt like I was listening to a soap opera!
'I picked you up and took you back to the inn, running into Eriol and Tomoyo on the way back. They came with me, as they were looking for you, and Tomoyo sorted your clothes out. We just let you sleep then and...well sleep you did!'
I was feeling much better as I had performed a few spells to cure my cold...I know technically you should use your magic to help others but...I don't do it often....well much...never mind.
'So how long do we have till school Eriol?'
'2 days...'
'Cool....but what do we do till then?'
'Whatever you wish Sakura, my dear,'
I shifted awkwardly, 'I'm quite nervous, about it all, actually, ' I admitted.
Tomoyo nodded immediately, ' Me too! I thought I was the only one seeing as you all have magic!'
Syaoran frowned, ' Well so do you now Tomoyo, just not the same kind as us.'
'Yeah, I guess, but you have more experience in it all. If you know what I mean..'
Just as she said that, a group of four teens walked into the cafe and sat down, talking loudly. Two of them had shocking red hair while the other girl and boy were brunettes. I stopped talking and motioned the others to follow so I could hear what they were saying.
"I wonder what sixth year will be like!' the girl said, excited.
'I'll probably nearly be killed again...same as always!' the brunette boy didn't sound very optimistic....
Do you think we should introduce ourselves? They sound like they are Hogwart's students so it would be nice to know some people before we went...I sent a telepathic message to the group.
Hello Sakura...I don't think that is exactly wise seeing as you are already quite high-profile as it is... Syaoran frowned at me.
I pulled a face at the amber-eyed boy in front of me, well I don't care...I can handle myself!
And with that I turned around to the group behind me.
'Hi! I am very sorry, but I couldn't help over hearing that you are Hogwart's students, am I correct?'
The boys, I noticed, immediately flushed bright red. I can only presume it was due to the extreme hotness of the day and they have had a reaction or something...weird...The brunette girl stood up and introduced herself.
'Hi! I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron and Ginny,' she motioned to the two red-heads, ' and this is Harry Potter.'
I nodded and smiled and was about to introduce myself when Ron interrupted,
'Aren't you going to say anything?'
Well...I thought. That isn't a very nice attitude to a stranger. I tried to defend myself.
'Well, I was just about to introduce myself and my friends if you gave me a minute!' I retorted.
He blushed even further, 'No, sorry. That's not what I meant. I didn't mean to jump down your throat. I meant, aren't you going to say...'oh yes i know him! He's Harry Potter!'
Now it was my turn to blush, 'Erm...who?'
Now all three gaped at me. I could feel Syaoran tugging at my rusty-pink dress that I was wearing over some three-quarter length jeans. I ignored him, brushing his hand away. This was my mess to get out of.
'Oh my....' Hermoine stood with her mouth wide open, 'the boy-who-lived, saviour of the wizarding world, original destroyer of you-know-who?! Ring a bell?'
'You know who what?'
Now I was really confused. I was also beginning to feel angry at Eriol for neglecting to tell me all this apparently vital information.
This 'legend' (or so everyone proclaimed him to be) merely sat and rolled his eyes.
'Voldermort'
Hermione, Ginny and Ron all gasped.
'Erm...again, I ask who?'
Yet again, Syaoran was tugging on my top, hissing at me to 'just leave it!' but I was determined now and getting even more angry at Eriol for making me look like a fool.
'Erm can you hold on for one minuet please? Thanks so much....'
Under my breath I quickly froze time for all but myself and Eriol, Syaoran, Tomoyo. and turned towards the group.
'Eriol...why did you not notify me of this Voldertmart? And Harry Potter?? There is obviously something I am missing in this story...'
Eriol just sighed.
'I forgot to be honest. I didn't think it was important...'
I was beginning to get even more angry at him and tried to calm myself down. Deep breaths..deep breaths....
'Okay Eriol. If you don't explain to me in one minute what is going on I will throw this,' I conjured up a powerful water ball in my hands and played with it between my fingers,' directly at your hair which will mess it up. Right (i stressed each word). In front. Of. Tomoyo.'
Though you realise, I said this last part under my breath. Till tossing the water from one hand to another.
'What did she say Eriol?' Tomoyo tugged at his shirt but my half-father just stared at me, his eyes narrowing.
He then briefly explained to me about this 'dark-lord' and that the muggle world was still in fear of his imminent return. That was another reason I was here apparently.
'But I wouldn't be worried about him,' Eriol concluded, 'taking him down would be walk in the park for you but i think it is best to let the muggles deal with things in their own way.'
I shrugged, 'Sure, whatever.'
I then unfroze time and turned back to the English teens.
'Sorry about that...' I smiled sheepishly. When I got no reply, I looked up and saw four slack-jawed teens.
I then realised that for them, no time had actually passed. I had said 'one minute please' and then turned around and had turned back immediately...maybe that was why they were staring at me.
'How an earth did you do that?' Hermione finally asked.
It was only then that I realised they were staring at my hands. Or to be more exact...what was IN my hands. Whoops. I hadn't stopped the water ball. It was still in my hands and I was unconsciously playing with it, tossing it from one hand to the other. I quickly made it disappear.
'Sorry about that...he he...' I stuttered.
'No wait...how did you do that? How old are you? Isn't that a bit advance magic for your age??' For our age at that matter?' I have never seen anyone do that before!' Ron exclaimed.
I didn't really see what all the fuss was about to be honest. It was only a water ball...Syaoran and Eriol could do it.
Before I could reply, Tomoyo interrupted,
'It's because she is Cardcaptor Sakura!!'' She said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Hermione rolled her eyes.
'I knew it was you!! You are in 'History of Eastern Sorceress and Sorcerers ' by Clow Reed! I read all about you..it is amazing to meet you. Are you going to Hogwarts then? Will you be in our year?'
All these questions were making me dizzy. I tried to answer one at a time. Turning to Ron, I started to answer the best I could,
'Erm...I'm thirteen, I dont think it is advanced for my age. It is just a different kind of magic. Im not too sure you can do it but then Im not sure I can do Western Magic so....Hermione, I dont really know what books I am in because we have only just got here. Erm...we are going into sixth year. What year are you going into?'
'Sixth too' the Potter boy answered. he hadnt spoken much. Maybe he was shy.
'I'm in fifth!' Ginny exclaimed.
'Sugi! I mean cool!' I nodded, trying to adapt to the language I was now speaking (due to the help of a spell.
'So what were we saying before?' I asked.
'About the fact that you didn't know who you-know-who was!' Ginny answered for me.
'Oh yeah...erm (i blushed) that was just a slip of the tongue! Of course I know who he is!' I gave a nervous laugh.
Behind me I heard the scraping of chairs.
'Sakura-chan we are going back to the Inn. Are you coming?' Tomoyo asked me.
I nodded, 'Sure, one minute?'
'Well I better me off. I'll see you all around? It was nice to meet you!' I told my new friends.
After a chorus of 'bye's"' I took Syaoran's outstretched hand and walked back to the Inn.
