After getting back to the common room the group was ask many questions by only the bravest of Gryffindor. Not many people wanted to face Syaoran.
"So..." Ginny was sitting next to Sakura and figured it might be safe. "How do you all know each other?"
"Before we came to Hogwarts," Meilin who was sitting at the table in front of them playing wizards chess with Ron answered, "we were exchange students in Japan. We meet Sakura and Tomoyo there."
"Ah, yes." Eriol said looking up from his book. Everyone could only guess what was coming next. "The story is quite interesting, really. I favor the love story that took place under every ones noses." Sakura and Syaoran blushed as he said this. Not to mention he started getting REALLY dramatic after he said this.
"A love that was written in the stars-"
"Eriol! Stop that!" Sakura interrupted him.
"Although it wasn't predicted this love-"
"Eriol, shut up!" Syaoran said both Sakura and Syaoran blushing wildly.
"Is unwavering and true to the very end-"
"ERIOL!" Both of them yelled at him this time.
"Perhaps a story for another day." He smiled his Eriol smirk and went back to reading,leaving both red as a tomato.
"Oh, Eriol. You never change do you?" Tomoyo said from her place on the love seat with Hermione. He just smiled at her and stole glances over his book.
"We should really get to bed. I have a feeling that Sakura is going to have a hard time waking up." Tomoyo stood and Sakura placed her head on Syaoran's shoulder.
"Do I have to get up? Can't I just sleep here?" she hugged Syaoran's arm like a pillow. Meilin grabbed Sakura and pulled her off the couch.
"Come on Cinderella. Time for bed." She started pushing her towards ther stairs when Tomoyo said;
"More like sleeping beauty." Tomoyo got up and followed them up the stairs.
"The girls have the right idea. Goodnight." Syaoran left for his room. Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Harry shared looks as he disappeared.
"He talked." Harry said confused. "I'm not sure how to take this."
"Well, my friends." Eriol said shutting his book. "Syaoran was suffering from severe depression. It was caused by not having the wonderful Sakura in his life. He may not seem like it, but he has a good heart. He is loyal, brave, and kind in his on way and time." Eriol remembered all the times Syaoran had been there for not just him, but Meilin too. All of them had been very hurt by the separation, but Syaoran hurt the most of all.
"I guess that kinda makes sense, but why didn't he just go see her?" Ron asked as he cleaned up the chess board.
"There where a lot of complications. I must be getting to bed as well." And with that he was gone, leaving some very confused Gryffindor's.
"I wonder what that means." Was the last thing Harry said before they all went off to bed.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo was shaking a sleeping Sakura trying to wake her up. "Sakura!"
"Whaaaaat?" Sakura groaned. She was having another weird dream, but she couldn't remember what it was about. All she knew is it felt like a vision.
"If you dont get up you wont have anytime to eat breakfast, plus Syaoran is down stairs waiting for you." Sakura shot out of bed and was ready in under 15 minutes. She had almost forgotten that he was here. Almost.
"Its about time." Meilin said as Sakura came down the stairs. "You never change, do you." She laughed remembering all the times Sakura was late...well most of them anyway. There were, are, so many times that one could not possibly try to count.
"Good morning." Syaoran held Sakura's hand then she got up on her tippy toes, because he was way taller than her, and kissed him on the cheek.
"There's no such thing." All of them laughed. "Where is Tomoyo and Eriol?" She looked around for them, but they were no where in sight.
"They already went to breakfast. He said he wanted some time to catch up, or something like that." Meilin said as they made their way to the Great Hall.
"They tied so hard to play match maker that they ended up falling and didn't even realize it." Syaoran sighed.
"I know." Sakura said making both of them give her funny looks. She was so dense when they last saw her to this can as a surprise. "Im not as dense as i once was. I grew up, and now its easy for me to tell what people are feeling, just by looking at them."
"Well, I guess you do change sometimes." Meilin laughed. When the group entered the Great Hall all conversations stopped, and all eyes were on them. Even the teachers had stopped mid sentence to see what was going on. Even Dumbledore Everyone was astonished to see them together. Sakura just happily pulled Syaoran to seats across from Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Dont you people have anything better to do!" Meilin yelled before taking her seat next to Sakura."I cant wait until class."
They had transfigurations, charms, potions, history of magic, defence against the dark arts, divination, and care of magical creatures.
Potions. Scary. That was all Sakura had to say about that class. Professor Snape wouldn't stop looking at her...it got kind of creepy after a while. Defence against the dark arts was the same. Professor Lupin wouldn't stop staring at her. Don't ask her why, because it was really baffling her. Divination was a different story. Sakura almost got a vision, but class was over before she could remember what it was. Care of magical creatures was Sakura's favorite. She really enjoyed the class with Hagrid. Tomoyo's favorite was transfigurations, and she really like Professor McGonagall. In all they had a great first day, but what made it perfect was having their old friends by their side.
