Chapter 14: Harry . . . and Harry? By Myru, Approved by Ayane-chan
Ayane-chan: Before you start telling the chapter, what's with the "that's weird" title?
Myru: I'll think of a better one soon.
~+~+~+~
"Whoa!" Harry shouted. Cho was possessed by the Sword Card and was using the Sword to slice Harry. Luckily, Harry was a fast runner, but he was running from Cho all over the Great Hall. Gryffindors (mainly Hermione, Ron, and the Gryffindor Quidditch team) came to his aid by using spells to stall Cho from hurting him. The Sword Card learned a way to deflect their spells by the third hex. Therefore, Sakura had to use Windy to form a cage around her.
"Okay," Ayane said, grabbing Eriol's arm. "Time for Plan B. Just work with me on this."
"Huh?" Eriol raised an eyebrow, but followed her anyway. As Ayane dragged Eriol out of the Great Hall, Sakura and Harry had their hands full with Cho. The teachers left their meals and joined the crowd, trying to pull Harry this and there to no avail. All the teachers except Godric and Myru, that is.
"Again, shouldn't we help them?" Godric asked Myru at the High Table.
"Again, they'll handle it," Myru replied, not looking at the commotion. "Either way, Ayane's got a good plan up her sleeves and its best not to interfere."
At the crowd, however, didn't think of it the same way. Then the Hall's double doors burst open, revealing Ayane and. . . Harry?
"Hey Cho," the Harry at the double doors said. "Here I am."
"Brilliant act, Kaitou," Myru said. "Cho will surely have to drop Sword now."
"What? How?" Godric asked.
"You'll see, Godric-kun, you'll see."
The Harry at the double doors, which the CCS gang, Hermione, and Ron soon saw turned out to be Eriol! Cho looked at Harry, and then looked at Eriol in a Hogwarts uniform. She didn't know who to attack. The look-alikes were both at the same distance from her at opposite directions. Flummoxed and blank, Cho dropped Sword and fainted.
"SWORD!" Sakura shouted. "RETURN TO YOUR POWER CONFINE!! SWORD!"
A moment later, the Sword Card transformed into card form. Everyone cheered, Harry sighed, and Ayane laughed like a mad genius. Eriol smiled and shook everyone's hand. Now HE was the school's celebrity. Everyone also congratulated Sakura and Ayane for capturing and helping with capturing the Sword.
"Whizzin'!" Godric shouted, so excited Myru had to save him from falling off the High Table.
"Godric, calm down," Myru said, floating Godric into his chair. "Save your energy for later. We're going to need it for the days to come."
~+~+~+~ the Next Day. . .
At lunch, Ayane and Eriol agreed to visit Myru in her classroom, and took the rest of the CCS gang with them.
"Ayane-chan?" Sakura said.
"Yea?" Ayane replied.
"You, Clow Reed, and Kaioh-sensei used to live together, right?"
"Yea, why?"
"It's just weird. You and Myru don't seem as close as you are with Eriol.
"Oh!" Ayane started laughing. "You think that? It SEEMS like that, but it's not. She just doesn't open up to anyone anymore. Myru-san told me it was too dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Tomoyo said. "How can opening up to people be dangerous?"
"If she did open up to people, she said she'd be putting lives on the line. It was too risky. She also said something about losing too many too much, but I forgot what 'too many' meant." Ayane said looking at the double doors to the Defense of Dark Arts Class as Eriol looked away, frowning.
The double doors opened and Myru led them in.
"Thanks," Myru mumbled into Ayane's ear.
"For what?" Ayane asked, blinking.
"Never mind." Myru turned and sat in the desk chair.
"Tell me!!"
Ayane started shouting at Myru, while Godric (who was with Myru), started telling Ayane to shut up. In the end, Sakura had to end the fight, and when everyone got settled in (Ayane, Syaoran, and Godric all far away from each other), Eriol started to talk. Suddenly Everyone except Godric and Tomoyo stood up and Ayane vanished.
"She could have just kept her mouth shut." Godric said. "Now Silent Card's got mad."
"SILENT never really liked Ayane in the past, or even now," Myru said, and then floated out an open window and shouted, "Ayane! Don't make me have to carry you!" Godric started to laugh.
Ayane was found outside near the lake, grumbling and grouchy. "I'd like you to," she said. "Silent dropped me in the air!"
"Fly Card!" Ayane shouted. She started to glow red and a flame appeared in her hand. "Come to my aid!"
Suddenly, the Fly Card did come to her aid, and carried her up to the window. When Ayane went into the classroom safely, the Fly Card shrunk, gave her an affectionate nudge on the cheek, and transformed to card form for Sakura.
"You can summon the Star Cards?!" the rest of the CCS gang exclaimed.
Ayane winked. "That's because they still remember us as their former master's housemates, right Myru-san?"
Myru only nodded and floated into her seat. Eriol also nodded. "First, we have to find out which picture Silent took refuge in."
"Hai," Sakura said, and closed her eyes. The presence came from a picture of a lady walking through an England-old park. She then transformed her key into her wand.
"Illusion, make a huge sound only Silent can hear. Illusion." Sakura chanted quietly.
Illusion turned into a dog whistle and Sakura blew into it hard. Then the lady emerged from the picture, with a finger to her lips. Just at the moment, Sakura captured the Silent Card, and Ayane laughed like a mad genius again.
~+~+~+~ on Valentine's Day
At breakfast, cupids with lyres (small harp-like instruments) came tripping people up and singing strange songs. Harry and Eriol both got drowned in love letters, while Sakura got a lot of chocolates. Hermione gave Harry chocolate, and Ron gave Sakura a letter. Syaoran and Tomoyo gave Sakura homemade chocolate, and Ayane made Eriol some too. In all, they all had to go to the house elves' kitchen to make them.
"Ahem," Godric cleared his throat, getting Myru's attention.
"Yes?" she asked, putting her fork and spoon down.
"Um. . ." Godric stammered. "It looks like you didn't get any valentines from anyone except those Japanese teens."
"Yes," Myru said, looking at the homemade chocolates the CCS gang gave her. "I don't mind, and it's not like I'd expect any more."
"A-a-are you sure you don't want anymore?"
"Why do you ask?"
Godric blushed scarlet and pulled out a circle-shaped chocolate out of his coat pocket; it said "From Godric, To Myru" in white icing. Myru's eyes widened as she let the valentine fall into her hands.
"Godric-kun," she said. ". . . Arigato gozaimashita."
And for the first time, Godric saw Myru smile. "D-did you just smile at me?"
Her smile disappeared from her face, but that just made him grin from ear to ear. "You're welcome."
Meanwhile, Ayane was staring at their conversation, and when she saw Myru smile, her jaw dropped.
"No way!" Ayane shouted, not noticing the people staring at her. "How could that idiot make Myru -- what?"
Eriol chuckled. "What's wrong with that? He might be worthy."
"Whaddaya mean 'WORTHY'?!" Ayane shouted again.
"I mean, she might think of him as-"
"Oh HECK no!!!"
"Why are you so defensive about Myru getting a-"
"Because it's just WRONG!!! She's not like that!!!"
"It's not wrong and you're not like that."
"But I'm different. She's-she's. . ." Ayane's voice faded and to end the conversation, she took a huge bite out of her French toast.
"Gah!" Ayane spit out her French toast, which wasn't French toast anymore. It was sugar!
Everyone around her started to spit out their food, which turned to sugar in their mouths. *cough* *cough* Harry coughed out his porridge.
"What's going on? I just swallowed a mouthful of sugar! " Said Harry, spitting out what was left of his un-eaten porridge. "Is this a card's work?"
"I don't know," said Sakura, and the CCS gang/magic-holders agreed.
If this was a card's work, why couldn't they sense it?
~+~+~+~ During Transfiguration
"Maybe we should check the kitchens," Ron said to Sakura, letting Hermione teach her how to 'swish and flick'.
"Yeah, and we can ask Dobby if anything has been going on," Harry said, trying to turn a pillow into a lamb. That resulted in the pillow having fleece covered over it with four legs and a black head. Unfortunately, it was a stuffed animal, and not living.
"Who's Dobby?" The CCS gang asked him.
"A house-elf," said Hermione in her 'matter of fact' tone. "They're magical creatures that labor for the rich and wealthy wizarding families."
(Myru: She sounds like me.
Ayane: Yup yup.)
"What do they look like?" Sakura asked.
". . . You'll find out when we get there."
"Woo hoo!" said a voice behind them, after Transfiguration. They all turned around to see Godric . . . whooping.
"What's your deal?" Ayane asked, folding her arms and raising an eyebrow.
Godric's huge heart was shown in the background. "Miss Kaioh smiled at me! Do you think she's -"
"What's so cool about that? Just 'cause you gave her a valentine?"
"Well, she never smiled at me before."
"She smiled at us when we gave her valentines," said Syaoran.
"Wha? For how long?"
The CCS gang thought for awhile and agreed that she smiled for about three minutes. You can see Godric's heart break in half in the background.
"What did she do?" asked Godric, his hopes a little shattered.
The CCS gang thought more and said she hugged the boys and laughed with the girls. You can see Godric's heart break into four pieces now.
"W-w-what did she say?" the green-haired guy asked.
"She said she was grateful and laughed," they all said. Now Godric's heart shattered into 8 pieces.
"That's it?" he asked, wishing to himself that was all.
"She gave me a chocolate valentine," they replied in unison. Godric's heart shattered into 16 pieces, turned into dust, and was swept to the four winds. *sweat drop*
~+~+~+~ In the Kitchens . . .
Sweet was dancing around there, floating ingredients into Myru's hands. She was a cute little girl in a puffy costume of fleece, holding a wand.
"This time we'll get it right, Sweet Card," said Myru, putting something in the oven. "Just remember not to touch it with your hands next time, okay?"
Sweet nodded, but hummed, as if asking a question.
"The last batch that you touched with the white one in it was for . . ." Myru started, but the portal hole of the kitchens banged open. The CCS gang and Harry and Co. came through the door.
"Expelliarmus!" Hermione shouted. The spell slammed Sweet into a wall behind her, leaving her hands out of reach of anything.
"SWEET CARD! Return to your power confined! SWEET!" shouted Sakura, pointing her wand at SWEET and then *poof* she turned into her card form.
"Great, Sakura," said Harry. "Wait a minute. Miss Kaioh? What are you doing here?"
Myru blinked twice and then picked up her suitcase. "I was just keeping Sweet company." She walked away only to come back later in the evening.
"Liar," said Ayane, sticking out her tongue at the teacher.
'What are you talking about?" asked Eriol. "She's not lying."
"How do you know?"
Eriol smiled and walked away, leaving the rest to ponder and try to catch up to him.
~+~+~+~ Later in the day. . .
Myru was looking for someone through the halls of Hogwarts. Then she was someone's heel turn to a hallway. She floated over to the corner and then fell to the floor.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't see you, Miss Kaioh," said Godric, trying to help her up.
"That's alright," Myru said, dusting herself off. "I was looking for you anyway."
"Really?" Godric's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes; here." Myru held out a white valentine out to him, giving him a small smile.
"Aw, thanks!"
~+~+~+~
Ayane: Aw, isn't that KAWAII?
Myru slaps Ayane on the back of her head.
Ayane: OWW!
Myru: Ja né.
Ayane: Huh? *whack* Ow! Awright already! Ja né!
