[Chapter One – Ruining A Great Vacation]

Disclaimer: Card Captor Sakura belongs to CLAMP and Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. Need I say more?

Scribbles: Just like most of the HP/CCS fics, they're all fifteen. However, the second movie never happened, in other words, Syaoran never came back and in Sakura's knowledge, he's still training for the position of the future Li Clan leader. Yada, yada, yada… Okay, this might be a little serious or what, I don't know. Oh, and another thing before I forget, Takashi, Chiharu, Rika and Naoko are witches. End of… OH ALMOST FORGOT, the cards wouldn't be used this time, but a new kind of magic. Kero and Suppi is still here, however, I made up a new story on how Sakura met them. Is that fine with you guys? Okay… I think that's all for now.

"Moshi, moshi! Sakura desu." I greeted through the receiver.

"Ohayo, Sakura-chan! Moo sumi desu ka?(1)" Tomoyo greeted back in her usual cheery voice. We are about to meet in the King Penguin Park for a picnic. Syaoran, Eriol, Nakuru, Chiharu, Takashi, Naoko, Rika, Kero-chan and Suppi- chan would be there too. Tomoyo told us the plan last week. First, we have a picnic in Penguin Park and then, we go to the indoor swimming pool for a swim. Tomoyo bought the tickets and even reserved some places for us.

"Hai! Naji desu ka?(2)" I asked, for since this morning, all the clocks stopped dead in our house, I believe Eriol-kun was up to this. I didn't know what was on his mind, but why did he stop the clocks only at our house and not Tomoyo's?

"Chotto matte kudasai… Yoji han. (3)" She answered. "Your clocks stopped clicking too?"

I was taken a back with what Tomoyo said. "Too?"

"Hai, the clocks in our house stopped during midnight and it were really a pain. The grandfather clock in the living room kept on chiming its bell." Tomoyo explained, with a little bit of annoyance on her voice. "I had to call Eriol up and it seems that his spell somewhat backfired."

"I believe it backfired again. Who's next?" Okay, let me rephrase the thing I said earlier about Tomoyo's house clocks not malfunctioning.

I could hear my best friend laugh at the other line. "Probably his. I sure would like to see his expression when that happens to him." I laugh along.

"Well, we'll meet in Penguin Park, ne?" I just had to make sure, last time when we had a picnic, I went to the Aquarium instead of the museum.

"Right! So, see you soon! Jaa!"

"Jaa!"

I went up, took a quick shower and got dressed. Today's activities are well planned, what else could go wrong? Nothing, ne? WRONG!

A few minutes later thunder boomed it's raining harder; usually the signs of bad weather. (4) I groaned and soon the phone started ringing. I guess it was one of the guys, telling that the whole thing was cancelled out. I picked it up and answered, it was Tomoyo again. I was right, they did cancel it.

I lay back in bed and sighed a long, deep sigh.

"Something wrong?" I heard Kero-chan say from my bedside table. Cerberus, or Kero-chan for short, became my guardian starting from the day I learnt about controlling the elements of nature.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura-chan! Ogenki desu ka (5)?" Mukiko, the storekeeper greeted once Sakura stepped in the store.

"Genki desu! Hisashiburi desu, ne (6)?"

"Hai!" Mukiko chuckled as she made her way to the counter. "Anything you'll need?"

"Hai, it's Tomoyo-chan's birthday on Saturday and I'm planning to give her something on that day. (7)" Sakura replied, while browsing the display of colorful stuffed animals.

"Sure, take you time. I'll just be in the stock room."

'I wonder if Tomoyo would like one of those…' She thought as she looked at the stack of boxes containing birthday bears (8). 'Nah! Probably she has a ton of those…' She walked slowly and found a teddy-bear making kit.

'Hey, I remember those! We used to make one where we were in fourth grade!' She smiled at the thought of it, and blushed when she remembered that Syaoran gave her one of the bears he made.

So walk, walk, walk (9) until she met up with a stuffed (10) yellow bear with cute little wings and a very innocent smile on it's face. (11)

The rain hasn't died down, as I tried to sleep. However, I still can't for the continuous rain drops hitting my windows were creating such a racket, I can't even think for once. A few minutes had passed and I finally found out that the clocks started ticking. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on sleeping. Although it was already four in the afternoon, I don't why but I just wanted to sleep, no other.

I heard a constant tapping on my window, at first I thought someone was throwing stones at my room.

"Can you stop that? I'm trying to sleep in here!" I screamed angrily not bothering to look out. It's normal for me to do that, usually I get cranky when it's raining.

The tapping continued to go on for minute getting louder and louder after each second. Fuming I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I said, cut that out!" I glared at the window and to my surprise, instead of finding a few stones on the windowsill, I saw an owl, perched up. I could tell from it's expression (12) that it wasn't happy.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I quickly apologized and let the winged creature in. "Another letter from Hogwarts?" I asked and it hooted in response. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had been sending me letters since I was eleven. Now that I'm fifteen, they are still sending me an invitation to study in their school. Usually, I forget about it, but they send tons of letters afterwards. Therefore, I just had to reply by owl telling them that I won't come.

I would love to study in Hogwarts, but the problem is, I'm afraid of leaving Tomoyo, Chiharu and all of my friends and family in here. I already lost Touya-oniichan because he was working abroad, I don't want to leave my father too. He might be all alone.

Quickly dismissing the idea, I took a dish of water and gave it to the owl. I nipped my finger in gratitude and drank the water from the cup. I was petting it when otousan arrived.

"I heard some shouting in here." He stated in a concerned way. Also, speaking about Hogwarts, I actually never told him about those invitations and all. I'm in big trouble… or am I?

He spotted the owl that hooted disapprovingly at him when he entered. "You've got an invitation to attend Hogwarts?" He was surprised about that. He wasn't the only one.

"Otousan, you know about Hogwarts?" He just smiled at me and told me the story that okaasan and him met there. I thought they met in another school, you know, the usual muggle school. Then, I told him about not telling him about the letters and the invitation for four years. He just smiled and nodded.

Footnotes:

01. Are you finished?

02. Yes! What time is it?

03. Wait a minute… 4:30 PM

04. That rhymes!

05. Good morning, Sakura! How are you?

06. Fine. It's been a long time since we haven't seen each other, right?

07. When it comes to birthdays, I'll apply the Western tradition of giving gifts, but not celebrating in a way like a birthday party. I think I'll still apply our tradition of the everyone-celebrates-their-birthday-on-the- new-year celebration.

08. Any of you guys know that? It's cute, it's those little bears in boxes, each representing a different date.

09. Yes, I'm getting bored with all that browsing so just walk, walk, walk…

10. Well d-uh! Do you think it's a real bear?!? Sorry, I'm writing this early in the morning because my sister woke me up and now I can't sleep and now, I'm really getting cranky and annoyed because (1) I am not a morning person and (2) she woke me at five in the morning?!?! Imagine that…. Well whatever.. I'll go to sleep afterwards and … yada, yada, yada…

11. Well, I'll end it here because you'd probably know what happened next. Tomoyo opened the gift and Kero popped out, angrily demanding why the heck was he kept inside a stuffy box. Then he introduces himself and blah, blah, blah…

12. If an owl have an expression.

The end!! So how was that? Good or bad? Well, anyway, hope you guys review! Do you think I should continue?

Just a bonus thing:

Maybe I'll add one after every chapter… ne? Just tell me if I should add this to just for fun… Ey! The disclaimer still applies on this. ^_^

I wonder what will Yue look like is he smiles like this: =D

What would you do to people who kill people just because they killed people who kill people who kill people who kill people who kill other people?
