"KINOMOTO SAKURAAAA!!!" A high-pitched voice broke through the silence.
"Nani?" I bolted up straight from my four-poster bed. Beside me, Dita stood smirking.
"First day of school today, we have to choose some extra subjects to take this year." She explained. I noticed that she already took my robes out and laid them on the bed. Sleepily, I nodded and got dressed.
"Quick, we don't want Professor McGonagal to wait. Remember, we still have to attend breakfast. It's the first day of school today." She reminded. I stopped and just stared at her. First day? First day of school? What does she mean first day of school?
"Isn't it Sunday today?" I asked, making sure I heard correctly.
"No, it's Monday, first day of school, September first!"
I thought for a while and remembered about Syaoran. "Li Syaoran, we met him, didn't we?"
Dita just arched her brow at me. "Li Syaoran? Is he Chinese or something? Never heard of him."
"That can't be." I protested. "I just slapped him in the um… five days ago."
"Five days ago, we haven't met yet, so probably, I wasn't there."
"Five days ago was the start of classes."
Dita stopped in front of me and checked my temperature. "Normal… You know Sakura, maybe it's all a dream."
A dream? It all seems so real. I remembered meeting Chiharu, Rika and Naoko, maybe I could ask Dita about them. "How about Mihara Chiharu and Yamazaki Takashi?"
"I know Takashi, you told me about him last night. You know you told me you miss everyone in Tomoeda that you wish you could hear one of his lies."
"And what about my brother?" This is the last time I'm going to ask, if the answer is negative, then I would think it's all a dream.
Sighing, Dita answered my question. "You didn't tell me you had a brother. Are you sure you're all right?"
I gave her a reassuring nod. So, it was all a dream. Perhaps another of those strange dreams I usually have. Maybe I could just forget about it, it's just a dream anyway. But what is this feeling that something else is going to happen?
We arrived at the Deputy Headmistress' office, which was very big. There was a red tablecloth with yellow (AN: Is that yellow or gold?) sequins around the hemline and the Hogwarts logo imprinted at the center. I looked around, most of the faces are quite familiar, some whom I met in the train, while some, just plainly new.
"Tomoyo-chan, is Chiharu here?" I asked the black-haired girl beside me.
"Iye, something wrong?" I'm sure she was concerned about me.
"I had a dream last night. I dreamt about meeting Syaoran Li and slapping him the face for no reason and also I dreamt that Touya-oniichan is one of the professors." I explained, taking the paper handed to us and checking almost anything.
Tomoyo watched as I checked absentmindedly and just kept on babbling about my dream. "Are you sure you'd want to take all of those subjects?" She asked, pointing to Divination, Muggle Studies, Aritmancy and more.
I blushed in embarrassment. "Oops…"
"Dita, what's Divination all about?" I asked, for Aida was the only one who's been living in England. She's just like Japanese-English or something.
"Divination is one of the weirdest things in the magical world." She looked at her list and back at us again. "You know, fortune telling, tarot cards, tea leaves…" She replied in a misty voice and flailed her hands in the air, imitating the fortune telling gypsies of Paris. "Oops! Sorry!" She apologized once she bumped a paperweight from the professor's table.
Divination doesn't sound good, who wants to predict his or her own future? I erased the blank beside Divination (AN: Don't ask how did she erase it, I don't know how either). All that's left is Arithmancy, Muggle Studies and Care for Magical Creatures.
Finally, after checking and rechecking our checklist (o.O?), we made our way to the Great Hall. It was nearly full, with almost half of the students still making their way, or still sleeping in their beds, most were excited knowing who will be the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher (Why does this subject have a very long name?) this year.
"Some say it's cursed." A girl named Pansy Parkinson explained. "It's because we have a different teacher each year. It's been going on for more than we know."
"What happened with the other professors?" Dita asked out of curiousness.
"In my first year, there was Professor Quirrel. I don't know what happened with him, but he suddenly left the job at the end of the school year. It must have been something with that Potter. Then nest was the looser, Lockhart. At the end, we found out that everything he said were all lies. He lost all of his memory because of a memory charm. Third year, perhaps Professor Lupin led the first serious lesson we had in two years. Bad thing though is that he was found out to be a werewolf by yours truly, Professor Snape. And finally, last year we had Professor "Mad Eye" Moody who talked about curses and more. Well, he had this eyes that seems to be always rotating. He always shouts "Constant Vigilance" for some unknown reason. He was figured out to use some polyjuice potion, or a potion used for changing to a certain person. The real Mad Eye Moody happens to be quite scared of what happened, didn't bother to teach anymore."
"Oh…" This was all we were able to say. I guess the job could really be cursed.
I suddenly remembered my dream a while ago. "You know, I could guess who will be the next Defense Against Dark Arts teacher."
"Who?"
I thought for a moment, a part of my dream didn't actually came true, like bumping my head on the door and meeting Chiharu, Naoko and Rika. Eriol-kun was there, but I'm not sure of his position, so who could be the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher?
"Never mind."
At this time, Professor Dumbledore (Is that right?) stood up, cleared his throat and began to speak. "The Defense Against Dark Arts teacher has arrived, although the teacher might be the person some doesn't expect to be. The Defense Against Dark Arts teacher is…"

The end! Hehehehe…

"Mizuki Kaho!" I watched the redhead teacher walk past the tables, with a few stares from most of the boys and sat down on the empty seat beside Dumbledore.
"A lady! That's so unexpected." A Gryffindor exclaimed as she checked the teacher. I just smiled. Well, maybe Defense Against Dark Arts won't be the same as before, now that we've got Mizuki-sensei as the teacher.
The schedules were passed on as I checked mine. Yes, Touya-oniichan was there and he's teaching Muggle Studies, just like in my dream. Maybe I just had to consult Tomoyo-chan later on about that.
"Quick we have Card for Magical Creatures next!" Dita reminded because I was obviously taking my time on walking outside.
It seems that after Transfiguration, I seem to run out of energy. We were supposed to turn our quills into any item heavier than the quill itself. So far, what I came up is a button. Unfortunately for Aida, all she had was a desk that was set on fire. So much for Transfiguration.
We made our way to a clearing with only a hut with a small chimney on the roof visible. Besides the hut was probably the classroom. It was, perhaps, the only open classroom, for it was located in a garden. From our view, I could see a giant man with a very shaggy and unruly beard, just arranging crates in line. Inside the creates were creatures that look like fishes that squirm on two legs.
"What are these?" I asked the giant who just scoffed at me.
"Giddywalkers…" He replied in a sort of snobby way. I looked at the fish like things with legs; it didn't look like they're walking, it seems that they're gliding on ice.
"It looks similar to the Kappa…" Dita pointed. "Just look at its fins by the sides and it's webbed feet." She pointed at one whose cleaning its foot just like a cat. It feet looked just that of a duck, however, full of scales.
"Kappa?"
"You know, those monkey that swim in the hot springs of the rural areas in Japan?" That didn't bring anything. Monkeys? I've spent all of my fifteen years staying in the urban areas, that I never got the chance of visiting most of the rural parts of my own country.
Dita could see the even more confused look on my face. "They have white fur and a very red face." She added. Now I got it. So those things were called Kappas. I never knew that. I nodded, telling her that I actually understand.
"Do they swim in the water?" I asked the giant who was just staring at us as we talked about Kappas.
For once, I though his voice became a bit gentle compared to a while ago. "They do, they even walk on land at the same time. Se those webbed scaly feet, -He pointed at the pair of green feet- if they look dry, it means the Giddywalker is sick or dying."
"What part of Japan are you from?" I asked. Funny, we just met yesterday and we found out that we're from the same country but I just asked from which part is she lives exactly just now.
"Miyagi." Dita replied. "Now, quick we'll be loosing a seat soon." She pulled me towards a seat near the sides. I just sat behind her.
The giant man, or Hagrid, came up to be our professor. Not surprised here, for he seems to know many things about today's topic. Each of us was given one Giddy whatever as Aida, late as usual, walked in and took her seat beside me.
I started taking down notes about these strange creatures when I felt something land on my head. Quickly, I brought my hand to my head and tried to check if there is any like a piece of paper or something. Positive. I just ignored it and continued taking notes. A few minutes more, the same thing happened, I just decided to ignore it like before. And finally, I was really getting annoyed with the person throwing those pieces of paper, parchment or whatever, just who is responsible for that action so I looked behind me and saw a familiar boy with chestnut brown hair and amber yes just smiling at me. Syaoran Li.
This is real, I'm not dreaming. –I thought quietly and looked back at the Professor, though my mind wasn't focused on the lesson. – He's there, behind me, breathing, not just a fragment of my imagination.
Thinking was obviously confusing, for all I know I met Syaoran twice this year, once in my dreams and the other at this time. Who knows maybe the whole thing is actually a dream. I concentrated on the whole study once more; I missed almost half of what Hagrid was saying just because of my stupid thoughts. Oh well, maybe I should just ask Dita or Aida then.
"Well, that's all for today, get going now or you'll be late for your next lesson." Hagrid concluded as he wiped the mess he made with the Giddywalkers on his desk. I took my bag and watched three students walk up to Hagrid and talk to him. I just left the classroom leaving my dreams and Syaoran Li in the farthest corner of my brain.
"Hey I've been calling you for four minutes already!" Syaoran stated, catching up with my pace.
"Good, just a few seconds more it would be five minutes. Ano, I've got Transfiguration next, so I've got to go, see you later!" I replied quickly, simply running towards the classroom. In a few seconds I'm obviously going to be very late.
"Sakura, can I see your watch?" He asked. My watch? He wants to look at my watch? Is he crazy or something?
I sighing, I handed him my baby blue watch that stopped ticking. I noticed it just now.
"Muggle items stops or malfunctions here in Hogwarts." He explained. "I'll have Hermione fix this and returned by tomorrow."
Mou! How could I forget! Silly me…
"Thanks, what's the real time?"
He checked his bewitched watch and just gave me a smile. "You're five minutes early."
Sighing made my pace slower and walked beside him.
"Thanks…" I muttered, wondering what else to say after four long years. "So, is this where you have been training your magic?"
Syaoran nodded. "I can't afford sending you a letter by owl. You know, magic and Muggles don't mix."
"Sakura-chan! You've met Li-kun! How nice!" (Guess who)
"Oh, you noticed! How nice!" I replied sarcastically. Maybe Tomoyo was just waiting for us to "get acquainted" or so. Another of those mischievous plans of hers.
"Hiiragizawa and Meiling are also here." She added. I noticed a familiar black haired boy with that scary smile plastered on his face standing behind me while a ruby-eyed girl joined us after.
"I noticed…" I took my seat and found Dita sitting on one of the corners with a really annoyed look on her face. I guess she also forgot that items such as my watch don't work in this school.
I stopped just by the door and suddenly, it hit me. "Eriol!" Both my mind and I screamed angrily.
"Something wrong, my half-daughter?" He asked, funny how he could seems very innocent at most times, but this is OUTRAGEOUS!
Angrily, I snatched my wristwatch from Syaoran's grip, startling him.
"Daijoubu?" The amber-eyed friend of mine asked. I guess he seems quite unaware of Eriol's action.
"For one thing, my watch is bewitched and it's working perfectly last night. It won't stop unless…"
"Unless some magician triggered the bewitched gadget with his own magic." Syaoran continued for me.
I nodded and responded at the same time, "Exactly!"
Eriol sighed in defeat and snapped his fingers. My wristwatch soon started ticking and it worked just like before. I made my way towards Dita and we sat near her, after a few explanations and introductions, of course.

"Maybe it tells the future." Tomoyo suggested once I asked her about what my dream meant. We were sitting in front of the lake after dinner and we hadn't had the slightest touch of sleepiness.
I thought for a while. "If it tells the future, then how come almost half of it didn't happen?" For once, I thought what I said actually made sense.
"You're right." She replied. "I know!" Her eyes lit up when she said these, I guess she had an idea, typical Tomoyo Daidouji. "Maybe it's a premonition!"
A premonition… Yes, maybe it is a premonition. But what is a premonition? I asked Tomoyo what does premonition mean. She just gave me one of her smiles and shrugged.
"I don't know. It just sounds cool."
Let me correct what I said earlier. That is so unlike the Tomoyo Daidouji I know. All I came to know was the Tomoyo Daidouji that always know the answer and knows almost everything under the sun.
Well, maybe she also has her limitations. – I reasoned in my mind. "Konbanwa!"
"Konbanwa!"
I made my way up the spiral stairs and finally, when I thought I would collapse because of sleepiness, I reached a dead end.
"Lizard Tails…" I mumbled. The "wall" slid showing a dimly lit room, also known as the Slytherin common room. There were some students, with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, still awake, scribbling stuff into their parchments. Perhaps they're rushing the summer homework they didn't bother to do.
After muttering a "good night" I climbed another set of stairs leading to the girls dorm. There, I could see my four-poster bed just a few steps away. I slid the green curtains aside and slept a dreamless sleep.
-0-0-0-0-0-0-
Yay! The real ending! Hehehe… can't do anything it's eleven thirty P.M. in here and I really can't sleep well. So please review! Konbanwaaaaaaaaaaa!
