Chapter 9 : An Announcement.
The next few days, Syaoran was bombarded with questions of how he changed the pendent into a sword everywhere he went.
He finally shut them all up by telling them that it was Chinese magic and that it was a trade secret. He threatened them that if they don't shut up, he would curse them and set fire to everything they hold dear (A/N: Harsh, isn't it?).
The students who were badgering him quickly shut up and backed away, saying that they had some things to do. Syaoran walked went to the grounds to find Sakura and the others who were there to waiting for him to join them so that they could practice their magic.
"Syaoran, where were you? You're late by 15 minutes!" said Meilin who was looking at her watch.
"I was held up by the other students who wanted to know how I changed my pendent into the sword," explained Syaoran. "I threatened to curse them and set fire on everything they hold dear if they border me again."
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Tomoyo, Sakura and Meilin shouted in unison. "How could you do that?"
"Well. . .I. . .Huh. . ." said Syaoran, stuttering.
"Can we just break up this discussion and get on with the practice?" asked Eriol, cutting in.
"Okay!" said Sakura, quickly breaking up the glare that Meilin tossed at Eriol.
"Can you set up the invisibility shield or what ever you did last time again?" asked Tomoyo sweetly.
"Sure," said Eriol with a small smile on his face. He ignited the shield with a wave of his hand. "Let's start with the practice, shall we?" The others agreed as Kero flew out of Sakura's robe where he had been hiding. Eriol summoned his staff (although he could do wandless magic if he wanted to. So could Sakura.)
"Let's start! You'll be practicing your speed," he said and began firing fireballs at the others. Sakura ran out of the way of the fireballs while Syaoran jumped to avoid them. Tomoyo, seeing a fireball heading towards her, quickly jumped out of the way. Meilin did flips to get out of the fireballs' way. They continued for sometime until Eriol stopped firing.
"Now each of you will put up a shield and the others will try and break it down. Who'll be the first?" asked Syaoran after Eriol had stopped firing the fireballs.
"Me!" volunteered Meilin. She made a sign with her hands and an orange coloured transparent shield-like-dorm covered her and stretched to around 2 feet from her. Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol began throwing curses, hexes and whatever spells they could think of at the shield. The shield lasted for about 20 minutes before is flickered and died.
Tomoyo stepped out and waving her hand, a lavender coloured transparent shield covered her around the same distance as Meilin's did. Her shield also lasted about 20 minutes before it died. Each of them put up a shield (although Sakura would have preferred to use the Shield Card). Syaoran whose shield lasted for about 40 minutes was light green in colour while Eriol's, which lasted for around 50 minutes, was a dark blue in colour. Sakura's, which was a light pink in colour, lasted for an hour.
"Come on! Let's get back to the Castle," said Eriol as he looked at his watch. "It's Dinner already!" The five of them clambered off the grounds and returned to the Great Hall where the majority of the students had gathered. Sakura and her friends settled down and Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"I have just one announcement," said Professor Dumbledore loudly. The quiet whispers in the Hall dimmed until it stopped. "Due to the popular demand, there will be a Halloween Ball on the coming Halloween, which is tomorrow. All students can participate in it. The Yule Ball will also commerce on Christmas but can only be attended by Fourth years and above. Third years and below may attend if they are invited. There will be no Dueling tomorrow," said Professor Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling.
"You may continue eating now." The chatter started up again, as Professor Dumbledore sat down. A few seats down from Syaoran, Lavender was talking excitedly about what she was going to wear to the Halloween Ball.
"What are you going to wear?" asked Sakura, turning to Tomoyo.
"Hmm. . .I don't want to wear the new dress robe we bought. . .So I think I'll have to make one. . .Hey! I can make one for each of you!" said Tomoyo, starry eyed.
"Umm. . .okay," said Meilin, sweat dropping. They others who were sitting near Tomoyo also sweat dropped. Suddenly, Sakura turned, having heard a different language being spoken. She turned and saw Resuna and Jamino talking in Irish.
"I wonder if you are going to go and ask Star about it," Resuna was saying. "They aren't normal."
"Yes but. . .You know Star, you'll have to find out for yourself if you want to know," Jamino replied.
"Yes I know! But she being the Head Girl of the tenth year would entitle her to more info than us. . ." said Resuna when she suddenly noticed Sakura listening to what they were talking.
"What are you talking about?" asked Sakura in Irish, with a smile.
"What?! You can speak Irish?" asked Resuna in surprise, reverting back to English.
"Umm. . .Yes. . .Is there a problem?" asked Sakura, confused.
"Nothing. . ." said Resuna and turned to eat her potatoes.
"Where did you learn Irish, Sakura?" asked Hermione who was sitting beside her.
"Oh! When we were at Eriol's M. . .er. . . House. I think it's called Tree Top House," said Sakura, looking at Eriol who sat opposite her. Eriol gave her a small smile.
" Tomoyo! Can I know what dress you are making for us?" asked Meilin who was seating beside Syaoran.
"No!" said Tomoyo, smiling mysteriously.
"Why? Just a peep will do!" whined Meilin.
"No means no!" said Tomoyo, still smiling.
"Please!" pleaded Meilin, making puppy eyes at Tomoyo.
"NO!" said Tomoyo once again. Meilin turned away from her, knowing that Tomoyo won't tell her anything.

**Star's POV**
I was sitting down just eating the mashed potato that I had put on my plate when I heard Resuna and Jamino talking in Irish about wanting to get information from me.
"I wonder if you are going to go and ask Star about it," Resuna was saying. "They aren't normal."
"Yes but. . .You know Star, you'll have to find out for yourself if you want to know," Jamino replied.
"Yes I know! But she being the Head Girl of the tenth year would entitle her to more info than us. . ." said Resuna when she suddenly noticed Sakura listening to what they were talking. To my surprise, Sakura spoke Irish!
"What are you talking about?" asked Sakura, with a smile. I could see Resuna's eyes widen when she heard Sakura.
"What?! You can speak Irish?" asked Resuna in surprise, reverting back to English.
"Umm. . .Yes. . .Is there a problem?" asked Sakura, confused.
"Nothing. . ." said Resuna and turned to eat her potatoes. After that, she got engaged with Lavender, who was sitting opposite her, in a conversation. I turned to Harry who was sitting beside me and asked him whether he had finished all given assignments and homework to which he nodded. I returned to GUWWM after Dinner as I still had Karate lessons and also to find out more about a certain someone. . .

**Harry's POV**
I'm once again, sitting down in the Great Hall eating Dinner and once again, Ron caught me staring at Hermione.
"Harry! Just tell her how you feel!" said Ron, nudging me.
"I. . .I can't. . ." I said, a pink tingle on my face.
"Come on! If you don't I will!" said Ron as he moved to speak to Hermione.
"Okay! Okay!" I said. Ron quickly turned back to face me. "I'll ask her to the ball tomorrow night. Alright?"
"Yeah!" said Ron and he smiled while eating his chicken.
After Dinner, I got up and walked over to Hermione. I opened my mouth. . .
