The Key to her Heart

Chapter 1

Draco Malfoy, the notorious Slytherin 5th year, glared at the brick wall, and waited for the coming of his archenemy, Harry Potter. He had a very nice plan for him this year, something that the famed boy would never forget.

Ten minutes before departure time, a group of red heads appeared at the place he was staring at. They looked quite disheveled and were very amusing to watch.

The only girl in the group, Ginny, was hitting her two older twin brothers with her purse screaming curses and such. The two boys continued teasing her despite the pain she was inflicting. Two other younger boys, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter, were merely laughing at them.

Draco continued glaring at the group, especially the latter two, when a sweet voice and a flurry of dark hair startled him.

"Draco-kun!" cried an odd Japanese girl as she threw her arms around him and pecked him on the cheek. This caught everyone's attention.

Draco blushed, inspite of himself, and tried to steady the woman. He eyed her and instantly recognized one of his dearest friends.

"Tomoyo!" he cried gleefully and hugged her tightly again. He suddenly realized the queerness of the meeting. "What are you doing here?" he asked her in Japanese, "Are you a witch?"

The answer he received was a wave of the foreign language. The only word he could catch was "kawaii!"

"Slow down dear girl," said Draco in English. "Can you speak English?"

The girl shook her head in negative and ran to grab the wrists of three other people. One of them was wearing an odd green Chinese costume. She introduced these friends of hers as "Sakura-chan," "Li-kun," and "Hiiragizawa-kun."

She then looked at the spectacled boy called "Hiiragizawa-kun" with pleading eyes.

"Onegai! Onegai!" she said as the other girl, "Sakura-chan," joined her in pleading as well. Draco could not imagine what they were asking for because his Japanese has become rusty. The other boy, "Li-kun," merely glared at "Hiiragizawa-kun" as if daring him to defy the wishes of their female companions.

"Hiiragizawa-kun" put up his hands in surrender and removed a golden chain with a key from his neck. He beckoned the two women forward and placed the key on top of their heads. After mumbling a few words, the women's throats illuminated purple for a second and then returned to normal. All Draco could do was gaze in amazement.

"Wicked!" cried Ronald Weasley from behind Draco.

Draco was about to give him a rude remark when he was interrupted by Tomoyo's sweet voice.

"Draco-kun, can I speak English now?" she inquired, ignoring the irritating boy who came up behind them. "Well?"

"Yes Tomoyo."

"Kawaii!" she exclaimed then turned to "Hiiragizawa-kun." "Thank you so much! Why didn't my "kawaii" get translated?" she asked.

"Daidouji-san, the way you used "kawaii" a while ago was in the form of an expression," he explained.

"What if I want to speak Japanese?"

"You're making things difficult."

"I know."

The boy sighed and decided to end the fruitless argument. "I'll fix everything when we get to Hogwarts. Is that okay?"

Tomoyo grinned and nodded as "Hiiragizawa-kun" went away to talk to some professor. She turned back to Draco and hugged him again.

"I missed you, big brother!"

"Me too, little sister," he replied happily, thinking how much better Hogwarts would be with Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo-chan, I didn't know you had a sibling," remarked the honey-haired girl named "Sakura-chan." "Hello. I'm Sakura, nice to meet you," she told Draco with a small bow.

Draco pried Tomoyo off him and returned the bow. "Draco Malfoy."

That was when "Li-kun" turned to him in surprise. "Draco Malfoy . . . you idiot."

Draco suddenly recognized his relative and laughed. "I didn't recognized you Xiao Lang. How's Aunt Yelan? How about your sisters?"

Syaoran instantly removed the frown on his face and grinned at his English cousin. "They're fine. Feimei and Sheifa just got married."

Draco nodded. "That's good. How are you doing? Why are you here? Did you get the Clow Cards already? Why are you with these people? I didn't know you knew my friend, Tomoyo."

Syaoran told him all about Sakura and the Clow Cards-or rather, the Sakura Cards. Sakura blushed and hid behind Tomoyo.

"Mou, Syaoran, I'm not that good."

Syaoran smiled at her warmly. "Of course you are," he said. Sakura blushed even more.

"I believe Xiao Lang," Draco commented, grinning slightly at his cousin's change in attitude. "Syaoran would never compliment if it isn't true. If I remember correctly, he never did compliment anyone. You must've captured his heart quite well Ms. Sakura."

At that the two started blushing, and Tomoyo laughed heartily. "You have no idea Draco-kun."

"Hiiragizawa-kun" walked back to them and told them to board Hogwarts Express immediately for it would be leaving in five minutes.

"I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa, by the way," Eriol told Draco Malfoy. "I'm sorry I didn't catch your name."

"Draco Malfoy."

Eriol nodded and shook his hand. "I hear that you are rivals with the famous Harry Potter. If you don't mind my ignorance, may I ask who is he?"

Draco grinned. "It's funny to meet someone who does not know Harry Potter. He's the one who supposedly destroyed Lord Voldemort."

"Idiocy . . ." murmured Eriol as he watched Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran enter the train. He looked at Draco. "Aren't you going to board?"

"I am. Are you going to?" Draco smirked. There was something odd about this Eriol.

"I have to go somewhere."

"Fine." Draco left Eriol to his own devices. This year will be very interesting . . .

A/N: Yes yes. I know that it's so cliché. It's not that typical is it? Almost all CCS/HP fanfics I read revolved around Harry Potter. It's a sight for sore eyes to see him barely mentioned and unimportant.

How do you like the kinsmanship of Syaoran and Draco? I happen to like it very much. I also like the sibling-like relationship of Tomoyo and Draco. Now who would expect that?

To all Ron Weasley lovers: I apologize. I happen to like Ron, but since this fanfic revolves around Draco somewhat, I couldn't change the inevitable.

This fanfic will change the whole Harry Potter story, making Harry Potter a very minor character . . . well maybe not. He won't be as important and special as before though. Hermione will play a slightly bigger part and Ron will be quite unimportant.

This will not revolve around Sakura and Syaoran's love story. If you have read my other fanfics, you would know who the couple would be, but for now: Ciao!

P.S. I invite you all to read . . .

(HP) Slight Misunderstanding - a one shot Draco angst fic

(CCS) Silhouette - This is a one-shot. If I tell you what this is about, you'd find out who the couple will be.

(CCS) Beauty - The same goes for this one . . .

(CCS) That Day - . . .and this one.

(CCS) Regular or Extra Crispy - This will turn out to be disgusting. The only thing I can say is Psycho Knife-weilding Cannibalistic Child.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry that my work is crap. I'll make it better next time.
