The Key to her Heart
Chapter 2
"Draco-san, what's in Hogwarts?" Sakura asked innocently, nervously fingering the light pink robe she was wearing. "Why is everyone wearing black? Are you a relative of Syaoran-kun?" Syaoran hid a smile while Tomoyo looked at Draco, anxious for an answer.
They were on the Hogwarts Express and were sharing a compartment. For some reason, Eriol was not with them. He mumbled something about a Professor McGonagal and a prefect.
"For your first question, Sakura, Hogwarts is a school for magic. They teach wizards and witches how to use their powers to the fullest. In Hogwarts, students are required to wear simple black robes," Draco said, motioning to his own robe, "That is the answer to your second question. Now for your third question, ask Xiao Lang to answer it."
Syaoran turned red and looked away from Sakura. This made Tomoyo and Draco laugh.
"Draco-kun, even though Sakura-chan and Li-kun professed their love for each other, they still act like this," Tomoyo told Draco. "Wait until you hear how they told each other. For some reason, they only admit their feelings when they are about to die."
"Mou, Tomoyo-chan. Not now," begged Sakura who turned bright red. "I want to know about Syaoran-kun and Draco-san's relation."
"We're second cousins," Syaoran finally said. "His mother is the first cousin of my father. We met each other right before I went to Japan. We grew quite close then because I was hiding from Meilin, and he was hiding from Grab and Doyle."
Draco laughed outright. "Crabbe and Goyle actually. My father ordered me to stay close to the two idiots."
Sakura seemed satisfied and leaned her head on Syaoran's shoulder. Syaoran turned red again and looked out of the window, ignoring the smirks of his other companions. Silence reigned for a while until Sakura remembered a question she has been meaning to ask.
"So . . . how did you get to know Draco-san, Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo grinned and looked at Draco as if asking permission to tell the tale. He nodded and grinned as well. The two looked at each other as if enjoying a private joke.
"Do you remember the time when we were eight and I spent the summer in England?" Tomoyo asked the other girl. Sakura nodded and urged her to continue. "Mother had a buisness thing with Draco's father and I was forced to be with Draco," she said, stressing the word "forced."
Draco looked mock insulted and decided to take the task of story-telling into his own hands. "She didn't like me at first because I was . . ."
"a boy"
"Let me finish the tale, Tomoyo," Draco said, putting a hand upon Tomoyo's mouth to keep her from interupting him again. "As I was saying, she didn't like me because I was a boy. I didn't like her either, but in the end, we got along and were as close as siblings."
"He told me that I had to call him "big brother" because he was months older than I am."
"Right."
Sakura giggled and looked at Syaoran who looked at her in confusion. "What?"
"Where's Eriol-kun?"
Syaoran crossed his hands and looked annoyed. "I do not know where the evil reincarnation of Clow Reed is."
"Clow Reed?" Draco asked. He knows all about the most powerful sorcerer in the wizarding world, but didn't know about Eriol.
The other three told him all about what happened in Tomoeda, taking up the time of the entire trip. Draco was thoroughly amused by their whole escapade.
Author's note . . .
