The Key to her Heart

Chapter 3

"Sakura-chan, Li-kun, Daidouji-san," Eriol said breathlessly as he slid the door of the compartment. "Come with me up front as soon as Daidouji-san puts on the robe given to her. Hurry up. We're almost at Hogwarts."

"Hiiragizawa-kun, relax," said Tomoyo in a soothing voice. "I just have to put it on top of the clothes I'm wearing now. Why do we have to go up front?" she asked as she wore the long purple robe.

"Yes, why?" Syaoran echoed suspiciously.

"We can't join the other students," he said. "Explanations later." He then turned to Draco and smiled apologetically. "Sorry Draco, you have to spare me your cousin and friends." Draco nodded.

"Let's go," cried Sakura as she skipped out of the door.

As soon as the Hogwarts Express reached the school, the four foreigners were directed to the office of the Headmaster Dumbledore. Draco was, of course, curious, but still did what he enjoy doing every school year: he pissed Harry Potter off.

Each student went towards their respectable House tables and sat down chatting and wondering where the bright-eyed Headmaster was. Draco suspected that he was with Eriol and the other but did not say a thing. He was already occupied with staying away from Crabbe and Goyle.

The first years already entered and the sorting hat ceremony started, but Dumbledore was nowhere to be found. Everybody was anxious, hungry, annoyed and curious. Not even the professors seemed to know where the headmaster was.

After ten minutes of waiting silently, Dumbledore appeared and was smiling from ear to ear. Four teenagers followed him. The two females were wearing robes of pink and purple while the brown haired boy wore an odd green Chinese robe. The other boy was wearing an extremely weird robe of black and blue.

The only one who knew who these people were was Draco, who wisely decided to keep silent. The remaining students whispered amongst themselves.

"I'm delighted and honored to introduce these four new comers to Hogwarts," said Dumbledore looking at the four beside him. "These are Sakura Kinomoto, Xiao Lang Li, Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hiiragizawa."

The muggle-borns gasped when they heard the name Tomoyo. Tomoyo was quite well known as the daughter of Sonomi Daidouji, one of the richest and most successful businesswomen.

"Sakura Kinomoto is the new mistress of the Clow Cards, now called Sakura Cards. Xiao Lang is the heir to the throne of the Li Clan in Hong Kong, and Eriol Hiiragizawa is the reincarnation of Clow Reed."

This time the ones who were born in wizarding families were the ones to gasp. They know all about Clow Reed, the Li Clan and the Clow Cards. They were surprised to know that innocent looking Sakura was the mistress of those powerful cards.

"They will only join a few classes because their magical powers are quite different from yours. They will also need the quidditch field every morning. Understood?"

Everyone in the hall nodded silently and resumed staring at the four.

"Good. Now, Mr. Li will join the Slytherins, Ms. Kinimoto will join the Hufflepuffs, and both Ms. Daidouji and Mr. Hiiragizawa will join the Ravenclaws."

Cheers erupted from the three houses, dinner began and so did the school year.

"Li-kun, wake up!" cried an amused Tomoyo. Sakura and she were inside one of the boy's dormitories with four other half-naked men staring at them in horror. Sakura was busy yawning.

"Tomoyo, what are you doing here?" Draco half asked, half whined, covering himself with his blanket. "You're not allowed here."

"I wouldn't be here if he woke up," replied Tomoyo. "What's wrong with him anyway? He usually never sleeps."

One of the other boys grinned. "That's why we gave him a sleeping potion. He kept on murmuring last night."

"You did what?" Sakura shrieked, running beside her sleeping lover. "Syaoran-kun! Syaoran! Wake up!"

"Do you have any awakening potion?" Tomoyo asked patiently, eyeing the boy who told them what they did to Syaoran. When the boy shook his head, Tomoyo screamed in annoyance and ran out of the room leaving four bewildered boys to deal with a hyperventilating Sakura.

"Sakura, calm down," said Draco. "He's not dead."

"We have to train," Sakura answered.

"Train?"

She nodded and then grabbed the front of Draco's shirt. "I could kill you right now. Eriol will do something hard today and I'll fail if he isn't with me," she screamed and then let go of Draco's shirt to grab Syaoran's. "WAKE UP!"

"Sakura-chan, I'll fix it don't worry," a deep voice came from the door. Sakura turned around and saw a smiling Eriol being dragged by a fuming Tomoyo. Draco couldn't help laughing but the others with him looked at Clow Reed's reincarnation with fear.

Eriol took out the golden key he used the day before and placed it on top of Syaoran's head. He mumbled a chant in Latin and then all of a sudden Syaoran's body was surrounded by purple light. After a few seconds, Syaoran woke up with a start.

"What are you doing to me, Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran cried, putting his arms in front of his face for protection. He then noticed Sakura smiling happily and Tomoyo smirking. "What are they doing here?"

"Waking you up, sword-boy," Tomoyo answered sharply and pulled her best friend and Eriol out of the room. "Dress up, get your sword and meet us at the field." She slammed the door.

Syaoran quickly obeyed and grabbed a black orb tied to a string. He then recalled the events of the night and turned to his cousin scowling. He mouthed "I'll get you later," and followed his friends.

Draco decided from that time on that he has very odd and absurd relations.

"About time you got here, Li-kun," Tomoyo smirked and held her camera up to video Syaoran's red and sweaty face. "We have to finish quickly because the Gryffindor Quidditch Team will practice after." She looked at a bunch of people wearing scarlet robes and holding broomsticks on the stands.

Syaoran nodded and went to Sakura who was holding her pink wand. He turned the black orb into a sword and started stretching beside her. Sakura looked at the cards on her hands and then at Eriol as if trying to figure out what he has planned.

"Daidouji-san, if you can do the honors," said Eriol, smiling at the raven-haired girl who taped her two favorite people.

Tomoyo immediately put down the video camera she was holding and started to hum an ominous melody. A shield of silver materialized around the Quidditch field. The Gryffindors looked surprised and so did Draco, who decided to come out and watch them.

"I find out that I have the gift of sound just a few weeks ago, and now I have to create a barrier every time you torture Sakura-chan and Li-kun," she told Eriol.

"Not today," Eriol said with a smile. "You and I will team up against them. We'll see how they can handle both of us at the same time."

"Good," replied Tomoyo.

She saw Draco from the corner of her eye and told Eriol to wait. She made a small hole on the barrier she just created and went out to talk to her friend. After handing him the video camera and ordering him to film the battle, she went back in and smiled evilly.

Eriol turned the golden key into his staff and gave Tomoyo a temporary ability to fly by giving her the same butterfly wings that his guardian, Ruby Moon, had. He then pulled out a normal magic wand from his robe and placed it at the throat of Tomoyo.

"Sonorus" he said and quickly told Tomoyo not to speak.

He then plunged his staff into the ground and shouted "Geb." Out of the ground, a giant made out of rocks appeared. Eriol jumped on its shoulder and Tomoyo flew to the other. Syaoran and Sakura were surprised.

"I didn't know Tomoyo would fight us too . . ." gasped Sakura as she used the fly card. "Syaoran, what chances do we have of wining?"

"Right now, I don't know. We can defeat that rock thing, I think, but I'm not so sure about Tomoyo's abilities and Eriol's annoying magic powers," Syaoran sighed. "I think we should stay cautious of Tomoyo at the moment. Eriol has been teaching her how to use that irritating gift of hers. She made me trip a million times back in Tomoe-"

Their conversation was cut short by a loud high note from Tomoyo, which caused the ground to shake. This started off the training.

A/N: I couldn't resist giving Tomoyo the gift of sound. It's just so adorable.

The only classes that Sakura and Syaoran will have are the ones without the need for wands. That means potions, Divination, etc. Eriol and Tomoyo will be taking a little bit of everything so that Tomoyo's power will be better and so that Eriol could teach her new stuff.

I have to research a bit more for spells and such, and as soon as I find what I need, I'll write the next chapter.

Please review and tell me what you think. I might include some suggestions.

A/N: I keep on making so many mistakes. I am so sorry for uploading two Chapter 2's. I hope you like this one.

Ciao!
