*Okies, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in so long. I've had a major
case of writer's block with this story. I graduated eighth grade May 15,
and it seems that I've had a sudden stroke of creativity. In repayment for
taking so long, this chapter will be longer than the others.
On the upside, I've come to some decisions about the pairings. And yes, flattery *does* get you somewhere with me, as you might be able to tell from one of the pairings. And they are: Yue/Sakura (You knew this from the start.) Tomoyo/Eriol (You also knew this.) Meiling/???? (Still open for voting until chapter five.) Syaoran/Pearl Moon ::winks:: I now pronounce myself the Queen of Granting a Fans Wishes. Ice Princess, please contact me on how you want your character portrayed Harry/Ginny (you also knew this) Ron/???? (Still open for votes) Hermione/???? (Still open for votes.)
I don't believe that I've posted the ages of the CCS group yet, so here goes, and yes, I know that Syaoran's age is not accurate, but I'm the author, so Nyeh. Yue and Kero: Let's just say that they're OLD, but just don't look it. Sakura: 16 Meiling: 16 Tomoyo: 16 Syaoran: 17
Please vote for any pairings that you want, including for people not specified above.
Standard Disclaimers apply.

This chapter is dedicated to Ice Princess, for getting me off of my butt and back into story-writing mode.

Professor McGonagall brought a tattered old hat out and set it on a stool in front of the group. Sakura eyed the hat in confusion, wondering what that had to do with being sorted.
"All right, you, you just put the hat on and it'll tell us where to put you." McGonagall told them. There was an almost simultaneous blink from the Card Captor Group. All they had to do was try on a hat? Sakura was one of the first to get over the surprise; however, she had seen stranger things in her seventeen years. "Daidouji, Tomoyo." McGonagall called. It took Tomoyo a moment to realize that it was her who was being called. The English professor had pronounced her name very badly. She started forward and sat on the stool, placing the hat on her head.
/-/Let's see... a good mind, and a great deal of loyalty. your friends always come first, curiosity, a lot of that, caring, helpfulness, and sheer stubbornness are a large part of you.. Here's the kicker: willingness to do anything for your loved ones, even if in grave peril. That decides it./-/ "GRYFFINDOR!!!" A table on the right started clapping and cheering as Tomoyo took her seat.
"Kinomoto, Sakura." Was the name that McGonagall called next. Sakura sat on the stool, and cautiously pulled the hat on. It fell over her eyes.
/-/Well, you seem to be very strong, as far as magic goes, and very good at controlling yourself. Even if you are terrified of whatever danger you, and your friends, are in, you always find it in yourself to put on a front, stand up, and face that danger. And, for that matter, you seem to always pull through. You're not very logical, but very physical and quite perceptive to those around you. Your trust in your friends and family is unwavering, and your loyalty to them is astounding. I say you should be in./-/ "GRYFFINDOR!!!"
The table that Tomoyo was at applauded and cheered as Sakura sat next to her best friend.
"Li, Meiling."
/-/Well, here's a walking contradiction. You're fiercely protective of what you consider to be yours, quite ambitious, and a born fighter. You'd fight tooth and nail to defend you and yours, but once you win, you let 'yours' go their ways. At the same time, you're possessive, yet able, albeit reluctant, to let go. You don't forgive things easily, and never forgive the perpetrator of a heinous crime against you or your loved ones. You're not very trusting, but you grow to trust people based on good reasons. You're very self-reliant, but you cling to others at times, especially those who you consider 'yours'. Once you latch on to something or someone, you stick with it. You don't handle betrayal well, and you're always willing to stand up and fight alongside your friends./-/ "GRYFFINDOR!!!!"
Meiling slid in next to Tomoyo and Sakura to the sound of polite clapping, cheering, and a few catcalls, which all three girls had gotten.
"Li, Syaoran." Syaoran almost winced when he heard the mutilation of his name.
/-/Brave, very brave, that's for sure, but also very brash, you are. Impetuous and a bit hot-headed, you sometimes rush right into things without thinking about it. You don't trust people easily, but when you do, it is complete. Quite intelligent, too. You were once VERY ambitious, but after having it slapped in your face, you've learned humility. You are a bit stand-offish, but care deeply about your family and friends./-/ "GRYFFINDOR!!!" Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meiling smiled as he sat next across from them amid the applause.
After the sumptuous supper, the students headed to their Common Rooms and Dormitories, where The CCs group were shown to their dormitories.
Sakura followed Meiling and Tomoyo into their dormitory, where they found their beds by locating the trunks they had been required to bring. It was strange to them that they couldn't just use suitcases. They all turned as the door opened and a red-haired girl walked in. The girl seemed to catch their surprise, and smiled, approaching them.
"Hi. I'm Ginny Weasley. Having fun finding your way around Hogwarts?" The other girls introduced themselves.
"Well, actually, we've had a guide so far, so we haven't had too much trouble, though by the looks of it, we might, come tomorrow." Sakura explained. "Ummm. I'm kind of looking for a friend of mine, but I wouldn't know where to find him. Could you possibly help me out?"
"Do you mean the boy you guys were with?" Ginny asked. "'Cause if it's him, he'd be in the Seventh year boy's dormitory, and we're not supposed to go in the boy's dormitories, not that that actually stops us."
"No. The guy I'm looking for is named Yue, and he's not coming here as a student."
"Well, what kind of places does he like to hang out at?"
"Ummm. places that are high of the ground, that he can see the moon and stars from, and where there's ample room. He always hung around in the clock tower back at home."
"Well then, my guess would be that he's in the Astronomy Tower."
"Oh, gonna go find Yue? This late at night?" Tomoyo said, teasingly, as Meiling laughed.
"Shut up, you." Sakura scowled, but quickly grinned to show that she didn't mean it. At that moment, Sakura's first guardian chose to make his appearance.
"Sakura!!!" Kero called as he flew into the room, through the window. Ginny was surprised to see a stuffed animal fly and talk, but then, stranger things *had* happened.
"Oh, Ginny, this is Kero, one of my friends and guardians. Kero! You shouldn't surprise people like that!!"
"Well, I was visiting with Spinel Sun, and Eriol told me to tell you that he won't be coming here, after all, but will stay in London and keep in touch with you."
"Why that little." Meiling trailed off.
"Well, you deal with this, I'm gonna go find Yue. Ginny could you show me where the Astronomy Tower is?"
Several twists, turns and staircases later, they reached the tower and climbed yet even more steps. Sakura cracked the door open and saw that Yue was, indeed, there. Ginny, sensing Sakura's want to be alone with him, whispered that she would wait at the bottom of the stairs. Sakura walked in.
Well, Whatcha think? I know this took forever to get out, but please find it in your heart to forgive me. ::pouts:: Okay, I left this off where I did for a reason. I need to know if you want Sakura and Yue to get together in this story, or to already be together. It would be easier for me to make them already together, but hey, it's you guys that I'm trying to please. Oh, remember to re-read Chapter one, if you haven't already, 'cause I made some changes there. And as always, Review!!! Contact me!!
