DISCLAIMER: I OWN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Standing in the line of first years made Syaoran and Sakura feel like babies, seeing as they were both a year ahead of the rest of these tiny children that stood all around them discussing the Sorting Ceremony.

"Yes, well maybe we will be moved on up to the second year anyways." Sakura was saying. "I mean we are supposed to be protecting Harry Potter, the kid from the train, from this evil villain guy, so it seems appropriate to be in his house and year, doesn't it?"

"That's what I would think." Syaoran shrugged as Professor McGonagall led them into the Great Hall.

Dumbledore stood up as they entered. He then motioned with a swift flick of his hand for Syaoran and Sakura to step forward in front of him, which they did only too happily.

"May I please introduce, Master Syaoran Li, head of the Li Clan, Master of the Elements, and most powerful sorcerer in the world at this given time?" Dumbledore announced. Syaoran courteously bowed to the people who were whispering.

("OMG, that's the Li Clan leader?" "Most powerful sorcerer in the world? Wow!")

"And may I also introduce Mistress Sakura Kinomoto, Mistress of the Star Cards and most powerful sorceress in the world." Sakura bowed and smiled at Syaoran.

'What an intro." She laughed.

Syaoran smiled at her too. 'Don't get too attached to this place, we'll only be here for a few months remember.'

'I know.' Sakura sighed as Dumbledore continued.

"They will be entering their second year at Hogwarts, and will be here for only a couple of months." Dumbledore explained to the people in the Great Hall, who were still oohing and ahhing over Syaoran and Sakura.

"Why are they here? And why are they only staying for a little while?" Draco Malfoy yelled out earnestly.

"They have some work to be done here at Hogwarts, which mostly includes protecting Hogwarts against Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore said. "Including the very few people who may also need extra protection." He winked at Harry Ron and Hermione, who sighed.

"That is all, now, Master Li, Miss Kinomoto; you may be seated at the Gryffindor table." Dumbledore said these words, and the Sorting Ceremony began.

When Syaoran and Sakura sat down next to Harry Ron and Hermione at the Gryffindor table, they were well aware that all the Gryffindor's were staring at them as if they were a ghost.

"Nice to meet you." Parvati Patil extended her hand to Syaoran, obviously flirting.

"Back off before you end up in the Headless Hunt!" Sakura snapped to Parvati angrily, making Parvati squeal nervously and Syaoran smile.

"Ooh, Parvati, you better stay away from Syaoran otherwise you'll have to answer to the wrath of the Card Mistress." Lavender cooed jokingly.

Just then Syaoran felt something and looked at Sakura. "Close your eyes." He told her.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"Just close your eyes!" Syaoran said hurriedly.

But it was too late, Nearly Headless Nick floated up through the table in front of Sakura and she screamed as she fell out of her seat.

"GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura shrieked covering her eyes.

Syaoran sighed. "Now you'll close your eyes." He muttered before walking over to Sakura and extending his hand, which she took.

"Xiao Lang, get rid of it, get RID OF IT!!!" she was screeching.

"Sakura, Sakura-chan, it's only a ghost don't be so paranoid."

"I'll never sleep tonight now!" Sakura was crying. "I'll have nightmares!"

"Sakura, you won't have nightmares. At least I hope you won't, I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night."

Nearly Headless Nick left, realizing that she was scared at him.

"You mean I can't wake you if I have a nightmare?" Sakura asked. "How rude!"

Syaoran sighed. "Remember the rules against girls being in the boys dormitories?" he asked.

"What kind of a stupid rule is that?!" Sakura said angrily as Syaoran did that sweat droplet thing that they always do.

"Why didn't you tell me about the ghost?" Sakura asked. "What good is having a boyfriend who can sense the one thing that I'm afraid of, if he doesn't even tell me when he does sense it?"

"I told you to close your eyes." Syaoran said pointedly.

"Oh, right." Sakura muttered.

"You good now?" Syaoran asked.

"Yup, bring on the food!"
