*~*Chapter 5: On the Team*~*
Syaoran couldn't sleep. He kept tossing and turning. He didn't sleep well in a strange bed. He glanced at his watch and groaned. It was only 5:00 in the morning. Syaoran quietly dressed and walked down to the common room where, to his surprize, he found Sakura. "Sakura?" She jumped and turned around.
"Oh! It's you, Syaoran. Don't scare me like that!!" He grinned at her.
"Well, you never wake up this early. As I recall, it was YOU who would always be late getting up in the morning and just barely making it to class. Hey, what are you doing?" he asked, looking over her shoulder.
"Hn? Oh, this. I'm writing a letter to all the people back in Tomoeda. Tomoyo, Oto-san, and Toya. *sigh* I miss them already..." Kero was sitting on the table, eatting leftovers from the feast.
"Home-sick already, Sakura? Wow. You have only been away for two days and you want to go home already??" Sakura blushed.
"I just have never been this far away from them, that's all. Anyway, it's not like I'm alone here, right? I have you, Kero.And you, Syaoran. And Eriol, Yuki and Nakuru."
"Yah, why is Yuki and Nakuru here anyway? I know Eriol brought Spinal-sun, but I thought he wanted Nakuru to stay home. I thought Yueh was staying as well. Did he tell you about anything, Kero?" Syaoran asked.
"Not that I know of, gaki." Syaoran glared at the stuffed animal. "He didn't say anything to me." Sakura just shruged.
"I'll just ask him after class. I have him today. He probibly just forgot to tell us." she said. "Ah! Done! Now I need to go find the Owlery. Anyone know where that is?" Kero and Syaoran just stared. "You mean no one knows where it is?!? Ahh!! How am I going to get this letter to them??"
"I know where the Owlery is. I can show you, but it's a bit early." Sakura and Syaoran turned shaply.
"H-Harry? I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" Harry yawned.
"Well, you kinda did. This your stuffed animal?" he asked, holding Kero up. Sakura and Syaoran got sweat drops.
"Yah! He's mine! His name is Kero, you like him?" Harry turned the animal over.
"A bit weird looking, don't you think?"
"Watch it, gaki." Kero mumbled. Sakura quickly grabbed Kero from Harry.
"Ah hehe....um, ah, why is it too early?" Harry was still looking at Sakura with a puzzled expresion, but answered.
"Um, because it's not open yet. They don't want students wandering the halls at night. Actually, I'm supposed to go to a Quidditch practice soon. I can show you the Owlery before I go. Ok?"
"Hai, yes. That will be fine." she said. Harry nodded and ran off to put his uniform on. Syaoran watched Harry.
"Sakura? Do you know what Qudditch is?" Sakura shook her head. "How 'bout you, Kero?" Kero shrugged.
"Don't ask me, gaki." Syaoran growled.
"Stop calling me gaki, ok?"
"Hey, Syaoran, who you talking to?" Harry had returned, all dressed up in his red Gryffindor uniform. Syaoran blushed and mumbled that he wasn't talking to anyone. "Well, anyway, we better get going. I need to meet everyone at the field." He swung his Firebolt over his shoulder and started to walk twards the portrait, followed by Sakura and Syaoran.
"Harry? May I ask what Quidditch is?" Sakura asked.
"Well, it's a major sport in the wizarding world. There are seven players to a team. They use broomsticks to fly around the arena. There are three Chasers who play with a red ball called the Quaffle. They try to get the Quaffle through one of the three goal posts. Every time they make it in, they earn ten points. Now, to keep the other team from scoring, you have a Keeper. He stays at the goal posts and tries to keep the other team from scoring."
"So, it's kinda like soccer, except on broomsticks and three goals?" Syaoran asked. Harry thought for a moment.
"Well, kind of. That part of the game is. But, there are two black balls called Bludgers that rocket around, trying to knock people off their brooms." Sakura looked horrified. "Don't worry. There are two Beaters on the team that prevent that from happening. Finally, there is one Seeker on each team. It's their job to catch the Golden Snitch before the other team's Seeker does. The Snitch is very fast and extreamly hard to see, but whoever's Seeker gets the Snitch first, earns their team an extra 150 points. So, they almost always win. And, the game doesn't end until the Snitch is caught. Oh, here's the Owlery." Sakura found Reed lurking near the window. Once Reed was off, the three friends headed out.
"Harry, could we by any chance watch you play?" asked Sakura. Harry just shrugged.
"I don't see why not. I'm not sure that we will be able to compete this year though. We are two players short. Our Keeper and one of our Chasers have graduated already and I don't know of anyone else who can ride a broom." Harry said with a sigh.
"Just too bad that Sakura and I don't know how to ride a broom. We would have joined the team." Syaoran said. Harry just sighed again. They turned the corner and walked out to the field, where the rest of the Gryffindor team was waiting.
"Hey, Harry! What took you so long?" Fred Weasley asked.
"Oh, just showing them where the Owlery was."
"Well, we need to find replacements soon. We're short two players and if we don't find them by the end of this week, we will be out of the running!!" George said. Katie Bell and Alicia Spinnet were thowing the Quaffle to eachother in the air.
"Hey! Who's going to be the new Team Captain?" Katie shouted.
"Well, I vote me as new Captain on the grounds that I'm the best Beater," George declaired.
"YOU?!? The best Beater? Don't make me laugh George! Everyone knows that I'm better than TWO of you!" Harry rolled his eyes.
"We are never going to get started at this rate." He glanced over at Sakura and Syaoran who were admiring his Firebolt. "You two look really interested in my broom," he said.
"Hey, do you think I could ride it Harry?" Sakura asked. Harry brushed the back of his head with his hand.
"I dunno. It can be dangerous if you don't know how to ride."
"Yah, Sakura. You might injure yourself," Syaoran told her. Sakura, stubborn as always, just shook her head.
"It can't be THAT much different from the Fly card."
"The what?" Sakura relized that she said to much and a light pink tinge appeared on her face.
"Ah, I mean, uh..." She was trying to think up a story quick. "I promise not to go that high, ok? Pleeeeeeease?" She put on a pouty face.
"Ah...alright. Just don't fly too high and be careful," Harry said as he handed over his broom. Sakura gave a squeal of joy as she jumped on the broom and zoomed off. She started to do corkscrews in the air and flew around the goal posts.
"Weeeeee!!!! This is fun!!!!!" Everyone was watching her as she passed by.
"I think we just found our new Chaser," Fred said. Syaoran, however, just watched in horror.
"She's going to hurt herself!" He grabbed Fred's broom and kicked off from the ground. Syaoran followed her as best he could. Fred's Cleansweep Seven's speed was no where near the Firebolts'.
"Hmm...They arn't half bad," Alicia said. " Hey! Sakura! Catch!" She thew the Quaffle in her hands as Sakura passed by. She caught it and headed for the goal posts.
"Hey, Syaoran! Let's see if you can block this!" She threw the Quaffle at the goal and it almost went in, except Syaoran did a backflip and hit it back to her. He grinned.
"Ok, Sakura. You've had your fun. Come on. Let's go." Sakura groaned but did as she was told. They both flew back to the others. Syaoran handed the Cleansweep Seven back to Fred. "Ah, sorry 'bout that. Hope I didn't damage it." Fred just gawked at him. Sakura handed back the Firebolt.
"Flying is really fun! Thanks for letting me borrow your broomstick, Harry," she said with a smile. Harry just stood there, speachless.
"Could you two, um, wait here for a moment? I need to discuse something with my team," Harry said. He dashed off and started whispering to his team mates. Sakura tilted her head.
"Wonder what they could be talking about. Do you think we did something wrong?" Syaoran just shrugged.
"Nice flying, Sakura. Especially since that was yor first time on a broomstick." Sakura and Syaoran turned in surprize.
"Eriol?? You saw me?" He smiled and nodded. She blushed and bit. He turned to Syaoran. "You arn't bad either. Great Keeper skills. You two would make great Qudditch players." They both turned bright shades of scarlet. Sakura saw Harry running over out of the corner of her eye.
"Oh, hey Eriol!" he said. He turned to Syaoran and Sakura. "Um, my team and I were discusing and we were wondering if you two might consider joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" he asked hopefully. They were lioned by the other team members.
"Yah!! Syaoran, you're just as good as Wood!!!"
"That was some awsome moves up there, Sakura! We could us a person like you!" Sakura and Syaoran glanced at eachother and grinned.
"Sure!" they said simultainiously.
"Wow! I can't beleve that we got on the team! This is really cool!" Sakura exclaimed. They had finished their Herbology class and were heading for Potions in the dungeons.
"I just hope that you two can stay out of danger, unlike someone I know," Ron said innocently, staring directly at Harry. Harry laughed sarcasticly.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny Ron. Just remember: I was the one who won us that victory in the third year!" Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to Sakura and Syaoran.
"I just don't understand them. I've been friends with those two since our first year, and you would think that I would know them as well. Right? But I still don't get them." Sakura laughed.
"How is Potions? It sounds like it will be alot of fun," Sakura asked.
"Oh, you better shove that idea out of your head, Sakura. Professor Snape is anything but fun. He is about as fun as a wet balloon," Ron exclaimed.
"Tough, is he?" Syaoran inquired. Ron nodded. Syaoran just smirked. "Bring him on."
