KawaiiDragon82: Alrighty...just incase nobody knows, I don't like Sakura very much...but I still have her being the victim for all these crushes...so deal with me if I make a simple mistake! I like Meiling, she's kewl. So far, my fanfic has Sakura-loving and Meiling-bashing. You DON'T know how hard it is for me. -.-;; About the Malfoy question, maybe or maybe not. I have decided but I don't want to give it away.

Yami: And about the couplings question...?

KawaiiDragon82: Well...I don't want to say. If anyone wants me to say them, tell me on the review. I'll be glad to but I don't want to spoil it. On with the story!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ron was laughing richly as Meiling hung on Li's arm. She had no clue what Ron was laughing about. Li sighed and looked like he was going to kill Ron. "O-on to th-the shops...f-first one is the r-robe shop," Ron chuckled trying to contain his laughter. They entered the shop and Ron waited as Meiling sat down on a stool. Li, having no other place to sit, sat next to her. Ron waited, annoyed of the time they're losing. "Anytime now..." Ron said impatiently towards a man was gathering his measuring tape.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"If Harry, Ron, or especially Malfoy give you a bad impression of Hogwarts, just ignore them," Hermione said quickly. Sakura and Tomoyo giggled.

"Oh no, they're being quite courteous," Sakura said. Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"Ron? Harry? Malfoy? Courteous?" Hermione asked. Tomoyo looked a little confused too. She never thought of Malfoy as courteous but I guess he...oh no, it couldn't be true. Hermione shrugged. "Let's get the cauldrons first," Hermione said giving a little wave to a shop. Sakura nodded and followed Hermione. Tomoyo was behind them, as usual, filming Sakura. "Well now...this is the one!" Hermione said pointing at a brass cauldron. "Have any money?" Hermione asked.

"Uh...here," Sakura said handing Hermione some Yen.

"This is Muggle money..." Hermione said. Sakura gulped.

"I...I don't have any other money," Sakura stuttered.

"Not to worry, I have some spare and as a member of my dear family, Ma-..." said a voice.

"Malfoy??? You're...You're giving her money??? Your money???" Hermione asked astounded.

"Yes, quite indeed, now are you going to stand there like the Mudblood you are and keep babbling or what? I'm trying to do a deed here," he said. Herminoe was losing her temper.

"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not the only 'Mudblood'," Hermione said angrily. Malfoy looked at Sakura and Tomoyo.

"Well yes but you're more of a Mudblood than that one," he said pointing at Sakura. "At least she has some magical powers," Malfoy said. He took Sakura's hand and placed a few Galleons and Knuts in it. "Good day, my dear," he said with a smirk.

"Eh..." Sakura was also shocked. Someone who she hardly knew just gave her money.

"Oh but...I can't...get any..." Tomoyo said, a hand on her face looking fearful.

"Don't worry Tomoyo. I'll share," Sakura smiled. Tomoyo smiled back.

"Domo aragatou, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said with a squeal making Sakura sweatdrop.

"Good, you got money, let's go," Hermione butted in, saying in a meaner tone than her usual self. Sakura blinked.

"Oh...ok," she said quietly paying for her's and Tomoyo's cauldron. They left for the next shop, not uttering a word.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Alright now...you need a wand, right?" Harry said staring at a kid who looked exactly like him except with blue hair. Eriol gave a little nod and followed Harry. Harry gulped. To him, that Eriol kid was very strange.

"Ok, the shop owner will help you, I'll wait," Harry said introducing Eriol to the owner of the shop.

"Welcome, welcome, my boy," the old man said hastily. "If you don't know, in the magical world, the wand chooses his master. So let's go ahead and start," the man said. Eriol still hadn't said a word. The man kept handing him wands and as soon as Eriol held the, he took them away and muttered 'no, no' just as he had done to Harry.

"Ah, a perfect fitting wand," he finally said. Harry thanked the guy, and they were out looking for robes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Finally," Ron and Li said together letting out a deep breath. "Ack!" they screamed simultaneously. "Stop doing that!' they yelled at the same time again. Giving up, the sat down as far as apart as possible.

"Hey, what's up?" Hermione smiled at Ron as she, Sakura, and Tomoyo walked in them.

"You're late," Ron muttered. He turned to them and stared at Sakura, drooling a bit. "B-b-but I'm sure you had a good reason," he smiled in a goofy sort of way. Sakura giggled. This mad Hermione angry again.

"You wouldn't believe what happened to us while getting our stuff," Herminoe said sitting next to Ron and putting her arms around his neck trying to get his attention. Ron, still staring at Sakura just uttered a little word.

"What?" he said quietly. Hermione still looked hurt.

"Well...Malfoy handed Sakura some non-magical money today...and you know how much he hates Mudbloods," Herminoe said looking at the ground, blinking hard.

"Well, I'm sure he was entranced in her charm just as much as I am...I mean," Ron said shaking out of the trance. Hermione, by now, had gotten her arms off him.

"Ron, why I-..." Hermione said getting cut off.

"Ron! Hermione!" Harry shouted rushing over to them. Eriol walked slowly. "That kid is a real weird one," Harry whispered before Eriol could hear.

"Harry, don't be so mean. They're only new. Be like Ron, and take an interest in them," Hermione said scowling at Ron making him blush. Harry was confused at that statement.

"Well, we have all our things now, I wouldn't mind going back home," Sakura said politely.

"Oh course!" Harry and Ron said at the same time. "Anything for you," the added. Hermione felt very hurt now.

"What's wrong with them? Even if Harry liked Sakura, he doesn't SHOW it...he's that shy type of guy...and Ron...he said, he said he'd never..." Hermione thought but stopped feeling like she was about to cry.

"The sooner the better," Hermione added softly.

"I can't wait for school to start," Meiling said, still hugging Li.

"I can..." Hermione sighed quietly. As Sakura, Tomoyo, Li, and Meiling waved their good-byes, Hermione stayed silent. Eriol, having his intellectual personality, also didn't say a word.

"They sure were a bunch of nice little folks," Harry said with a smile.

"Yeah," Ron agreed, Sakura still in his thoughts.

"I'd rather not have met them..." Hermione mumbled.

"Say something, Hermione?" Ron asked. Hermione looked very very very mad now. She stomped off back into the Muggle world where her parents where waiting for her leaving Ron and Harry confused.

"I wonder what that was all about," Ron said. Harry had a feeling but decided not to answer Ron's question. He just shrugged.

"I better get back now," Harry said. "I...I think the Dursley's will be outraged," Harry said managing to let out a fake chuckle. Ron nodded.

"Me too, I was 'spose to go back with Fred, George, and Ginny. Mum'll be mad," he said. He started off just as Harry did.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ron, how could you?" Hermione cried on her bed. "You said you'd never love anyone else," she continued. "And you Harry, you would never be so confrontational like you just were," Herminoe said. She sat up and started to ponder. "It's...it's a trick," Hermione said to forget about it. Of course, when she had said that, she didn't mean it. It was for feeling better. "Someone cast a spell on them...and Malfoy too," Hermione added. As soon as those words left her mouth, she was thinking about that more and more.
