Chapter Thirteen-
Up in the Gryffindor common room, Eriol was frantically motioning to Yuri, trying to convince her to return his ability to speak.
Yuri was giggling, while Sakura, Meiling, Tomoyo, Jamie and Naoko were laughing out loud. Syaoran was grinning evilly.
"Not much fun, is it you demented sorcerer? Now you know how I felt when you made me attack Sakura." Syaoran said.
Eriol glared at Syaoran.
"What is this, Eriol? You got my kawaii imouto chan's kawaii Syaoran kun to attack her? You in all the real sense attacked Sakura?!" Yuri asked, her eyes narrowing.
Eriol's eyes widened, and he waved his hands in front of him in a calming manner, as if he was saying that he didn't.
Yuri's eyes narrowed even more, but then they widened with the realisation of something. "Ooo. I just realised something. You can't break the spell. I thought you wanted me to remove it just because you were lazy. Now I know that you can't break it. The high and mighty Hiiragizawa can't break my spell."
Eriol blushed.
Sakura, taking pity on him, raised her wand and mumbled the counter spell.
Eriol smiled gratefully at Sakura. "Thanks Sakura. You were always the nicer one, and Clow's favourite." He said, looking to see how Yuri would take his teasing.
Unfortunately for him, Yuri took him seriously. Tears began to well in her eyes, and she raised her hand to dash them away.
Jamie looked at Yuri, then glared at Eriol. "Yuri…."
Yuri shook her head. She forced a cheerful smile onto her face. "Uh.. I'm going for a walk." She said, as she turned and left the common room in a rush.
Eriol looked shocked.
"Well done Hiiragizawa." Syaoran said coldly.
"I was only joking though." Eriol protested.
Sakura turned to glare at the person she just aided. "Eriol, Yuri is my twin. You know that, right?" Sakura waited for Eriol to nod. "Well then, can you remember when she went away for a few days when we where at her place?" Eriol nodded again. "Can you remember all the pain I went through because of her leaving? I couldn't sense her presence anymore. I felt so alone." Sakura shuddered, as Eriol nodded for a third time. "Imagine going through that pain for your entire life. Imagine every waking moment you feel as though you're all alone, even when surrounded by friends." Eriol looked dismayed. "Yuri has known about all of us since she was born. I didn't remember. I didn't feel that pain. Yuri has felt that kind of pain for sixteen years, and what do you do?!" Sakura's voice was rising. "You go and say that Clow favoured me. She had barely gotten what she considered her family back, then you go and say that!" Flames began to form in front of Sakura's eyes.
The others, seeing the flames, took a step back. Eriol, though, was trapped by her furious gaze, like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.
"How would you feel if you couldn't sense Tomoyo anymore?"
Eriol, finally understanding, looked horrified.
"That is what you have done to my sister, Hiiragizawa." Sakura said softly, making the others gasp as she called him by his surname. "I'd look for Yuri, but I know that's pointless, so I suggest we get some sleep." And with that, Sakura began to walk towards her dormitory. Abruptly though, she was stopped by a mass of Gryffindors wishing to see their magic.
The flames retuned to Sakura's eyes as people began to pester her.
"ENOUGH!" She cried. "You shall all get a demonstration when I feel like showing you one. That time may never come. Now quit pestering me." The mass of people before her stood shocked at her outburst, but when she began to walk towards them, they parted in waves, giving her a clear way to her dorm.
Tomoyo stared at Sakura. "Never, have I seen her act like this before." Tomoyo continued to watch Sakura's back as she walked up the stairs and out of sight. She then looked at Eriol who was looking disgusted. "Who's that look for?" She asked
"Myself. I can't believe I did that. I hope I can talk to Yuri before she goes to bed." Eriol said softly.
"Is Hiiragizawa going to apologise?" Syaoran asked snidely.
Eriol nodded, not answering Syaoran. "You all better get to sleep. I'm used to nights without it."
The others did as he said, and walked up to their dorms.
Eriol sat back in his seat and waited.
Yuri sat at the top of some tower, tears running down her face.
"I don't know why I let that bother me. I realise now that Eriol was kidding, but it still hurts. I know that otou san loved all of us equally, but still."
Yuri wiped her eyes and stood. "I better get back. I was going to go flying, but I think that that will tire me out, and I don't need that the day before school starts."
Yuri then left the tower and found her way back to the Gryffindor tower. Once she got inside, she was surprised to find that everyone had gone to bed.
"Guess it was later than I thought." Yuri murmured to herself.
"You've been out for more than three hours." A voice came from a seat in front of the fire.
"E… I mean, Hiiragizawa?" Yuri asked, her tone going cold.
Eriol stepped out from the seat. "Hello Yuri." He said softly.
Yuri glared at him.
"Uh… I guess I deserve your silence and your anger." Eriol began.
Yuri's eyes seemed to grow colder.
Eriol began to look uncomfortable. "Uh, Yuri, this is going to be hard for me. I have never done anything like this in my entire two lives. I…. I wanted… I wanted to sa…." Eriol broke off, then tried again. "I'msorry."
Yuri looked at Eriol, shock in her eyes.
"I don't like it when you're upset because me. I can remember when you would get upset at Clow for something, and he'd feel so guilty that he'd practically beg just to see you smile again. I feel the same now. If I have to, I will b….be….beg" The last word was uttered softly.
Yuri was astounded. The great Eriol Hiiragizawa was apologising and was saying that he'd beg to see a smile from her. Yuri thought about it, and decided that Eriol was sincere.
"It's ok Eriol. I realised that you were only kidding, but it still hurt" Yuri said softly.
"So you forgive me?" Eriol asked, anxiously.
"Yes."
Eriol breathed a sigh of relief. Then he frowned. "You'd better tell your sister that. She went ballistic at me before."
Yuri turned to walk up the stairs, stopping only once to say 'Good night' to Eriol and to tell him that she would speak with Sakura.
She walked into her dorm and saw that Sakura had sat up straight as she had walked in through the door.
"Hey Yuri, you ok?" She asked softly.
"Yeah Sakura. I am." Yuri walked over to her bed, which was next to Sakura's. "Eriol was waiting for me downstairs and he apologised. He almost begged."
Sakura gasped at the thought of the proud sorcerer begging. "And did you forgive him?"
"Of course. He also wants me to tell you that you have no need to be angry at him any more."
Sakura blushed. "I couldn't help it."
Yuri giggled. "That's ok." She then yawned. "We'd better get to sleep."
And with that, the twins fell asleep.
The next morning, Naoko awoke to hear shouting coming from the common room. Quickly dressing, she rushed downstairs to find that most of the Gryffindor students were awake and were crowding around something. Pushing her way through the crowd, she soon found Eriol, Meiling and Tomoyo. Meiling and Eriol were cheering for someone, while Tomoyo was taping the whole thing. Naoko turned to see that in the middle of the crowd, Sakura and Yuri were sparing against Syaoran and Jamie.
"Go Sakura and Yuri!" Meiling cried. "Beat them good."
Naoko smiled at the encouragement in Meiling's voice. She then heard another voice, who wasn't so encouraging.
"What are they doing? Don't they know that they could get seriously hurt?" A shrill voice asked.
Naoko turned to see Hermione asking Ron and Harry that question. Ron and Harry shrugged. They didn't understand what was going on.
"They're not going to get hurt." Naoko said, blushing slightly as Harry looked at her.
"How do you know? Any bet you have no idea what they are doing." Hermione asked, her voice shrill, but there was something else in it, there was a hint of smugness .
Naoko glared. She had known these people since they were little, or at least she had known Yuri and Sakura when they were little in their past life.
Yuri turned, feeling Naoko's aura turn slightly dark with anger. She was shocked to see Naoko, calm sweet Naoko, glaring at the girl that they had met yesterday. Yuri then motioned to Sakura, Jamie and Syaoran to have a look.
The group immediately stopped what they were doing to go see what was wrong with their friend.
"Ohayo Naoko!" Sakura chirped happily.
"Chill Naoko." Yuri said softly.
"Ohayo Sakura." Naoko replied to Sakura, as she continued to glare at Hermione.
Yuri placed a calming hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry Naoko. Let's go have breakfast."
Naoko nodded, then lead the way out of the tower.
Before they got out of the tower though, voices could be heard coming from their dorm.
"I said I was going to get you! And Yuri said I could." A feminine voice cried.
"Ouch! That hurt! Why did…." A second voice whined, but was abruptly cut off by the first.
"Yuri! Don't leave me with him and his incessant whining!"
"WHINING?! I'll have you know that a Gu…." The rest of this sentence was muffled by something.
"You BAKA! That is supposed to be a secret, remember?!"
"Oops. Sakura! You better bring me back some pudding!"
Sakura and Yuri glanced at each other, while Eriol grinned.
"That's why I like Spinnel. So quiet." He said smugly.
Suddenly there was another yell.
"MASTER!!! Don't leave me with them! They'll plot something evil. They're as bad as Na…." This too was muffled.
Sakura and Yuri looked at Eriol who was now blushing.
"QUIET! You'll give us away!" Came the second voice that spoke.
The first voice snorted. "I think we already managed to alert everyone in the entire house of our presence, bakamono. I'm sorry Yuri. I forgot for a moment. I'll stay quiet from now on. I'll also protect Sakura's precious bakamono from Momoyuki."
Yuri simply shook her head, then turned to face the students who were looking up the stairs in amazement.
"Here's the rules. Everyone stay out of our dorm. Do not even try to find where those voices came from."
Yuri then walked out of the tower, followed by the others.
Down in the Great Hall, Sakura and the others ignored the looks that they were receiving from the rest of their house.
"Students, as you eat, the Head of your House will pass out your timetables." Professor Dumbledore said, as the students ate breakfast.
Sakura and the others eagerly looked at their timetables, but after hearing Ron groan, Sakura turned to ask what was wrong.
"It's just that we have Double Potions first with Slytherin again." Ron moaned.
"And what's wrong with that?" Meiling asked, curious.
"The professor who teaches Potions hates all Gryffindors and is the Head of Slytherin. He favours them." Harry explained.
"And also, the Slytherins hate us too." Hermione added.
"Who's in Slytherin?" Naoko asked.
"Malfoy for one." Harry answered darkly.
Syaoran and Jamie began to scowl at this.
"If he tries anything, he'll be sorry." Syaoran growled out.
Hermione looked shocked. "You can't go breaking the rules, and besides, he probably knows a lot more magic than you. His father is a Death Eater and has probably taught him dark magic."
Syaoran smirked. "That doesn't worry me."
Hermione was about to argue more when Yuri cried out happily.
"We also have Double Defence Against The Dark Arts and the we have Double Types Of Magic."
"That means we get to work with Yukito and Erin!" Tomoyo said happily.
Sakura grinned, then she frowned. "And Touya."
"What's the matter, Sakura? Do you think your Oni chan is going to annoy you?" Eriol asked, grinning.
Sakura nodded. "I know he is."
"He's going to annoy us both, Sakura." Yuri said.
Jamie and Syaoran both walked up to them, and placed a comforting hand on their shoulders.
Suddenly there was a yell. "Get away from my imoutos!" A figure rushed across the hall. "Gaki! Twerp! Stay away from them!" Touya had ran from the teacher's table and was now standing behind them, looking angry.
"TOUYA!" Both Yuri and Sakura cried.
Touya wasn't really paying attention as he tried to glare at Syaoran and Jamie at the same time. "Kaijuu, Squirt, you stay away from th….. OW!!!" Touya cried, attempting to hold both of his feet at once, since Sakura and Yuri had stepped on a foot each at hearing the names he called them.
"Touya! Didn't you learn not to call me a Kaijuu?" Sakura asked angrily.
"And what gives you the right to call me Squirt?" Yuri demanded angrily.
Suddenly there was another yell from across the hall. "Touya!" Someone screamed as they rushed across the hall as a dark blur.
Touya fell to the floor, finding it impossible to stand, while massaging both his feet and having something hanging from his neck.
"Hiiragizawa!" Touya cried angrily, trying to break free of Nakuru's grip.
"Uh… Nakuru, I think you'd better let Touya go. Someone is getting really angry." Tomoyo said, glancing at Meiling.
Meiling was glaring at Nakuru. She knew that there was nothing between those two, and that she and Touya were meant to be, but still, she still got jealous.
"Eriol, if you want to continue having a moon guardian, I suggest you tell her to get off my Touya." Meiling said, her voice deadly soft.
Eriol gulped. He had never seen Meiling so angry, not even when Sakura got close to Syaoran. "Nakuru, that's enough. Aren't you supposed to be a assistant teacher?"
Nakuru pouted for a bit, but let go of Touya. She then walked back to the teacher's table where she got a dark look from Erin.
"And Touya, I think you need to stop being so protective. You know that Sakura and Yuri can take care of themselves." Eriol said, his voice deepening.
Touya blushed, then walked back to the teacher's table, turning every now and then to glare at Syaoran and Jamie. Once at the table, Yukito sent him a dark look.
Sakura and Yuri sighed. First day of school and how many spectacles were made? They sat back down, and the others followed.
Dumbledore stood again, laughter evident in his voice and eyes. "Well, that certainly was a surprising first morning. I hope you all enjoy your classes."
In the dungeons, where Potions was taught, Sakura was attempting to ignore Malfoy.
Yuri stood up and walked over to him. "You had a warning before Malfoy. Leave Sakura alone if you wish to stay in good health."
Malfoy sneered at her. "Like you could do anything."
Yuri simply smirked. "You have no idea what I, or the others here could do to you. I suggest you take heed of this warning, or there may not be too many in the future." She then went back to her seat, noticing the looks she was receiving from the other Slytherin students.
Suddenly the door burst open and in walked Professor Snape.
"Everyone be quite and take your seats." He said softly. He then turned to look at the latest arrivals to Gryffindor. He sneered. "Let's see if you foreigners know anything."
Syaoran, Jamie and Meiling took immediate offence to this and glared at Snape.
"You. Kinomoto." Snape said, looking at her.
"Yes Professor?" She asked innocently.
Snape looked taken back by Sakura's natural innocent nature. He then frowned. "What would I get if I mixed the blood of a unicorn with powdered scales of a Basilisk?"
Everyone stood shocked. How the hell would an exchange student know the answer to that question?
Sakura smiled sweetly, while Yuri smirked. Clow Reed and Evelyn had been very thorough in their tutorage. If it was magical, or basically anything else, Sakura and Yuri knew about it. Of course, they did have their bad subjects. Sakura absolutely hated Maths, and Yuri deplored Science, or at least most sciences.
"First of all, I'd commend you for getting scales from a live Basilisk. Their scales only possess magical qualities when they have come from the skin of a live Basilisk. Then I'd wonder how you got the unicorn blood. I mean, you'd have to have come across a fatally injured one, since it would be horrible if you killed it. Anyway, by mixing those two ingredients together you would get the most fatal poison known to the wizard kind. The Ultimate Death. The Ultimate Death can kill someone, if they ingest the poison, within 30 seconds." Sakura said, smiling as she noticed the amazed looks on the other students' faces.
Snape was dumbfounded. How could a student know about this? He was one of the few who knew how to make the poison.
"Oh, Professor?" Yuri asked, smirking.
"What?" Snape asked, still slightly amazed.
"Sakura forgot to mention that there has been only one record of anyone surviving the Ultimate Death. That person was Clow Reed. A enemy of his placed poison in his goblet of wine, but luckily, Clow survived, thanks to his wife, Eve, who found a cure to the poison. Unfortunately, all of Eve's notes on the poison are at her holiday home, but no one knows where that is. Clow managed to fight the poison while Eve looked for a cure."
This shocked the class even more. How did they know such things?
Snape was speechless. He was pretty sure he was the only one who knew that about Clow, so how could this girl tell him about it? She even informed him of things that he didn't know.
Snape spent the remainder of the class walking around in a daze, forgetting, in his bemusement, to take points from Gryffindor, or to scowl at Harry.
After the class was finished, Sakura and the others began to walk towards where they would have Defence Against The Dark Arts.
"How did you know that answer?" Ron asked Sakura, amazed.
"I just did." Sakura said smirking slightly.
Hermione sniffed. "There's no possible way of you just knowing that answer. I didn't know it, and I have read nearly every book about potions."
Naoko had had enough of Hermione's uppity attitude. First her saying that her friends would deliberately hurt each other, then acting like Naoko had no idea about her friends, now she was doubting that Sakura knew what she was talking about. "Have you ever read the books written by Clow Reed on Potions? Have you seen Evelyn's notes about the Ultimate Death?" She asked.
Hermione looked shocked, as did everyone else. "Of course not. Those books and notes are forever lost."
"That's what you think. Goes to show what you really know." Naoko said, before she walked off.
Everyone glanced at each other, then the cardcaptors gang followed Naoko.
Naoko sat silently in the room, waiting for Yukito to turn up. She didn't know why she felt she had to prove that Hermione didn't know everything, she just did. Naoko then thought of the boy who was always with Hermione, the one with the black hair and green eyes. 'I think his name was Harry.' She thought to herself. 'What is it about him that makes me think that I know him, or maybe I knew him!' Naoko thought. She then walked over to Sakura and Yuri who were grinning.
"I think she found us out." Yuri sang softly.
"I do agree." Sakura said, grinning even more.
"How long do you think we can put off this talk?" Yuri asked, giggling.
"Oh, well I don't think we shall start it any time soon, since Yukito will be arriving right about…..now." Sakura predicted.
She was right. As soon as she had said now, Professor Yukito Tsukishiro entered.
"Hello class, my name is Professor Tsukishiro, but I'm thinking for those who haven't got a firm grasp on the Japanese language may call me Professor Yukito." Yukito said with a grin.
Sakura giggled at this comment.
"Ok, so to start, I will have a name call. Instead of calling out names, and getting me confused, I want each person to stand and tell me their name."
The first and second row went, with Yukito nodding at each person. Then it was Sakura's turn.
"Ohayo Yukito san." Sakura said cheerfully, then she gasped. "Oops, I mean, Tsukishiro Sensei."
Yukito grinned. "I think it would be best if you and the others referred to me as Yukito san, seeing it would be too hard for you to remember that I am your sensei."
Harry placed a hand in the air. "Uhh… Professor Yukito, how do you know them?"
Yukito grinned. "Well, I've known Sakura and Yuri since they were little, and that applies for Tomoyo and Naoko. Meiling, Syaoran, Eriol and Jamie, well I met them a while back. And… Oh, oops." Yukito blushed, remembering something. "Oh damn. Your Oni chan is going to be very mad at me, Sakura."
Sakura looked shocked. "Oh no. Oni chan is not going to like the fact that he was ignored."
Yuri smirked. "But I know someone who could make that annoyance go away. Wouldn't it be soo kawaii?"
Sakura and Tomoyo grinned, agreeing, while Meiling blushed.
"Touya, you can come in now." Yukito called.
In walked a very mad Touya. "YUKITO! How could you leave me? Did you forget about me?"
Sakura and Yuri burst out laughing.
Touya glared at them. "What?"
Sakura stopped laughing to say. "So much like Kero chan." But then she proceeded to go into gales of laughter.
The other exchange students looked at Sakura and Yuri, then remembered what Kero had said on the train. They also noted on how much Touya and Kero hated each other, each believing that the other was in the way of protecting Sakura. They all burst out laughing too.
The other students stared at this. Man were the new students strange. Even Professor Yukito had joined in laughing with them.
The laughter soon stopped, and class was under way. There were no more interruptions.
It was lunch, and the gang was enjoying it, when there came a shriek. It seemed that Peeves had let himself into the Great Hall, even though he wasn't allowed. And, as luck would have it, the Bloody Baron was no where in sight.
Everyone jumped up and moved out of Peeves's way, everyone that is, except for the teachers and two students.
The cardcaptors gang, Touya and Yukito were all surprised to see that the only two students that hadn't moved were Sakura and Yuri.
Peeves stopped in front of the two sisters.
"What do I have here? Two new students. Don't you know you should run when around Peeves?" He asked in his annoying voice.
Yuri smirked and looked at her sister, who was smirking as well. They both looked up at the same time.
Peeves screamed.
"Don't you know Peeves, that it is awfully rude to interrupt someone when they are enjoying lunch?" Yuri asked calmly.
Peeves began to shake.
"It isn't wise to annoy us Peeves, surely you remember that." Sakura said, grinning.
Peeves shaking became uncontrollable, as the twins stood.
"You wouldn't want to make us mad now?" Yuri asked.
"Nnnoo." Peeves stuttered.
"Then I suggest you apologise to everyone, then take your leave." Sakura said calmly.
Peeves nodded, bowing before the two twins. "I'm terribly sorry for interrupting you lunch, your Ladyships."
Sakura and Yuri motioned to everyone else.
Peeves gulped. "And everyone else. Enjoy your lunch."
"Well done Peeves." Yuri said.
"We'll make you a gentleman yet Peeves." Sakura said, as Peeves flew out of the Hall.
Everyone was shocked. These two girls had more control over Peeves, than the Bloody Baron. What was up with them?
"Well, this has been quite an interesting lunch." Yuri said, moving away from the table.
"Yep. Why do we seem to cause all this commotion?" Sakura asked Yuri.
"I guess we are simply talented Cherry."
"Talented? Nice way of putting it, Lily. I never would of thought that Peeves would have remembered us though."
"I know. Not a very flattering reaction. Not every lady wishes to be screamed at."
"True, but I think we did warrant that reaction. I mean, we terrorised him mercilessly." Sakura said. "I believe lunch, for us at least, is done." She noted.
Yuri nodded, "Let's go get ready for Types of Magic." Yuri and Sakura grinned at Erin who grinned back. "I wonder what magic we shall learn about." Yuri said sarcastically.
"I know. I mean, wouldn't it be amazing if we learnt about Clow's magic."
Yuri giggled. "There's a subject I'm sure that us exchange students, plus someone else, who I am not going to mention as that would ruin all the fun, will excel at."
Sakura grinned as she looked at Naoko. "I think one of our dear friends wishes to have a word with us. Shall we go before she can?"
Yuri nodded.
The sisters then ran out of the hall, leaving a shocked silence behind.
Inside the classroom, Sakura and Yuri fell to the floor, their laughter overcoming them.
"The *gasp* looks on their *gasp* faces." Sakura said.
"I know. They *gasp* couldn't believe *gasp* it." Yuri replied.
While they sat there, laughing helplessly, the door opened and in walked Syaoran, Jamie, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meiling and Naoko.
Once the two sisters saw the looks on their faces, their laughter doubled.
Syaoran looked at Jamie who simply sighed. "They were like this once they played a really good trick on us, remember?"
Syaoran nodded. "They'll never change, will they?" he asked Jamie.
"I hope they don't." Jamie said, as he walked over to Yuri, picking her up in his arms, watching as Syaoran did the same to Sakura.
"KAWAII!" Two voices screamed.
Everyone looked to see that not only had Tomoyo brought out her camera, which still worked, but in the doorway stood Erin with her own video camera. They both had identical expressions.
"It figures that she would want to do this, seeing as she is Eve's creation." Yuri said, as she squirmed to get out of Jamie's arms. "The others will be coming soon."
Jamie reluctantly released Yuri, as did Syaoran.
They then took their seats and waited for the others to arrive.
The Gryffindors arrived first.
"Welcome. I am your teacher, Professor Hinata. We will wait only a few more minutes for the Slytherins, then I will start this lesson, regardless of who is here and who is not."
Five minutes passed and Yuri saw that Erin was getting very angry.
"Since the Slytherin students have made me wait five minutes for them, I shall start this lesson. Now, first things first. I like to get to know my students. Once I have enough respect for them, I allow them to call me by my first name, which is Erin. This may be our first lesson, but already there are some students who may call me Erin." Erin said.
Ron and Hermione looked at Harry, thinking that he was one of the students, since he was famous.
"Please stand when I say your name. Tomoyo, Eriol, Meiling, Jamie, Syaoran, Naoko, Sakura and Yuri."
"Hey Erin." Yuri said, smirking at the astonished looks on the others faces.
"Now you may sit. Now, I know it's the first day back, but I am going to set you an assignment, which will be due in when we have our next lesson. You will have to read some of your assignment out to the class. What you have to do is write at least a scroll and a half about a type of magic you know about. If you can't think of any, you may use today's lesson. Today we will be….." Erin broke off as the door opened and in walked the Slytherin group.
"Sorry Professor, we got lost." Malfoy sneered.
Erin began to frown.
"HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT TO USE THAT EXCUSE! YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR FOUR YEARS! YOU WOULD OF COURSE KNOW WHERE THIS ROOM IS CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT YOU PASS IT ON YOUR WAY TO THE GREAT HALL." Erin cried. The Slytherin students looked shocked. How could such a small teacher have such a big voice?
"There will be fifty points taken from Slytherin, and if any of you are late again without a note or proof from some professor that you had a reason for being late, you will receive a detention and will loose five points. Any questions?" Erin asked, daring someone to say something.
The Slytherin students shook their heads.
"Good. Now take your seats. At this rate, none of you students will be able to call me by my first name. Meiling, where was I?"
"You were telling us about our assignments due in tomorrow about a type of magic we know, Erin."
"Thank you Yuri. For those who arrived late, I had just finished explaining that you will be given an assignment about a type of magic you know today and it will be due in tomorrow. You will have to read some of it to the class. Now a warning. Don't you even think of trying to make a type of magic up, because I know of all of them. If you can't think of one, you may use today's lesson. Today we will be learning about the Clow Cards. Now, who knows anything about the Clow Cards?"
Not surprisingly, Hermione's hand was in the air. But it wasn't the first, to Harry and Ron's shock. No, Sakura, Syaoran, Meiling, Naoko, Jamie, Tomoyo, Eriol and Yuri all got their hands up before Hermione.
"Yes, Hermione?" Erin asked.
"The Clow Cards were created by a very powerful sorcerer, Clow Reed. He created two guardians to watch over them, Keroberos, the Guardian Beast of the Seal, and Yue, the Judge." Hermione said, looking smugly at the others who put their hands up. She lost that look though when they didn't put their hands down.
"Yes Naoko?"
"There are a total of 53 Clow Cards, each with their own special power and personality. If the cards were ever let loose on the earth, without a master," Naoko smirked at Sakura. "Or mistress, they would create havoc. The four element cards alone could create more chaos in a day then the one you all know as Voldemort could create in a year."
"Yes Sakura?"
"The Clow Cards draw their power from their master, like Clow Reed, even if he is dead."
"Well sort of dead." Yuri whispered, causing Syaoran to smirk.
Sakura continued to talk about the Clow Cards, not once revealing that she was the new mistress.
Once she had finished, it was a few minutes before the end of class. Erin said that they could talk, but quietly.
"Oh, I know that in this lesson we were meant to have a assistant teacher, Nakuru, but she found that she had something far more important to do. It had to do with feeding a certain stuffed animal any type of sweets she could get her hands on." Erin said, sending a look to Eriol.
Eriol groaned.
Yuri smirked. "You may have a quite sun guardian, but your moon guardian leaves something to be desired. Neither Erin nor Yukito would think of doing that." She said in Japanese.
"Yeah, and what possessed you to make Suppi react so badly to sweets?" Sakura asked.
Eriol simply groaned again.
"What are you doing Harry?" Sakura asked, giving up on talking to Eriol.
Harry shrugged. "I think I'll write about the Clow cards. I don't know of any other magic."
"Ron, Hermione?" Tomoyo asked.
"Clow Cards." They both said.
"What are you going to do, Syaoran?" Hermione asked him.
Syaoran smirked. "I'm going to do it on the Li Clan and its magic."
Hermione gasped. "How can you do that? The Li Clan is very private."
Syaoran smirked again. "I have my ways."
Yuri sent Syaoran a look. "You've been hanging around a certain person too much, Syaoran. Or as he would say it, Cute Little Descendant."
Syaoran narrowed his eyes in anger. "There is no way I am like that demented sorcerer. I swear, he's the reincarnate of the devil, not…"
Yuri sent him a look that silenced him.
"What are you doing, Eriol?" Yuri asked, before anyone could ask questions.
Eriol was scowling. "I'm going to do it about the Clow Cards."
"What are you doing Tomoyo, Meiling?" Ron asked.
"I'm going to do it about the ability to see into the spirit world." Meiling said.
"I'm doing mine about the Eve Cards. They're similar to the Clow Cards." Tomoyo said.
"Actually, they're almost identical. Eve and Clow made them at the same time. See, Eve was Clow's beloved wife." Yuri said with a smirk. "What are you doing, Sakura?"
Sakura looked at Yuri. "I'm going to do mine on star magic."
"What are you doing Naoko?" Harry asked.
Naoko blushed slightly. "I'm doing mine on Rainbow Falls, a place created by magic.
"What about you Jamie?" Hermione asked, sending him a glowing look.
Yuri glared at Hermione, while Jamie, placing a hand on Yuri's shoulder to calm her answered. "I'm doing mine on the magic possessed by Clow's family. Yuri, what are you doing?"
Yuri looked at her sister. "I'm doing mine about the forbidden light and dark magic."
Sakura looked down, while Syaoran tried to comfort her.
"I'm sorry Cherry, but I need to find out about it if we are going to stop that from happening again. Maybe if I write it down, I'll remember." Yuri said softly.
Eriol stood. "Come on, we'd better go. I need to make sure Suppi hasn't destroyed everything."
Yuri and Sakura grinned, their spirits lifting.
As they were walking out the door, Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl, pushed in front of them.
"I can't believe what a bitch that teacher was. I hate her." She whined.
Yuri's eyes narrowed hearing that. "Take that back." She said softly.
Pansy turned around. "What are you going to do about it?" She sneered.
Yuri smirked. It wasn't a very nice smirk. She simply flicked her hand in Pansy's direction.
Pansy screamed as she flew across the hall. She then found herself being lifted into the air and turned upside down.
Yuri's smirk turned nastier as she let Pansy drop to the ground. She then pointed at her and big warts began to show on her face.
"I didn't think it was possible, but now you're even uglier." Yuri said scathingly. One last glare at Pansy set her robes on fire.
Yuri walked away, and as a few holes appeared on her robes, Yuri waved her hand above her head, and the Pansy was soaked by water appearing above her head.
Hermione, Harry and Ron were shocked by what had happened. How the hell had Yuri managed that?
Hermione raced to catch up to Yuri. "How did you do that?" She asked breathlessly.
Yuri simply looked at Hermione. "Don't you know?"
Hermione shook her head.
"Then you don't deserve to know." Said Yuri, as she continued her walk up to the Gryffindor tower.
Sakura looked at Yuri, who was still angry. "I suggest, instead of going to the common room, we go and see Professor Dumbledore about finding a decent place to train. You need to get rid of your anger Yuri."
Yuri nodded. "Good idea, but first we have to check on Suppi and I want to place a spell on our room to stop people from entering it."
"Lock?" Jamie asked.
Yuri shook her head. "No, just a spell."
