Hey. This is a very short chappie, sorry about that. But I couldn't make it longer, or else I'd screw it up. Sorry. Anyways, prepare for a shock. Or maybe not. Sorry, I'm tired, so I'm rambling.
Thanks for the reviews.
Disclaimer- I don't *yawn* own either Harry *yawn* Potter *yawn* or CCS. They both belong to people a little less *yawn* tired that I *yawn* am. (did you know that it's terribly sad that you can yawn simply by reading the word?)
Chapter Nineteen-
Everyone looked to Harry.
"Are you sure?" Naoko asked, looking at her love, concerned.
Harry nodded. "Very sure."
Meiling grinned, her eyes lighting at the prospect of a challenge. "Let's go rid your wizarding world of him." She suggested.
Clow and Eve looked at each other, then wordlessly, they embraced their children.
"We shall return on your birthday." Eve said gently to Sakura and Yuri.
"You must stop this Voldemort and stop those twins. To do that, you shall need our reincarnates, not us." Clow said just as gently, embracing his daughters one last time.
"Goodbye." They both said, before becoming engulfed in light.
The light split into four different colours and took on human shapes. When the glowing subsided, before the group stood Tomoyo, Eriol, Nadeshiko and Fujitaka, returned to the way they were before the merge.
"You know, as much as I liked seeing Mother and Papa, it's good to have you back again." Yuri said, before changing her wand into her staff. With the change, Nerina and Riara returned to their false forms.
Sakura copied her sister, and watched as Yue and Keroberus returned to their false forms, and then they all translocated themselves outside of the castle, to where all the students of Hogwarts stood, watching Voldemort and his Death-Eaters approach.
Dumbledore was shocked when he saw that in front of him had appeared the new exchange students, and the two new teachers, as well as one of the teacher's aids.
Suddenly there was a surge from behind him and out ran Nakuru, the second teacher's aid, with a little stuffed black cat in her arms.
"Master. I am sorry I am late Master." Nakuru apologised to Eriol, causing Dumbledore's jaw to drop.
Voldemort smirked at the group in front of him, noticing that Harry was part of them. "So, Dumbledore will not face me and instead sends children to do his work." He laughed his cold, high-pitched laugh. He was shocked though when the children before him started laughing too.
"Dumbledore didn't send us Voldemort." Harry spat, enjoying the look on his enemy's face.
Dumbledore gasped. "Harry, stop. Come back here where you all can be protected."
This sent the group into peals of laughter, causing mass confusion.
"How many times must we repeat this?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo grinned. "Until they finally accept it, Sakura chan."
"Do not underestimate us." Meiling said, sparing the twins from having to say it again.
"What can you do? You are all just children." Voldemort sneered.
"Do not mistake us for mere children Voldemort." Eriol warned.
"We are not children." Jamie added.
Syaoran was staring at Voldemort and he sighed. "This is pathetic. He is pathetic. That is what causes the entire wizarding world to tremble at the knees. Sakura could have beaten him when she first started." Syaoran then looked to Harry. "No wonder you're famous. He tried a wizard spell on you?"
"Yeah, he did." Harry said, knowing what Syaoran was insinuating. "He is rather pathetic, isn't he?"
Voldemort was furious and in his rage he ordered one of his Death-Eaters to kill Harry. "Wormtail, kill Potter."
A man stepped forward and raised his wand. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" He cried, pointing his wand at Harry.
As the deadly curse raced towards Harry, Hermione, who was near the front, saw that Harry was making no effort to get out of its way, or try to protect himself. Rushing forward, she threw herself in front of Harry and waited for death.
Surprisingly, it never came. Hermione opened her eyes at the sounds of shock. In front of her stood one of the exchange students, the one who she had first fought with, the one with glasses.
Naoko turned to look at Hermione. "Granger, as much as you get on my nerves, you're Harry's friend and I can't let you die. That was pretty brave what you did, but from now on, please refrain from any heroics." Naoko smiled at Harry, as he led Hermione back to Ron, who embraced her.
"What were you doing?" He asked, his voice shaking.
Hermione was still shocked. "What happened?"
Ron looked at her, amazed. "You mean you didn't see?" At her negative reply, Ron told her what had happened. Before the spell had hit her, Naoko had calmly walked in front of the deadly spell and it hit her, full force. Naoko didn't have time to even try to counter it, yet somehow she survived.
Erin looked to Naoko. "Are you okay?" She asked.
Naoko smiled. "I'm fine, and so is my gown."
Tomoyo and Erin gave sighs of relief.
Touya raised an eyebrow. "Are those sighs of relief over the fact that Naoko is okay, or because her gown is?"
Yukito grinned at the thoughtful looks on their faces. "They're actually considering it."
Erin looked back to Touya. "I knew Naoko wouldn't get hurt, so my sigh is over the gown. Who knows how long she worked on it."
Tomoyo smiled. "She worked on that one for about three days, determined to get it perfect."
Everyone else were watching the group like they were crazy. There were having a calm conversation in front of the most dangerous wizard in the world.
Yuri glared up at Voldemort, sensing that some of the Akai twins' energy was in him, causing the growth in his usual non-existent aura.
"You shall pay the ultimate price for allying yourself with the Akai twins." Yuri said, concentrating her energy.
Sakura looked at Voldemort with hatred in her eyes. "You mean that he is the one that they went in search for?"
Yuri nodded. "He led them to the Dark Forbidden Magic. It shall surface soon. Can you not feel it?"
Sakura nodded this time. "We must double our training then."
Voldemort gasped, eyeing the sisters. "You are the ones that the Akai twins are looking for! Then that means…." What Voldemort was saying was cut off as a blast of dark energy hit him, killing him instantly.
Yuri immediately stopped concentrating her energy and stood on guard, recognising that aura.
Suddenly, both she and Sakura had a flash of insight and both of them pulled out a card.
"Shield Card!
Protect the students of Hogwarts!
Shield!"
There was a flash of pink light as two shields encompassed the entire student body, as well as the teachers.
Just as the shield was up, there came twin blasts of dark energy, both being repelled by the shield.
Erin, Yukito, Nakuru, Riara, Kero and Suppi all stiffened then changed into their true forms to protect their mistresses or master.
"So, it seems that you two are Mistresses of the Cards." A cold voice echoed.
Yuri's eyes narrowed. "Garthra." She spat, her eyes searching, as she inched closer to Sakura, intent on protecting her.
"You both have become even more powerful than we thought. You two shall make fine brides." A second cold voice claimed.
Sakura's eyes glowed with hatred. "Darva" She moved closer to Yuri, wanting to protect her. "Haven't you two already figured it out? We love our soul mates."
There was a cold laugh as someone appeared out of the shadows. He was tall and he wore a cape. He had dark red eyes and a black aura.
"Garthra." Sakura said with disdain, not noticing how close Garthra was to Syaoran. She looked at him "You haven't changed at all. Still as evil and as twisted as ever."
Garthra laughed, inching closer to Syaoran. "And you my dear, have grown even lovelier." He smirked, his hand glowing darkly. "Will you look stunning in your pain, though?" He asked, throwing a ball of dark energy at Syaoran, causing him to cry out and fall to the ground, dead.
"SYAORAN!!" Sakura cried, as she stared numbly at her dead love.
