Now on with the story,
The War Starts
It was the day before the dance and everyone was excited. Especially Tomoyo. Even though she worked in the hospital wing, she was jumpy and had to take a day off because Mme. Pomfrey wouldn't let her scare the patients with her exclaims of "YAY!!! I GET TO MAKE SAKURA-CHAN'S OUTFIT" or "ONLY 29 HOURS, 5 MINUTES, AND 18 SECONDS TO GO!!!! NOW 17 SECONDS, 16, 15, 14."
Meanwhile, in Snape's class, Snape was giving Sakura a lecture about cheating in class.
"There is, Ms. Kinomoto, a rule about cheating is there not? Now you may have had extraordinary teachings in your country, but here, we teach not to cheat" (this time, unlike last time, Sakura had actually been the only one who did it properly without cheating) Tears welled up in her eyes and she refused to argue any further.
Snape was about to proceed when there was a bang. Next to Sakura stood a furious Syaoran. The bang was his chair falling to the ground.
"DON'T YOU GET IT? SHE DID IT RIGHT WITHOUT CHEATING AND SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT!!!!" "that'll be enough. You may sit down mr. Li if you do not wish to get a punishment." Said Snape below a whisper. Syaoran was about to start, when he saw Sakura trying to get him to stop with pleading eyes. He sighed and sat down mumbling incoherent words.
After the last class, Sakura and Syaoran got ready to go to Hogsmeade for a night trip. Curfew would be later at 5am because it was a Friday and the dance was the next day. Everyone wanted to buy their gowns and stuff for the dance. Sakura and Syaoran agreed to meet in the courtyard to go to the main hall together. Dumb mistake. Because unknown to them, Malfoy was waiting for Sakura.
Sakura sat down on a bench and fiddled with her pendant. She sighed as she remembered all her days of card capturing and smiled as she thought how lucky she was to have Syaoran as a boyfriend. She was in the midst of her thoughts that she was too late to realize a big booming voice that said "IMPERIO" and a blast that hit her from behind. She tried to fight the spell, but it was like having puppet strings attached to her. She was forced to turn around to see a grinning evil Malfoy.
"Come here my darling Sakura" said Malfoy. "Let's go up to my room and have some midnight madness shall we?" all Sakura could do was try and fight and get to Syaoran telepathically 'Syaoran help!!!' she thought madly.
In the Gryffindor commonroom, Syaoran was going down the stairs with a velvet box in his pocket when he heard his cherry blossom's cry for help. He sprinted down the stairs knocking into people bringing Eriol also. When he saw Malfoy kissing Sakura, with her arms around his neck, he immediately thought she was not his anymore, but he read her aura and realized she was being controlled.
His aura burned with hatred and he attacked Malfoy with all his elements and charged at him with his sword, but was held back by Eriol who had anger filled in his eyes. "HOW DARE YOU PERFORM AN ILLEGAL CURSE ON HOGWARTS PROPERTY. I WILL FILE THIS AGAINST YOU AND YOUR PARENTS BECAUSE HOGWARTS DOES NOT TEACH SUCH THINGS. YOU WILL GO TO THE HEADMASTER IMMEDIATELY. NO, NOT BY FOOT. I WILL ESCORT YOU THERE PERSONALLY!"
"I don't think that will be necessary." Said a silky voice behind them. They wheeled around to find a wizard who had apparated somehow through Hogwarts barrier. "Voldemort" hissed Eriol
"ah. I see we meet again, Reed, or should I see only half-Reed" said Voldemort. "Wormtail!" he demanded
A tiny man came out from behind his cloak and said an incantation and vines sprung out of the ground to try and grab Eriol, Sakura and Syaoran, but they were too fast for it. People began to see what all the commotion was and some fainted when they saw Voldemort.
Unknown to everyone, Death Eaters started to surround the Eriol, Sakura, and Syaoran. Eriol had separated from the group to fight Voldemort so the Death Eaters closed in on Eriol. Sakura and Syaoran clicked into what they were going to do and yelled "ERIOL LOOK OUT!!!!" but Eriol didn't seem to hear. Sakura had no choice. She closed her eyes and recited the incantation she hadn't recited since she was 12.
"Oh Key of the Star with power burning bright Reveal the staff And Shine your light Release!!!"
Following her lead, Li brought out his sword and stood in a ready stance.
"Let him go" Sakura demanded to Voldemort and the death Eaters. She didn't notice the awe on everyone's face and the "see I told you" look Hermione was giving to Ron and Harry.
"Yes, finally the cardmistress reveals herself to everyone. I knew this would provoke you to show your powers. Now if you will quietly come with me, no one will get hurt, but if you don't you risk the lives of all these little children." And He pointed his wand at the frightened students of Hogwarts.
Sakura didn't reply because she knew that she had to give her self up. She took a step forward, but was stopped by Syaoran's voice in her head. 'don't he said. I know for a fact that even if you do go, he will kill us all. Besides, I won't let my little cherry blossom leave me for that ugly thing" Sakura formed a determined smile on her face and said,
"Earth, tie down all the followers of Voldemort so they cant move!!!" And faster than any of the Death Eaters could run, vines tied them down tightly to the ground.
"Fine have it your way. Avada Kevadra" said Voldmort and all the students screamed, but looked up as there was nothing.. "WHAT?!?!?!!" yelled Voldemort furiously. A tired Sakura looked up and smiled. "You have no chance against the combined power of this school. My power will only grow if our students believe that scum like you can be washed away. I have protected them with my care for them and now, you will have to fight them all" and she fainted before the determined students. Syaoran looked around and smiled because all the students had their wands up against Voldemort and yelled all sorts of jinxes hexes and curses and he couldn't fight back because Sakura's care had left a shield of protection. Syaoran silently picked up Sakura and walked to the Gryffindor commonroom.
~~~~~In the Common Room~~~~~
Syaoran lay Sakura on the couch and healed her with his magic. He smiled as Sakura stirred and said, "is it time for dinner?"
"You're sounding more and more like the stuffed animal." He teased. "Syaoran!!! What happened? Where's the scum, Where's malfoy???" He calmed her down and said, the students will take care of the scum and as for malfoy, I will take care of him tomorrow. I'm too lazy to right now."
And Sakura giggled as he let out a big yawn. She let out one but when she opened her eyes, she realized Syaoran had pulled her into a deep kiss. Yes, this was how it was supposed to be. His hands slipped under her blouse to rub her back as she let out a moan. He smirked and proceeded to move down her neck. She giggled and he went back to her lips. She separated and came face to face with a playfully pouting Syaoran.
"Hey, I'm not done" he said. Sakura giggled as she pounced on him and they kissed on the couch and fell asleep totally forgetting the Hogsmeade trip.
At 5am, the others came back from the Hogsmeade trip. Voldemort was executed and his followers sent to Azkaban now guarded by the giants who were friends with the Ministry now. Eriol was sent to the hospital wing where he was treated by Tomoyo with lots of kisses.
When Harry, Hermione and Ron came into the common room, they were about to talk, but they saw Sakura and Syaoran on the sofa sleeping together and let out an AWWW that woke up Syaoran and Sakura. They got them caught up on eachother's secrets and talked about what they were going to do to malfoy.
"Oh, I already have a plan," said Syaoran "and no, you'll have to wait for it Sakura. Although he's already expelled, he will get to go to the dance and see what I have in store for him"
"Ohohohoho I can't wait." Said Tomoyo as she walked in with Eriol behind her. After reunions and happiness (sry I have to skip it -_-) Tomoyo asked Syaoran when nobody could hear, "does it have anything to do with that velvet box in your pocket?" And Syaoran ran upstairs exclaiming that he had to get ready for the dance all flushed 10 million shades of red.
"But it's only 6am" cried Sakura. "Oh well. So I was saying" but everyone, except Tomoyo and Eriol were asleep on the ground because they were up til 5am. After carrying them to their rooms using her magic, Sakura was flocked by Tomoyo naggin her to try thousands of dresses that she had made.
~~~~~~~~~An hour before the Dance~~~~~~~~
(AN: by the way, the dance was changed to a end of the year dance) Syaoran was in his room pacing. He had already worn a hole in the carpet and was on the verge of pacing a hole in the ground. "Sakura, I know you might not be ready for this, but I love you soo sooo soo much. ew no. um. how about." and he went on for trying to find out how to ask her to marry him. He was too busy to notice the floor creak but when it gave way, he screamed, "Ahhhhh" as he fell right into Eriol's office.
Eriol chuckled and said, "Thinking about how to tell her my cute lil descendant?" "Any suggestions" He growled back "Nope, you're on your own buddy. But whatever you do, tell her the truth. Alright?" "Huh? OF COURSE DUH WHY WOULD I LIE TO MY OWN GIRLFRIEND?" "maybe if you get scared and don't tell her at all???" said a snickering Tomoyo coming out of the shadows.
"Ah. It's the attack of the weird and mysterious couple!!!" shouted Syaoran as he ran back to his room.
~~~~~~~~At the Dance~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was dressed elegantly but no one was more beautifully dressed than Sakura. She had a simple pink dress on that went down to her ankles. It was Chinese style white dress with pink cherry blossoms along the side and a black outline. Around the neck and hems. It went down to her ankles and hugged all her curves revealing a perfect body. Her hair was put up in a bun with chopsticks and with strands hanging out.
Everyone gaped but no one made a move because they knew all about her secret, her dating Syaoran and how Syaoran was the powerful Li clan leader. Sakura went up to Syaoran and gave him a kiss on the cheek and sat next to him.
"Welcome students to the end of the year dance! We hope you enjoy the new band we know you will all like, THE GHOULY GHOULS!!! (AN: yes it's stupid but whatever -_- that's not the point") Everyone got up and danced
Finally, the last 4 songs were slow dance songs. Syaoran made sure to dance with Sakura in Malfoy's view and was satisfied when Malfoy, flanked by, not Crabbe and Goyle, but by 2 Ministry of Magic counselors, growled and fumed at this sight. Finally, when the last song was announced, Syaoran steered Sakura to the middle of the dance floor and knelt down.
Everyone stopped to watch as Syaoran pulled out a velvet box and said, "S-Sakura, You might not feel this way, but I have since the first time we met. I know I acted like a jerk in he beginning, but I quickly fell in love with you. I can't stand anything without you. I need you. You might not be ready for this, but I am."
Someone in the crowd (TOMOYO) yelled "GET ON WITH IT" and Sakura giggled as Syaoran turned many shades of red and pink. "Will you take this promise ring as a sign to be my future wife?" Sakura cried and flung herself into his arms and said, "of course" and everyone clapped as the couple kissed ending the dance on a happy note.
