Chapter 6
Well, this is it, Sakura thought as she stood in front of King's Cross Station, her father, brother, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Meiling standing beside her. Although her Onii-chan kept a calm, straight face, he was struggling with the inner voice inside him.
I can't believe it. My Imoto is going to Hogwarts, a wizardry school halfway across two continents! And I won't even be able to see her until Christmas! It's not fair! She is my Imoto, not that Potter family! Touya looked down at the dark-haired child. Why does she have to go to there? Isn't there a wizardry school in Japan? He silently cursed himself for being over protective and selfish of his younger sister, who was only related to him by law. If only she didn't receive that letter… If only she was my real Imoto… If only… But there was no time for 'if only' questions.
"This is not fair!" Meiling pouted, arms crossed. "Not only can you and Syaoran capture the Clow Cards, but now you," She shot a dirty look at Sakura, which concealed a smile. "get to go to a school where you learn real magic with wands, and cauldrons, and potions, and….." She trailed off as Sakura began to laugh.
"Oh Meiling. It's only for three months." Sakura paused. "Well, then I will be at Hogwarts for another five months, and then it'll be the summer break.
That seems like an eternity…Touya sighed.
Fujitaka clapped his hands. "Well, I guess we had better get you on the Wartshog Express."
Sakura giggled. "Otou-san, it's Hogwarts, not Wartshog." She looked around. "Just one problem. Where is Platform 9 ¾?"
"Hey, look at that family." Tomoyo pointed towards a family who had a son. "They have an owl. Perhaps they are going to Hogwarts as well."
"You're right." Sakura turned to her friends and family. Tears brimmed her eyes." Well, I guess this is good-bye until Christmas."
No! Please! Let this be a dream! Touya's mind screamed. "Oh, Imoto." He hugged his sister, but wouldn't let go. His brotherly love took over as he whispered, "If anything, and I mean anything or anyone harms you, please owl me and tell me immediately."
Fujitaka gently tugged his daughter out of his son's arms.
Touya looked at his father with pleading eyes, begging him not to let his Sakura go to a foreign place. He buried his head in Sakura's jet-black hair. "I love you Imoto."
Sakura cried silently against her Onii-chan. "I love you too, Onii-chan," Sakura choked out, tears flowing freely over her tear-stained face.
Touya reluctantly let his father hug his sister. "I love you Sakura. Have a good time at Hogwarts." Fujitaka smiled down at his daughter as a single tear rolled down his cheek.
Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Meiling embraced their friend as she prepared to go on a journey that neither of them had endured.
"Have a great time Sakura," Tomoyo said, fighting back the urge to cry.
"Yeah," The two Chinese cousins said. Syaoran looked in Sakura's emerald orbs, eyes that he would not see for a long time.
"Good-bye!" Sakura said, crying and smiling at the same time. She turned and walked towards the family that Tomoyo and pointed out.
Please Sakura, please be careful. Touya silently prayed to the heavens, Please watch over my Imoto. Please protect her…
A figure silently looked down at the mourning group as the young Card Mistress made her way towards the family. "There will be many dangers that you will face at your years at Hogwarts. There will be times of joy, sadness, and fear. But we all know that you are strong enough to overcome the odds. Just remember. Once you've lost your faith, you have lost everything," The figure whispered in the crowd of people.
