The Fourth Potter
By: Emerald May
Chapter 14
By now, all the other students had awaken from their 'sleep', and recorded their 'dreams'. Only Sakura and Draco had not awoken. Professor Snape was beginning to become worried, something that rarely happened. If his daughter dies…. James will have my head for sure…gr.. And so would Lucius.. He knelt down beside his two students. Neither of them seemed to be breathing, each rigid, hands by their side. Harry was holding his sister's head, a tear forming in his eye.
"Sakura… please wake up.." He prayed silently, his two best friends beside him on either side.
Severus stood up and began to concoct a potion to revive his students. He was stirring the mixture when there was a commotion from where they lay.
Sakura's emerald green hues fluttered open, mirroring the ones that Harry had. She groaned, trying to get into a sitting position. "….He wears a mask…"
Hermione was holding her hand. "Who wears a mask, Sakura?"
She shook her head. "I… don't… know…"
A few feet away, Draco was too in a sitting position, Pansy clinging to his forearm. "Oh, Draco! You are alive!"
Draco pushed her away. "Why wouldn't I be.."
Pansy turned to Sakura, a glare upon her face a she nearly spat in Sakura's face, who moved back, towards the protection of her 'new-brother'. "YOU DID THIS! You are a monster, you concocted the potion and did this!" She slapped her, a red handprint forming across her cheek.
"WHY WOULD I WANT TO KILL MYSELF, LET ALONE A CLASSMATE?!?" She screamed back, enraged. She muttered, "If Meiling and Syaoran and all my other friends where here, they would, ARG!"
Draco grabbed Pansy. "What's the matter with you? It was only the potion to see what each person dreamed of!"
Everyone silenced as the Potion Master walked beside them, his cloak billowing behind him. "Parkinson! Violence is not the way in my classroom… twenty points from Slytherin will be deducted!" He barked at her. She looked at him surprised before staring down at the floor. He turned to Harry. "Potter, escort you sister and Malfoy to the Hospital Wing. NOW!" Harry scrambled up to his feet, pulling Sakura up and putting out a hand to Draco.
"I don't need the help of a Potter," the young Slytherin said as he stood up shakily. Harry glared at him as he led his sister and his foe towards the infirmity.
************************************************************************
Madam Pomfrey was surprised and quickly made room for the two students, beds side by side. She then shooed Harry out, telling him to return to class. "What kind of a potion was this?"
Sakura looked down. "It was a sleeping potion.."
Madam Pomfrey quirked an eyebrow at her, then at Draco. "Then what could have been so dangerous?"
Draco shook his blonde tresses. "We don't even know the answer to that.."
The nurse sighed, turning her back onto the two patients. "Okay. Fine. Just rest until I say you are able to return to your classes."
As Madam Pomfrey left, Draco turned is attention to the Card Mistress. "What was that dream about? I mean, Voldemort was there. And you did some strange magic, if that's what it's called." He sneered.
Sakura turned her head to him. "In fact, it was magic, but nothing compared to what this school's teachings are capable of."
Interested, Draco continued to bug her, hoping to get an answer out of her. "Then what kind of magic is it?"
"As I told Professor Snape, I am not permitted to say out of my own free will."
He grumbled, "Oh come on, it can't be all that special."
Her jade hues flashed towards him. "It is important, and special to me! And to Clow Reed!" Her hand flew to her lips.
He looked up, a smirk on his face. "Okay then. Who is Clow Reed?" She sighed, a hand on her forehead.
"Okay, fine, I'll tell you, but you'll have to promise that you won't tell anyone. Not your fellow Slytherins, your father, or Voldemort."
He nodded, giving her his promise. She sighed again, beginning with the story of how she became a carcaptor when she was ten, roughly a year ago. "Okay, well, there was this mysterious, glowing book in my father's basement."
"Which father? James, or Fucatika?"
She glared at him. "It's Fujitaka. I didn't even know James when I was ten."
"Okay, okay, sorry. Go on."
"Fine. So I went down there to see what it was. I opened it, and there was a card on the top-"
Draco interupted her once again. "A card? What kind? Like a regular card?"
She sighed exasperated. "Malfoy, do you want me to tell you the story or not?"
He quieted down. He muttered. "Sorry."
"Well, as I was saying, there was a card on the top. It was 'The Windy'. So I said the card's name out loud, whose magic was released and blew all the other cards away. Then, Kero, the Guardian Beast of the Seal, came out from the top of the book, and granted me the powers of a staff, the staff that you saw earlier, for me to be the cardcaptor of the Clow. So, I began to collect the cards, along side by my rival, Syaoran Li, who is the direct descendent of Clow Reed himself. His clan, the Li Clan, ordered him to go to Tomoeda, Japan to retrieve the cards that were in my possesion. I wouldn't so we became 'enemies'. His cousin, also his fiance, Meiling Li came with him."
Draco rasied an eyebrow. "A cousin, but fiance…?"
Sakura nodded. "Anyway, as we collected the cards, my best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, who is also my second cousin, found out about it and she is the designer of my costumes for the captures, and is also the video recorder."
"A video recorder? What is that? You know, us wizarding families do not know about you muggle devices."
"Oh… Well a tape recorder is to record something, motions and sound. So Tomoyo records my captures. Finally after capturing all of the cards, Yue, who is the Moon Guardian, borrowed form, Yukito-"
Draco stopped her, "Wait, borrowed form?"
"Borrowed form. It's a form to conceal their true identities, Yue's and Keroberus. Keroberus' true form is a long with wings. His borrowed form is a stuffed toy like creature."
"Hm… that sounds right… but what is 'Yue's' form?"
"He is like a human, but with wings.. eh.."
"Oh… okay, go on."
"Well, Syaoran and I came down to the Final Judgment, a test to prove who is the worthy candidate to be the master of the Clow Cards. So we battled, but Syaoran lost, and it was my turn. I succeeded in defeating Yue, which he granted the powers of the cards to be in my hands. My mission was not yet finished, for I had to transform each and every card to the Sakura Cards, which demanded a lot of energy too. But I finally succeeded, transforming the last cards, Light and Dark, in which Eriol Hiiragizawa had challenged me. Eriol is the half reincarnation of Clow Reed, Fujitaka Kinomoto, my 'father' the other half. I had also defeated Eriol as well, in which we became, 'okay friends'. And then I got my expectance to Hogwarts, and here I am, telling the rival of my brother's family the story of the Clow Cards."
Draco was sitting back on his pillow, overwhelmed at all the information that had been thrown at him at once. "Whoa… How did you ever survive? I mean, this is like servant's work."
"No, it isn't servant work, for I shall tell you, and I am not trying to brag or boast, but I am now considered the most powerful sorceress upon this planet."
Draco's eyes widened. "Oh…."
She simply nodded "Mhm. Anyway," She paused, yawning, "I think I am going to get a rest." She turned on her side, her back towards her classmate as she dozed off, the memory of the dream earlier coming back to her. He wears a mask……
Draco watched her sleep, as he remembered all the things about Clow Reed and the cards Sakura had just told him. "This is unbelievable.." He too turned onto his side, his grey hues closing, sleep luring him into darkness.
************************************************************************
Madam Pomfrey came within the room where her injured students lay. She gently nudged the two of the to wake up, for their next class was to be in session. "Mr. Malfoy, and Miss Kinomoto. Your next class is to begin. Now I feel that you two are well enough to attend them."
Draco sat up, brushing his blonde tresses away from his eyes as he slid his legs over the side of the hospital bed, glancing at the Card Mistress. Most powerful sorceress.. psh.
Sakura's jade hues fluttered open, as she remembered the 'dream' incident and her telling Draco of her cards. She got up and walked towards the door, where Draco was waiting for her, under Madam Pomfrey's command to escort her safely towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. "Come on. Our next class is where your parent's are teaching."
She looked up at him, glaring slightly at the ignorant tone he used when saying 'your parents'. "Fine. Then lead the way to the classroom."
He glared at her slightly. "Lead the way to the classroom? What am I, your servant?"
Sakura smirked. "No, but you were commanded by Madam Pomfrey to escort me." She pulled out the Star Key from beneath the collar of her Hogwarts robes. "Or have you forgotten that I am the Clow Mistress?" He noticed and averted his eyes, grumbling. "Oh fine. Come on then."
She followed the Slytherin Third Year down the many steps of stairs and the corridors that were filled with the portraits of famous witch and wizards, each one moving, their eyes following the young Gryffindor and Slytherin. Sakura couldn't help but feel the pictures watching them, whispering behind their colorful pastels.
Draco stopped abruptly, Sakura nearly running into him. "Why did you stop?"
"I hear a voice… But I cannot distinguish the words…" was his only reply.
Sakura quirked an eyebrow as she closed her eyes, her right palm enclosing her Star Key, her forehead crinkled in concentration.
………He wears……a……mask…………………………………………
Her eyes flew open as she caught onto the words. "He wears a mask..?" She whispered.
Draco had not heard her for he was already near the end of the corridor. "Well? Are you coming or not?"
She ran after him as he turned at the corner. "Wait up!"
The two of them came towards the end of a corridor, as Draco stopped in front of the door. "Well. This is the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Also where your parents are teaching." He opened the door, walking in first, not bothering to allow Sakura to go. She caught the door before it slammed shut in her face, pushing it open, for it was quite heavy. Sakura fell into the room as someone had held the door open, landing upon her knees. "Huh..? Ah!" She yelped in surprise. She heard a snicker, and turned to her right, glaring at Draco. The Clow Mistress glanced up, her eyes meeting up to the one with sapphire, her father, James Potter.
"Are you alright, Sakura?"
She nodded, embarrased that she had fallen into the room, right in front of her biological mother and father. Harry walked over and help her up, he too glaring at the cold, gray-hued Slytherin. Sakura dusted off her robe as Professor Potter shut the door, before smiling down at Sakura and walking back to his wife.
"Okay, please find your seats and we shall begin the lesson," Lily said, a smile coming upon her face as she glanced at Sakura, who sat beside Harry. Finally… Both of my children are now safe within Hogwarts…
************************************************************************
As the lesson went on, Lily couldn't help but glance towards her daughter, amazed at how much she had grown. But… I never got to see her grow up… She thought sadly. She noticed her son whispering to Sakura, Hermione and Ron both agreeing, nodding their heads. Lily turned to James and smiled at him as he was giving the lesson.
James gave the final instructions, directing them to answer the questions within their textbooks, before he walked towards Lily, and sat down beside her. "Well… There is our daughter and son… But I just don't understand how she managed to be in 3rd year…"
Lily nodded towards, replying back to her beloved, "Yes. It is strange… do you think she could possibly be concealing a secret?"
James could only shrug. "I have no idea…"
Draco glanced up, catching onto his professors' last statements and smirked. Yes… Sakura is hiding a secret…And I know it! He couldn't help but think gleefully. He was copying down the questions from him textbook, and answered them as his two cronies were bickering childlishly. He glared furiously at them. "Would you two just shut up?"
Crabbe and Goyle looked down, settling down, doing their work. Draco glanced at his right, seeing the Card Mistress working on her questions, the Star Key hanging around her neck as he remembered what she said. I am now considered as the most powerful sorceress in the world…… He then remembered something else, like a memory from a dream… literally. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what was said within their dream encounter with Voldemort.
The bell signaled the end of class, and the occupants of the classroom packed up their belongings, walking toward the door. Sakura paused as Lily and James come towards her and Harry. She was a bit apprehensive as Lily kneeled down. "Oh Sakura… I am your mother, but I have a strong suspicion that you do not remember me. Nor your father."
Sakura shook her head, her jade hues averted towards the ground. "I am sorry… the only relatives that I know are Fujitaka Kinomoto and Touya Kinomoto. I do not remember Nadeshiko Kinomoto either… I don't know you two either…"
Lily nodded, tears brimming her eyes. "Yes… I can understand. You were only an infant when-" She broke off, not wanting to say the murderous name.
Sakura looked up. "Voldemort?" She supplied.
Lily nodded. James came up behind her, placing a comforting hand upon his wife's shoulder. "Yes.. Voldemort. He sent that dreadful curse towards you… and we thought we had lost you forever.." Lily looked away from the innocent face that had stared back at her, breaking the connection between the mirroring emerald green orbs. Without warning, Lily grabbed Sakura holding her close. The sudden action made Sakura's eyes widen, and she struggled for a split second. Lily released her. "I'm sorry… it's just that… I never got to see my baby girl grow up…"
James held Lily in an embrace. "Do not cry, Tiger-Lily… We will both be able to watch Sakura grow up into an intelligent young woman through her years at Hogwarts."
Harry nudged his parent's shoulder. "Mum, Dad? Sakura and I had better go. Ron and Hermione are waiting for us."
James nodded, still stroking his wife's hair. "Go on. I'll watch over your mother."
Harry pulled Sakura up to her feet, leading her towards the door, and the two of then walked out, finding Harry's two best friends waiting, Ron becoming impatient. "Finally." He breathed out, walking in the direction of the Great Hall. Hermione, Sakura, and Harry followed them, not knowing that they were being watched. He wears… a mask…… The mysterious, dream-like voice had called out through the magical forces of the corridor's air once again, but was not heard for the Card Mistress had already disappeared behind the corner's bend.
