Disclaimer/Authors Notes: Hey everyone… A very unfortunate event occurred about 3 weeks ago. My computer had crashed, and so I had to delete EVERYTHING I had on there… MP3s, fan fiction, AOL, everything. Even my paper I had to do for school, to turn in the NEXT day. So, that is the reason for the month-delayed chapter of The Fourth Potter.. And my previous one was good to!! .! I thank everyone who reviewed, and I am truly sorry. *sighs* well, anyway, here is the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it (this time I did NOT enjoy retying it.. ) And PLEASE forgive me for the late chapter!!! ;_; Happy Reading!! J
The Fourth Potter
By: Emerald May
Chapter 15 (Hm..I forgot.. is it?? )
Sakura suddenly remembered that she had to do a four-foot essay for Potions and quickly bid her friends and brother goodbye, nearly running towards the library. She stopped, realizing that she had no idea where the library was located and sighed. Great… I knew I was forgetting something.. She glanced around, scanning the corridor through her jade hues, spotting a familiar trait of the Weasley's – red hair.
"Excuse me!" She called out, hoping to distract the Weasley's attention. He turned around, and she saw his face, Percival Weasley, best known as Percy. "Hi Percy. Can you tell me where the library is?"
He quirked an eyebrow, smirking ever so slightly at the 'new' Potter. "Why, you are standing in front of the entrance.." He chuckled softly.
Sakura turned a dark shade of crimson as she looked at the double doors, 'Hogwarts Library' stamped across the top in a brilliant golden yellow. "Oh.. hehe, thanks.." She slipped silently into the library, heading towards the rear, exactly next to the forbidden area of the library. She flipped open her book, parchment ready, quill poised over the parchment as she began to write in her neat handwriting, the uses of the potion that they had preformed earlier. Without realizing it, her hues were glazed over as she started to write something on her parchment - something that was definitely in Japanese.
At that instant, Ron had tapped her on her shoulder, which brought her out of her trance. "Huh..? Oh, hi Ron."
"Hey. Come on, dinner is starting. We are all waiting for you. Harry got worried and asked me to get you." He then noticed the Japanese text. "Hey, what is that?"
"What..?" She looked down, seeing what she had wrote, in her 'trance'. Her eyes read it, and her mouth was open slightly, for she was confused. "What does this mean..?"
Ron stood there impatiently. "What does it say?"
".. He wears a mask.. " Who is sending me these messages… and what does it mean? She stood up, gathering her belongings, and slung her book bag around her shoulders. "Let's go."
He followed her, he too pondering about the mysterious message that seemed to be sent from nobody. "Okay." He slipped in front of her to lead her to the Great Hall.
As they walked down the corridor, the Clow Mistress glanced out the window, seeing the moon reflect on the lake, and an image of her friends and family appeared in her mind. "…" She simply followed her friend to the Great Hall, where dinner was to be held.

Severus Snape sullenly sat beside Lily at the staff table, avoiding his eyes, knowing that she would as a question he did not know the answer to. He picked up his fork, preparing to take a bite out of the meal.
Lily tapped his shoulder gently. "Severus.. What happened in your potions class today..? I mean.. how did Sakura and Draco.. just not wake up?"
He sighed, knowing the question had at last been asked. "I do not know the reason to that incident. I was merely there, teaching, and they didn't wake up after 5 minutes that they should've. Perhaps they might've messed up the potion and did it to their own fault." The Potions Master kept his gaze at the meal, and he glanced up at the entrance of the Great Hall, seeing Weasley and Potter enter room. ".. She seems fine.. that… Potter.." Severus muttered beneath his breath, as to make sure Lily and James did not hear. He saw her, Kinomoto, begin to converse with another First Year. He sighed and returned to his meal, not uttering a word.

"Hey Sakura," Cassidy Jeveron said as her new friend sat down beside her.
"Hi Cassidy. How was your first day?"
"It was great. Too bad you were placed into Third Year.. how did you manage?"
Sakura shrugged, not really wanting to tell about her true identity as the Card Mistress, and so she reached over the wooden table, grabbing a roll in her hand. "I don't know. Amazing though.. hehe."
"I heard that there was an incident in your class.. that you had not woken for quite awhile with a potion expirement."
She nodded, remembering. "Yeah. I don't know what it was about though.. quite strange in my opinion. Draco Malfoy was my partner, and…." She went on about, telling what had happened in Potions class, while Harry, Ron, and Hermione discussed about the quidditch 'auditions' that would be held the next day, and the match, the week after. "So, Ron, are you going to try out?" Harry asked his red-haired friend, who simply shook his head.
"I don't think so. I've heard of all the risks of being on the team.. though I wouldn't mind trying out for Beater. Fred got kicked off because of his recklessness towards the Slytherins. Too bad for him. It was a really great moment for me," Ron replied, remembering the time, during the previous year, when George had been hit by a bludger, by a Slytherin, thus resulting in unconsiousness. Fred had then seen the quaffle being thrown at him, and he used his beating stick to thwack the quaffle at a Slytherin player. The action had resulted in him being suspended off the team.
Hermione nodded. "It was a reckless thing for Fred to do.. he should have known it would result in a consequence. I wonder who will try out then." She took a drink out of her goblet, allowing the refreshing drink to go down her throat.
Harry turned to his sister, and asked, "Hey, Sakura, do you want to try out for the quidditch team?"
Sakura looked from Cassidy to Harry. "Quidditch?"
Cassidy began to inform her. "Yeah, it is a really great game where brooms are used in it. There is the quaffle, which scores points on the team, and the bludgers, in which the Beaters use a stick to hit it away from the Seeker."
Harry nodded. "Yep, that is basically it. First Years are usually not allowed to try out, but I was an acception..hehe. But we are in need of a Beater, so maybe McGonagall will let you try out."
"And technically, you are a Third Year," Ron broke in, his mouth filled with mashed potatoes. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"He's right," She simply said.
The Clow Mistress glanced at Cassidy. "Should I try?"
She nodded, her eyes glowing slightly. "Yeah, I know I sure would. Maybe I can try out in the future, during my other years." Sakura's expression then broke into a smile. "Alright then, I will."
"Alright!" Harry said. "We'll have to talk to Madam Hooch and Professor McGonagall for their permission. Meet me tomorrow afternoon in the Quidditch field. We can ask them then."
She nodded, and Sakura took a bite of her food, returning to her conversation to Cassidy, gossiping about the school, quidditch, teachers, and for what the year would store for them as it went on.
****************************************************************************************************
Professor Dumbledore overheard the friends talking about the quidditch game, and how the long lost Potter maybe able to compete in the first game of the season. What they didn't know was that there was to be a tournament, a tournament that would include all the other wizardry schools, including Salem-Witch Institute from America, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.
He chuckled at the information he already knew, his sapphire blue hues glanced towards Sakura's direction, for the tournament would be held in Japan…in a secluded area, invisible to others due to magic…exactly in the heart of Tomoeda.

I know that this is a bit short, and you can see that I have included things from the other Harry Potter books, ones that came from 'The Goblet of Fire'. As you can see, the 'tournament' would be held in Tomoeda… Will Sakura be able to invite the gang and her adoptive family, or will she have to suffer through it without them, when she knows very well they are no more than half-a-mile away?
