The Fourth Potter

By: Emerald May

Chapter 20

Sakura Kinomoto and her biological parents made it just in time for the Quidditch Tryouts. Harry spotted his parents and his sister, waving them over to where Ron and Hermione were at.

"Great, you made it in time! Come on, Sakura. Mom and Dad will sit in the stands with the rest of the teachers who will judge who will be on the Quidditch Team," Said Harry, motioning to Lily and James.

'Judge' reminded Sakura about her moon guardian, Yue. She smiled softly at the battle that had determined her chosen fate as the Clow Mistress. Ah, how she missed her card-captoring days.

"Alright! The Quidditch Tryouts will begin!" Announced Madam Hooch, who was hovering in midair on a broom, a Firebolt to be exact. Madam Hooch flew down towards the damp ground, from the previous rainfall from last night. There on the ground laid the box that contained the Snitch, Quaffle, and Bludgers. "First up! I need a captain and two chasers!"

Alicia Spinnet and Katie Bell walked up boldly with their brooms to where Madam Hooch stood, waiting. Oliver Wood, having been giving a pep talk to his teammates, ran up to where Alicia and Katie were standing.

Sakura stood beside George Weasley, fear gripping her heart. What if she didn't make the team? Wouldn't her biological parents be disappointed? What would Syaoran and Meiling think? She knew Meiling probably wanted to battle against her in Quidditch. This thought made Sakura smile and chuckled, and George looked down at the short Japanese raised Potter. "What is so funny?"

"Oh nothing. Just a thought…" She said, turning her attention back to the tryouts. George, not completely understanding, simply shrugged his broad shoulders and sat down on the benches that were magically summoned up for the Quidditch players.

Sakura was really the only one that was trying out for a position on the Quidditch team from Gryffindor house, and Harry the only one trying out for another position. All of the team members had agreed that Harry would be best suited for the position of chaser. Personally, Harry was getting a bit tired from having to be one the one that decided the fate of the game. If he caught the snitch, Gryffindor team would win. If not, he would most likely be the one to be blamed, so in a way, he was both grateful to hand over the position to Sakura, but a bit sad. Least, he wouldn't be the one blamed… though of course he didn't want his sister to be blamed either. But in the end, it was in fact a good thing to participate in a variety of positions, giving the player the ultimate talent.

Fred Weasley still couldn't take part in the games, so Harry managed to get the position. He was as much a natural as Beater as he was Seeker. Now it was up to Sakura to live up to the name as Gryffindor Seeker. Who knows? She could be skilled in flying as she was in academics, for she was after all the one that had been advanced up two grade levels…

She walked to where Madam Hooch was standing, waiting. "Sakura, child, have you ever flown?"

To be on the safe side and not to reveal her Clow secret, she said, "No, I have never flown on a broom." Of course she had flown on that broom on the day when she had "lost" her key staff… but she didn't think it too keen to just blurt that out. Madam Hooch nodded and handed her a broom, a Nimbus 2001. A smile formed on Sakura's face as she held the broom within her hand. It was very much like The Fly, except it was lacking a good bit of magic and power, although that was not to be an object in her book.

Madam Hooch then showed the First Year how to properly mount the broom and take off. When that was settled, she released the snitch first, then the bludgers. Sakura's part was to dodge the bludgers, with Harry and George at her side to aid her, and to catch the snitch. There was no time limit, but Madam Hooch and the others professors had hope to keep the time within thirty minutes, since it was not a real game, and there was a wide open space for Sakura to catch the smallest Quidditch ball.

"Alright! Are you ready, team players?" They all nodded their heads at Madam Hooch, waiting for the signal of the whistle.

TWEET!

At the high pitched sound of the silver whistle, Sakura shot out with immense speed, her emerald green orbs searching for the golden snitch, unaware of the bludgers that were flying at her. "Watch out, Sakura!" Harry shouted, George was there to save the day, and his wooden Beater Bat collided with the bludgers, sending them hurling towards the opposite end of the Quidditch field. "Got to watch your back, seeker-to-be."

Sakura nodded as confidence swarmed throughout her blue-blooded veins. She focused her energy, mixing her magical talent with her Clow Magic, searching for the aura of the snitch. Yet, the energy of Clow Reed didn't help her much, so she had to find the snitch through her eyes, being completely dependent on them.

The golden snitch shot by her face and towards the ground, but Sakura wasn't fast enough to catch it right then. Determination written on her face, she streaked down around one of the goal posts and sped after the snitch. Almost there… She thought as her hand reached forward to grasp the golden object, but as before, it flew off before she could manage to grab it.

It was as if it had a mind of its own, staying away from the one that was to catch it. She frowned slightly before her mind lapsed into the mode of the card captor, her thoughts returning to the training that Kero gave her as she caught nearly all the cards. Without warning, Sakura stopped in her tracks, hovering in midair as Madam Hooch quirked an eyebrow. Was the young girl hurt? Sakura scanned the vicinity once more as she caught sight of a golden fleck and shot after it, nearly brushing her fellow classmates as she reached forward once more, but this time the snitch was defeated, clutched in the grasp of the seeker-to-be's hand.

Sakura landed swiftly on the ground, with almost no difficulty as she did. She looked over at the stands where the Gryffindors sat, grinning at them as she held the snitch up before handing it back to Madam Hooch. George and Harry landed merely seconds later, one on each of her sides.

"That was bloody amazing," George Weasley said, awe written on his pale face. "It almost felt like a real game out there. You are pure Seeker material, next to Harry of course." He turned the Harry and began to speak with him. "And Harry, you aren't that bad of a Beater either. I see a great year for the both of us." Harry beamed with pride for both himself and Sakura.

Oliver appeared out of nowhere, placing a hand on Sakura's left shoulder. "Welcome to the team, Sakura Potter." He had obviously forgotten that she preferred 'Kinomoto', but she didn't bother to correct him. Just pleased and happy that she had made it on the Quidditch team. Well, Syaoran and Meiling… till the day we meet again, we will see who is the true victor…

***************************************************************************************************************

From within the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and just in the view of the Quidditch Field stood a dark figure, this time no hood shielded it facial features. "Ah, dear little Sakura… Finally you made it to the Quidditch Team… how very fortunate for my sinister plans… But can you beat me?" It was all the figure said for a few moments before a 'pop' was heard behind him.

"S-sir, your meeting with the others is to begin in approximately ten minutes, sir," The smaller figure blurted out with much fear and hesitation.

The taller, more sinister figure turned and glared at the younger one. "Very well. But must you interrupt my train of concentration and thought? You fool!"

The smaller one cowered slightly as he spoke, as if a new light had appeared within him. "P-please forgive me, sir. And… and I have one other thing to say… please do not hurt the girl. Don't let any harm come to the Clow Mistress…. S-she has more power and knowledge than the rest of us combined…"

The man glared once more. "Are you trying to challenge me, servant?" His voice was dangerously calm as he advanced on the other. "The girl must die… or she will be the end of our kind, you inconsiderate adolescence." A silvery mist shot out from the end of the poised wand, filming the other, who was now incased in the 'bubble'. The younger figure fell to the ground, silent and cold. "Let that be a lesson to you, you worthless servant." The sinister figure disappeared without a trace.

The young adolescence did not move, his face frozen in horror. There was no clue as to who he was, or where he came from. He was now dead, the life sucked out of him from the flimsy material. Yet, there was something clutched in the boy's hand, a piece of parchment. Only time could tell when the parchment would be read by whoever crossed upon the corpse.

P.S. = Just for everyone's notice, I might be starting another fanfic that might be called "The Elementalists" Yes, yes, boring title, but perhaps a good story line. (Maybe even for a roleplaying guild. xD ) It won't be a Harry Potter fan fic, but just an original that might continue for awhile. All the details are not definite, such as race and age, or even the "evil" behind it all. For a quick little summary, please scroll down for it at the bottom of the page. Ja`ne!

Summary

"The Elementalists" (Maybe title)

Four dimensions shall collide after one of the four is destroyed in a great battle. Four fated 'elementalists', beholders of elements, shall meet with one another, each different from the other in culture, place, and time. The evil that had destroyed the one dimension, Sylvana, is out to destroy the other two in effort to be elite of them all. One fated elementalist shall emerge from the dimension of 'evil', whose name is not to be revealed, kept secret from all others in order to be 'The One'. Each of the four teens will not all be of same age or race (maybe), but will share the same feelings of fear, hope, anxiety, pain, and love on their quest to seek out the evil and avenge their losses. Can they manage to defeat the one behind it all? Or will the creation of life as we know it be lost and extinct, never to be revived again?
