Truth hurts the sequel

Chapter 2

Sakura opened her eyes and found that she had just walked through the portal and ended up on platform 9¾. Sakura took a deep breath to calm herself and walked away from the stonewall behind her where she had emerged from so that she would not block the way. Sakura felt very small here, alone with nobody who knew her as she had erased all their memories of the past year, hopefully not what they had learnt. Looking around, Sakura felt a slight pang in her heart. She had only been gone for a few minutes and she was missing Syaoran, Tomoyo and Onii-chan already. Thinking about her family, she realized something that made her eyes widened. Her father's death anniversary was in a few days! Sakura sighed. At least she could visit the place where her father was found alive but died the day after. Sakura heard a commotion coming from the wall and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw whom it was.

"Oh no. Kero, their here," whispered Sakura loud enough so that Kero could hear from her pocket. Kero popped his head out of her pocket.

"I hope that they don't remember anything, cause it will complicate matters," Kero said worryingly. Sakura bent her head and stepped on the immobile train, found an empty compartment and slipped inside. Just as Sakura closed the door shut, Kero flew out of her pocket.

"What's up kid? You look disturbed," asked Kero with a concern voice. Sakura shook her head and gave Kero a small smile.

"It's just that I remembered that dad's death anniversary is in a few day's time. Can you come with me to visit the quidditch field on that day?" asked Sakura with a grin. Kero marveled at Sakura's strength.

"Sakura, don't mind me asking but aren't you saddened by your dad's death?" asked Kero silently. Sakura just giggled.

"Kero, I already know that we all have to go one day. Yes, I might miss him a little sometimes but I still have Onii- chan and you!" said Sakura with a laugh. Kero grinned but before he could speak, the door slid open.

"Hello there! Is this seat empty?" asked a girl with curly hair. Sakura froze. It was the HP gang! Sakura just stared at them in shock.

"Hey, I know that Harry here is famous and all but could you stop staring and let us in? This bag is heavy you know?" said a boy with red hair. Sakura caught herself in time and smile faintly.

"Erm. sorry for that. Just thinking, anyway, yeah! You guys can come in." Said Sakura cheerfully as she stood up. She saw a red haired girl struggling with her trunk and Sakura went to help.

"Here, Ginny, let me help you," said Sakura as she took the trunk form the girl. Everyone stared at her.

"H- how did you know my name?" asked Ginny. Sakura gave herself a mental kick.

"Erm. You guys are famous where I live! Yeah! That's it!" said Sakura with a nervous laugh. It was a good thing that Harry and Gang accepted what she had said or else she would be in the center of suspicions.

"So! Is this your fist year here?" asked Harry when they sat down. Sakura gulped. Kari did not tell her what year she would be in. Oh no.

"Erm. Can I not answer that?" asked Sakura as she started clenching and unclenching her toes in her shoes.

Harry, Hermoine, Ron and Ginny looked at each other.

"Erm. why?" asked Ginny.

"Yeah. You're new here aren't you? But you look really familiar," said Ron thoughtfully.

"Yeah. now that you mentioned it, I-" just then, Harry was interrupted by a loud bang coming from the door. Sakura turned, expecting it to be Malfoy but it was Neville longbottom struggling to carry his luggage.

"Neville! I thought that it was Malfoy!" cried Sakura as she jumped up to help the poor boy. Everyone including Neville stared at her as she took his trunk from him.

"Do I know you?" asked Neville stupidly.

"Anyway, you know our names, somehow, and we don't know yours." Said Ginny. Sakura smiled.

"I am Sakura Kinomoto." She said and smiled. The name triggered something in all of their memories. She could feel Kero kick her from her pocket. Wrong move!

"Wait a minute-" started Harry but he was interrupted (AGAIN!) by another loud banging form the door. This time, it WAS Malfoy with Crabby and Goyle.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" Malfoy said with a grin. Sakura did not speak but just rolled her eyes and went to the door. She smiled sweetly at him and slammed the door on his face. She could hear a loud roar of pain form outside and she shouted across the door.

"SERVES YOU RIGHT!"

Everyone who saw the commotion started laughing and she could hear Malfoy shout, "I will get my revenge!" Sakura just rolled her eyes and turned back, grinning, to see the Hp gang laughing their heads off.

"That was so cool!" cried Ginny as she hugged Sakura.

"We should have done that a long time ago," mused Harry. Hermoine noticed something.

"Are we all famous in the village? HOW come you know all our names?" Sakura's smile wavered and she spoke what came on her mind first.

"Yes. My village. A gossipy village *sigh*," Sakura said dramatically. Everyone nodded and seemed to believe her. The rest of the trip was fine and when they reached Hogwarts, everyone was talking excitedly of the small 'drama' which took place in the train.

"Ha ha, how exciting. First day here and I am already attracting attention," she murmured to Harry and gang as they walked away from the train. Harry snorted.

"What about me?" he said and Sakura laughed. She knew what he meant. From a distance, they could hear Hagrid calling the first years and Sakura followed them to him. Sakura looked up at the giant and caught herself just in time. She could not say his name. Sakura then saw Hagrid look at her in surprise and he grinned. He opened his mouth but Sakura shook her head slightly to silence him. Hargrid understood and gave a faint nod. She said her goodbyes and followed the giant to the rest of the first years. When Harry and gang were out of sight, Hargrid sighed.

"You haven't told them?" he asked Sakura. Sakura shook her head.

"I know about the prophecy. I'm to send you to Dumbledor once I send the first years across the river. It was a good thing you did not erase all the teacher's memories. I don't know what we would do!" said Hagrid.

"Hagrid, I don't know why I am here. Do you know anything about the prophecy?" Asked Sakura sadly. Hagrid shook his head.

"Nope can do, Sakura. Dumbledor is not very open on this, ya know? Sorry, Sakura." Sakura smiled at the giant.

"It's ok, Hagrid. I understand." asked Sakura.

"Dumbledore will tell ya as soon as he meets you." Sakura nodded and when they reached the castle, they met Professor McGonagall.

"Good evening, Professor," said Sakura. The professor smiled and nodded to her in greeting.

"Evening, Sakura, Hagrid. Dumbledor's waiting in his office." She said as she ushered the first years in a line, leaving for the great hall for the yearly sorting.

"C'mon, Sakura, best not keep Dumbledore waiting." Said Hagrid briskly as Sakura jogged after him, trying to keep up with his long, bigger strides.
