Truth hurts the sequel
Chapter 8
Months have past since the incident at Hagrid's cabin and at the turn of an eye, it was Christmas. Sakura woke up near dawn and went down to the deserted Gryfindor Dorm. Everyone had not gone home for Christmas because of the Christmas ball coming up and everyone was still asleep. Sakura suddenly felt a pang of sadness when she saw the decorations the house elf, Dobby, had put up, reminding her that it was the first time she had spent Christmas away from home. Sakura had visited the quidditch field during her father's death anniversary in the night and when the Gargoyles saw her, they did not stop Sakura. They know, she thought. Sakura smiled at the ornaments, which had a picture with Harry's face on it, reading 'Have a very Harry Christmas!' Sakura sighed and admitted to herself that she missed Syaoran and Tomoyo a lot. Noticing a piece of parchment and a quill on the chair, Sakura had an idea. Taking the parchment and pen, Sakura started composing a letter to her friends:
Dear Syaoran,
How are you? So sorry that I did not write back earlier, but I was really busy. You see, Harry and gang had remembered everything now. It was not as bad as it seems because it looks like they were the only ones who remember anything about it. I don't have any presents for both you and Tomoyo this time but I am sure that I will give one when we meet again. I hope you know that I am in Hogwarts by the request of Kari, I am sure you have met her right? I really miss you; Syaoran and I really want to meet you again. But all we can do is pray that Kari will regain her powers soon and we can be together. The big fight is coming and I'm nervous. I really wish that you were with me now.
Missing you,
Sakura
P.S- say hi to Tomoyo for me all right? Tell her that I'm ok… oh… Merry Christmas!
Sakura sealed the letter in an envelope and went to the owl infirmary. Taking one of Hogwart's owls, Sakura tied the letter onto its leg. Sakura faltered before letting it go. What if Syaoran hated her because she had not contacted them for so long? Sakura pushed the thought away from her mind. She sighed and watched as the owl flew of into the rising sun.

Syaoran lay on his back on his bed, wide-awake, on a lonely Christmas night. He wondered what Sakura was doing now. Was she in danger? All right? What? Sakura had not contacted either of them since Kari's appearance and he was worried. Just as his eyelids were closing, there was a small pecking coming from the bedroom window. He ignored it, thinking that it was raining and closed his eyes. The pecking continued and Syaoran groaned.
"Bugger off," he muttered and turned away form the window. The pecking continued and Syaoran opened his eyes, reading to kill whatever it was with his sword when he saw her. Or it. His eyes widened and he opened the window, letting her (it) in. The owl flew in and Harry noticed that there was a letter attached to its (her) leg. The owl stretched out its (her) leg to him and he untied the string that held the parchment fast to its (her) leg. Once he had freed her from its mission, she hooted once and flew back out into the clear sky. Syaoran stared at the unopened parchment. Bracing himself, he opened it and read the letter. Syaoran smiled as he read it, heart jumping with joy to know that Sakura was ok. He rolled the parchment back up and sighed. Picking up the phone, he punched in Tomoyo's number, knowing that she would still be awake at 3a.m in the morning. He thought briefly about how tired the owl must have been to fly halfway around the world when Tomoyo picked up the phone.
"Hello?" said Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo, I received an Owl from Sakura," said Syaoran as Tomoyo squealed. He smiled lightly and shook his head. Oh well.
I am sooo sorry! I know this chappie is a little short but… yeah. I'm working on it. I'll be updating soon k? Ja!
