Hello!! This is my second chapter of my very first fan fic. I just wanted
to say enjoy and if you have any questions or need something cleared up,
put it in your review and such. Oh, One more thing, Ginny doesn't like
Harry anymore in this story, in the 5th book, she went out with the other
guy, of course they broke up, so by dating him, she got over him and just
thinks of him as a friend.
Disclaimer: I repeat, I do not own CCS or Harry Potter, if I did, this would be on the IMAX movie theater.
Chapter 2: Meeting with old enemy and trip to Diagon Ally
Recap on the last chapter
"Ahh, I'm so glad school ended, I thought I was going to faint." Said Sakura while stretching cutely making Syaoran blush. Of course, Meilin and Tomoyo did not miss this but kept to themselves for once. Just then, they saw four owls in the sky carrying what seems to be a letter.
"Owls? In Japan? At this time of the day?" questioned Sakura, all confused. Syaoran just stand there with an understanding look on his face while Meilin and Tomoyo were also confused (even though Meilin is from the Li clan, I have the suspicion that she only trained Martial arts and not study magical history).
Just then, the owls swooped down and dropped the letters right in front of the Cardcaptor gang. They all picked it up and saw that it has a strange seal on it and has symbols of different animals. Sakura first opened hers and when she was done reading, her mouth was wide open. Tomoyo, seeing this, also opened hers and read it and her mouth dropped twice as much as Sakura. Meilin, seeing this two action, opened hers and read it and her action was, "what the heck is this thing?!?!?"
Now on with this chapter
The letter went something like this;
Dear Mrs. Kinomoto (Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Daidouji for the other letters)
We are pleased to announce that you have been invited to Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because of your age and your high magical abilities, you will be placed in 6th year. Since you are currently in Japan, we have packaged airplane tickets that leave at July 18, for you will be staying with Mr. Hirigazawa for the rest of the summer and he will guide you to Diagon Ally to get your proper equipments. We also request that you get to Hogwarts a little earlier than most students to catch up on the previous school year knowledge. 4 people will tutor you the knowledge you are required to know. Their name is Virginia Weasly, Ronald Weasly, Hermoine Granger, and Harry Potter.
Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore
After reading their mail, Meilin was the first one to get over the shock and outburst and yelled out, "Hogwarts? Magical School? Witches? Tutor?" She would have ranted on and on if Syaoran didn't put speak up.
"I believe I could help you on this part, although you would have known, Meilin, if you had paid attention to Oka-san back at Hong Kong where she was telling us details about Hogwarts. Now, I'll explain everything at my apartment."
Everyone just nodded (cept Syaoran of course) and walked off to Syaoran's house.
Meanwhile, back to our favorite survivor
After that dream with Clow Reed in it, Harry couldn't go back to sleep. He was trying to organize the dream in his head but failed miserably. Just then, a brown tawny owl tapped his window. Harry noticed that it was the Hogwarts delivery owl so he let it in, the owl dropped the letter and left. The letter went like this;
Dear Mr. Potter,
We request your presence at Hogwarts early this year. Clow Reed visited me in my dream to tell me that the Card Mistress and her friends are to be invited to Hogwarts and needs tutoring. You, along with three other people, Mr. Weasly, Miss Weasly, and Miss Granger, will have the opportunity to tutor these fine young people about the knowledge of Hogwarts. If you reject this letter, I completely understand, however, I request your owl as soon as possible, if you do accept this opportunity, then you will stay at Mr. Hirigazawa's house at July 18, he will come and pick you up personally, he is also your new DADA teacher. Please consider accepting for this is a rare opportunity, that is all.
Albus Dumbledore
Harry could not believe this letter for this is exactly what Clow Reed wanted him to do. He stared at this letter for a couple of minutes trying to absorb all that is happening, then quickly took out a parchment and a quill and wrote the reply that he will accept the opportunity. He gave it to Hedwig and told her to bring it to Dumbledore. With all the excitement that took place, Harry felt exhausted and fell asleep right away wondering about the interesting year that he will have.
Back to Japan
Syaoran just finished his explanation of Hogwarts and witches and wizard and other various information that needed clearing up.
Meilin was the first to speak up, "so what you're saying, dear cousin, is that we are invited to a magical school," Syaoran nodded, "and that me and Tomoyo-chan,"
"Tomoyo-chan and I", corrected Syaoran,
"k, Tomoyo-chan and I are witches when we are suppose to have no magical power whatsoever." Syaoran nodded again.
After a few second passed, both Meilin and Tomoyo shrieked, "THAT IS SOOOOOO AWSOME!!!!! I HAVE MAGIC TOO!!!" They started dancing around the room while Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped heavily.
Sakura turned to Syaoran and asked, "So Syaoran-Kun, is that mean we're going to have to call Eriol-Kun."
Syaoran sneered and said, "yes, but I'm certainly not calling that demented- so-called-my-ancestor magician."
Sakura laugh nervously at the adjectives he described Eriol and decided that she should do the calling. "Hello, Eriol-kun?" Said Sakura.
"Ah, Sakura-san, how nice of you to call me, how is Tomoyo-san, Meilin-san, and my cute little descendant?" Replied Eriol.
Unfortunately, Sakura had it on speaker phone so Syaoran heard and started yelling out, "I'M NOT YOUR CUTE LITTLE DESCENDANT, YOU RETARDED BAKA!!!" And he shouted some more curse word in English because he doesn't want Sakura to think he's a bad guy.
"Tsk, Tsk, now, now my cute little descendant, you have a very bad mouth, how in the world will Sakura-san be able to kiss you?" Teased Eriol. Even though Eriol called Syaoran cute descendant, the last comment made him red with embarrassment. Sakura, also hearing this, blushed mercilessly while Tomoyo is taping them and Meilin is muttering something about lovesick bakas who won't admit their love. Then Eriol's voice became a little bit more serious, "Now, I'm sure you called me because of Hogwarts, am I correct?" After hearing the reply yes, Eriol continued, "Then I will pick you up at July 18, I will tell you more about why you're going exactly for I don't want to explain this over the phone, until then, good bye."
After the conversation with Eriol, each went off in their own separate ways to tell their parents about Hogwarts.
Tomoyo's house, err, I mean mansion
Tomoyo was in her mansion going to her mom's study to tell her about Hogwarts. But since Tomoyo's mom does not know about magic, she decided to tell her it's a boarding school in England instead.
Tomoyo knocks on her mom's study door, a quick reply of come in could be heard and she enters.
"Oh, Tomoyo, I'm glad you came in, I actually have something to tell you." said Sonomi. "I just got off the phone with the American company called Toys R US and I have to go over to seal a contract. Now, you could come with me, or you could stay here with Sakura's family, what do you want to do?" Asked Sonomi. Tomoyo couldn't believe her luck, since she didn't like the idea of leaving her mother and realize that she doesn't exactly have to for her mother is leaving first.
"Actually, Oka-san," replied Tomoyo, "I just got a letter from a boarding school in England to attend there. Sakura is also going and I was wondering if I could go too."
"Boarding school in England?" said Sonomi. After seeing her daughter nod, she looked her straight in the eye and asked her, "tell me, dear daughter, is this boarding school you're going called Hogwarts?"
Now that shocked Tomoyo extremely. Here she thought her mother didn't know any magical stuff and realize that she knows about the school she is about to attend, a magical school in this case.
"H-how?" Stuttered Tomoyo.
Sonomi softly smiled at her daughter and replied, "when I was 11, I was best friend with Nedeshinko, I would always help her with problem she's having, and she would always help me too, kinda like you and Sakura. One day, she's got a letter that she was to attend a magical boarding school at England, and she told me all about magic, like how she told me she has second sights and is able to see spiritual things, I did not believe it at first but I was sad that she was leaving. Of course, she visited every holidays and play with me in the summer. She stopped going to Hogwarts at 16, where she fell from a tree and landed in Kinomoto-san's arm and fell in love with him."
Tomoyo could only nod at the explanation for she was still shocked at the fact that her mother knew about Hogwarts.
Sonomi, smile never leaving her face, told her daughter this, "When Nedeshinko was attending Hogwarts, I gave her money to put it into the bank of Hogwarts, hoping that one day, and my children could attend Hogwarts just like Nedeshinko. With the interests over the years, the money in the bank should have gotten pretty big, but just in case there is too little, take more money." Then she got a suitcase and opened it and in there was about a million dollars.
Tomoyo was shocked at the amount of money and looked at her mother with confused eyes. Sonomi said, "I changed yens to American money since people at Hogwarts are English and I don't want them to misunderstand yens."
Tomoyo nodded. "Now, here is your vault key, if you want, you could share some of your money with Sakura, although she should have her mom's vault which should contain a lot of money. Now go pack, and try to get a good night sleep."
Tomoyo just nodded and walk out of Sonomi's study shock never leaving her face.
Let's look at our Cherry Blossom
Sakura walked into the room and yelled, "Kero, I'm home." Then she saw her brother in the living room and her brother said,
"No hi's for me, Kaijouu?"
Sakura walked up to him and kicked his shin and smiled, replying, "hello, oni-chan," and Touya jumped up and down and up and down. When it became dinnertime and their whole family was eating (including Kero),
Sakura decided to tell them, "I have something to say." They all looked at her with questioning eyes.
Sakura took a deep breath and said, "I have been invited to Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I was wondering if I could go." Of course, no one was surprised by the name but by the announcement but quickly gotten over it.
Her dad replied, "of course, Sakura, you could attend."
Touya protested, "but Otu-san, Hogwarts is half way around the globe!!" Then realizing that he was showing his concerns for Sakura, he quickly reverted into his teasing mode, "I mean, I know Sakura could take care of herself, having Kaijou blood, it's the people there that I'm worried about."
Before Sakura could retort, Kero said, "If you're going to Hogwarts, then I'm going with you, as your guardian, I must protect my mistress." Kero was trying to get into a bodyguard stance but ended up doing Statue of Liberty stance.
Sakura's dad, ignoring all the chaos, said to his daughter, "but Sakura, I must warn you, Hogwarts is very hard, I myself being the half reincarnation of Clow Reed attended there and it's no piece of cake."
"DID SOMEONE SAY CAKE!!?!?" Kero interacted.
Clearing his throats, Fujitaka continued, "And not only that, but Hogwarts has many mysteries that you have to be careful about."
Sakura replied, "Don't worry dad, Syaoran" before she could continued she was cut off by two voices,
"THE GAKI IS ALSO GOING TO HOGWART? THEN YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT GOING!! I WILL NOT LET MY SISTER/MISTRESS BE IN THE SAME SCHOOL AS THE GAKI!!"
Sakura fumed and yelled, "SYAORAN IS NOT A GAKI!!" Then turned to her father in a cheery mood voice and continued, "Syaoran knows a lot about Hogwarts since lot of his family attended there, and Professor Dumbledore got Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and I tutors so we could catch up." After hearing the explanation, Fujitaka smiled and told her daughter to go pack up. Sakura left the room joyfully while the two beings bickered to Fujitaka about how he could let Sakura be in the same school with the gaki.
Time gap to July 18
Sakura's family and Tomoyo's mother came out to the airport to wish them well and say good-bye.
Touya glared directly at Syaoran before extending his hand out to him and said, "You better make sure no horny and desperate boys touch my sister, gaki."
Syaoran was surprised at this gesture but extended his hand to shake Touya's and replied, "You need not to worry for I will protect her with my life." The others smiled at Syaoran's bold words but return to bidding them good byes.
Fujitaka turned to Sakura and gave her a package. When she looked at her questioning eyes, he replied, "this was the key to your mother's vault in Gringotts, after all, you need money buy your supplies." Sakura nodded in understanding and hugged her dad goodbye.
Before they went in, Fujitaka said, "Oh, before I forget, Yukito will join you in England for Yue wishes to be near his mistress."
With that said, they waved goodbyes but not before they boarded the plane did Touya's voice drifted through the crowd, "If you touch my sister, Gaki, I will hunt you down and kill you!!"
To Harry Potter!!
Harry was packing up as quickly as he can for tomorrow was the day he was being picked up (in Asia, one day is faster than the Western region, for example, if today is 19 in Japan, it's 18 in England). Even though the Durslys were treating him a little bit better because of the threat Mad Eye Moody gave to them last time, he still couldn't wait to get out the wretched house and join his friends.
Uncle Vernon came up and shouted to the Harry, although not to loudly, "what's with all this ruckus? And why are you packing up for that wizard's school? It's not August yet!"
Harry sighed and replied, "I know that uncle, but I was given a notice to come to Hogwarts early this year for I am tutoring transfer students from Japan."
Uncle Vernon, with that explanation, just grumbled about the noise and told him to keep it down. Harry, finally alone, just packed up the last materials he needed and fell asleep, hoping that tomorrow would be better than today.
July 18 in England's airport
The Cardcaptor gang has just landed in England but Eriol was nowhere in sight. They tried locating him through magical senses but it seems that he blocked out his aura probably to annoy them, especially Syaoran.
"Arg, where is that demented magician? He said he meet us here at the airport but is he here? Noooo, that stupid demented magician had to hide his stupid aura too so we can't trace him!!" Syaoran bickered on and on while the others just sweatdropped at all the commotion he's making just because Eriol is currently late by a minute. Just then, someone tapped Syaoran on the shoulder causing him to viciously turn around only to face the one person in this entire world he doesn't want to see.
"YOU, WHY ARE YOU SO FREAIKING LATE!!!" Yelled Syaoran. Eriol just stood there smiling until Tomoyo and Sakura hugged him in greeting and Meilin and him exchanged acknowledgement.
"Sorry I was late, I was held up at traffic, but I didn't know my cute little descendant would worry about me so much just because I was absent by one minute." Teased Eriol. Syaoran was beyond fuming now but before he could do anything, the girls dragged the guys outside so they could take get in the car.
In there was Nakuru driving with Suppi in shotgun. It was a limo obviously, considering Eriol is rich. Nakuru spoke over the telephone the limos have, "Konichiwa Minna-san!!!! It's been sooooo long!!! It's too bad my dear precious Touya-kun ain't here but I'm sure we'll have fun!!!" The CCS gang all sweatdropped at Nakuru's hyper ness but didn't say anything.
"Oh, before we go to my house, we have to stop off at Harry Potter, one of your tutor, house and pick him up. Is that ok?" After seeing their nod, Eriol signaled Nakuru to go.
Meanwhile
Harry was downstairs with his owl cage, his trunk, and his broom ready to leave as soon as possible. The Dursly's stayed out of the way for they didn't want to face the wizards. When Harry looked out the window, he saw a shiny black limousine driving to his house and he wondered if that was his ride. A boy with blue hair and glasses came up to his house to ring the doorbell. Harry was greeted by him and soon led to the house. They drove in silence for they didn't know what to say. When they reached Eriol's house, it was obviously clear that this was no house, but a mansion, the biggest one they seen in their lives. After they got off and unloaded their stuff, they started the introduction. Unfortunately, Sakura didn't know English so Eriol used a magical spell to clear up the language barrier.
"Hello, my name is Sakura Kinomoto, it's nice to meet you." Harry shook her hand.
"Tomoyo Daidouji, a pleasure." He also shook her hand.
"Syaoran Li." He stiffed a little but shook his hand anyway.
"Eriol Hirigazawa." Harry thought this must be the son of his new DADA professor but oh, how wrong he is. When he got to Meilin, he realize that she was one of the most beautiful girls he ever seen. In a way, she looked like Cho but she looked more active and cuter. For Meilin, even though Syaoran WAS her ideal guy, he found this English gentleman very attractive.
"Meilin Li, it's a pleasure to see you." Meilin whispered and extended her hand.
Harry, for the first time in his life did something he did to no other girls, took her hand and kissed it, "Harry Potter, it's my pleasure to see you, Miss Li."
Meilin became a little red but her heart fluttered with joy while Harry just realized what he has done and turned bright red. Sakura and Tomoyo saw this and whispered small kawaii to each other while Syaoran was thanking God for finally making Meilin like another and Eriol was just watching with amusing eyes.
"I didn't know you had it in you, Harry." Harry froze and turned around to see Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny at the door. Harry smiled and ran up to them and hugged them, ignoring the hooting by Ron.
A loud ahem broke the silence and they all gathered in the living room. After finishing up the introduction, Eriol began to speak, "now, I will start explaining some things so don't interrupt. First off, Sakura-san, you know that you are to be tutored by these people right?" After seeing her nod, he continued, "but what you didn't know after your tutoring ends, Harry's tutoring begins."
After seeing confuse look on the CCS faces, he continued, "What I mean is that Harry here needs to be train by you and Syaoran-kun so he could fight Voldermort in the near future." The Weaslys flinched but said nothing. Eriol then turned to the HP gang and said, "Now I assume you all got a letter to tutor them, is that correct?" After seeing their nod, he continued, "and I'm guessing, Harry, is that Clow Reed came to you in a dream and told you that you will be trained personally by the Card Mistress?"
Harry was about to reply but was interrupted by Hermoine, Ron and Ginny. "YOU MET CLOW REED?!?!?! THE GREATEST SORCERER IN THE MILLENIUM?? THE ONE WHO COMBINED EASTERN MAGIC AND WESTERN MAGIC TO CREATE THE CLOW CARDS???" After a breather, they started again, "YOU MET THE CARD MISTRESS? THE PERSON'S A GIRL?? HOW DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?? IS SHE POWERFUL LIKE EVERYBODY SAYS?!?!?"
Everybody flinched at the noise but decided to ignore it while Eriol was just looking at them amusingly. Realizing that others were present, the threesome blushed. Eriol smiled and continued, "Yes, Harry has met Clow Reed in a dream, now, I believe it's time for some reintroduction."
Seeing the confused look on HP gangs face, he motioned Sakura to talk. "Hello, I am Sakura Kinomoto, age 16, currently the mistress of the Sakura Cards, once known as Clow Cards." The HP gangs jaws dropped to the ground, even Harry for he didn't know this information.
Eriol smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Eriol Hirigazawa, age 16, and half reincarnation of Clow Reed." Now their jaws couldn't go through the ground but had more shocks written over his face.
Eriol smiled amusingly and said, "Now that's done, let's get our stuff from Diagon Ally." HP gang, realizing their impoliteness, blushes and murmured a sorry.
Hermoine was the first to speak up, "Can you show us the Clow, I mean, Sakura Cards?" Sakura, looking at Eriol who nodded, released her staff with this incantation (I don't know the exact incantation, so I'm gonna make it up. If you know what it is, please tell me, until then, I'm sticking with this one.)
"Key that holds the power of my star, reveal yourself to me. I, Sakura Kinomoto, call upon you under the contract we made. Release!" The HP gang watched with wonder as the staff became larger with the star on the tip with wings on the side. Then Sakura called forth Flowery to rain down cherry blossoms as a demonstration. The HP gang awed at this.
Eriol smiled and waved his hand and all the flowers disappeared. "Now, we could have more demonstrations later on, but we really need to go get our stuff before it turns dark." Everyone nodded at this.
"Now, we're going to travel by floo powder." Eriol said.
Confuse looks came from the CCS girls, this time Syaoran explained. "You grab a couple of sand that Hirigazawa is holding, throw it into the fireplace, step in the fire, and yell out your destination, in our case, Leaky Cauldron." At the mention of stepping in the fire, the girls got a horror look on her face and looked at Syaoran as if he was crazy. Sighing, he got some sand from Eriol, threw it in the fire which made the fire turn green, then stepped in and yelled Leaky Cauldron and he disappeared. Amazed at what just happened, Meilin went up to Eriol, did the same thing as her cousin and immediately vanish. Tomoyo and Sakura immediately followed the suit and were transported to Leaky Cauldron as well.
Leaky Cauldron
Sakura landed perfectly on her feet and looked around her surroundings and was a little creeped out. Strange creatures were sitting on tables, reading a book, drinking beer, playing with cards, and such. She heard swoosh sounds behind her back and look to see that Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, and Eriol have arrived.
After everybody was on their feet, Eriol went up to the bartender, "Hello, Tom, how's it going?" The bartender looked up and replied, "Mr. Hirigazawa!! It's been a long time since you honor us with your presence, so how many rooms shall it be?"
Eriol looked back and counted and replied, "We'll need two rooms, one with 4 beds and one with 5, give us the best one you got." The bartender smiled and gave him two keys. After pocketing the two keys, he motioned the others to follow him.
They got around the back where there was nothing but a trashcan and a brick wall. "Gee, Hirigazawa, I thought you were suppose to take us to Diagon Ally, not some pub's backyard." Syaoran mocked.
Eriol just smiled at him, which infuriated Syaoran and got out a wand and tapped the walls in a rhythmic pattern. Soon, the walls began to deform and make a pathway for the whole crew. The HP gang, already experienced it in the past wasn't surprised but the CCS gangs mouths were wide open with shock. Eriol made a grand sweeping bow and said, "Welcome, my friends, to Diagon Ally."
After getting over their initial shock, they took a grand tour. Tomoyo turned on her video camera only to find it dead and whined. Eriol, seeing this, said, "Tomoyo-san, the reason why you're vid cam doesn't work is in the wizarding world, there is an ancient spell that keeps electronic equipment from working," he paused to see the horror written on Tomoyo's face, "however, if you wish, I could enchant your camera so it will work in the wizarding world too." Tomoyo was so happy with this fact that she jumped to hug Eriol, of course, Eriol could have sensed her movement but didn't move and return the hug. Sakura and Meilin were about to yell kawaii but found out that their voice was gone and glared at Eriol who smiled ever so innocently. He enchanted the camera and removed the spell and explained, "ok, first, we have to go get your money, I'm guessing all of you" pointed to the HP gang "has your vault ready," at this, they nodded, "and the Li Clan already has a vault," Syaoran and Meilin nodded, "and Sakura's mother has a vault made for both Tomoyo-san and Sakura-san." Sakura and Tomoyo nodded at this. "Good, then lets go to Gringotts."
They stopped at a huge marble building that indicates Gringotts bank. And on a plaque, it has a warning that basically says don't steal or you'll pay a great price (ok, I only know the first part "enter strange, but take heed" and the last part "finding more than treasure there" so I'm not gonna write up the threats). Sakura shuddered at the threat but was comforted by Syaoran not to worry for he won't let that happened to her, which earned a kawaii from Tomoyo.
When they went inside, Sakura saw bunch of weird looking creature that was dealing with money and ask Eriol what it was and his answer was simply "goblins." They stopped at one where it was open and went there.
"Hello," Eriol greeted. The goblin looked up, "We would like to draw from the Weasly's vault, Granger's vault, Potter's vault, Li's vault, Amiyama's vault, Reed's vault, and we would like to deposit and withdraw money from Daidouji' vault." The goblin asked for keys and everyone gave it to them. T
he goblin called, "Griphook, take these people to their respected vault, Miss Daidouji, please stay behind to exchange and receive your money." They all nodded and went off.
The cart ride was exhausting for Sakura, the others were used to it and since Syaoran and Meilin and strenuous training, they were able to shake it off, but Sakura was having a extremely hard time keeping a straight face, literally. First, they reached the Weasly's Vault where there was some gold coins which Ron and Ginny scooped some off, then Granger's vault where there was a little more, then Potter's vault where there were a fair amount of gold coins. Then it was the Li's vault turn, they stopped at a vault that had a Chinese writing symbol on the door that represents the Li's. Syaoran handed the goblin his key and the vault was opened. In there was a mountain of gold coins, several rare artifacts of china, and various other stuff. The HP gang and Sakura looked at it with their eyes popping out but the two Li just went in and got their coins. Next was the Amiyama's vault. Sakura handed her key that her father gave to her to the goblin and the vault was opened. In there were a little bit more coins, several ancient artifacts found by Fujitaka himself, jewels, and portraits of Nedeshinko herself.
The HP gangs were really shocked now at the amount of money while Sakura was paralyzed with shock at the thought of all this money being hers. Even the Li's were surprised a little at the amount of money, Eriol just smiled amusingly. Sakura got her bag and filled it up and as she was about to leave, she saw a note addressed to her and opened it. It read;
Dear Sakura,
If you have received this note, that means you have been accepted to Hogwarts. I only wish to say encouraging words. Use this vault's money well, Sakura, for this is now all your property, do not slack off on schoolwork, always be kind to others, and I hope you become the best witch there is. I also want to say that I am truly proud of you, my daughter.
Sincerely,
Your Mother, Nedeshinko Kinomoto
Sakura had little dwellings of tears in her eyes and was about to burst. Syaoran, seeing this, went up to her and put her in his embrace.
He said softly, "Don't cry, Sakura-chan, whatever it is, I'm here with you all the way, so don't you worry." Tomoyo has never missed an S&S opportunity, but this must be an exception since she is waiting for them upstairs. The last vault was to be Reed's vault. Eriol handed the key to the goblin and the vault opened and most of them had to cover their eyes at the brightness of the light inside the vault. In there were more gold coins and jewels and rare artifacts than the other entire vault combined. Everyone, except Eriol, jaws dropped and eyes popped out while Sakura yelled out a hoe, Eriol, pretending not to see this, got up and took some money in it. He motioned Sakura to come into the vault, which she did, and told her that all this money will be now hers since Clow Reed originally left it for the new Card Mistress and Eriol is just borrowing money from her vault.
Sakura would have fainted right there but kept her composure. They return finding Tomoyo waiting for them with her bag of coins. Eriol told them that 14 sickles equals to a Galleon while 29 Knuts equals to a Sickle. They went into get their robes and Tomoyo insisted on adding more designs to their robes. They got their several books needed for the school year (in Eriol's case, teacher's books), cauldrons, and other stuff except their wands, brooms, and animals.
They came to a shop that indicated Ollivanders, Fine makers of wands since (I don't know the year, tell me!!). They enter and an old dude popped out of nowhere to greet them. "Welcome, children, I'm guessing you're here to get your wand?" When he saw everyone (except HP gang and Eriol) nod, he continued, "Now, who shall go first?" Meilin boldly approached and extended her arm. Mr. Ollivanders reached let the tape measurer measure and took out a box. "Lotus blossom and Chinese dragon's scale, 12 inches, whippy. Give it a wave." Meilin took the wand and waved it and lotus blossoms floated out of the wand. "Yes! First try, very good, 7 Galleons, please." Meilin handed the money, pleased with her new wand.
Next was Tomoyo. After the tape measurer finish measuring, Mr. Ollivanders pulled out a box and gave it to her. "Plum blossoms and purple-colored Raven feather, 10 inches, stiff." Tomoyo waved it and plum blossoms floated out of the wand. "Yes! First try again, must be my lucky day. 7 Galleons, please." Tomoyo handed the money, also pleased with her new wand.
Next was Syaoran, he extended his hand, after finishing the measuring, Mr. Ollivanders pulled out a box. "Unicorn hair and dragon fang, 14 inches, whippy." He waved it and was snatched away immediately to Mr. Ollivanders. After 7 more tries, he found the right box. "This is a rather powerful wand, it's made from a wolf's hair that is the leader of the pack and is fused with phoenix hair from a great sorcerer's phoenix in the past. 14 inches, whippy." Syaoran took hold of the wand and immediately felt his powers merging with the wand as green light emitted from the wand and himself. When the light died down, there was a symbol of the Li clan marked on the wand. "Excellent, that will be 7 Galleons, please." He handed the money, a little bit mystified at what just happened, but shrugged it off.
Sakura stepped forward to take her measure and get her wand. "Hippogriff's tail feather and ebony tree leaves, 11 inches, stiff." She waved it only to have it taken away. After trying out 33 wands, she found the right one. "This wand is made not only by myself, but by a powerful sorcerer from the past, the same sorcerer who's phoenix gave its feather to your friend there. It's composed of a magical cherry blossom tree from Japan, a phoenix feather from the very same sorcerer, star dust from the 1500's, a hair of an angel, and a hair of a lion, 13 inches, stiff." When Sakura took hold of the wand, she too began emitting light, but pink, same with her wand. When the light died down, there was the marking of the magical circle that Sakura has whenever she uses her magic.
"Amazing!!! No living soul was able to control that wand. Since you and your friend there could control it, I'll tell you the sorcerer who helped me create the wand. His name is Clow Reed." The CCS gang and HP gang were surprised to hear that while Eriol smirked. "He told me to keep those two wands very safe and secured until the true owner of those wands take a hold of them. The hair of an angel is the hair of the moon guardian named Yue and the lion is the name of the sun guardian name Keroberos." At this, everybody was shocked except Eriol. "I wish you good luck and don't turn dark for that is a very powerful wand, that will be 7 Galleons please."
After paying and leaving, Syaoran confronted Eriol. "Hirigazawa, answer me straight, did you know we were suppose to receive the most powerful wands there?"
Eriol smirked but answered, "Why of course cute little descendant," Syaoran fumed but waited, "Clow Reed prepared everything that you should require in Hogwarts. Now if we're done talking let's go get our broom supply."
When they went in, CCS gang asked the HP gang which broom they have. Harry says he has the best broom made, which is the Firebolt, while Ron has a Cleansweeper (I think he has a Cleansweeper, right?). Sakura, seeing that Ron is a little jealous that Harry has a better broom, decided to buy Ron a Firebolt. Of course, Ron at first refused profusely since it's too much money but changed his mind immediately when she came back with two Firebolt, one for herself. Ron thanked her numerous times and promise to pay her back when he grows older. Syaoran decided to buy a Firebolt also while Meilin didn't want to fly and Tomoyo only wanted to tape Sakura flying and Eriol is a professor so he doesn't really need a broom.
Next, they went to the get their pets. It was so chaotic in there you don't know from left to right. They all went in different directions in the shop trying to find an animal they like, the HP gang waited outside. Meilin's eyes landed on the most beautiful cat she ever seen in her life. It was pure white with red stripes and kinda big making it look like a white tiger. Meilin immediately bought it and named it Lotus. (I suck at names so bare with me).
Tomoyo was searching for the perfect animal when her eyes landed on the most beautiful cat she ever seen. Unlike Meilin's, it wasn't big but rather small as if it's a newborn and has violet fur and the most endearing blue eyes and she couldn't resist but to buy it and name it Lilac.
Eriol just dawdled around the shop until his eyes landed on an owl with brown feather with streaks of blue in it, and golden eyes. However, it's eyes looked as if filled with mischief and he couldn't help but buy it and name it Clow.
Sakura and Syaoran were buying the pets together, although Syaoran didn't see the point of it. However, both Sakura's and Syaoran's eye landed on a pair of phoenix. One of the phoenixes was red and orange just like other phoenixes but had streaks of pink on its wings and emerald green eyes. The other one was also red and orange but had streaks of green on its wings and golden amber eyes. The shopkeeper warned them, "don't get too close, they scratch and peck whoever tries to buy them." When Sakura and Syaoran put their hand stretch out, the phoenixes both flew and landed on their arm. The shopkeeper was amazed and said, "bloody hell, I never seen them do that before. It's as if you were chosen to buy those phoenixes. Since they only seem to go with you, I'll make it cheap and charge 20 Galleons for both phoenixes." Sakura insisted on paying half but Syaoran refused and paid.
Sakura called her phoenix Nedeshinko while Syaoran named his Ryuren. They all gather their stuff and went back to Leaky Cauldron.
To Be Continued
How was it? Good? Bad? I hope you consider reviewing. In case you were wondering why I titled it meeting old enemies, Eriol is kinda their enemy from their past since he made them do all those tests and stuff, and he'll forever be Syaoran's enemy. Oh, and give me your opinion on the good guy/bad guy thing for Draco. That is all, have a nice day.
Disclaimer: I repeat, I do not own CCS or Harry Potter, if I did, this would be on the IMAX movie theater.
Chapter 2: Meeting with old enemy and trip to Diagon Ally
Recap on the last chapter
"Ahh, I'm so glad school ended, I thought I was going to faint." Said Sakura while stretching cutely making Syaoran blush. Of course, Meilin and Tomoyo did not miss this but kept to themselves for once. Just then, they saw four owls in the sky carrying what seems to be a letter.
"Owls? In Japan? At this time of the day?" questioned Sakura, all confused. Syaoran just stand there with an understanding look on his face while Meilin and Tomoyo were also confused (even though Meilin is from the Li clan, I have the suspicion that she only trained Martial arts and not study magical history).
Just then, the owls swooped down and dropped the letters right in front of the Cardcaptor gang. They all picked it up and saw that it has a strange seal on it and has symbols of different animals. Sakura first opened hers and when she was done reading, her mouth was wide open. Tomoyo, seeing this, also opened hers and read it and her mouth dropped twice as much as Sakura. Meilin, seeing this two action, opened hers and read it and her action was, "what the heck is this thing?!?!?"
Now on with this chapter
The letter went something like this;
Dear Mrs. Kinomoto (Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Daidouji for the other letters)
We are pleased to announce that you have been invited to Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because of your age and your high magical abilities, you will be placed in 6th year. Since you are currently in Japan, we have packaged airplane tickets that leave at July 18, for you will be staying with Mr. Hirigazawa for the rest of the summer and he will guide you to Diagon Ally to get your proper equipments. We also request that you get to Hogwarts a little earlier than most students to catch up on the previous school year knowledge. 4 people will tutor you the knowledge you are required to know. Their name is Virginia Weasly, Ronald Weasly, Hermoine Granger, and Harry Potter.
Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore
After reading their mail, Meilin was the first one to get over the shock and outburst and yelled out, "Hogwarts? Magical School? Witches? Tutor?" She would have ranted on and on if Syaoran didn't put speak up.
"I believe I could help you on this part, although you would have known, Meilin, if you had paid attention to Oka-san back at Hong Kong where she was telling us details about Hogwarts. Now, I'll explain everything at my apartment."
Everyone just nodded (cept Syaoran of course) and walked off to Syaoran's house.
Meanwhile, back to our favorite survivor
After that dream with Clow Reed in it, Harry couldn't go back to sleep. He was trying to organize the dream in his head but failed miserably. Just then, a brown tawny owl tapped his window. Harry noticed that it was the Hogwarts delivery owl so he let it in, the owl dropped the letter and left. The letter went like this;
Dear Mr. Potter,
We request your presence at Hogwarts early this year. Clow Reed visited me in my dream to tell me that the Card Mistress and her friends are to be invited to Hogwarts and needs tutoring. You, along with three other people, Mr. Weasly, Miss Weasly, and Miss Granger, will have the opportunity to tutor these fine young people about the knowledge of Hogwarts. If you reject this letter, I completely understand, however, I request your owl as soon as possible, if you do accept this opportunity, then you will stay at Mr. Hirigazawa's house at July 18, he will come and pick you up personally, he is also your new DADA teacher. Please consider accepting for this is a rare opportunity, that is all.
Albus Dumbledore
Harry could not believe this letter for this is exactly what Clow Reed wanted him to do. He stared at this letter for a couple of minutes trying to absorb all that is happening, then quickly took out a parchment and a quill and wrote the reply that he will accept the opportunity. He gave it to Hedwig and told her to bring it to Dumbledore. With all the excitement that took place, Harry felt exhausted and fell asleep right away wondering about the interesting year that he will have.
Back to Japan
Syaoran just finished his explanation of Hogwarts and witches and wizard and other various information that needed clearing up.
Meilin was the first to speak up, "so what you're saying, dear cousin, is that we are invited to a magical school," Syaoran nodded, "and that me and Tomoyo-chan,"
"Tomoyo-chan and I", corrected Syaoran,
"k, Tomoyo-chan and I are witches when we are suppose to have no magical power whatsoever." Syaoran nodded again.
After a few second passed, both Meilin and Tomoyo shrieked, "THAT IS SOOOOOO AWSOME!!!!! I HAVE MAGIC TOO!!!" They started dancing around the room while Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped heavily.
Sakura turned to Syaoran and asked, "So Syaoran-Kun, is that mean we're going to have to call Eriol-Kun."
Syaoran sneered and said, "yes, but I'm certainly not calling that demented- so-called-my-ancestor magician."
Sakura laugh nervously at the adjectives he described Eriol and decided that she should do the calling. "Hello, Eriol-kun?" Said Sakura.
"Ah, Sakura-san, how nice of you to call me, how is Tomoyo-san, Meilin-san, and my cute little descendant?" Replied Eriol.
Unfortunately, Sakura had it on speaker phone so Syaoran heard and started yelling out, "I'M NOT YOUR CUTE LITTLE DESCENDANT, YOU RETARDED BAKA!!!" And he shouted some more curse word in English because he doesn't want Sakura to think he's a bad guy.
"Tsk, Tsk, now, now my cute little descendant, you have a very bad mouth, how in the world will Sakura-san be able to kiss you?" Teased Eriol. Even though Eriol called Syaoran cute descendant, the last comment made him red with embarrassment. Sakura, also hearing this, blushed mercilessly while Tomoyo is taping them and Meilin is muttering something about lovesick bakas who won't admit their love. Then Eriol's voice became a little bit more serious, "Now, I'm sure you called me because of Hogwarts, am I correct?" After hearing the reply yes, Eriol continued, "Then I will pick you up at July 18, I will tell you more about why you're going exactly for I don't want to explain this over the phone, until then, good bye."
After the conversation with Eriol, each went off in their own separate ways to tell their parents about Hogwarts.
Tomoyo's house, err, I mean mansion
Tomoyo was in her mansion going to her mom's study to tell her about Hogwarts. But since Tomoyo's mom does not know about magic, she decided to tell her it's a boarding school in England instead.
Tomoyo knocks on her mom's study door, a quick reply of come in could be heard and she enters.
"Oh, Tomoyo, I'm glad you came in, I actually have something to tell you." said Sonomi. "I just got off the phone with the American company called Toys R US and I have to go over to seal a contract. Now, you could come with me, or you could stay here with Sakura's family, what do you want to do?" Asked Sonomi. Tomoyo couldn't believe her luck, since she didn't like the idea of leaving her mother and realize that she doesn't exactly have to for her mother is leaving first.
"Actually, Oka-san," replied Tomoyo, "I just got a letter from a boarding school in England to attend there. Sakura is also going and I was wondering if I could go too."
"Boarding school in England?" said Sonomi. After seeing her daughter nod, she looked her straight in the eye and asked her, "tell me, dear daughter, is this boarding school you're going called Hogwarts?"
Now that shocked Tomoyo extremely. Here she thought her mother didn't know any magical stuff and realize that she knows about the school she is about to attend, a magical school in this case.
"H-how?" Stuttered Tomoyo.
Sonomi softly smiled at her daughter and replied, "when I was 11, I was best friend with Nedeshinko, I would always help her with problem she's having, and she would always help me too, kinda like you and Sakura. One day, she's got a letter that she was to attend a magical boarding school at England, and she told me all about magic, like how she told me she has second sights and is able to see spiritual things, I did not believe it at first but I was sad that she was leaving. Of course, she visited every holidays and play with me in the summer. She stopped going to Hogwarts at 16, where she fell from a tree and landed in Kinomoto-san's arm and fell in love with him."
Tomoyo could only nod at the explanation for she was still shocked at the fact that her mother knew about Hogwarts.
Sonomi, smile never leaving her face, told her daughter this, "When Nedeshinko was attending Hogwarts, I gave her money to put it into the bank of Hogwarts, hoping that one day, and my children could attend Hogwarts just like Nedeshinko. With the interests over the years, the money in the bank should have gotten pretty big, but just in case there is too little, take more money." Then she got a suitcase and opened it and in there was about a million dollars.
Tomoyo was shocked at the amount of money and looked at her mother with confused eyes. Sonomi said, "I changed yens to American money since people at Hogwarts are English and I don't want them to misunderstand yens."
Tomoyo nodded. "Now, here is your vault key, if you want, you could share some of your money with Sakura, although she should have her mom's vault which should contain a lot of money. Now go pack, and try to get a good night sleep."
Tomoyo just nodded and walk out of Sonomi's study shock never leaving her face.
Let's look at our Cherry Blossom
Sakura walked into the room and yelled, "Kero, I'm home." Then she saw her brother in the living room and her brother said,
"No hi's for me, Kaijouu?"
Sakura walked up to him and kicked his shin and smiled, replying, "hello, oni-chan," and Touya jumped up and down and up and down. When it became dinnertime and their whole family was eating (including Kero),
Sakura decided to tell them, "I have something to say." They all looked at her with questioning eyes.
Sakura took a deep breath and said, "I have been invited to Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I was wondering if I could go." Of course, no one was surprised by the name but by the announcement but quickly gotten over it.
Her dad replied, "of course, Sakura, you could attend."
Touya protested, "but Otu-san, Hogwarts is half way around the globe!!" Then realizing that he was showing his concerns for Sakura, he quickly reverted into his teasing mode, "I mean, I know Sakura could take care of herself, having Kaijou blood, it's the people there that I'm worried about."
Before Sakura could retort, Kero said, "If you're going to Hogwarts, then I'm going with you, as your guardian, I must protect my mistress." Kero was trying to get into a bodyguard stance but ended up doing Statue of Liberty stance.
Sakura's dad, ignoring all the chaos, said to his daughter, "but Sakura, I must warn you, Hogwarts is very hard, I myself being the half reincarnation of Clow Reed attended there and it's no piece of cake."
"DID SOMEONE SAY CAKE!!?!?" Kero interacted.
Clearing his throats, Fujitaka continued, "And not only that, but Hogwarts has many mysteries that you have to be careful about."
Sakura replied, "Don't worry dad, Syaoran" before she could continued she was cut off by two voices,
"THE GAKI IS ALSO GOING TO HOGWART? THEN YOU ARE DEFINATELY NOT GOING!! I WILL NOT LET MY SISTER/MISTRESS BE IN THE SAME SCHOOL AS THE GAKI!!"
Sakura fumed and yelled, "SYAORAN IS NOT A GAKI!!" Then turned to her father in a cheery mood voice and continued, "Syaoran knows a lot about Hogwarts since lot of his family attended there, and Professor Dumbledore got Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and I tutors so we could catch up." After hearing the explanation, Fujitaka smiled and told her daughter to go pack up. Sakura left the room joyfully while the two beings bickered to Fujitaka about how he could let Sakura be in the same school with the gaki.
Time gap to July 18
Sakura's family and Tomoyo's mother came out to the airport to wish them well and say good-bye.
Touya glared directly at Syaoran before extending his hand out to him and said, "You better make sure no horny and desperate boys touch my sister, gaki."
Syaoran was surprised at this gesture but extended his hand to shake Touya's and replied, "You need not to worry for I will protect her with my life." The others smiled at Syaoran's bold words but return to bidding them good byes.
Fujitaka turned to Sakura and gave her a package. When she looked at her questioning eyes, he replied, "this was the key to your mother's vault in Gringotts, after all, you need money buy your supplies." Sakura nodded in understanding and hugged her dad goodbye.
Before they went in, Fujitaka said, "Oh, before I forget, Yukito will join you in England for Yue wishes to be near his mistress."
With that said, they waved goodbyes but not before they boarded the plane did Touya's voice drifted through the crowd, "If you touch my sister, Gaki, I will hunt you down and kill you!!"
To Harry Potter!!
Harry was packing up as quickly as he can for tomorrow was the day he was being picked up (in Asia, one day is faster than the Western region, for example, if today is 19 in Japan, it's 18 in England). Even though the Durslys were treating him a little bit better because of the threat Mad Eye Moody gave to them last time, he still couldn't wait to get out the wretched house and join his friends.
Uncle Vernon came up and shouted to the Harry, although not to loudly, "what's with all this ruckus? And why are you packing up for that wizard's school? It's not August yet!"
Harry sighed and replied, "I know that uncle, but I was given a notice to come to Hogwarts early this year for I am tutoring transfer students from Japan."
Uncle Vernon, with that explanation, just grumbled about the noise and told him to keep it down. Harry, finally alone, just packed up the last materials he needed and fell asleep, hoping that tomorrow would be better than today.
July 18 in England's airport
The Cardcaptor gang has just landed in England but Eriol was nowhere in sight. They tried locating him through magical senses but it seems that he blocked out his aura probably to annoy them, especially Syaoran.
"Arg, where is that demented magician? He said he meet us here at the airport but is he here? Noooo, that stupid demented magician had to hide his stupid aura too so we can't trace him!!" Syaoran bickered on and on while the others just sweatdropped at all the commotion he's making just because Eriol is currently late by a minute. Just then, someone tapped Syaoran on the shoulder causing him to viciously turn around only to face the one person in this entire world he doesn't want to see.
"YOU, WHY ARE YOU SO FREAIKING LATE!!!" Yelled Syaoran. Eriol just stood there smiling until Tomoyo and Sakura hugged him in greeting and Meilin and him exchanged acknowledgement.
"Sorry I was late, I was held up at traffic, but I didn't know my cute little descendant would worry about me so much just because I was absent by one minute." Teased Eriol. Syaoran was beyond fuming now but before he could do anything, the girls dragged the guys outside so they could take get in the car.
In there was Nakuru driving with Suppi in shotgun. It was a limo obviously, considering Eriol is rich. Nakuru spoke over the telephone the limos have, "Konichiwa Minna-san!!!! It's been sooooo long!!! It's too bad my dear precious Touya-kun ain't here but I'm sure we'll have fun!!!" The CCS gang all sweatdropped at Nakuru's hyper ness but didn't say anything.
"Oh, before we go to my house, we have to stop off at Harry Potter, one of your tutor, house and pick him up. Is that ok?" After seeing their nod, Eriol signaled Nakuru to go.
Meanwhile
Harry was downstairs with his owl cage, his trunk, and his broom ready to leave as soon as possible. The Dursly's stayed out of the way for they didn't want to face the wizards. When Harry looked out the window, he saw a shiny black limousine driving to his house and he wondered if that was his ride. A boy with blue hair and glasses came up to his house to ring the doorbell. Harry was greeted by him and soon led to the house. They drove in silence for they didn't know what to say. When they reached Eriol's house, it was obviously clear that this was no house, but a mansion, the biggest one they seen in their lives. After they got off and unloaded their stuff, they started the introduction. Unfortunately, Sakura didn't know English so Eriol used a magical spell to clear up the language barrier.
"Hello, my name is Sakura Kinomoto, it's nice to meet you." Harry shook her hand.
"Tomoyo Daidouji, a pleasure." He also shook her hand.
"Syaoran Li." He stiffed a little but shook his hand anyway.
"Eriol Hirigazawa." Harry thought this must be the son of his new DADA professor but oh, how wrong he is. When he got to Meilin, he realize that she was one of the most beautiful girls he ever seen. In a way, she looked like Cho but she looked more active and cuter. For Meilin, even though Syaoran WAS her ideal guy, he found this English gentleman very attractive.
"Meilin Li, it's a pleasure to see you." Meilin whispered and extended her hand.
Harry, for the first time in his life did something he did to no other girls, took her hand and kissed it, "Harry Potter, it's my pleasure to see you, Miss Li."
Meilin became a little red but her heart fluttered with joy while Harry just realized what he has done and turned bright red. Sakura and Tomoyo saw this and whispered small kawaii to each other while Syaoran was thanking God for finally making Meilin like another and Eriol was just watching with amusing eyes.
"I didn't know you had it in you, Harry." Harry froze and turned around to see Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny at the door. Harry smiled and ran up to them and hugged them, ignoring the hooting by Ron.
A loud ahem broke the silence and they all gathered in the living room. After finishing up the introduction, Eriol began to speak, "now, I will start explaining some things so don't interrupt. First off, Sakura-san, you know that you are to be tutored by these people right?" After seeing her nod, he continued, "but what you didn't know after your tutoring ends, Harry's tutoring begins."
After seeing confuse look on the CCS faces, he continued, "What I mean is that Harry here needs to be train by you and Syaoran-kun so he could fight Voldermort in the near future." The Weaslys flinched but said nothing. Eriol then turned to the HP gang and said, "Now I assume you all got a letter to tutor them, is that correct?" After seeing their nod, he continued, "and I'm guessing, Harry, is that Clow Reed came to you in a dream and told you that you will be trained personally by the Card Mistress?"
Harry was about to reply but was interrupted by Hermoine, Ron and Ginny. "YOU MET CLOW REED?!?!?! THE GREATEST SORCERER IN THE MILLENIUM?? THE ONE WHO COMBINED EASTERN MAGIC AND WESTERN MAGIC TO CREATE THE CLOW CARDS???" After a breather, they started again, "YOU MET THE CARD MISTRESS? THE PERSON'S A GIRL?? HOW DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?? IS SHE POWERFUL LIKE EVERYBODY SAYS?!?!?"
Everybody flinched at the noise but decided to ignore it while Eriol was just looking at them amusingly. Realizing that others were present, the threesome blushed. Eriol smiled and continued, "Yes, Harry has met Clow Reed in a dream, now, I believe it's time for some reintroduction."
Seeing the confused look on HP gangs face, he motioned Sakura to talk. "Hello, I am Sakura Kinomoto, age 16, currently the mistress of the Sakura Cards, once known as Clow Cards." The HP gangs jaws dropped to the ground, even Harry for he didn't know this information.
Eriol smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Eriol Hirigazawa, age 16, and half reincarnation of Clow Reed." Now their jaws couldn't go through the ground but had more shocks written over his face.
Eriol smiled amusingly and said, "Now that's done, let's get our stuff from Diagon Ally." HP gang, realizing their impoliteness, blushes and murmured a sorry.
Hermoine was the first to speak up, "Can you show us the Clow, I mean, Sakura Cards?" Sakura, looking at Eriol who nodded, released her staff with this incantation (I don't know the exact incantation, so I'm gonna make it up. If you know what it is, please tell me, until then, I'm sticking with this one.)
"Key that holds the power of my star, reveal yourself to me. I, Sakura Kinomoto, call upon you under the contract we made. Release!" The HP gang watched with wonder as the staff became larger with the star on the tip with wings on the side. Then Sakura called forth Flowery to rain down cherry blossoms as a demonstration. The HP gang awed at this.
Eriol smiled and waved his hand and all the flowers disappeared. "Now, we could have more demonstrations later on, but we really need to go get our stuff before it turns dark." Everyone nodded at this.
"Now, we're going to travel by floo powder." Eriol said.
Confuse looks came from the CCS girls, this time Syaoran explained. "You grab a couple of sand that Hirigazawa is holding, throw it into the fireplace, step in the fire, and yell out your destination, in our case, Leaky Cauldron." At the mention of stepping in the fire, the girls got a horror look on her face and looked at Syaoran as if he was crazy. Sighing, he got some sand from Eriol, threw it in the fire which made the fire turn green, then stepped in and yelled Leaky Cauldron and he disappeared. Amazed at what just happened, Meilin went up to Eriol, did the same thing as her cousin and immediately vanish. Tomoyo and Sakura immediately followed the suit and were transported to Leaky Cauldron as well.
Leaky Cauldron
Sakura landed perfectly on her feet and looked around her surroundings and was a little creeped out. Strange creatures were sitting on tables, reading a book, drinking beer, playing with cards, and such. She heard swoosh sounds behind her back and look to see that Harry, Ron, Hermoine, Ginny, and Eriol have arrived.
After everybody was on their feet, Eriol went up to the bartender, "Hello, Tom, how's it going?" The bartender looked up and replied, "Mr. Hirigazawa!! It's been a long time since you honor us with your presence, so how many rooms shall it be?"
Eriol looked back and counted and replied, "We'll need two rooms, one with 4 beds and one with 5, give us the best one you got." The bartender smiled and gave him two keys. After pocketing the two keys, he motioned the others to follow him.
They got around the back where there was nothing but a trashcan and a brick wall. "Gee, Hirigazawa, I thought you were suppose to take us to Diagon Ally, not some pub's backyard." Syaoran mocked.
Eriol just smiled at him, which infuriated Syaoran and got out a wand and tapped the walls in a rhythmic pattern. Soon, the walls began to deform and make a pathway for the whole crew. The HP gang, already experienced it in the past wasn't surprised but the CCS gangs mouths were wide open with shock. Eriol made a grand sweeping bow and said, "Welcome, my friends, to Diagon Ally."
After getting over their initial shock, they took a grand tour. Tomoyo turned on her video camera only to find it dead and whined. Eriol, seeing this, said, "Tomoyo-san, the reason why you're vid cam doesn't work is in the wizarding world, there is an ancient spell that keeps electronic equipment from working," he paused to see the horror written on Tomoyo's face, "however, if you wish, I could enchant your camera so it will work in the wizarding world too." Tomoyo was so happy with this fact that she jumped to hug Eriol, of course, Eriol could have sensed her movement but didn't move and return the hug. Sakura and Meilin were about to yell kawaii but found out that their voice was gone and glared at Eriol who smiled ever so innocently. He enchanted the camera and removed the spell and explained, "ok, first, we have to go get your money, I'm guessing all of you" pointed to the HP gang "has your vault ready," at this, they nodded, "and the Li Clan already has a vault," Syaoran and Meilin nodded, "and Sakura's mother has a vault made for both Tomoyo-san and Sakura-san." Sakura and Tomoyo nodded at this. "Good, then lets go to Gringotts."
They stopped at a huge marble building that indicates Gringotts bank. And on a plaque, it has a warning that basically says don't steal or you'll pay a great price (ok, I only know the first part "enter strange, but take heed" and the last part "finding more than treasure there" so I'm not gonna write up the threats). Sakura shuddered at the threat but was comforted by Syaoran not to worry for he won't let that happened to her, which earned a kawaii from Tomoyo.
When they went inside, Sakura saw bunch of weird looking creature that was dealing with money and ask Eriol what it was and his answer was simply "goblins." They stopped at one where it was open and went there.
"Hello," Eriol greeted. The goblin looked up, "We would like to draw from the Weasly's vault, Granger's vault, Potter's vault, Li's vault, Amiyama's vault, Reed's vault, and we would like to deposit and withdraw money from Daidouji' vault." The goblin asked for keys and everyone gave it to them. T
he goblin called, "Griphook, take these people to their respected vault, Miss Daidouji, please stay behind to exchange and receive your money." They all nodded and went off.
The cart ride was exhausting for Sakura, the others were used to it and since Syaoran and Meilin and strenuous training, they were able to shake it off, but Sakura was having a extremely hard time keeping a straight face, literally. First, they reached the Weasly's Vault where there was some gold coins which Ron and Ginny scooped some off, then Granger's vault where there was a little more, then Potter's vault where there were a fair amount of gold coins. Then it was the Li's vault turn, they stopped at a vault that had a Chinese writing symbol on the door that represents the Li's. Syaoran handed the goblin his key and the vault was opened. In there was a mountain of gold coins, several rare artifacts of china, and various other stuff. The HP gang and Sakura looked at it with their eyes popping out but the two Li just went in and got their coins. Next was the Amiyama's vault. Sakura handed her key that her father gave to her to the goblin and the vault was opened. In there were a little bit more coins, several ancient artifacts found by Fujitaka himself, jewels, and portraits of Nedeshinko herself.
The HP gangs were really shocked now at the amount of money while Sakura was paralyzed with shock at the thought of all this money being hers. Even the Li's were surprised a little at the amount of money, Eriol just smiled amusingly. Sakura got her bag and filled it up and as she was about to leave, she saw a note addressed to her and opened it. It read;
Dear Sakura,
If you have received this note, that means you have been accepted to Hogwarts. I only wish to say encouraging words. Use this vault's money well, Sakura, for this is now all your property, do not slack off on schoolwork, always be kind to others, and I hope you become the best witch there is. I also want to say that I am truly proud of you, my daughter.
Sincerely,
Your Mother, Nedeshinko Kinomoto
Sakura had little dwellings of tears in her eyes and was about to burst. Syaoran, seeing this, went up to her and put her in his embrace.
He said softly, "Don't cry, Sakura-chan, whatever it is, I'm here with you all the way, so don't you worry." Tomoyo has never missed an S&S opportunity, but this must be an exception since she is waiting for them upstairs. The last vault was to be Reed's vault. Eriol handed the key to the goblin and the vault opened and most of them had to cover their eyes at the brightness of the light inside the vault. In there were more gold coins and jewels and rare artifacts than the other entire vault combined. Everyone, except Eriol, jaws dropped and eyes popped out while Sakura yelled out a hoe, Eriol, pretending not to see this, got up and took some money in it. He motioned Sakura to come into the vault, which she did, and told her that all this money will be now hers since Clow Reed originally left it for the new Card Mistress and Eriol is just borrowing money from her vault.
Sakura would have fainted right there but kept her composure. They return finding Tomoyo waiting for them with her bag of coins. Eriol told them that 14 sickles equals to a Galleon while 29 Knuts equals to a Sickle. They went into get their robes and Tomoyo insisted on adding more designs to their robes. They got their several books needed for the school year (in Eriol's case, teacher's books), cauldrons, and other stuff except their wands, brooms, and animals.
They came to a shop that indicated Ollivanders, Fine makers of wands since (I don't know the year, tell me!!). They enter and an old dude popped out of nowhere to greet them. "Welcome, children, I'm guessing you're here to get your wand?" When he saw everyone (except HP gang and Eriol) nod, he continued, "Now, who shall go first?" Meilin boldly approached and extended her arm. Mr. Ollivanders reached let the tape measurer measure and took out a box. "Lotus blossom and Chinese dragon's scale, 12 inches, whippy. Give it a wave." Meilin took the wand and waved it and lotus blossoms floated out of the wand. "Yes! First try, very good, 7 Galleons, please." Meilin handed the money, pleased with her new wand.
Next was Tomoyo. After the tape measurer finish measuring, Mr. Ollivanders pulled out a box and gave it to her. "Plum blossoms and purple-colored Raven feather, 10 inches, stiff." Tomoyo waved it and plum blossoms floated out of the wand. "Yes! First try again, must be my lucky day. 7 Galleons, please." Tomoyo handed the money, also pleased with her new wand.
Next was Syaoran, he extended his hand, after finishing the measuring, Mr. Ollivanders pulled out a box. "Unicorn hair and dragon fang, 14 inches, whippy." He waved it and was snatched away immediately to Mr. Ollivanders. After 7 more tries, he found the right box. "This is a rather powerful wand, it's made from a wolf's hair that is the leader of the pack and is fused with phoenix hair from a great sorcerer's phoenix in the past. 14 inches, whippy." Syaoran took hold of the wand and immediately felt his powers merging with the wand as green light emitted from the wand and himself. When the light died down, there was a symbol of the Li clan marked on the wand. "Excellent, that will be 7 Galleons, please." He handed the money, a little bit mystified at what just happened, but shrugged it off.
Sakura stepped forward to take her measure and get her wand. "Hippogriff's tail feather and ebony tree leaves, 11 inches, stiff." She waved it only to have it taken away. After trying out 33 wands, she found the right one. "This wand is made not only by myself, but by a powerful sorcerer from the past, the same sorcerer who's phoenix gave its feather to your friend there. It's composed of a magical cherry blossom tree from Japan, a phoenix feather from the very same sorcerer, star dust from the 1500's, a hair of an angel, and a hair of a lion, 13 inches, stiff." When Sakura took hold of the wand, she too began emitting light, but pink, same with her wand. When the light died down, there was the marking of the magical circle that Sakura has whenever she uses her magic.
"Amazing!!! No living soul was able to control that wand. Since you and your friend there could control it, I'll tell you the sorcerer who helped me create the wand. His name is Clow Reed." The CCS gang and HP gang were surprised to hear that while Eriol smirked. "He told me to keep those two wands very safe and secured until the true owner of those wands take a hold of them. The hair of an angel is the hair of the moon guardian named Yue and the lion is the name of the sun guardian name Keroberos." At this, everybody was shocked except Eriol. "I wish you good luck and don't turn dark for that is a very powerful wand, that will be 7 Galleons please."
After paying and leaving, Syaoran confronted Eriol. "Hirigazawa, answer me straight, did you know we were suppose to receive the most powerful wands there?"
Eriol smirked but answered, "Why of course cute little descendant," Syaoran fumed but waited, "Clow Reed prepared everything that you should require in Hogwarts. Now if we're done talking let's go get our broom supply."
When they went in, CCS gang asked the HP gang which broom they have. Harry says he has the best broom made, which is the Firebolt, while Ron has a Cleansweeper (I think he has a Cleansweeper, right?). Sakura, seeing that Ron is a little jealous that Harry has a better broom, decided to buy Ron a Firebolt. Of course, Ron at first refused profusely since it's too much money but changed his mind immediately when she came back with two Firebolt, one for herself. Ron thanked her numerous times and promise to pay her back when he grows older. Syaoran decided to buy a Firebolt also while Meilin didn't want to fly and Tomoyo only wanted to tape Sakura flying and Eriol is a professor so he doesn't really need a broom.
Next, they went to the get their pets. It was so chaotic in there you don't know from left to right. They all went in different directions in the shop trying to find an animal they like, the HP gang waited outside. Meilin's eyes landed on the most beautiful cat she ever seen in her life. It was pure white with red stripes and kinda big making it look like a white tiger. Meilin immediately bought it and named it Lotus. (I suck at names so bare with me).
Tomoyo was searching for the perfect animal when her eyes landed on the most beautiful cat she ever seen. Unlike Meilin's, it wasn't big but rather small as if it's a newborn and has violet fur and the most endearing blue eyes and she couldn't resist but to buy it and name it Lilac.
Eriol just dawdled around the shop until his eyes landed on an owl with brown feather with streaks of blue in it, and golden eyes. However, it's eyes looked as if filled with mischief and he couldn't help but buy it and name it Clow.
Sakura and Syaoran were buying the pets together, although Syaoran didn't see the point of it. However, both Sakura's and Syaoran's eye landed on a pair of phoenix. One of the phoenixes was red and orange just like other phoenixes but had streaks of pink on its wings and emerald green eyes. The other one was also red and orange but had streaks of green on its wings and golden amber eyes. The shopkeeper warned them, "don't get too close, they scratch and peck whoever tries to buy them." When Sakura and Syaoran put their hand stretch out, the phoenixes both flew and landed on their arm. The shopkeeper was amazed and said, "bloody hell, I never seen them do that before. It's as if you were chosen to buy those phoenixes. Since they only seem to go with you, I'll make it cheap and charge 20 Galleons for both phoenixes." Sakura insisted on paying half but Syaoran refused and paid.
Sakura called her phoenix Nedeshinko while Syaoran named his Ryuren. They all gather their stuff and went back to Leaky Cauldron.
To Be Continued
How was it? Good? Bad? I hope you consider reviewing. In case you were wondering why I titled it meeting old enemies, Eriol is kinda their enemy from their past since he made them do all those tests and stuff, and he'll forever be Syaoran's enemy. Oh, and give me your opinion on the good guy/bad guy thing for Draco. That is all, have a nice day.
