Hello once again, as I shall entertain you (hopefully) onto this next
chapter. Thank you so much for waiting so patiently. This chapter is a
continuous of the last chapter, what I mean is that there will be more
classes put on here. Also, I realize that I haven't been putting up about
Voldermort, so I will make a whole chapter about him and just what is he up
to, next chapter. Lastly, I just wanted to say that for those of you that
have reviewed, I want to offer my deepest gratitude, although I won't go
over the names, because I believe you rather read the story. Now, on with
the story!!
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS or HP, if I did, I would be a very rich dude.
Chapter 4: A couple of classes Part 2, Dumbledore's army, and a little bit of Quidditch
What happened last chapter
"Excellent work, Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore told me you were good at DADA and now I know it's true, even though you're spell wasn't fully the spell it was suppose to be, it was still better than everyone else's, 50 points to Gryffindor." Gryffindor table cheered loudly at this while Harry blushed a little at the compliments. "Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura also walked up nervously hoping she'd do well. However, before she could even take out her wand, the bell that signals that the class is over rang. "Ok, there is no homework, class dismiss."
The class walked out happily that there is no Homework.
Transfiguration
As everybody settled down (Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, both 6th and 7th), Professor McGogonall started, "Good afternoon class, since you guys are starting to reach at the end of the year, we decided to put both 6th and 7th in the same class, now, today, we will be doing human transfiguration and the different animals you could transform yourselves into." The class cheered at this. "First, we will be doing the easiest of animal, which is a frog. I want you to practice with a partner and chant the incantation, which is, huminid transfiguro, and then say the animals name, in this case it's frog. You may begin."
Everybody paired up in a partner, Sakura and Syaoran paired up with each other, Tomoyo and Meilin paired up with each other, and Ron and Hermoine paired up with each other, leaving Harry in the dust. "Mr. Potter, since there is uneven number of students, go work with Miss Daidouji and Miss Li." At the mention of Meilin's name, his heart fluttered, but obliged to Professor McGogonall's command.
Tomoyo cheerfully greeted Harry while Meilin was a little flustered but greeted him nonetheless. Everyone was trying to get the spell right but most people were failing miserably, even Hermoine was having trouble. Just then, a 'pop' was heard from a side of class and everybody look toward that direction. It seems that Sakura had turned Syaoran into a green frog, which is the usual color, and Syaoran the frog was glaring regardless of his position. Everybody would have laughed but Syaoran, even in his frog mode, looked scary so they just reverted to congratulation Sakura.
"Excellent job, Miss Kinomoto, that will be 50 points to Gryffindor getting it on the first day. Now, do you know the reverse spell?" McGogonall asked. Syaoran hoped Sakura knew for he didn't want to stay like this forever. Fortunately, she knew the reverse spell and turned him back into human form. Syaoran, getting the mischief and revenge in his eyes, pointed his wand at Sakura and shouted, "huminid transfiguro, PIG!!" The spell shot directly at Sakura but Sakura ducked causing Professor McGogonall turn into a large pig. Sakura just smiled at him before frowning and turned Professor McGogonall back into human. Everybody in the classroom was laughing his or her head off.
Professor McGogonall, looking a little bit ruffled, turned to Syaoran and glared, "Mr. Li, I believe I said frog, not pig, normally, I would take off points but pig is 3 times as hard as frog, therefore, I will award 20 points to Gryffindor." Everybody cheered at Syaoran and Sakura forgetting the fact that they casted a very advance spell.
"Now, get back to work, everyone, and I expect to see at least some progress." Everybody got back to working and the only one who was able to almost work the transfiguring was Hermoine, Ron, Harry, Tomoyo, Meilin, and Neville, who were working with Seamus.
Hermoine almost turned Ron into a frog but messed it up a little and ended up becoming a frog with red hairs and freckles. After being reverted back, Ron tried on Hermoine but only successfully turned her head into a frog head, which Hermoine got quite mad at.
Tomoyo and Meilin progressed better than those two. Tomoyo was able to turn Meilin and Harry into red and black frogs. Meilin was able to turn Tomoyo into a purple frog but turned Harry into a black frog that had red hearts all over him, causing Meilin to blush at the display of her magic. Harry, reverted back, had a blush on his face but hide it and turned Tomoyo into a purple frog but turned Meilin into a red frog with white hearts. After being turned back, both Harry and Meilin blushed, while Tomoyo was taping them.
Neville was having trouble at first but managed to turn Seamus into a frog but strangely, it had a tail. "You're homework will be to practice the frog transfiguration and perform it in front of your class." Professor McGogonall stated.
The bell that initiated that class over rang and they were dismissed.
Divination
Hermoine went off into her Arithmathy class while the rest went to Divination with Hufflepuff. The CCS gang was having hard time breathing for it was so stuffy and had weird chairs that were overly uncomfortable. Then, a teacher with ridiculously big glasses came in and spoke to the class, "Good afternoon class, I am Professor Trawleny, I first welcome the new students, Sakoora Kimoto, Shaoran Lee, Tomato Daidoju, and Meiling Lee."
The CCS gang raised their hand and answered, "Professor, that is Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li, Tomoyo Daidouji, and Meilin Li." Trawleny blushed while the rest of the class was laughing at her.
"SILENCE!" The class quieted down. Then she began, "Today, we will be reviewing crystal balls and how they could detect your near future. Please, get into a group of four and get to work." Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and Sakura got into one group and Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Dean got into another but worked closely to the CCS group. Trawleny walked up to the foreign transfer student and asked Syaoran, "Tell me, boy, what do you see in your future?" Syaoran directed his magic into the crystal ball to see if it would tell of his future.
He went into a trance and explained as he went, "I see myself sitting on a rocking chair in my 80s, I see myself training my kids to be leader, I see myself marrying the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I see myself taking the leader of my family, I see myself training someone in Hogwarts, Professor Trawleny, move 3 feet to the left." Professor Trawleny did as she was told and just in that spot, shards of broken glass flew toward there.
Everybody was shocked at the prediction Syaoran was able to make. Syaoran got out of his trance and looked around to see why everyone was looking at him in confusion. He glared at everyone and they went back to work. Neville was scorned by Professor Trawleny for breaking the crystal glass on accident.
Sakura told him in Japanese,"Syaoran, how is it that you were able to make predictions and foretell the future? I thought I had the power to do that."
Syaoran thought deeply for a moment before answering, "I think it's the crystal ball, for I was directing my energy into it and suddenly everything became blank. I think the crystal ball itself holds amount of foretelling magic but the wizards are not that strong so they can't go far into the future." The CCS gang girls nodded at this.
By the end of the class, everybody was able to see the future but only about 5 minutes or so. "All right, we're nearing at the end of the class, I want you all to do a 3 page essay about the qualities of the crystal ball. Class dismissed." Everybody grumbled about the three pager but just went off to do their own thing.
Great Hall for Dinner
Everybody was eating dinner when Dumbledore tinked the cup. "Now, I just want you to remind you all that Quidditch begins tomorrow," at this people cheered, "and that all the clubs are allowed as long as there is a teacher supervising. Now, Harry Potter has started a new club called Dumbledore's army, which I am thankful for, and whoever wants to join is able to join." At this, Dumbledore smiled at Harry who nodded in response but was shocked to say that his club was made official.
Hermoine asked Harry, "since you're club is official, do you want to start tonight?" Harry looked at her then nodded. "Good, then I'll alert the old DA members that we will be starting tonight. I hope none of the Slytherin comes."
Then she walked off. Meanwhile, Harry went over to the CCS gang. "Hey you guys, do you want to come to the DA's meeting today? We're basically just going to go over some of the Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff."
The CCS gang nodded, Sakura then asked, "who's going to supervise the meeting?" Everybody looked at each other and shrugged.
Then, a familiar voice rang through the Great Hall, "I will be supervising the DA's meeting since I am the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Everybody agreed at this while Harry sigh of relief.
Dumbledore's Army meeting AKA the Room of Requirement
Every one of the old members of the DA was there, except the sneak (I forgot what her name is, please tell me), talking to one another, chatting about what they're going to learn today. Cho was looking around for Harry, and when she found him, she approached but then she realized that he was talking to Meilin excitedly while Meilin was talking back smiling. Cho was infuriated but kept to herself. Dobby was passing out pumpkin juice as refreshment and everybody was thanking him, he was starting to become Hogwart's favorite elf.
Harry, signaling Eriol that he is starting which Eriol smiled in response, got in front of everyone and murmured an incantation, "Soranus (I think that's increasing your voice spell, right?), welcome everyone, it's so good to see familiar faces, it's also good that our club is back again," at this people cheered, "and it's good to see some new faces in here, what we're going to do is basically practice couple of spells that could be very helpful in hand-to-hand combat, now, we'll go over simple ones like the Disarming curse, the Stunning curse, and the Full Body Bind curse. Then we'll go over more advance spells such as the Patronus Spell, the Mind Breaking Spell," Harry winced a little at what happened last year with Snape, "and we'll all practice the Transfiguring Unicorn blood curse. Any question?"
One hand shot up, which was Dean, and asked, "Will we have a cession to duel?" Everybody agreed at this.
Harry, looking over at Eriol who gave a nod, said, "if the person who is being challenged accepts, then we'll duel."
Then, Cho's voice was heard, "if that's the case, then I want to duel Meilin Li." Everybody was shocked that Cho challenged Meilin but Meilin gladly accepted, after all, she is a Li.
Harry then motioned the two on the dueling platform, which magically appeared as soon as Meilin accepted the challenge (it isn't called the Room of Requirement for no reason). "Now, players, bow to each other," they bowed, "Now, on three, you guys are free to use any technique you wish," then he whispered to Meilin, "be careful," which Meilin gave a small smile. Unfortunately, Cho heard this and was more infuriated. "On three, one, two...THREE!!"
Cho immediately shot Meilin with a Stunning Curse, which Meilin dodged easily by jumping in the air, and then in the air, Meilin shouted, "Patrificus Totalus!" Cho's arm that held the wand became paralyzed and she dropped the wand. She tried to reach it but Meilin, back on the ground, kicked the wand off the platform and pointed the wand directly at Cho. Cho was mad, but she accepted defeat for she didn't have a choice. Everybody in Gryffindor cheered Meilin while Ravenclaw booed her. Harry smiled at Meilin, which Meilin gladly returned, which made Cho burn with anger.
"Now that is out of the way," before he could go on, he was interrupted by the Room of Requirement door being slammed open.
Everybody was glaring at the person, who was Draco with his "bodyguards", but Draco glared back and demanded, "I challenged Syaoran Li on a wand-to- wand, nothing else, duel!" Evidently, he wanted to impress Sakura and get payback for the embarrassment.
Everybody was shouting at Draco and telling him to get lost but Eriol shouted over them, "Since this is an official club, all are invited, either it's someone you like or hate. And if you guys would have listened, Mr. Li has accepted Mr. Malloy's duel." Syaoran was surprised at the no "cute little descendant" remark but shrugged it off and glared at Draco.
"All right, then, duelists, on the platform." He motioned but glared at Draco. "On the count of three, you are allowed to only use wand techniques and nothing else. On three, one, two... THREE!" At this, Draco shouted the Stunning curse but Syaoran shouted, "protego!" A green transparent shield popped up and the Stunning curse reflected making Draco jumped out of the way shaking him up a bit. Using this advantage, Syaoran called off the shield and shouted, "lighting blarus!" Bolts of lighting shot out at Syaoran's wand and hit Draco on full impact causing him to fly out of the dueling platform and onto the wall. The "bodyguards" of Draco immediately ran over to Draco and tried to conjure up a stretcher but forgot how so they just carried him to the hospital wing. Meanwhile, everybody in the room was cheering on Syaoran for his victory over Draco and Sakura hugged him which caused him to go red which made Tomoyo shout out 'kawaii' and videotape them and Eriol just grinning at Syaoran which he answered with a glare.
Harry, satisfied that Draco lost, began again, "as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, today, we will be reviewing Disarming curse, the Stunning curse, and the Mind Breaking curse, but we'll first practice the Disarming curse, everybody get in groups of two and practice."
Everybody grouped and practice while Harry was talking to Eriol about what curses they should practice and other stuff. Spells were flying here and there, sometimes, never hitting the opponent but hitting the walls and grounds. Harry got up and shouted, "I realize that some people tend to weave into another direction, try to keep your wand straight and aim at your opponents hand." So they went back to practicing, shouts of experimus were heard and so on. After about a half of hour practice, everyone turned his or her attention back to Harry.
"Ok, good job on the Disarming curses, now, since this is the first day of DA, we'll end here." Everybody thanked Harry for a great lesson and left. Just as Harry was about to leave, Cho asked him to stay behind so she could talk to him. Hermoine and Ron glared at her but Harry said he'd be fine so they were left alone.
"Hello, Harry." Cho said sweetly.
Harry, if this was last year he would have blush, casually said, "what do you need, Cho?"
Cho looked at him directly in the eyes and said, "Please don't talk until you hear me out." Seeing Harry nod, she continued, "I want you to be my boyfriend again Harry," At this he was shocked but she went on, "I realized that breaking up with you was a total mistake and I realize that Hermoine and you are just friend and I was wondering if we could start all over again, please?" She gave him a pleading look and desperate look, almost.
Harry, getting over the initial shock, responded, "I can't do that, Cho," before Cho could ask why, Harry continued, "I don't like you that way anymore when I realized that you aren't really the girl that I thought you were, and besides, I-I like someone else." Harry was surprised to see that Cho wasn't surprised but angry.
She asked, "Is it Meilin?"
Harry gave her a look that stated 'how the hell did you know that?' before answering, "yes, it's Meilin, I met her at summer and she's such a great person, she has a fiery spirit, but that's one of the things I really like about her."
Cho looked like she was about to destroy England but regained her composure and forced out, "well, I hope you succeed in getting Meilin to like you, I have to go now, bye." With that, Cho stomped off angrily.
Gryffindor Common Room
When Harry entered the room, he was surprised to see Hermoine, Ron, Syaoran, Sakura, Meilin, and Tomoyo waiting on the couches.
Ron was the first to speak up, "So what did she want you for? Does she want you back?"
Hermoine smacked him on the head and retorted, "Are you crazy? Cho would never do that, she's already going out with that other person in Hufflepuff." Before more bickering could be produced,
Harry replied, "She wanted me be her boyfriend again." At this, the argument between Ron and Harry stopped and Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Sakura was shocked that Harry said again while Meilin looked jealous.
Ron stated, "Ha! I was right, Hermoine!"
Hermoine murmured a shut up before turning back to Harry and asked, "You did say no, right? You told her you don't have feelings for her anymore, right?" Everybody was looking at him now, waiting for the answer, especially Meilin.
Harry inhaled then responded; "I told her I have no more feelings for her anymore, that she is not the type of girl I would want to like." Everybody nodded while Ron and Hermoine breath a sigh of relief and Meilin was overjoyed. "Ok, I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed, good night everybody." Everybody replied good night and went off to their beds.
Morning
[Splash] "HOEEEEE!!" Sakura looked around to see our be lovable guardian with the empty water bucket, again. "KEROOO!!!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?" Sakura shouted.
Kero responded, "Well, for one thing, you left me up here all bored and hungry yesterday, and for other thing, you're going to be late for breakfast, again." Sakura yelled a louder "HOEEEE!" before running here and there trying to find her robe and ran out of the girl's dormitory. The CCS gang and HP gang were waiting for her. Sakura looked at them as if they were crazy just sitting on the sofas and she yelled, "C'mon, C'mon, what are you doing?!?! We're going to be late for breakfast!!"
Everybody looked at her weird before Syaoran asked, "But Sakura-chan, we have 30 minutes."
Sakura shouted, "30 minutes!?!?" then looked at the Hogwarts clocked that says 30 minutes till breakfast.
Sakura turned around to see the grinning Keroberos and shouted at him, "KEROOO!! WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP SO EARLY WHEN I STILL HAD 30 MINUTES OF SLEEP!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
Everybody winced at the noise and Kero replied, "Well, isn't it a nice change that you wake up earlier?" Everyone nodded at this, "and it's my revenge for making me be bored and hungry!!" Everyone sweatdropped at this and Sakura was about to retort when Eriol teleported to the room.
"Keroberos, I believe I could solve your dilemma." Said Eriol.
The HP gang were looking at him in shock before Hermoine spoke up, "How did you apparated here? You can't apparated and disapparated in Hogwarts." Eriol just gave her a smile and looked at her until Hermoine slapped her head and said, "Of course, you're Clow Reed, how stupid I could get? You probably used a teleportation spell I heard so much about from Eastern magic."
Eriol smiled at her and said, "yes, that is correct, now, Keroberos, about your dilemma, whenever I am in class teaching DADA, I leave Suppi in Dumbledore's office and he reads to the book or talk to that phoenix that Dumbledore has, now,"
Before he could continue, Hermoine interrupted him, "Guardians could talk to phoenixes?"
Eriol smiled at her and answered, "Yes, guardians have magical entities that makes them capable of speaking in many different tongues, whether it is foreign languages or not even humans." Eriol faced Keroberos, "now, I could take you to Dumbledore's office, I believe he has enchanted a video game called Game Cube and he says you are welcome to play it whenever you wish." At this, Keroberos zoomed out of the Gryffindor common room and to Dumbledore's office.
Everybody sweatdropped at this while Syaoran was murmuring, "stupid game addicted stuff animal." Eriol then turned back to them and said, "Well, I'll see you guys at the Great Hall." Then he teleported right before their eyes. Everybody slowly left for the Great Hall, wondering what excitements await him or her today.
Great Hall
Everybody was eating, still talking about that strange Hoe sounds that they hear every morning, causing Sakura to go red. Dumbledore got up and projected his voice, "As most of you should know already, Hogsmead trip is coming up soon," everybody cheered, "the staffs and I had a meeting yesterday morning and decided that Hogwarts will have its first Quidditch match of the season that starts next week, which is Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff." At this, the players frowned for they didn't practice yet. "Since we did bombard you with this news, every class, starting today, will be cut down to half for a full week so the players could practice Quidditch. And I hope that for every house, you will start your tryouts today, I'm sure Madam Hooch could figure something out as to share the Quidditch field, that is all, have a good day."
Everyone was talking about the new schedule that was announced before Professor McGogonall told him or her to go to class.
Caring for Magical Creatures (that is the name of the class, right?)
Hagrid was standing in front of the class, all looking proud and happy. The Gryffindors had this class with Hufflepuff, luckily not Slytherin. A sheet was covering something and that thing was trying its best not to move.
As soon as everyone settled down, Hagrid began, "today, I have a real special treat for you today. These creatures are really rare and hard to find. In fact, Dumbledore is the only one who has one, although he says he's just keeping him for someone else. Also, someone you all know has one but I won't go on the information, they lend me these fantastic creatures that you should all be familiar with." Then Hagrid uncovered the sheet and everybody gasp, especially Sakura.
Keroberos and Spinal Sun was under those covers and Kero was grinning like crazy. Everybody was murmuring if they were the real things for Keroberos was known all over as the first creation of guardian of the sun and Spinal second.
Hagrid, satisfied that everyone is interested, began, "as you should already know, this lion creature is Keroberos Sun, the guardian beasts of the seal of the Clow cards and a guardian of the sun. Spinal Sun, another guardian of the sun, is currently another creature created by Clow to aid his descendants in battle." Sakura looked confused at the last information until Syaoran told her in Japanese that the witches and wizards believe that Spinal was to aid Clow's descendants and that they don't know that Clow is reincarnated.
"Now," Hagrid continued, "these creatures have many magical abilities and they could also speak, go ahead boys."
Keroberos spoke up, "hello, all, my name is Keroberos, as you all know. I am here to protect my mistress who I won't reveal," At this, people groaned for they really wanted to see the Card Mistress. "The basic about me is given, oh, and the only reason I'm doing is, well, let's just say that Professor Dumbledore owes me a LOT of pudding." Everybody was confused at this but the CCS gang sweatdropped with the HP gang.
It was Suppi's turn this time. "My name is Spinal Sun, as you all know, I am to "aid the Clow's descendant" in battle. The only reason I am doing this is my owner forced me to and he is going to do something to me I hate most if I don't do this." At this, Spinal shuddered.
The CCS gang and the HP gang stifled a giggle for the thing that Spinal hates the most is Nakuru when she wants to feed him sweets.
Hagrid then spoke again, "For the next couple of weeks, we will be studying about these guardians. I will be giving you information, which you will take notes on and these guardians will help me fill in the blanks spots that I have missed. Any questions?"
At this, a boy from Hufflepuff name Kurtis Franklin raised his hand,
"Yes, Mr. Franklin?"
Kurtis began, "How can you prove that these creatures are real?"
Hagrid thought for a moment before answering, "well, for one thing, you see those gems on their forehead?" When Kurtis nodded, Hagrid continued, "Well, those gems are only for guardians, the guardians carry extra energies there and use it whenever they lack energy. The gem also emits powerful energy entities that we will go over later on the week."
Kurtis nodded at this and Hagrid continued his lessons, "well, I will be filling more stuff later on, until then, go ahead and ask these guardians questions."
Several hands rose up, a girls name Sandy Adams was picked, "What do you do in your spare time?" Sandy asked.
Keroberos went first, "well, I like to sleep, play video games, eat pudding, and when I get really bored, I just annoy Suppi right here."
At this, Spinal Sun growled and yelled out, "MY NAME IS NOT SUPPI FOR THE LAST TIME!!! STOP MAKING ME SOUND LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF SOUP!!!" Everybody cowered as Spinal shot out a red beam out of his mouth, which Kero dodged, and they started blasting stuff at each other.
Everybody was taking cover and Sakura was about to use her key when a ray of blue light came from what seems like the DADA classroom and it paralyzed both Suppi and Kero in midair. Everybody was wondering what had happened to them and only the CCS gang and HP gang knew that Eriol must have sent that beam as a warning. After a few seconds, the guardians became unanalyzed and got back in their regular position but glared at each other nonetheless.
Everybody got back to his or her seat still afraid that something would happen. Syaoran, realizing the tensed atmosphere, decided to break off the atmosphere by asking a question, "I want to ask the question directly at the weird, stupid looking lion." Syaoran couldn't say stuff animal for that will raise suspicion so he tried the next best name calling, Kero was glaring at him but couldn't do anything. "Are you smart?" Syaoran asked. Kero looked proud and said, "yes, I'm the smartest creatures in the Eastern region. I know bunch of languages, know what different types of magic there are, and more." Syaoran smirked and answered, "well, if you're so smart, then what is 20 times 15?" Keroberos was taken back by the question but answered, "4000?" (For you slow math people, it's 300) Syaoran laughed out loud causing Kero to growl and was about to shout out a fire but was stopped by Sakura's warning look.
The class went on as people asked Kero and Suppi more questions about what they like and where do they live and who are their favorite wizards and such.
History of Magic
Yukito and Nakuru was greeting people as usual and when everybody settled down, Nakuru began. "Now, I hope you remember your homework," people nodded, "ok, then write on a piece of paper," Nakuru waved her wand and pieces of paper appeared on the students desks. "And write down what you want." Everybody wrote what he or she wanted and was soon collected by Yukito.
Yukito began counting out loud, "Clow Reed, one. Clow Reed, Two. Clow Reed, Three, Clow Cards, one. Clow Reed, four. Clow Cards, two, Clow Cards, three. Keroberos, one. Yue, one." And it went on, in the end, Clow Reed was 19 votes, Clow Cards 15 votes, Yue and Keroberos both 9 votes.
"Ok, since, so many people agree on the same thing, we decided to do it on Clow Reed and his life." Everybody cheered at this. "First, we'll tell you about his life style. Clow Reed's parent was unique. Clow Reed's mother is from a powerful clan in China, Clow Reed's father is British, comes from England. This is how Clow was able to have both Eastern and Western magic, for their parent was both advances in their own magic. Clow's mother trained Clow magically while Clow's father trained him artistically and academically. It didn't mean Clow's mother was dumb; it's just that her magical level was much higher than Clow's father. Clow Reed, at the age of 28, created the 53 Clow Cards. One card, the Void, has the power of the other 52 Clow Cards for the cards need light and dark to balance each other out."
Nakuru stopped to take a breather and to see if everybody was listening, then she continued, "after he created the cards, he created two guardians, Keroberos and Yue, and put them as both the guardian of the cards and make Keroberos take control of half of the cards, the cards Keroberos has power over is known as the Sun cards, and Yue was in control of the other half, them being Moon cards. The Void is neither Moon or Sun, it is it's own card, so powerful that it has it's own element until someone else claims it."
Lavender's hands shot up, "Can you tell us couple of cards that are of Moon and that are of Sun?" Hermoine asked. Nakuru looked at Yukito who nodded and waved her wand, which created an image in front of the class, the Clow book. "Now, the book, as you know it, contains 53 Clow Cards. Cards like Windy are of a Moon spirit; the Woody is another example of the Moon spirit. Cards like the Fiery and the Shot are considering Sun spirits."
This time, Dean's hand shot up, "how can you distinguish Moon spirits from Sun spirits?" This time, Yukito spoke up. "The very first thing to look at is the back, for on the back of a card, it has a symbol of either moon or sun on the back. Another way is by the spirits personalities. If it has a fiery and destructive personality like the Fiery or the Earthy, it's consider being a Sun spirit, while Moon spirits are calm, yet very deadly at the same time. Like the Windy, it's a gentle spirit but at full power, it could create chaos for the world. Of course, some spirits of their type are the opposite, like Watery is a Moon spirit but it's violent, while Mirror is consider a Sun spirit but it's not so violent."
Everyone jotted down these information. After a few more information about Clow Reed like his favorite food, favorite color, and favorite time of the year, the class was over. "Whoever could write me could write down a one pager about Clow Reed in detail form will get 15 points to their house points. Class dismisses." Everyone walked out talking about the exciting things they learned about Clow Reed.
Lunch
Everybody was happily eating their food, thinking how the rest of the day will go, the Gryffindors only had Potions left for the rest of the day the Quidditch players could hold the try-out match. Harry convinced Sakura and Syaoran to join for they had Firebolt, besides, Syaoran always wanted to play Quidditch when he little but he was forced to train and Sakura just like the idea of flying. Everyone finished their breakfast and it was off to Potions.
Potion
Everybody was talking silently till Professor Snape burst from the door and stomped to the front. "Today, we shall begin to create Healing Powders, these powders have great affect on an injure person, although not as strong as a phoenix's tear nor advanced as the hospital wings, it is used mainly to heal scratches and minor burns. Get in group of 4 and get working, the powders should look blue." Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meilin teamed up while Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Neville worked together, mostly to keep Neville out of trouble and not to cost them house points.
After 40 minutes or so, Professor Snape saw that everyone was done so he walked around. He saw Draco's powder in grayish-blue but awarded them 30 points. He saw Harry's powder, which was perfect blue but didn't give them any points but acted like he never saw it, which infuriated the HP gang. He went over to Sakura's powder and saw that it was also perfect blue, he was infuriated that they were able to do things so well and wished they were in Slytherin instead. Snape just passed them but the CCS gang just shrugged. The class ended and everyone was so glad to get out of that wretched class.
Quidditch Pit
Every house was on the field for try-outs so Madam Hooch each assign them a corner and put up a barrier so that other houses can't see what you're doing. The Gryffindors looked around and was satisfied that everyone was there. Since Angelica, the last team captain, has graduated, Harry was chosen as captain for he was on the team since the beginning of his Hogwarts years. Harry was satisfied to see Sakura and Syaoran there with their broom. Everyone was envying Harry's broom, Ron's broom, or Sakura and Syaoran's broom.
Harry spoke out loud, "I want to thank everyone for coming to Gryffindor try-out match. All the Chaser's position and the two Beater's position are open, since our last two beater decided not to play anymore. So whoever wishes to try out for those positions may begin. First up, Ginny Weasly!" Even though Ginny was on the team last year, it was because she was a Seeker and this time, she's trying out for a chaser. Ginny got the quaffle and went straight for the goal with Ron blocking. Ron smirked thinking that Ginny would never be able to shoot it in but Ginny, living with Ron all her life, knows his weakness and strength, and knows which side Ron is weak against. Ginny faked a left, which Ron went for then Ginny shot it at the right and it went it causing Ron to gape.
Ginny came down and was congratulated by several players for outstanding performance. Other people tried out and now it was Sakura's turn.
"Next up, Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura nervously went up but when she plopped down on her broom, she felt her nervousness fade away. Sakura got the Quaffle and two chasers try to get her but she was too fast and her ability to dodge was amazing, she went straight for the goal and without hesitating, threw the Quaffle straight into the goal making Ron gape twice as hard until he realized who he was up against.
Sakura came down and everybody was cheering for her, Sakura just smiled at them and when Syaoran congratulated her, she hugged him, making some of the Gryffindor guys look up in jealousy but they knew better than to get between these two now. Next were the Beater's tryouts.
After a few people went, Syaoran was up. Syaoran took his broom, got his beater stick, and flew up. As soon as he was in air, Bludgers advanced toward him. He got his stick and whacks the Bludger down causing a large hole on the ground. Then he saw another Bludger coming to his way and didn't have time to swing so he did the next best thing, he put his hand out and grabbed it, and the Bludger tried to squirm out of the hold but was unsuccessful. The Gryffindors were looking up with shock as Syaoran caught a Bludger with one hand, ONE HAND!!
As soon as the whistle blow, Syaoran came down and looked at other people's faces which were filled with shock. Only Sakura came up to him and gave him a hug and congratulation. Everybody got over their shock and congratulated Syaoran for such an awesome performance.
Harry, regaining his position, spoke out loud, "The result for the Quidditch team will be posted in the Gryffindor common room, and for those who did not make it, thank you for trying your best, that is all." Everybody then suited up and went straight for dinner.
To Be Continued
That is all, whew, I'm exhausted after writing all this, I hope you plan to review, and I'll see you in the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own CCS or HP, if I did, I would be a very rich dude.
Chapter 4: A couple of classes Part 2, Dumbledore's army, and a little bit of Quidditch
What happened last chapter
"Excellent work, Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore told me you were good at DADA and now I know it's true, even though you're spell wasn't fully the spell it was suppose to be, it was still better than everyone else's, 50 points to Gryffindor." Gryffindor table cheered loudly at this while Harry blushed a little at the compliments. "Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura also walked up nervously hoping she'd do well. However, before she could even take out her wand, the bell that signals that the class is over rang. "Ok, there is no homework, class dismiss."
The class walked out happily that there is no Homework.
Transfiguration
As everybody settled down (Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, both 6th and 7th), Professor McGogonall started, "Good afternoon class, since you guys are starting to reach at the end of the year, we decided to put both 6th and 7th in the same class, now, today, we will be doing human transfiguration and the different animals you could transform yourselves into." The class cheered at this. "First, we will be doing the easiest of animal, which is a frog. I want you to practice with a partner and chant the incantation, which is, huminid transfiguro, and then say the animals name, in this case it's frog. You may begin."
Everybody paired up in a partner, Sakura and Syaoran paired up with each other, Tomoyo and Meilin paired up with each other, and Ron and Hermoine paired up with each other, leaving Harry in the dust. "Mr. Potter, since there is uneven number of students, go work with Miss Daidouji and Miss Li." At the mention of Meilin's name, his heart fluttered, but obliged to Professor McGogonall's command.
Tomoyo cheerfully greeted Harry while Meilin was a little flustered but greeted him nonetheless. Everyone was trying to get the spell right but most people were failing miserably, even Hermoine was having trouble. Just then, a 'pop' was heard from a side of class and everybody look toward that direction. It seems that Sakura had turned Syaoran into a green frog, which is the usual color, and Syaoran the frog was glaring regardless of his position. Everybody would have laughed but Syaoran, even in his frog mode, looked scary so they just reverted to congratulation Sakura.
"Excellent job, Miss Kinomoto, that will be 50 points to Gryffindor getting it on the first day. Now, do you know the reverse spell?" McGogonall asked. Syaoran hoped Sakura knew for he didn't want to stay like this forever. Fortunately, she knew the reverse spell and turned him back into human form. Syaoran, getting the mischief and revenge in his eyes, pointed his wand at Sakura and shouted, "huminid transfiguro, PIG!!" The spell shot directly at Sakura but Sakura ducked causing Professor McGogonall turn into a large pig. Sakura just smiled at him before frowning and turned Professor McGogonall back into human. Everybody in the classroom was laughing his or her head off.
Professor McGogonall, looking a little bit ruffled, turned to Syaoran and glared, "Mr. Li, I believe I said frog, not pig, normally, I would take off points but pig is 3 times as hard as frog, therefore, I will award 20 points to Gryffindor." Everybody cheered at Syaoran and Sakura forgetting the fact that they casted a very advance spell.
"Now, get back to work, everyone, and I expect to see at least some progress." Everybody got back to working and the only one who was able to almost work the transfiguring was Hermoine, Ron, Harry, Tomoyo, Meilin, and Neville, who were working with Seamus.
Hermoine almost turned Ron into a frog but messed it up a little and ended up becoming a frog with red hairs and freckles. After being reverted back, Ron tried on Hermoine but only successfully turned her head into a frog head, which Hermoine got quite mad at.
Tomoyo and Meilin progressed better than those two. Tomoyo was able to turn Meilin and Harry into red and black frogs. Meilin was able to turn Tomoyo into a purple frog but turned Harry into a black frog that had red hearts all over him, causing Meilin to blush at the display of her magic. Harry, reverted back, had a blush on his face but hide it and turned Tomoyo into a purple frog but turned Meilin into a red frog with white hearts. After being turned back, both Harry and Meilin blushed, while Tomoyo was taping them.
Neville was having trouble at first but managed to turn Seamus into a frog but strangely, it had a tail. "You're homework will be to practice the frog transfiguration and perform it in front of your class." Professor McGogonall stated.
The bell that initiated that class over rang and they were dismissed.
Divination
Hermoine went off into her Arithmathy class while the rest went to Divination with Hufflepuff. The CCS gang was having hard time breathing for it was so stuffy and had weird chairs that were overly uncomfortable. Then, a teacher with ridiculously big glasses came in and spoke to the class, "Good afternoon class, I am Professor Trawleny, I first welcome the new students, Sakoora Kimoto, Shaoran Lee, Tomato Daidoju, and Meiling Lee."
The CCS gang raised their hand and answered, "Professor, that is Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li, Tomoyo Daidouji, and Meilin Li." Trawleny blushed while the rest of the class was laughing at her.
"SILENCE!" The class quieted down. Then she began, "Today, we will be reviewing crystal balls and how they could detect your near future. Please, get into a group of four and get to work." Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran, and Sakura got into one group and Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Dean got into another but worked closely to the CCS group. Trawleny walked up to the foreign transfer student and asked Syaoran, "Tell me, boy, what do you see in your future?" Syaoran directed his magic into the crystal ball to see if it would tell of his future.
He went into a trance and explained as he went, "I see myself sitting on a rocking chair in my 80s, I see myself training my kids to be leader, I see myself marrying the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I see myself taking the leader of my family, I see myself training someone in Hogwarts, Professor Trawleny, move 3 feet to the left." Professor Trawleny did as she was told and just in that spot, shards of broken glass flew toward there.
Everybody was shocked at the prediction Syaoran was able to make. Syaoran got out of his trance and looked around to see why everyone was looking at him in confusion. He glared at everyone and they went back to work. Neville was scorned by Professor Trawleny for breaking the crystal glass on accident.
Sakura told him in Japanese,"Syaoran, how is it that you were able to make predictions and foretell the future? I thought I had the power to do that."
Syaoran thought deeply for a moment before answering, "I think it's the crystal ball, for I was directing my energy into it and suddenly everything became blank. I think the crystal ball itself holds amount of foretelling magic but the wizards are not that strong so they can't go far into the future." The CCS gang girls nodded at this.
By the end of the class, everybody was able to see the future but only about 5 minutes or so. "All right, we're nearing at the end of the class, I want you all to do a 3 page essay about the qualities of the crystal ball. Class dismissed." Everybody grumbled about the three pager but just went off to do their own thing.
Great Hall for Dinner
Everybody was eating dinner when Dumbledore tinked the cup. "Now, I just want you to remind you all that Quidditch begins tomorrow," at this people cheered, "and that all the clubs are allowed as long as there is a teacher supervising. Now, Harry Potter has started a new club called Dumbledore's army, which I am thankful for, and whoever wants to join is able to join." At this, Dumbledore smiled at Harry who nodded in response but was shocked to say that his club was made official.
Hermoine asked Harry, "since you're club is official, do you want to start tonight?" Harry looked at her then nodded. "Good, then I'll alert the old DA members that we will be starting tonight. I hope none of the Slytherin comes."
Then she walked off. Meanwhile, Harry went over to the CCS gang. "Hey you guys, do you want to come to the DA's meeting today? We're basically just going to go over some of the Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff."
The CCS gang nodded, Sakura then asked, "who's going to supervise the meeting?" Everybody looked at each other and shrugged.
Then, a familiar voice rang through the Great Hall, "I will be supervising the DA's meeting since I am the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." Everybody agreed at this while Harry sigh of relief.
Dumbledore's Army meeting AKA the Room of Requirement
Every one of the old members of the DA was there, except the sneak (I forgot what her name is, please tell me), talking to one another, chatting about what they're going to learn today. Cho was looking around for Harry, and when she found him, she approached but then she realized that he was talking to Meilin excitedly while Meilin was talking back smiling. Cho was infuriated but kept to herself. Dobby was passing out pumpkin juice as refreshment and everybody was thanking him, he was starting to become Hogwart's favorite elf.
Harry, signaling Eriol that he is starting which Eriol smiled in response, got in front of everyone and murmured an incantation, "Soranus (I think that's increasing your voice spell, right?), welcome everyone, it's so good to see familiar faces, it's also good that our club is back again," at this people cheered, "and it's good to see some new faces in here, what we're going to do is basically practice couple of spells that could be very helpful in hand-to-hand combat, now, we'll go over simple ones like the Disarming curse, the Stunning curse, and the Full Body Bind curse. Then we'll go over more advance spells such as the Patronus Spell, the Mind Breaking Spell," Harry winced a little at what happened last year with Snape, "and we'll all practice the Transfiguring Unicorn blood curse. Any question?"
One hand shot up, which was Dean, and asked, "Will we have a cession to duel?" Everybody agreed at this.
Harry, looking over at Eriol who gave a nod, said, "if the person who is being challenged accepts, then we'll duel."
Then, Cho's voice was heard, "if that's the case, then I want to duel Meilin Li." Everybody was shocked that Cho challenged Meilin but Meilin gladly accepted, after all, she is a Li.
Harry then motioned the two on the dueling platform, which magically appeared as soon as Meilin accepted the challenge (it isn't called the Room of Requirement for no reason). "Now, players, bow to each other," they bowed, "Now, on three, you guys are free to use any technique you wish," then he whispered to Meilin, "be careful," which Meilin gave a small smile. Unfortunately, Cho heard this and was more infuriated. "On three, one, two...THREE!!"
Cho immediately shot Meilin with a Stunning Curse, which Meilin dodged easily by jumping in the air, and then in the air, Meilin shouted, "Patrificus Totalus!" Cho's arm that held the wand became paralyzed and she dropped the wand. She tried to reach it but Meilin, back on the ground, kicked the wand off the platform and pointed the wand directly at Cho. Cho was mad, but she accepted defeat for she didn't have a choice. Everybody in Gryffindor cheered Meilin while Ravenclaw booed her. Harry smiled at Meilin, which Meilin gladly returned, which made Cho burn with anger.
"Now that is out of the way," before he could go on, he was interrupted by the Room of Requirement door being slammed open.
Everybody was glaring at the person, who was Draco with his "bodyguards", but Draco glared back and demanded, "I challenged Syaoran Li on a wand-to- wand, nothing else, duel!" Evidently, he wanted to impress Sakura and get payback for the embarrassment.
Everybody was shouting at Draco and telling him to get lost but Eriol shouted over them, "Since this is an official club, all are invited, either it's someone you like or hate. And if you guys would have listened, Mr. Li has accepted Mr. Malloy's duel." Syaoran was surprised at the no "cute little descendant" remark but shrugged it off and glared at Draco.
"All right, then, duelists, on the platform." He motioned but glared at Draco. "On the count of three, you are allowed to only use wand techniques and nothing else. On three, one, two... THREE!" At this, Draco shouted the Stunning curse but Syaoran shouted, "protego!" A green transparent shield popped up and the Stunning curse reflected making Draco jumped out of the way shaking him up a bit. Using this advantage, Syaoran called off the shield and shouted, "lighting blarus!" Bolts of lighting shot out at Syaoran's wand and hit Draco on full impact causing him to fly out of the dueling platform and onto the wall. The "bodyguards" of Draco immediately ran over to Draco and tried to conjure up a stretcher but forgot how so they just carried him to the hospital wing. Meanwhile, everybody in the room was cheering on Syaoran for his victory over Draco and Sakura hugged him which caused him to go red which made Tomoyo shout out 'kawaii' and videotape them and Eriol just grinning at Syaoran which he answered with a glare.
Harry, satisfied that Draco lost, began again, "as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, today, we will be reviewing Disarming curse, the Stunning curse, and the Mind Breaking curse, but we'll first practice the Disarming curse, everybody get in groups of two and practice."
Everybody grouped and practice while Harry was talking to Eriol about what curses they should practice and other stuff. Spells were flying here and there, sometimes, never hitting the opponent but hitting the walls and grounds. Harry got up and shouted, "I realize that some people tend to weave into another direction, try to keep your wand straight and aim at your opponents hand." So they went back to practicing, shouts of experimus were heard and so on. After about a half of hour practice, everyone turned his or her attention back to Harry.
"Ok, good job on the Disarming curses, now, since this is the first day of DA, we'll end here." Everybody thanked Harry for a great lesson and left. Just as Harry was about to leave, Cho asked him to stay behind so she could talk to him. Hermoine and Ron glared at her but Harry said he'd be fine so they were left alone.
"Hello, Harry." Cho said sweetly.
Harry, if this was last year he would have blush, casually said, "what do you need, Cho?"
Cho looked at him directly in the eyes and said, "Please don't talk until you hear me out." Seeing Harry nod, she continued, "I want you to be my boyfriend again Harry," At this he was shocked but she went on, "I realized that breaking up with you was a total mistake and I realize that Hermoine and you are just friend and I was wondering if we could start all over again, please?" She gave him a pleading look and desperate look, almost.
Harry, getting over the initial shock, responded, "I can't do that, Cho," before Cho could ask why, Harry continued, "I don't like you that way anymore when I realized that you aren't really the girl that I thought you were, and besides, I-I like someone else." Harry was surprised to see that Cho wasn't surprised but angry.
She asked, "Is it Meilin?"
Harry gave her a look that stated 'how the hell did you know that?' before answering, "yes, it's Meilin, I met her at summer and she's such a great person, she has a fiery spirit, but that's one of the things I really like about her."
Cho looked like she was about to destroy England but regained her composure and forced out, "well, I hope you succeed in getting Meilin to like you, I have to go now, bye." With that, Cho stomped off angrily.
Gryffindor Common Room
When Harry entered the room, he was surprised to see Hermoine, Ron, Syaoran, Sakura, Meilin, and Tomoyo waiting on the couches.
Ron was the first to speak up, "So what did she want you for? Does she want you back?"
Hermoine smacked him on the head and retorted, "Are you crazy? Cho would never do that, she's already going out with that other person in Hufflepuff." Before more bickering could be produced,
Harry replied, "She wanted me be her boyfriend again." At this, the argument between Ron and Harry stopped and Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Sakura was shocked that Harry said again while Meilin looked jealous.
Ron stated, "Ha! I was right, Hermoine!"
Hermoine murmured a shut up before turning back to Harry and asked, "You did say no, right? You told her you don't have feelings for her anymore, right?" Everybody was looking at him now, waiting for the answer, especially Meilin.
Harry inhaled then responded; "I told her I have no more feelings for her anymore, that she is not the type of girl I would want to like." Everybody nodded while Ron and Hermoine breath a sigh of relief and Meilin was overjoyed. "Ok, I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed, good night everybody." Everybody replied good night and went off to their beds.
Morning
[Splash] "HOEEEEE!!" Sakura looked around to see our be lovable guardian with the empty water bucket, again. "KEROOO!!!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?" Sakura shouted.
Kero responded, "Well, for one thing, you left me up here all bored and hungry yesterday, and for other thing, you're going to be late for breakfast, again." Sakura yelled a louder "HOEEEE!" before running here and there trying to find her robe and ran out of the girl's dormitory. The CCS gang and HP gang were waiting for her. Sakura looked at them as if they were crazy just sitting on the sofas and she yelled, "C'mon, C'mon, what are you doing?!?! We're going to be late for breakfast!!"
Everybody looked at her weird before Syaoran asked, "But Sakura-chan, we have 30 minutes."
Sakura shouted, "30 minutes!?!?" then looked at the Hogwarts clocked that says 30 minutes till breakfast.
Sakura turned around to see the grinning Keroberos and shouted at him, "KEROOO!! WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP SO EARLY WHEN I STILL HAD 30 MINUTES OF SLEEP!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
Everybody winced at the noise and Kero replied, "Well, isn't it a nice change that you wake up earlier?" Everyone nodded at this, "and it's my revenge for making me be bored and hungry!!" Everyone sweatdropped at this and Sakura was about to retort when Eriol teleported to the room.
"Keroberos, I believe I could solve your dilemma." Said Eriol.
The HP gang were looking at him in shock before Hermoine spoke up, "How did you apparated here? You can't apparated and disapparated in Hogwarts." Eriol just gave her a smile and looked at her until Hermoine slapped her head and said, "Of course, you're Clow Reed, how stupid I could get? You probably used a teleportation spell I heard so much about from Eastern magic."
Eriol smiled at her and said, "yes, that is correct, now, Keroberos, about your dilemma, whenever I am in class teaching DADA, I leave Suppi in Dumbledore's office and he reads to the book or talk to that phoenix that Dumbledore has, now,"
Before he could continue, Hermoine interrupted him, "Guardians could talk to phoenixes?"
Eriol smiled at her and answered, "Yes, guardians have magical entities that makes them capable of speaking in many different tongues, whether it is foreign languages or not even humans." Eriol faced Keroberos, "now, I could take you to Dumbledore's office, I believe he has enchanted a video game called Game Cube and he says you are welcome to play it whenever you wish." At this, Keroberos zoomed out of the Gryffindor common room and to Dumbledore's office.
Everybody sweatdropped at this while Syaoran was murmuring, "stupid game addicted stuff animal." Eriol then turned back to them and said, "Well, I'll see you guys at the Great Hall." Then he teleported right before their eyes. Everybody slowly left for the Great Hall, wondering what excitements await him or her today.
Great Hall
Everybody was eating, still talking about that strange Hoe sounds that they hear every morning, causing Sakura to go red. Dumbledore got up and projected his voice, "As most of you should know already, Hogsmead trip is coming up soon," everybody cheered, "the staffs and I had a meeting yesterday morning and decided that Hogwarts will have its first Quidditch match of the season that starts next week, which is Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff." At this, the players frowned for they didn't practice yet. "Since we did bombard you with this news, every class, starting today, will be cut down to half for a full week so the players could practice Quidditch. And I hope that for every house, you will start your tryouts today, I'm sure Madam Hooch could figure something out as to share the Quidditch field, that is all, have a good day."
Everyone was talking about the new schedule that was announced before Professor McGogonall told him or her to go to class.
Caring for Magical Creatures (that is the name of the class, right?)
Hagrid was standing in front of the class, all looking proud and happy. The Gryffindors had this class with Hufflepuff, luckily not Slytherin. A sheet was covering something and that thing was trying its best not to move.
As soon as everyone settled down, Hagrid began, "today, I have a real special treat for you today. These creatures are really rare and hard to find. In fact, Dumbledore is the only one who has one, although he says he's just keeping him for someone else. Also, someone you all know has one but I won't go on the information, they lend me these fantastic creatures that you should all be familiar with." Then Hagrid uncovered the sheet and everybody gasp, especially Sakura.
Keroberos and Spinal Sun was under those covers and Kero was grinning like crazy. Everybody was murmuring if they were the real things for Keroberos was known all over as the first creation of guardian of the sun and Spinal second.
Hagrid, satisfied that everyone is interested, began, "as you should already know, this lion creature is Keroberos Sun, the guardian beasts of the seal of the Clow cards and a guardian of the sun. Spinal Sun, another guardian of the sun, is currently another creature created by Clow to aid his descendants in battle." Sakura looked confused at the last information until Syaoran told her in Japanese that the witches and wizards believe that Spinal was to aid Clow's descendants and that they don't know that Clow is reincarnated.
"Now," Hagrid continued, "these creatures have many magical abilities and they could also speak, go ahead boys."
Keroberos spoke up, "hello, all, my name is Keroberos, as you all know. I am here to protect my mistress who I won't reveal," At this, people groaned for they really wanted to see the Card Mistress. "The basic about me is given, oh, and the only reason I'm doing is, well, let's just say that Professor Dumbledore owes me a LOT of pudding." Everybody was confused at this but the CCS gang sweatdropped with the HP gang.
It was Suppi's turn this time. "My name is Spinal Sun, as you all know, I am to "aid the Clow's descendant" in battle. The only reason I am doing this is my owner forced me to and he is going to do something to me I hate most if I don't do this." At this, Spinal shuddered.
The CCS gang and the HP gang stifled a giggle for the thing that Spinal hates the most is Nakuru when she wants to feed him sweets.
Hagrid then spoke again, "For the next couple of weeks, we will be studying about these guardians. I will be giving you information, which you will take notes on and these guardians will help me fill in the blanks spots that I have missed. Any questions?"
At this, a boy from Hufflepuff name Kurtis Franklin raised his hand,
"Yes, Mr. Franklin?"
Kurtis began, "How can you prove that these creatures are real?"
Hagrid thought for a moment before answering, "well, for one thing, you see those gems on their forehead?" When Kurtis nodded, Hagrid continued, "Well, those gems are only for guardians, the guardians carry extra energies there and use it whenever they lack energy. The gem also emits powerful energy entities that we will go over later on the week."
Kurtis nodded at this and Hagrid continued his lessons, "well, I will be filling more stuff later on, until then, go ahead and ask these guardians questions."
Several hands rose up, a girls name Sandy Adams was picked, "What do you do in your spare time?" Sandy asked.
Keroberos went first, "well, I like to sleep, play video games, eat pudding, and when I get really bored, I just annoy Suppi right here."
At this, Spinal Sun growled and yelled out, "MY NAME IS NOT SUPPI FOR THE LAST TIME!!! STOP MAKING ME SOUND LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF SOUP!!!" Everybody cowered as Spinal shot out a red beam out of his mouth, which Kero dodged, and they started blasting stuff at each other.
Everybody was taking cover and Sakura was about to use her key when a ray of blue light came from what seems like the DADA classroom and it paralyzed both Suppi and Kero in midair. Everybody was wondering what had happened to them and only the CCS gang and HP gang knew that Eriol must have sent that beam as a warning. After a few seconds, the guardians became unanalyzed and got back in their regular position but glared at each other nonetheless.
Everybody got back to his or her seat still afraid that something would happen. Syaoran, realizing the tensed atmosphere, decided to break off the atmosphere by asking a question, "I want to ask the question directly at the weird, stupid looking lion." Syaoran couldn't say stuff animal for that will raise suspicion so he tried the next best name calling, Kero was glaring at him but couldn't do anything. "Are you smart?" Syaoran asked. Kero looked proud and said, "yes, I'm the smartest creatures in the Eastern region. I know bunch of languages, know what different types of magic there are, and more." Syaoran smirked and answered, "well, if you're so smart, then what is 20 times 15?" Keroberos was taken back by the question but answered, "4000?" (For you slow math people, it's 300) Syaoran laughed out loud causing Kero to growl and was about to shout out a fire but was stopped by Sakura's warning look.
The class went on as people asked Kero and Suppi more questions about what they like and where do they live and who are their favorite wizards and such.
History of Magic
Yukito and Nakuru was greeting people as usual and when everybody settled down, Nakuru began. "Now, I hope you remember your homework," people nodded, "ok, then write on a piece of paper," Nakuru waved her wand and pieces of paper appeared on the students desks. "And write down what you want." Everybody wrote what he or she wanted and was soon collected by Yukito.
Yukito began counting out loud, "Clow Reed, one. Clow Reed, Two. Clow Reed, Three, Clow Cards, one. Clow Reed, four. Clow Cards, two, Clow Cards, three. Keroberos, one. Yue, one." And it went on, in the end, Clow Reed was 19 votes, Clow Cards 15 votes, Yue and Keroberos both 9 votes.
"Ok, since, so many people agree on the same thing, we decided to do it on Clow Reed and his life." Everybody cheered at this. "First, we'll tell you about his life style. Clow Reed's parent was unique. Clow Reed's mother is from a powerful clan in China, Clow Reed's father is British, comes from England. This is how Clow was able to have both Eastern and Western magic, for their parent was both advances in their own magic. Clow's mother trained Clow magically while Clow's father trained him artistically and academically. It didn't mean Clow's mother was dumb; it's just that her magical level was much higher than Clow's father. Clow Reed, at the age of 28, created the 53 Clow Cards. One card, the Void, has the power of the other 52 Clow Cards for the cards need light and dark to balance each other out."
Nakuru stopped to take a breather and to see if everybody was listening, then she continued, "after he created the cards, he created two guardians, Keroberos and Yue, and put them as both the guardian of the cards and make Keroberos take control of half of the cards, the cards Keroberos has power over is known as the Sun cards, and Yue was in control of the other half, them being Moon cards. The Void is neither Moon or Sun, it is it's own card, so powerful that it has it's own element until someone else claims it."
Lavender's hands shot up, "Can you tell us couple of cards that are of Moon and that are of Sun?" Hermoine asked. Nakuru looked at Yukito who nodded and waved her wand, which created an image in front of the class, the Clow book. "Now, the book, as you know it, contains 53 Clow Cards. Cards like Windy are of a Moon spirit; the Woody is another example of the Moon spirit. Cards like the Fiery and the Shot are considering Sun spirits."
This time, Dean's hand shot up, "how can you distinguish Moon spirits from Sun spirits?" This time, Yukito spoke up. "The very first thing to look at is the back, for on the back of a card, it has a symbol of either moon or sun on the back. Another way is by the spirits personalities. If it has a fiery and destructive personality like the Fiery or the Earthy, it's consider being a Sun spirit, while Moon spirits are calm, yet very deadly at the same time. Like the Windy, it's a gentle spirit but at full power, it could create chaos for the world. Of course, some spirits of their type are the opposite, like Watery is a Moon spirit but it's violent, while Mirror is consider a Sun spirit but it's not so violent."
Everyone jotted down these information. After a few more information about Clow Reed like his favorite food, favorite color, and favorite time of the year, the class was over. "Whoever could write me could write down a one pager about Clow Reed in detail form will get 15 points to their house points. Class dismisses." Everyone walked out talking about the exciting things they learned about Clow Reed.
Lunch
Everybody was happily eating their food, thinking how the rest of the day will go, the Gryffindors only had Potions left for the rest of the day the Quidditch players could hold the try-out match. Harry convinced Sakura and Syaoran to join for they had Firebolt, besides, Syaoran always wanted to play Quidditch when he little but he was forced to train and Sakura just like the idea of flying. Everyone finished their breakfast and it was off to Potions.
Potion
Everybody was talking silently till Professor Snape burst from the door and stomped to the front. "Today, we shall begin to create Healing Powders, these powders have great affect on an injure person, although not as strong as a phoenix's tear nor advanced as the hospital wings, it is used mainly to heal scratches and minor burns. Get in group of 4 and get working, the powders should look blue." Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meilin teamed up while Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Neville worked together, mostly to keep Neville out of trouble and not to cost them house points.
After 40 minutes or so, Professor Snape saw that everyone was done so he walked around. He saw Draco's powder in grayish-blue but awarded them 30 points. He saw Harry's powder, which was perfect blue but didn't give them any points but acted like he never saw it, which infuriated the HP gang. He went over to Sakura's powder and saw that it was also perfect blue, he was infuriated that they were able to do things so well and wished they were in Slytherin instead. Snape just passed them but the CCS gang just shrugged. The class ended and everyone was so glad to get out of that wretched class.
Quidditch Pit
Every house was on the field for try-outs so Madam Hooch each assign them a corner and put up a barrier so that other houses can't see what you're doing. The Gryffindors looked around and was satisfied that everyone was there. Since Angelica, the last team captain, has graduated, Harry was chosen as captain for he was on the team since the beginning of his Hogwarts years. Harry was satisfied to see Sakura and Syaoran there with their broom. Everyone was envying Harry's broom, Ron's broom, or Sakura and Syaoran's broom.
Harry spoke out loud, "I want to thank everyone for coming to Gryffindor try-out match. All the Chaser's position and the two Beater's position are open, since our last two beater decided not to play anymore. So whoever wishes to try out for those positions may begin. First up, Ginny Weasly!" Even though Ginny was on the team last year, it was because she was a Seeker and this time, she's trying out for a chaser. Ginny got the quaffle and went straight for the goal with Ron blocking. Ron smirked thinking that Ginny would never be able to shoot it in but Ginny, living with Ron all her life, knows his weakness and strength, and knows which side Ron is weak against. Ginny faked a left, which Ron went for then Ginny shot it at the right and it went it causing Ron to gape.
Ginny came down and was congratulated by several players for outstanding performance. Other people tried out and now it was Sakura's turn.
"Next up, Sakura Kinomoto!" Sakura nervously went up but when she plopped down on her broom, she felt her nervousness fade away. Sakura got the Quaffle and two chasers try to get her but she was too fast and her ability to dodge was amazing, she went straight for the goal and without hesitating, threw the Quaffle straight into the goal making Ron gape twice as hard until he realized who he was up against.
Sakura came down and everybody was cheering for her, Sakura just smiled at them and when Syaoran congratulated her, she hugged him, making some of the Gryffindor guys look up in jealousy but they knew better than to get between these two now. Next were the Beater's tryouts.
After a few people went, Syaoran was up. Syaoran took his broom, got his beater stick, and flew up. As soon as he was in air, Bludgers advanced toward him. He got his stick and whacks the Bludger down causing a large hole on the ground. Then he saw another Bludger coming to his way and didn't have time to swing so he did the next best thing, he put his hand out and grabbed it, and the Bludger tried to squirm out of the hold but was unsuccessful. The Gryffindors were looking up with shock as Syaoran caught a Bludger with one hand, ONE HAND!!
As soon as the whistle blow, Syaoran came down and looked at other people's faces which were filled with shock. Only Sakura came up to him and gave him a hug and congratulation. Everybody got over their shock and congratulated Syaoran for such an awesome performance.
Harry, regaining his position, spoke out loud, "The result for the Quidditch team will be posted in the Gryffindor common room, and for those who did not make it, thank you for trying your best, that is all." Everybody then suited up and went straight for dinner.
