~*~ Recap ~*~
"What is taking them so long?" asked Li.
"I'm hungry, they better hurry up." Said Ron.
Just then they heard it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What was that?" asked Eli and Harry.
Just then Madison, Ginny and Hermione ran down the stairs. Hermione hid behind Ron, Madison behind Eli and Ginny behind Harry.
"I don't suppose you did something." Said Li.
"Who us?" asked Madison.
Just then Sakura stepped down the stairs soaking wet.
"MADISON!!!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!!" Yelled Sakura.
"Uh...oh...if I were you guys I'd run." Said Madison sprinting for the door. Sakura clapped her hands together and she was in her school robes but her hair was still wet.
The others saw her glare and started running after Madison.
"Madison, you said her brother did this every morning, what happened after that?" asked Ginny.
"Uh...oops left that part up, well, after being chased around the house she'd kick him to a bloody pulp!" said Madison.
"MADISON!" called Sakura.
"RUN!!!" yelled the group.
~*~ Great hall ~*~
"MADISON!" was heard.
"RUN!!!" was heard after.
"What's going on?" asked Dumbledore.
Just then a very tired Madison, Li, Eli, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione burst in. Then a very angry looking Sakura came in.
"Madison! Get your butt back here right now and-" started but looked at the staff table and saw....

Chapter four
The new DADA teacher... ~*~
"Mrs. Mackenzie?!(sp?)" Shouted Sakura, Madison, Li, and Eli. They looked at each other then Sakura and Madison pointed at Li and Eli as Li and Eli did the same just pointing at the girls, and shouted at the same time.
"You know her?!" they asked, they looked at each other again.
"Yeah!" they said at the same time, they looked shocked at first, and then asked,
"Now do YOU know her?!" Emphasizing the word you. Everyone was watching in amusement as they asked the same questions at the same time.
"She came to Japan for...business," said Sakura and Madison, "what about you?"
"She came... for business..." the boys replied.
Then there was an awkward silence in the great hall; you would've heard a pin fall if anyone had one.
Then Professor Dumbledore spoke up.
"Now for introductions, as you know, this lovely lady here is your new DADA teacher her name is Mrs. Mackenzie, though if you have her last today, it's 2 hours. Ok eat up." He said.
Food appeared on the plate like the many times before. Sakura, Madison, Li, and Eli all took a seat.
After they all ate breakfast the plates were clean and disappeared. Sakura stood up, "ok guys, I'll meet you in class." Said Sakura. Madison looked at her worriedly as did the others.
"Don't worry, meet me there." Said Sakura. The other nodded still not sure, and left.
"Mrs. Mackenzie, it's nice to see you again." Said Sakura.
"It's nice to see you too Sakura, it's been awhile. How've you been?"
"Ok, I guess, how about you?"
"Ok, but I don't think this is what you want to talk about is it?"
"Well, no, since only you, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Madison know of my identity, could we talk about this later?" whispered Sakura.
"Why yes, of course, during dinner would that be ok?"
"Yeah, that's fine, thank you." And Sakura left, leaving the professors who don't know her identity in confusion.
~*~ First class ~*~
"OK, Class, take out your books, on page 79 and take down the notes in the book, I'll go get the plants." Said the herbology professor.
=Sakura, what did you ask Mrs. Mackenzie? = Asked Madison.
Sakura looked around with the corner of her eyes, and noticed some students were looking at them and remembered Li and Eli speak Japanese too.
=Um. I'll tell you later Madison. Not now. = Said Sakura and went back to work.
[Sorry I forgot they speak Japanese too... so what did you ask her?] Asked Madison telepathically to Sakura.
[Well, I could talk about the cards in front of some Professors so she told me to talk to her later.] Said Sakura.
[Ok then, but what are you going to tell her?] Asked Madison.
They kept talking telepathically with the others not knowing. This continued during class, soon enough class was over and they headed for Potions.
~*~ Snape ~*~
"Dumbledore, I'll be seeing Voldemort tonight." Said Snape.
"Are you sure you would like to go?"
"Of course, we need to know his plans, besides I have prepared a potion to heal my wounds faster, and by afternoon tomorrow there won't be anything but a red line."
"well if you insist, but please do be careful tonight."
"I will, I better be on my way." And with that he left.
~*~ class ~*~
Snape just stepped in, and sat at the desk.
"Instructions are on the book, work with the person next to you and start the Nightmares Gift. And hand in your essay." He said.
The students stood up and gave in their essay.
"Now get started." He said grumpily.
Sakura was wondering why he was grumpier today so she decided to peek in his mind.
*Well, tonight is going to be one looonnnggg night. * He thought. *Wonder what his test of loyalty is this time? *
Sakura stopped peeking and wondered what he was going to do tonight.
Sakura went back to work still thinking about what he was thinking.
Soon they finished their work and handed it in. and it was lunch.
~*~ Great Hall ~*~
"Madison, have you seen Sakura?" asked Harry.
"No," Madison looked at the staff table and saw Mrs. Mackenzie, "wonder where she is." Madison stood up and walked to the staff table.
"Mrs. Mackenzie, have you seen Sakura?" she asked.
"No, haven't seen her since this morning I'm afraid." She replied.
Madison looked worried for a second, "ok then see you later I guess." And left.
Madison closed her eyes and searched for Sakura's aura.
"I can't feel it." Whispered Madison.
"Can't feel what?" asked a voice in back of her. Madison turned around to see Eli and Li.
"Um...can't feel the breeze. Yeah. That's it, can't feel the breeze."
Li and Eli looked at each other, "well of course you can't feel the breeze we are inside." Said Li.
Harry and the others waited outside the doors (it's free time now!! Just to let you know.) For Sakura.
[Sakura! Can you hear me?] asked Madison.
[Yeah, what up?] asked Sakura.
[Sakura! Where are you?]
[I'm at the quidditch pitch.]
[ok, I'll meet you there, want me to bring you a snack?]
[yeah, sure.]
[ok.]
"Guys, come on, I have to get bread." Said Madison.
"why?" asked Ron.
"to give Sakura something to eat."
Madison took bread from the table and started walking out to the quidditch pitch.
"Madison, I thought you said you didn't know where Sakura is." Said Harry.
"Yeah, but... then I... um remembered she went to the quidditch pitch." Said Madison.
Once they got there they saw Sakura in sweat pants and a t-shirt, as if she were training.
Madison stopped knowing Sakura didn't like being interrupted.
Sakura had her eyes close, and started attacking an invisible person. With out opening her eyes, she turned to her friends, "hey guys," Sakura opened her eyes.
"what's up?" she asked.
"nothing, but what were you doing?" asked Hermione.
"Training. How do you think I beat Malfoy who knows how many times?"
"do you HAVE to train, or is it your pass time." Asked Ginny.
"well, when I was younger I didn't have to, but my brother taught me so I can defend my self, but now I train cause... well you'll know why soon enough. Hey does anyone here know martial arts?"
"we do." Said Li pointing to him self and Eli.
"cool, lets fight, you two against me, the others keep score, I haven't trained against someone in a long time."
"but won't it be unfair?" asked Hermione.
"yeah, they would probably beat you." Said Ron.
"well, we will see. Eli and Li as a team, me alone. Lets see if you're good." Said Sakura as she got into fight stance.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Said Harry, obviously worried.
Just then the bell rang.
"oh well, an other time I guess. Lets go to class." Said Sakura she clapped her hands together and she was in her robes. Then they headed to class as Sakura ate the bread Madison brought out.
~*~ Class ~*~
"Now, we are still learning about Salaibours, can any one tell me which kinds of magic they work well with?" asked the professor. Four hands shot up.
"Hermione, name one."
"a high level of Magic can control them."
"Good, Li."
"Ability in power can help them."
"Good Eli."
"A caring for animals, will tell them that you will not harm them."
"Very Good. Sakura."
"Sorcery, can Communicate with them, control them, help them, care for them, and it's known that the Salaibours, used to be the pets of that kind in magic, that sorcerers and sorceresses were the only ones that actually cared for them at first."
"Very good, 80 points to Gryffindor. Now, can ay one please tell me why they only attract those four qualities?"
No hands went up, as they were thinking of an answer. After a few moments, Hagrid answered.
"Well, they attract to those four qualities because those were the first thing they learn, from those types of magic." He explained, "Now, I want you to finish your essay which is due tomorrow. Now are there any questions?"
one hand rose.
"yes Sakura." He asked.
"um, can I study the Salaibours for a bit, like their fur, eyes, see how well tamed they are?" she asked.
"sure go ahead." He said bring one Salaibour up.
Sakura knelt eye level with the Salaibour, looked deeply into her light brown close to orange eyes, and stroked her fur absent minded.
'Card Mistress.' Something called.
Sakura's head shot up, looked around a bit and noticed no one was looking at her, well she thought no one was looking at her, but Harry and co. and Eli and Li were looking at her with the corner of their eyes. Sakura set her eyes back at the Salaibour.
'Card Mistress, it's me, the Salaibour, I am sorry to startle you Mistress, but I want to warn you.' Said the female Salaibour.
"You-you can talk to me through my mind." Sakura whispered to the Salaibour.
'Yes. Now Mistress, please you must listen carefully.'
"Ok, but please call me Sakura."
'Alright then, call me Wind, now listen, one of your professors is in great danger.' Said Wind.
"I think I know who... But please continue." Whispered Sakura.
'Yes, you are correct Professor Snape is in great danger from the Dark Lord.' Said Wind.
"Oh... so that's what's been bothering him... oh sorry continue."
'Ok, well later tonight, try to sneak out, and find him before he gets hurt... Please he is the one you saved us from danger, he is really a kind man.' Said Wind.
"Ok, I'll do my best in finding him." Sakura smiled.
'If you have a problem finding him, call me... I'll help you along with Fire over there.'
"Ok, I'll do that... oh but how do I call you?"
'Just whistle like the wind, and we will come to you.'
"Ok." Sakura smiled once again, stroking Wind's fur Not noticing the bell rang, and Madison calling her.
"Sakura!" Madison called for the 10th time.
Sakura snapped out of her thought and looked behind her. Madison and her friends were looking at her worriedly.
"Um, sorry 1 minute." Said Sakura turning back to Wind, "see you tonight I guess."
'Alright Sakura and please do be careful, your future ahead of you is quite rough, and OUR future is in you hands, you will bring peace to our world. Remember that Sakura.'
Sakura looked at the Salaibour confused gave her one more smile and left with her friends.
"Sakura didn't you hear us, we called you ten times, and it seems that you didn't hear the bell either. What's wrong?" Asked Madison.
"Nothing is wrong Madison, just... got distracted." Said Sakura.
"But what was there to get distract you?" asked a voice from behind.
Sakura turned around to see Dumbledore.
"Professor, Oh just the scenery I guess." Said Sakura.
But Dumbledore knew better.
"So what have you learned in COMC?" he asked.
"We are learning about Salaibours Professor." Said Hermione.
"Salaibours, quite interesting creatures." He said.
"Well we best be going to our next class Professor." Said Eli.
And they left with a last wave.
"I wouldn't see why she was distracted." Said Dumbledore to himself.
And started walking to his office wondering what the Salaibours had said to Sakura.
~*~ Last class ~*~
"ok class, my name is Mrs. Mackenzie, I will tell you about myself, and if I leave anything out, please do not hesitate to ask me." Said the Professor, "I have traveled all around the world, studying all kinds of magic. I have had my experience against dark magic, and I originally come from England. (Does she?)"
One hand rose.
"Yes Miss Kazuki?" she asked.
"Professor, what is your connection between Sakura, Madison, Eli and Li?" asked the Ravenclaw Student.
"Well, you see when I traveled I went to Japan and Hong Kong for business as they put it. Anyting else?"
No hands went up.
"Ok then, lets start this lesson. This year, you will learn combat with Magic, Weapons like swords, and Hand to hand Combat. Which would you like to start with?" she asked.
They all shouted which one they wanted most.
"Well since I didn't quite get that," the professor giggled, "lets try a vote instead."
The students nodded their heads.
"Ok, who wants to start with Magic?" only a few hands went up.
"Ok, how about Weapons?" a fair amount went up.
"Good, Hand to Hand combat?" the same amount for weapons went up.
"Ok, since there is a tie between Weapons, and Hand to hand combat, we will try one more time. Who want Hand to hand combat?" she asked.
A little less than half of the hands went up.
"Ok, Weapons?" the rest of the hands went up, which was a bit more than half.
"Well, Weapons wins. Ok, I want you to read the short paragraph on how to use a sword on page 34 in your book, and in a few moments I'll get the weapons and we will start fighting." She said and left to room to get the swords.
The students got a bit worried that they were going to fight with REAL swords, but some were calm about it. They read the paragraph on how to use swords and soon after the professor came back.
"Very good. Now everyone get a sword." She said.
Sakura raised her hand.
"Yes Sakura?"
"Professor, um can I use my own?" she asked.
"Of course."
"Thank you." Said Sakura as she smile, everyone looked at her wondering why she had a sword. Sakura stood up, and closed her eyes, she glowed a bit, then there was a flash of pink and sword appeared in front of her. Sakura opened her eyes and smile at her sword and took it in her hands.
Li raised his hand.
"Yes Li?" asked the professor.
"Professor, If Sakura could have her own sword, can Eli and I have our won too?" asked Li.
"Of course." Said the professor. The class wasn't surprised he would ask, they knew they had swords for they used to train every morning.
Eli and Li took out a pendant and it glowed and turned into a sword.
"Now, that everyone has a sword, who would like to go first?" she asked.
No hands went up.
"Well then, I'll just have to choice randomly. She took out the list and closed her eyes, and put her finger on the paper.
"First Li Showran against," she closed her eyes again, and put her finger down and opened her eyes again. "against Sakura Avalon." She smile.
The two students stood up and walked onto the mats.
One student from Gryffindor spoke out loud. "But professor, wouldn't that be unfair?"
"Well, we will see." Said the professor.
"Well Li, since I didn't get a chance to fight you outside, I could fight you now." Said Sakura.
"Are you sure... I thought you were joking about that." Said Li.
"Me, joke about training, I don't think so."
"Ok, now get positioned. And on go, you start...1...2...3. Go!" Said the professor.
Li launched himself at Sakura, some student closed there eyes, waited for the scream of pain, but instead got the sound of metal hitting each other, the student opened their closed eyes, and saw Sakura hold her sword in front of her face, blocking Li's.
Sakura forced her sword up, and launched her self at Li, Li block her attacked and bent down to trip her, Sakura fell on her back. Li was about to cut Sakura, but she rolled over and got up. Li was going to attack full force, but Sakura did a flip and landed behind him. She turned around on time to block the sword that was coming at her face.
"Sakura, you got talent." Said Li.
"You too. But don't put your guard down." Sakura bent down and tripped him, he fell but took her ankle and pulled her down. Li got up and was going to strike when Sakura got up and did a back flip that almost kicked him in the face.
"Well, you shouldn't put your guard down easily either." He said.
"I'll keep that in mind." As she charged towards him, if she hadn't stopped and looked out the window she would've sent him flying to the wall. (Do they have a window in that class?) Sakura sensed a dark magic, unfortunately Lil didn't sense anything, and was going to charge when the teacher stopped him.
"Ok, the bell will ring any minute, we will continue next class." Said the Professor, looking worriedly at Sakura whose sword disappeared. The student wondered why she stopped but didn't question it.
»BRING»
The bell rang, everyone gathered their stuff, and headed to their dorms to put everything.
~*~Great Hall ~*~
"you should of seen them!" said Ron.
"Ron, Shut up already!" said Li, not wanting the attention.
"Ok." Said Ron. Harry looked around and noticed Sakura wasn't with them.
"Hey guys, where is Sakura?" he asked.
The others looked around, and noticed she wasn't with them either.
"I don't know." Said Hermione.
~*~ Sakura ~*~
Sakura just got out the Hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey said that her wound had healed. And now Sakura was headed to the DADA classroom to talk to Mrs. Mackenzie.
Once she arrived, she saw Mrs Mackenzie there waiting.
"Sakura, tell me what you wanted to tell me earlier." She said.
"Well, I had this dream with a new enemy, and Voldemort wanting my cards. I think I'm a danger to the school." Said Sakura sadly.
"Oh dear, don't think that, you are here for a reason or two. Some you may not know, but one of them you do. Which is to protect the one who lived."
"I know. But, it's difficult protecting some from danger when you are in danger your self."
"true, but don't worry dear, everything will be alright."
Sakura smiled. "Thank you. For everything Mrs. Mackenzie."
"Oh no problem dear, now lets go to dinner." As they left.
~*~ Great hall ~*~
"Madison, have you seen Sakura, she isn't here." Said Ginny.
"No, haven't seen her since class."
"And the DADA teacher isn't here either." Said Eli.
Madison looked at the staff table, and Mrs Mackenzie wasn't there. Just then the doors opened and revealed Sakura and Mrs Mackenzie.
All the student were wondering what they were talking about, and why they were both late, but putting it at the side of their minds, they continued what they were doing.
~*~ Snape ~*~
after the dinner Snape got ready to go see Voldemort. He went to the forest, deeper and deeper into the long trail, soon he saw a man in a cloak.
"My lord." He said.
"Ah, Snape, I thought you wouldn't come. Now, I want you to find the Clow cards, and tell me Dumbledore's plans now." Said a cold voice.
"I wasn't able to find out any plans from Dumbledore my lord." Said Snape.
"Are you sure? Or are you just hiding it?" asked the voice.
"no lord, I have not heard any new plans of Dumbledore."
"well, you test... AVADA KEDAVRA!" he shouted as a light went and Hit Snape in the stomach.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" The disarming spell.
Voldemort kept throwing spells, until Snape was on the ground.
"Now, I have complete faith in you to do this one task." His cold voice rang in the forest.
"and- what's- that?" asked Snape his voice sounded in deep pain.
"I want you to find the holder of the cards, the Clow cards. And bring them to me." He said. And with that he disappeared.
Snape held onto a tree and stood up, he stumbled but managed to walk to the front of the forest where he clasped and darkness took over him as he fell unconscious.
~*~ Sakura's Dream ~*~
Sakura was walking around and saw only darkness, then there was a flash and showed a dark area, the school, snow, with blood every where, there was a war. War between the dark lord and the wizards. Then an other flash, and showed a place where people were being bossed around. Then it was dark again.
"So which one did you like better?" asked a Voice.
"None!" said Sakura knowing who it is.
"Are you sure, well if voldemort get your cards, war will happen, if you give me your cards, no war, but people will work for me, I think it's much better." Said the voice.
"I'm not going to give you my cards!" said Sakura, "the only way to get them is to kill me first!"
"But, I cannot kill you, for I need you to control the cars, they won't listen to me since I'm not their master."
"Then don't get the cards, cause I'm not going to join you." Said Sakura.
"I'll let you think about it. Till next time." Said the voice. And Sakura woke up.
~*~ end of Dream ~*~
Sakura jolted out of bed, and remembered she had to find her Potions Professor.
Sakura slipped out of the dorm and found a way to get out side, as soon as she got out, she was met by.............

"well, when I was younger I didn't have to, but my brother taught me so I can defend my self, but now I train cause... well you'll know why soon enough. Hey does anyone here know martial arts?"
"we do." Said Li pointing to him self and Eli.
"cool, lets fight, you two against me, the others keep score, I haven't trained against someone in a long time."
"but won't it be unfair?" asked Hermione.
"yeah, they would probably beat you." Said Ron.
"well, we will see. Eli and Li as a team, me alone. Lets see if you're good." Said Sakura as she got into fight stance.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Said Harry, obviously worried.
Just then the bell rang.
"oh well, an other time I guess. Lets go to class." Said Sakura she clapped her hands together and she was in her robes. Then they headed to class as Sakura ate the bread Madison brought out.
~*~ Class ~*~
"Now, we are still learning about Salaibours, can any one tell me which kinds of magic they work well with?" asked the professor. Four hands shot up.
"Hermione, name one."
"a high level of Magic can control them."
"Good, Li."
"Ability in power can help them."
"Good Eli."
"A caring for animals, will tell them that you will not harm them."
"Very Good. Sakura."
"Sorcery, can Communicate with them, control them, help them, care for them, and it's known that the Salaibours, used to be the pets of that kind in magic, that sorcerers and sorceresses were the only ones that actually cared for them at first."
"Very good, 80 points to Gryffindor. Now, can ay one please tell me why they only attract those four qualities?"
No hands went up, as they were thinking of an answer. After a few moments, Hagrid answered.
"Well, they attract to those four qualities because those were the first thing they learn, from those types of magic." He explained, "Now, I want you to finish your essay which is due tomorrow. Now are there any questions?"
one hand rose.
"yes Sakura." He asked.
"um, can I study the Salaibours for a bit, like their fur, eyes, see how well tamed they are?" she asked.
"sure go ahead." He said bring one Salaibour up.
Sakura knelt eye level with the Salaibour, looked deeply into her light brown close to orange eyes, and stroked her fur absent minded.
'Card Mistress.' Something called.
Sakura's head shot up, looked around a bit and noticed no one was looking at her, well she thought no one was looking at her, but Harry and co. and Eli and Li were looking at her with the corner of their eyes. Sakura set her eyes back at the Salaibour.
'Card Mistress, it's me, the Salaibour, I am sorry to startle you Mistress, but I want to warn you.' Said the female Salaibour.
"You-you can talk to me through my mind." Sakura whispered to the Salaibour.
'Yes. Now Mistress, please you must listen carefully.'
"Ok, but please call me Sakura."
'Alright then, call me Wind, now listen, one of your professors is in great danger.' Said Wind.
"I think I know who... But please continue." Whispered Sakura.
'Yes, you are correct Professor Snape is in great danger from the Dark Lord.' Said Wind.
"Oh... so that's what's been bothering him... oh sorry continue."
'Ok, well later tonight, try to sneak out, and find him before he gets hurt... Please he is the one you saved us from danger, he is really a kind man.' Said Wind.
"Ok, I'll do my best in finding him." Sakura smiled.
'If you have a problem finding him, call me... I'll help you along with Fire over there.'
"Ok, I'll do that... oh but how do I call you?"
'Just whistle like the wind, and we will come to you.'
"Ok." Sakura smiled once again, stroking Wind's fur Not noticing the bell rang, and Madison calling her.
"Sakura!" Madison called for the 10th time.
Sakura snapped out of her thought and looked behind her. Madison and her friends were looking at her worriedly.
"Um, sorry 1 minute." Said Sakura turning back to Wind, "see you tonight I guess."
'Alright Sakura and please do be careful, your future ahead of you is quite rough, and OUR future is in you hands, you will bring peace to our world. Remember that Sakura.'
Sakura looked at the Salaibour confused gave her one more smile and left with her friends.
"Sakura didn't you hear us, we called you ten times, and it seems that you didn't hear the bell either. What's wrong?" Asked Madison.
"Nothing is wrong Madison, just... got distracted." Said Sakura.
"But what was there to get distract you?" asked a voice from behind.
Sakura turned around to see Dumbledore.
"Professor, Oh just the scenery I guess." Said Sakura.
But Dumbledore knew better.
"So what have you learned in COMC?" he asked.
"We are learning about Salaibours Professor." Said Hermione.
"Salaibours, quite interesting creatures." He said.
"Well we best be going to our next class Professor." Said Eli.
And they left with a last wave.
"I wouldn't see why she was distracted." Said Dumbledore to himself.
And started walking to his office wondering what the Salaibours had said to Sakura.
~*~ Last class ~*~
"ok class, my name is Mrs. Mackenzie, I will tell you about myself, and if I leave anything out, please do not hesitate to ask me." Said the Professor, "I have traveled all around the world, studying all kinds of magic. I have had my experience against dark magic, and I originally come from England. (Does she?)"
One hand rose.
"Yes Miss Kazuki?" she asked.
"Professor, what is your connection between Sakura, Madison, Eli and Li?" asked the Ravenclaw Student.
"Well, you see when I traveled I went to Japan and Hong Kong for business as they put it. Anyting else?"
No hands went up.
"Ok then, lets start this lesson. This year, you will learn combat with Magic, Weapons like swords, and Hand to hand Combat. Which would you like to start with?" she asked.
They all shouted which one they wanted most.
"Well since I didn't quite get that," the professor giggled, "lets try a vote instead."
The students nodded their heads.
"Ok, who wants to start with Magic?" only a few hands went up.
"Ok, how about Weapons?" a fair amount went up.
"Good, Hand to Hand combat?" the same amount for weapons went up.
"Ok, since there is a tie between Weapons, and Hand to hand combat, we will try one more time. Who want Hand to hand combat?" she asked.
A little less than half of the hands went up.
"Ok, Weapons?" the rest of the hands went up, which was a bit more than half.
"Well, Weapons wins. Ok, I want you to read the short paragraph on how to use a sword on page 34 in your book, and in a few moments I'll get the weapons and we will start fighting." She said and left to room to get the swords.
The students got a bit worried that they were going to fight with REAL swords, but some were calm about it. They read the paragraph on how to use swords and soon after the professor came back.
"Very good. Now everyone get a sword." She said.
Sakura raised her hand.
"Yes Sakura?"
"Professor, um can I use my own?" she asked.
"Of course."
"Thank you." Said Sakura as she smile, everyone looked at her wondering why she had a sword. Sakura stood up, and closed her eyes, she glowed a bit, then there was a flash of pink and sword appeared in front of her. Sakura opened her eyes and smile at her sword and took it in her hands.
Li raised his hand.
"Yes Li?" asked the professor.
"Professor, If Sakura could have her own sword, can Eli and I have our won too?" asked Li.
"Of course." Said the professor. The class wasn't surprised he would ask, they knew they had swords for they used to train every morning.
Eli and Li took out a pendant and it glowed and turned into a sword.
"Now, that everyone has a sword, who would like to go first?" she asked.
No hands went up.
"Well then, I'll just have to choice randomly. She took out the list and closed her eyes, and put her finger on the paper.
"First Li Showran against," she closed her eyes again, and put her finger down and opened her eyes again. "against Sakura Avalon." She smile.
The two students stood up and walked onto the mats.
One student from Gryffindor spoke out loud. "But professor, wouldn't that be unfair?"
"Well, we will see." Said the professor.
"Well Li, since I didn't get a chance to fight you outside, I could fight you now." Said Sakura.
"Are you sure... I thought you were joking about that." Said Li.
"Me, joke about training, I don't think so."
"Ok, now get positioned. And on go, you start...1...2...3. Go!" Said the professor.
Li launched himself at Sakura, some student closed there eyes, waited for the scream of pain, but instead got the sound of metal hitting each other, the student opened their closed eyes, and saw Sakura hold her sword in front of her face, blocking Li's.
Sakura forced her sword up, and launched her self at Li, Li block her attacked and bent down to trip her, Sakura fell on her back. Li was about to cut Sakura, but she rolled over and got up. Li was going to attack full force, but Sakura did a flip and landed behind him. She turned around on time to block the sword that was coming at her face.
"Sakura, you got talent." Said Li.
"You too. But don't put your guard down." Sakura bent down and tripped him, he fell but took her ankle and pulled her down. Li got up and was going to strike when Sakura got up and did a back flip that almost kicked him in the face.
"Well, you shouldn't put your guard down easily either." He said.
"I'll keep that in mind." As she charged towards him, if she hadn't stopped and looked out the window she would've sent him flying to the wall. (Do they have a window in that class?) Sakura sensed a dark magic, unfortunately Lil didn't sense anything, and was going to charge when the teacher stopped him.
"Ok, the bell will ring any minute, we will continue next class." Said the Professor, looking worriedly at Sakura whose sword disappeared. The student wondered why she stopped but didn't question it.
»BRING»
The bell rang, everyone gathered their stuff, and headed to their dorms to put everything.
~*~Great Hall ~*~
"you should of seen them!" said Ron.
"Ron, Shut up already!" said Li, not wanting the attention.
"Ok." Said Ron. Harry looked around and noticed Sakura wasn't with them.
"Hey guys, where is Sakura?" he asked.
The others looked around, and noticed she wasn't with them either.
"I don't know." Said Hermione.
~*~ Sakura ~*~
Sakura just got out the Hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey said that her wound had healed. And now Sakura was headed to the DADA classroom to talk to Mrs. Mackenzie.
Once she arrived, she saw Mrs Mackenzie there waiting.
"Sakura, tell me what you wanted to tell me earlier." She said.
"Well, I had this dream with a new enemy, and Voldemort wanting my cards. I think I'm a danger to the school." Said Sakura sadly.
"Oh dear, don't think that, you are here for a reason or two. Some you may not know, but one of them you do. Which is to protect the one who lived."
"I know. But, it's difficult protecting some from danger when you are in danger your self."
"true, but don't worry dear, everything will be alright."
Sakura smiled. "Thank you. For everything Mrs. Mackenzie."
"Oh no problem dear, now lets go to dinner." As they left.
~*~ Great hall ~*~
"Madison, have you seen Sakura, she isn't here." Said Ginny.
"No, haven't seen her since class."
"And the DADA teacher isn't here either." Said Eli.
Madison looked at the staff table, and Mrs Mackenzie wasn't there. Just then the doors opened and revealed Sakura and Mrs Mackenzie.
All the student were wondering what they were talking about, and why they were both late, but putting it at the side of their minds, they continued what they were doing.
~*~ Snape ~*~
after the dinner Snape got ready to go see Voldemort. He went to the forest, deeper and deeper into the long trail, soon he saw a man in a cloak.
"My lord." He said.
"Ah, Snape, I thought you wouldn't come. Now, I want you to find the Clow cards, and tell me Dumbledore's plans now." Said a cold voice.
"I wasn't able to find out any plans from Dumbledore my lord." Said Snape.
"Are you sure? Or are you just hiding it?" asked the voice.
"no lord, I have not heard any new plans of Dumbledore."
"well, you test... AVADA KEDAVRA!" he shouted as a light went and Hit Snape in the stomach.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" The disarming spell.
Voldemort kept throwing spells, until Snape was on the ground.
"Now, I have complete faith in you to do this one task." His cold voice rang in the forest.
"and- what's- that?" asked Snape his voice sounded in deep pain.
"I want you to find the holder of the cards, the Clow cards. And bring them to me." He said. And with that he disappeared.
Snape held onto a tree and stood up, he stumbled but managed to walk to the front of the forest where he clasped and darkness took over him as he fell unconscious.
~*~ Sakura's Dream ~*~
Sakura was walking around and saw only darkness, then there was a flash and showed a dark area, the school, snow, with blood every where, there was a war. War between the dark lord and the wizards. Then an other flash, and showed a place where people were being bossed around. Then it was dark again.
"So which one did you like better?" asked a Voice.
"None!" said Sakura knowing who it is.
"Are you sure, well if voldemort get your cards, war will happen, if you give me your cards, no war, but people will work for me, I think it's much better." Said the voice.
"I'm not going to give you my cards!" said Sakura, "the only way to get them is to kill me first!"
"But, I cannot kill you, for I need you to control the cars, they won't listen to me since I'm not their master."
"Then don't get the cards, cause I'm not going to join you." Said Sakura.
"I'll let you think about it. Till next time." Said the voice. And Sakura woke up.
~*~ end of Dream ~*~
Sakura jolted out of bed, and remembered she had to find her Potions Professor.
Sakura slipped out of the dorm and found a way to get out side, as soon as she got out, she was met by.............
