A/N: ok I'm writing this fic as it comes into my mind ok? So don't blame me, blame my imagination if it's lame or crap. ^_^ I hope you like it though. Please leave a review. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own CCS and the world of Harry Potter. And if I did, I would've paired eriol and tomoyo in the actual series. ^_^
___________________________________________________________________
Ding-dong!
Tomoyo heard a lot of shuffling inside, and suddenly, the door of room 1548 swung open, revealing a tall, slender girl with auburn hair and green-eyes.
For a moment, both girls stared at each other, somewhat in a state of shock or maybe surprise. Then suddenly the auburn-haired girl lunged forward and enveloped Tomoyo in a very tight hug.
"Tomoyo! It's you! It's really you!" she was crying.
Tomoyo returned her friend's hug and said, quite teary eyed, "Yes Sakura, it's me. It's really me."
Sakura pulled back, sniffed and ushered her in.
"I'm so glad you came. I didn't know what to do. E-evrything's a mess back at home. A-and I didn't know who else to call, I was sure that you wouldn't be able to talk to me at all, an n-ow you're here, and y-you don't know h-how grateful I am that you're here." And then Sakura started crying all over again.
Tomoyo quickly pulled her best friend into a hug. "There, there, it's ok" she patted her friend. "You know I'll always be here. I won't ever leave you, you know that don't you?" She felt her friend nod against her shoulders. "We'll talk about it later ok? Just rest for now." And with that, she slowly stood up, taking Sakura with her and led her to her bed.
"Tomoyo?" whispered Sakura.
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"For not being able to talk to you properly after you came through so much trouble just to come here."
"Nah, its ok Sakura, that's what friends are for right? I'm just glad to be here for you."
"Thank... [Yawn]...you…To...m...o… [Snore]" Sakura fell asleep.
The raven haired girl smiled at her self and shook her head.
Tomoyo was about to leave Sakura's room and go to her own when suddenly she heard a whisper.
She held her breath and looked cautiously around the dark room thinking there might be someone else Sakura's sleeping with. But that's impossible. Who could she be with? She said she needed someone to talk to her didn't she? That's why I-
"To-mo-y-o…." she heard someone whisper.
Tomoyo began to get scared. She wanted to scream right then and there but she remembered Sakura's sleeping and didn't want to wake her up.
Her heart pounding, she listened again.
Nothing.
I really should rest more. I'm starting to imagine things.
"It's me Tomoyo" whispered the voice again.
This time Tomoyo knew she wasn't imagining things. She reached for her wand and muttered, "Lumos!" the tip of her wand glowed and a dim light emerged from it. It was enough to make her see the whole room but not disturb Sakura's sleep.
Tomoyo looked around and saw nothing.
Suddenly she felt a cold gasp of air blow at her and it was then she noticed the window opened.
Hmm... That's weird… I don't remember seeing the window open… mustn't have noticed it.
She walked towards the window to close it. But before she did, she took a look outside. They were on the 15th floor so the people and cars below looked small. She looked on the ledge of the building.
Nothing.
Suddenly something big and feathery swooped down passed her.
It took her by surprise that if she didn't have time to cover her mouth, she would have woken the whole hotel with her scream.
Phew! Just an owl. Probably bothering someone by sending another letter at this time of the night. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. People these days… do they really think people like me would appreciate being disturbed during their only time to rest and sleep? When will they ever learn?
Shaking her head, Tomoyo closed the window, having found nothing; she quietly went out of the room and into her own.
.: the next morning:.
Ringringringringring! Ringringringringringring!
Tomoyo groaned while reaching for the alarm clock. She pushed the snooze button and immediately fell back to sleep.
.:after 5 minutes:.
Ringringringringring! ringringringringringringriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggg!!!!!!!!!
Tomoyo blinked her eyes open, looked at the alarm clock and closed her eyes again. After a moment or two, her eyes popped open and she looked again at the clock to make sure she saw right.
11:00 a.m.
Oh no! It's really this late? I knew I should've used a spell to keep from waking up too late! Now what will Rika think of me?
Tomoyo jumped up from her bed, got in the shower, dressed up, and when she was fixing her hair, she heard her door bell ring.
She got up, went to the door and peeped in the hole where you can see the person in front of your door.
She saw Sakura also dressed up. Tomoyo wondered what Sakura has planned for the day. She hasn't told Sakura yet about her meeting with Rika and Mr. Terada.
The moment Tomoyo opened the door, Sakura peeped in and asked if Tomoyo had any plans this day.
"well, actually yes, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you last night."
Sakura blushed and said "oh yeah, about last night, I'm sorry Tomoyo, I didn't mean to break apart like that. Especially now when it's the first time we've seen each other in about a decade."
"it's ok Sakura, I told you I don't mind it, that's what friends are for right?" Tomoyo replied whilst looking at her watch. "Sh*t!" it was already 10 past 12 and she was supposed to meet Rika at Cafea at 12 noon.
"Come Sakura, I guess you can go with me, we really don't have time now I'll explain later ok?" and with that, she grabbed her things, pulled Sakura and locked her hotel room.
Both girls were running and trying not to bump in too many people. By the time they got to Cafea, both were out of breath and obviously tired from all the running they'd had to do.
"a-are you [pant] alright Sakura?" Tomoyo asked, panting.
"I-I'm fine, d-don't worry." Sakura answered trying to catch her breath.
When both were able to catch their breath and hold on to it, Sakura asked Tomoyo, "where are we?"
"oh, yeah, we're in Cafea, I was supposed to meet Rika and Mr. Terada here."
"Really? Then I'm glad you took me with you, it'll be nice to see them for a change." Sakura smiled. "but why are you meeting with them anyway?"
"You'll see." Replied a smiling Tomoyo. And she pulled Sakura inside Cafea, where she searched for the people she was supposed to meet.
At last she found them sitting in the corner, on the table where it was pretty secluded from the crowd. It looked like both were talking about something seriously. Tomoyo smiled at the thought. She knew what they were talking about. And Sakura was bound to fin out too.
"Hey Rika! Mr. Terada! I'm sorry for being late. I kind of woke up late because I visited our old friend here, Sakura." Tomoyo greeted and watched Rika's smile turn into complete surprise. She wasn't the only one who, clearly wasn't expecting to see Sakura.
Rika jumped up and hugged Sakura. Sakura too looked very happy to see both Rika and Mr. Terada. And Tomoyo was sure she would even be happier if she knew what they were here to talk about.
All of them sat down, ordered coffee and shakes, and was soon engulfed with their own stories from what they've been doing since they've graduated. All three seemed to be interested in Sakura's stories, but Tomoyo could tell that Sakura was having a hard time talking about it and she immediately changed the subject.
"ok, so , Rika, Mr. Terada, I think it's time to discuss what we came here for." Tomoyo suggested.
Sakura shot Tomoyo a grateful look.
"oh, uh, yeah, I've brought some magazines to help me with my choice. Do you want to take a look at it?" asked Rika, taking out several magazines.
"Rika and I have agreed to do the attires, the muggle way. We like it better." Said Mr. Terada.
"Ok, no problem, I just need to know what kind of gown you'd want or if you have your own design, I could make it too." Tomoyo said.
"uh, guys, I'm sorry, but is there an occasion I don't know about? What are those gowns for?" asked a very uncertain Sakura.
"ohh, you didn't tell her yet Tomoyo?" asked Rika turning to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo shook her head. "Nope. I wanted you to tell her."
"ahh! Well, Sakura," Mr. Terada said turning to Sakura, "Rika and I are going to get married."
"yes, and you can come to our wedding too."
While all of this is happening however, Tomoyo was looking out the window pane staring at something.
That owl… I've seen that somewhere…
She was looking at a black feathered owl.
Tomoyo had a feeling and before it could register in her mind what that feeling is, Rika gently tapped her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry Tomoyo, but it's getting rather late and we have to go. Thanks for your time. I'll call you up again to set up our meeting."
Both Rika and Mr. Terada got up and left. Leaving Tomoyo a bit confused. She was still thinking about the owl when she and Sakura went back to their hotel.
