~~~~~ Story ~~~~~
They bought Tomoyo's books in a shop called Flourish and Blotts where the shelves were stacked to the ceiling with books as large as paving stones bound in leather; books the size of postage stamps in covers of silk; books full of peculiar symbols and a few books with nothing in them at all.
Sakura almost had to drag Syaoran away from Curses and Counter-Curses (Bewitch your Friends and Befuddle your Enemies with the Latest Revenges: Hair Loss, Jelly-Legs, Tongue-Tying and much, much more) by Professor Vindictus Viridian.
Sakura bought a book about crystals and gems. She wanted to find out about the crystal star on her forehead.
Then they visited the apothecary's, which was fascinating enough to make up for its horrible smell, a mixture of bad eggs and rotted cabbages.
Barrels of slimy stuff stood on the floor, jars of herbs, dried roots and bright powders lined the walls, bundles of feathers, strings of fangs and snarled claws hung from the ceiling.
Twenty minutes later, they left Eeylops Owl Emporium, which had been dark and full of rustling and flickering, jewel-bright eyes.
Tomoyo bought a snowy-white owl with blue eyes and named it lavender.
Sakura had walked to the back and spotted a cage covered with cloth. Inside was a baby tiger. It had a blue crystal star on its forehead, pink fur and white strips.
She asked the shopkeeper why was it not on sale.
"Whenever someone tries to touch it, it would use it claws to scratch us" she explained. "So that's why no one wants to buy it."
Sakura went over to touch it and surprisingly, it did not scratch her. The tiger just licked the hand of Sakura's.
"How much is it?"
"Just one galleon will do miss."
"Here!" Sakura said tossing the coin.
"Thank you." The shopkeeper said with delight as she had sold the tiger away as nobody wants to but it.
Sakura left the shop with the baby tiger in her arms.
The tiger would scratch Tomoyo, Syaoran or Eriol if they touched Sakura or itself.
So every one was to make sure that they don't go too near to Sakura.
"Just the wand left now Tomoyo." Said Eriol
The last shop was narrow and shabby. Peeling gold letters over the door read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC.
A single wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window.
A tinkling bell rang somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside.
It was a tiny place, empty except for three spindly chairs which Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol sat to wait.
Then out of nowhere, a soft voice spoke. "Good Afternoon,"
Tomoyo jumped.
An old man was standing before them, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop.
"Hello," said Tomoyo awkwardly.
"Ah yes," said the man. "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Miss Daidouji."
And he also turned to Sakura.
"Hello there, Sakura. How have you been?"
"Fine. Uncle Oiilvander." Sakura said smiling.
And he turned back to Tomoyo again.
"Now- Miss Daidouji. He said turning to Tomoyo, Let me see." He pulled a long tape measure with sliver markings out of his pocket.
"Which is your wand arm?"
"Huh?" Said Tomoyo.
"He means you which handed!" Sakura explained.
"Hold out your arm. That's it." He measured Tomoyo from shoulder to finger then wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit and round she head.
As he measured, he said, " Every Ollivander wand has a core of powerful magical substance, Miss Daidouji. We use unicorn hairs, phoenix tail feathers and the heart stings of dragons.
No two Ollivander wands are the same, just as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are quite the same.
And of course, you will never get such good results with another wizard's wand.
Tomoyo suddenly realized that the tape measure, which was measuring between her nostrils, was doing this on its own.
Mr. Ollivander was fitting around the shelves, taking down boxes.
"That will do," he said, and the tape measure crumpled into a heap on the floor.
"Right then, Miss Daidouji. Try this one. Beechwood and dragon heartstring. Nine inches. Nice and flexible. Just take it and give it a wave."
Tomoyo took the wand and (feeling foolish) waved it around a bit, but Mr. Ollivander snatched it out of she hand almost at once.
"Maple and phoenix feathers. Seven inches. Quite whippy. Try- "
Tomoyo tried- but she had hardly raised the wand when it, too, was snatched back by Mr. Ollivander.
"No, no - here ebony and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches, springy. Go on, go on, try it out."
Tomoyo tried. And tried. She had no idea what Mr. Ollivander was waiting for.
The pile of tried wands was mounting higher and higher on the spindly chair, but the more wands Mr. Ollivander pulled from the shelves, the happier he seemed to become.
"Tricky customer, eh? Not to worry, we'll find the perfect match here somewhere- I wonder, now- yes, why not- unusual combination- violets and phoenix feather, eleven inches, nice and supple."
Tomoyo took the wand. She felt sudden warmth in her fingers.
She raised the wand above her head, bought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of sliver and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls.
Sakura and Eriol clapped.
"Alright here is your wand take good care of it will you?"
"Sure!" Tomoyo said happily.
Tomoyo paid for the wand and went out of the door with the others.
The four's last month was spent at Eriol's mansion
Sakura, kero, Yue and cherry stayed in her room for the last day. (Cherry's the tiger)
She told them something about tomorrow.
She said " When we get on the train, Yue, you and kero stick to me while I hold cherry in my arms."
"Alright?" Sakura said.
Kero and Yue both said " ok!"
The day came when the four went to King's Cross-Station.
~~~~~ King's Cross Station ~~~~~
"What platform is it." A gentle voice that belonged to no other than Kinomoto Sakura said
"Nine and three-quarters." A boy with amber eyes said.
"Oh!" The card mistress said.
"So where is platform nine and three-quarters anyway?" Kero asked
"Hmm. No idea" their mistress replied back.
"Why not we ask the family of red hair and the two others over there." The recarnation of Clow Reed said.
"Excuse us but how do we get on platform nine and three-quarters?"
"Oh it is simple really, all you have to do is walk straight at the barrier between platform nine and ten. Don't stop and don't be scared you'll crash into it that's very important. Best do it with a bit of a run if you nervous." The one known as the mother said.
The four paired up in twos and first came Sakura and Syaoran then came Eriol and Tomoyo.
They arrived shortly on platform nine and three-quarters.
A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to the platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock.
The gang pressed on through the crowd until they found an empty compartment near the end of the train.
A few minutes later, a knock was heard on the door. Opened was a girl with bushy brown hair, a bot with red hair and a jet black hair boy with glasses.
"Do you mind all the compartments are full." The girl said.
"No, Not at all." Sakura replied back.
After everyone was comfy, the girls introduced themselves.
"I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and the last one is Harry Potter."
"Well, I'm Kinomoto Sakura, this is Daidouji Tomoyo, Li Syaoran and Hiiragizawa Eriol."
"We've never seen you before are you new here?" Hermione said.
"Yes!"
"What's that on your- " Harry began talking but was interrupted by Sakura.
"Don't ask about mine if I don't ask about yours." Sakura snapped back
"Sorry." Harry said in a very sorry manner.
"It's ok. Everyone is always like this." Sakura said returning to her cherry mood.
"Is that a baby tiger?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, but don't touch it, it may scratch you or worse bite you." Tomoyo said.
"Why?" Hermione said becoming more and more curious by the minute.
"Look"
Tomoyo showed a few scratches that Cherry made.
"Here," Syaoran said showing Hermione the most scratches Cherry has made to him.
Apparently, Syaoran almost stood too close to Sakura.
"You don't want to have a lot of scratches and bites do you? Just don't go too near Sakura or Cherry and you'll be fine." Eriol said
"Come on we better change into our school robes."
"No thanks, Syaoran, Eriol and I won't have to change."
"Why not?"
"Oh you'll see sooner or later." Sakura said in a very mysterious voice
Instead of black, Tomoyo's robes were dark purple.
Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol too changed into something else.
Sakura wore a blue coat and pink tank top with a white skirt down to her heels. It had cherry blossom designs on it. And she wore yellow sandals.
Syaoran was wearing a green shirt and black pants.
Eriol was wearing a blue blouse and blue pants
That's it for chapter 3, stay tuned for chapter 4! Coming right up!
