Chapter 6.- A trip on a magic carpet.
It had been a week since the new term at Hogwarts had started.
Tomoyo hadn't told Sakura that Hermione and co. were investigating, principally because not even she remembered; it was becoming usual that every afternoon Tomoyo was free she would find Eriol, and together they would go for a walk.
Sakura and Shaoran passed all their free time together; which the rest of the school find pretty strange. Most of them had never seen a Gryffindor and a Slytherin together without fighting.
Hermione, Harry and Ron were still looking trough every book in the library, but they couldn't find anything.
Finally one day, Ginny Weasley went to talk with Harry.
"Harry," Ginny called.
"Yeah Ginny?" Harry asked taking his eyes from the Transfiguration book he was reading.
"A few friends and I were wondering something if we're gonna have any more D.A. meetings?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know," Harry answered, "After what happened last year."
"Yeah, but that was the Umbridge's fault, not yours." Ginny said, "And I know a lot of us are dying for another D.A. meeting."
"Ok," Harry said, "I'll talk it out with Hermione and Ron."
"Fine," Ginny said turning to leave, "we'll be waiting."
That afternoon, Harry talked with Hermione and Ron about what Ginny told him.
"And what are you planning to do?" Ron asked him.
"I don't know." Harry said, "I think I could call a meeting for tomorrow night, after dinner, see how many students come and then we'll see."
"Will you invite Tomoyo and Sakura?" Hermione asked.
"Sure, why not?" Harry said.
"Where you talking about me?" Tomoyo asked as she entered Gryffindor's common room.
"Well, yeah," Harry explained Tomoyo about the D.A. the meetings, and everything.
"I'm really sorry Harry," Tomoyo said, "But I have things to do tomorrow night, and besides I'm not really good with Incantations. Arigato."
"And what do you think Sakura will say?" Hermione asked Tomoyo.
"Well," Tomoyo doubted if answering, "It'll all depend in if you let Li-kun join too." Tomoyo waited to see her friends' reactions. They were as she had expected.
"Li-kun?" Ron asked, "A Slytherin?"
"But he's not like any Slytherin," Harry noted, "He gets really well with Sakura."
"But he's really closed and cold to everyone else." Ron said.
"I wouldn't have any problem if Li joined the D.A. too." Harry said.
"Yeah," Hermione said, "The problem with be with the rest of the D.A. members."
And she was right.
Sakura had accepted to join the D.A. under the conditions Tomoyo had mention earlier. When Sakura told Shaoran he wasn't very happy with the idea but he accepted, even though he suspected what would happen when the rest of the D.A. members saw him enter.
That night Tomoyo had gone for her usual walk at the fourth floor, and found Eriol; and together they went to a walk on a lonely corridor. They chatted, and laughed, they really enjoyed each other's company.
And meanwhile, that same night, at the seventh floor, the D.A. meeting was about to begin.
"Please attention!" Hermione called.
Everyone in the room shut up.
"Good night," Harry said, "I'm really glad, and surprised too, to see many of you here even though what happened last year. And I would like to introduce you, the two new members of the D.A."
Everyone turned to look at Sakura and Shaoran. Most people were happy of Sakura, but they wanted Shaoran out.
"Is this a joke?" Zacharias asked, "we can't have a Slytherin with us."
"That's right," most of the students joined him.
"We may have no problem with the girl," a Hufflepuff said, "But we'll never accept a Slytherin."
"Why don't you give him a chance?!" Sakura shouted above all voices.
"A chance?" Parvati asked.
"Are you crazy?" Padma, her twin, continued.
Sakura was feeling terrible, and Shaoran was getting mad. This could end the wrong way, he thought.
"I threat him" Zacharias called. "To a duel."
"I'm with you," Dean said.
"And me too," other three boys called.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't know what to do to stop what was happening.
"I take the threat." Shaoran said seriously. "With the five of you at once."
"What?.The five of them?.He's crazy." some of them started saying.
"I'll stay with you," Sakura said taking out her wand.
Most girls gasped, two people against five, it was impossible.
"But Sakura-chan," Shaoran said. "You can't do this, it could be dangerous."
"Don't worry for me Shaoran-kun," Sakura told him, "I'll be just fine."
Some of the girls got confused, first they had seen the cold Slytherin accept the threat, and he wanted the Gryffindor girl out of it, because she could get hurt?
Everyone got prepared. At the count of three the five opponents called all the courses and Enchatments they could remember.
"Écu," Sakura had called just instants before the first course hit.
"What's that?" Harry asked when he saw the shield that was resisting all the courses.
"It's a very advanced incantation," Hermione answered, "I didn't knew Sakura could do it, it's really difficult, you need a lot of concentration and energy."
When the opponents finally stopped throwing curses, Sakura released the shield.
"Expeliarmus!" She and Shaoran called at the same time.
Four of their opponents were sent away, their wands out of reach.
"Wow!" Everyone in the room exclaimed and gasped, really surprised.
But just then, the fifth opponent threw a magic thunder ball to Sakura, who was backwards.
Shaoran felt the attack, he knew he couldn't use his special magic, and an enchantment wouldn't reach on time, but he had to, somehow, protect Sakura, he had too. So he did the only thing he could think, he threw himself between the attack and his girlfriend.
Sakura felt the attack coming half 'a second later after Shaoran did. She would never be able to repeat the Écu enchantment, and she couldn't just use the "Shield" Card because she wasn't supposed to use her special magic. Just then she saw Shaoran throwing himself between the attack and her.
"Shaoran-kun!" Sakura screamed when Shaoran was hit and fell to the ground. She saw he had a bad wound in his back. "Expeliarmus!" Sakura exclaimed raising her wand to the one who had thrown the attack.
"I'm alright Sakura-chan," Shaoran said standing up. "But I don't want to stay here any longer."
Shaoran headed for the door, Sakura followed.
"Li, Sakura wait." Harry called.
But Shaoran just ignored him and went out of the room.
"Sakura," Hermione said. "Wait, please. Oh we're so sorry, really."
"Don't be," Sakura told her, and Harry and Ron, " It's not your fault. In fact, it's my fault."
"Yours?" Harry asked, "But why?"
"Because I told Shaoran-kun to come," Sakura explained, "It was my idea, even though I knew they would never accept him for being a Slytherin."
"But you can stay," Ron said, "You don't have to leave."
"I don't want to stay," Sakura said. "I only want to be with him."
And with that Sakura smiled and left, running, to catch up with Shaoran.
Harry, Hermione and Ron just sighed as they got back inside the room.
Sakura insisted on checking Shaoran's wound. So they got inside a dark classroom.
"Light," Sakura called, the lamps turned on.
"You know, you're not supposed to use your special magic here." Shaoran said as he took off the black robe.
"Yeah," Sakura said with her innocent look, "But you're the only one watching, and you won't tell the headmaster, will you?"
"You think I would?" Shaoran asked as he pulled up his T-shirt so Sakura could see his back.
Sakura looked at his wound carefully.
"Well, What do you think Miss Kinomoto?" Shaoran asked with false serious tone.
"Pretty bad Mr. Li," Sakura said, following his game, "But you'll live."
Shaoran smiled and kissed Sakura, a long passionate kiss.
"I've got an idea." Sakura said suddenly. "Oh key that holds the power of my star, show your true power to Sakura, who has accepted this mission with you. Release!" her Star key turned into a white staff with a yellow star and white wings on top. Sakura took out of her robe one of the Sakura Cards, her magic circle formed at her feet "Create." A book and a pencil magically appeared in her hands. She wrote a few things down.
"What are you using the Create Card for?" Shaoran asked full of curiosity. As he pulled down her T-shirt, and put his robe on again.
"How would you like a trip on a magic carpet?" Sakura asked him, heading for the window, she moved her hand and a sweet breeze opened it. Out the window was some kind of carpet, floating.
Shaoran looked at Sakura awed. He never imagined something like that.
"Light," Sakura called and the lamps turned off. She looked at Shaoran. "Are you coming?" She went out the window and stepped on the carpet.
"Sure," Shaoran said and got on the carpet too. "Sakura-chan, is this safe?"
"Sure," Sakura told him, "It has a special spell, no one would see it, nor the ones that get on it, which means us."
"You're becoming really smart you know?" Shaoran teased with a smile.
"I had a good teacher." Sakura said with a smile.
So they left, the 'magic carpet' flew up and then just went over a few cities, valleys, etc. Sakura and Shaoran enjoyed each other as they hadn't since he left for training three years ago. They were so happy they didn't felt the time pass.
Finally a few hours later they went back to Hogwarts. Sakura directed the carpet to Slytherin tower; then used a soft breeze to open a window.
"Here you are," Sakura told Shaoran.
"You know mi lady," Shaoran said gently, "Gentlemen are supposed to be ones to leave pretty ladies safe at home."
"Yeah," Sakura smiling, "But in this case, the lady is driving the magic carpet."
"Oya sumina sai (Good night) Sakura-chan." Shaoran told her and gave her a sweet kiss in her lips.
"Oya sumina sai Shaoran-kun," Sakura answered as she left over the magic carpet toward Gryffindor tower.
When Sakura reached Gryffindor tower she make sure no one was awake in the common room, then she made the carpet disappear, turned her staff into the Star key again, and went to bed. She looked at her clock, it was two in the morning.
"I think tomorrow I won't train," both Sakura and Shaoran thought.
*~*~*~*~*
Pretty long chapter I think. But I had a dream a few nights ago and it inspired me to write this (I'm in a romantic crisis as you can see). Anyway I hope you liked it. And I tell you Eriol and Tomoyo are going to have their romance also.
Please leave reviews! Arigato.
