"Harry Potter" and "Card Captor Sakura" Crossover.
Disclaiming: I don't own Card Captor Sakura, nor Harry Potter, *snif*; If I owned any of them now I would be on a vacation around the world, and not sitting here in my house writing this(luckier for you).
Chapter 15.- Past Revealed.
"Okay, next one will be Kinomoto Sakura." Eriol called.
It was Monday morning and they were in DADA class. Finally they were fighting against the dementors, some had done well and, some hadn't.
Sakura stepped out of the magic shield Eriol had created to keep the students safe of the dementors effects while one of them tried.
Sakura looked sure of herself as the dementor went out of the closet and looked at her. She heard faint voices in her head, and she knew exactly what they where.
"Espectro Patronum." Sakura murmured holding her wand firmly.
A silver figure was created, it seemed like some kind of angel, a female, with long hair and a long dress, everything was silver, except one thing very few noticed: emerald-green eyes.
The dementor seemed to run away from Sakura and hid again in the closet.
Sakura smiled and the silver figure, representing her mother, disappeared.
"Perfectly done Miss Kinomoto." Eriol said proudly. "15 points for Gryffindor." He looked at the list. "Potter Harry."
Harry stepped to where Sakura was standing a minute before, and just as the dementor was getting near him he drew his wand and chant:
"Espectro Patronum!" A silver stag appeared and defeated the dementor.
Hermione was next and made a patronus that looked like a fairy.
"Well done Miss Granger." Eriol congratulated.
"You did a great job." Harry told her.
"It was all thanks to your train and help Harry." Hermione said smiling.
"Daidouji Tomoyo." Eriol called. She was the last to go.
Tomoyo stepped to the front and got prepared. The dementor got out and, Tomoyo had her wand firmly in her hand, but something seemed to be stopping her from finishing the spell.
"Onegai...Don't leave me...Otou-san." Tomoyo murmured, as a river of tears ran down her face.
Sakura was really worried, it seemed she had remembered something about her father that really hurt her.
"Espec...Espect...Espectro P-Patronum." Tomoyo murmured with all her strength.
From her wand emerged a silver male-figure, wearing some kind of robes, and with a strange hat on his head, but what was more attractive was: blue eyes.
Anyway, the figure didn't seemed to be enough. Eriol steeped forward and did the spell. From the tip of his wand burst a silver female figure, with long hair and a short dress, amethyst eyes.
Sakura smiled happily, it was so sweet, Tomoyo and Eriol representing each other in their Patronus. The silver figures held hands and the dementor had to hide again. After that Tomoyo fell, semi-unconscious.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed as she ran to her best friend.
"Class dismissed." Eriol said.
Almost all the students left.
"Sakura-chan." Eriolo murmured as he took Tomoyo in his arms. "Find Shaoran and take him to the Sorcerers' Room."
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"I'm not sure." Eriol replied. "Come on, I'll take Tomoyo-chan."
Sakura nodded and dashed outside; as she used the telepathy bond to find Shaoran.
Eriol got out with Tomoyo in his arms, and he faked to noticed as someone followed him.
A few minutes later Eriol had gotten to the highest part of the farthest tower in Hogwarts Castle. No one went there because it was empty, well, empty except for a big panting at the end of the hallway. It was a painting of Clow with the two guardians.
"Release." Eriol murmured standing before the painting.
"As you wish other me." Clow said smiling.
Him and the rest in the picture stepped aside, leaving a space in the middle. Eriol bowed to his past life and step right through the painting. Someone followed him. In the other side was the Sorcerers' Room, it was where Sakura had stayed for three days after Malfoy had hurt her. All around in the walls where hanging small portraits, and in each was the image of one of the Cards.
Eriol went to the bed at the end of the room and lay Tomoyo down. She still seemed to be crying.
"Tomoyo-chan, my dear, What's wrong with you?" Eriol asked.
Near the door, someone gasped.
"Spy! Spy!" The Cards started chanting.
"Reveal yourself whoever you are." Eriol ordered with a deep voice.
From beneath a desk stepped...
"Miss Granger!" Eriol exclaimed puzzled. "What are you doing here."
"Well," Hermione said. "It's just that I was worried for Tomoyo, and you didn't took her to the nursery, so I followed you. I'm really sorry Prof. Hiiragizawa."
"And..." Eriol said, he knew there was something more.
"Well, I may be wrong, but I think I heard you calling Tomoyo in a very affectionate way." Hermione said slowly.
Eriol sighed, but before he had time to say anything Tomoyo wailed.
"Tomoyo!" Hermione shouted, ran to her. She took Tomoyo's hand in hers.
"No!" Eriol said. "Don't touch her..."
His warning came a second too late.
The moment Hermione touched Tomoyo she felt her mind full of memories, thoughts and feelings that made her almost crazy; then she started feeling weaker by each second that passed by, until she fainted.
"Tomoyo's power is out of control." Eriol murmured as he lay Hermione on a sofa. "That's why you lost your energies. What I wonder is what else could have happened to you."
Just then Shaoran appeared to the room.
"How's Tomoyo-chan?" Shaoran asked Eriol.
"I'm not sure." Eriol said. "She's still crying, and we can't touch her, she's out of control."
Just then Shaoran noticed Hermione in the room.
"What's Granger-san doing here?" Shaoran asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"She followed me up here." Eriol answered.
"What?!" Shaoran asked shocked. "Are you the perfect-powerful-and- everything-else Clow-san?"
"No I'm not." Eriol spat. "I'm just his reincarnation." He said sadly. "I was just too worried for Tomoyo-chan I didn't noticed."
"I suppose you erased her memory." Shaoran said.
"No." Eriol answered. "She's that way because she touched Tomoyo-chan. I don't know exactly what might have happened, so I'll do nothing."
Shaoran sat on a couch, arm's crossed.
"She suspects there's something between Tomoyo-chan and me." Eriol murmured looking at Hermione.
"Well, it was to expect." Shaoran said calmly. "After all, she's really perceptive, it's a true miracle she hasn't found out the truth about us by now."
"That remembers me: Where's Sakura-chan?" Eriol asked looking at Shaoran.
"She said she had felt someone near the castle, she needed to go make sure it was who she thought." Shaoran said uncomfortable, it seemed he didn't like not knowing the complete thing.
~*~
In that moment a woman was entering Hogwarts' castle. Some wizards and witches stared at her, because her clothes weren't robes, but an elegant dark-blue skirt and sky-blue blouse, along with a gray jacket. She seemed to know exactly were she was going.
"Excuse me." One of the prefects approach her. "May I help you?"
"I wish to see Albus Dumbledure." She said in a high voice.
"How may I help you?" the old headmaster asked as he approached the woman.
"I need to..." the woman started, she stopped when she noticed someone staring deeply at her.
"Sonomi!" the werewolf exclaimed shocked. "What are you doing here?"
"Glad to see you too, Remus old-friend." She replied with a smile.
"How may I help you Sonomi, dear?" Dumbledore repeated his question.
"I know this may sound strange, but I have the feeling something is wrong with my daughter." Sonomi explained.
"Your daughter?" Remus asked puzzled.
Just then they heard someone gasped. "Ah! Kami-sama."
"Miss Kinomoto are you alright?" Remus asked the girl.
Sakura nodded, but kept focused on the woman.
"Aunt Sonomi?!" Sakura finally screamed.
"Hello my dear Sakura-chan." Sonomi smiled.
"How?...Why?...When?..." Sakura asked, still shocked.
"I know you're confused, but I really need you to take me with Tomoyo- chan." Sonomi said.
"Didn't you say you were here to see your daughter?" Remus asked.
"Exactly." Sonomi said as she walked past him, to Sakura. "Tomoyo-chan is my daughter."
Remus's jaw dropped-open. He couldn't believe it. Tomoyo Daidouji, that sweet girl was daughter of Sonomi. Something here was getting weirder by each second.
~*~
Sakura entered the Sorcerer's Room, and just as the guys were about to greet her, they noticed someone else entering.
"Misses Daidouji!" Eriol exclaimed, shocked, he didn't noticed he was still holding Tomoyo's hand(with a glove on).
"What the..." Shaoran started.
"Calm down Mr. Li." Dumbledore said, also entering.
Sonomi ran to her daughter's side, and was about to hug her when Sakura stopped her.
"Don't." Sakura said.
"Why?" Sonomi asked.
"Such a short question, requires a too long answer." Eriol murmured in a low voice.
"How did you know we where here?" Sakura asked.
Sonomi stood silent, before she finally took out something from her pocket, it was a wand.
"I studied here too." Sonomi answered.
The teens stood there shocked.
"Can you explain me why Tomoyo's still crying?" Eriol asked Sonomi.
Sonomi leaned near her daughter and heard her.
"Iie...Otou-san!" Tomoyo wailed.
"She's been repeating that for about half an hour already." Eriol informed them.
"Daniel..." Sonomi murmured, she got teary eyes.
"What about him?" Sakura asked. "We saw him a month ago and Tomoyo was fine, she even danced with him."
"She's remembering." Sonomi finally murmured. She turned to Dumbledore. "You never told me this could happen."
"You can't keep the truth from her longer Sonomi." Dumbledore said calmly. "It wasn't meant to be that way. Miss Tomoyo was meant to remember her past one day, and that day, is today."
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"You see Sakura-chan," Sonomi explained. "Nadeshiko-chan and I studied here in Hogwarts when we were young. Even though she never finished, because just before we began sixth grade she met your father and decided to stay in Japan. I came back because I already had a boyfriend. His name was... Daniel...Daniel Black..."
"Wasn't Sirius Black Harry's Godfather?" Eriol asked.
Sonomi nodded. "Daniel was Sirius's younger brother, just by one year." She continued. "We were in love, and married just a couple of months after we graduated. Daniel was an Auror, and I had to attend University, by command of my father, so I could take hold of the Toy Company when time came. I remember Tomoyo was just one-year-old when Lily and James where killed, I got really tense. And one day, Daniel and I were arguing..."
***Flashback***
"Why didn't you tell me?!" Sonomi's voice sounded really mad. "Lily was one of my best friends you know."
"I didn't told you because you would get this way." Daniel replied.
"And how do you want me to react?!" Sonomi spat. "First Laura gets killed in that strange accident, then Lily and James are murdered, and your brother gets to Azkaban!"
"Voldemort is missing." Daniel said trying to keep calm. "He disappeared after he killed James and Lily. But the death eaters are still out. You must get away."
"What?!" Sonomi looked shocked and hurt.
"You must get away." Daniel repeated. "Go to Japan, to your parents."
"Don't you love me anymore?" Sonomi asked in a low voice.
"How can you doubt of my love?" Daniel asked. "I love you more than my own life. But you're in danger, and our daughter. Do it for her, do it for Tomoyo."
Sonomi still didn't understand.
Just then someone knocked, no, bumped, to the door.
"They're here!" Daniel shouted. "You must run now!"
Sonomi ran to the baby's room, and carry Tomoyo.
"Here, take this." Daniel gave her a little sphere, it was a traslator.
"Come with us." Sonomi said.
"I can't." Daniel answered. "I must stop them."
"They'll kill you." Sonomi replied.
"If that saves yours and Tomoyo's life it'll be worth it."
"But I don't want you to leave us..." Sonomi's voice was breaking with sobs.
"You must leave, my love. Do it for Tomoyo. She won't be able to live without her mother."
"And we won't be able to live without you Daniel."
Just then the door broke down.
"They're here!" Daniel shouted. "Leave now! This'll take you to Albus Dumbledore, he'll help you."
"Why?" Sonomi asked.
"Tomoyo is the connection." Daniel said in a low voice.
Voices could be heard in the first floor. The Death Eaters were approaching.
Sonomi slowly took the Traslator from her husband's hands.
"Always remember:" Daniel started, he pulled her wife to one last kiss, then he kissed her daughter's forehead. "I love you."
And that was the last thing Sonomi heard from his husband.
***End of Flashback***
"We arrived to Dumbledore's office." Sonomi continued, she was trying to hold her tears. "He said that he would cover our escapade. Tomoyo and I would leave to Japan that very same night. We erased Tomoyo-chan's memory, so she wouldn't remember what had happened that night, and we decided to change our last name, so the Death Eaters wouldn't be able to find us."
"Wasn't Tomoyo-chan too young to remember anyway?" Shaoran asked.
"The same as Harry." Dumbledore interfered. "And he found out how his parents died. In fact he found out the same way as Tomoyo did."
By then Sakura was also crying.
"When Tomoyo turned eleven I saw the owl announcing she had been accepted in Hogwarts." Sonomi said. "But I didn't let Tomoyo-chan read it. I send a response, telling them I wouldn't let my daughter come. I didn't want to lose her as I lost Daniel. I don't want to suffer another lose, I don't think I would be able to live through it."
"Did you know I used magic?" Sakura asked.
"I talked to Touya-kun." Sonomi said. "He seemed surprised that I knew about your mother's magic. But then he told me he had refused to go to Hogwarts because he preferred to take care of you. But he said you never received a letter, until last summer."
"That was because of me." Eriol interfered. "I had planned that Sakura changed the Clow Cards to Sakura Cards that year. If she came here that early she wouldn't be able to increase her magic, she wouldn't be the great sorceress she is now."
"But how come they were called to Hogwarts now?" Shaoran asked.
"You ask about them and not about yourself?" Sonomi asked.
"It's tradition, all members of the Li Clan must study one year in a magic school." Shaoran said calmly.
"Well, cute-little-descendant." Eriol said with a funny smile. "Lets just say I needed Sakura-chan and Tomoyo-chan to study here in Hogwarts. After all, a good sorcerer must be able to use any kind of magic, Eastern or Western. And when I knew you were coming too..."
Shaoran and Sakura turned, looked at each other, and blushed madly.
"I received a letter from Dumbledore." Sonomi continued. "He said that I wouldn't be able to hide the truth longer. I didn't believe him, until I arrived home and Tomoyo-chan told me she had received an invitation to a boarding school here in England, I didn't have to think much to know the truth. But I had hoped she wouldn't find out about the past. I think I was keeping my hopes too high."
"What did Tomoyo-chan's father meant with the connection?" Sakura asked.
"She mixes two bloods, two different kinds of magic: Wizard-magic, and Sorcery. That kind of mix is really rare." Sonomi explained. "Now-a-days there must be just one or two people like her."
The group sat in silent, it had been too much information in just a couple of minutes, they needed time to register it. And there were still a couple of unfinished-business: First, Hermione Granger, what had happened to her when she touched Tomoyo? And second, did Sonomi and Dumbledore saw Eriol holding hands with Tomoyo? And if so, what would they think about it?
*~*~*~*~*
Things are getting harder and more complicated by each second, and we haven't even reached the first battle! What will happen with Hermione? And what will Sonomi and Dumbledore say about Eriol's relationship with Tomoyo?
What do you think about this chapter? I know it was kind of long. To be true I hadn't planned this chapter when I began with the story, it was just an idea I had at the moment, I know it may have been a bit confusing and strange but I swear I tried it to make it as comprehensible as possible. If you have any doubt contact me to my e-mail, or say it in the review. And even though this was just a sudden idea, it'll be really important in the future.
And well, now I promise you there's only one more chapter to go before the first battle takes place. You know, that one Sakura dreamt about. But for the next chapter I'll try to answer the questions written above(as simple as I can, no more complications for the moment), and I also can assure you in the next chapter you'll find the first Quidditch match with Shaoran as Slytherin's seeker. Interesting, ne?
Ok, the notes are already too long so I'll only ask you to review, flames accepted(but with wise criticism please). See ya in the next chapter.
Arigato.

I send a response, telling them I wouldn't let my daughter come. I didn't want to lose her as I lost Daniel. I don't want to suffer another lose, I don't think I would be able to live through it."
"Did you know I used magic?" Sakura asked.
"I talked to Touya-kun." Sonomi said. "He seemed surprised that I knew about your mother's magic. But then he told me he had refused to go to Hogwarts because he preferred to take care of you. But he said you never received a letter, until last summer."
"That was because of me." Eriol interfered. "I had planned that Sakura changed the Clow Cards to Sakura Cards that year. If she came here that early she wouldn't be able to increase her magic, she wouldn't be the great sorceress she is now."
"But how come they were called to Hogwarts now?" Shaoran asked.
"You ask about them and not about yourself?" Sonomi asked.
"It's tradition, all members of the Li Clan must study one year in a magic school." Shaoran said calmly.
"Well, cute-little-descendant." Eriol said with a funny smile. "Lets just say I needed Sakura-chan and Tomoyo-chan to study here in Hogwarts. After all, a good sorcerer must be able to use any kind of magic, Eastern or Western. And when I knew you were coming too..."
Shaoran and Sakura turned, looked at each other, and blushed madly.
"I received a letter from Dumbledore." Sonomi continued. "He said that I wouldn't be able to hide the truth longer. I didn't believe him, until I arrived home and Tomoyo-chan told me she had received an invitation to a boarding school here in England, I didn't have to think much to know the truth. But I had hoped she wouldn't find out about the past. I think I was keeping my hopes too high."
"What did Tomoyo-chan's father meant with the connection?" Sakura asked.
"She mixes two bloods, two different kinds of magic: Wizard-magic, and Sorcery. That kind of mix is really rare." Sonomi explained. "Now-a-days there must be just one or two people like her."
The group sat in silent, it had been too much information in just a couple of minutes, they needed time to register it. And there were still a couple of unfinished-business: First, Hermione Granger, what had happened to her when she touched Tomoyo? And second, did Sonomi and Dumbledore saw Eriol holding hands with Tomoyo? And if so, what would they think about it?
*~*~*~*~*
Things are getting harder and more complicated by each second, and we haven't even reached the first battle! What will happen with Hermione? And what will Sonomi and Dumbledore say about Eriol's relationship with Tomoyo?
What do you think about this chapter? I know it was kind of long. To be true I hadn't planned this chapter when I began with the story, it was just an idea I had at the moment, I know it may have been a bit confusing and strange but I swear I tried it to make it as comprehensible as possible. If you have any doubt contact me to my e-mail, or say it in the review. And even though this was just a sudden idea, it'll be really important in the future.
And well, now I promise you there's only one more chapter to go before the first battle takes place. You know, that one Sakura dreamt about. But for the next chapter I'll try to answer the questions written above(as simple as I can, no more complications for the moment), and I also can assure you in the next chapter you'll find the first Quidditch match with Shaoran as Slytherin's seeker. Interesting, ne?
Ok, the notes are already too long so I'll only ask you to review, flames accepted(but with wise criticism please). See ya in the next chapter.
Arigato.
