The Hope Spell.
By: Princess Lalaith
"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 19.- Dangers and lies
Hermione felt like if she had been pinned to the ground.
"Hurry Hermione-san." Sonomi brought her back to reality. "We must do our part to help them."
"You're right Mrs. Sonomi." Hermione nodded.
Hermione took out from her pocket a set of wards, with the other hand she raised her wand.
"Protergo, doors!" Hermione chanted moving her wand.
The wards in her hands flew to all the doors in the room.
"Protergo, windows!" Sonomi called.
The wards she possessed immediately sealed the windows.
The students were shouting, trying to get to the nearest exit.
"Listen to me students." Dumbledore called.
Everyone continued in panic.
"Students!"
Everyone shut up and turned around.
"Don't panic, go back to your tables and stay calm, we'll be safe here." Dumbledore said.
The students weren't too sure; but some of them went to sit to the tables, and everyone followed their example.
"Mrs. Granger." Dumbledore said.
"Prof. Dumbledore!" Hermione exclaimed. "You know..."
"Yes, I know what's going on out there." Dumbledore said. "And I'm really worried about them. I don't doubt they're really powerful, but they're still kids."
"I know what we can do." Sonomi said. "Come."
Hermione and Dumbledore followed her to the little room, behind the teacher's table.
"Hermione-san, do you have the mirror with you?" Sonomi asked.
"Yes! The mirror!" Hermione called. She reached into her pocket and took out the mirror she had received as a Christmas present.
"Show me where are Sakura, Shaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol." Hermione indicated.
The mirror shone for a second and then it showed what was going on in Hogwarts grounds, just outside the castle.
Sakura and Tomoyo took off the long skirts, under they had short-pants of the same color. Then Sakura used the power of Through to cross the wall to the outside
Shaoran and Eriol took off their jackets and instead put on open robes of their colors. Then Eriol chanted a spell and they teleported outside the castle.
"What's going on?" Tomoyo asked.
"This is dark magic, and is strong." Eriol added.
"It's like in my dream." Sakura murmured.
Just then they saw shadows raising before them. One of them, that was wearing a black cloak that covered him completely was radiating a huge dark energy.
"It's him!" Shaoran exclaimed. "The energy is coming from him."
"We feel it too." Eriol said.
Tomoyo took hold of her pendant.
"Iie, wait." Sakura stopped her. "We must not use our sorcery."
"Why not?" Shaoran asked, he too was about to make his sword appear.
"It's just a feeling." Sakura didn't know how to explain herself. "They must not know we are sorcerers, not yet."
"Then what are we gonna do?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sakura-chan, Shaoran-kun and Watashi(I) can try to canalize some of our powers through the wand, we'll get tired, but at least we won't reveal ourselves to them." Eriol suggested. "And you Tomoyo can copy our powers."
Tomoyo nodded.
"The shadows rise, darkness falls. This world will now be mine!" the voice shouted.
Sakura shivered. That was the last thing she had heard in her dream. Now everything was up to them.
"Crucio!" one of the cloaked wizards, death eaters, was the first to attack.
"Shield!" Sakura called raising her wand, she canalized the energy of the Card. It was difficult but it worked.
Sakura-chan, lend me the Mist Card. Tomoyo mind-asked.
Sakura made a movement and Mist went flying out of her pocket and to Tomoyo's hands.
"Please, lend me your power." Tomoyo asked taking the card.
One second later the Card was back at Sakura's pocket.
"Mist!" Tomoyo summoned, the power she had absorbed from the card was canalized through the wand.
A thick mist surrounded the. With their training, Sakura, Shaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo could feel each other. But the death eaters couldn't.
The boys took this chance to attack:
"Expelliarmus!" Eriol used a common wizard spell.
"Thunder!" Shaoran summoned.
The thunder hit the death eaters who had lost their wands by Eriol's spell. They passed out.
"Perfect." Eriol and Shaoran murmured at the same time.
"Windy!" Sakura attacked.
But her power was broke by another spell.
"Crucio!" another death eater counterattacked.
"Eriol-kun!" Tomoyo yelled.
The green light was aimed directly to Eriol's heart. He didn't have time to make a spell.
"Tomoyo!" Eriol screamed.
He saw just in a second as Tomoyo jumped in front of the light and received it directly.

(I think I should stop it here...I'm evil).

There was an evil laughter from whom they thought was the leader of the Death Eaters, but his laughter turned into gasps when they saw Tomoyo standing perfectly fine, unharmed, she didn't had not even a single scratch in her body. And in her hands was a bolt of green light.
"I think this belongs to you." She said throwing it back.
The death eater that received it fell dead instantly.
Daijoubu desu ka(Are you alright) Hime(princess)? Eriol mind-asked.
Hai koibito(lover) Tomoyo asked.
But she was breathing heavily. It had really taken a lot of her energy to stop such an attack like that one. A killing-curse.
The Death Eaters seemed to notice that the opponents were getting tired and decided to attack various at the same time with different spells, curses and hexes.
"Shield!" Sakura called with all her might.
"Protergo!" Eriol and Shaoran called to the protecting enchantment to help Sakura.
The shield barely protected them. Just a few seconds after the power dissipated the shield vanished.
Shaoran was about to ignore what Sakura had said about not revealing themselves when she stopped him.
"Don't." She said standing up with little difficulty.
"I must do it Ying Fa." Shaoran insisted.
"Iie." Sakura shook her head. "Kimi wa Daijoubu dakara(Everything will be alright.)"
Shaoran nodded and put down his wards.
Sakura took her wand firmly.
"Sleep!!" She summoned with all her strength.
In the tip of her wand appeared a little semi-transparent crescent moon, like the one in the wand that Sleep holds.
Sakura moved her wand swiftly, like if she was making some kind of drawing in the air. From the tip of her wand emerged a blue light that quickly surrounded the death eaters and made them fell to the floor, fast asleep.
"Who are you?!" the leader of the death eaters yelled in rage.
For some strange reason he hadn't fallen asleep with Sakura's power.
"What have you done?!" the man, undoubtedly Voldemort, yelled.
He walked fast enough to were Sakura was kneeling, exhausted. Shaoran was trying to help her up.
Voldemort raised his wand, ready to use one of the Forbidden curses against the exhausted teenagers.
"Expelliarmus!" Eriol acted before him.
But Eriol too was tired, the spell was enough to send the wand away, but not to send Voldemort away.
Voldemort was still furious. But this time he ran to Eriol.
"Iie!!" Tomoyo screamed as she got in the middle.
"Stupid mudblood!" Voldemort spat.
He took her by the neck and started strangling her.
Tomoyom put a hand on Voldemorts face, but it didn't seemed to have effect on him.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Eriol, and Shaoran yelled.
Sakura had just fainted.
"Tomoyo!" Hermione yelled nervously.
And just then the image in the mirror vanished.
"What happened?!" Sonomi almost yelled, she was on her nerves too.
"This mirror works with their magic," Hermione reasoned. "Sakura fainted, Shaoran and Eriol are really weak, and Tomoyo..."
"No..." Sonomi started crying. "Not my Tomoyo-chan."
'There must be something I can do' Hermione said to herself.
"I'll tell the teachers and prefects to lead the students to their dormitories." Dumbledore said just then. "Can you please take the seals off."
Sonomi flicked her wand and all the seals were off windows and doors.
And just then, Hermione took a decision.
"Miss Granger." Dumbledore called her.
"I'll go get them." Hermione said just then.
"What?" Dumbledore asked pulling his glasses up a bit.
"Nani(What)?" Sonomi asked at the same time.
"What I said. "Her mione said putting the mirror back in her pocket. "I'll go out, find Sakura, Shaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol, and get them to the Sorcerers' Room. It's our best chance."
Sonomi nodded.
Hermione stepped out the little room, She walked quickly. She was about to leave the Great Hall by a lateral door when someone hold her by her wrist. She turned fast.
"Harry?!" she seemed surprised. "I thought you were gone."
"I was waiting for you." Harry answered. He seemed truly concerned. "Where were you?"
"I'm really sorry." Hermione apologized. "Mrs. Sonomi called me and I couldn't refuse to have a woman-to-woman chat with her." She lied.
"Ah..." Harry wasn't quite believing her.
"Excuse me Harry, I need to go get Sakura and Tomoyo." Hermione said.
Again she was about to get out, and yet again she was stopped.
"What?" she asked.
"Where are the girls?" he asked, surprised he hadn't noticed their absence.
"Tomoyo wasn't feeling too well, so the rest of the guys took her to the nursery. I'll go get them." Hermione lied, trying to sound as sincere as possible.
Harry nodded and let her go.
Hermione ran out of the Hall.
"Hermione..." Harry murmured in a low voice voice. "Why do you lie to me?"
"I'm so sorry Harry, really." Hermione said, her eyes stung with tears, as she ran to the castle doors. "I really wished I didn't had to lie to you. But I have too. I'm truly sorry." She let go one lonely tear, without stopping her race. "But I promise, one day I'll tell you the truth myself."
How do you like this for a first battle. Not too descriptive. And I swear I was thinking about stoping it at the middle, I didn't knew how to continue it.
Ok now, in the next chapter you'll see the consequences of this first battle. Will Harry find out the truth? And the main thing: What happened to Tomoyo? (I'm evil, am I not?)
And please...Onegai...por favor...click that bottom down there and leave me a review, they're very valuable for me, really.
See ya in the next chapter.
Arigato.
