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 21.- Training
Almost one week after the attack they were again talking in the Sorcerers' Room.
"We must really be prepared." Shaoran said seriously. "This won't be the last time we hear of those Death Eaters."
"Shaoran-kun is right, they'll attack again." Eriol agreed. "And we must be prepared."
"We must train." Sakura said.
Shaoran nodded.
"Sakura and I have been training since years ago." Shaoran said. "But what about you?"
"Maybe we should test ourselves." Eriol suggested.
"I have the perfect place." Sakura said, she took out the Create Card and it turned to a book. She flipped the pages until she found one. "This is it. Create!"
At the moment the five teenagers were in some strange grounds that looked much like a coliseum. They were all in training outfits(even Hermione).
"This is incredible." Hermione said wide eyed.
"Okay." Eriol said. "I think we should start."
"I don't know much about this." Hermione said. "I have never fought."
"Don't worry Hermy-chan." Sakura said calmly. "We'll teach you."
"Then you go first Eriol." Shaoran said.
"As you wish, dear descendant." Eriol said playfully.
Shaoran made a movement with his hands, and in the place appeared a man dressed in black with sables in his hands. He leapt at Eriol.
Eriol immediately summoned his staff and turned it into a sword, it looked really much like the one Sakura used, but it was with details in blue and silver, instead of pink and gold. Eriol fought, and it looked like he was really skilled(not as much as Sakura and Shaoran, but pretty well).
"Very good." Shaoran said, the figure disappeared.
"My turn." Tomoyo said giving a step forward.
The boys looked to one another confused, Tomoyo? Fighting?
"Ready Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo nodded.
"Now!" Sakura yelled, as she made appeared another figure, just that this one was unarmed.
Tomoyo was standing with her feet crossed, her hands up and eyes closed.
The figure jumped at her, ready to attack.
In the last moment Tomoyo opened her eyes and leant backwards, making the opponent miss her attack. The figure tried to attack again. Tomoyo flipped backwards, kicking her in the chin. The figure got in fighting position, as well as Tomoyo. Now this got serious. Both opponents leapt at each other and started a fierce combat. The figure's movements were hard, trying to hurt Tomoyo, but Tomoyo in the other side moved swiftly and easily, like if she was floating in mid-air.
"I didn't know Tomoyo knew how to fight." Eriol said open jawed.
"And you haven't seen all." Sakura said, she whistled.
Tomoyo nodded, she took out her crystal pendant and turned it into her staff. Then it turned into a blue wand with a silver ribbon. She took hold of it tightly and started moving it as if it was a whip.
Now Eriol was really, truly, astonished.
Sakura clapped and the figure disappeared.
Tomoyo made her whip disappear too, and she smiled to her friends.
"How was I?" she asked with a bright smile.
"Great Tomoyo-chan." Shaoran said surprised.
"How come you never told me you knew how to fight?" Eriol asked.
"You never asked." She answered innocently.
"And you, Sakura and Shaoran?" Hermione asked.
"Wanna make a try?" Sakura asked her boyfriend.
"You won't beat me this time." He assured her.
"We're about to see that." She said grinning.
In less than a second their swords appeared and they got in a really amazing duel.
"They're mixing the martial arts and sword-management." Hermione said astonished. "I had never seen something like this. Not even in the movies."
She turned to her side and found Tomoyo filming her friends with starry eyes.
'She'll never change' Hermione thought smiling.
"I think I'll make this a little more interesting." Eriol said with a grin.
He summoned his staff again and called a spell, instantly in the tip of the staff appeared a thunder that was shot right to Shaoran's back, who hadn't see it because he was too busy with Sakura's sword.
"Oh no..." Hermione murmured.
But in the last moment Shaoran jumped out of the way of the thunder, it was now going to Sakura. But she too dodged it easily.
Eriol smiled and continue throwing energyballs, fireballs, and many other things. Shaoran and Sakura continued with their duel, dodging or jumping out of the way of Eriol's attacks.
"Eriol, stop it." Tomoyo said, taking her eye off the camera for a second.
"Onegai(Please) hime(Princess), I'm having fun." He said smiling.
Tomoyo was about to add something when they heard.
"Watery!"
Eriol got soaked with the first attack.
"I think you missed, Sakura dear." Eriol said sweetly.
"Not really." She said calmly.
Behind her Shaoran was getting prepared for a big attack.
"Enough, is enough." She said. "Here is one sip of your own chocolate. Jump!"
She jumped out of the way just in time.
"God of Thunder, go!" Shaoran summoned.
Eriol didn't even had time to react, the electricity, added to his soaked body made him a true electric-body.
"Tomoyo-chan, help me." He pleaded.
"You have that well deserved." Tomoyo said crossing her arms.
Hermione just laughed as well as Sakura and Shaoran.
"We better go get changed before breakfast ends." Hermione suggested.
Tomoyo nodded.
Sakura moved her hands and the coliseum disappeared, they were back in the Sorcerers' Room and back in their clothes.
"I think we should train at least once a week." Shaoran said thoughtfully.
"Well, with DADA class we already train a lot." Hermione said.
"Yes, but I mean in Martial Arts and Sword management." He said. "We need to teach you at least the basics. So you'll be able to take care of yourselves in case of another attack."
"How about Saturday afternoon?" Tomoyo suggested.
The rest of them nodded.
And that's what they did, they trained once a week, every Saturday, in that coliseum of the Create Card. Hermione was learning about Martial Arts, and to fight with a cane; she was really a fast learner.
A month passed and they were back in classes, Hermione had bought in Hogsmeade magical medicine to cure their scratches and wounds after trainings. It was really a lot of work, between the classes, the homework, the Club of DADA Harry had, and the training, but somehow she managed everything.
"In two weeks is Valentine's Day." Ginny commented one day in the Great Hall.
"Really?" Hermione asked, taking her eyes from the book she had been reading.
"Yes." Ginny said surprised, Hermione surely had been acting quite strangely in the last months.
'I really got to keep an eye on the Calendar.' Hermione thought. ?I don't even know in which day I live.' She sighed.
"You heard the news?" Colin asked to his girlfriend.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Prof. Hiiragizawa made a special enchantment in a mail-box in the lobby. Anyone that wants to tell a girl his/her true feelings in secret can go there and leave a letter, the mail box will magically send it to the correct person.
"Sounds great." Hermione murmured, not paying much attention.
Harry just nodded. He had just gotten an idea.
Really short chapter, I know, but hey! Again I'm updating sooner than usual! This is really strange in me... Well, if you want a little advance of next chapter I tell you it will be really romantic. Ah, Le amour...
And now answering questions:
You vote for which couples you want to see.To Kassandra L.K: the Death Eaters are the MortÃfagos.
To Nosie: I can't answer that yet, you'll have to wait. It's one of the big mysteries along the story.
See ya in the next chapter.
Arigato.
