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).
Two weeks may last an eternity for some persons, but for this certain group of teenagers, it was too short.
Shaoran's mother and sisters had left that morning and they were now enjoying their last day of vacation.
"This have been the best vacations I've had in my whole life." Harry commented while they were packing.
"Then we must repeat this trip someday." Tomoyo said happily.
"Yeah, one day when no one wants to kill us would be nice." Hermione added sarcastically.
"Come on, it wasn't that bad." Sakura said positively.
"Two attacks to Tokio in less than two weeks, I don't like this a single bit." Tomoyo commented while they were drinking tea.
"I don't like it either." Eriol said. "First they were dark spirits, then that sort of ninjas."
"And they were innocent people. Their souls were possessed." Sakura added worriedly. "If Naoko-chan hadn't been there to tell us how to purify souls we could have ended harming innocents."
"That's true." Shaoran said. "This men really know how to do things the dirty way. They are such a cowards they don't dare fight us personally."
"I think it would be better that way." Hermione said. "If not we would be in danger of being discovered."
"We'll be discovered sooner or later." Eriol started.
"The later the better." Tomoyo continued.
"But if there's no other way." Sakura murmured. "I don't want to risk more innocents."
"And all because of this." Naoko murmured holding the magic urn.
"And we don't even know what is inside." Harry added as-a-matter-of-fact.
"Whatever it is it must be very important." Shaoran said. "For all those persons are doing to get it."
"You think Voldemort does know what is inside?" Hermione asked truly worried.
Most of her friends stayed in silence, wondering the same thing as she.
"It's impossible." Naoko said finally.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Because this urn has been sealed for centuries, or so they told me." Naoko explained. "Just the one who created it knows what is inside. And the Chosen One will know once the urn is opened."
Shaoran was about to ask something else when everyone stayed in silence.
"You feel it?" Shaoran asked in a low voice.
The rest just nodded. Even Harry, who wasn't at all sure, but had a very good idea of what they were referring.
The Death Eater's Mark! Hermione mentally shrieked.
We already saw it. Eriol said sobbing his ears although it was useless.
No need to shout Hermy-chan. Tomoyo added.
Sorry. Hermione murmured ashamed.
Don't worry. Sakura said.
"We've got to arrange some business with those guys." Shaoran said.
"And remember, don't use your Sorcerers abilities unless you have no other choice." Sakura added.
The rest nodded.
In the backyard a group of about one and a half dozen of men in black robes had just apparated.
"Okay, the faster we finish with them the better." Eriol said.
The rest nodded and separated.
"That girl must be here." A man said. "And maybe even that Potter kid, remember kill everyone but the girl. Master wants her alive and with that urn she carries."
"You don't dare give one more step." Sonomi said suddenly getting out the door.
Oka-san! Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Who says so?" one of the Death Eaters asked.
"I do. Desmaius!" Sonomi yelled taking her wand out of her dress so fast the Death Eater couldn't stop her.
"I'll kill you for that!" another man said.
"No you won't." Hermione murmured in a low voice, just Harry heard her, while she concentrated.
"Crucio!" the man attacked.
Tomoyo was about to run out of the bushes where she was hiding when she saw a magic shield protecting her mother.
Arigato(Thank you) Hermy-chan. Tomoyo said.
You're welcome. Hermione replied.
Just then another man noticed the movement in the tree where Harry and Hermione where hiding and went to get them.
"Impedimenta!" Sonomi attacked, stopping the man from discovering the teens.
"Two down, sixteen to go." Eriol said sarcastically.
"We better do something, quick." Tomoyo said. "My godfather is there, so we must be careful not to hurt him."
"Your wish is my command hime." Eriol said.
Another man tried to hurt Sonomi, but the shield was still there.
"What the hell is going on?" the leader of the Death Eaters asked.
"Why don't you find out by yourself instead of sending your cronies Lucius?" Sonomi threatened. "I knew you never were brave, but I never imagined you were such a coward."
"Don't you dare insult me Amamiya." Lucius said. "Or should I say Black."
This caused Sonomi to get mad.
"Petrificus totalus!" she yelled.
Along with Eriol and Tomoyo.
In the confusion about nine men fell down and they never noticed they were multiple spells.
"What the hell is he talking about?" Harry asked Hermione.
The way Malfoy senior had called Mrs. Sonomi: Black left him puzzled.
"I'll explain later, right know we must get rid of those Deatheaters." Hermione said.
"I remember perfectly well when I killed that good-for-nothing of Daniel Black." Lucius said wickedly.
"Stop insulting Daniel!" Sonomi cried out. "You have no right to do so!"
"He had a slow painful death, and you weren't by his side when that happened where you?" Lucius asked, he was enjoying Sonomi's affliction very much. "No, you preferred to run away, and just know we found you. But don't worry, soon you'll die the way you should have that night."
"Let me go, let me get him. I'm so gonna kill him for this." Tomoyo was saying as she tried to pull free of Eriol's grasp and get Lucius.
"No dear, it's not time." Eriol said hugging her tightly. "He doesn't know yet the change of surname you and your mother have, if he sees you then you'll be an easy target back in Hogwarts. We must stick to the original plan."
Tomoyo nodded as she held a sob, she didn't want to be discovered.
But Tomoyo wasn't the only one enraged by what was going on. Severus too was furious. But if he did something he would be discovered as a spy, and then Sonomi would suffer again the misery of loosing the one she loved.
"Sleep." Sakura and Shaoran chanted at once.
About six of the Death Eaters fell to the floor unconscious.
"What's this?" Lucius asked. "Who's doing this?"
Now it was only him, Severus, and another Death Eater.
"Anyway, I'll kill you now." Lucius said raising his wand. "Ava..."
Hermione panicked, she knew her shields weren't strong enough to deflect a curse like that, she was already tired of stopping the Crucio curse. Harry was about to come out of the hiding place, when someone else did.
"Iie!" a voice yelled.
Some strange vines shot from the ground under the feet of the third Death Eater and enveloped him. Then thorns appeared and pierced through his skin, until he passed out from the pain.
"Stop it." Naoko said, her right hand pointing to the hurt Death Eater, her left still carrying the magic urn. "It is me who you want, not her."
Sakura was about to shout her friend's name. Was she crazy or what?
"Sh..." Shaoran calmed her. "She knows what she's doing."
"What did you do?" Lucius asked.
"I'm a sprite, didn't your infamous Master tell you that when he sent you?" Naoko asked, she tried to appear brave and self-confident, but inside she was shaking. She had only revealed herself to save Mrs. Sonomi.
"No matter who or what you are, I'll take you with my master." Lucius said.
"I would like to see you try." Naoko said.
She tried to summon the magic vines again, but Lucius put them on fire.
This seem to hurt Naoko.
"See? You can't defeat me." Lucius said with a wicked grin.
"You won't hurt her." Harry murmured for himself. "Expelliarmus!"
Suddenly Lucius was thrown backwards by an unknown force.
This got the Death Eater very nervous, so he decided to run away.
Once he was gone the rest got out of their hiding places.
"Oka-san(mom), Daijoubu desu ka(Are you alright)?" Tomoyo asked kneeling next to her mother.
Sonomi nodded, still with tears in her cheeks.
"Naoko-chan, are you hurt?" Sakura asked next to the sprite.
"No, don't worry Sakura-chan." Naoko said standing up.
"I didn't know you had those powers." Shaoran said.
"As a sprite I can summon the powers of the nature." Naoko explained.
"Are you all okay?" a voice asked.
Harry immediately took his wand out and targeted the man: Severus.
"Don't." Tomoyo said. "It's okay, he's on our side."
Harry lowered his wand slowly, not at all convinced.
"Would someone care that we get back inside, it's getting chilly out here." Hermione said.
Once inside Tomoyo ordered a maiden to bring them some tea.
"Shouldn't you go back to wherever you were before the attack?" Tomoyo asked Severus worriedly.
"They won't notice my absence for a while, and if they do I can say I tried to save the fallen Death Eaters." Severus said.
"That's true, where are they?" Hermione asked.
"Eriol-kun and I sent them to Azkaban." Sakura answered. "Just Malfoy got away."
"And what about him?" Harry asked looking at Snape.
"You can calm now Harry-san, Severus is no enemy." Sonomi said recovering. "He's a friend in fact, and Tomoyo's godfather."
"Her what?!" Harry almost fell of the chair with this.
"Yes, as my mom is your godmother." Tomoyo added.
"My...god...mother...what? How?" Harry was babbling, and even he knew it.
"I was a very good friend of your parents Harry." Sonomi said carefully. "And, your godfather happens to be my brother-in-law."
Harry couldn't ask what anymore, it was too much for him.
So they explained him. About how Tomoyo's and Sakura's mothers studied in Hogwarts, how Nadeshiko never finished school, and then Sonomi fell in love with Daniel, she married him, had Tomoyo, and shortly after Lily and James were killed Daniel was murdered trying to give his wife and daughter a chance to run away.
"Did Sirius know you were alive?" Harry asked.
"No." Sonomi answered. "When I came her with Tomoyo I changed our surname from Black to Daidouji. I took care of the family business, the toy company, and never used magic for fifteen years. Until now. I was in England and discovered Tomoyo was again called to Hogwarts, and this time I couldn't stop her. So I ended going to Hogwarts too."
Harry was really impressed with everything they were telling him. It was more than he could manage.
And the main thing of everything was that, in some sort of way, he had family alive! Being Sonomi his godmother and Tomoyo her daughter, it was almost as good as having an aunt and cousin.
That night they had a sleepover. They chatted of unimportant things, trying to keep their minds away from the attack that had happened earlier.
The next morning they were ready to depart. Only Sonomi was staying at Japan. Tomoyo knew she wanted to have some time alone with Severus, then we would be able to apparate at Hogwarts.
The teens were chatting while the bodyguards got their luggage to the limo that would take them to the airport.
"They attacked us a total of three times just in the two weeks we were here." Hermione said. "That night in the Tsukimine Shrine, days later in the Tokio Tower, and last night here, in Tomoyo's house! I think it can be consider bad."
"But no one was gravely injured." Sakura pointed. "We could sort things out easily."
"Yeah, I never imagined seeing so much power together." Harry said.
"We must be alert at all times." Shaoran said. "They might attack us again in any moment."
"What about Naoko?" Hermione asked.
"I'll be fine Hermione-chan, don't worry." Naoko said smiling.
"I gave her one of the most recent inventions of my mother's company." Tomoyo said. "It's like a cell-phone, but with a special anti-magic incantation that makes it possible for it to be used even in magical places such as Diagon Alley or Hogwarts."
"If anything happens here Naoko-chan just has to call us and we'll be here immediately." Sakura said.
"Or she can come to Hogwarts." Eriol said.
"That's right." Tomoyo said. "Oka-san renewed the flu network in our house, so we can use it. If need be Naoko can use it to escape."
"My house too will get that service, but after my brother returns from his honeymoon." Sakura said.
"So we're ready for anything that might happen." Harry said.
"We're ready, and we'll always be." Tomoyo said self-confident.
Her friends nodded with the same expressions of decision and courage in their faces.
Wow...Another chapter ready, and so soon! I'm getting excited with this story. Just to give you an idea, I was writing this chapter and I got a little carried away, I ended writing what might be the Prologue for the sequel! Which, in fact will be named: "Two Roses", that is if I don't get a better idea by the time I finish this fic.
I'm expecting more reviews please, they really make me very happy. And inspire me to write this chapter faster and upload sooner.
What do you think about the story so far? Too many battles in such a short time? To much mysteries? Do you think I'm crazy(I think that about myself)?
Please review and don't forget to read the next chapter.
Arigato and Sayonara.
