Chapter 30.- Dementors in the Quidditch Final.It was the day after Sonomi had found Severus badly injured on the Back of Hogwarts Grounds; he was steady, but still weak. And the Potions Class was about to begin.
Tomoyo was the last to enter Potions Class, and when she did she went straight to sit besides Hermione, and behind of Harry and Ron.
"I don't understand." Ron murmured. "Who's gonna give us the class if they have said Prof. Snape is sick?"
"What I wonder is what made him sick." Neville said from his place across the aisle. "They've assured me this is the first time in the whole History of Hogwarts."
"Just wait and see." Harry said with a grin.
"Eriol-kun's company is definitely affecting Harry-kun." Tomoyo said raising a brow. "He is beginning to act as enigmatic as him."
"As long as he doesn't act like that to me, everything will be fine." Hermione said calmly.
"Attention everyone." A voice called. "Please be quiet and get your seats."
Everyone obeyed as they eyed the newcomer carefully. A tall woman, wearing a dark-red robe that combined with her short hair; the class stayed quite.
"Good morning Class." She said. "As you all know Prof. Severus Snape is sick, and due to that I'll be your substitute teacher for the next few days, until he gets better."
"Who the hell are you?" Draco asked scornfully.
The woman turned to him and opened her eyes in surprise when she saw him.
"Malfoy…" was all she could mumble.
Draco stared at her annoyed.
"You're…You're Lucius Malfoy's son." The woman said somehow shocked.
"Yeah, so?" Draco asked. "You have a problem with that?" He spat.
"Don't talk to me in that tone Mr. Malfoy." She said recovering her serene expression. "I'm your superior, you owe me respect."
Draco rolled his eyes but said nothing.
"Well, as I was saying." She said to the rest of the class. "I'll be your substitute Potions Teacher, in absence of Prof. Snape. My name is Sonomi Amamiya."
(A.N.: She is addressing herself with her single surname so they won't link her with Tomoyo).
The rest of the class went by fairly well, the Gryffindor's liked to have a professor that didn't punish them every five minutes, and the Slytherin's didn't take long to notice this substitute teacher wouldn't pass their bad jokes.
"One last announcement." Sonomi said when the bell rang signaling the end of the period. "Those of you who belong to the Quidditch teams. The final will be held this Saturday: Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin. Be ready."
"Nani?!" Sakura cried out in shock.
"This Saturday?" Shaoran asked.
"But that's in two days!" Harry yelled.
Hermione turned to both Harry and Shaoran.
"Aren't you supposed to know the dates of your games?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"I must have forgotten." Harry said with a sweat-drop down his head.
"With all we have in our minds did anata(you) expect me to remember something like a Quidditch Match?" Shaoran asked pissed.
"For Lord's sake, you're the captains!" Tomoyo said distressed.
"Hey, It's not my fault that baka of Malfoy was punished." Shaoran said even more annoyed.
"We must train, this match is too important." Harry said trying to calm down.
"What about the other trainings?" Hermione asked as-a-mater-of-fact.
"I think we can postpone them until after the match." Harry said. "It's only two days."
"Fine with me." Tomoyo nodded.
"Me too." Eriol said appearing out of nowhere.
"Hai." Sakura complied.
"Now we better hurry. We must talk to the rest of the team." Harry said, he took Sakura's hand and said to Shaoran: "I hope you'll forgive me, I'll need to steal your girlfriend for a while."
Shaoran nodded, understanding.
"Ja ne(See you later) Xiao Lang." Sakura called just before turning on a corner.
Hermione immediately followed them.
"Ja ne Ying Fa." Shaoran replied. He sighed and added. "I think I should do the same with Slytherin team."
He walked away.
"I must head to my next class." Tomoyo said eyeing Eriol.
"Yeah, Watashi(I) too shall go prepare my next class. Sayonara my hime(princess)." He risked a brief kiss.
"Sayonara my Uji(prince)." Tomoyo replied.
And just as a professor went out a door they went different ways.
"Is it just me, or there's something strange between Miss Daidouji and Prof. Eriol?" Prof. Fitwick asked himself as he saw the two walking away.
And on Saturday…
"Welcome Hogwarts to the Quidditch Final!" Tomoyo called on the microphone.
Everyone cheered.
"And here they come." Tomoyo announced. "Slytherin vs. Gryffindor."
More cheers and boos from the students to their favorite team.
"The snitch is released. Madame Hooch throws the Quaffle. And the game begins!"
Harry and Shaoran stayed high, searching for the snitch and at the same time watching the rest of their teams play.
"Ginny has the Quaffle," Tomoyo narrated. "She is about to reach the loops and…"
"Ginny!!" many yells were heard.
One of the Slytherin beaters had just hit a Bludger right to Ginny's broom, sending her down.
Float, help her. Sakura mentally instructed.
There was a flash of magic just the Sorcerers and half-sorcerers could feel when the Float Card used its magic to take Ginny swiftly to the ground.
"Ginny!" Ron yelled distressed.
"Ron, stay were you are." Harry instructed.
"Are you crazy, my sister…" Ron began.
"She is fine." Sakura assured him dashing past him.
A couple of seconds later a healer confirmed it.
"What are we gonna do now?" Andrew asked. "We're still missing one chaser."
"You may continue playing that way but still it might be a little more difficult with one player less." Madame Hooch told them.
"What, you're going to give up?" one of the Beaters of Slytherin mocked them.
"Losers." The other said.
"We can't give up." Jack said.
"Sakura and I can try it." Alice suggested, although she was not at all sure.
"We'll do it." Harry said. "Sakura!"
"Hai" she said turning to see him.
"Do what you know." Harry mouthed to her.
Sakura nodded.
"And the game continues!" Tomoyo called.
Slytherin had the quaffle, almost on the loops when suddenly there was a scarlet flash, the quaffle was gone.
"And Gryffindor gets the quaffle back, what a way of stealing the game." Tomoyo said trying not to laugh, at least not too much.
Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs where laughing their heads off.
"You'll see." One of the Slytherin chasers threatened. "I'll get you!" he dashed right to Sakura.
Sakura Abunai(Beware)! Shaoran mentally yelled to his girlfriend.
Watashi Daijoubu(I am fine). Sakura replied.
And just when the chasers was about to hit her broom with his she did a hard turn to one side and flew in the opposite direction, throwing the quaffle to Alice, who was waiting in a position from where she could easily pass the ball through the loops.
"And that's ten points to Gryffindor!" Tomoyo cheered.
The match went on, Slytherins tried to take more Gryffindors off their brooms but Sakura managed to stay up. In one of those a Slytherin beater ended on the ground after she had to spin to dodge a bludger.
By the next hour most of the students were rally amazed with the speed and ability Sakura had with the broom, and no matter how dirty the Slytherins played they were no match for her.
Shaoran was just smiling from his place up in the air.
"I never imagined I would see a Slytherin smiling, less of all when seeing his team loosing." Harry commented to Shaoran.
"I really don't care if Slytherin wins or not, and I couldn't be more happy of seeing my dear Ying Fa giving them a well deserved lesson." Shaoran said. "In fact I would be doing so myself, but I must stay here."
Harry nodded.
Suddenly something happened, freezing air surrounded them.
"Something's wrong." Shaoran murmured feeling dark auras approaching.
Harry too could feel them, but even without doing so he knew perfectly well this sensation.
"Dementors!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What?!" most of the players stopped in mid-air to listen to him.
"Nani?!" Sakura cried out when she too felt the aura.
Tomoyo, Eriol, Hermione, Dumbledore and Sonomi were the next to feel it.
"Prof. Dumbledore, take the students to the castle." Sonomi asked the headmaster.
"But Sonomi…" Dumbledore began.
He knew the coldness they were feelings marked there were many dementors approaching.
"We can manage this." Eriol assured him. "Just make sure the rest of the students are safe."
In the Quidditch Pitch it was all a chaos, the players trying to get away.
"Get Away!" Harry instructed. "Ron, take Ginny and get to the castle."
"Harry, beware!" Hermione yelled suddenly.
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry chanted turning to the sky.
The brilliant silver stag appeared floating in the sky, charging to any dementor that dare approach them.
To the stag added a fairy(Hermione's), an angel(Sakura's), a dragon(Shaoran's), and a couple(Eriol's and Tomoyo's).
When Ron got to the ground, to where Ginny was lying he saw Hermione getting on the broom. "Where are you going?" Ron asked. "I thought you said you hate to fly."
"I do." Hermione replied as she took off. "But I'm gonna help my boyfriend."
In another situation Ron too would have helped his best friend, but in this case he preferred to first take his sister to a safe place.
Harry got really surprised when he saw Hermione sitting on the broom, with her wand out.
"What?" she asked seeing her shocked face.
"I though you hated to fly." Harry said finally.
"I do, but I hate even more not to be with you." She answered.
Their mutual feelings seemed to be powering up even more their Patronuses.
"They're just too much." Tomoyo said, she was still standing in the Teachers Seats, with Eriol and her mother.
"I have an idea." Eriol said suddenly. "Sakura-chan, Shaoran-kun, Harry-kun and Hermione-chan, circle the Dementors, don't let them spread. Sonomi-san shield the castle. Tomoyo-hime and me will take care of them."
The rest nodded and did as they were told.
Tomoyo clasped her hands together, her purple aura enveloping her as she began singing.
"Happy feelings, happy voices,
come sing, come laugh,
come to share your memories,
your present and past.
Help me get rid of this rats."
Tomoyo's gift as an Enchantress was activated, Eriol powered it up with his magic, and in a short while the dementors were crying out. The happiness and joy Tomoyo had reunited overwhelmed them.
"Fine." Eriol said to the rest. "Do it. Now!"
"Expecto Patronum!!" The rest yelled at the moment.
Harry's stag, Hermione' fairy, Sakura's angel and Shaoran's dragon surrounded the dementors in a brilliant silver light the dark beings couldn't manage.
"Power of the sun, magic of the light
ancient forces near and far,
I call to you, I summon your might,
to grant me at the hour the wish I ask.
Take this shadows,
Pack them tight
Don't let them out."
This spell made the dementors be trapped in a magic prison that became a magic-sphere in Eriol's hands.
"Fine, the work is done." Eriol said satisfied. "Congratulations to minna(everyone), this was the definitive proof that we're ready for whatever comes to us."
Everyone nodded as they returned to the ground.
"Sweet, would you be so gentle as to give us some chocolate, onegai(please)?." Sakura said taking the Card out.
Always a pleasure to serve you Mistress. the Card replied.
A second later seven chocolate bars appeared. One for each of them, the last Tomoyo gave it to her mother when they got to the entrance of the castle.
"We need to see Prof. Dumbledore, now." Eriol said seriously.
The rest nodded.
About five minutes later they were all sitting down in chairs in the Headmaster's office.
"I see you could handle things by yourselves." Dumbledore said happily.
"Yes." Sonomi nodded.
"Things are definitely getting out of control." Tomoyo said suddenly.
"Why do you believe so miss?" Dumbledore asked.
"For what I know, dementors are supposed to guard the prison of Azkaban, to protect the wizards and witches from those who broke the law." Tomoyo explained. "And they are the ones breaking the law, the ones damaging us."
"Those dementors, a dozen of them, and they had been powered up by Asian Sources." Eriol explained. "Which means they were sent specifically for us to fight them, no one else could have."
"How are you so sure?" Dumbledore asked, intrigued.
"This creatures were being powered up with sorcery means." Shaoran intervene. "Which means just a sorcerer can match them, which would be us and Harry and Hermione as half-sorcerers."
"This isn't the first time." Tomoyo added. "When we went to Japan they attacked three times, they want to find out who we are no matter what the cost."
"So you mean they already know you are here." Dumbledore deduced.
"Tom may have turned to evil but he still is as clever as when he attended this school." Eriol said speaking like Clow. "It would be no surprise if he had known since years ago that this year we would be coming."
"What is lucky is that he still doesn't know our identities." Shaoran said relieved.
"He'll be knowing them soon." Sakura said suddenly.
"What?" they all asked.
"Sakura-chan, explain yourself." Tomoyo said.
"I've been having dreams." Sakura answered. "He is getting nervous, impatient, his minions haven't been able to defeat us, not even to get our names. But he knows Sonomi-san is here, and he suspects that she'll know more. He'll try to 'kill two birds with one pebble' and attack Hogwarts before the end of the School Year."
"Before the End?!" Hermione cried out, thinking in all the students that would be there.
Harry's and Dumbledore's thoughts were along the same lines.
"But this will be really dangerous!" Harry finally exclaimed.
"And you are aloud to pull out whenever you wish to." Eriol said. "But we can't, as Sorcerers it is our responsibility."
"Besides, they're looking for us, we can't deceive them again." Tomoyo added sarcastically.
"If we leave then he will hunt us down and I don't want to even imagine how many he would kill in the process." Sakura said.
"We knew this would happen sooner or later." Shaoran said with a hand on Sakura's shoulder. "The sooner the better."
"I won't leave." Harry said defiantly.
"Me neither." Hermione said seriously.
"He still owes me my parent's and Sirius death." Harry said coldly. "I'll make him pay."
"Maybe I don't have anything to claim revenge for." Hermione said looking at him. "But I won't leave you alone."
"Still." Tomoyo said. "It would be better if Harry-kun and Hermy-chan stayed between the classmates, at least while we see how difficult it might be, make sure you won't be in danger."
Harry and Hermione nodded.
"And you." Sakura said to Hermione. "Have the gifts we gave you at reach, they might come in handy."
Hermione nodded, she always had them: the key around her neck and the mirror in her pocket.
Dumbledore just looked at them, making plans, planning their fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters as if it were just another Quidditch Match.
"I know you're already doing a lot." Dumbledore said suddenly. "But I would like something else. Please, keep the students safe."
"Don't worry Professor." Tomoyo said seriously. "We would never endanger the students."
"This is our battle, not theirs." Eriol added.
The rest just nodded.
"Then we shall train even more." Shaoran said.
Again there were nods from everyone.
They were about to leave when the door suddenly burst opened. A witch in dark-red robes entered running and with a worried expression in her face.
"Albus, quickly, five students and a professor are missing." McGonagall was saying as she entered.
Just then she saw them sitting there.
"You!" she cried out. "How come you disappear in the middle of a crisis, all the professors are dead worried for you!"
"I called them to discuss some things Minerva, don't worry." Dumbledore excused them. "We're done so they may retire."
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore." Eriol said smiling.
And they all left quietly the place.
"What was really going on here Albus?" Mcgonagall asked once they were out.
"You'll find out in due time Minerva, in due time." Was all Dumbledore answered.
The Sorcerers heard this answer and stayed calm, then they left for the Sorcerers' Room to continue their training.
The time is coming near.
When all the hidden powers and magic shall unleash, secrets and mysteries will be unveiled.
A final battle between good and evil shall take place.
Which side will claim the victory this time?
Finally I'm done with this chapter. After a he writer's block(yes, another one). Happy Christmas and New Year to Everyone by the way(Yes, a little bit late but the intention is what matters, ne?). I was truly deceived by such little reviews I received(;;), it makes me believe no ones reads my stories anymore. Hope you leave more reviews this time()
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. I really didn't know who would deserve to win the Quidditch Cup so I preferred to cancel it the way you've read above. And it was also a good way to announce that the final battle is approaching.
The next chapter it will all begin. I'm considering about three more chapters before the end, and am still waiting for you to vote if you wish for a sequel or not, and how have you liked this Fanfic so far.
If you have the attention to read my Bio, there you will find the Summary of stories I have but yet have not decided to post them, you may read that and vote for one you like.
Please don't forget to leave a review.
Arigato.
Ja Ne!
