The Reason for Arrival

The CCS gang and the HP trio started looking around for the nearest available carriage. After they found one, they all got in and made themselves comfortable.

Before getting on Sakura, Syaoran, and Harry looked towards the front of the carriage. Tomoyo, Eriol, and Meilin wondered what they were looking at but kept quiet about it. Ron and Hermione were completely oblivious to it and were just wondering why everyone was so quiet.

While getting on the carriage Sakura, Syaoran, and Harry's gazes never left the direction they were staring except to climb onto the carriage.

Once on, Tomoyo finally asked, "What are you looking at Sakura?"

At this, Ron and Hermione finally seemed to realize why everyone was being so quiet.

"Um … I'm not very sure but they look like black horses with wings on their backs." Sakura answered and Syaoran nodded to confirm that this was also what he was seeing.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione seemed surprised at Sakura's response.

"You can see them too?" asked Harry.

"Yeah, but why can't they?" asked Syaoran, confused.

"Only those who have seen someone dying can see Thestrals. We learned about them last year." Hermione informed.

After this everyone got quiet. Each stuck in their own memories of the past.

After a couple of minutes, Harry decided to interrupt the unnerving silence. "Looks like we're almost there. Do you know where you're going to go?"

The CCS gang looked at Eriol, hoping he knew what to do.

"A Proffesor will be waiting for our arrival." he responded.

The carriage started slowing down and soon came to an abrupt halt.

After stepping out, they heard a voice behimd them say, "Good you're finally here. I was worried that you would decide not to come."

A stressed looking McGonagall stepped out from the shadows behind them and looked as if she hadn't slept for days.

'She probably hasn't because of all the Death Eater attacks there has been lately.' Harry thought.

"Hello Proffesor" Harry, Ron, and Hermione greeted in unison.

"Potter, Weasley, Granger" McGonagall acknowledged and quickly turned her attention towards the CCS gang. "You're the exchange students, right?"

"Of course" Eriol answered.

"Good, we had better hurry, the Headmaster wants to see you before the feast begins." McGonagall then led the gang up the stairs, towards the Headmaster's office.

The trio wondered why Dumbledore wanted to see them before the feast but quickly dismissed it for now, agreeing to disscuss it later when they weren't so hungry. With that they headed towards the Great Hall.

Meanwhile, the CCS gang and McGonagall finally reached their destination.

McGonagall knocked, "Headmaster the exchange students are here."

The door slowly creaked open and the CCS gang became speechless with amazement. For, in the office, lay some of the strangest objects they had ever seen. As they looked around they spotted a beautiful bird perched by a man with a long white beard.

"Hello Card Misstress, I see you and you're friends made it here safely. Please, have a seat."

After they sat, the bird left the man's side and landed on Sakura's knee.

"It seems Fawkes has taken quite a liking to you Card Misstress." Dumbledore said.

"What is he?" Sakura asked.

"He is a Pheonix, but we can disscuss these things later. Right now, we really should talk about the reason I called you here."

At this, everyone became serious.

"As Eriol has already informed you, there is a battle going on in our world. The only one that can save us is Harry Potter. I'm guessing by the surprised looks on your faces that you have already met Harry." The CCS gang nodded. "Well, he is the one you are supposed to protect. Voldemort's forces are growing stronger and I need your help in teaching him both eastern and western magic, as well as helping him to defend himself without a wand. I hope I'm not asking to much of you."

"Of course not, we would be more than happy to help." Sakura immediately agreed.

Both McGonagall and Dumbledore immediately became releived. "I'm glad you agreed. I will tell you about how you are going to teach him after the feast. Now, would you please follow me so I can introduce you and get you sorted and ready for the feast before we are late."

They all nodded and followed the Headmaster out of the office. They were then lead to a room which they supposed was beside the Great Hall because of all the noise.

"Please have a seat. You will be called in, but until then you can sit here and rest." McGonagall told them as she and Dumbledore headed out of the door, towards the noise.

A few minutes later, McGonagall opened the door and told them to follow her.

AN: I'm not very sure what house I should put Eriol, Tomoyo, or Meilin in. Please give me some suggestions and I will see what I can do. Other characters will be appearing later in the story. Please REVIEW, and if you know I made a mistake tell me.
