Disclaimer – Unfortunately, I don't own anything! Please read and review
but most importantly – ENJOY!
A/N – Sorry it took so long to update but I'll be quicker next time. Also I know some people have been asking for their Japanese names but I'm not doing that in this story. I wrote this with their American names and I can't go through it all and change them, Sorry! I will be using their Japanese names in future stories though.
"I know, is she okay?...I was on the phone with her when she cried out...no, Li isn't here...sorry, Xiao Lang isn't here...I'm not sure...well Aunt Yelan will tell you if there is anything wrong...I can't tell you, no...when she's stronger, can you get her to phone me?...on his mobile, yes...I'm with Sakura's family...yes, the card mistress's family...I'm not going any where...yes, talk to you soon, bye." Meilin put the phone down and sighed.
"She fainted, no one really knows why. But it definitely had something to do with Li." Kero flew so he hovered in front of her.
"How do you know that?"
"Because, stuffed animal, she was saying his name while she was conscious, before she fell unconscious. That's why Xiefa rang." Julian shook his head.
"Something has to be wrong. A mother's connection with her children is very strong, especially when magic is involved. Yelan may be sensing or reacting to things that are happening to Li."
"You don't think he's hurt do you?" Tori frowned.
"What about Sakura?"
"If there's one thing I know about Li, I know he won't let any harm come to Sakura while he's able to stop it." Madison stated and Meilin nodded, agreeing with her.
"They are right; the brat won't let Sakura get hurt." Meilin glared at Kero.
"Would you stop calling him that?"
"Why? Both of you Chinese brats call me names!"
"Well, I think-"
"I don't think now is the best time to start arguing about this." Julian interrupted, looking at Tori. The young man was shaking slightly and it was clear that he was angry.
"Sorry Tori." Everyone looked at Meilin as she apologized. "I kind of forgot that you've got family missing too." The black haired man just nodded and silence came into the room again.
"This is the worst part." Madison started as the other four looked at her. "The not knowing."
"His breathing is so shallow you can hardly see his chest moving. But he is definitely breathing." Madam Pomfrey explained to the small group of teachers around her. Sakura nodded.
"Aren't you going to put him on a life support machine or something?" The teachers shared a look.
"Great, she's a muggle."
"Severus, kindly do not talk like that in front of our guest. And surely she has proven that she is not a muggle." Dumbledore spoke quietly but there was no mistaking the underlying danger in his voice.
"What's a muggle?" Dumbledore turned to the young girl.
"It is a term we wizards use when talking about non magical people." He explained. "Am I right in thinking that you went to a muggle school?" Sakura nodded and the headmaster smiled. "And you are not a witch, are you? Nor is your friend a wizard."
"They're not?" Professor McGonagall asked, as surprised as the other teachers. "Then what are they? They have magic, we all saw that."
"We're sorcerers." A boy's voice answered her and the small group turned to see the brunette boy sitting up.
"Li!" Sakura rushed to his side and gave him a gentle hug. Dumbledore smiled.
"He is right. And am I right in thinking that you do not belong here, in this world?"
"What?"
"Yes. I don't know how this happened but I think we come from different worlds, or realms of magic. Our magic helped bring us here and helped us to be able to survive here."
"But didn't you give your magic to her? How will you get it back?" Li smiled and turned to Sakura, his eyes glowing.
"I'm sure that we'll find a way to do that." Sakura blushed and turned slightly away from his gaze. Madam Pomfrey stepped forward.
"Well, young man that was a fast recovery. Too fast for my liking, considering your injury. You're to stay here over night so nothing goes wrong. Then you can sort out your magic problems." Madam Pomfrey stated, and Sakura turned even brighter red.
"Stay out! This is the hospital wing! Not a fan convention!" The small group clustered round the bed turned to see Madam Sprout fighting to get in the doorway. Dumbledore turned to the young couple.
"Looks like you made quite an impact on the students." Sakura blushed then grew serious.
"Um...could you tell us where we are exactly?" The old headmaster smiled.
"Certainly. You are at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, presently in the hospital wing. I am Professor Albus Dumbledore, the current headmaster." Sakura sat back, stunned while Li suddenly gasped.
"You mean the school Harry Potter goes to?" Several teachers shared nervous glances at his question.
"Why do you want to know?" Professor McGonagall asked crisply.
"My mother has visions of him; I've had a few myself. We never knew he was real though, like living real. We thought we were getting visions of a distant relative, sometime in the past or future." Dumbledore nodded while Sakura and the other teachers stared at Li.
"And what are your names?" At this Li turned to Sakura.
"You didn't tell them our names?" She blushed.
"I was busy, you could have told them."
"I was unconscious." He replied before turning to the teachers. "My name is Li Showron and this is Sakura Avalon." The next couple of minute were spent introducing the young couple to the teaching staff of Hogwarts.
"May I ask what kind of magic it is that you use? I mean, I know you are sorcerers but I haven't seen anything like those cards you have before." Professor Flitwick piped up. Li and Sakura shared a look before the young boy opened his mouth.
Well..." He took a deep breath, which Sakura giggled at but was interrupted by the school's nurse.
"Oh no, that's enough for today. These young people have been through a lot and they need their rest. I am sure they can answer more questions in the morning." And with that Madam Pomfrey shooed the teachers out of the hospital wing. Sakura was left with Li and Dumbledore.
"You will both be staying here tonight. I think it's best that we don't separate you." Both blushed at the headmaster's words but nodded their agreement. The silver haired teacher smiled then left. Madam Pomfrey settled both of them in then left them alone, in beds next to each other.
As soon as Sakura climbed underneath the covers she realized just how tired she was. She got into a comfortable position and then her body lost the ability to move, so she just lay there. A sound made her move her head and she saw Li getting out of his bed.
"Li, what are you..." Her words trialed off as he climbed onto the side of her bed. He smiled before leaning down towards her.
"Thank you." He whispered then he kissed her on her cheek. Sakura was glad that it was dark as she was sure she was beet red.
"For what?" Li just smiled before turning to go back to his bed. Somehow Sakura managed to move her arm and grab his wrist. She shook her head when he looked at her quizzically then pulled him down, towards her.
"Sakura, I won't be able to move in a minute."
"That's the idea." She whispered back, much to Li's surprise. The young couple stared at each other before settling into each others arms and falling asleep.
An hour later Madam Pomfrey came to check on them she found the young couple on Sakura's bed, asleep with their arms wrapped around each other. The nurse smiled and with a flick of her wand a screen erected itself around the one empty bed and one full bed, to give the young couple some privacy.
In the morning the pair woke in a very awkward position. Li was on his back, with Sakura half on top of him. They stared at each other before Sakura rolled off of him, and the bed.
"Aah!" Li was beside her in seconds, pulling her to her feet.
"Are you okay?" She nodded and smiled at him. Both jumped as the screen besides them disappeared into thin air. Madam Pomfrey stared at them.
"Last night was a one off, I should have woken you up! There'll be no misbehaving in my hospital wing!" Sge gave both of them a glare before leaving. As soon as she was gone Li burst out laughing. Sakura stared at him.
"What?"
"I was just imaging your brother's face if he had heard that conversation." Sakura smiled but it quickly faded.
"Hey, I didn't mean to upset you." Li said as he stopped laughing. The brunette next to him shook her head.
"It's not that. You just reminded me that we're here and Tori, and Madison and Meilin and Julian and Kero are...there." Tears filled her emerald eyes as thoughts of her friends and family flashed into her mind. She was surprised when Li pulled her towards him.
"We'll get home, I promise." The young girl buried her head into his chest and let her tears fall. Li felt his heart tear at the girl's sadness and pulled her closer. A few minutes later and her tears dried. Li lifted her chin up so she was looking into his eyes.
"I have yet to break one of my promises to you and I don't intend to start anytime soon."
"Uh ahem." The pair broke apart at the sound of the cough and Sakura quickly wiped her face. Dumbledore smiled.
"I have come to invite you both to breakfast with me, and the rest of the school." Sakura smiled.
"I'd love to! Li?" She turned to see the brunette boy shaking his head.
"I would like to come to but I don't feel strong enough yet. I had quite an active night." Sakura blushed furiously at his words and Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
"Very well, Miss Avalon?" He offered his arm to Sakura who stepped forward to take it but Li caught her arm.
"Be careful." He whispered as he gave her another kiss on the cheek. She nodded at him then took the headmaster's arm and left the room. Madam Pomfrey came in to serve Li before leaving to join the rest of the school.
After eating Li was overcome with exhaustion. He managed to tidy the remains of his breakfast away and put it on his bedside table before collapsing back onto the pillows and falling sound asleep. He didn't even pull up the covers.
A few minutes later and a figure stepped out of the shadows by the doorway. His long black cloak was identical to that of the Death eaters the young boy had fought the day before. He walked slowly over to a cupboard and pulled out several bottles and a bowl. He worked quickly, yet quietly so he didn't wake the young boy. Finally, he poured some of the mixture onto a cloth then advanced on the boy.
A/N – Cliffhanger! Or the best I can think of anyway! I will update soon but reviews encourage me. And yes, that was a subtle hint. If you call it subtle, oh well. Stay tuned folks!
