Five reviews, I'm flabbergasted. I thought I was going to get around like 2 only, but I'm wrong. I'm so sorry about the rushing at the end of the previous chapter, I was in a rush to go to San Jose! Anyways, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, just take a look at my biography and you'll see a list of what I own and what I don't own.

Dumbledore led them to a secluded place. He looked around, and told them the address: Number 12 Grimmauld Place, London.
"I'll meet you guys there," Dumbledore said as they nodded. He disaparated with a faint pop. The five stood there, blank minded, especially a certain auburn hair girl.
"How are we going to get there?" asked Sakura, confused. Sakura heard a swish behind her. She turned around and only saw blue light. "Hoe?" Sakura looked closely and the light disappeared. "HOEEEE!" She didn't see Kokoro anywhere along with Eriol. Sakura looked around and only saw Syaoran and Tomoyo.
"Shall we go?" Tomoyo asked, stepping forward. Syaoran nodded and stuck his hand out. Tomoyo took it along with Sakura.
"How are we going to get there?" asked Sakura. She got an answer by a blinding light surrounding her.
Number 12 Grimmauld Place
Sakura landed on top of Syaoran. Eriol caught Tomoyo before she can land on her back. "Thanks very much Syao-kun," Sakura muttered sarcastically. She got off him with the help from Kokoro.
"I guess this it," Kokoro said as she pulled Syaoran up.
"But there's only 11 and 13!" Sakura exclaimed. "Where's 12?"
"We'll find out," Kokoro replied softly, "won't we?" She glanced at Sakura. "You first my dear niece," Kokoro put her hand in front her, waiting for Sakura to go.
When they got closer to the buildings, a house between eleven and thirteen started to inflate. "Interesting," Syaoran muttered, not quite impressed.
"It's only visible to ones with magic," Kokoro said with amusement. "And yet, they did it well." Dumbledore just smiled. "Is there something that you would like to tell us Professor?" Amusements played in Dumbledore's eyes.
Inside Number 12 Grimmauld Place
Harry stared out the window, looking at the group that Dumbledore had with him.
"Is that them?" asked Ron, pointing at them. "WHOA! Look at the girl with raven hair! Look at her eyes! Are those eyes real?" WHACK! "What was that for, Hermy?"
"Of course they're not real," Hermione replied matter of factly. "It's impossible for people to have eyes like that unless they have contacts."
"What are contacts?" Ron asked, looking outside. Hermione sighed and walked away while muttering 'wizards.'
Outside Number 12 Grimmauld Place
"I was wondering if I got the right sorcerers," Dumbledore said, "but now that I've known, I found the right ones." Sakura cocked her head to one side, confused. Dumbledore chuckled lightly. "I meant that I have found the right sorcerers." His blue eyes twinkle with happiness and sorrow.
Dumbledore opened the door to the house and walked in. "Please be quiet when you enter." Dumbledore entered with the transferred students following behind. "Follow me," Dumbledore said in a low voice that resembles a whisper. Dumbledore led them into the kitchen where they saw a mess of red heads, a brown head, and a jet black head. All attentions were on the newcomers. "Everybody, these are the transfer students that I've been talking about."
"Good afternoon," Kokoro said while bowing, "my name is Kokoro Hiiragizawa."
"Eriol Hiiragizawa," Eriol said, also bowing.
"Wo jiao Syaoran Li," Syaoran said in Chinese. (I got this from my electronic dictionary. Correct me if I'm wrong.)
"Watashi no namae wa Sakura Kinomoto desu," Sakura said, bowing.
"Watashi no namae was Tomoyo Daidouji desu," Tomoyo bowed down.
"Uhh…what did they say?" asked the red head that's sitting next to the girl with brown hair.
"They just introduced themselves," Kokoro replied. "[Introduce yourself in English. Unless Onii-chan didn't teach you English.]"
"He's Syaoran Li," Sakura said, "but call him Li. I'm Sakura Kinomoto, and that's Tomoyo Daidouji. Sorry about before."
"This is Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasly, Remus Lupin, Tonks, (forgot her whole name) Mad-Eye Moody, Bill Weasley, Charlie Weasley, Fred and George Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter" Dumbledore said pointing to each and everyone of them. Mrs. Weasley instantly stood up and pulled more chairs out of the air and set them next to Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
"Sit, sit," Mrs. Weasley said, "don't just stand there. Make yourself at home."
"But our stuff," Sakura said. Mrs. Weasley just waved the words away.
"Don't worry about them," she said, dragging each and everyone of them to sit down. When they all sat down, Mrs. Weasley asked them, "Where do you guys come from?"
"We're from Japan," Sakura said, "except for Kokoro."
"Where did you live?"
"England," Kokoro replied softly. Confusion was amongst our fellow witches and wizards.
"Then why didn't you go to Hogwarts if you have magic?" Ron inquired.
"I did," Kokoro replied.
"How come we never saw you?" it was Harry who spoke up. Kokoro's glass flashed.
"You'll find out in an adequate amount of time," she muttered but strident enough for everybody to hear. (Strident is another word for loud. Don't ask about big vocabularies. I just feel like using them now.) Silence was upon the group.
The stillness in the room was enough to drive one wild, unless they can control their own sanity. Three out of sixteen managed to keep their sanity to level one. Level two was our very own Card mistress, Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li, Tomoyo Daidouji, and the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter. Last but not least, level three. People on level three are…Let's say, very odd. Level three are Fred and George Weasley, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, Moody, Bill, Charlie, Ginny, and Tonks.
Level one means they can tolerate they stillness and maintain their own sanity to a perfect level. Eriol would smile at those at level two to four. Kokoro looked concerned and pitied those who can't maintain their sanity. Dumbledore, well, who knows what is going on in that man's mind. (Ehehehehe…)
Sakura was looking around nervously, not able to control her own anxiousness. Once in a while she would fool around with the hem of her shirt, twisting and turning it, wrinkling the tender pink material. Syaoran was able to control his sanity for a second, only a second, and then he lost it. Not all of his sanity is at loss, some remained, and some went. The stillness, more like the room is filled with tenseness, was too much for him. Tomoyo was glancing at every object her eyes can hit. She played with her hair nervously, losing 50% of sanity in point two seconds. (It's 0.2 okay?) Harry, his glass kept on slipping off due to his moist face. Bead of sweats rolled down his face. It was not hot, in fact, it was a perfect weather. No it was not the weather, it was his nerves.
Level three, you can say they've gone INSANE! Their eyes kept on averting from places to places, stopping once in a while when they caught each other eyes. Tonks' hair kept on changing color and length due to her nervousness. Moody's magical eye has gone crazy, rolling around in its sockets.
"Well," Eriol spoke up, breaking the silence, "it seems like the stillness is getting on your nerve." Everybody, with the exceptional of level one, sighed in relief.
Harry's POV
Everybody was silent. It was not any kind of silence…It was more like…Someone was dead. I was getting impatient with the silent. How can those three stand it? The silent was a killer. If this kind of silent can kill, I'd be dead by now.
End of POV
"Why won't you kids go somewhere now?" Mrs. Weasley suggested.
"I know a park near here," Kokoro said, "if you guys want to go…" Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ron, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol stood up. "I'll take that as a yes." She smiled. "Do you guys want to come along?" Ginny, George, and Fred shook their head. She smiled and nodded. Ron, Hermione, and Harry went dragging Ginny, George, and Fred.
"Com' on," Ron said, "it's gonna be fun." Kokoro shook her head as she walked outside. Ron, pulling Ginny, Harry, pulling George, Hermione, pulling Fred, Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran followed.

Sorry for not updating soon! I had writers' block and I didn't want to start another chapter. On the next chapter, it's going to get a little bit confusing. Please R&R!
