She looked at Eriol, and he gave her a smile.
Sakura, for once in the past two years, felt happy. Even Ying Fa, had taken a liking to the presence of Eriol again… though, she was still a little nervous around him, since he… though it was a test, almost killed her countless of times.

.Chapter two.

The next morning, the sun was up and shining brightly, a little too brightly as it seeped through the curtains of Sakura's bed.
'Argh! That damned sun is too bright for it's own good.' Ying Fa voice out to Sakura that morning, Sakura felt her stir and her restlessness.
Sakura blinked a couple of times as she sat up stretching, 'Hush Ying Fa, don't you think it's a bit early to start the complaints?' Sakura asked her counterpart.
Since Ying Fa revealed herself to Sakura, Ying Fa decided to change a few bad habits, like waking up earlier in the morning.
Sakura sighed as she got up from her bed, took out the school robes and quickly changed.
After brushing her hair, brushing her teeth, and washing her face, she looked at herself in the mirror before walking out and into the common room.
Sakura noticed Hermione and Ginny were already up and just about to head to the Great hall when Hermione noticed her.
"Good Morning Sakura." She greeted, "It's alright if I call you Sakura right?"
Sakura smiled and nodded, "Good morning! And you can call me Sakura if you let me call you by your first names."
All three girls smiled at each other as they headed down for breakfast.
Sakura smiled at Eriol who smiled back, "Ohayo!" she greeted him.
"Good Morning Sakura-chan, How are you today?"
Sakura took a seat in front of him, "I'm good, you?"
Eriol smiled that usual smile, "Never better."
'That smile freaks me out.' Ying Fa admitted.
Sakura giggled causing Eriol to have a confusing look, but smiled none the less.

Hermione and Ginny looked at each other before smiling at Sakura and Eriol as they laughed and caught up with each other. Even though, they barely understood a word the two were saying, as they were both speaking Japanese, they seemed really close.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say they like each other." Said Ginny.
Hermione nodded, "Maybe they do…"
As breakfast continued Harry and Ron had come down to eat, "What are they talking about?" asked Ron as he watched in amazement at how fast Sakura and Eriol talked in Japanese.
Hermione and Ginny Shrugged, "It's really none of you're business." Ginny said.
"I was just curious." Ron replied.
Harry sighed, "Not again." He muttered to himself.
"Well Curiosity killed the Cat, Ron." Hermione added.
"Yeah, but I'm not a cat now am I… besides, didn't Satisfaction bring him back?"
As Ron and Hermione continued their little argument, Professor McGonagall had arrived beside Sakura, "I would like to talk with you Ms. Kinomoto." She said, before she turned to Ron and Hermione, "Weasley, Granger, please lower you're voices, you're right next to each other."
Sakura stood up as she waved bye to her friends, and followed the Professor to her Office.
"Well, since in sixth year, it is N.E.W.T classes, I would need the subjects you'd like to attend."
Sakura looked over the list of subjects, "Herbology, Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Charms, and Transfiguration." She said, with a nod, "That should keep me busy."
The professor nodded, "But I'd like to see if you're able to be in my class."
Sakura nodded, 'Only fair.' She thought to herself, "What would you like me to do?"
Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment thinking, "Turn this book into a Rabbit."
'Piece of Cake.' Ying Fa thought.
Sakura nodded, as she pulled out her wand, said a spell, and watched as the book turned into a black and brown rabbit.
"Turn it back." The professor instructed.
Sakura muttered another spell and the book was back.
"Can you turn yourself into an animal?" McGonagall asked.
Sakura nodded, "Yes… but only a few are perfected."
"Which ones?"
"A White Tiger cub, a Wolf cub, and a snowy Owl."
The professor nodded, "Show me."
Sakura closed her eyes as she felt every bone in her body change as she changed into a small White Tiger.
The professor lifted Sakura up with an approving smile, "Very good, you can change back now." She said as she set Sakura on the chair.
Sakura seemed to have nodded as she changed back.
She smiled at her professor.
"Very well." Professor McGonagall flicked her wand and a paper appeared in her hands, "Here are your classes, good luck, and see you third period."
Sakura nodded, and thanked her.
"Oh, Ms. Kinomoto, since you have Defence Against the Dark Arts first, please take this note, Severus isn't the nicest when it comes to Tardiness."
Sakura smiled and thanked her again before setting off to class.

Everyone got silent when they heard a knock at the door, everyone knew Snape rarely liked to be disturbed while teaching.
Snape slammed the door open with a flick of his wand and Sakura just stood there, unfazed by the glare he was giving her.
"Ms. Kinomoto… what brings you here?" he asked.
Sakura stepped in the dreary classroom and showed him both the note and her schedule.
Harry quickly scribbled a note to Hermione and Ron, 'Poor Sakura, we should have warned her about Snape first…' Harry Wrote.
Ron nodded to himself, 'I agree…'
Hermione on the other hand wrote, 'Maybe… but I think she'll do fine… I mean, she was supposed to be in Year 5 right? She'll be able to handle this class.'
"You chose my class?" asked Snape.
'We're here aren't we?' asked Ying Fa.
'Ying Fa! You can sense that he can read minds…''Yeah, yeah, but hey, we can block him. We know Occlumency.'
Snape who was tired of waiting for a reply was going to see what she was thinking about when she interrupted.
"You don't have to go that far." She muttered to him, "Besides, we like our privacy, especially Ying Fa."
Snape slightly taken back, nodded, "Take a seat near Malfoy." He said as he motioned towards the blond boy.
Sakura nodded as she took her seat, Malfoy glared at her and she, or more Ying Fa took control, and glared right back.
As the rest of the class droned on, it was soon over.

"Ms. Kinomoto… A word please." Said Snape.
Sakura nodded as she put away her books in her bag, Her nodded at Eriol and the others to go and she looked at Snape who closed the door with a flick of his wand.
"I would like to know how you knew I'd read your mind." He said.
"Well, you should know, you also use Occlumency. You can feel the person invading you're mind." Sakura explained, "Unless... you were too caught up in your thought you wouldn't feel the unwanted presense there..."
"You taught you Occlumency?"
"My Guardians."
Snape nodded, "Very Well… but next time I ask you a question, I expect an answer quick."
Sakura nodded, "Of course, but it'd depend on the questions, if it involves Ying Fa and I, we discuss the answer together, hence the reason why it takes long to answer."
Snape gave her a slight glare, but nodded none the less, "Very well… you may go."
Sakura nodded as she picked up her bag and walked out of class.
"What did he want?" asked Ron.
"To see how good I was in Defence Against the Dark Arts." She lied.
They nodded buying that lie, and went to the library since they had an hour break before their next class.
Harry and Ron simply took a magazine of the latest Quidditch, Hermione decided to look over on her Potions.
Eriol decided to start the Essay for Defence Against the Dark Arts to get it out of the way fast.
Sakura took a book on History since she wasn't taking that subject, she would've… but Dumbledore had said the professor was a ghost.
'This is Boring…' Ying Fa told Sakura.
'I guess…' Sakura thought back, 'I'm beginning to really miss Onii-chan and Yukito-san back home…'
'Well, Yukito-san would be here if you hadn't split Yue from him.'
'But they deserved their own lives…'
'If you say so…'
Sakura sighed, 'Where are we going to go for Christmas break? It'd be a bit much to go back and forth from here to Japan and back…'
'So…?'
'Just wondering… where do you want to stay? Here, Japan, or some place else…'
'I don't care… it's you're body…'
'Not all the time…'
'True… that reminds me…' Ying Fa sighed.
'I know… the 8th is tomorrow…'
'Did you tell that old man?''Ying Fa!' Sakura scolded.
'What? Dumbledore is old…'Sakura giggled a bit, 'True… but don't call him that… it's not nice.'
'Well… if you remember correctly, I'm not exactly the nicest person here…'
'You're nice to me.'
'Yeah, that's because you are me. Or I'm you…'
'Hmm… make you wonder doesn't it… who's who…'
'What do you mean?' Ying Fa asked with a bit of curiosity.
'I mean like, are you me? Or am I you?' Sakura explained.
'Don't they mean the same thing?'
'I guess… it's like that question, is the glass half empty or half full?'
'Argh! They mean the same damn thing!'
'Sure they do but what do you think the glass is?'
'Hmmm…. Half Empty?'
'I think that too… but it can be Half Full ne?'
'Baka… I already told you, they mean the exact same thing!'
'I know, I know… but which makes more sense?'
Before Ying Fa could answer Eriol cut in, "Sakura-chan?"
Sakura blinked and noticed everyone was looking at her.
"Hoe…." She muttered, "Sorry… what were you saying?" she asked.
Eriol chuckled, "You must be interested in that book… we were calling you for the passed few minutes."
Sakura laughed nervously, "I guess…"
"We were just about to leave since the hour is almost up." Explained Hermione.
Sakura nodded as she put the book away.
They all began to walk down the stairs as it began to move.
Eriol looked at Sakura, "Do you often talk to yourself?" he asked in Japanese.
"Huh?" Sakura was confused.
'Oh shit! Sakura, we didn't block our minds!' Ying Fa cried.
Quickly shutting that part of her thoughts Sakura laughed nervously, "Oh that… hmmm… um…"
Eriol smiled, "We'll leave that question for another time too?"
"Hai… Arigatou…"
Eriol nodded, "No problem." He went towards the History class, while Sakura walked the other way to Herbology.
'We should be more careful around Eriol-kun huh?' asked Sakura.
'Hai… it's for the better, we can't let any students know yet. It's too early.' Ying Fa said.
'Alright… well… I'll remind Dumbledore about Tomorrow… right now… let's just get to class right?'
'Ok.'
Sakura continued walking, and entered class showing her schedule to the professor. Quickly finding a place next to Neville and quickly making friends since they both, had in interest in plants.
Unknown to Sakura or Ying Fa… Eriol wasn't the only one who seemed to have heard her conversation… in fact. Two other people heard it, but none dangerous…
Who are they? You're very own Harry Potter, and Albus Dumbledore.
