Dumbledore was amazed, Harry had found the long lost book of Sakura, unlocked the key and by the looks of it, inherited the Ancient Magic of the Chinese Wolf Clan, making him the most powerful Mage in existence.
Harry smiled; he could hear the Sakura cards, whispering in his mind, telling him he was loved, that he need not fear being alone anymore. Harry smiled and lifted the Shadow Wand before him, marvelling at the beauty and elegance while revelling in the Magic it possessed. Harry turned to Dumbledore and smiled, "Professor, would it be ok if we flew instead of Apparating, I don't know how the Cards would take it?" Dumbledore looked at Harry then nodded, rasing his wand, "Don't worry sir, I don't need a broom."
Dumbledore looked at Harry, How does he act so confidant, if he does know what I think he knows then he would be overpowered with emotions, how is he so calm? Dumbledore jumped slightly when Harry lifted one of the Sakura Cards up in front of him, showing Dumbledore which one it was, The Fly? Dumbledore watched.
Harry felt the power rising up from his Core, "Oh card created by my Mother, shed thy skin and be reborn, this Hadrian commands, by my Star, the Shadow Star, FLY!"
Dumbledore watched amazed as from Harry's back emerged two huge black glossy wings, the feathers seeming to absorb light and emit it a hundred times stronger from Harry's eyes, which were sparkling with power.
Ron and Hermione wandered around Hogwarts, bored to death. Dumbledore had brought them, their families and their belongings to the school for protection. Stepping outside they were amazed to find Dumbledore, white as a sheet staring at a figure with unruly black hair and sparkling green eyes. "HARRY!" Hermione screamed before rushing forward, totally shocked at the wings fading from his back.
Harry looked up and smiled, Hermione was rushing at him, with Ron not far behind. Stepping forward Harry greeted them, "Hey guys, see I'm not the only one here. Why are you guys here?"
Ron stopped about four feet from Harry, surprised by his look, "We've been here about a week. There's been nothing to do so we've spent most of our time in the library or the kitchens. Dobby's been teaching us how to cook Muggle Style." Harry smiled and Ron continued, "Ginny's been hanging out at Hagrid's learning all about the different animals. The twins have been given direct access to their Joke Shop, Mum and Dad are living in the Head Boy and Girl's Room and Percy's living at the ministry."
Harry smiled, "That's cool, I've been suicidal all holiday and up until today life has seemed pretty pointless." Just to prove his point Harry pulled back his sleeves showing the word MURDERER and all the other cuts crisscrossing his arms. Ron stepped back in horror while Hermione threw herself into his arms and cried.
"Why Harry? Why did you do that? Did we do something wrong?" Hermione felt Harry's arms wrap around her and held her tight, "NO Hermione, I did something wrong. I gave up, lost the will to live. I convinced myself that I was the one killing everyone, I was the one who got Cedric and Sirius killed. Right up to about an hour ago I still thought the same way. Do you know what showed me the light?" Harry smiled as he felt Hermione shake her head against his chest, "It was you Hermione, you Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna and Dumbledore. All of you knew the dangers and still you stood by me, through thick or thin, you were always there." Harry felt Hermione's tears through his silk Chinese Robe and smiled sadly, "I will always be there for you…"
Harry stood in the Great Hall, it was half past two in the morning but he was wide-awake. Harry looked down at his hands, in his left was the Sakura Book, his mothers Cards resting within, whispering in his mind, telling him he was loved. In his right was his Shadow Key and The Fly Card. Harry smiled and lifted the key up before his face, "Oh key which hides the power of my star, by my magic I command you, by ancient contract I command you show your true form. RELEASE!" Harry smiled as the Key transformed into the staff, the Black star at the top, pulling in light and releasing it a hundred times stronger. Just then he heard a gasp and looked over, there in the doorway was Hermione, dressed in only a nightgown and her hands over her lips…
Hermione sat and listened as Harry told her everything he knew. He told her of Clow Reed, the Clow Cards, how his mother caught them when she was a child, then of how she transformed the Cards into Sakura Cards. "When I lifted the book, I felt power and knowledge. When I transformed the Key that power and knowledge transferred to me. This is how I know all about my mother. A year before she came here, she was shopping with her family. They were attacked and she was the only survivor. She was sent to an orphanage where two English people adopted her with their own daughter. That daughter became my Aunt Petunia. My mother soon started here. She met my father and during their seventh year they fell in love. After they had me my mother locked the cards away, hoping they would never be needed again. Twenty minutes before Voldemort attacked their home my mum wrote me a letter and passed the cards onto me. Today I found them…"
Harry looked down at the cards in his hands then up at Hermione, "Would you like to see me transform a card?" Harry smiled as Hermione nodded, too shocked to speak.
"Oh card created by my Mother, shed thy skin and be reborn, this Hadrian commands, by my Star, the Shadow Star, Time!"
Hermione was amazed. Everything around them had turned yellow and was not moving. The fire in the hearth had frozen, everything was still. Then Harry walked over to her smiling, "I've frozen time around us so we could talk longer."
Hermione nodded at Harry's words, "Harry why did you call yourself Hadrian?" Harry sighed, "Hadrian is my true name. My mum called me Hadrian when I was born then declared it so before the Cards. My dad didn't like it so he shortened it to Harry. My full name is Hadrian Shaoran Kinemoto. My mother also declared that before the cards. That is why I command them under Hadrian. That is what they know me by…"
Dumbledore smiled, he was still stronger than Harry, this was evident by his avoidance of the Time Freeze, however if he was, then that meant Voldemort was as well. Dumbledore's smiled faltered at this thought then lifted again as Hermione kissed Harry on the cheek before walking off to the Gryfindor Common Room.
Harry stood stunned, his hand against his cheek where Hermione had kissed him. Just as he was about to release Time Dumbledore walked in, "Ah Harry a moment please. I know that you're eager to get to bed, transforming and maintaining Time is an arduous task I know. I was wondering if you had given any thought to what you wished to be when you leave Hogwarts. I understand that you wish to e an Auror that is correct." Harry nodded wondering what Dumbledore was getting to, "You grades are above satisfaction, much to Proffessor Snape's dissatisfaction. However, I am wondering if an Auror truly is the best type of job for you Harry, you are far to strong to waste your skills as a simple Auror. There are other jobs that would suite you far more better, you could start you own division of Magical Law Enforcement. You could move to Japan where your mother grew up, I believe her old friend Tomoyo still lives there, she has a considerable collection of recordings involveing your mother's time as the Card Captor. You could move to Hong Kong and join the Wolf Clan, their leader Shaoran Li would be all to willing to let you join. Him and your mother were very close as children. He is actually one of you four God Parents and is next in line should you decide to live with any of them."
Harry thought about this as he felt his eyes growing heavier, "I'll think about it sir, right now I'm going to release Time before she kills me." Harry raised his staff and was about to release Time when he he dropped the staff and fell to the ground unconscious. All around them Dumbledore watched as the yellow glow faded, leaving only the tiny incorprael form of Time floating above her Master's body. Dumbledore smiled and whispered, "Return to you true form, I will look after him…
