Last Time
"Good night." He Shaoran said to her Sakura and kissed her good-night.
Now
"Wake up Harry, oh Harry wake up! It's the first day of class and I want to see who the new teachers are! Oh Harry, you are hopeless!" In response to Hermione's calls, Harry groaned and turned to his other side. Hermione, having no other choice, took out her wand and muttered. "Aguamenti." A jet of water emmited from her wand and sprayed Harry in the face. Immediately, he got up and attemted to punch whoever did that, and missed Hermione only by a hair, or two. She stood up, gathered her stuff, and left without another word. "Sorry." He called after her, and then got out of bed.
Breakfast was okay, and Hermione forgave him, but Harry had that feeling that someone was watching him. Harry also noticed that the Patil twins where back in school, even after all that happened. When he asked why, Parvati told him it was because her parents finally agreed that it was safer with Dumbledore. Harry shrugged, and walked off to his first class, DADA. This class was a Gryffindor/Slytherin class, and since Draco left, Harry didn't dread it like he always did. That didn't mean he looked forward to it though.
When Harry, and the rest of the class, entered, half of them were fairly surprised.
Earlier That Day
"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" "Ohayo Shaoran-kun!" The two of them walked down to the Great Hall to get a bite to eat. "Ohayo Sakura-san." A voice behind them spoke. "Ohayo, Eriol-kun!" Sakura sat down at the Gryffindor table again and began to take some eggs. "Um, Eriol, since everyone has wands here, what do we use to teach them magic? Should I use create to make a wand for me?" Eriol shook his head and smiled. "No Sakura-san, we just transform our staff or sword into a wand and the words just come to us. That's part of the magic of Clow Reed." Sakura smiled and continued to eat. "Arigatou, Eriol-kun."
Once everyone in the gang was done eating, Eriol took out slips of paper. "These will be your assigned positions. I have Defense against the Dark Arts, Sakura and Shaoran will patrol the halls and maybe watch the teachers because they are Harry's tutors for three nights a week. They may also help with any class, or just be part of it. Tomoyo-chan has Muggle –non-magic people—Studies. Meilin has potions; Yue and Cerberus are in charge for Care of Magical Creatures, Suppi and Ruby are to help me. Everyone got that?" They all nodded. "Good, let's get to it."
Most everyone went off in separate directions.
Back To Where We Left Off
The blue haired person with glasses, who the rest of us know as Eriol, was sitting in an armchair. On his lap was Suppi and to his site was Nakuru. The students were all gathered up outside the classroom, as if expecting an invitation before they enter. "Well, what are you all waiting for? Come on in." Eriol spoke calmly and everyone rushed in, fighting to get a seat in the back. Only Hermione wanted to sit in the front, she had been interested in Eriol –not relationship-wise—ever since she heard that he was the reincarnation of Clow Reed.
After the students each found a seat they were comfortable with, Eriol stood up and began the lesson. "Welcome, I am Eriol Hiriigazawa, and I am filling in for the position of Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. You may call me Eriol, for quite a few of you are older than I am and we are all pretty much the same age. Now, let us began with our first lesson…"
In the middle of the lesson, Sakura and Shaoran silently entered the class and sat down in the back, they were observing Harry, but Sakura couldn't help thinking about what Eriol taught. "…and that's why learning to sense auras is important to any witch or wizard. I see only two students in this class have potential, for only two of them felt a tingle when Sakura and Shaoran entered." The rest of the class turned around, surprised the two entered so quietly. "Harry and Hermione were the only ones that noticed them at all, and both Sakura and Shaoran's auras are flaring wildly. I suggest you all start practicing sensing people's presence. First start with noticing what's around you. The sounds, the smells, the feel of it. Everything you see, hear, smell, feel, and maybe even taste. That is all for today."
The class all picked up their books and left, talking amongst themselves about how interesting a lesson that was. Eriol turned to Sakura and Shaoran. "Thanks for helping me; I couldn't have done it alone." Sakura smiled. "It's nothing Eriol-kun! We were passing by when Nakuru-chan said you needed some help! I also saw that Harry has some potential, I'm glad."
Sakura then turned to see how Tomoyo was doing and Shaoran went to potions to see Meilin. When he got to the dungeons, he saw that Harry was in this class as well. Meilin was doing a very good job of controlling the class, but since she did not have a wand, she could not do the potions beforehand and tell exactly how well students were doing. Shaoran stepped up to her, and took out his black ball on a rope (1). He closed his eyes, and the thing glowed. Instead of turning to the Li Clan Sword, it turned into a silver wand with a moon on the top. He handed it to Meilin, and stepped back.
Several students were watching him as he did this, and wondered why the next second Meilin glomped him. Many were thinking 'I thought he was with Miss Kinomoto.' After Meilin got off him, Shaoran went off to search for Sakura, saying Meilin could use the wand for the day. He found Sakura off in Divination with Firenze. "We will now observe the fire, notice the shapes the flames take. They will tell many things that may or may not come to be." Sakura was staring into one, the flames reflecting off her eyes. When Shaoran walked up to her, she whispered. "Firey is telling me what it means, I really don't like it, and I don't want people to die! Shaoran-kun…" She started crying a bit, and felt Shaoran's strong arms wrapping around her. More tears came out, and she started hiccupping. "It'll be alright Sakura, I promise, it'll be alright." He spoke to her in Japanese, hoping to calm her down.
Lunch
Harry was enjoying a ham and cheese sandwich and apple juice when what seemed like a mutant rabbit with small transparent wings jumped into his lap and dropped a note on his plate, and then it hopped away, leaving Harry to wonder where it came from. "Oi! Harry, what's that note say?" His best friend Ron inquired. Harry opened it up and read aloud:
Hello Harry
Please meet me outside the castle at nine o' clock tonight for your first lesson. Bring your two friends if you must. Shaoran and I look forward to seeing you then. Eriol will escort you to our meeting place.
Sakura
"I guess your getting your first lesson tonight, mate." Ron said, patting Harry on the back. "You too Ron, see here? It says 'bring your two friends' and I'm taking you and Hermione with me. They finished lunch and walked out to their next class.
That Night
Before Eriol could ask the fat lady to open up, Harry, Ron, and Hermione stepped out of the Gryffindor common room with some normal wear (2). He smiled at their eagerness and started walked towards the stairs, the others followed him. Eriol was a little annoyed he was not able to help with their training, but he and Dumbledore had to keep Lord Voldemort and at bay for as long as possible.
When they got to the Quidditch field, the three met up with Sakura and Shaoran, who were wearing new costumes made by Tomoyo. They were really wearing larger versions of Shaoran's Ceremonial Robes, and Sakura's was pink. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at them weirdly, as if they had somehow sprouted two heads. "What ARE you wearing?" Hermione managed to ask. "Tomoyo-chan designed them for us; they're a version of Shaoran-kun's old robes. Of course, I like the ones we wore when we were 13 MUCH better!" At that comment, Shaoran blushed madly.
"Let's start!" Sakura walked to the center of the field, followed by the other four. "So, what do you want to start with?" Hermione started thinking about all she wanted to learn from the Eastern Sorcerers. "Uh, can you show us some stuff you can teach us?" She asked. "Well, I can teach you anything if you try, but I'll spar a bit with Shaoran." She took out her key that she always wore on her neck.
"Key
with the power of the stars!
Show me your true form!
By the
covenant, I, Sakura, command you!
Release!"
The key glowed in her hands, and stretched to become the Star Staff. Sakura grabbed one of her cards and threw it out in front of her. "Release!" The staff hit the card, and a sword emerged. This time, it was in the form of a katana. "Now Shaoran-kun, don't go easy on me!" She took a battle stance, as Shaoran released his Li Clan Sword and got into a battle stance as well. "You three may want to back up." An angelic voice said from behind Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Follow me." Tomoyo said as she got into the stands with her video camera. "Sakura-chan! Eriol-kun put a shield around this place! He says you can try everything you want!"
Sakura nodded and turned back to Shaoran. "Let's start." She ran towards him, prepared for an attack. Shaoran jumped up, took out an ofuda, and threw it. "Suiryuu, Shiyou-rai! (Water Dragon, come forth!)" The water shot directly at Sakura, who summoned storm and watery to counter the attack. She did a double back flip and landed with a kick towards Shaoran. Sakura was four feet away from Shaoran, but her kick sent a wave of power that both pushed him back and cut him a bit too.
Shaoran ran towards Sakura and attempted to attack with his sword, but she leaned back and managed to trip him. "Sakura! You are holding back! I NEED ACTION!" Tomoyo shouted to her, Sakura nodded and smiled. "This is what I learned over those four years." Her aura flared dangerously, that even Ron shivered a little. Before, Harry and Hermione had felt tingling sensations. In the darkness, it looked like Sakura had a pink glow around her, then Shaoran's aura spiked as well. He knew he was close to his maximum, and that Sakura had only reached half her limit, this was not good.
Sakura's katana glowed pink, and Shaoran's sword went green. In seconds, the two lights clashed. After a minute or so, all you could see was two blurs, green and pink, crashing into each other. Back in the stands, Harry muttered. "Where are Omnioculars where you need them?" Two girls, who were watching the battle intently, then shushed him.
The battle ended with Sakura pinning Shaoran down. She then smiled and laid down on him, breathing in and out. "Sakura! Yue's here!" Tomoyo shouted as Yue finally got in after the barrier went away. He was paler than usual as she flew to his mistress. "Mistress! Let me heal you." Sakura gave a weak smile. "Eriol was right to keep you out; you would've rushed in to stop the fight otherwise." Then Cerberus flew in and glared at Shaoran. "Oi! Kid, did you do this to my Mistress?" Shaoran looked at him wearily, before Sakura stopped Cerberus from attacking. "Don't worry Kero-chan, I'm fine."
Cerberus looked at Shaoran, then Sakura. "If he ever hurts you Sakura, I'll, I'll –haha, I don't want this M rated–!"
The next few weeks, Harry, Ron, and Hermione came every other day to learn about their magic. During those sessions, Shaoran assigned him to be Sakura's personal guardian. He would always stop her from doing anything that might hurt her, and I me ANYTHING. This lead to…
"Shaoran, I'm fine! I'm not a kid, I can fight for myself!" "But Sakura, it's just that—""I don't care! It's just that what! I'm too weak? I'm not strong enough? I'm too DELICATE! What is it!" "Sakura—""I need you to know that I am strong, I don't NEED a personal bodyguard 24/7!"
Author's Notes
First off, I do not own Card Captor Sakura or Harry Potter, I am simply using them in my fan fiction.
(1) It's what the sword is before he releases/transforms it. The tiny ball thing.
(2) Like sweatshirts and stuff, other than black robes.
