Cover Blown? Chap. 4

Disclaimer: It's the same as my other HP stories, I don't own it. I only own my plot and Sakura Croft. Tomb Raider belongs to their respected owners. School is coming up in less than two weeks and then I'll officially be a junior! Plus, I'm gonna get my driving permit soon! Woohoo! Enough of my incessant babbling, and on to the story.

'Shit shit shit. Hope my cover isn't blown.'

"Can you explain why you are late Ms. Croft?" McGonagall gave her a stern look.

Sakura knew she'd get expelled if she revealed the whole truth.

"Professor, I got a tad lost. You see, while I was exiting the train, I got pushed off towards where the carriages were. Unfortunately, all the carriages were taken and that's when I got chased until I got here. In case you're wondering, I killed this man in self defense." Sakura replied giving an ambiguous look. 'It's half true'

"Ok, Ms. Croft, since you're new, we'll let you off the hook this time. And what in blazes are you wearing?"

"School robes, professor. Why, is there a problem?" she knew fully well she was dressed as a male.

"You're wearing the wrong uniform, Ms. Croft."

"Professor, it has your crest on the corner of your robes so I'm not wearing the wrong uniform." Sakura crossed her arms. "Skirts don't suit me, professor. It's either I wear this or nothing at all. Take your pick." She said seriously.

Slytherin Table

The sorting of the first years was complete but Sakura was still MIA.

'The bloody bitch probably bailed. Yes, I don't have to deal with her!' Draco sighed in relief.

Blaise was feeling the opposite. 'Sakura, where are you? I hope you aren't hurt.'

A loud bang was heard throughout the hall and their attention shifted toward the Great Hall doors. Sakura landed from a flip while a man was shooting at her.

'She's alive?!' and Draco's euphoria left him.

'Thank Merlin she's ok.' Blaise felt all the bad feelings leave his body.

Everyone turned to see that Sakura did a back flip and shot 4 times from her guns and landed gracefully.

'Fucking showoff.' Draco's brow twitched.

Silence filled the hall as the man fell over dead. She walked over and grabbed something from the guy and a card of some sort. Their jaws hung open just like the rest of the students including the professors.

'She'd make a great deatheater.' Blaise and Draco shocked at how unfazed Sakura was by the man's death.

"Sakura Croft?" McGonagall broke the silence. "Can you explain why you are late Ms. Croft?" McGonagall gave her a stern look.

"Professor, I got a tad lost. You see, while I was exiting the train, I got pushed off towards where the carriages were. Unfortunately, all the carriages were taken and that's when I got chased until I got here. In case you're wondering, I killed this man in self defense." Sakura replied giving an ambiguous look.

"School robes, professor. Why, is there a problem?"

"You're wearing the wrong uniform, Ms. Croft."

"Professor, it has your crest on the corner of your robes so I'm not wearing the wrong uniform." Sakura crossed her arms. "Skirts don't suit me, professor. It's either I wear this or nothing at all. Take your pick." She said seriously.

A whole lot of "oohs" could be heard at every table.

'Shit, she has hell of a smart mouth. This is going to be an interesting year.' Draco put his chin on his curled fingers.

Sakura

"I don't want to impede dinner, so what is it professor?"

Murmurs now started floating at every table.

"I suppose we can make an exception for you wearing the male uniform." McGonagall gritted her teeth; she wanted to choke Sakura but held it back.

"Knew you'd see things my way." She said smugly and smirked. 'Man, I'm such a bitch and damned proud of it.' She smiled on the inside.

Sakura walked towards the Slytherin table. Minerva was going to tell the girl to go up and sit on the stool and get sorted, good thing the Sorting Hat beat her to it.

"She's going to the right house."

Sakura spotted Choney and sat next to him. Everyone resumed with dinner.

"Hiya Sakura!" and embraced his friend in a tight hug.

"Ow! I can't breathe." Sakura said in a tiny voice since her lungs were squished. And he let go.

"Can't believe you stood up to a professor McGonagall, man you're such a dissident. You know, you could've had detention for that? So, how have you been?"

"Good as always. You?"

"Great, other than the fact I have homework and you get to travel." Choney pouted.

"I've had better." She said sarcastically.

"Queen of deathtraps."

"Didn't they say in that muggle saying "live your life to the fullest"? I intend to do that."

"By risking your life."

"Where's the thrill if you don't?"

"Sakura, one day this'll be the death of you."

Sakura laughed and began eating. It had been 5 years since they last saw each other. Choney was the only person she trusted besides Tony, Rinko and Winston. They were great childhood friends.

"By the way, what happened earlier?"

"I'll explain later in my room."

Draco

He was getting angrier with each step Sakura took towards their table. 'Bloody bitch. I'm with her 24/7. 7 days a week.' Draco groaned and put his hand over his eyes. 'My life is over.'

"What's got your wand in a twist, mate?" the Italian patted his friend's back.

"The fact we have to be stuck with that showoff bitch laughing her ass off."

Blaise chuckled. "She reminds me of someone." Emphasis on someone.

"And that someone would be?" Draco narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist.

"He's blond, giving me a childish look and my best mate." Blaise ruffled up Draco's hair.

"Watch the hair!"

Blaise laughed and looked in Sakura's direction.

"You know mate, Sakura isn't that bad. She's pretty skilled. I wonder how she'll be in bed." Blaise put his index finger on his chin and looked up toward the ceiling pretending to be fantasizing about it.

"As if. Look I don't wanna hear about your sexual escapades." Draco shuddered at the thought of his best mate and her going at it like rabbits.

"C'mon, you know you wanna tap that. She got the looks, breasts, booty and a sexy figure." Blaise said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I just lost my appetite."

"Aw c'mon Drake, you know you want it."

"Like I'll want Granger." He replied sarcastically.

"She might be good too."

Draco threw his hands in the air. He furiously ate his food.

'You and Sakura don't realize you guys have more in common than you think.' Blaise shook his head.

Sakura

Sakura stared off into space eating very little. The past she thought she'd locked away in a deep corner of her heart, slowly started returning.

"You okay, Sakura?" Choney asked concerned.

"Of course. I'm just exhausted I guess."

Dinner disappeared and prefects motioned for them to follow for everyone to go to their common rooms.

"Ms. Croft, come with me." McGonagall motioned for her to come over.

"Talk to ya later, Choney" and gave him a wink.

Choney nodded, knowing Sakura wanted him to follow. Professor McGonagall quickly led her to one of the many towers Hogwarts had. They arrived at a portrait of a woman in an elegant Egyptian dress sitting on a throne.

"Nefertiti…" she gasped.

"Hello, my child."

"The password is Amun-Ra but you can it if you'd like." And professor McGonagall eagerly descended the tower. Choney came out of his hiding place.

"Password?" Nefertiti asked.

"Amun-Ra." And the portrait door opened.

The room was almost a facsimile of her bedroom excluding the long hallway and kitchen.

"Nice room." Choney made himself comfortable on the couch which was conveniently next to the fireplace. "Ok girl, spill"

A/N: Wow, I really like this. With Sakura and Choney, they haven't seen each other since they parted ways during the time they were supposed to go to Hogwarts. Next chapter is going to be about Sakura and Choney bonding time. Ja ne! Till next time! Plz review. Wish me luck on getting my permit! And surviving my junior year since I practically got almost all honors and AP classes. Thanks to my amazing beta mandamedieval! Luv ya!
