Summary:

It's Year Five for Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and they have a new mystery on their hands: Cho Chang. Cho seems to be an extremely powerful witch (she's the world's only Sorcerer-witch hybrid) with many secrets that come from her mysterious past. She is so powerful that she alone reconstructed the magical barrier that protects Hogwarts. So far the trio has discovered that Cedric Diggory was her cousin, she shares a link with Draco Malfoy, and that the Dark Lord attacked her and her family during the summer. Voldermort has been hounding her to join his side, she shares a past with Harry (unfortunately he doesn't remember), and she harbors some kind of grudge against the DADA professor, Eriol Hiiragizawa, aka Eli Moon.

During Winter Break, a dark-haired, green-eyed girl with a jade pendant adds to the mystery. There is speculation that she is Rose Potter, Harry's secret younger sister. Cho and Ginny actually know her to be Hisui Li, the daughter of Sakura Avalon who helped Harry defeat Voldemort for the first time as a child. (The girls aren't telling, but Hermione can tell something's up.) Unfortunately, the girl is unconscious. Luckily, there is a guardian beast that remains at her side- a little baby phoenix named Marvel. Hopefully, under the watchful care of prefects Hermione and Cho, "Jade" will soon wake up.

Then comes Eli Chang, Cho's older twin brother. (Even though he's twelve hours older, he likes to call Cho onee-san.) He's hopelessly in love with Jade and was devastated when he thought she died when the Dark Lord attacked during the summer. Eli (is it odd that Cho's brother shares the same name as Eriol's English alias?) looks like a younger version of Professor Moon, the only difference is Eli has violet eyes. With him he brought Chelsea and Zachary Tereda, who were recently attacked by Voldemort and were old friends of Harry. Eli confronted Cho about her dark past, which was tainted by the death of Lily Evans. Cho was forced to face the memories she had Sakura bury so long ago, and fell into a fever doing so. Zachary, who is a doctor, is helping her recover.

Eli tells Harry and the others of the existence of Sorcerers, a different group of magic users who are a lot more powerful than wizards and wizard based sorcerers. (See the difference of capitalization?) Although there are laws forbidding any contact between the Sorcerer and Wizarding Society, no one really follows them. Sorcerers like Eriol Hiiragizawa and Xiefa Li have infiltrated the Wizarding World.

Meanwhile, Sakura, Syaoran, and Xiaolang (Jr.) Li are hiding in the abandoned Godric's Hallow, which is located very near the mansion that used to belong to Eriol. People like Tomoyo, Meiling, and Cho are not aware they survived Voldemort's attack. Xiaolang, however, contacted his girlfriend Ginny and gave her a premonition.

At same time, Eriol has found himself in the company of three women: Eve (Malfoy), Chloe (Granger), and Jennie (Potter). After learning that his wife was in Godric's Hallow that fateful Halloween night, he fears Tomoyo may have died. Intending to return to the mansion he turned over to Kaho to get some answers, he was distracted by three blue-eyed girls. These women were friends of Meiling and were sent by Arabella Figg to keep Eriol away from the truth as long as possible.

Lastly, young ten-year-old Ying Fa (Cho's former self) has arrived from the past. With no control over her telepathic powers, Harry inadvertently shows Ying Fa of Cedric's death. The transition goes both ways, and the trio finds out the Chang twins were adopted. Eli tries to carefully mediate the information traveling between past and present, but Harry still learns that Ying Fa had seen a horrific premonition when she was three.

The premonition was of Harry's death.

Author's Note: In this story, Harry first defeated Voldermort when he was three. This is important because in Harry Potter-verse, Harry defeated Voldermort when he was one. I had to tweak this fact a little because I needed to give Harry some time to actually have a past with Cho. If he met Cho when he was one years old, not much could have happened, and I would have no story. Enjoy! -

Chapter 11: Getting Back On Track

DISCLAIMER: Card Captor Sakura is owned by CLAMP. Harry Potter is owned by J.K. Rowling. Star Wish owns nothing.

A thirteen-year-old Cedric Diggory paced the length of a room. He was very worried. "Cho, where are you?"

The room Cedric walk back and forth in definitely was not his room. It was a girl's room, with a flower bedspread and an ornate mirror and dresser. Although the shelves along the wall were cluttered with martial arts weapons, it was definitely not Cedric's room.

A knock came at the door and Cedric nearly jumped to open it. As Cedric was disappointed to see a ten-year-old Eli, the front of the girl's door said "Ying Fa" in Chinese letters. "Oh, it's you, Eli."

Eli raised an eyebrow. He was going to ask what his cousin was doing in his sister's room but thought the better of it. He raised the dinner tray in his hands. "I'm bringing Cho's dinner." He glanced at the empty bed. "Where is she?"

Cedric relieved Eli of the dinner tray. "She's taking a bath. She felt hot and sticky from staying sick in bed," he lied. "I'll make sure she eats this."

Eli nodded skeptically. Remembering, Eli took out a letter from his pocket and gave it Cedric. Cedric stared at the letter. Eli said softly, "Make sure you tell her she doesn't have to go yet." Cedric nodded.

As he left, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. Sinking into a chair, Cedric groaned. "He's going to kill me when he finds out Cho went to the future."

Then there was a flash of gold, and ten year old Ying Fa tumbled out of the portal. Cedric stood up quickly to catch her. Regaining her senses, Ying Fa raised her head. When she realized it was Cedric, she burst into tears.

Startled, Cedric tried to sooth her. "Cho! Shh, it'll be all right."

Ying Fa shook her head, knowing the awful truth that would come true years later. She hugged him tightly. "I want you to be happy."

"What?"

Ying Fa took a deep breath and wore a determined look. "I am going to make sure you're happy. I'll do whatever you ask of me, I'll grant any wish…" Suddenly she broke out of the embrace and walked to the table with the dinner tray. She removed the letter and looked seriously at Cedric.

"I promise I'll stay at your side until the very end."

The letter bore the insignia of a H and four animals. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…

The three fifth-year students managed to find their way back to their dorm, but they still felt a heavy burden as they seated themselves along the fireplace.

Ron choked out, "She was three."

Hermione nodded. "Even though the premonition was incorrect, she shouldn't have seen it."

The two looked at their best friend, whose eyes were still glazed. Ron waved a hand in front of his face. "Harry. Harry!"

Hermione grabbed his arm. "Ron! This is about the girl he likes. She's been carrying a burden like this, and it's all because of him! Let him sort things out."

Harry shook his head. "No. It's just… Ying Fa knew me so well. If she was really affected by the premonition when she was three, she must have known me at that age. So, I'm wondering… why don't I remember her?"

"Xiaolang, Eli, I want you two to watch."

It was summer in a green pasture, and Kaho Mizuki had taken the two young boys for a lesson. There was a bow in her hand, and on the other side of the field was three targets. At the first target, Kaho shot seven arrows, one after the other.

All seven arrows landed in a small cluster in the same area- but it wasn't the bull's eye.

Xiaolang and Eli looked at Kaho in confusion. Wasn't the point of archery to aim at the bull's eye? Kaho smiled wanly. "You see this? They all land in the same area, although it's not the correct area."

"This is what your premonitions are, Xiaolang. They are arrows in a small cluster outside of the center. You have the precision and skill to hit the same area, but you don't have the accuracy to hit the bull's eye. Although your premonitions do have some components of what will come, it will never be absolutely correct."

Kaho stood again and aimed another seven arrows into the second target. This time, the arrows had landed in the small circle of the bull's eye, but each hit a different point of the red circle. Not one managed to hit the very center.

"This target is what your premonitions are, Eli. You hit the intended area, but the area is so vague you hit different points. You have the accuracy to hit the bull's eye, but you don't have the precision to hit the same point every time. Although your vague premonitions will come true, it will never be clear enough for you to understand what will really happen."

Kaho positioned her bow and arrow to the last target. "This target is the future." She released the arrow and it hit dead center.

"There can only be one future." The second arrow went straight through the first arrow, splitting it in half, and landed also dead center.

"Even though the future fluctuates because of every choice someone makes-" Two more arrows followed same course, each shredding the previous arrow to reach the point.

"-there is only one future that will become the present and flow into the past." Arrows four and five were destroyed by arrows five and six, respectively.

Kaho looked sternly at the two young Seers. "Your job is to know what the future will be, despite the flaws in your powers." She released the last arrow as she held the gaze of the boys.

The seventh arrow went completely though the center, leaving a small hole in the target.

Eli leaned on the doorjamb as he watched his young sister breathe in and out. In that field, Kaho was the first who clearly explained what the difference in the two cousin seers were. Perhaps it was because Kaho was a seer herself, but everything she said that day made sense.

Eli understood that day Xiaolang would always carry the heavier burden.

Sure, Eli had his share of terrifying premonitions, but the scenes where always vague that it was only the idea that was terrifying. Xiaolang, on the other hand, had to see the sequence of pictures that were terrors themselves. It would not only be the idea that would make him sick to the stomach, but it would also be the how it happened.

Eli would see blood, a body, and the ruined house and know someone died. Xiaolang would see the person, struggling to fight and protect the home, only to be hit in the chest with a killing blow and fall to the ground as the blood gathers in a puddle around the dead. Xiaolang wouldn't just know someone had died, he would feel it.

Eli walked to Cho's bed, watching her sleep. He tucked a wisp of her hair behind an ear.

And when Cho reached into Xiaolang mind to ease the pain that made the boy's heart rip to pieces, she touched a part of that pain. It granted her a glimpse. Even though Xiaolang would see more horrors, it was the one horror that returned for Cho again and again. It was the nightmare that made Cho beg to forget, to forget that she had a dear friend whose mother was kind and father was happy.

Eli certainly didn't like seeing his sister this way. He wanted to protect her from all the nightmares that came and all the nightmares that will come. He wanted to take her stupid, messed up destiny and take it upon himself to fulfill it. He wanted her to smile again.

Eli brushed a light kiss on her temple, and wished her sweet dreams.

Tomoyo Daidouji Hiiragizawa beamed as she saw a familiar face in the crowd. She ran to reach the other person through the busy airport terminal, but someone got there first.

"Haley!" Nakuru Akizuki jumped on the young girl and hugged her tightly. "It's been ages!"

Haley was an orphan who Tomoyo sponsored to take care of. Since Tomoyo inherited both her mother and husband's company, she turned her attention on the community. Both the Daidouji and Hiiragizawa name helped children like Haley around the world.

Tomoyo rolled her eyes at her guardian's actions but joined in the hug anyway. Over the last five years, Haley had become a sort of surrogate daughter. Although Haley was legally adopted by another family, Tomoyo still felt like a mother figure.

Haley grinned. "Hey, Miss Ruby, Mrs. H." She glanced around. "Miss Madison isn't coming?"

Tomoyo and Nakuru exchanged a secret glance. "Madison's coming later," Nakuru reassured her. "But we're here to celebrate your first year in college! We need to party!" The brunette pumped a fist into the air excitedly.

Tomoyo smiled, amused. As Nakuru nearly dragged Haley out of the terminal, Tomoyo followed closely. From her handbag, Spinel popped his head out. "Are you sure you're all right, Tomoyo-sama?"

Tomoyo sighed for the umpteenth time. "Yes, Spinel. Please stop asking."

"But that dream you had on the plane-"

"It was just that. A dream. I missed Eriol, and I dreamed about him."

"Maybe it could have been-"

Tomoyo slipped off the handbag and gave it to Nakuru. Taking advantage of Nakuru's surprise, Tomoyo took the seat next to Haley in the cab.

Nakuru raised an eyebrow to Spinel, who gave a shrug. "I don't think Tomoyo-sama knows Eriol-sama is in the same country."

"I don't think she cares."

"Oh, she cares," Nakuru disagreed, opening the passenger side of the cab. "But she's buried Eriol-sama in her mind for 16 years, and now the children are more important." Spinel sighed as he disappeared back into the bag.

"1354 Seventh Avenue, please," Nakuru told the driver.

"Eli! Hello, earth to Eli! Eli!" Jennie made a huff of irritation when Eriol didn't turn. She yelled into his ear: "ELI!"

Eriol jumped at the sound. When he realized that it was Jennie, he said annoyed, "What? You didn't have to yell."

Jennie glared back. "I called and called many times." She stole the cup right from his hand. "What is this? Are you drinking? Are you drinking alcohol while you be Mr. Broody-pants?"

Eve wryly grinned. "The man's in a four star hotel and he prefers to drink and stare at this fantastic view." Eve gave a little happy sigh as she looked at the little twinkle of lights in the city below. "But no longer!" Eve pulled the curtains shut as Jennie returned the bottles to the fridge.

Chloe pulled Eriol out of his chair. "You know, any other man would love to have three women to himself."

"I'm married!" Eriol hotly said. "I'm not interested!"

Eve snorted. "You insult me. I'm not remotely attracted to broody people like you."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "You're staying in an extremely expensive hotel for free. Just because we invited some stranger to join us doesn't mean we're going to let you brood in your room and ruin our mood of happiness."

Jennie pushed the professor out of the room. Eriol protested, but Jennie smirked. "Uh-ah! You want to get back into that room, you're going to have to go through me first!" She waved Eriol's card key in front of him before slipping it in her back pocket. "And if you ever try to touch my rear, I'll pummel you."

"Come on," Eve said as she pulled Eriol by the arm into the elevator. "There's dish at the restaurant that you have to try. Mmm! And there's this spa, where they give a full-body massage…"

Eriol sighed in defeat as the elevator went down.

Sakura greeted her husband as he came in the door. "Junior is making dinner," she said, kissing him. "Kaho-san and Bella-san are here, but you should wash up before saying hello." Syaoran nodded, wearily handing her a leather bag.

Sakura headed to the back of the house, where a greenhouse stood. She opened the bag, which revealed a yellow freesia, still planted in the dirt. Sakura smiled. "Welcome back, my dear friend. I'm sorry if Syaoran treated you so roughly, but I'll move you into a more comfortable spot, okay?"

The little plant swayed in the wind.

Sakura reached for a small flower pot. Depositing some of the dirt from the bag into the pot, she gently moved the freesia into its new home. "There," she said, giving it some water. "Better now?"

Pleased with her work, Sakura took the flower pot and moved to a window sill. She moved the other plants on the sill so there could some space next to a dark red flower. Sakura sat the freesia next to the manju shage. "Now you're together again. You'll stay in this place for awhile, so don't fight," she said seriously to the two flowers. "This will all be over soon."

As Sakura left the greenhouse, a leaf of the manju shage brushed against the freesia petals.

Jade opened her eyes.

She frowned at the dark and bleary dreamscape. An inky blackness stretched before her, around her. Jade took a tentative step forward, cautious of her presence in her cousin's dreams. "Cho?" she whispered.

Water splashed at her feet. Jade stared at the ocean of water, and then she brushed her fingertips along the surface. It was salty.

"What are you doing!"

Jade whirled around to see a blue-white flame in the shape of an intimidating dragon. But Jade wasn't daunted, and she whispered angrily, "Get out of here, Treasure!"

Treasure, the second form of Jade's guardian, remained unruffled. It opened its mouth to speak, but Jade interrupted. "Cho's crying!" she said, gesturing at the expanse of water. "You'll frighten her, and she'll retreat further into her dreams! I'm sorry, but you need to leave!"

"Cho needs me. If I can't wake up in my body and console her, then I'll do it magically. You can't stop me, Treasure."

The guardian didn't speak, but instead shrunk in size from 20 stories tall to 20 inches. The flame diminished, and Treasure returned to her natural colors. "I will go with you."

Jade nodded. "Cho will be at the source of the water." And she ran.

Jade ran and ran until she reached the top of the mountain, where Cho sat on a rock jutting into the sky. Here, a thunderstorm showed pictures of the nightmare.

Flash. Little Harry's lifeless body. BOOM.

Flash. The Potter's ransacked house. BOOM.

A green flash cut through the sky and an evil cackle sounded.

Jade grabbed her best friend by the shoulders. "CHO!" she said, shaking her slightly. Around them, the storm ceased, but Jade hardly noticed. The blank look in Cho's eyes made her cry. Jade hugged the auburn-haired girl tightly, sobbing, "I miss them too." Cho froze for a moment, but started crying also.

In the dreamscape around them, the red glow of a sunrise appeared.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" Chelsea asked as she placed a hand on Eli's shoulder. After getting a night snack, Chelsea was walking the corridors to return to the hospital ward where her husband was. Instead, she caught sight of Eli standing in the doorway of a classroom.

"Can't sleep yet," Eli said absentmindedly, letting Chelsea's hand slide off as he walked into the room. The young Sorcerer placed a hand on one of the desks and closed his eyes.

"Eli?"

"This is his room. His presence still lingers," Eli muttered, almost angrily. "He's the DADA professor here, and Cho didn't tell me!"

"Eli!" Chelsea grabbed his hand. "What do you mean?"

Frowning, Eli tersely said, "This room belongs to Eriol Hiiragizawa."

Chelsea gasped, letting Eli go to cover her mouth. After the idea settled in her mind, she whispered, "How can you be so sure?"

"There are remnants of his aura here. Just like the traces he left in the possessions in the Li Clan Mansion." Eli exhaled as he sat in one of the seats. "Cho had to sit here and pretend he hadn't hurt her or Mother… pretend that it wasn't his fault we're like this!" Eli slammed a fist into the table.

Chelsea jumped. "Eli," she said softly. "He's your father."

Eli took a deep cleansing breath to regain composure. With a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, he said to Chelsea, "You should get some sleep, Chelsea."

Chelsea opened her mouth to protest, but Eli shook his head. "I'm going to remain awake. There's something I need to do."

The dreamscape had changed to a sunny morning on a rocky beach. Jade dipped her feet into the water as she patiently waited for Cho to speak.

Cho hugged her legs to her chest, looking vulnerable as she finally spoke. "I'm scared."

"Of what?"

Cho watched Treasure soar the bright blue sky as she considered the question. "I'm scared of waking up."

Jade nodded, listening attentively. Cho continued. "When I wake up, it means I have to face them. Nii-chan. Tomoyo. Harry… Eriol. I won't know how to act around them, now that I know.

After Sakura Oba-san sealed those memories away for me, I didn't have to… act as if I cared. I mean, I knew about the death of the Potters and my connection with Harry… but it was a very detached understanding. I thought, 'It wasn't happening to me, so I don't have to bother.' But now I know, I truly know, and it brings a pain right to my heart."

Jade smiled sadly. "It's because you feel. You can really love them now, since you are complete with all your memories. You can love them and it hurts."

Cho breathed in heavily. "When I wake up, I have to start moving. Telling Harry about everything. Telling Tomoyo and Nii-chan how much I love them. Forgiving Eriol. Fulfilling the prophecy."

Jade could feel the corners of her smile droop. "I love you," she said sadly.

Cho raised her head to look at Jade with a sad smile. "I love you too."

Minerva McGonagal watched the blond boy sleep soundly. "It's about that time," she said.
Eli stared at the twinkling sky. "It's about that time," he said aloud to himself.

He turned around to face the front of Hogwarts. Eli could feel the first flakes of snow rest on his hair as a wind picked up to billow the folds of his overcoat. Eli's hand closed around the small form of the sun key in his pocket. Filled with a sudden determination, he started to chant.

"Key that hides the forces of darkness! Show your true identity. By the covenant, I, Eriol Hiiragizawa II, command you! RELEASE!"

Eli let his dark blue aura flare and immediately received a backlash.

YOU NOT CLOW. YET YOU HOLD HIS KEY.

"No, I'm not Clow," Eli agreed. "But I am the keeper of this key. All I ask for the magic on the Towers to be dispelled."

GENERATIONS HAVE PAST. THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE TOWERS.

"Yet you contradict yourself," Eli said to Hogwarts. "You hold Clow's heir within your very walls. Where will she stay?"

This time the school didn't answer.

"Times are changing," Eli continued. "There may not be a need for the Towers now, but there will Sorcerers joining the society soon enough. I have the permission of the Headmaster. DISPELL!" Eli commanded, pointing the sun staff to the school.

The ground responded with a great shake. There was a ripple in the fabric of air. Slowly the ripple revealed four Towers at the corners of the school and a fifth tower in the very center. One by one the Towers glowed: the First Tower glowed blue, the Second Tower glimmered red, the Third was yellow, Fourth shone violet, and the Fifth Tower radiated green.

When the light receded, the five Towers looked as if they had been a part of the school all along. Eli smiled softly as the staff minimized into key size. "Thank you," he said sincerely.
