Harry Potter and the Cardcaptors

Chapter 8

Two days had passed since Harry had decided too wait and see what happened. In those two days both Filch and Snape and even some students had ended up in the hospital for causes unknown. They were of course still in there, however Madam Pomfrey had no idea what was wrong with them. The Slytherins naturally were blaming Harry for attacking their students as well as Snape, hardly any one believed them as they still remembered Harry's second year.

On the second day at breakfast Dumbledore gave a warning to the entire school too not go out after curfew. The teachers were of course going too patrol the school for the culprit to find and stop whoever it was.

The next day classes were cancelled because of the fact that most of the teachers were now in the hospital wing along with more students who never listened too the warning. Harry had now decided too investigate to try and find out who or what could be the problem. The only thing that Harry had to go on was the people had lost their energy along with their shadow. So Harry was going to get advice before going out that night and called Hermione into his trunk too speak to Kero.

"So people are getting weaker and losing their shadows in the process. Hhhhmmmm... Well it sounds like the shadow card, it has the ability to steel other peoples shadow and rob them of their life energy. Which is why they feel weak and will stay that way until they die or the shadow card has been caught."

"Wait are you saying that a card can do something like this?" Asked Hermione before Harry could say anything.

"Well yeah. There are all kinds of cards that can do many things, some are more dangerous than others. Well at least it's not one of the four element cards as they are more powerful than the others, it's just as well Harry was able hold on to one of them when he released them." Kero replied to Hermione's question.

"So are you sure that it's the Shadow card that's doing this and not another or anything else for that matter?" Harry asked just to be sure he had all the information he needed.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure. There's nothing I know of that can do that and if there is, then I was more than likely asleep when it was created there for I wouldn't know. However I still say it's a Clow card as I can sense one but its faint."

"Right we can go tonight so I can capture it. Hopefully we can do it quickly before we attracted any attention. So I say we get ready Kero." Harry said to Kero who nodded at Harry.

"Hold on what about me Harry? I'm coming with you regardless if you want me to or not, and there's nothing you can do or say that will stop me."

"I had a feeling that you would say something like that Hermione. However I could use one of the cards too keep you here and I'll take the cloak and map with me so you can't follow me."

"You won't do any such thing. I'm coming regardless if you want me to or not and besides wouldn't it be better too have an extra pair of eyes out there watching your back?"

"She does have a point Harry and plus she was there when you caught the Fly card, so she already knows about what you are doing. Well there's that and the fact that the difference between a good Cardcaptor and a great Cardcaptor is their willingness to accept help whenever they can. So why not allow Hermione too come along, you never know she might come up with things that you wouldn't even think of."

"Fine you made your point. However Hermione you will stay back and not interfere with the capture in any way got that."

"Yeah I got it Harry. Now can we make a plan and get ready?"

"Yeah."

"Good because I have some outfits that would look good on you while you're doing the catching thing. Please don't tell Lavender or Parvati about it but I do have an eye for fashion."

"Alright. Nice one Hermione. See told you she could come up with something you would never think of. If you want the cards too take you seriously then your going too have to look the part."

Harry just groaned and laid his head in his hands. They planned for the next few hours they were there, going over every possible option they could think of. Afterwards Hermione went back to her own room and came back a few minutes later holding a suit holder and gave it to Harry too put on. Harry walked into his room too change so they could then leave to find the Shadow Card.
