Summary: CCSHP A new year has started as six foreign guests are invited to stay at the Headmaster's wish. Everything changes with their coming and will the four diverse houses learn to finally get along as the new guests case a shift in the tide?
" Hi Harry, Ron, Hermione!" greeted a cheerful voice.
They turned around to see a red headed girl coming toward them. " Hi Ginny. Didn't see you on the train, what happened?" asked Ron.
" Oh, I was in a different compartment with Luna, Neville and a couple of my other friends. Sorry I worried you there bro, I just couldn't find you all! Besides, I found something really interesting," said Ginny.
" What?" asked Hermione.
" Word on the train is that Dumbledore has a big surprise for us. Don't know what it is though, but it's big from what I've heard," whispered Ginny. " Got to go now!"
" Thanks Ginny. See you later," Harry called before Ginny disappeared from sight. " What do you think that 'surprise' is?"
" Maybe it's something good. Hopefully, not something like Umbridge again," shuddered Ron.
The rest nodded as they made there way to the Great Hall, seating themselves in the Gryffindor table, greeting old friends and talking about their summers.
There were four houses at Hogwarts, the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors and Slytherins, each with its own table. Ravenclaws were the brightest and wisest of all the students, while Hufflepuffs were kind and loyal. Gryffindors were bold, brave and kind while Slytherins were shrewd, sly and powerful.
The tables were all the same, the students speaking of their summers and the occational student gossiping to one another. It would have been wonderful for Harry and his friends, excepts for the Slytherin table, who were throwing harsh glances and glares and anyone who they detested, namely everyone. At the front of the room was the Head Table, teachers there talking about potions, spells, students and the big 'surprise' the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore was speaking of before, who was nowhere to be seen.
As usual, the potions master, Professer Snape was glaring at everyone, greasy hair shining in the candlelight of the hall, saving his most heated and harshest glare for Harry Potter. Professers Flickwick and Sprout were talking lively about something while Professer Trelawney, draped in shawls beads, was looking through a glass orb, which Harry guessed, was fake and pointless to even use. Professer McGonagall was standing near the table, readying the hat and speaking to ghosts floating by.
" Where do ya think Dumbledore is? He's usually here by now," wondered Dean Thomas.
" Think he might be taking care of the 'surprise' everyone's talking 'bout," answered Seamus Finnigan. The rest nodded as their attention was called by a stern looking McGonagall. The soon-to-be-sorted-first-years came in. They looked very nervous, eyes darting everywhere to see if what they heard about Hogwarts was true.
Their faces in awe and shock, the Sorting Hat burst into song. McGonagall read each name off by a large scroll, the Sorting Hat taking its time to sort them each by each. Each time one was called and a house name called next, the table called cheered. Harry was feeling a bit strange as he watched Cho Chang cheer and welcome the newcomers. He felt a little envious. Wasn't he over her already? One part of himself did indead feel envious but another part of himself felt that he'd get over it, and someone else would come in her place. He felt secure when that feeling came, it made him feel good about himself.
The sorting ended and
still, Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen. Everyone, even some of the
Slytherins, looked worried, the teachers also. Their attantion was
called again when the door opened, Dumbledore walking in calmly. He
stopped at his seat, raising his arms as to hug everyone. "
Welcome all, to another year of Hogwarts. I am deeply sorry for my
absence, I had tasks to complete that just couldn't wait. They are
complete now, don't worry," from that time, Harry could see a
twinkle in his eyes. " Now, if you could wait a bit and listen
to this old man's babble, I would appreciate it. First off, our
caretaker, Mr. Filch, has added a total of 89 more items to the list,
anyone wishing to see it shall be outside his office. The Forbidden
Forest is once again, forbidden," eyeing at a certain trio at
the Gryffindor table.
" Now, if you all heard, yes, I do have a
grand surprise for all of you! It is certainly grand indead. Not even
the Ministry of Magic has seen them! May I present, our special
guests, the delegates of Asia!"
Everyone gasped. Wizards and witches from Asia was always thought to be a myth. Even Draco Malfoy was shocked. His father was tight wih the Ministry and even they couldn't contact the Magical Community of Asia, so they thought they were a myth, Asia never having magic or any magical beings. They could not deny it though, for they knew the rumors of Asia and their powerful beings, one of them being Clow Reed, a man thought to be more powerful than Dumbledore!
The teachers stared with wide eyes, the students as well, as the doors opened slowly, six figures appearing. Before the door finished opening, the students were standing or leaning over to catch a glimps of the delegates. And with shock, they figured that the six must be the age of the sixth years!
The first figure was that of an elegant, graceful girl. She had long raven hair, amethyst eyes and a lean figure. She smiled brightly and walked forward gracefully, as if she were a crane.
Beside her was a young man, with glasses and neat, blueish hair. His eyes sparkled with intellect and a twinkle that sparkled mischivously. He walked beside the girl, whispering to the girl quietly and winked to a few girls as he glided pass the sea of curious students.
The third figure was a girl. She had long auburn hair and stunning emerald eyes. Her figure was perfect, many of the boys noticing it also, as was her face which was colored with cheerfulness and joy. She looked as if she were bouncing her way, her cheerful smile melting many hearts.
The boy next to her was at least a head taller than her and very protective looking, glaring at anyone who was staring at his companion with too much interest. He had cold amber eyes and messy chestnut hair with a well toned figure that screamed that he trained day in and out. Everyone under his gaze figured that his glare rivaled that of Snape's, winning even.
The next firgure was interesting to say the least. She was a girl, obviously, with a lean, thin figure that much of the male students eyed at and an evenly tanned face. Her hair was obviously black and tied in a loose ponytail and two locks fel to frame her face but the rest was hidden in her cloak. Her face was emotionless, and eyes were a deep pool of ocean blue, full of wisdom and understanding. She glided calmly after the others.
Her companion was a girl, looking a lot like her. She had long raven hair, tied in two buns on the top of her head and the rest fell down to her waist. She had fiery ruby eyes, exactly opposite of the girl beside her, and tanned skin also, but lighter and a grinning face. She strode confidently after the girl with blue eyes.
The six made their way to the teacher's table, bowing in front of Dumbledore. " Welcome. I see you're on time," greeted Dumbledore, chuckling
" We're only late because of the baka freak here who made us take the long way," growled the chestnut haired boy.
" Tsk, tsk. It's not polite to say such harsh words now, cute little desendent. I only made you go the long way because we had to pick up a few things up, did we not?" the blue haired boy said.
" Very well then, I did not introduce you all. Have your fun," chuckled Dumbledore as Eriol smiled evily.
Facing toward all of the confused students, Eriol replaced his evil smile with his 'Don't-I-look-kind' smile. " I am Eriol Hiiragizawa, from Japan, originated from England." The female population sighed and giggled, nearly all of them agreeing that he was very, very handsome.
His companion was next. " I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, also from Japan," she stated, smiling. The male population stared at her, wide-eyed and the females glared at her.
" I'm Sakura Kinomoto! I live in Japan," the emerald eyed girl said next. She smiled happily and many of the boys started to drool. The girls merely scoffed.
The chestnut haired boy went up next, glaring at anyone who dared look at Sakura. Many froze under his gaze. " I'm Syaoran Li, call me Li, of China, Li Clan to be exact." Everyone gasped. They heard rumors of China, sure, but the Li Clan was the biggest. The rumors were that they were so powerful, everyone in Asia treated them like monarchs. Others said that they owned all of China, while others merely said that they were like the Malfoys, arragont and rude.
" Nee, Syao-kun, you forgot something," said Sakura, hitting him playfully on the arm.
Syaoran looked at her lovingly. Many of the males glared at him while the girls looked rejected. " Fine. I'm also the future leader of the Li Clan."
The crowd gasped again, braking out into whispers, but stopped once when the last remaining girls, the one with the more tanned face, stepped up. " I am Railin Li, also part of the Li Clan."
The other girl stepped up next to her. " I'm Meiling Li, also part of the Li Clan."
The two flipped backwards, folding their arms and faced the opposite directions, back to back. " We're the Li Twins," they stated together.
" I'm the younger twin, she's the older twin," Meiling said, pointing to Railin. " We're fraternal twins."
" And for those of you who had lower IQ's, that means that we don't look the same," Railin said dryly.
" We're the Li Twins, the Royal Fighters of the Li. We protect out leader, so any of you who try to hurt him, you'd better hope we don't find you!" they stated together, moving so that they are next to each other, glaring at anyone in the hall.
Everyone was shocked, how could they be like body guards when they were 16? One single person seemed to think the threat was that of a joke. " Yeah, what can you do?" a boy shouted from the Slytherin table. many of the other students nodded as if to agree with him.
The Li's looked at each other, smirking at the same time. All six took off their cloaks, dropping them on the floor, revealing the strangest clothes the students have ever seen in their lives.
Eriol was dressed in his Clow robes ( Blue, gold trims and suns? Ring a bell? ). Tomoyo's were close to his only purple and decorated with flowers and birds. Sakura's robes were pink, a pink form fitting shirt and a knee length shirt, all decorated with cherry blossoms. Syaoran's were basicly green robes, decorated with a gold trim, Meiling also in her robes, a oce piece fighting suit, a white shirt and a long tube top that reached down to her thighs ( if you don't know what they look like, check online please ). Railin's was nothing like Meilings, more like Eriol's. She was dressed in a form fitting blue suit, reaching down to the waist until it belled out like a dress, only cut in the middle which revealed a pair of tight shorts-like pants that ended at her knees. Her sleeves were as long as Meiling's and tightened at her elbows. Everything was blue, a shade lighter than Eriol's, but with a golden trim and a Yin and Yang symbol on her back.
Eriol, Sakura and Tomoyo sat down, saying things like 'Go easy on then' or 'Come on and show them what we're made of!' The three Li's nodded and stared at the direction of the doors, then turned around and nodded as the faced each other and turned to face the teacher's table. Syaoran was in the middle of the twins, Railin on the left, Meiling on the right. They began doing backflips, cartwheels and round-offs, Syaoran doing a different routine as the twins who mirrored each other's moves perfectly. They ended their moves on the free space in the end of the hall, in front of the doors. They began new moves, ones that the students never saw in their life.
Syaoran started to make the ground rise in pillars, three in total. The center pillar was the tallest, the one on the left side was about half a foot shorter than it while the one of the right was about a foot shorter than it. Meiling jumping up in front of the rock pillars and dropped down, landing down on her hands and set them on fire from the bottom, rising to only half the height of the pillars. Railin lifted her arms, and a wind appeared, moving the fire around, while Syaoran jumped up on the top most pillar, a large looking dragon appeared behind him, made of dirt and rocks. He fell into a stance and moved boldly on the pillar. A large clump of dirt and stone was lifted up from the ground, shaping itself and hardening into a large coin, and floated above his head, spinning slowly.
Meiling jumped onto the third pillar, which happened to be lowest, a firey dragon appearing behind her. She pointed toward the stone and the dragon set a stream of fire at it, engulfing it with fiery flames. It did nothing except make it look on fire. Railin jumped up last, making a stance also as a large dragon appeared behind her, its body swirling like a whirlwind.
Railin seemed to guide the wind as it blasted through the dirt, making it into a chinese symbol, below it spelled something the students could not make out. Twirling and falling to another stance, a steady stream of water appeared from behind the girl, hitting the large stone. It cleared up and the flames were now green, the symbol was tinted yellow and the edges of the stone was tinted a gold, the symbol was visible and as the words cleared, the three stood into a stern stance. A final dragon appeared, this time made of water and layed at the center of the pillars as the three previous dragons swirled around them. The students could finally see the words, which read what the trio yelled that second. " LI!"
The students and teachers clapped, all in awe. That was a very interesting display of power. When Harry looked at the Slytherin table, Malfoy appeared to accept them, all very powerful in influence and magically. He really hoped that they wouldn't be like a Slytherin, but, seeing those smiling faces and proud looks, he had nothing to worry about.
All the pillars, dragons
and stone disappeared, the trio made their way down the hall, people
clapping and saying things like 'That was awesome' or 'You guys are
cool' and the most popular one was 'Sit with us!' They, at last,
reached their friends, each cheering for them.
" Well, you
managed to shock the student body out of their asses and pants!"
said Eriol, with a laugh.
" Yeah, well, don't we always? Oh wait, I'm sorry, that was making them fall on the floor and drool!" replied Railin in cantonese. She didn't look nor sound that happy about showing off her powers.
The others looked at each other, then back at Railin. " Yes," they replied seriously, then couldn't take it anymore. They started the laugh, hard. The students and teachers, excluding Dumbledore, looked confused. Why were they laughing? They began leaning against each other to stop from falling from the floor. Syaoran just chuckled, putting a hand on her shoulder, he stopped a little, although a small smile was on his face. " Still a little upset about showing off your powers? You do know that you have to continue with the showing off until I retire, right?"
" I know," she said in cantonese with a twitch and a little anger. " And until you do, the male population of the world enjoys staring at places where they shouldn't look!"
The others started to laugh even more, seeing Railin and her face. Finally cooling down, they gathered themselves up. " Well, now that our guests have settled down with their laughs, you may begin your feast. Our guests are free to choose where they sit," said Dumbledore.
At that word, the tables began shouting for the guests to sit at their table, with the exceptions of the Slytherins. They weren't stupid. They knew that they'd sit with the other tables and ignore them, having heard the rumors of them being 'evil' and 'Dark Lord supporters'. Since the summer, Harry and his friends have noted that the Slytherins were a bit more quiet and less smug.
The Asians looked around the hall, each chosing a table they wanted. Syaoran and Sakura looked around and spotted the Lion's table, making themselves to the Gryffindor table, and being welcomed immediatly. Eriol and Tomoyo chose a spot with the Ravenclaws, leaving Railin and Meiling, everyone expecting the two to seat themselves at the Hufflepuff. Everyone dropped their forks, spoons and knives when the saw Railin.
" I know, okay. I have long hair, it's not grown by magic and please," started Railin in English, but then said in cantonese, " shut up and eat. I'm not that interesting, am I?" Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo and Meiling started laughing, Railin just ignoring them as she rolled her eyes. She ignored the looks she got as made her way to the Snake House, the Slytherins staring at her before they welcomed her hesidently.
Meiling appeared behind her and started talking in cantonese. " I'm going to go to the Hufflepuff table, okay?"
Railin smirked and answered in her home language also. " Now that wouldn't be because of a certain group of people would it?" said Railin slyly, talking about a certain team in Hufflepuff, most of the players being boys.
Meiling reddened. " Yes," she said simply in English, and began walking to the Hufflepuffs. She was greeted warmly by everyone there, including the Quidditch team.
( Okay, to increase some of the more, uhhh, interesting emotions in this story, I'm going to make Cedric alive, to, um, do stuff in the later part of the story. Trust me, I don't want to mess up the story but um, let's just say that it's going to be very interesting in the middle of the story. Sorry to those who wanted Cedric dead, okay, that sounds weird.)
" Why'd your twin go to the bloody Hufflepuffs?" asked Pansy.
" She does what she does. You can't really make anyone do anything, it'll end badly, trust me," replied Railin, as she cut a small piece of her steak and ate it.
" Why'd you come here?" asked a random Slytherin.
Railin turned to face
him. " I'm not stupid. I didn't feel like going to the
Gryffindor table, the Ravenclaw table would mean Tomoyo talking to me
about clothes and the Hufflepuff table would mean a full night of
Meiling, which I get enough of in China," she remarked dryly.
"
Besides, I feel more comfortable here than the other tables. Or as
Meiling would say, I feel like it."
A couple of Slytherins chuckled. " What do you mean by more comfortable here?" asked another Slytherin.
Railin smirked, many in awe at how Slytherin she was like. " Again, I'm not stupid. I can already see that this house is dark, I feel more at home near darker places than what you might call light."
" So your saying that your a vampire?" stated Draco, amused. A few laughed, Railin included.
" No. You've heard of the philosophy, Yin and Yang?" she said, quirking an eyebrow up. They nodded. " Well, I use darker magics, as in the elements that are darker, like water. I was born with darker magics so I am generally more at home in darker places, unlike Meiling who enjoys the company of lighter places."
A Slytherin was very angry and envious of how much attention the forigner was getting. He started to say insults to everyone around him and then, out loud. " I bet that they just have that much power because they drink enhancing potions everyday. I bet that those Li's are just weaklings and they aren't even as powerful as squibs!"
Three pairs of ears picked up what he had said, as two other Slytherins joined him in the insults. It took total will power to stop from jumping up and beating the stuffing out of the certain three Slytherins. Railin shot Meiling and Syaoran a look and they nodded. Railin got up from her seat and all those who heard the insults, everyone in short, stopped talking immediatly.
" Excuse me, but may I ask, what did you say before?" asked Railin polietly.
" I said your weaklings, or are you too stupid to understand what I'm talking about?" mocked the first Slytherin. His cmpanions laughed along with him.
Railin raised a brow, anger perfectly controlled. " And your name is?"
" Luigi McLare," he answered.
Railin shifted her head over to the younger boy beside him. " Marco McLare."
The girl beside Luigi smirked. " Cameo Luran."
" Yes, well, if I may ask, why do speak us harm if we did nothing to you?" asked Railin.
" I'm just speaking the truth. Asian witches and wizards and stupid weaklings. I bet your all squibs. I can beat you all hands down!"
The three were suddenly raised from their seats. Looking behind them, they saw the three Li's, looking calm but a glint of anger in their eyes. " Like Railin mentioned, we did nothing to harm you, so shut up and eat," growled out Syaoran.
" Please, your all just angry because Luigi's telling the truth. You're all weaklings. How many times do we have to tell you?" answered Cameo.
They had enough, each grabbing a Slytherin by the neck collar, the glared at the same time. Bringing them to the center of the room, the stated a phrase in the same time. Seeing the confused looks on their faced, they smirked.
" In case you don't know, that means that since you insulted a Li, we have right to duel you, winner gets to do anything they please to the loser," whispered Railin calmly.
" Albus, they can't be serious!" gasped McGonagall from the Head Table.
" I'm afraid they are correct, they dishonored and insulted a Li. They are a proud people, strong and brave. Insulting them could be death," Dumbledore replied.
Meiling raised a platform in the middle of the Great Hall. The students stared at the six with looks of shock and awe. " Let's go! Duel!"
