*~*The New Students: Chapter 1: The Letters*~*
Sakura felt the warm sunlight dance playfuly on her closed eyes. *Aww...Time to get up...* She slowly draged herself out of bed and glanced at the clock. "WHA?????? 7:30 ALREADY???? I'm sooooooo LATE!!!!" She dashed out of bed and dug around in her closet for her high school uniform. "Wahhhh!!!!I'm going to be late for school!!!! This is my last week too!!! Argh!!!" A small stuffed animal with wings slowly rubbed his eyes and sat up in Sakura's drawer.
"Sakura? *YAWN* What are you doing?" it asked in a sleepy voice.
"Kero!! I'm so late for school!!" She finally managed to get her uniform on and dashed out the door. "Bye Kero!!" He watched her run out quiziclly. *School...?*
"Oto-san!!! I need food!!!" Her father and brother, who were sitting casually in the living room, looked up at her simulataniously.
"Hm? Why do you need food so desperatly?" her father questioned. Sakura was astonished.
"Doshite? DOSHITE? I'm late for school!!!!!" she exclaimed. Her brother, Toya, started laughing hystericly. "Nani!!! What are you laughing at?????? Toya no baka!!!" she shouted. Toya continued to laugh. Her father chuckled slightly. Sakura stared at them both. "Eh..? Nani? What have I missed this time....?" Her father turned to her.
"It's saturday honey." Sakura did a classic anime fall.
"It's...it's...Saturday!!!! Not again!!!" He father chuckled for a few more seconds and then suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, musume! I forgot. Here." He handed her a yellow envelope. "This came for you yesterday. I forgot to give it to you." She stared at it. It looked like thick parchement. Her name and address was handwritten on the front in emerald green ink. *Hmm...This is a strange letter.* She turned it around and saw that it was sealed with an unusual seal. There was a snake, lion, badger and a eagle, all around a yellow "H". She slowly opened the envelope and looked at its contents.
*~*~*~*
Fifteen year old Sakura Kinomoto walked down the street to her friend, Tomoyo's house. She was still looking at the weird letter. *I wonder if anyone else got this letter..* She rang the doorbell and waited. A dark-haired girl answered it.
"Sakura!!! Yay!! Come in!!" Sakura shook her hands.
"Iie! I just want to talk. Come with me to the park, dozo?" Tomoyo nodded.
"Hai! Just let me tell my okaa-san, hai?" Sakura nodded. Kero poped his little head out from her pocket.
"You going to talk to her about the letter?" She nodded.
"Maybe she got one too. Kero, have you ever heard of this school, Hogwarts?" Kero crossed his arms and his brow furrowed.
"I remember hearing it somewhere. Darn! I just can't remember where though!!" Sakura smiled sweetly.
"It's ok Kero. I guess I am just going to have to fimd out, huh?"
"Konnichi wa!! I'm back! Let's go!" Tomoyo and Sakura walked to the park, discussing the strange letter.
*~*~*~*
Sakura swayed back and forth slowly on the swings, waiting for Tomoyo to finish reading the letter. She looked up at her friend. "Wow. They gave you plane tickets and everything! It seems like you really are going Sakura!" She nodded.
"I talked to my dad about it. He said it was alright. I could go. He said it would be," she put on a sarcastic voice, "'a great experiance for me!' Sheesh. But I don't want to be alone! What if I am the only Japanese girl there!! I mean, the school is in London! I don't even speak very good English!!!" Tomoyo started to read the letter aloud.

"You got one too?" Li Syaoran had appereared. He was clutching the same letter in his hands. His amber eyes flashed tward the letter Tomoyo was holding. Sakura's face lit up.
"You are going too??? Yay!!!" She jumped off the swings and hugged a very red Li. "I won't be alone!"
"I-I-I um....y-yah I'm g-g-g-oing too..." Tomoyo laughed. She whispered quietly in Li's ear so that Sakura wouldn't hear.
"You stilll go red around her, huh?" This just made Syaoran blush harder. He walked over to Sakura.
"Do-do you know any english? We are going to London anyway." Sakura shook her head saddly.
"Iie. I don't know much. Hey! Maybe you could teach me, Syaoran! Can you?" He smiled back at her. (woh Syaoran smiling?? Only for Sakura...^-^)
"Sure. We need to start right away. I don't know how much you are going to learn in only three months." Sakura sighed.
"I forgot that I had to learn things to understand english..."
"Well, it will be good for you, Sakura." Kero said. She nodded and they all walked off to Li's house.
*~*Three Months Later*~*
Sakura had learned much from Li about the english language. He was surprized at how much she had learned in only three months. They had also learned that their friend, Eriol, had also gotten a letter and would be going with them to London. Tomoyo made Sakura promise that she would write often so that she could hear all about Hogwarts.
"Oh! I wish I could come!!! Darn it!" Sakura laughed.
"I wish you could too."
"Hey! Let's get going! They called our plane already!!" She hugged her best friend in the world and said goodbye. Kero popped out of her carry-on bag.
"K-Kero?? What are you doing in there??"
"I couldn't let my mistress go on a trip to some unknown land without at least one of her guardian beasts to protect her!"
She laughed.
"Fine! Just keep quiet. I don't want any funny looks from people..." She noticed a small group of people staring at her. "NANI???? What are you looking at???" She ran tward the gate, blushing deeply. After she had gotten herself seated and comfortable, the plane started to move. "London, here we come!!"
Half a world away, Harry Potter had a strange dream.
*~*~*~*~*~~~~Ending the first chapter with a cliffhanger is good, right? Teehee. Well, anyway. Don't forget to review! Next chapter will be called "The Dream" or something like that. You better get ready!
