Chapter one
"Do you understand your mission?" asked the head of the Sorcerers Committee. He looked no older than 20, but as they say, looks can be deceiving.
"Hai. Dumbledore-san has already agreed to put us in." said a young 16 year old with honey auburn coloured hair, and bright emerald green eyes her name Sakura Kinomoto. She bowed to the sorcerers and sorceresses in front of her, as did the five next to her, and they left.
"Sakura-chan, do you think it was a good idea for volunteering for this? I mean Warui-san is very powerful, I don't think we could beat him at his own game, especially now that he joined side with another sorcerer." Said a female the age of 16 with long silky lavender coloured hair and light purple-blue eyes her name Tomoyo Daidouji.
"Voldemort is only half Sorcerer, and mostly wizard." A male 17 years old grumbled, "and wizards are one of the low-levelled magic." He had chocolate coloured hair, and fiery amber coloured eyes his name Syaoran Li.
"Now, now, no need to be so angry, Wizards and Witches aren't all that bad, besides, Warui-san can't hide from us that easily." Another male 17 years of age chuckled, he had dark ocean blue hair similar to black, and behind his thin wire glasses he had eyes the colour of the night sea his name Eriol Hiiragizawa.
They walked over to their dorms, "But why Wizards? Couldn't it be something like, I don't know... something of a higher-levelled magic?" questioned the final female in the group, she had dark black hair that was usually always tied in two buns, and ruby red eyes, her name Meiling Li.
"I agree with Meiling, why Wizards. They could take care of themselves." Said the last male in the group, he had dark brown hair and blue-green eyes, his name Ryuji Aya.
Sakura giggled, "You always agree with Meiling-chan, and hai, they can take care of themselves, but they aren't powerful enough to handle a sorcerer, especially with a half sorcerer by his side. And besides, think of it as... an experience of a lifetime, and we get to sort of miss training for this... we'll be learning things we already know! So school is going to be a breeze!"
They looked at Sakura shocked, "Since when do you note the obvious?" asked Syaoran in a teasing matter.
Sakura glared at him and hit him playfully on his left arm, "I've sort of grown out of those habits you know! I'm not all that naïve and oblivious to what happens." She huffed and started packing her bag.
The guys chuckled as they too started packing, while the two other girls laughed and finished packing.
Once they were done, they minimized their belongings and teleported to Hogwarts.

Students from the age of 11 to 17 were all gathered in a large hall, as they were seated at four different tables. Then all the way in the front another large table was placed, and the professors sat.
A hush fell over the crowd as an elderly man stood up from his seat at the centre of the table, and spoke, "Welcome to the new students, and welcome back to a new year at Hogwarts. I will just go over the few rules we have here at Hogwarts, Mr. Filch the care taker, has asked me to tell you that the list of objects forbidden inside the castle this has year been extended to include Screaming Yo-yos, Fanged Frisbees and Ever-Bashing Boomerangs. The full list comprises some four hundred and thirty-seven items, I believe, and can be viewed in Mr. Filch's office, if anybody would like to check. I would also like to remind that the forest in the ground are out-of-bounds to students (he eyed a certain little group at the Gryffindor table) as is the village of Hogsmeade to all below third year or those without permission. I also would like to mention that we will be having 6 exchange student and are being placed in 7th year..."
The man paused and looked around, 'Now where would they be?' he wondered to himself.
The Students began whispering their thoughts about the exchange students, would they be nice? Why are they joining 7th year? And many other questions ran through their minds.
"Exchange students? They must be smart for joining 7th year." Said a 17-year-old male, with red hair, and light blue eyes his name Ron Weasley.
"Yes, either that or, they are too young for other years." Suggested a female with wavy brown hair and light brown eyes, her name Hermione Granger.
He two turned to their best friend who had been silent almost the whole time since they entered the school.
"Harry, is something the matter?" asked Hermione worriedly.
The male with black hair and behind his thin wire glassed emerald green eyes looked at her and shook his head.
"You sure mate? You've been quiet ever since we got here." Said Ron.
"I don't know, just lost in thought I guess." Harry replied.
At that moment they everyone turned to the large oak doors as they heard a yell of freight.
"HHOOOEEE!" The doors burst opened with a loud bang as a girl's figure stumbled into the great hall some sort of fog clouded everyone's view.
"Sakura-chan! Are you alright?" a voice broke through the silence, the fog lifted to reveal five students standing at the door while one getting up from their stop.
"Hai, I'm fine."
Sakura looked around her and noticed all the eyes were on her, "Hooeee." She looked at the front table and saw Dumbledore.
"Dumbledore-sensei! Gomen for being late." She said as she ran up to him with the others.
Sakura kept apologizing, as he chuckled, "It's quite alright Mist-" he stopped in his tracks when she shook her head, "Pardon, Ms. Kinomoto, but I am quite curious as to why you shouted."
Sakura blushed as she played with her fingers. Her friends beside her laughed.
"Well, you know how scared she gets when she sees ghosts, we ran into Bloody Baron on the way here." Said Eriol.
Sakura glared at him.
"You learn quite fast my dear, it took Syaoran eleven years to perfect that glare while you it only took four."
"Stuff it Hiiragizawa."
Dumbledore watched in amusement and chuckled, "Very well, very well, now introduce yourselves if you may."
"Tomoyo Daidouji."
"Meiling Li."
"Ryuji Aya."
"Eriol Hiiragizawa."
"Syaoran Li."
"Sakura Kinomoto."
The older guys in the room started to drool over the girls, while the girls started to form hearts in their eyes over the guys.
"Yes, yes, you will be in the houses you were chosen?" he asked.
They nodded and went to their tables.
Sakura went to Gryffindor, Eriol to Ravenclaw, Meiling Hufflepuff, Tomoyo Ravenclaw, Ryuji Hufflepuff and Syaoran Gryffindor.
Sakura walked over to Harry's side of the table, "Hello!" she greeted with a smile.
Harry smiled back, while Hermione stuck out her hand, "Hello, I'm Hermione Granger, Gryffindor Prefect."
Sakura smiled, "Congrats, I'm Sakura Kinomoto, this is Syaoran Li." She said after she shook Hermione's hand and pointed in Syaoran's direction, "You can call me Sakura, but I'm afraid you'll have to call him Li. He doesn't really like being called by his first name."
Hermione nodded in understanding.
Ron took this time to introduce himself, "Ron Weasley, also Gryffindor Prefect." Then he whispered to her, "I don't know why though."
Sakura giggled making Syaoran growl and take his seat. Sakura looked at him, "Oh lighten up Syaoran-kun."
Sakura took her seat and directed her attention to Harry, "And you are?"
Harry looked at her shocked, "You... don't know who I... am?" he asked as he rose his brow.
Sakura tipped her head to the left, "Are you famous?" she asked.
Ron looked at Sakura, "He's the most famous teen in the wizards' time!"
Sakura looked at Syaoran, "Do you know who he is?"
"I read about him once I suppose, said he survived an attack from the dark lord when he was only a child. He lost his parents that way." He replied without any emotion, which made the others besides Sakura to shiver.
Sakura turned to him with saddened eyes, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know."
"It's alright, you aren't from around here. My name's Harry Potter." He introduced.
Sakura smiled and shook his hand.

Down at Slytherin table which was at the other end of the hall from Gryffindor, a male watched The Gryffindor's golden trio with great annoyance as they talked happily to the 'angelic goddess' as he puts it.
His pushed his blond hair back with his left hand and growled, 'Why does Potter get all the attention?' he thought with envy though he didn't notice it. He slowly took out his wand and pointed it to Sakura, and muttered an inaudible word, after a few moments the tip of his wand shone a bright gold light till it died out.
The male smirked, "A pureblood at that, her powers would've most likely been better in Slytherin."
He chuckled to himself, "Wait till father hears about this, she is the most pure blood here, after my family of course."
His two sidekicks turned to him, "What're you laughing about Malfoy?" one asked.
The blond turned to him, "Nothing." Malfoy turned his attention back to Harry and the others.
--- --- ---
Tomoyo looked over to Sakura by the corner of her eye and smiled happily.
Eriol noticed this, "What are you smiling about?" he asked with great curiosity.
Tomoyo turned her attention towards him, "The way Sakura can make friends so easily." She replied.
Eriol looked over to his half daughter who was chatting with her new found friends, "Yes, her heart can sooth even a beast's soul, just look at my descendant, his heart once cold as steel, now all warm with emotions... if only he can get over his stupidity and actually admit he likes her and tell her his feelings towards her."
Tomoyo giggled, "True, even someone as gullible as Ryuji has admitted his feelings towards Meiling and are an odd, but a happy couple."
Eriol smiled, and kissed her on the cheek, "just like we are, probably without the odd."

Dumbledore watched the 6 high-levelled magic users with great amusement and turned to his left to look at the new DADA professor who sat next to the sinister looking Severus Snape.
His name was Joey Marvin; he had dark brown hair with natural blond highlights, and brown eyes, he was probably in his early twenties, and a happy nature. He too, worked for the Sorcerers Committee, though the 6 didn't know. He was there to make sure everything went to plan.
He looked at Dumbledore, "So it has begun Professor."
"Yes, lets pray no harm will be done to these students."
"Yes, lets." Was Joey's last reply.

Nearing the end of the feast, the small hairs at the back of Sakura's neck stood strait as those someone or something was watching her. She looked around her to catch anyone's eye looking at her but no success. Her aura flared for one second till she pulled it back.
Syaoran who has felt it looked at her, "What's wrong?" he asked her.
Sakura looked at him, "Nothing's wrong... why'd you ask?" she lied, but Syaoran saw right through her.
"Don't lie to me, something's wrong to suddenly make you flare out like that?" he suddenly slipped into Japanese.
Sakura turned and saw that her friends including a couple of professors looking at her, "Nothing's wrong, really."
Hermione watched them, 'Why did he suddenly ask what was the matter, she looks fine to me.'
She turned to Harry who seemed to be wondering the same thing.
"I'm telling you, there isn't anything to say, because nothing's wrong. Listen, it's been a long night, I'm... going to head to Gryffindor Tower."
Sakura stood from her seat bidding good-bye to her new friends and Syaoran, and then to her other four friends at the other tables and to Dumbledore, then took this time to leave.
Unknown to her so did Draco Malfoy.
--- --- ---
Sakura walked silently not really looking to where she was headed, she looked out a large window and was mesmerized by the stars, they had always caught her attention.
After all, her magic is a star, growing brighter by every passing day.
"Hello." Came a voice from within the shadows.
Sakura turned around to see Draco Malfoy bathed in the silvery light of the moon, "Oh, hello, I didn't know you were there."
Draco smiled, "it's quite alright, may I join you?" he asked.
Sakura just nodded.
"The stars are beautiful tonight, as is the moon."
Sakura smiled, "Yes, the night sky is usually always beautiful." She looked back to him, "Uh, I didn't get your name."
"Oh, Pardon me, I'm Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Prefect." He said with a slight bow.
"Sakura Kinomoto, Harry-kun told me that Gryffindors and Slytherins don't usually get along, yet so far we are getting along just fine."
"Has Potter mentioned anything about me?"
"No. But I'm guessing you two don't get along."
Draco looked into her emerald eyes, "How so?"
"The way you said his name, you said it with great dislike, possibly envy."
"Envy? Me? I would never envy Potter." He said with a slight chuckle.
Sakura looked into his blue-grey eyes, they were cold, and distant, it reminded her of what Syaoran was like before he changed... a slight bit.
Sakura took one last look at the sky then to Draco, "Well, it was nice meeting you Draco... is it alright I call you by your first name?"
"Of course, only if I am to be allowed to call you by your first."
Sakura grinned, "Ok, well I have to get going, I'll be seeing you around." And Sakura headed up a flight of stairs to the Gryffindor Tower.
Draco smirked, "Yes, father would like this a lot." Draco turned to the other direction as he went to Slytherin Tower.
Once he arrived he immediately contacted his father by Floolines.
'What is it?' a voice asked.
"Father, there are 6 new exchange students in Hogwarts, I had done that Purity charm you taught me on one female named Sakura Kinomoto, and she received a Golden flash." Draco said.
'Kinomoto you say? Describe her to me.'
"Honey Auburn coloured hair and Emerald green eyes."
'Yes, this may be the girl the High Lord speaks of. The Dark Lord has asked us to learn more about her, then retrieve her.' The voice said in a cold tone, 'I want you to learn more about her.'
Draco smirked, "I will."
And the conversation ended.

Sakura entered the Gryffindor Tower only to be questioned.
"Sakura! We thought you got lost!" Hermione exclaimed running to her.
"Yeah, when Li came up to the tower he came back to us saying you weren't here." Said Ron.
Sakura looked at Syaoran who gave her a questioning look.
"Gomen, I was just taking a stroll, and I bumped into one Slytherin."
Harry looked at Sakura, "He didn't happen to have blond hair and greyish eyes, and went by the name Draco Malfoy?"
"Yes, that's him. Why?" asked Sakura you join him and the others by the fire.
"That guy is pure evil!" a voice piped in.
Sakura turned to a girl younger than herself, who looked almost like Ron... besides the male part.
"Hello, I'm Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister."
Sakura shook her hand, "Sakura Kinomoto. But can I ask why Draco is evil?"
The four Gryffindor started mentioning everything that Draco did to them over the years while Sakura and Syaoran listened interestedly.
Soon it became time to turn in, and they went to sleep, passing the time for the next coming day.
