Disclaimer: I own nothing except the age difference in the new Potter (whom which you will find out about. Mwahahaha!!! You'll have to read to find out. ^-^) and her abilities. Everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling. So don't sue. Enjoy!! ^-^

~Prologue~

The leaves rustled in the dying wind. A soft cooing of a baby within a mother's arm was audible. Lily Potter held her baby close to her, breathing in her soft scent. Not far away, James was taking Harry on a flying spree. Harry, who was no more than three years of age, was taking most of the control of the broomstick. Lily shook her head at her husband and boy. She turned back to her daughter, praying that she wouldn't do something as dangerous as that.

"Oh James, do come down with Harry," Lily pleaded.

"Aw, Mommy, can't I stay up here a little longer?" The three-year-old asked whiningly.

"Harry, no," Lily said, exasperated.

"Okay," Harry said reluctantly.

As the three, and little Sakura in Lily's arm, made their way up to the manor, neither of them noticed a cloaked figure watching them from behind a tree.

The cloaked figure said softly, "At last, the remaining Potters shall die before midnight."

As the evening approached, the family gathered around the fireplace. Harry was on a toy broom, which hovered only a few feet of the ground, while Sakura laid in her father's arms, with Lily's close, mothering eye on her. Without warning, the front door burst open, shattering glass among the front hall. Both parents jumped to their feet, nearly toppling Harry off his broom. The family was confronted by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, Lucious Malfoy among them.

"Ah," Voldemort said, "We now finally meet. Join my dark force and I promise, no harm will come to you or your family, James."

"Never! Lily! Take Harry and Sakura and run!" James shouted. "I'll try to hold him off."

Voldemort sneered. "Don't think that she will get away that easily. Accio Sakura!"

Sakura flew out of the safety of her mother's arms in to the evil dark lord.

"Sakura, no!" Lily screamed. "Please! Don't hurt her!"

"Oh, don't worry my dear. I'll only be giving her an early death. Then I'll have one down and three to go."

James Potter could not stand it any longer. "Why do you come here?" He yelled.

"Why, to kill you of course." Was the reply.

"Please! Don't harm my children. Please! I beg of you. Kill me instead," Lily sobbed, trying to make her way across the shattered glass.

"Oh, well maybe I won't kill Sakura. But I will kill your spoiled son, Harry. Your little girl is very powerful, and she might come in handy once she is on the dark side," Voldemort declared.

"No! Please! Don't turn her to your side!" James pleaded, already knowing the answer.

Voldemort sneered at James. "And who is going to stop me?"

Lily choked back a sob, but was unsuccessful. She pulled Harry close to her side. Harry turned to the Dark Lord. "Let my sister go," he whispered softly.

As Voldemort held the infant in front of the mother's weeping figure, Sakura began to glow, a shimmering silver aura reflecting off her. Voldemort began to scream in pain, the silver aura twisting around his sinister figure, sending electric shocks through out his body. Unlike Voldemort, Sakura was giggling at the sight of Voldemort's open mouth, thinking he was playing a game.

Harry hid behind his father, suddenly frightened at his shimmering sister. "Daddy? What's happening to Sakuwa?" Harry asked in a fumbling voice, stumbling over the flower name.

"I-I-I don't know Harry," James replied, his voice shaking in both fear and awe. Coming to his senses, James screamed, "What are you doing to my baby!" James leaped toward the dark lord.

"I am not doing anything," Voldemort screamed in agony. "Well, if I can't kill her, I'll kill your son first instead. Avada Kedavra!"

"NO!" Lily screamed, coming to her senses as she was too late in saving Harry. Harry screamed as the curse hit his forehead, leaving nothing but a thin scar. Backfiring, the curse left its mark and came hurtling back towards Voldemort.

"Sakura! NO!" James yelled in frustration as the curse slammed into the deceasing dark lord and the tiny infant. In a blinding flash of light, the family was able to see, but were hurt in discovering the dark lord and his men gone, along with Sakura, their only daughter.

"Daddy! Where's Sakuwa? Where's Sakuwa?" Harry cried, as he searched frantically for the sister he loved. James opened his arms to Harry, and the family trio held each other tightly, mourning over the loss of Sakura. In a flash, James apparated his family into Sirius' den.

"Prongs," Sirius said surprisingly. "What brings you here?"

"You-Know-Who came to our house, and - and-'' James broke off crying. Harry, not used to seeing his strong dad cry, began to sob in Lily's arms. Despite the hollow feeling within her heart, she soothed Harry the best she could.

"James?" Sirius asked uncertainly. He turned to Lily for an answer.

"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named came to our house, and Sakura is gone," Lily said fighting back the tears that threaten to fall. "He said the Killing Curse, it backfired, and it hit him, The next thing we knew, Sakura was gone, along with him." Lily couldn't take it anymore. She fell on her knees to the ground and sobbed, repeating her lost daughter's name, over and over again. Sirius looked at the now family trio crying, and he too began to mourn for the loss of his goddaughter. The family, including Sirius, braved themselves for a new beginning without Sakura Lily Potter.

A/N: I know this is pretty short (okay, okay, really short. Happy? J/k) but hey, its only the prologue!! There will be more!! Let's just hope that I can finish this BEFORE school starts, because when I go back in January, there will be NO time for me to write so……….. keep coming back for more updates!!! (I hope that I don't get carried away and start to create a Card Captor Sakura/ Harry Potter crossover. {Hint the name Sakura} Oh, well. If I do {and sorry for those who are groaning} I promise to make it really interesting. It's not like 'Sakura captures card. Card ok, and over and over. It'll be a whole lot better.} Well, see that link at the bottom of the page? Now go click it and give me a review. ^ - ^……… I must have some reviews if you want this story to continue!!!
