Daphne: "All right, I am really excited about this! I have had this idea in
my head for a while, and I finally chose to put it up and see what you
think. This is not your normal, run-of-the-mill HP/CCS story. It is
actually quite different, with POV's from the Harry Potter characters, as
well as the CCS's. My pairings are a bit different as well, and I hope that
you will like them!
***In this story, Syaoran left after the capture of the final card, leaving Sakura heartbroken. At the age of thirteen, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Rika become internationally acclaimed singers-in more places than one. When she is sixteen, Sakura is shocked when she gets a letter from a witching school called 'Hogwarts'. Together, she, Tomoyo and Rika travel to England and start their new lives as witches.
Meanwhile, Ginny Weasley is depressed. She is tired of being seen as 'Ron's little sister'. And when Dumbledore comes to her home, asking her to take care of three special 'kittens', she jumps at the chance. Even the famous Harry Potter cannot resist the cute kittens and their funny-if not sometimes weird antics. Soon though, Ginny is asked to come to Hogwarts early, just so she can show around some famous new students! And they happen to be Sakura, Tomoyo, and Rika!
Many strange things happen, and pull all four girls plus Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville Longbottom, Draco Malfoy, and several other people (I will leave them a secret), into a plot so twisted, that it will take all of their magic combined, plus one teacher who knows more than he should, to untangle themselves and defeat the Dark Lord, once and for all.***
So-when does Syaoran come in, and why did he really leave? Read to find out!
Couples:
Sakura/Syaoran
Tomoyo/Eriol
Rika/? (I will leave this a mystery!)
Meiling/? (This too!)
Ginny/Harry
Ron/Hermione
Plus some others, but I will leave it at that, for now!
Disclaimer: CCS does not belong to me, and neither does HP, so leave me alone, or I will send my flying monkeys after you.

Hogwarts-Sakura Style
By: Daphne Li
Chapter 1.
"Sakura?"
Sixteen year-old Kinomoto Sakura moaned and rolled over in bed, covering her head with a pillow.
"Sakura?! GET UP NOW!"
"Agh!" Sakura shrieked, jolting up in bed and flinging her pillow across the room. Unknown to her, she threw a lot more than a pillow.
"Ow." A voice whimpered, causing Sakura to gasp, and rush over to the pillow, pulling it off the strange little creature lying beneath it.
"Sorry Kero, but you really shouldn't wake me up like that!" Sakura chided, picking the little creature up, and cradling it in her arms.
"You were dreaming about *him* again, weren't you?" Kero asked, his eyes filling with worry. Sakura sighed and sat him down on her desk.
"We had better hurry. I promised Tomoyo that I would meet her and Rika in the park in half an hour." Sakura muttered, going over to her closet and pulling out an outfit. It was black-leather pants, and a pink shirt with flared sleeves and a V-neck. Then Sakura added a pink-rhinestone necklace to the mix, and slipped on some sparkly-pink strap-up sandals. She then moved on to brushing her wavy, waist-length auburn hair, and then pulling it up into a messy bun. She added a touch of clear lip gloss to her rosy lips, and then smiled at her reflection. The Cards mistress was up and ready for her day!
"I will be back in an hour or two, Kero. Don't mess up my room, and help yourself to the chocolates that I have stashed under my bed!" She giggled cheerfully, carefully shutting her door behind her. Her father and brother knew about Cerberus, Guardian of the Sakura Cards, but she still preferred that Kero stay in her room while they were away during the day. Kero looked out the window and watched as his mistress ran down the driveway, a then headed for the park entrance.
"Oh, Sakura!" Kero whispered, moving away from the window and flying over to her dresser and picking up a picture that had been overturned to lay face-down on the surface. It was a picture of two girls and a boy, and it had been taken by Kero himself. The three young people were swinging on the swings in Penguin Park, and looking as though they were having a blast. The boy was pushing both girls alternately, as they laughed and made faces at the camera. It was the day after they had captured the final card, and Sakura still had yet to tell Syaoran how she felt, because Kero had flown into the room right after they had sealed the card and interrupted their conversation. Kero could still remember this day very well, because it was the last day they had ever seen the boy.
*Flashback*
"Higher, Syaoran!" A girl with short auburn hair cried, as the chestnut haired boy behind her did as she had asked. The raven haired girl swinging beside her, smiled and pumped herself higher into the air, giving the two below, a little privacy.
"Say cheese for the camera, Sakura!" A little yellow stuffed-animal look- alike pointed a camera in their direction and then grinned as the raven haired girl stuck out her tongue.
"Hey, that is my job, Kero!" She teased, causing Kero to chuckle.
"So? You always have all the fun, Tomoyo! Now, it is my turn!" He laughed, pointing the camera back at Syaoran and Sakura.
"So.do you really have to leave tomorrow?" Sakura asked softly, digging her feet into the sand and looking up into Syaoran's serious amber eyes. He sighed and nodded.
"I do. I just came back for a visit, Sakura. Meiling and I are returning tomorrow." Syaoran's face dropped and he carefully sat in the sand behind her. Tomoyo saw what was happening, and she quickly made her way over to Kero, to give them some privacy.
"Oh.well then.Syaoran I.I lo.I." Sakura stuttered, trying to express her emotions through a barrage of tears. Syaoran's eyes filled with pain as he brushed a tear off her cheek. He took a deep breath, and then closed his eyes, trying to calm himself.
"Sakura, I want you to know that, no matter what, I will always love you, even if you don't return my feelings in the same way." He whispered, standing up and then darting out of the park as fast as his legs could take him. Sakura collapsed onto the sand, sobbing, and Tomoyo rushed to comfort her friend.
"I tried to tell him.but I just get too nervous! I love him so much, and it hurts, Tomoyo! It really does!" Sakura sobbed, burying her head in Tomoyo's shoulder, as the other girl stroked her hair comfortingly. Kero hovered above them, a miserable smile on his face.
'Touya will love this! It was his dream to get rid of the 'gaki'.but I wonder if he will be so pleased when he finds out that Sakura is so unhappy.' Kero thought, his heart filling with remorse for his mistress.
*End flashback*
Kero sighed and clutched at his chest. The pain was still there. After all those years, he still felt the pain every time he thought about Sakura, and how she lived through every day, only on the hope that Syaoran would one day return to her.
"But it's hopeless." Kero mumbled, turning the picture back over.
"What is?"
Kero turned around to see the twenty-two year old Touya step into the room and shut the door. Kero pointed at the picture and sighed.
"That Syaoran will ever come back. I never could get up the heart to tell Sakura where Meiling and Syaoran *really* went after they left. Perhaps if I did, she would understand why they had to go." Kero muttered, looking out the window. Touya frowned.
"Well, I do have some news for you. This, came this morning, just after the kaijuu left. An *owl* dropped it off on the door-step." Touya said, holding up a letter and dropping it on the dresser. Kero gasped and looked at the seal on the back of the letter.
"But what could they want with Sakura?" Kero gasped, looking up at Touya. Touya frowned and shook his head.
"I don't know. But I *do* know that Tomoyo and Rika got letters just like this one. Don't ask me why, because I."
"'.don't know'. I know!" Kero said, smiling. Touya glared at him and then grinned.
"So.not only is kaijuu a sorceress, she is also a.
".Witch." Kero finished, his eyes widening. Then he grasped the letter and heaved it onto his shoulders. "I am going to find Sakura! She needs to see this, pronto!" Kero said, flying out the window and heading over to the park, leaving Touya to laugh and go back to his own room.
~*~*~*~
"It is the first week of summer break! What should we do?" Rika asked jokingly, as the three girls sat down on the swings of Penguin Park.
"How about we.swim, sing, have picnics.did I say sing?" Tomoyo asked, grinning.
"Do we have any concerts anytime soon?" Sakura questioned, looking up at the sky and starting to swing. When the girls were twelve, Tomoyo and Rika had gone to Daidouji Sonomi for help. Sakura had become so depressed, that she had shut herself up in her room, and had refused to leave it for days. Tomoyo and Rika had begged Sonomi for help, and she had gotten an ingenious idea. One of the few things that Sakura liked almost as much as her friends and Syaoran, was singing, so why not form a singing group and perform publicly? Tomoyo and Rika had thought this to be a great idea, and they had roped Sakura into it by the next day. After performing with other small bands around Tomeda for a few months, they had been spotted by a big executive and he had offered them a chance to work for his company. The three girls had jumped at the chance, and by the time they were thirteen, the 'Mortal Angels' were international stars. To protect the girls, they used stage-names in public. Sakura's was 'Cherry, Tomoyo's was 'Violet', and Rika's was 'Rose'. This, however, did not mean that Tomoyo, Rika, and Sakura had changed much, though. In fact, they were still very much the same, unless you counted their style of cloths and their hair-do's. Tomoyo made all the girl's costumes, and her style of cloths had spread to teenage girls everywhere.
"I don't think that Chang (their manager) has any lined up for us in the next few weeks, but I think we may have a big one sometime in August." Rika said, pulling a pocket-calendar out of her jeans-pocket.
"Oh.that is interesting." Sakura commented, ceasing her swinging, and looking up into the sky with an odd expression on her face.
"What is?" Tomoyo asked, looking in the direction that held Sakura's gaze. There, in the sky, flew two owls, both carrying something.
"Owls don't fly during the day, do they?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo and Rika both looked uncomfortable, as the owls swooped above them and dropped two envelopes into Tomoyo's and Rika's hands. Tomoyo frowned and rolled her eyes.
"I told them that I wasn't interested in going!" She muttered, opening the envelope. Sakura looked at her in confusion, and opened her mouth to speak.
"Sakura!" The three girls turned to see Kero flying towards them, an envelope draped over his shoulders.
"This came for you when you weren't home, and Touya thought that I should bring it for you to see." Kero panted, handing her the envelope. Sakura looked at the paper in her hand, and gasped.
"What weird paper. What is it made of?" She asked, turning the envelope over in her hands. Then she read the address outloud.
"Miss Sakura Kinomoto, 337 N. Sakura Drive, Tomeda, Japan Bright pink room with white shutters."
"All right.that's strange! How do they know what color my room is?" Sakura asked. By now, Tomoyo and Rika had turned pale and were looking at each other strangely. Sakura didn't notice this, though. She was more interested in the wax crest at the back of the envelope.
"Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to open it." She muttered, sliding a perfectly manicured nail under the wax and pulling it open. She reached for the letter, and opened it.
"Dear Miss Kinomoto,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. Because of the fact that you are far advanced in magic already, and the fact that you are sixteen, you will be joining our sixth year, instead of the first. Please be in London by no later than the 11th of June, and be prepared to meet our Grounds Keeper, Rubeus Hagrid at the airport. He will escort you and your two friends to Diagon Alley, where you will buy your things, and then he will accompany you back to Hogwarts, where you will receive further instructions.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress"
For a moment, Sakura could do nothing but stare at her shocking letter, but finally, she managed to reveal her emotions.
"KERO!!!!!"
~*~*~*~
After the initial shock, Kero had sat her down and explained about the letter. It turned out that Tomoyo and Rika had been receiving the same type of letter ever since they were eleven.
"You mean to tell me, that you had the chance to go to a school for magic people, and you turned it down?! Why on God's green earth would you do that?" Sakura asked, her emerald eyes wide. Tomoyo sighed.
"We didn't want to leave you alone here. So, they sent us private teachers, so no one would know, but we could still get the training we needed. But it has become to dangerous for us to stay here, unprotected. The Dark Lord, Voldemort, has returned to power. I think that is also why they are asking you to come. They didn't ask before, because you were already strong enough to be a seventh year. Since you are sixteen, they decided it would be fairer to put you in the sixth year, though." Tomoyo said. Rika held up her letter.
"That is what they told me, too. Hey, did you know that we are famous in the Wizerding world as well? I just hope no one recognizes us, or we will be mobbed on the spot! We are almost as big as Harry Potter himself!" Rika exclaimed. Sakura frowned.
"Who is Harry Potter?" She asked in confusion. Tomoyo and Rika looked at each other and squealed.
"He is only the single most famous boy in the Wizerding World! He was the one who first defeated the Dark Lord, and brought eleven years of peace to the Wizerding World. Of course, during his first year, he had an encounter with the Dark Lord, and during his second.and during his fourth the Dark Lord came back.but he has pretty much stayed out of the limelight. Harry's best friend is a boy named Ron Weasley, and his other best friend is Hermione Granger, a muggle born girl who is dating Ron at present." Rika listed off.
"What is a muggle born?" Sakura asked, her eyes darkening in confusion. Tomoyo sighed.
"I suppose we have a lot of explaining to do." She said. Rika nodded.
"And we should be heading for England by next Sunday, at latest. Come on. We will explain everything on the way home." Rika said, taking Sakura's arm and pulling her towards the exit of the park. Kero grinned, happy to see his mistress's mind on something other than the Chinese gaki.
'Unfortunately, he will be coming back into her life a lot sooner than I would like him too." Kero thought, as he followed the girls out of the park.
~*~*~*~
"So.may I go?!" Sakura asked eagerly, her excited green eyes on her father. He smiled at her and re-read the letter.
"Well, I don't see why not. You would be safer there, and since Tomoyo and Rika are going, I am sure that you will have plenty of time to practice all your new songs and such." Fujitaka consented, his gray eyes sparkling at his excited daughter.
"All right! Come on, Kero! We have some packing to do!" Sakura crowed, jumping up the stairs two stairs at a time. Touya grinned at his sister's retreating back, and then he turned to his father.
"I am going to visit her a lot, you know. I am not going to let some freaky Volde-dork dude mess around with my kaijuu." Touya threatened. Fujitaka smiled and nodded.
"You have my full permission to visit her anytime you like. In fact, perhaps you would like to continue your schooling in England for a few years. That way, you will be closer to her." Fujitaka suggested, causing Touya's smile to grow.
"I like the way you think, dad!" The young man bellowed, slapping Fujitaka across the back and then running out the front door.
"I am on my way to study with Yukito for a few hours! I'll be back in time for dinner!" Touya called, slamming the front door. Fujitaka chuckled and turned back to the newspaper that he had been reading before Sakura came running into the room with her letter.
