Chapter 22... Oh snap! Not Dumbledore!
(ohhhhh we are coming to the end! Only two more chapters after this one. And by the way, chapter 23 is my personal fav. THE CLIMAX XD. Enjoy)
Kyo told the others that they also needed to be on their guard. They planned to attack on Sunday-- that would be a long enough time to wait. Painfully wait.
"How are we supposed to attack if Snape has Voldemort on his side?!" They asked.
Kyo grinned, "I know, it's not like we can use magic or anything. Hasn't Fai been preparing us all for this since day one?"
Saturday came around and was very much like the previous. They visited Hagrid and helped him water the mandrakes in the Green House, sprinkling them also with a magic powder that supposedly would encourage them to sprout. For their Devination class, they worked on palm reading as homework. But the quick day came to an end and Kyo prepared a meeting with the others.
But only Ami showed up and after a while, her face swelled with tears.
" I just heard Yusuke went missing and now....Everyb-b-b-body's disappearing-" Ami was sobbing.
"Ami--" Kyo said faltering.
Sakura Haruno, Rukia and Ino appeared in the room. "We're here!"
Their faces lit up with relief.
Kyo took a breath. "One o' clock p.m. tomorrow. Meet at this same spot. Bring your wands, I daresay you'll be needing them."
-------------------------
Kyo woke up. Sunday. He quickly got dressed and visited Syaoran before going down to breakfast.
"Syaoran?"
Syaoran opened his eyes, but his sight was still badly impaired. "Kyo? Fai told me what you're going to do today-- You have to get me away from here. Let me help!"
"No. You know that in this condition you would just be in the way. Sakura would worry about you, and I wouldn't blame her. You will only get hurt if you can't see the enemy!"
Syaoran bent his head in defeat.
"Don't worry, I won't come back without her."
Leaving, Kyo wondered what else he could do. Syaoran had to be convinced that he wouldn't be any help, or he would undoubtedly take it upon himself to rescue her-- blind or not.
He saw someone coming through the school's front doors.
It couldn't be a student, his mind registered instantaneously. The man he saw before him was none other than Snape.
Kyo hid behind a pillar, out of sight, and watched as Snape made his way to the passage that led to the herbology green houses.
Going to prepare that potion, Kyo thought. I wonder what's on his mind?
Probably the goal that tonight will bring him, his mind whispered back.
He decided against trailing after the potions master, and instead returned to the Great Hall to await Dumbledore's daily announcements. But Dumbledore was no where to be seen.
Intead, Filch ran through the hall. Without breath, he shouted, "The- he- Dumbledore is gone!"
Voiced dismay erupted among the tables surrounding him. Even Slytherin was looking shocked, knowing that this meant the school would be forced to close.
Kyo had never thought that the old wizard would be taken! And he could have given him the information he had known-- could have stopped this from happening!
Hagrid came in, looking frazzled. "Snape has just informed me that more students have gone missing. Rukia--"
Kyo's body tensed.
"--Sakura Haruno, and Ino."
Now it would be up to only Ami, Fai, and himself, to bring down to most powerful sorceror of all time. He began to feel light-headed.
Dumbledore had been the only one he feared. Did his capture mean he had become stronger already? He clenched his fist at his side. He has them.. He has them all.... Sakura's precious feathers....It was too late!
Maybe not, though. Fai had heard the same news, and he looked calm as ever. I have to pretend like nothings changed, I have to be strong, if only for Sakura's sake.
All students were ordered to return to their dormintories. "Your parents will all be notified by owl post to take you home tomorrow morning. NO exclusions."
Kyo tried studying complex spells in his common room, but ended up falling asleep instead, enhausted from worry.
--------------------------------
He woke up and ran to the clock on the wall. It wasn't 1:00. Yet. Relieved, he realized that in just one hour, he would be completing his quest and assemble their "team". To bad it would only be three people, he thought grimly. He wondered if the security would allow him and the others to leave their common rooms. He didn't want to force his way out."
Picking up his textbook from the floor, he found the page he had been studying. "Here I go again...."
(Sorry I couldn't update yesterday... THIS CHAPTER IS LOOOONG! or at least it felt that way. Some foreshadowing here and there, some humor, and malfoy speaks yet still has no major plot role T_T Enjoy!)
Chapter 21 The Grim?
Kyo told Syaoran what had happened as best he could.Angrily, Syaoran attempted to rise from his bed.
"That monster!" He said making a fist.
Madam Taffy came in and asked groggily where Sakura was. Kyo answered truthfully: They didn't know.
Kyo briefly told Syaoran that he had to inform the others, and then he left. Syaoran could tell that something was stabbing Kyo's heart, and it wasn't just Sakura's kidnapping. It must be Yuki, he thought sadly.
Syaoran wasn't feeling so good himself. Never in his life, since he was a child abandoned and alone, had he ever felt this vulnerable and useless. This was one of the times Sakura really needed him. And he couldn't help her.
-------------------------------------
Kyo left for the table in the Great hall. It felt strange to be sitting there without Sakura. He remembered the first day they had met there. His memory wasn't sharp, but he recalled Sakura had been exhausted. Now he knew she came from a different dimension and that she hadn't arrived on the Hogwarts Express. Fai wasn't even their real DADA teacher! What black hole in space and time was everyone being swallowed up inside of? But wherever Kurogane and Sakura were, he wondered if they were together.
Silently, he ate his food, picking at the bacon beside his pancakes. Today was friday, so it was a minimum day schedule. He planned to find the others after the school day was over and tell them of the disturbing news. At the moment, however, he coul not leave the table. Security had directly increased with the number of missing people.
Kyo didn't understand. Why did he-who-must-not-be-named need them all? Was there someone else out there doing the other kinappings who had nothing to do with Voldemort? Kyo drained his goblet of orange juice and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
Dumbledore then rose to give announcements. "The following children are now missing: Sakura, Colin Creevey, Ginny Weasley, and Hikaru."
Kyo closed his eyes tightly before opening them again, wishing that he would wake from this nightmare he seemed to be locked inside of.
Dumbledore continued," Yuki and the Prefect Kabuto are also missing, as you already know. Please, if you have information on these diappearances, I must know at once. Though the school year is ending, Hogwarts will be forced to shut down if it is no longer a safe place."
Kyo felt guilty because he knew so much. But, he knew that if he ran up there and told the old man everything, then he would attract attention and make himself a target. He didn't know how many people he could trust anymore, besides his group.
"Your prefects will lead you to your first class."
Kyo was led to herbology where Hagrid was struggling to grow the mandrakes.
"How much water do these things need anyway!" A boy in Slytherin complained.
Kyo told him they needed 3 gallons a day to grow as fast as they were wanting them to. Hagrid ripped a worksheet from Kyo's hand. "No," he corrected him, scribbling out his answer, "2 and a half."
"Well excuse me for rounding." Kyo said.
Hagrid continued to pour water on the mound of dirt covering the Mandrake seed. "Kyo," Hagrid said seriously. " Gardening is a science, not an art. Precise terms are used to insure that everything is done accordingly."
Kyo sighed. After the last 1/2 gallon was added, Hagrid asked them all how school was going. Kyo answered with a grunt.
Hagrid returned the answer with a smile. "Don't worry, these mandrakes will be ready in a couple days, and then Peeves will become unpetrified!"
"Whoopee," one Huffllepuff said with dry sacasm.
Hagrid frowned.
"So the mandrake leaves will grow by tomorrow's tomorrow?"
Hagrid scratched his head. "Yah, something like that."
A Slytherin tok the instruction manual from Kyo. "So we just grind up their leaves and make a potion or what?"
Hagrid shook his head. "We're no the one's doing that. That there's where Snape comes in."
Kyo wondered what Snape would do to the potion. Poison it? No that couldn't be it. Peeves was already dead. That meant that Snape would probably just try to worsen the condition. Whatever he did, he wouldn't revive the ghost. His "master" was probably the one who petrified him in the first place. Maybe he didn't have any evidence of this, but it felt good to blame him.
Malfoy snickered. " How do you make a frozen ghost drink a potion anyway? Pour it over it's head?
Kyo rolled his eyes. So these were the ones that Harry Potter had to deal with. Annoying!
Hagrid dismissed the class and Kyo made his way to his next class. Transfiguration had been substituted by Devination. He shared the period with the Ravenclaw who one had Potions at this time.
"I'm professor Trelawny. Please, let your fate lead you to where you will sit for the rest of the year."
Kyo raised his eyebrows. He waited a moment for his "fate" to take him by the hand and then decided to find his own way.
"Ami!" Kyo said brightly when he saw a familiar face. "Want to sit by me?"
Ami blushed at his enthusiasm. "Well, okay."
They found a spot that had not yet been taken and sat at a double desk.
Trelawny handed each pair a stack of cards. "Today we will be using a form of fortune-telling: Tarot Cards. Split the deck, and place three cards in front of you, leaing a space between each one. Do this again with 3 new cards, this time facing your partner." She continued in a strange mistical voice to deliver instructions about the meaning of each card.
Ami began, flipping over the center card. "Okay, this one is a wilting rose. You are suffering."
Go figure, Kyo thought.
"The one on the left is the future, and on the right is your past. Which will you choose? The left? Okay..." She turned the card over to examine it right side up. "A black dog.... What does that mean?"
Kyo shrugged. "I'm man's best friend and I will help someone who is blind. What a coincidence!"
Ami shook her head. "There is no coincidence in this world, there is only Hitsuzen (inevitability) remember?"
Professor Trelawny scampered to their table moaning and looking aghast. "This is..... the GRIM! Boy! As the year draws to a close, so too will your dreary fate."
Kyo was taken aback. "Excuse me? I thought I read it pretty well."
She shook he head sadly. "Oh the inexperienced who defy wisdom.... Such was Cassandra's fate....."
When Trelawny was finally distracted by another victim, Kyo continued by reading Ami's fortune. "A group of grapes.... You're tasty--I mean have good taste?" He blushed in embarrassment. Great, Kyo, great use of the human language, he thought.
Ami shook her head. "What happens to the grapes on a vine? They are destined to depart from it's friends one by one. Does that mean more of us will be kidnapped?!"
Kyo quieted her. "Maybe, but my card says that I'll help Syaoran. To do that, I have to defeat the bad guys and you'll be free anyway. Just-Just be on your guard, and I'll take care of the rest..."

New chapter! Enjoy!
The friends found that, even with Snape there, they weren't able to gather the information they needed. Sakura had abandoned the technique:hide, and decided that strength in numbers also helped. Fai had returned, so they didn't have to worry about Snape teaching DADA . The second quarter students in Hufflepuff and Gryffinfor had potions class substituted by Herbology.
With Professor Sprout gone , Hagrid took her place. Hagrid resembled how Kyo had envisioned a giant would be. Despite being a tall man, Hagrid was a gentle man, with a ridiculous obsession for dangerous magical creatures. So far, all they hd learned from him what you should do if: You wanted your plants to die, your flowers to wilt, or a man-eating plant to eat less people.
Since Ami was in Ravenclaw, she still had to suffer through Snape's harsh potions classes. But, she could also spy on him in person. Everyone rejoyced when they saw Fai, but he looked terribly distant and weak. Kyo overheard other hufflepuffs say that Fai was afraid that whatever had happened to Kurogane, would soon happen to him. Sakura thought Fai was concerned for Kurogane's well-being, and Sakura reminded him that Fai depended on Kurogane for blood. Of course, they decided it would be better not to reveal to Kyo that Fai was a vampire. Despite his weakness, Fai continued increasing his students' skill in defensive magic until he was sure they could handle anything from a tall cliff to a three headed dragon. " You will need your magic in tough situations." He told them, and Kyo couldn't agree more.
--------------------------------------
Fai smiled. "What's on your mind, Syaoran."
Syaoran grinned. "You could tell, huh? Oh, I was just thinking about what Kurogane once asked. 'I wonder where the real Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is.' Now other teachers are vanishing too. Maybe we can add this as clue? There could be a connection."
Fai nodded. "You have a point, but won't it confuse your new friends if you tell them I'm not really their teacher?"
Syaoran chuckled. " I don't believe there's anything that coul.d surprise them now."
Fai continued to nodd and took it under consideration. Perhaps they were onto something. The teacher disappearances may be the key.
--------------------------------------------
"Happy Valentine's Day!!!" Sakura woke up with a start. People were talking very loudly downstairs. Sleepily, she slipped into her robes and glanced at the magical calendar on her wall. The page said, "February 14- Valentine's day." Sakura couldn't believe that she'd forgotten. Sakura took out a paper and quill and wrote, " Dear Syaoran.... I am thankful for all youv'e done for me. For you, I promise that I will one day remember everything about you... and myself. You're so caring and always know how I feel, nd I cherish every moment we spend together. Your BFF, Sakura." And of course, there was Kyo's letter to write. " Dear Kyo, I'm so happy that you wanted to be my friend at the beginning of the year. I felt so lost and alone when Syaoran was placed in Gryffindor, and I don't think I could have pulled through without you. So when's the next Quidditch match? Do you know? I sure don't. I practice with the team after school everyday, but I can never remember the skirmish dates.Yours Truly, Sakura.
She laughed at herself, realizing how much she enjoyed signing her name. It also never occured to her how important names were. Suddenly, images and voices grew loud in her mind, swirling around in a dizzying fashion.Then, she was in a familiar scene. The prefect and Snape were talking about her. " The girls name," the prefect was saying, "that is all you need, right?"
Snape nodded, " Once I have her name, I can make that potion you need." Sakura's eyes widened.
The prefect smiled a smile one wears when he is enjoying an execution. " The girl's name... It's Sakura." Sakura watched in horror as Snape bowed low before him. Kabuto told him to rise and Snape left the room. Slowly she was drawn out of the memory and felt herself fall back into her own feet, that still rested upon the ground of the hufflepuff dormintory. Syaoran had told her once before that she had unawakened powers. Had what she seen possibly have been real? If it had, that meant Snape worked for the prefect, not the other way around. Sakura remembered seeing herself and Kyo leaving the room when the playback had begun, which suggested it was not a true memory. Talk about De ja vu, Sakura thought. It was as though she saw what had transpired in the Great Hall after she went to try out for Quidditch. Collecting the notes she had written, Sakura hastily left the common room.
-------------------------------
Dumbledore sat at the front of the Great Hall, Sakura at a long table therein. The very same table had been part of the background of her daymare.
"Happy Valentine's day," Dumbledore said cheerfully. He couldn't have known of the dark cloud over Sakura's sunny thoughts, but his bright voice still seemed misplaced to her. "The cupids Hagrid hired will deliver all of your notes to that special someone. On a darker note...I'm sorry to inform you that as long as the teachers are missing, you cannot go anywhere unplanned off campus or through the halls without a prefect. This is for your own safety."
Sakura saw Syaoran frown, but she knew he couldn't understand how terrible this news really was.. After seeing what she had, Sakura had to warn him about the ever-increasingly-disturbing Gryffindor prefect.
" House points have been calculated once more. First place: Gryffindor. Second place: Ravenclaw. Third place is a tie between Hufflepuff and Slytherin."
Sakura dashed o the Gryffindor table. Syaoran was blushing. " Sakura--"
She interrupted him. "I have to tell everyone something VERY important. This cannot wait!" Together, they snuck out of the dining hll as the cupids began their deliveries. Kyo followed.
"What's up?" Syaoran asked when somehow the whole group had managed to meet in Fai's office. Sakura wasn't sure how to say what was on her mind. " The prefect, Kabuto, he's different than we thought."
"Innocent?"
Sakura stood on top of on of the chairs. "No! Not innocent... More guilty. We had it wrong though, he doesn't work for Snape. Snape works for him."
"Are you sure," Syaoran asked, feeling no need at the moment to question how she had gotten the new information. Sakura nodded. The rest watched as Syaoran pondered in his mind what this meant. " All of you, from Gryffindor, act like nothing is different. Snape only knows that Sakura, Kyo and I are friends. No one else knows that you girls even interact with us, do they?"
Ami spoke, "We never really speak about them, do we?" The other girls, all of whom were in Gryffindor, not Ravenclaw with Ami, agreed.
Syaoran relaxed. "Good. If anything, this can work to our advantage. If Kabuto heads somewhere, tell him you are going the same direction, and he'll have to accompany you there, with that new "never alone" rule. See where he goes."
The rest nodded and headed back to breakfast in the chaos of gifts and letters before they were missed. "Sakura-chan," Syaoran said, " I don't want you to spy. Keep safe.Oh!" Sakura watched him pull out a box of chocolates. "Only for you, Valentine," He said.
Sakura hugged him happily. " Thank you!." He opened that cupid shoved into his hand. When he was done reading it, it looked like tears were in his eyes. Not of joy, of despair.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, fearing the worst. Maybe I shouldn't have included the part about remembering him, she thought. But, Syaoran wasn't upset about that. His tears were for how much she had lost.
"It's okay, Syaoran-kun. Whatever it is will turn out fine in the end. I'm sure we'll be alright."
Syaoran dried his eyes. Of course she was right, like always.
The next Chapter was short so I thought I'd post it way early! Enjoy!
Chapter 14: Ami joins the Gang!
December passed quickly by, and there was still no sign of Snape. Syaoran realized there was nothing they could do if Snape had the feather until he was found. That said, the mystery of the feathers would have to wait. They had ran into Ami several times in two weeks and each time she was eager to inquire what they were up to.
With new year's eve beginning to approach, the three not being able to see Kurogane and Fai, they began to frequently write each other letter with the invisible ink. Sakura recieved one from Mokona and automatically said "thank you". Words rose onto the page, signed with the Hogwarts seal. "It's from Fai!"
Sakura read it to herself and then said aloud, "Mokona, Fai says that he and Kurogane have been in meetings everyday and they are sorry they can't spend time with us. He asks about the plan and says he'll be leaving on an errand. He should be back by the middle of January."
Mokona nodded; it already was aware of the trip Fai had planned in order to study deeper magic. It was a mystery however, as to what Fai planned to do with this knowledge, as it was no secret that he disliked using his gifts.
Sakura wrote a reply message, including the plan and her greetings. Laterm Sakura had been informed that somehow, Ami had gotten a hold of the letter. And then then stopped running into her throughout the corridors. Syaoran figured that Ami wouldn't know the password to reveal the secret ink, but worried nonetheless. He told everyone to form a "plan B" in case plan "A" failed. Plan A was to find Snape, and take the feather back forcefully. As they feared, the spy, as Syaoran called Ami, found out what they were scheming.
Kyo reassured Syaoran that Ami was in fact a "good guy." "You didn't trust me before, remember? And she hasn't done anything harmful like the Gryffindor prefect!" Kyo stopped now to think. " That prefect was suspicious, wasn't he?"
"What?" Syaoran asked, not hearing the mutter.
"Nothing."
Since they couldn't find Ami, they decided to spend the rest of their time outside in the snow. Yusuke, Sakura Haruno, Rukia, and Ino began returning to school, hoping to make a head start on assignments. It was obvious that Ami had told the rest of them about the "Voldemort fighter groups'" plans.
"Well," Kyo said, "at least they are on our side. They swore to never tell anyone else about our secret if we would only let them help us, so.... I gave in."
Syaoran groaned. " Great. Oh well, the more the merrier?"
Ami admitted that she had looked into their claims and found evidence that Harry's final attack may not have been enough to kill Voldemort. " I want to help if I can!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
New Years came, followed by fireworks and food. The group longed for school to begin. Maybe Snape would come back. After all, he wasn't there for Halloween, so maybe... just maybe... he had left to avoid all the holidays. Kyo disagreed with this theory, however, and believed that Snape was out rounding up the death eaters to see his master rise to power. The group knew that they knew the sorcerer's plans in a nut shell, and that hey had been able to discipher most of the mysteries, but the frame of the jig saw puzzle escaped them.
The whole situation was driving them crazy. When school began the next day,
things should have returned to normal. But they didn't.
