Harry Potter and the Cardcaptors

Chapter 9

Harry, Hermione and Kero were standing in a corridor waiting for the Shadow Card. At the moment there was only a few teachers left walking the school. However not enough for them to be caught out of bed after hours, which was incredibly lucky for them.

Harry, all thanks to Hermione was wearing a very strange outfit. It had a black cap with wings like his wand/key, followed by a black long sleeved tight t-shirt again with the wings. Tight black jeans with black trainers with a wing on each side and finally a belt with the buckle being a set of wings again. Plus Kero had a black collar with a set of wings at the front, like a bowtie.

"You know Hermione this is not really me. I mean why did I have to wear this for?"

"Well you want the Cards too take you seriously don't you Harry? So naturally you have too look the part so they do. Anyway Harry you look good in that so why spoil it?"

"She's right Harry a good Cardcaptor can wear anything for a battle however a great Cardcaptor can wear anything as a good battle costume."

"Kero you just love the collar and wings combo she gave you so we match."

"Yeah, but again my point still stands. Besides you do look good in it so why not use a good battle costume. Any way Hermione do you have any more battle costumes or are you sticking with this one?"

"Oh god please let this be the only one."

"Actually I have more battle costumes as you put it, and you know what I like the name. So Harry can have a different outfit for each card he faces and captures."

"For Merlin's sake what did I do too piss some one off." Said Harry quietly however he was still heard by Kero and Hermione.

They continued with looking for the Shadow Card and they tried everywhere that an attack took place. However they still found nothing as the time passed them by and Harry and Hermione were starting too wonder if it would come out tonight.

"You know Kero maybe it's not coming out tonight?"

"Harry don't assume anything about a card you haven't faced yet. Besides night time is Shadows preferred time too come out because of all the shadows that are about."

"Yeah but we have class in the morning Kero. What would Hermione and I do if we kept falling asleep?"

"Well if Hermione wanted she could easily head back to the common room for the night. However you need too catch the Shadow card before it does any more harm Harry."

"That's just great Kero thanks." Harry said sarcastically.

"Don't worry Harry I'm not going back yet since I want too see this capture and all the others. However I do hope it would hurry so we can get back and get some sleep."

"Yeah you and me both Hermione."

For the next hour they walked around the school avoiding all the teachers that were still around. However as of yet there was still no sign of The Shadow Card and Harry was beginning too wonder if it would even come out at all tonight. So as they walked they kept an eye on the Marauders Map and had a quiet conversation while still keeping and eye and ear open. Suddenly they heard a fluttering of a robe from ahead of them which shut them up and Harry looked at the Map too see who was ahead of them.

"Who ever that is ahead of us they're not showing up on the Map which should be impossible since it's keyed into the wards. I'll see if I can sense if there is any one there hold on a minute."

Harry then closed his eyes and extended his senses out around him while the other two waited. They then heard the same sound of the robe again only this time it sounded closer. Harry opened his eyes and took the key from around his neck looking back at the other two and said.

"Its The Shadow Card and it's getting closer so back up a little."

They all backed up a bit from the noise and in the glum beyond the light of the wands they could see a hooded figure walking slowly towards them. Harry knew what it was and had gotten his key ready along with the Cards he could use and started his chant.

"Oh key of Clow, Power of Magic, Power of Light, surrender the wand, The Force Ignite, RELEASE."

Suddenly the symbol appeared on the floor as wind was shucked into the key as it changed into the sealing wand. Harry then gave it a little twirl before posing all the while he did this The Shadow Card moved closer towards them.
