~Prologue~
“You have to bring my daughter to safety. I don’t want any of ‘them’ getting their hand on her and hurt her like they did with her mother. Please Professor I beg you, keep her safe.” Sirius pleaded with Dumbledore.
“I believe you are innocent Sirius and I will take care of her. I will send her away somewhere were she would be safe from You Know Who. Don’t worry about her just get yourself out of this so you can help her and Harry.”
~~~*~~~
Sirius awoke with a start; he had been having the same nightmare since the night he had to give up his only child. That night was the last he had seen of his little Willow. When he finally got himself out of Azkaban he had to help Harry (his godson) and when he was at last cleared of all suspicion she was nowhere to be found. He had tried every spell he could come up with and some more but still no Willow.
He had begun to worry if she was still walking this earth or maybe she was laying somewhere long forgotten. He prayed to God every night that she was alive and healthy. At the mere age of three she had lost everything and was thrown out to a new world of muggles, His girl a muggle of course not, but still there were no records of her at any of the schools. Dumbledore had lost track of her after her adoptive parents decided to move back to the states.
There had been too much chaos in the wizard world to find out. And now he had no way to find her, as he would spend the summer looking after four teenagers plus the Weasly twins. What was he thinking offering to go with them to America with only Snape and Lupin as companions? They were royally screwed. And they were not just going to America; no they were going to muggle America, but of course that would be too easy for the followers of the dark Lord to find them so Dumbledore decided that they best go to the town Sunnydale in California otherwise known as the hellmouth. Only because it was completely drenched with magical energy so it would be very hard to try to detect or find them. Now he had best get some sleep if he were to live through tomorrow.
~Part: 1~
At 9am Harry was unnaturally happy and awake. He was talking with his friends and occasionally glaring at Draco who was talking to Snape and sending him a glare every other minute, to the left stood a very tired looking Sirius talking quietly to Lupin. In less than an hour they would be on their way to LA and from there to the Hell mouth. It was going to be one hell of a summer, no pun intended. He was worried about Sirius but he figured that he would become better after some much needed vacation.
Suddenly the speakers in the airport called out their flight. They had decided that it would be best if they went the muggle way it was harder to trace. Of course both Draco and Snape protested but could not move Dumbledore’s decision.
As they made their way to their flight Harry couldn’t help but wonder what this summer had in store for them.
~~~*~~~
At the same time in Sunnydale California Willow Rosenberg and her friends Buffy and Xander sat in the graveyard waiting for a fledgling to rise. It had been a busy night and it was still far from over. They had decided that they needed to spend some time together as friends.
“This is great Wills! Why don’t we do this more often” Xander asked.
“Well Xander we have all been busy lately, you with Anya and Buffy with slaying and her mother.” Willow explained.
“Let’s not forget that you yourself Will have been busy,” Buffy said.
At that Willow blushed as she remembered exactly what had been keeping her so busy, While Buffy and Xander laughed.
“Yeah Willow how are Deadboy and JR,” Xander snickered.
“They just fine thank you for asking. It would be even better if you would stop calling them that,” Willow defended.
“Not a chance in hell.”
“Is Spike still insisting on calling you Mum?” Buffy asked.
“Yes he says that because I am technically dating his dad that his earned the right to call me Mum.”
“I guess his right but it’s still freaky to hear him, a 125 year old something vampire call you Mum.” Buffy told her.
“See it from the bright side Buff if you and Angel kept going out after he got his soul back, it would have been you instead of Willow,” Xander reminded her.
“Can you say ewuw.”
“No, that’s not true if Angel and Buffy still had been dating after Spike came back the last time he would just have tried to kill you again. After all you are the slayer and the only reason that his not out there trying to kill you is because of Angel,” Willow informed them.
“Yeah for once you got to like Deadboy.”
“Why thank you Xander I didn’t know you cared,” Angel replied sarcastically.
“Don’t encourage the moron peaches,” Spike smirked.
Angel and Spikes sudden appearance made Xander shriek and fall of the gravestone he had been sitting on. That made the others burst out laughing.
”Ha ha very funny.”
“We certainly thought so,” Willow choked out.
“Well what great friends you are,” Xander grumbled.
“Sorry but you should have seen the look on your face it looked like you were going to pee your pants,” Buffy laughed.
“How about we call it a night, I’m exhausted” Xander yawned.
“Ok. Walk you home Xander,” Buffy asked as he nodded his reply to her.
“Are you two going to walk me home too?” Willow smiled.
“Of course my lady this way” Angel bowed to her and offered his arm as they started to walk.
“Aren’t you coming Spike?” Willow called to him.
“Why don’t you to love brides go ahead and I will take a last sweep over the cemetery before I join you Mum.”
“Are you sure Spike?” Angel asked.
“Yeah see you soon.”
“Be careful Spike.”
“Aren’t I always Mum?!”
Willow and Angel rolled their eyes as they walked home knowing that he could handle himself more than well.
~~~*~~~
Angel and Buffy had broken up after Willow gave him his soul back. They had discovered that they were better of as friends even if his soul was permanent because of Willow. After Willow re-souled him they formed a friendship that soon grew to something deeper and then after a bad experience with a demon it blossomed to love. The others had been a little uncomfortable at first but they came around.
About a year after his return something strange happened. Willow had gone home one night to find Spike at her front porch. She had been frightened at first but for some reason believed Spike when he told her he wouldn’t hurt his sire’s girl, because he didn’t have a death wish. Willow invited him into her home and he spent the night telling her about how miserable his life was now that Dru had left him. Willow on her part listened and later gave him advice and about an hour before dawn he left with a thank you Mum. She never told anyone about their conversation and since he didn’t show up in the following weeks she could only assume that he followed her advice.
Three month after their talk he showed up again into a fight with some very nasty vampires and saved her life. All the others had been shocked especially as he left saying ‘better be careful there Mum wouldn’t want you to get hurt now would we’ before disappearing for a couple of days again.
Willow told the others about her earlier encounter with Spike and they were stunned. Angel couldn’t believe that Spike would actually even consider excepting Willow into their family, which made this news very happy to him even if he still didn’t really trust Spike.
As time past Spike spent more time with Willow and Angel and even started helping the Scooby gang but he always grumbled about becoming a poof and helping the bloody slayer. Spike later moved in to the mansion that Angel and now Willow was living in. He of course said that it was for their protection but they knew he was feeling a bit lonely. Over the entire time he kept calling Willow mum, red, luv or pet, mum was the most frequent of his pet names for her and that freaked everybody out which just made him use it more. According to him, he didn’t have to be nice to the slayer just because he was helping her.
Two years after his soul was returned to him Angel now had a family. And both him and Spike had been accepted into the group a bit reluctantly by some but still accepted.
~Part: 2~
Earlier that day
Harry was exhausted after the hours he had spent on the plane. He had gotten no chance to sleep either as Ron was snoring so loudly next to him. There was also Fred and George that kept him awake with their pranks they played on Draco. On the up side it didn’t look like Draco had gotten much sleep either. The only one that looked well rested was in fact Ron, not that that was a surprise since he had an ability to fall a sleep just about everywhere.
They were now waiting at the bus station for the bus that was going to take them to their home for the summer.
Draco was still grumbling about having to go the muggle way but was having a hard time covering up his excitement. Harry could understand that who in their right mind wouldn’t be excited to visit California but not only that but a real hellmouth how cool was that. Ok maybe the hellmouth bit was kind of scary but it was much better than spending the summer with the Dursley’s.
Harry was pulled from his thoughts as the bus pulled up. He, Ron and Hermione went and sat in the far back of the bus. They could barley contain their laughter as they watched as Snape had to literally drag Draco on the bus. Thankfully none of the other passengers seemed to think that it was something strange. Soon the bus started out on the road to Sunnydale and with the rhythmic roll of the bus Harry fell asleep.
Sirius who had been watching Harry felt his first moment of peace spread thru him as he saw Harry finally fall asleep and relaxed to get some rest himself before they reached their destination.
~~~*~~~
The group from Hogwarts woke up as the bus arrived in Sunnydale about two hours after they started their trip. It took them another half hour to find the hotel they were staying in. It wasn’t fancy but it would do for the weekend they would be spending there before the house they had rented was free to move into.
Of what little Harry had seen of the town so far he had a hard time believing that it was indeed a hellmouth. To him it seemed like any normal little town but then according to Sirius all the badies came out after sunset so he wouldn’t now yet, he, Ron, Hermione and the twins had every intension of finding that out for themselves. Hermione had been reluctant at first but together they had managed to convince her to join them, all they now had to do was make sure neither the professors nor Draco found out what they were up to.
“Harry, are you going to stand there all day or are you coming inside,” Lupin asked.
“I’m on my way just admiring the view,” he laughed nervously.
“Just make sure to be inside by sunset you can never be to careful here,” Lupin said as he walked into the hotel after the others.
Harry for his part started to feel the jetlag set in and decided that exploring the hellmouth had to wait another day. With a big yawn he turned and went in after his companions.
Next day
Willow and Buffy sat on a bench in the middle of the US Sunnydale campus when Xander came running up to them.
“Have you guys heard someone rented the Wakefield house for the summer?”
“You mean that half rundown place across town,” Buffy asked.
“Yeah that’s the one,” Xander nodded.
“That house always gives me the creeps,” Willow shuddered.
“Says the girl living with the undead,” Xander joked.
“You now what I mean Xander, when we were small you used to run past the house to get to Jesse’s because you were afraid that something would jump out of the gates and grab you,” Willow pointed out.
“Well I had good reason to believe that to didn’t I?, I mean just look at the town it’s a hellmouth for gods sake, okay so I didn’t know that then but I swear to God that there is something wrong with that house.”
“Knowing this town it’s probably placed on some old burial ground or something,” Buffy put in.
“You mean like in that movie Poltergeist.”
“Yeah thank you Xander that’s the one I meant.”
“Whatever it is I feel sorry for the ones that have to live there for an entire summer,” Willow said.
“Wait a minute isn’t that close to Crawford Street and your mansion Willow,” Buffy asked.
“Not really it’s like a block or two apart. We hardly ever go there. When I think about it not many people go there at all. Maybe the folks in this town are more observant than we thought?”
“Or they just see an abandon block like it actually is,” Buffy commented.
“I would love to stay and chat but I unlike some people have class in ten minutes and my professor will have my head if I’m late again,” Willow explained.
“Again Willow you never used to miss school even if you were sick how
you could possibly have been gone so much that your teacher noticed,” Xander
wondered.
“
Well I…I sleptinwithAngelandstayeduplatewithSpikeandthatmademeoversleepafewtimes,
she babbled before turning around and running to class.
“Wow I never believed I would see the day that Willow skipped school to be with her honey,” Buffy giggled.
“I’m starting to think that maybe Deadboy and JR aren’t too good for her.”
“Come of it Xander she’s in love she has all the right in the world to miss a few classes and it’s not like she can’t afford it either with her grades.”
To that she never got a replay as Xander walked of grumbling all the while to meat Anya for lunch.
~Part: 3~
“This is the house you have rented for us? It look’s like it’s about to fall down any second now,” Draco grumbled.
“Oh sod of would you Malfoy,” Ron sneered.
Snape had to hold Draco back as he was about to jump on Ron. He looked like he was about to rip the redheads throat out.
“Stop this at once both of you,” Snape demanded as he released Draco.
“It’s not that bad and it’s in an unpopulated area so we won’t be disturbed. Our closest neighbours are quite far away and if we are lucky we might go undetected by any of the dark creatures that live in this town,” Lupin explained.
“Oh,” Harry nodded as he watched Draco hang his head in embarrassment.
“Now why don’t we go and have a look around town while it’s still light out,” Sirius suggested. With that he took the lead and started walking in the direction of the more populated areas of town.
“Espresso pump! What the bloody hell is Espresso?” Draco wondered.
“It’s a kind of coffee,” Hermione said, at Draco's blank looked she continued. “It’s a muggle drink.” At that Draco nodded.
“Look over there it’s a magic shop,” Fred exclaimed.
“I didn’t think muggles knew about magic even if this is a hellmouth?” George said.
“They aren’t supposed to,” Sirius murmured. “Why don’t we take a closer look?” With their curiosities peeked they entered the shop.
Harry wondered what kind of magic shop this was there herbs, tarot cards and books were lying around everywhere.
“How can I help you spend your money,” Harry heard a cheery voice behind them, as he turned he was faced with a young woman.
“Anya” a cry came from the side as a man ran up to the girl.
“I’m sorry she didn’t mean that she wondered if she could help you with anything,” he quickly covered for the woman.
“What are you talking about Xander I meant what I said. I want to help them spend their money in here so you can go and buy me something pretty and I can give you thank-you sex tonight.”
“Anya! Do you remember that discussion we had about things that are not to be spoken of in public,” he asked as he turned red and Draco snickered while Sirius, Lupin, Snape and Hermione looked embarrassed.
“Oh this is one of those things. I thought that was my time as a…” She didn’t get to finish her sentence as the man clapped a hand over her mouth.
“If you would be so kind to excuse us I have to go and talk to my fiancé and if you need any help just call and someone will come,” he said before dragging the woman out back after him.
“That’s what muggles are like. Thank heavens I’m not one,” Draco whispered and for one Harry had to agree with him he would not like to have been that man.
After having a look around and deciding that there was nothing that they wanted they left the shop.
“Later tonight Serveus, Remus and I have decided that as we are on a hellmouth this would be an excellent opportunity for you to get a better knowledge in the DADA class, we have decided that we shall go out after dark but we will stay out of the most dangerous places like the cemetery and the park and see if we might be able to spot a vampire.” At that news they all cheered. Harry was so excited what if he got to see a real vampire that would be bloody marvels.
Later that night.
After Giles had found a prophecy, the Scooby gang minus the vampires had decided to check out the cemetery for a very bad smelling demon.
“Where was Deadboy and JR going again Wills?” Xander asked.
“They where going to pick up a book that had some very useful information on demons.”
“And when where they coming home. I mean if you want to you can come to my house and we can have a sleepover or something so you won’t have to live in the mansion by yourself,” Buffy asked.
“They were only going to be gone for a couple of day so don’t worry Buffy,” Willow smiled.
“There he is,” Anya suddenly shrieked. As they turned they could see it running away from them.
“Why is it running towards the street I thought you said it only liked dark places Giles,” Willow said.
“I honestly have no idea Willow,” Giles told her as they all ran after it.
At the same time across the street.
“P..professor,” Hermione stammered.
“What ?” Snape sneered.
“There’s a demon coming right towards us,” she screamed. That caught everyone’s attention. They all turned in time to see a blond woman run up to the demon and give it a vicious kick before cutting its head of all the while screaming at it for ruining her new dress.
“Way to go Buffy you sliced and diced,” they suddenly heard a shout.
“Thanks Xander,” the blond woman replied.
“Xander? Wasn’t that the man from the store earlier today,” Ron asked. To answer his question the man came out from a cemetery with the woman he had said was his fiancé before.
“Why don’t we go over there and find out what just happened,” Remus said. As they got closer they could see another older man and a woman who looked like she could be a Weasly come out from the same cemetery that Xander had left earlier. Last came the out spoken woman from the store.
“Damn he smells bad. What are we supposed to do with it G-man,” they could hear Xander say.
“We will have to burn it,” the answer came in a surprisingly English accent.
“Bloody hell,” Snape and Lupin suddenly swore and that apparently made the group before them realise that they where not alone.
“Who the hell are you?”
“I could ask you the same thing lady,” Snape countered.
“Bloody hell Severus is that you?” the older man asked.
“You know him Giles?” the red haired woman whispered as Snape nodded.
“We used to go to school together.”
“Ripper?” Sirius murmured.
“Indeed.”
“What the hell do you think you are doing to these children, I will not let you destroy them,” Snape shouted.
“Wowha there, who is trying to the destroy who?” Xander looked at Snape clearly confused.
“I could say the same thing for you Severus,” Giles smirked.
“I will have you know that I no longer follow the dark Lord.”
“Good, nether do I.”
“Is it only me that’s confused. What dark Lord and what are you talking about,” Xander fumed.
“Lord Voldemort is a dark wizard Xander and he has followers, I am not proud to admit that in my youth I was one of them as was Severus over there,” Giles confessed.
“Where is this Moldywort and when can I slay?” Buffy jumped at the opportunity for some action.
“It’s not that easy Buffy. Why don’t we go somewhere else and talk about this.”
“We can go to the mansion right Wills as you’ve got it all to yourself,” Xander asked the redhead.
“I don’t think that is a good idea Xan. Why don’t we go to the magic box instead?” The others nodded and they were on their way.
~~~*~~~
When they arrived and had all taken sits an uncountable silence came over the group.
Clearing his throat Giles began.
“Why don’t we start with an introduction.”
“I’m Serveus Snape,” the dark man that had been Giles’s friend said.
“I’m Remus Lupin,” another man said, but it was the dark-haired man on the couch that caught Willows attention. His eyes had not strayed from her since they had entered the store. Willow didn’t know why but it didn’t bother her like it should have done. It was like she knew him, she couldn’t put her finger on it but there was something familiar about him.
“I’m Sirius Black,” he said quietly. That got a reaction from Giles.
“Black! You let him close to children and you say that you’re not a death eater anymore.”
“Calm down Giles, Sirius here was proven innocent last year with the help of Harry over there,” Remus told him and pointed to Harry.
“Harry as in Harry Potter?” Giles questioned.
“Y..yes,” Harry stammered.
“I have a lot to thank you for but I feel this is not the time or the place for that,” Giles smiled at the boy. Well maybe not boy he could be only at most be two years younger than Willow herself.
“The red heads are Fred and George the twins and Ron their younger brother. The girl is Hermione Granger and the last one is Draco Malfoy,” Snape finished.
“Look at that Dragon guy he looks like a mini Spike,” Buffy whispered to her which caused Willow to giggle.
“I’m Rupert Giles”
“Buffy Summers”
“Xander Harris, but I think we have meet before and this is my fiancée Anya Emerson.”
“Willow Rosenberg” As she said her name she heard both Sirius and Remus gasp.
“Rosenberg is that your real name?” Sirius asked.
“No I’m adopted I don’t know what my real name is,” she blushed.
“Why did you ask her that,” Xander asked.
“I asked because I once had a little girl with the greenest eyes in the world and hair as red as strawberries. I had to give her up because I didn’t want her to get hurt. After that I never found her again. Her name was Willow.”
“Are you telling me that you could be my father?”
“Yes. There is a simple spell we can do and..” He was cut of before he could finish.
“That will have to wait till after we share stories,” Giles interrupted and Sirius nodded reluctantly.
“Can I ask how you cut of the demons head so easily Buffy.”
“Lupin was it?” after a nod she continued. “I’m the slayer it’s all in a days work.” At that all of the Hogwarts crew started laughing.
“Why is it that every time that I say that somebody starts laughing?” Buffy questioned. The others just shrugged.
“You mean it’s true!”
“Yes Dragon.”
“Draco.”
“Whatever.”
“If that’s true how do you others fit into this?” Snape wondered.
“I am Buffy’s watcher, Willow and Xander have been friends with Buffy since she first moved here in 1996 and have been helping her fight evil for the same amount of time.”
“How do you fight evil.”
“I’m a witch and Xander well he was possessed by an old army guy before and a hyena and he knows all this stuff, and then we have learned how to fight we had real good teachers too.” Willow babbled thinking of Angel and Spike but not daring to mention them if it turned out the others didn’t like vampires.
“You can do magic? What school did you go to?” Sirius smiled.
“School?”
“You mean you have never gone to school. Giles how could you let that happen,” Snape ground out.
“She didn’t show until really late which I blame the hellmouth for and Willow has a very special kind of magic.”
“How so?” Snape asked curiously.
“Willow is a wandless witch and a very powerful one at that.”
“How powerful?”
“More so than Voldemort himself?” That drew a gasp from the others while the Scooby’s didn’t seem at all shocked by Giles confession, as they had all witnessed a numerous amount of her spells not to mention that she had started her career in magic with a soul restoration.
“What of Anya did you start fighting after you meet Buffy too?”
“No I was a vengeance demon. I came here their last year of high school and they destroyed my power centre so my Boss D’Hoffryn made my mortal and then I fell in love with Xander.”
“What’s a vengeance demon?”
“I was granting wishes for women that had been wronged. One there was this one..”
“I think that’s enough Anya,” Xander said meaningfully.
“Yeah it’s your time to tell your story,” Buffy sang happily. And with that the Hogwarts gang started telling them about the wizarding world, which caused Willow to glare at Giles and about Voldemort and finally Harry’s story with how Sirius had gotten free and how Draco refused to become a death eater and had to hide from his dad and the rest of them had to hide from Voldemort so they had come here for the summer.
When they had finished telling the story it was well into the morning.
“Why don’t you come by tomorrow and we will take you patrolling,” Buffy suggested.
“Yes, can we. Please you said we could go today and now we have a slayer with us to protect us it has to be even better?” After a moments hesitation the grown-ups nodded.
“Sirius has to come anyway cause of the spell he and Willow had to do,” Buffy filled in. And so it was decided to meet the next evening at the magic box.
~Part: 4~
The next afternoon at the Magic box.
“Hello,” Willow greeted as the Hogwarts gang came through the door.
“Are you ready for the spell Willow?”
“Yes I have got everything set up I was only waiting for you,” she smiled at Sirius.
“Good lets get started then.”
After dropping some of their blood in a bowl and burning a few herbs both Willow and Sirius started glowing a soft blue light.
“Well it seems like the lost daughter has finally returned,” Lupin laughed.
Willow and Sirius spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know one another. The only thing that they didn’t discuss was the supernatural things in Willows life and her private life more than she mentioned a couple of friends. That left out anything that had to do with slaying and vampires and when Willow tried to tell Sirius about her new family he only said that they could discuss that when they had gotten to know and trust each other better so Willow kept silent.
When the dark finally fell they all headed out to one of the cemeteries.
It was a quiet night and they had only come across two fledglings, which Buffy had easily taken care of and the Hogwarts team had gotten their first glance of a real vampire. When Buffy suddenly stopped.
“What is it Buffster?” Xander asked.
“Something’s coming something strong.” That got everybody on edge. Suddenly Buffy spun around so quickly the others didn’t even see it coming.
“Watch it slayer you might poke somebody’s eye out with that thing,” a voice said.
“Your William the bloody,” Snape stammered once he got a good look at the bleached vampire.
“Heard of me mate,” Spike smirked shifting into game face and stalking close to the scared potions teacher.
“Stop showing of Spike,” another voice came from the bushes as a dark form stepped out.
“Bloody hell not Angelus to,” this came from Lupin as both he and Sirius stated to get worried. The slayer might be strong but this was two of the most feared vampires in history. Sirius’ fears went up even more as the dark haired vampire approached his daughter. Why didn’t the slayer do anything?
“You always ruin my fun peaches,” Spike grumbled as he walked up to Xander and slapped him on the back of his head.
“Moron.”
“Bleach brain.” And they continued throwing insults at one another.
“Hello little one,” Angel said as he reached Willow. Sirius could at the time only watch with the others and hope that they would all survive this meeting, that is until Willow threw herself into Angelus's arms and kissed him soundly on the mouth. Sirius could only stare; he didn’t understand what was going on.
“I take it you missed me,” Angel laughed as he sat Willow back down on the ground.
“Angel there is someone that I want you to meet.” When Willow turned to her father and his friends she found them all with open mouths staring at her.
Willow was about to say something when Spike and Xander could be heard at the same time.
“Willow he stole my last twinkie.”
“Mum he called me a softy.”
“Will you two shut up I don’t have time for your arguments now,” Willow shouted.
“Why did he call you mother and why were you kissing a vampire?” Sirius suddenly came out of his shock and fired questions at his daughter, who seemed all too familiar with this kind of thing for his liking.
~Part: 5~
“Dad I would like for you to meet Angel my boyfriend and Angel this is Sirius my father,” Willow said.
“It’s nice to meet you sir,” Angel answered, as he looked Sirius over.
“Darling you do know that your boyfriend is one of the most feared vampires in history,” Sirius choked out.
“Of course I have always known that, but his is just so cute that you can’t help but fall in love with him.”
“What do you mean you have always known, your best friend is the slayer isn’t it her job to protect you from these creatures. And you Giles why didn’t you stop this madness he could have her killed any time.”
“I know he could but he hasn’t and over time we have all learned to understand and accept that neither Angel or Spike would hurt Willow. In fact I know for sure that they would willingly give up their own lives to save her,” Giles commented smiling softly at the couple.
“You mean you actually allow this, have you gone mad. I would very much like to have some answers but I do not believe this is quite the place to have this discussion. Can we go somewhere a bit more comfortable,” Snape contributed.
“ Fine we can go to our mansion but you have to promise that you will not hurt either Angel or Spike,” Willow coincided.
“YOU LIVE WITH THEM!!!” Sirius shouted.
“Shut your bleeding mouth your giving me a headache mate and mum do we have to play nice,” Spike whined.
“Yes you do and that was not very nice Spike apologise to my father at once.”
“No bloody way mum I’m not apologising to that idio…I mean very nice man Red.” Spike hastily said under Willow’s dangerous glare.
With that Angel and Willow took the lead towards their home followed closely by a suspicious Sirius, an annoyed Snape and Lupin and a still bickering Spike and Xander. The others followed a little slower finding it safer to stay away from the threatening sounds that Sirius was making.
As they were walking Draco slid up next to Buffy.
“Where did you learn to fight like that it was bloody amazing and the way you felt those two over there,” he said with awe in his voice as he motioned over to Spike and Angel.
“Giles taught me some of what I know Angel and Spike helped though reluctantly on Spike side and the rest just comes with being a slayer. What about you are you any good with that ?” She asked still exited after the fight while pointing to Draco’s wand.
“I will have you know that I’m very good with that,” he stated proudly.
“Or at least he think he is,” Ron butted in having overheard the entire conversation.
“O shut up Weasel why don’t you go back to your know it all girlfriend,” Draco hissed as Hermione turned red.
“You like books too Hermione? Cool Willow loves books. I remember one time when Angel and Willow had just gotten together and Xander, Anya and me came back to Giles after patrol and it sounded like someone was screaming for help. Anyway we burst in there thinking some one’s in danger and we find Angel, Giles and Willow shouting at each other over which is the best Dickens novel. They looked at us as if we wear crazy when we asked what was going on and started laughing our asses of over the picture they made. They later said that we just didn’t appreciate the real value of books and then Giles made us go over and restack all of his books and let me tell you there were a lot of books. After that day I have learned to appreciate books much better,” Buffy told the Hogwarts teens.
“That’s totally understandable, you should hear about all the things that our mother has made us do,” George added while Fred nodded his head agreeing with his brother.
“But you usually deserved what you got coming for all the pranks you pull I’m amazed that Mrs. Weasley hasn’t gone mad yet,” Harry murmured as the others laughed.
“Well it looks like we finally have arrived,” Buffy exclaimed as they came to a stop in front of a large mansion.
“Welcome everyone to our home.” Willow’s voice sounded from somewhere in front of them.
