Sweet Summers in Sunnydale
Disclaimer: Anything you recognise belongs to someone else
Summary: Xover between Harry Potter and Buffy, Harry is sent to Sunnydale in the summer for protection.
Take place after "the Gift" but Buffy isn't dead she survived somehow everything else is the same and the summer after GoF in Harry Potter. May be a Harry/Dawn fic just going to see were the story takes me.

Hogwarts
Professor Dumbledore's Office
The old man that was Proffesor Dumbledore sat with the tips of his fingers pressed together to form an arc as he thought out the situation surrounding young Mr. Potter. He severally doubted that the Dursleys would provide a suitable environment for someone who had undergone the emotional stress that Harry had during the Triwizard Tournament.
He reached across the table towards the letter from Mrs. Weasley asking for Harry to spend some if not all of the summer holidays at the Burrow. However Dumbledore was reluctant of this, as he could not guarantee Harry safety as it was too obvious and so Voldemort may come after him while Harry was at his most unprotected.
He put the letter down with a sigh, in fact he was unwilling to let Harry stay at any Magical household at all. As most Witches and Wizards viewed Harry as either a Saviour, an emotional distort young man, or thanks to one Rita Skeeter, mental unstable. And with Voldemort returned to power it was difficult to know who to trust anymore.
Therefore he needed to find someone who would help Harry through this highly emotional period, was somewhere that was totally unexpected, and somewhere where Voldemort or any other member of the magical community wouldn't look and bother Harry. But most of all the person that Harry would stay with would have to be able to protect Harry and more importantly have Professor Dumbledore's complete trust.
Slowly a small smile slid across his face as he reached across his desk for a blank piece of parchment and an inkbottle. Soon the only sound to be heard in the office was the noise of a Quill starching across a piece of parchment.
Rupert Giles Apartment
Sunnydale
Rupert Giles flipped through the letters, that he had found in a pile, that morning as he ate his toast.
"Bill...Junk...You may have won $1,000...Bill...Hello what's this?" Giles thought as he found a hand written envelope. He quickly slit it open with the butter knife that he had wiped clean, unfolded the letter and started to read with a piece of toast halfway to his mouth. That stayed there as he continued to read wide-eyed in amazement.
His hand shook slightly as he put the letter down onto the table and stared off into space thinking that arose from the letter. He was woken from his thoughts abruptly as the phone rang
"Hello" Giles said in a Dazed tone
"Giles why are you still at home, the shop was supposed to have opened 5 minutes ago" came Anya anxious voice over the phone
"What...Oh yes Anya take the day off, I wont be opening the shop today, I have something to think about" Giles said making a quick decision
Giles quickly hung up the phone and returned to staring at the letter as if it was a new sort of Demon.
"Albus Dumbledore" He thought "I haven't heard from him for a few years, and now he is asking me to look after a Teenager" Giles thought in horror. He slowly re-read through the letter trying to understand why Dumbledore asked him to look after this child over the summer.
After reading the letter and the brief summary of the life of the young man that Dumbledore asked him to look after, Giles resigned himself to the fact that he couldn't live with himself if he didn't at least try to help this 'Harry Potter' who had already in only fourteen year faced so much. It put Giles in mind of his slayer, Buffy Summers, who has faced Demon and Monsters that no young woman should have, all to protect the 'innocents'.
With a small sigh Giles quickly wrote out a letter claiming that he was willing to take care of Harry Potter for the summer. He then put the letter into the envelope, as he was instructed to in the letter from Dumbledore, closed it, and the placed it on the table.
Giles leaned back into his chair as he watched as the letter slowly evaporated into nothingness. "Magic" he thought as he touched the space the letter had once occupied on the table, an amazed look on his face that he was pleased no one else saw.
Kings Cross Station
Platform 9
London
Harry stepped through the gateway of platform 9 and 3/4 onto platform nine with his two best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger either side of him. They all started walking toward Mr and Mrs Weasley and the rest of the Weasley clan. Ron and Hermione casting quick glances at Harry, when they thought he wasn't looking, to check if he was okay.
When they had gotten close enough all the Weasleys swarmed towards them and pulled them into the close-knit group.
"Are you okay Harry?" was the first question passed Mrs Weasley lips
"I'm fine" Harry said, which was a lie, he wasn't fine. He was dreading another summer at the Dursleys especially after what had happened.
Mr and Mrs Weasley looked as if they didn't believe him but didn't press him.
Suddenly Harry saw an old man dressed rather flamboyantly in a emerald Green suit with a bright red sash, which had small purple diamonds on it, around his waist start heading towards their little group and it was only when he got closer when he realised who it was.
"Pr...Professor Dumbledore?" Harry stammered
"Ah...Harry, may I speak with you in private regarding your living arrangements over the summer" Professor Dumbledore stated as he got close enough.
"Oh...Yeah" Harry said as he cast a hopeful look in the direction of the Weasleys
Professor Dumbledore quickly squashed the rising bud of hope in Harry's chest by saying "I'm afraid that you cannot stay with the Weasleys, Harry, as it isn't safe enough for you there. I will see the rest of you at the start of term"
"See you at the start of term then" Harry said uncertainly to the Weasleys and Hermione.
Professor Dumbledore led Harry into a small café and sat down at a table in the back, gesturing to the chair opposite him for Harry to sit down.
Once Harry sat down Dumbledore started to explain why he had asked to talk to Harry.
"Harry I understand that you are not looking forward to your summer with your family - Oh thank you I'll have a pot of tea and a slice of Lemon Sorbet" He paused as he placed his order with the waitress that just came up and kept staring at Professors Dumbledore's suit.
The waitress quickly wrote it down and turned to Harry "and you?" she asked
"Err...I'll have a coke" said Harry glancing at the menu
"Anything to eat?" she responded jotting it down
"Err" Harry quickly looked at Dumbledore, who nodded whilst smiling, before taking a longer look at the menu "I think I'll have...a plate of chips please"
"Anything else" the waitress asked
"No thank you" Harry replied
"I just get your drinks, but the food will be five minutes" she told them
Professor Dumbledore waited until the waitress placed the drinks in front of them before continuing.
"Thank you - As I was saying I understand that you are not looking forward to your summer with the Dursley's. However as I said before, it is not safe enough for you to stay with either Mr. Ronald Weasley or Miss Hermione Granger. It could put you or them in danger if Voldemort found out you were staying with them."
"In fact I am quite reluctant to let you stay anywhere in the magical community due to your fame you would soon be located by any of Voldemort's Death Eaters that are looking for you - Thank you, may we have the bill please" he said as the waitress returned with their food her eyes still fixed on Professors Dumbledore's strange attire.
"Therefore I have contacted an old muggle friend of mine, and he is willing to take care of you over the summer. He lives in an area where Voldemort will not think to look for you and if you got into any trouble he or one of his associates will be able to protect you. Nevertheless it is still your decision whether to stay with him or not"
"Now I want you to think carefully before you decide as if you stay with him you will have to cut off all ties to the magical community until I send someone to pick you up, That means no letters to anyone in the Magical Community including Miss Hermione Granger or Mr Ronald Weasley. Now eat up before you decide"
Harry sat in deep thought as he slowly ate his chips "A summer without the Dursley's... Bliss, but a summer without contact with Ron or Hermione as well. So it either a summer some muggle 'friend' of Dumbledore that I don't know with no contact what-so-ever with Ron or Hermione. Or a summer with the Dursley's were I'll be able to see... well at least I be able to write to Ron and Hermione"
"Professor Dumbledore, If I stay with the Dursley's will I be able to see Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked
"Well you will not be able to go and see them at their house, however with your families permission I see no reason why they could not come and see you" Professor Dumbledore answered Harry
At this Harry grimaced thinking that by the time Vernon Dursley allowed Wizards or Witch's come round to his house would be the day Dudley would actually fit into and wear a size 10 skimpy black dress and stilettos singing Britany Spears songs.
Harry reached down for another chip and found his fingers scraping the plate.
"So Harry I'm sorry to have to rush you but have you made your decision" Dumbledore asked hurrying Harry along
"Will I be able to tell Ron and Hermione why they wont hear from me all summer"
"Of course" Dumbledore said kindly
"Well anything better than the Dursley's" Harry thought, and so answered Dumbledore's original question with a slow "Okay..."
"Also it would be good to be able to get away from it all anyway" he thought.
Well that's it for now I just wanted to get this part up ASAP
I know not much from the Sunnydale gang but next Harry will travel to Sunnydale and meet Giles and the rest of the Scooby Gang
