Title: More Than a Witch

Summary/Time Lines: What if Buffy had always been a witch and lived in England, where she had found out about Slayers before she became one? I'm having Buffy going to Hogwarts with Charlie and Bill and such, but don't worry, everyone else will be added in there. So obviously this is AU because I'm messing with both stories quite a bit, but it should turn out well and make sense. Also if I've got the amount of years that the Weasley children are apart in age and at school wrong I'm very sorry.
Author's Note: Well here's the story. Hope you enjoy. Also please read and review. I'm open for constructive criticism, but please no flames.

The Letter
11-year-old Charlie Weasley sat outside on the front steps of his home, the Burrow, looking into the sky and waiting. It was a fine summer day, not hot, but not cold. There was a bit of a breeze that made leaves and stray chicken feathers blow about the driveway. Charlie sighed and looked up at his house. It had about 6 different levels that were all built on top of each other; jutting out in different directions. The house looked as if it would topple over any minute. It probably would; that is if it wasn't for the magic holding it up. He ran his fingers through his fiery red hair and again looked at the sky; nothing. He sighed and looked toward the pigpen and watched two pigs wrestling. Just as Charlie looked away from the squealing pigs he heard footsteps on gravel. He whipped his head back around and saw his neighbor, Buffy, running up his driveway.
"Charlie! I got my letter! I got my letter!" she cried running past the squealing pigs, blonde hair flying.
Charlie shot up off the step and met her half way up the drive. He stopped as Buffy came skidding to a halt in front of him.
"See!" she squeaked, brandishing the letter in his face.
"Open it!" Charlie prodded.
"Did you get yours yet?" Buffy asked while breaking the purple seal on the faded parchment.
"No, not yet. That's why I'm sitting out here."
"Oh."
Buffy quickly read the letter and read it again. Each time she read it her smile grew. Finally Charlie sighed and poked her in the side, "Lemme see!"
"Oh! Oh yeah!" Buffy quickly handed over the letter to Charlie.
Charlie looked down at the graceful writing in emerald green ink. Except before he could read anything he heard Buffy giggling and squealing in delight.
"What is it?" he asked darkly looking up from the paper, upset about being interrupted.
"It's Errol!" Buffy said pointing into the sky.
Charlie looked up and sure enough there was and owl flying right toward him. Charlie then saw that Errol wasn't slowing down. "Uh oh.." He thought to himself. He watched to see Errol diving right for him and Buffy.
"Get down!" he yelled throwing himself on top of Buffy and they crashed to the ground.
Charlie looked up and saw Errol shove his claws out, trying to buffer himself against the wind so he could slow down, and plow right through where Buffy's head was moments ago. Errol then crashed into the side of their shed. Charlie and Buffy stood up when they saw the bird crash to the ground. Charlie ran over and picked up the letters, not really caring out the bird. Buffy on the other hand picked Errol up and set him on the fence surrounding the pigpen. Charlie grabbed the second letter since Bill's Hogwarts letter was on top and quickly ripped it open. He quickly read through it and then raced to the door calling, "Mum! Mum! I got it!" Buffy picked up Bill's letter and quickly scampered after him.
"Goodness Charlie, what is it?" Mrs. Weasley asked as Charlie raced through the door, trailed by Buffy, "Oh, hi Buffy dear."
"Hullo Mrs. Weasley," Buffy chirped sweetly.
"I got my letter," Charlie supplied for his mother.
"Really? That's great honey! Later on today tell me what you need and then we'll go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Buffy, would you and your mother like to come with us?"
"Sure! Thanks! I'll tell her about it tonight."
"OK, we'll meet you at your house tomorrow morning."
"C'mon lets go out back," Charlie said grabbing Buffy's wrist.
"While you're out there de-gnome the garden!" Mrs. Weasley called as they headed out the door.
Buffy always loved the Weasley's backyard. It was full of magical plants and creatures. They also had a lot of land further behind the house. Out there, there was a big hill where Charlie, Bill, and Buffy would play Quidditch and Percy would be on the ground shouting at them and complaining because they wouldn't let him play.
"Quidditch! Me play! Charlie! Bill!" Percy would whine.
Charlie and Bill's answer would always be, "You're too little Perce, you have to be older than 2 to play."
At this Percy would walk off in a huff, head hung and his glasses practically falling off of his face.
Buffy laughed thinking about it and walked over to the garden. Charlie walked up next to her and they both stood there, completely quiet, watching for any sign of movement. Buffy saw Charlie twitch and a second later he dove on top of a gnome. He picked the gnome up by its legs, swung it around and let it go flying into a field. Charlie turned back to say something to Buffy and found her staring at him in awe.
"What?" he questioned, definitely confused.
"Wow, that was fast. I didn't even notice the gnome was there."
Charlie immediately turned bright red and looked at the ground. Buffy laughed and looked at the garden. She grinned and then dove for a gnome. She too grabbed it by its feet and threw it over the fence into the field.
"Not bad yourself Summers," Charlie laughed.
It was now Buffy's turn to turn red. She looked at Charlie and then looked at the garden to see if there were anymore gnomes. Charlie broke the silence; "They all seem to be gone. Let's go look at our letters."
Charlie and Buffy then went to sit at the table in the backyard and look at their letters.
"Awww, aren't they cute?" a voice called.
Buffy and Charlie whipped around to see who was talking; it was Bill. Bill had his shoulder length red hair in a ponytail. His dragon claw earring (which his mum hated) was swinging back and forth as he walked over to them. He sat down in a chair and put his feet up on the table.
"How are you two little lovebirds?" Bill crowed.
"Shut up Bill," Charlie growled.
"Hi Bill," Buffy laughed.
"Now where's my letter?" Bill asked poking Charlie in the side.
Charlie let out a yelp that startled the birds that were sitting in the trees. Bill quickly looked over at the window and sighed gratefully. Charlie spotted Bill's behavior and wondered why he was acting this way.
"What're you looking for?"
"Nothing, just making sure you didn't upset mum," Bill answered.
"How would I upset her?"
"She's crabby, guess being pregnant makes you that way."
With this Bill and Charlie looked at Buffy. Buffy's eyes widened in shock and her mouth fell open, "What? How would I know? Don't look at me."
Before anyone could say anything else they were footsteps running toward them. They all looked up and saw a 2-year-old Percy running toward them, well more of a waddle than a run. Hi s glasses were tottering at the end of his nose, perilously close to fall off. His red hair was combed perfectly straight and was reflecting the sunlight.
"Lunch! Lunchy time!" he squeaked.
Buffy stood up and said, "Well I better go."
"No! Buffy stay! Eat lunch!"
With this they all laughed. Bill reached out and swung Percy up onto his shoulders. Percy giggled and called, "Horsey!"
They all tramped into the house and took a seat around the table. Mrs. Weasley brought over 4 empty plates and set them in front of each of them. She then brought over a big plate full of sandwiches, a plate with fruits and vegetables, and a plate full of desserts.
