Summary:
Xander has had a lot of stuff happen to him over the years, but this was something new...what is Xander going to do with a Toddler? whats this about Magic? And what is poor Andrew getting into.
Notes:
this story is going to be a bunch of Ficlet's If someone wants to take my idea and do something with it, I think that would be awesome… Just to clarify some stuff this will most likely be AU, I don't really know about time lines (they give me a headache), Tara will still be alive, and Kennedy/willow Never happened (I don't Like Kennady) and as far as Dumbledore knows Harry is still with Petunia, Now how the Family Relation thingy works. Jessica's Older Brother is Lily and Petunia's Father, Making Lily and Petunia Xanders cousins and that makes Harry Xanders second cousin. And since they both have the same Grandfather it makes them blood relatives, (Granted not as strong as if he was with Petunia.)

Chapter Text
Well this was something new, not that Xander knew what to do about it.
Really what was he supposed to do?
For someone called "the one who sees" Xander sure did not see this coming… his cousin's little boy. Harry could not be more than two years old… more importantly what was he going to do with a toddler in Africa?
Poor Lilly, her and James dying the way they did… the entire thing was ridiculous. One note said that they died in an explosion, while the other said they were murdered by an evil wizard the only survivor was their son Harry. The one time he got to meet Lilly and James was shortly after they got married, in-between assignments in Africa, He liked them both, but thought James a bit weird in his mannerisms.
To make matters worse his other cousin Petunia, Refused to take the boy. He meet her once thinking it would be awesome to meet all the relatives from his mom's side… but no her husband and her where almost as bad as his parents.
Xander shuddered while he thought about that disaster, he hoped he would never have to repeat it. The only reason Petunia knew where he even worked was because her husband had asked about Xanders job. Needless to say it didn't go over well and after dinner Xander made a quick getaway. That was over three years ago and He had not heard from them since. At least not until Petunia found Harry on her front porch at her house, she immediately took him to the NWASC were she dropped Harry off with Andrew and left saying she would not "raise a freak."
So here Xander was at 23 years old, one eyed, and a demon hunter; who lived in Morocco; glaring at Andrew while one of his slayers played and cued at his second cousin…
"You can't be serious!" Xander said while walking around the room "I can't take care of him, I'm out in the desert half the time," Spinning to look at Andrew, Xander frowned "That's no place for a baby what was Giles thinking sending him here."
Andrew, looking really nervous said "the letter that was with Harry said he had to be with a blood relative to be safe."
"We are only second cousins, Andrew how is that blood related?" Xander interrupted
Andrew gave Xander a look that was not helpful, "from what said Petunia and Lilly are your mother's nieces, that does make Harry related by blood, maybe not as strong."
Taking a big breath Andrew went on "Plus, Willow was there when the kid was dropped off and she said to get him to you as fast as possible and something about black magic."
Xander let out a long sigh… "Black Magic this is just getting better, did she say anything else? like what Am I supposed to do with him? Plus I know nothing about kids, let alone little ones."
Andrew wished (not that he would say it out loud) he was somewhere else right now, but since he had no choice Andrew told Xander "I'm sure Giles and Willow will think of something, but for now you are to stay at the school here in Morocco, since this is where you have lived for the last couple years." Andrew wanted to pout "I also will be staying here to help you with Harry, according to Willow he has a Magical ability that is of the non-earth kind, I'm to help teach him so that he doesn't blow stuff up."
"Blow stuff up?" Xander looked over to Harry and his slayer, the kid was letting out all sorts of giggles. He gave Andrew another look "yeah that looks like a kid who can blow stuff up."
Andrew really did pout this time, "Dawn made Harry lunch to try and get him to stop crying, something that she tries to calls food, well Harry did not like it at all and it blow up all over the ceiling, which I had to clean up."
Xander rubbed his eye. "Guess I have no choice then, very well I supposed I should say welcome to Morocco Andrew and I hope you like it here." Xander grinned "but I think we both know this is going to be rather difficult." That being said Xander walked over to Harry and the slayer Cheikh Lo.
"Hey there little guy, I'm your cousin Xander and I guess you're staying here with me from now on."
Harry looked up at Xander with a toothy grin and raised his arms.
So Xander picked him up, looking the kid over Xander saw clear green eyes, messy black hair and a lighting shaped scar. He was adorable; Xander knew he would not let anything else happen to this kid
'Evil wizard huh, well if that evil wizard ever gets close to this kid again he won't know what hit him.'
After all this is only the start of a new beginning
