The Promise
"We can't stop the bleeding," The doctor said.
"Xander," Buffy whispered.
"We can't save her," The doctor said as they stepped away.
Seeing that Xander ran in.
"What's going on?" Xander asked.
"We can't stop the bleeding," The doctor said. "I'm sorry."
Then the medical staff left the two to themselves.
"Xander," Buffy whispered again.
"I'm here Buff," Xander said.
"I need you to do something," She said and Xander nodded. "In my bottom dresser drawer there's a dark brown journal. In there's an address for Remus Lupin. Give him the journal."
"Who is he?" Xander asked.
"My dad. Tell him I love him," Buffy said then she closed her eyes.
3 months later.................
All was quiet in the hallways of Number 12 Grimmauld Place. The kids were desperately trying to hear what the Order was having a meeting about.
"You're staying a wicca witch almost ended the world and a muggle stopped her by saying I love you?" McGonagall said.
"Yes," Moody said. "But that's not the most interesting part.The two were best friends, and also best friends with the Slayer who was killed the day before."
"What?" Remus asked.
"Some guy who she'd stopped from robbing a bank earlier came in her backyard with a muggle gun and shot her. They always said 3rd time's a charm," Moody said then the doorbell rang waking Mrs. Black in the hallway.
Mrs. Weasley got up and opened the door to reveal a boy standing in the rain. His hair was black and all over the place reminding her of Harry.....a lot actually. He was an older version of Harry with a little bit different facial features that sort of reminded her of Lily, but it couldn't be.
"Yes?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Is Remus Lupin here?" the boy asked.
"Who's asking?" Mrs. Weasley said.
"Sorry, maam. Name's Xander Harris. Could you just give him this," Xander said taking out a journal and handing it to Mrs. Weasley. "Tell him it's from Buffy Summers."
"I'll be sure he gets it," Mrs. Weasley said.
"And tell him, her last words were that she loved him," Xander said then gave a small smile before walking out in the rain.
Mrs. Weasley looked after the boy suspiciously, but she closed the door and walked back into the room where the order was waiting. She handed Remus the journal then sat.
"What's this?" Remus asked.
"A boy told me to give it to you. It's from Buffy Summers," Mrs. Weasley said shrugging when he looked at her.
"Why'd the slayer want to give that to you?" Moony said.
"Bloody Hell," Remus muttered getting up and walking outside.
He saw Xander turning the corner and took off after him. When he finally caught up he turned Xander around.
"How'd you know her?" Remus asked.
"She was my best friend. I promised her," Xander said.
"You were there when she died?" Remus asked.
"All 3 times," Xander said with a small smile.
"Thank you," Remus said.
Xander gave Remus his trademark goofy grin that made Remus stop a minute. That was a total James look.
"No problem. Good luck with whatever you were doing in that creepy house," Xander said walking off again.
"Hey wait!" Remus yelled after him. "You adopted?"
That got Xander to freeze and slowly turn around.
"Why'd you ask and how'd you know?" Xander asked.
"Do you know what you're birth dad's name was?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. James Potter. Mom was some chick named Lily Evans or sumptin like that. Look I gotta go. I'm meeting a friend," Xander said walking off and leaving Remus in shock.
"Bloody hell. It's the missin' kid," Remus muttered.
"We can't stop the bleeding," The doctor said.
"Xander," Buffy whispered.
"We can't save her," The doctor said as they stepped away.
Seeing that Xander ran in.
