LOST PAST, FOUND

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything to do with Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Harry Potter (pouts and crosses finger that I might someday). absolutly no prophet made from this story, written purely for my own and others enjoyment.

Authors Notes: -this is my first chapter fic and only the second piece of work I've ever written so I apologize for any (a lot, I'm not a good speller thank god for spell check!) spelling mistakes or grammar errors, if anyone is interested in giving me tips or even criticism I'd welcome it. I've been reading Fanfiction for about two and a half years now and keep coming up with ideas, I can just never seem to get them out properly, so I decided to just try anyway, and now I'm rambling, anyway, please review if you have any comments I'd love to hear them.

- this story is a crossover of the Harry Potter and Buffy fandoms. Two things I'm very passionate about 'grins'. Okay, so this starts off before Buffy moves to Sunnydale, so unfortunately there wont be any of the scoobies in it, and I haven't yet decided if ill add them later on, I guess we'll have to wait and see what my muse comes up with, lol. Its just after the Goblet Of Fire, the fourth book/movie whatever your familiar with. And is set before Order of the Phoenix. I'm gonna go a bit AU from there, and hope I don't ruin anything good. This first chapter is quite short, I apologize I'm still getting the hang of this, Okay here it is, hope you enjoy. 

Chapter One

Over the last three months Buffy had gotten used to her life being anything but normal. Because for the last ninety days she hadn't been a normal fifteen year old girl. She'd lost all of her "popular" friends when she'd had to start spending her nights killing the undead instead of doing "normal" teenage things like shopping, gossiping and partying. She was behind on all of her studies for school and her parents had started to notice her strange behavior. She didn't want to lie to them, but she knew her parents. They were very closed minded especially her father, he was very conventional. He didn't like things out of the ordinary And she knew for a fact that if she told them that she was ' The Chosen One' that she was 'the Slayer' well they would not take that very well at all. No, if she were bto tell her father the truth than he would most defiantly put her in a mental institution or put bars on her bedroom window or something drastic along those lines. She knew that she was trying to take on to much at once but what else could she do? She had to make sure she got her homework done, make it to slayer training with Merick, nightly patrols, try to do a few things with her so called 'friends' as well as have time to spend time at home with her parents so they didn't think she was out causing trouble. Life officially sucked!

Buffy silently crept up to her bedroom window from the outside and slid it open. Climbing into her room after a hard night patrolling with her Watcher, Merick all she felt like doing was dropping not so gracefully onto her bed and sleeping for a week. But unfortunately her parents (meaning her father, Grrr) were coming down hard on her after she missed a class last week, due to a nest of demons that snacked on homeless people, and of course being The Slayer, it was her 'duty" to get rid of them. Which of course meant she had to deal with her parents wrath.

So it was with the idea of doing some of her homework that she stepped out into the hall to retrieve her school bag from downstairs in the lounge room, when she herd her parents arguing. This was not unusual lately, her parents had been fighting a lot more than usual but when she heard her name mentioned she decided she wanted to know what was going on. So she sat on the stairs to eavesdrop and listened to her parents who must have been in the kitchen.

"Hank, she's just going through a rebelious stage, im sure it will pass" Joyce Summers said gently as she could to her obvously irate husband.

"How do you know that? for all we know she could be out there doing god only knows what, with god only knows who! i mean its not like she takes after me at all is it? probably inherited that bloody abnormal-ness from you!!" Hank Summers practically spat at his wife. "I cannot believe you just threw that in my face! how dare you! You knew who i was when you married me. You always knew there was a very good chance of Buffy being a little more like me than you in that aspect. For gods sake Hank, get over it!!" Joyce practically screamed back, now seething with anger.

At hearing that Buffy moved a bit closer to the room they were in. What on earth did her dad mean by abnormal? she wasnt any different than him...that he knew of, and as far as she could tell her mother was perfectly normal, almost to perfect sometimes. but besides that, what a strange thing to sccuse her of. she stopped her internal musing when she realised her parents were still talking, so she stopped to listen again.

AN; Okay that's it so far. I know its not all that interesting yet but I don't want to put to much at once. Ill try to update as often as possible.
