My New Fic – the Dawn of a new era
In my story, it'll be set during season 5 of Buffy, no exact episode, just that her mum is dead but they are kinda over the heavy grieving and Glory isn't really there yet (I no that's totally mucked up the time line but bear with me for the purpose of my fic) and for Harry Potter, after book 5, the Order of the Phoenix, but for the sake of my story please:
pretend Sirius didn't die,
Dawn is 16 and so is Harry and his year at school (which I think they are anyway)
Buffy is 20ish, which I think she is in the series to
Spike likes Buffy and she doesn't really no about her feelings for him
And they all no about Dawn being the Key but not bout the whole Glory/God thing coz she aint there yet.
Thanks!
Chapter one: Freaky Owls…
"Dawn, hurry up! I have to get you to school on time, so get down stairs and eat your break fast!" Buffy yelled up the stairs to her younger sister's room. She couldn't understand it, but Dawn always took the longest to get ready to get to school in the mornings.
"Hey, Buffy! Come up here! There's this freaky owl sitting outside my window!" Dawn yelled back down.
"Dawn, stop stalling, you're gonna be late!" Buffy yelled back up at her sisters room, not appreciating the diversion; she had a test today and was obviously trying to get out of it.
"Buffy, I'm serious!" she whined back down the stairs.
Buffy rolled her eyes and started up the stairs. When she got to her sisters room, Buffy's eyes widened as she saw a white snow owl perched on a branch right outside her sisters room looking at them.
"See, I was telling the truth!" Dawn said triumphantly.
"Okay, well, as weird as that is, you're still going to school." Buffy replied sternly as she took hold of Dawns arm and started leading her out of the door and down the stairs.
"What do you think an owls doing here in the middle of the day?" she asked Buffy though a mouthful of cereal.
"I dunno." Buffy replied, more concerned that they were running late to school, again.
As
Dawn ate her breakfast, day dreaming of what she'll do on the
Christmas break since it is the last week of school, Buffy sifted
through the mail her mother brought in earlier. She reached a
yellowed envelope and read it was addressed to Dawn.
"Dawn, this one's for you," she said as she handed the letter to sister.
Her sister looked a little shocked, she rarely got mail. "Huh, that's weird," Dawn observed.
"What is?" Buffy asked, looking up from flipping through the rest of the mail.
"There's no stamp, how'd it get here if it's got no stamp?" Dawn asked.
"That is weird, unless it
was hand posted by the sender." she suggested with a shrug.
"C'mon, open it!" she hurried her sister as she stood over
her shoulder, curious.
Dawn tore open the letter, and as she read through it, her eyes widened with every line.
Dear Miss Summers,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this letter is enclosed a list of required equipment needed to attend Hogwarts you will need to purchase and we look forward to receiving a reply from you.
Term one begins the 28th January. We await your owl by no later than the 27th of January.
Yours sincerely,
Albus
Dumbledore.
As was noted in the letter, inside the envelope was another page with a list of books and equipment needed. However, they were really strange things, and included a cauldron, a wand and books that you'd usually find in Giles' store the Magic Box.
"What the heck! Is this for real!?" Dawn asked her older sister, confused because of how ridiculous it sounded.
Buffy looked at the curly handwritten ink writing again, puzzled. If this is a practical joke, it really isn't funny, but who could it be from?"I highly doubt its real, it's probably someone pulling your leg, now we're really running late so get your bag and scoot!" Buffy hurried her sister out the kitchen door.
---
As Dawn rushed upstairs to
grab her backpack, she saw the owl still seated at the window and as
she entered, it hooted at her. She frowned at it curiously, the owl
seemed to have a gleam of intelligence in its eyes.
She shook her head as Buffy yelled up the stairs to hurry, and paused for a second wondering what to do with the letter.
She chose to put it on her desk for further examination, just in case, rather than throwing it out and grabbed her bag and ran down stairs to school, ready to fail a maths exam.
