Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Buffy or Harry Potter much to my displeasure. This story is just me borrowing the genius that is Buffy and Harry.

A/N: Okay this takes place after Buffy defeated the Master and she runs away to Las Vegas because she couldn't get over dieing so she would be like 16 years old in this story, oh and her and Angel never dated. As for the ti,eline in the Harry Potter series this takes place after 7th year making Harry 17 at the beginning of the story since this begins around the middle of June. Thanx...

Finding Love

It was finally over, Voldemort was gone and he was finally free to live a normal life Harry just wasn't sure how anything could feel right again. So many people were dead; Sirius, Dumbledore, Seamus, Percy though that didn't faze him as much as the others, Ginny, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Dursley's , and many others. It was a wonder how lucky he was when it came to not loosing many of his close friends. Harry didn't know what he would do without Ron and Hermione.

"Harry," called a concerned voice from behind him. "How are you doing?"

"Fine its just hard to believe that its finally over," he responded gazing out into the distance as Hermione and Ron stood behind him just like they've always done.

"Well its about bloody time isn't it," stated Ron a dark shadow crossing his face. "I couldn't take loosing anyone else."

"None of us could," Hermione replied walking over to her fiance as she tried to comfort him over the loss of Ginny not that any of them would soon recover from her brutal murder in front of their very own eyes just days before the end of the war.

"Is anything ever going to go back to normal?" asked Harry as he stood from the bench he had been sitting on and turned to face the two people who had been with him through it all.

"When has it ever been normal," came the voice of Remus Lupin as he strolled up to the trio with a wry smile planted on his prematurely aged face. Ron and Hermione this as their time to swiftly exit leaving Remus to have the talk with Harry that they knew was coming.

"What is it Remus?" questioned Harry. He knew that Remus wanted to talk with him a conversation Harry didn't want to have.

"Your not okay are you," was all Remus said not as a question but as a statement. Harry had never been able to get anything past him.

"I don't know what you mean. Considering what has happened I am doing splendedly," came the younger mans response as he looked anywhere but at his old teacher and friend.

"Get away Harry."

"What?" questioned Harry not quite sure he had heard correctly.

"Take a vacation away from everything. You and I both know staying here will kill you," Remus told him as he placed his hands on Harry's shoulders looking into his sad green eyes.

"I can't just leave! What about Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasley's?" Harry asked lookig back at the crooked house that he had come to love as his own.

"They can take care of themselves for the summer. They are not your responsibility."

"Then where will I go? Where would I stay?" Harry asked not wanting to believe that leaving would be that easy.

"You can go anywhere you want Harry and I am sure you can find a hotel or apartment for an acceptable rate," Remus said smiling as he led Harry back to the house knowing that he had won, Harry would take a much needed vacation.

"Now if I recall correctly Sirius and your father always seemed to love Las Vegas. I guess they found the place entertaining," Remus said with a smile, all Harry needed was a little fun.

"America."
