And now on to the story….

Buffy Summers was having a really bad day, possibly the worst day ever in all of human existence in fact…Dawn, her beloved yet trying sister had broken the most important rule ever…she made a wish. Now, you might think that wasn't too terrible in the grand scheme of things but it seems that the Powers That Be were listening, because Buffy, Dawn, Spike and the Scoobies were currently standing in a strange strip mall that seemed both completely foreign and familiar at the same time. Buffy turned to check the status of her friends and stopped cold, "Oh my God Dawnie! What HAVE you done!?" she screeched. All of her friends, even Spike and her Watcher looked to be about eleven years old. "No, no, no, please no." she whimpered and looked down at her chest, her very flat, eleven year old bodies chest, "Great, like puberty wasn't hard enough the FIRST time…" she grumbled. It was only then she realized that they were all standing in the sun and Spike wasn't burning, in fact, he looked fine…walking up to Spike she slowly reached out with her hand, pressing gently against his chest…"Spike…your heart! It's beating! You…you're HUMAN!"

Spike barely heard his Slayer, he was far too busy looking at the sun for the first time since his turning without fear…he could feel the gentle warmth of it on his skin and it was better than he had ever dreamed. Looking to Dawn Spike said "Nibblet, I don't know what you did, but thank you, you've given me a chance to live again! Buffy, things will be different this time, I won't be growing up to be William the Bloody…Maybe William the Writer, or WIlliam the Dreamer…but no more death." Buffy looked at Spike and softened her gaze as she turned to her sister, "We'll have to deal with this later Dawn and see how the others are dealing, at least with Spike your wish has been more of a blessing than a curse, maybe it will be the same for all of us!"

The rest of the Scoobies were somewhat dazed though the real concern was Willow, she seemed to be having trouble controlling her magic, Tara was doing her best to keep her calm but it wasn't going well at all. Willow's hair was going crazy turning different colors as well as growing and shortening, people were bound to notice and then what! "It's too much Tara! The magic here is so strong, it's…it's just everywhere!" Willow gasped. Tara took Willow by the hand, "We need to go somewhere now Buffy, this is too open and I don't know what's wrong with Willow." she whispered urgently.

An old man was watching the group of children from his store. He knew these children weren't what they seemed, but then, he alway's knew. Olivander sighed, and for the first time in years turned the sign on his door to closed 4 hours early. Walking up to the children cautiously he got the attention of the young lady being called Buffy. "Excuse me Miss, if you like you can bring your friends into my shop, it's a bit more private, and I believe I can help you sort out what's happened here." Buffy eyed the man warily however, she wasn't sure he could be trusted but at the same time they needed more information, after a quick look at her Watcher who nodded slightly Buffy gave a rather curt nod and said "Thank you sir, we would appreciate that very much, anything you can tell us will be more than we know at this point." Olivander smiled at her, glad to see that she was so cautious and careful of her friends safety. "If you will just follow me my wand shop is just across the street." he said as he headed back to his shop, after all the children entered he took out his wand and cast a few spells causing the blinds to lower and the door to lock. "No need to worry, I just thought it would be best if you didn't have to worry about people coming in and disturbing us while we sort things out. If you go up those stairs you'll find my living quarters, plenty of room for everyone I'm sure.

Buffy and the rest followed Olivander up the stairs, a bit cautious because they still weren't sure things were quite safe, but once in the living quarters they found themselves in a well lit sitting room with comfortable seating and a rather homey atmosphere. Olivander looked at the kids, I mean really LOOKED, seeing them for who they truly were and his eyes widened in surprise. "I wondered when the Slayer line would return, but I never expected you to cross dimensions to get here!" he said, the wonder on his face obvious. Rupert Giles's eyes widened in surprise, "Mr. Olivander, can you please tell us what you know about the Slayer and HOW you knew that Buffy was one?" He asked as calmly as possible. Olivander's eyes twinkled at the boy who was obviously Buffy's Watcher. Choosing his words carefully he begins, "I see things in ways that others do not Mr. Giles. For instance I know that all of you have changed in a huge way, all of you are much younger than you once were, and yet you retain all of your abilities and memories, or at least, most of you do, young William there will never again thirst for blood and he is no longer…shall we say, overly sensitive to the sunlight?" he chuckled wryly. "Buffy, you still have all of your Slayer abilities, yet there is more to you now, more to all of you actually, you will in fact be needing wands, and I would like very much to make them a gift, in order to welcome you to your new…yet old world. I believe the wizard world is about to be shaken to it's core." he stated with a broad smile.

This is just the beginning I hope, I am rather new to this, in fart this is my first attempt at a fanfic of any kind and it should be interesting to see if I can pull this off. I know that others have written of the Scoobies being thrust into the wizarding world, however I have yet to see any of those stories start them so young, nor "landing" in such a public place. I hope I manage to do this justice, but it's just all there in my head and it could be that I will lose a bit in the translation, please any comments are not only welcome, but needed. I will never learn without constructive criticism. Tally Ho!
