The Heart of the Body

A/N: This is a Buffy and Harry Potter crossover!  Be warned.  You could probably get by with just reading Harry Potter.  It is Harry/Dawn, Hermione/Ron, and the rest would be telling.  Please Review!

Part 1:  Building

Chapter 1

A Meeting in the Light.

It wasn't dark.  In fact it was noon.  Lucius Malfoy was waiting in a small clearing in a forest.  Not a forest like the forbidden forest, but a normal forest.  In the background there were mountains with small patches of snow on them.  There was a faint rainbow in the sky for it had rained about an hour ago.  It was the perfect July day.

Lucius had absolutely no idea why Voldemort insisted on meeting in places that look like a six-year-olds fantasy world.  But one does not simply question his decisions, those who do usually end up kind of dead.

"Lucius,"  The voice of Voldemort said from behind him, "I am pleased you could make it."

"What is it you needed my Lord?"  asked Lucius turning around.

"Who is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts?"

"Two witches have been hired, a Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay.  Dumbledore feels that the job may need more than one teacher.  They come from the United States, they use ancient Romanian magic."

"Interesting.  That form of magic takes much concentration.  But muggles can perform it although they would have an extremely difficult time with it.  Am I correct in assuming that Dumbledore has not hired muggles?"

.

"You are correct.  The witches are bringing friends with them.  A boy and girl that are to be married.  And Rupert Giles is returning to England."

"Rupert Giles?  You waited until now to tell me this?  He has power, power to destroy us."

"I know.  But that is not all.  A fifteen year old girl."

"Fifteen?  Harry Potter's age.  She is the one."

"What are you talking about my Lord?"

"Do you know of the prophecy of the body?"

"I've never heard of it."

"Trelawny's prediction is that 6 people, all of them students, can make a group that will be indestructible once formed.  It can only be made by them standing in a certain position.  The two Minds stand next to each other, with the Wand, Heart, and Senses in a line in front of them. The spirit stands directly in front of the heart.  Once this happens, all will be lost to us.

"We know that the minds are the mudblood and the Weasley boy, and we know that the wand is Potter, but the other three remain a mystery.  Yet, we know that the other Weasley fits in somehow, what she is, we don't know and we know that the senses is a boy.  Have your son keep a lookout for him.  Figuring out who is the heart and who is the spirit, could be the crucial part.  You see, once they have banded, the Heart can kill me, and anyone else they feel is a threat.  If we take the Heart, the rest will fall."

"So," interrupted Lucius, "if the heart is either the Weasley girl or the girl moving here, why don't we just kill them both?"

"Killing the heart is indeed are goal, but killing her without weakening her first, that would not be wise, for she can stand alone, yet she is stronger with the Wand by her side.  The Wand, being Harry, will be difficult to kill, we need to weaken him.  He needs the heart and the spirit.  So we will to destroy the spirit.  She is the target.  This new girl could either be the heart, or the spirit.  Which means we either have to kill her or avoid her because if she is the heart and she possesses the power to kill all of us with one single swipe."

"We will get to work immediately, is there anything else, my lord?"

"No, not today.

"Alright, I'll remember to tell Draco to keep an eye out for possible candidates for the Senses."

"Good," Voldemort said simply.  And with that he disappeared into thin air.

A/N:  So what do you all think?  Is it good?  Is it trash?  If you feel like flaming, feel free, but be warned that you might get a snotty answer back in the next chapter.  We will be posting one chapter a week.  Maybe that will give us some motivation to finish the story.
