Harry Potter wasn't thinking clearly as he dove through the ancient veil in some desperate attempt to save his godfather who had just fallen through it. In some worlds Lupin would have managed to grab him before he threw his life away but not in this one.

Now in the normal scheme of things, jumping through the veil of death would have resulted in his death, should have resulted in any mortal's death, however as often seemed the case, he was Harry James Potter and he was cursed/blessed to live in interesting times. Stars spun, worlds collided and he spun through passages of twisted darkness, lost souls and other creatures out of an acid dream or Luna's delightfully twisted mind.

Some instinct or twist of fate caused him to turn at just the right moment to see his godfather. He reached out and grabbed him as he passed and held on as they tumbled through the strange passage to the land of the dead. Several tumbles and twists later reality seemed on the verge of coming apart. He screamed as he tried to kick off a 'wall' and broke through only to fall into blackness and lose consciousness.

He awoke to the sound of laughter and vague memories of his dream from that morning, something about a god that was giving him part of her power so that he could right a great wrong or something like that. He was sure there was more to the dream but he couldn't remember the rest of it which was rather disturbing considering he had a strange feeling it was directly responsible for why he wasn't dead. He stared up at the ceiling of a strange misty train station. "Weird…"

Sirius laughed as he offered his hand to Harry. "Apparently the veil leads to a train station."

Harry's eyes widened, "Sirius! You're alive!"

Sirius glanced around the ghostly station, "For a given value of alive…"

A train whistle broke the silence a second before a black and silver version of the Hogwarts express emerged from the fog. It stopped with screech.

Harry frowned as he looked at the train. "Great, I guess that's our ride."

Sirius frowned as he looked at the train. "Your mother is going to kill me, let's look for a back exit and leg it."

Harry's laughter died as he turned around to do just that and found himself staring at an attractive goth girl with a shimmering black skirt and a t-shirt that read, 'Yes, I play chess.' He gulped, "Ah, hello?"

Sirius glanced down at the girl's breasts. "Chest? Eh?"

The girl rolled her eyes. "I almost never have to deal with scheduling conflicts but in this case, I've been asked to personally deal with you two."

Harry asked, "Ah… why?"

"Destiny got drunk and a divinity managed to get herself on my list thus you've been chosen to pick up the slack."

"Pardon?" Harry asked in confusion.

"Congrations you're gods, well minor gods. Or at least demigods which are like minor minor gods."

"So we can go back?" Harry asked hopefully.

"No, your place in the world has been reassigned to Neville Longbottom, you wouldn't have enjoyed it anyways."

"So where do we go from here?"

The 'girl' said, "A new life, a new destiny, mostly under your own discretion as you are a divinity now. Bit of a gods war but I'm sure you'll do fine, save the world and get laid, have some fun and live before you die."

"I've been saying that for years," Sirius replied with amusement.

"At least you're mostly immune to disease as a god." The mist slowly rose until they could barely see their hands in front of their faces then dispersed on an errant wind revealing an unfamiliar city.

Sirius blinked as he noticed two familiar looking small figures sitting on Harry's shoulders. "What the hell?"

Hermione grumbled as she looked down at her costume, "Why do I have to be dressed this way?"

"It's tradition," Luna replied.

"And why are you the angel while I'm dressed like a devil?" Hermione demanded as Harry tried to look back and forth between the two miniature girls.

Luna said, "Because you want him to study all the time and other things of that nature while I want him to laugh and enjoy life, so obviously I represent heaven."

Hermione said, "There is nothing wrong with studying."

"There is when that's all you do," Luna complained. "Life is about balance, and you are way out of balance."

"How do you figure?" Hermione demanded.

"I think I've gone insane Sirius," Harry muttered.

"When's the last time you've had Harry haul your ashes?" Luna asked, arching a brow.

"I've never!" Hermione sputtered turning bright red.

"And thus why you're the demon girl. All pain, no pleasure, hell in a nutshell."

Sirius said, "I think we've both gone nuts… though if this was my hell, I'd be back in Azkaban so yeah, hello girls."

Luna flew off Harry's shoulder then grew to full size in a shower of sparkles.

Hermione blinked. "How did you do that?"

"I'm not going to tell you, you'd just waste it." Luna stepped forward and kissed Harry on the lips.

"Luna!" Hermione flew off of Harry's shoulder and hovered in the air growing frustrated that Harry was returning Luna's affections and that she couldn't turn back to normal size.

Sirius laughed as he turned away from the couple and looked out over the city. "Nothing looks familiar."

Harry didn't respond as he was currently occupied.

Growing frustrated by the lack of response Hermione landed on Harry's head and tried to separate the two by pushing on Luna's head. "Harry!"

After a couple more seconds Luna broke the kiss and looked at Hermione with a smile, while Harry blinked with a stunned but pleased expression on his face. "Yes? Was there something you wanted?"

"I was just thinking that we should probably find somewhere more appropriate to talk."

"Like a hotel room with a bed, right?" Luna asked with an innocent ice cream won't melt in her mouth look.

"No, I mean yes on the…" She sighed. "Right, a room would be better."

Sirius gestured toward the skyline over the city, "Any idea where we are?"

Luna piped up, "Brockton Bay, Earth Bet or at least that's what they call it. No magic to speak of other than demigods, but they have a minor supervillain problem and three rather nasty city destroying monsters."

Harry frowned slightly. "How do you know that?"

"It was in the instruction manual."

Hermione blurted, "You got an instruction manual?"

Luna laughed until she snorted and Hermione scowled then sighed as she let it go as Luna being Luna.

Sirius looked at Harry and blinked in surprise. "You're taller and you look healthier… not so much a stick figure."

Harry stretched. "I feel great actually."

Hermione's eyes widened. "Your scar, it's gone!"

Harry reached up and rubbed where his scar should have been. It felt perfectly 'normal' which was a relief and a disappointment at the same time. "It's gone…"

Sirius sighed in relief. "If I didn't know better I'd say you got restored to perfect health. Actually, that twitch in my knee is gone and I feel better than I have since before Azkaban." He looked over at Hermione who showed no sign of returning to her own size. "How do you feel Hermione?"

She shrugged. "Other than the wings and height? Just fine…" She focused on her wings then smiled when her wings vanished and she grew back to her normal height. "Okay, that's better."

Harry blinked, "How did you do that?"

"I just willed them gone." She frowned as she willed the wings back and found herself back to her tiny size as her wings reappeared. "And back." She dismissed them again so that she wasn't a tiny devil. "That's better but it would be even better if you explained how to change sizes without losing the wings."

Luna shook her head playfully. "It's all about attitude and purpose, which I'm afraid you just aren't ready to accept yet."

Hermione sighed. "So, we should probably get going."

"Sounds like a plan."

Xander blinked in surprise a couple of times when he woke up in a strange bed with two naked Cordelia Chases and two hot naked redheads superimposed over each other. The fact that one of the redheads was Willow and other looked like a hotter red haired Dawn wasn't helping his state of mind. He blinked again and everything seemed to stabilize as he realized that he was in two places at once, the Cordelias in one room and Willow and a Dawn in the other. "Okay… I'm seeing doubles… can someone explain what the hell happened?"

Both Cordelias said, "This is your fault." at the same time.

"How is it my fault?" Xander shifted slightly so that he had a better view of Cordelia's behind while the other snuck peeks at Willow's behind.

"Because you're the one that talked us into wearing the themed Halloween costumes."

Xander snorted. "You can't blame that on me, Willow was the one that was supposed to check them for dark magic. Besides, you and Mr. Pale Face showed up out of the blue, we only had so many costumes."

Cordelia snorted. "Bullshit, you made that one especially for me."

"Your point? You almost never come for a visit and I figured…"

"That if you gave me a sexy toga and showed me a good time that we'd…" Cordelia trailed off as she realized that he was actually being honest and his intentions were more than just a one night stand. The other Cordelia asked, "Okay, so… where do we go from here?"

Xander looked between Cordelia and her twin. "Shower?"

Cordelia snorted. "If I say after more sex are you going to get weird?"

"Let's find out." Xander replied. He didn't even want to get into the whole on and off again thing he had with Anya as they were most definitely off right now. Considering she'd have killed him for having threesomes without her if they were still together, that was probably a good thing.

Cordelia grinned as she straddled Xander and her 'twin' who was basically nothing more than a second body that let her be in two places at once straddled his face. Sure, she had issues, Xander had issues but he was here and willing and if she squinted she could almost convince herself that this was all just a twisted dream.

Willow felt a little guilty as she watched Xander and the twin Cordelias have sex through the wall of the hotel while she snuggled with Xander and Dawn snuggled with her from behind. She was still a little sketchy on the details of how they'd ended up in a strange hotel or why she had x-ray vision or how she'd ended up in a bed with Xander and Dawn. She knew that Buffy was going to flip and scream at her over 'seducing' her 'innocent' sister. She'd cast a good luck spell on the group to make sure they had a good night and ended up being possessed by their costumes or something as she'd woken up sandwiched between Xander and Dawn. She shivered as Dawn ran her hands over her breasts from behind. "Your sister is going to kill me."

Dawn asked sweetly, "Does that mean you want me to stop?"

Willow's voice hitched. "Oh no, if I'm going to die, I'm going to deserve it."

Xander laughed. "Right there with you."

Dawn kissed the back of Willow's neck. "Good."

Willow decided that she could figure out her strange powers later as she pressed her behind against Dawn's crotch and pulled Xander to her.

Taylor Hebert screamed as an arrow wreathed in darkness ripped through the wall of the alley and stabbed her in the side. She tried to dodge as another arrow pierced the wall but she was a second late and the arrow went through her left knee. Her screaming died as another arrow burst through the wall and hit her in the head.

Shadow Stalker grinned as she phased through the brick wall then stalked over and started cutting out Taylor's heart with a rather large combat knife. "You lose bitch." She cut Taylor's still beating heart out and started eating it. She frowned as she finished her gorey meal and nothing happened, no rush of power, no feeling of glee, nothing like what had happened when she killed Greg and ate his heart. That one had been easy, idiot had been high as a kite with his new power and she'd offered to help and then backstabbed him. "Son of a bitch. Nothing, even as a god she was weak and useless." She scowled as she stalked off.

Dawn asked, "So… now that we've fucked like bunnies what's the plan? Because Buffy is really going to flip."

"Well, I would go with denial, but I don't plan on giving you ladies up, so we'll just have to avoid Buffy while we think of a plan. I vote we go mini golfing and eat breakfast while we think. Anyone else have a suggestion?" Xander asked.

Willow said, "Well, there's a stone cube close and four…" She blinked as she realized that there were only three other powers in the city rather than the four from earlier when she'd checked. "Or rather three other powers in the city."

"Stone cube?" Xander asked curiously as he worked on pulling his pants on.

"Ah, right… apparently the gods hid power in stone cubes and scattered them to the four winds. If I recover the cubes then I can get more power… or at least that's what I remember from the weird dream. So either we get it or we let possibly evil people gain power."

"I like power," Dawn said with a grin, hugging Xander from behind.

Xander asked, "How are you going to find them?"

Willow grinned. "I was thinking about whipping up a dragon ball sensor only for cubes rather than dragon balls."

"That would help but we'd still need transportation."

"Plus, I don't think we're in Sunnydale," Dawn pointed out.

"Yeah, the place feels… clean," Willow agreed.

"If we're not in Sunnyhell then where are we, L.A.?" he guessed.

Dawn shrugged. "I like Disney Land."

Willow walked over to the nightstand and opened the drawer and pulled out the phonebook. "Brockton Bay? Anyone know where that is?"

"Not a clue."

"Apparently we went a bit further than I thought, we're going to need a map," Xander admitted.

Willow flipped the phonebook open and realized that the phonebook was from the east coast. "Okay, either we've teleported across the country or someone swiped a phonebook from the East Coast."

Dawn said, "On the one hand no Disneyland on the other no Buffy."

Xander said, "There is always Disneyworld."

Willow said, "Which is in Florida, not New Hampshire."

"So, like a weekend drive, right?" Dawn asked hopefully.

"We'll see…" Willow didn't want to commit to anything until they figured out what had happened.

Xander said, "Either way, I'm hungry so let's grab breakfast. I'll tell Cordelia to join us."

Dawn blinked, "Wait, Cordelia is here?"

"And her double, just like mine." Xander grinned.

"Wait, there are two of you?" Dawn asked wide eyed.

"Double your fun."

"I already did that with you and Willow," she pointed out, "now I am thinking of a way of tripling it!"

"I like that plan," Willow agreed, "but for now let's see where we are and get some breakfast."

"At least it'll be quieter here than in Sunnydale," Xander agreed.

Sophia was almost getting used to people running in fear which is why she wasn't expecting to get blindsided by a ten foot tall hulking scaled dragon man. She crashed into the ground then summoned her bow back to her hand and shot him, which merely served to piss him off further and fuel his growth. His fire wasn't hot enough to hurt her but she really didn't want to test her new durability against Lung once he really got going. She turned and ran as he piled on more flames. She turned and took another shot at his head which he deftly avoided. "Fucking die!"

Lung roared and lunged forward and raked his claws across her and sent her flying then followed it up with a ball of flame.

Sophia screamed in anger as she unleashed arrow after arrow at him only for him to burn them out of the air. She turned and ran toward the closest building only to trip over a chair that some frightened civilian had left in the way which gave Lung the opportunity to bathe her position in fire, fire hot enough to actually hurt, though not hot enough to actually damage her at least not yet. "Fuck this." She turned into her shadow form and ran toward the wall of the closest building as the siriens closed in.

Lung scowled as he decided that he'd deal with the annoyance later.

Cordelia raised an eyebrow as she looked at the eye stabbingly bright yellow roof of the 24 hour pancake house that Xander wanted them to eat at. "Is this the only place that's open?"

"No but it has pancakes and thus breakfast," Xander replied cheerfully.

"It's like seven o'clock at night, thus not breakfast."

Dawn piped up, "Pancakes equal breakfast."

Willow shrugged. "It's also within walking distance which is important because none of us have a car right now."

"Point," Cordelia admitted.

"Besides, we're wearing togas," Willow muttered.

Dawn frowned as she realized that everyone they walked past was staring at them. "Apparently wandering around in togas is a bit weird, who knew?"

Xander laughed as he opened the door for the girls with his twin opening the other door. "We'll just tell people we were having a party."

The waitress blinked as she stared at Dawn and the two Cordelias before pulling her attention off the three drop dead gorgeous girls and giving both Xanders a smile that reminded Xander a bit too much like a fox in a hen house. "Welcome to the House of Pancakes, just the six of you?"

Willow said, "Just the six of us."

"Right this way." The waitress smiled as she turned and headed toward the back corner of the restaurant where they wouldn't be disturbed.

Willow couldn't even blame the waitress for eyeing Xander, Cordelia and Dawn, well she could but that would be hypocritical of her considering they looked like they'd stepped out of a movie. She was still trying to come to terms with the fact that she'd had sex with Xander and Dawn and enjoyed it but she wasn't planning on giving it up any time soon.

The waitress stopped in front of a booth. "What can I get you for drinks?"

Cordelia sat down on the bench then slid over so that she was against the wall. "This way, we'll each get a Haris."

Xander grinned as he sat down and then slid over so that he was next to Cordelia. "As you wish."

The other Cordelia sat down next to Xander. "We'll take cokes."

"Same."

Willow piped up, "Root beer."

"Ditto." Dawn looked at Willow. "Do you want to sit against the wall or do you want me to?"

"I'll take the aisle." Willow figured she'd be getting up to pay anyways so she might as well take the aisle.

Dawn sat down opposite Cordelia then slid over until her shoulder was touching the wall.

The waitress set six menus on the table, "I'll be right back with your drinks." She gave Xander one last look then walked off toward the bar to grab their drinks.

Willow waited for Xander to sit down and slide over then she sat down next to Xander and opened her menu.
