~~~*PROLOGUE*~~~
She looked down at the baby girl nestled in her arms then up to the elderly man in front of her.
"It is time , my dear." He said gently.
"I know I...I...She'll be safe right?"she replied.
"Yes, the people we are sending her to know about our world and a few others. She will be safe."
"Can...can I name her or do they....?"
"You may name her, you are of course, her mother."
"Alright her name is Lara Lily Evans."
"Very beautiful name my child , but I feel that perhaps maybe we should add another last name.Croft perhaps?"
"Very well , Lara Lily Evans Croft."
With that she gave the baby to the elderly man who smiled softly at her.
"Take care Lily."
"You to Albus."
~~~*SIXTEEN YEARS LATER*~~~
Lara lay exhausted on her bed at the Hyperion half asleep when she heard a tap at her window and she looked over and seen a shadow against the glass. She got up and opened the window as soon as she did a beautiful pale grey owl flew in and she shrieked in surprise.
The owl perched itself on her dresser and as soon as she got close enough to touch it her door burst open.
"What the Bloody Hell is going on?"
"That owl flew into the room when I opened the window, Spike."
"Owl? What Owl?"
"The one sitting on the dresser right there."
Spike looked over at the owl on her dresser and took the note that he noticed was on its leg. He unfolded it and read over before looking up at Lara.
"Pidge, go get Angel and meet me downstairs in five minutes."
"Okay..."
Lara went downstairs and told Angel about the owl and the note. Then followed him as he went and told Wesley about it and back out to the lobby with Angel and Wesley. Spike was already down there pacing.
"Spike what did the letter say?" Wesley asked.
"Read it yourself mate."
Wesley took the the note and read aloud.
"Dear William,
I am sad to say that Voldemort has returned he is not yet at his full strength but it is only a matter of time. I am writing to invite you , Angel and the rest of your team to assist teaching here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry.Also Lara may attend classes, I hear that she is already quite the Animagus already. It would be best if you arrive as soon as you can.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
.....Oh my..." Wesley added after reading the note.
"Animagus?"Lara asked.
"Yea pet , you know how you can turn yourself into a tiger?"she nodded."That is an animagus."
"Oh, ok. So, when are we leaving? That Dumbdore guy said as soon as possible."
"It's Dumbledore, pet" Spike said chuckling.
"Tomorrow if possible." Angel said heading to phone."I'll get us all plane tickets."
"Just get them for you, me, watcher jr. and bit." Spike said.
"Alright Spike." Angel replied.
She looked down at the baby girl nestled in her arms then up to the elderly man in front of her.
