Part 4 The Explanations...The short versions

Sirius told his story to the group of mostly children surrounding him. However, he knew they were far more than that. There was power flowing off all of them. Even the young Muggles seemed to radiate it.

They asked a few questions and he answered as honestly as he could. Somehow he knew lying would not be wise or safe. The blonde girl Buffy was clearly protective of those under her care. The other dark haired girl Faith was clearly ready to fight at the least provocation. The others were also coiled ready to spring. It was clear whatever had happened to them had been extremely traumatic. "That's the sad but true tale of Sirius Orion Black. I am no saint and I have made mistakes. I Swear on my life and Magic I did not betray my friends."

Buffy looked at Willow. She nodded. "We believe you. That oath it means something to you?"

"Yes, it does. If I had lied I could at least lose my magic at most die." Sirius said with all honest. He pulled his wand out and gave it a flick. Sparkles came out as he transfigured a mat to sit on. "As you can see I have my magic."

"A wand? Wow that's cool." Dawn said. "Can I see it?"

Thinking the girl was a Muggle and no harm could be done Sirius handed it over before anyone could stop him.

Dawn flicked it and jokingly said. "I could so use a brush right now." She aimed it at a broken board. Before Willow could stop her the board transformed. The wand sparked green.

"What the hell!" Sirius said." I thought you were a Muggle?"
He jumped up almost falling over because of his leg.

"Ah, about that well, I am a witch in training. I didn't think anything would happen. I mean it's just a stick."

"Dawn give Mr. Black his wand back. It is not a toy."Giles said firmly. "As to the Muggle term. I am not really sure what we all are here. I think we may be different." He was cleaning his glasses. "A wand is a focusing tool in our world. It has no power on its own."

"Understatement much Giles." Xander said. "I mean if Dawn has that much power? " He looked over at Willow nervously.
"Oh, no...no way. I can't have more power."

Oz caught her before she could panic and Kennedy came to her other side. "We got you baby. Besides magic might be different here."

"Check." Oz said. He had to agree things could be different. He wondered what it meant to him and his pack mate?

"Ok." Willow closed her eyes and opened her mind. She felt a sudden rush. She swayed and closed off. "Oh goddess...there is so much power..." She looked drunk. "I think this could be a problem. I mean it's just all there."

Giles sighed and closed his eyes. Willow with more power could become an issue.

He looked at Xander who nodded. This was not good at all. However, he was going to trust his best friend. He grinned and decided that it might not be so bad. "Mojo covered cool. So now what? Maybe we could help each other."

"Xander is right of course. I take a wand here has power?"

Sirius nodded. If these folks were as powerful as he thought they were they could help him keep Harry safe. The war and the Wizarding world could go to hell for all he cared. Harry was all he cared about.

"Maybe you should tell me your story now." Sirius asked. He leaned back and listened as Giles told the tale. He was not overly surprised to learn that their story was as insane as his own.

"Contrary to popular belief the world did not begin as a paradise..."

The others rolled their eyes. Buffy broke in. "Ah...Giles maybe this one did?"

"Did what?" He asked. "Oh, well then of course."

Buffy grinned and said. "What Giles means is our world when he give the spiel. "

"Buffy let G-Man tell it."Xander said though he had to agree she had a good point. Who knows how different this world really was?

Sirius watched the interplay. It was clear that this was more about family. He smiled and told Giles to go on. He would take it as a history of the world they escaped. Giles sighed and continued to the end of his story.

He sighed and closed his eyes. He needed allies to protect Harry. These people were warriors battle hardened and they could help. While Sirius might not be overly fond of his world he knew Harry was bound and determined to end the dark lord. That being said he had to help. "Well maybe we could forge an alliance. I know some people who could help establish your credentials. That is to say help clear up the mess at the ministry. If you agree to help my god son I promise to do all I can to help you."

"Giles what do you think?"Buffy asked.

The watcher considered it for a moment and said. "Agreed, we don't want or need a repeat of the past. We agree."

Sirius took his hand and then that of the blonde. Somehow he thought things had changed. He just hoped it was for the better. On the plus side the vampires flocking to the death eaters cause would never know what hit them. Assuming of course the slayers could fight them. Then again given the excited look he was certain the slayers would enjoy taking out the vampires if they were an issue.
