Chapter 3: Stakey, Stakey,

Harry awoke to sunlight streaming in through the window. Ron was still asleep, snoring in the bed next to him. Harry got up, pulled on a t-shirt and jeans, then headed downstairs to the kitchen. In the kitchen he saw Sirius and Hermione. Hermione was eating toast, and Sirius was leaning up against the counter. They stopped talking when Harry came into the room and smiled at him.

"Morning, Harry," Hermione said.

"Harry where would you like to go today?" Sirius asked. "Hermione has already made her requirements. The Magic Box I believe and the UC Sunnydale library."

"The Magic Box?" Harry asked bewildered. Before Sirius could reply, Hermione started speaking.

"It's a magic shop Harry. It was destroyed last year but then repaired and several of its owners have died there. Sirius says that it also had some amazing magic supplies. And the UC library is said to be huge." Hermione finished. Her eyes were sparkling.

Harry laughed. It was so like Hermione to want to visit a library on the first day.

"The Magic Box sounds good," Harry said. "But I don't know about the library."

"It's not as bad as it sounds," Sirius reassured him. "And while you're here we can go to the beach and of course the Bronze." Responding to Harry and Hermione's confused looks, Sirius said, "It's a nightclub. With food, music, and dancing. All the young people hang out there. I'm sure my neighbors would love to go with you."

At the mention of Sirius's neighbors Hermione brightened considerably. "Well that sounds fun. I sure we'd like it. Right Harry?" she said.

"Um yeah great," Harry responded. Just then Ron came stumbling into the kitchen in his pyjamas.

"What's going on?" he asked, pouring himself a bowl of cereal.

"Hermione's making Sirius drag us to a library," Harry answered.
Ron looked flabbergasted. "Really Hermione? It's the summer holidays."

Hermione sighed. "Ron it is not that bad, so don't worry. Anyway there might be book there you like," she suggested. Ron stared at her, open mouthed, then shook his head, and began to eat.

Sirius chuckled, "Be ready in an half hour," he ordered. "And Ron get dressed," he finished and left the room. Ron grumbled to himself and kept eating.
"Hermione," Harry whispered. "Are you ever going to drop this obsession with Sirius's neighbors?

She looked at him. "No, I'm not," she whispered back fiercely. "At least not until I meet them. And don't look at me like that Harry. I know you are curious about them too." With that she left the kitchen and Harry heard her running up the stairs.
"What did you do?" Ron asked, looking up from his bowl of cereal. Harry shook his head and busied himself getting breakfast.

Half an hour later, the three of them were in the car waiting for Sirius. Harry and Hermione had made up. Hermione was not like other girls Harry thought. She was more rational, not as silly, and she didn't giggle obscenely. Maybe that was a bad thing. Maybe she needed more girlfriends. Harry knew Hermione spent most of her time with Ron and him. Harry mentally shook himself. Now was not the time to be worrying about Hermione's lack of feminine influence.

A minute later Sirius appeared, got into the car and drove. First they visited the library (Harry and Ron had decided to get the worst over first). Harry had to admit it was a nice library. It was huge with stacks of books. Hermione was in heaven. Harry even found some books that were interesting and so did Sirius. Ron complained loudly about how boring the library was until a librarian shushed him. Harry noticed some of the Muggles shooting venomous looks at Ron. After about two hours in the library, they left, Hermione very unwillingly, Ron almost skipping for joy.

Next they went to the Magic Box. It was a very cool shop, with lots of magic books, ingredients for spells and potions, and other magical items. Hermione liked this almost as much as the library. Even Ron found things that interested him. Harry was browsing when he noticed Sirius talking to the blonde women behind the counter. The women Harry noticed was staring at him with blatant curiosity. Seeing Harry staring, Sirius waved him over.

"Harry this is Anya. She owns the Magic Box," Sirius said, as Harry drew closer. Anya waved at him. "Anya this is my godson Harry. Anya's husband is friends with my neighbors." Sirius explained.

"Yes he is and I am too," Anya said. "Although sometimes they are dreadfullyannoying. I do like Buffy and Tara though. And Dawn most the time. Faith still scares me, even if she is supposedly redeemed. But Willow drives me crazy even if she is the most powerful wicc-,"

"Anya," Sirius interrupted. "Wouldn't you like to meet Harry's friends?" Sirius beckoned for Ron and Hermione to come closer.

"But you said one of them is like Xander and one is like Willow. Anyway I thought Harry was the Cho-."

"Ron and Hermione, this is Anya. She owns the Magic Box and she and her husband are friends with my neighbors," Sirius said loudly, interrupting Anya again. "Anya, this is Ron and Hermione, Harry's best friends."

"Oh," Anya said, peering at them. "Well you should introduce them to the rest of the Scoobies soon Sirius. They are desperate to meet them. Although I don't see the big deal. They're not very interesting. Oooo, they're going to be mad when they hear I met them first. Hi, I'm Anya Christina Emmanuella Harris." Anya stuck out her hand and Harry, Ron, and Hermione shook it warily. "And compliments of the Magic box you will all receive a free bottle of Holy Water," Anya said pulling out three glass bottles. Now is there anything you would like to purchase?" In the end Hermione bought a book, and they left the shop. As they left, Anya called out, "Thank you for buying at the Magic Box. Please come again and spend your money!"

They were all laughing by the time they got outside. "Sirius, who is she?" Hermione asked.

"Anya? Oh she's great. A little kooky and very blunt, but she always makes you laugh. And I better introduce to my neighbors soon or Buffy and Willow will cut off my head," Sirius replied. For the rest of the day they drove around Sunnydale, stopping whenever Harry, Ron, or Hermione found a place where they wanted to stop. They had lunch at a fast food restaurant which Ron also loved. Then Sirius took them to the movie theater, where they saw a movie called The Doomed Cheer, an incredibly stupid movie about a cheer leading squad who's cheer caused demons to come out of the earth and chase try to kill the cheer leading squad. By the phony end, even Hermione's had a stitch from laughing so hard, along with the others, and the rest of the theater.

After the movie they went out for ice cream, and talked about the worst scenes of the movie, and the fact that the movie wasn't even trying to be a comedy. Sirius vowed that he would show them at least one good movie in there time here. Back at Sirius's house they talked more, telling Sirius absolutely everything about their 5th year at Hogwarts that they hadn't been able to tell him due to Umbridge's restrictions. Harry realised how easy it was to talk to Sirius. They could tell him anything and he wouldn't reprimand them for breaking the rules or being stupid. He would laugh in the right places and then tell them stories of his own years at Hogwarts. They had dinner and then Sirius announced he had to go out.
"Why?" Harry asked. He wanted to spend more time with his godfather.

"It's just something I need to do," Sirius answered. "Don't worry we have plenty of time to be together. But don't you dare follow me. Any of you, especially you Harry." Sirius looked so serious that Harry nodded. Sirius relaxed. "Good, I'll be back soon." Then he exited the room, and they heard him go down the outside steps. They tried to entertain themselves, but they all found it difficult. When two hours had passed Harry stood up.
"I'm going to find him," he said, heading towards the door. Then Harry felt Hermione grab his wrist.

"Harry no. We promised him we wouldn't," she admonished.

"Hermione what if he's injured? Or worse?" Harry questioned her.

"Harry I know you feel protective of him. But even if he was hurt he could be anywhere?" Hermione said. She obviously thought she had him. But Harry had a plan.

"That Anya girl knew about me, and if she did then so did his neighbors. And I saw two of them leave the house, with a big black dog following them. They looked like they were going to the graveyard," Harry answered.

Hermione stared at him, then she started speaking again. "Harry there are a huge number of graveyards in this town. And what if Sirius saw you?"

"I'll take the Invisibility cloak," Harry replied. "You two don't have to come. Then if Sirius does see me, he won't get mad at you."

Hermione opened her mouth to reply, but it was Ron who spoke first. "Are you mental? Harry if you're going, then me and Hermione are coming too," Ron said looking determined. Harry saw Hermione nodding. He groaned.

"Fine, you can come. Let me just get the cloak," Harry said and he walked upstairs. He knew it would be useless to make Ron and Hermione not come. They always would come with him. Harry knew that, and even though he tried to deny it, it made him glad. He grabbed the cloak from his suitcase, and went downstairs. They all got under the cloak, and walked out the door into the cool night air. In all the years of practice they could rather quickly under the cloak. They reached the first graveyard, and Harry pulled off the cloak, ignoring the other two's squeals of protest.

"Look we can move faster without the cloak on," he said. They walked through the cemetery, and Harry saw no sign of Sirius, when he felt Hermione poke him in the back. "What Hermione?" Harry asked, annoyed.

"Harry turn around," she said, and Harry noticed she sounded scared. Harry turned and found him face to face with a creature. It had the body of a human but it's face was all wrinkled, with yellow eyes, and sharp pointy fangs. A Vampire.

"Run!" he ordered, but as they tried to escape Harry noticed two other vampires drawing in. They were trapped!

Suddenly one of the vampire spun around. Behind him stood a petite blond women. "Hi," she said. "I'm Buffy, the slayer."

"Slayer," the vampire growled. "I'm going to suck you dry."

The blonde rolled her eyes. "Oh please," she said. "That gets so old. Don't you undead have any better threatening statements?" Suddenly the vampire was on the ground. "You bitch," the vampire growled.

"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" the women asked, in the same joking tone. Out of the blue, the vampire exploded into dust. The second vampire lunged at the women and also burst into dust. The third vampire tried to run away, but the blonde threw a stake at the vampire, which hit him, and he too exploded.

Then the women realised that there were three teenagers gaping at her. "Yes those were vampires. The supernatural exists, blah, blah, blah. Now you should be getting home," she said. Suddenly she looked at Harry. "Hang on," she said. "Glasses, check. Green eyes check." Then she looked Ron, "Tall with red hair and freckles, check," she said. Staring at Hermione she said, "Bushy brown hair check. Brown eyes check. Pretty check." "Oh no," the women muttered. "Faith!" she called. They heard something crashing threw the bushes and a tall young brunette women appeared.

"What is it B?" the brunette asked.

The blonde pointed at the three of them, "I think these are the kids staying with Sirius," she said. The brunette looked at them.

"They do look like Sirius's and Anya's description. But that means...shit, shit, shit, B! Sirius is going to be so pissed," the brunette exclaimed, before letting out a piercing whistle. In a few seconds a great black dog appeared. He looked at the two women, then at Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and Harry heard him growl. Suddenly Sirius was standing in front of them, looking furious.

"What the hell are you three doing out here? You promised me you wouldn't follow me!" Sirius yelled. Harry had never seen him so angry.

"Sirius calm down," the blonde women said. "Let's go back to my house and we can explain to them about all of this. Then you can yell at them." To Harry, Ron, and, Hermione, the women said. "You probably know a lot about the supernatural already, being magical, but there is a lot more than you ever knew. And by the way, I'm Buffy, and the brunette is Faith. We're Sirius's neighbors."

A/N: So Anya, Buffy, and Faith have all appeared. Coming up next... the rest of the Scoobies make an appearance, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn about Slayers, demons, and other goodness. Happy New Years Eve everyone!
