Hermione woke sandwiched between her two bedmates and yawned. "I think I could get used to this, waking up next to you two."

Dawn smiled "At least none of us snores."

Willow sat up and smiled then blinked while looking at the door. "Hermione did you use a silence spell on the door? Because I didn't and Dawn didn't but there is one on the door."

Hermione frowned, "No I didn't. So does that mean one of the boys heard us? Oh dear."

Dawn snickered "Well someone must have noticed us making noises and wanted to hide it, I'm sure the guilty party will be uncomfortable when we come down for breakfast."

Willow chuckled "You are probably right about that. Shall we go have breakfast so we can see who the nice person that cast the spell is?"

Hermione blushed red "You both are horrible, you know that one of my friends heard enough to cast a silence charm and okay it is funny, I figure it's got to be Lupin, Harry or Ginny."

Dawn looked at Hermione and pulled on some clothes. "Why do you think it was one of them? What about Ron or Neville."

Hermione chuckled, "Well Ron would have busted in trying to figure out what was happening. Neville would most likely not have noticed the giggling to start with."

Willow pulled her underwear, pants and shirt on as Hermione got changed. Willow and crew headed down to the kitchen.

Ron was busy stuffing his face as the girls come down the stairs, he didn't even look up from his food. Ginny was busy reading over some notes for something but looked up when the girls entered, "Ah the sleepy heads finally wake, grab some lunch before my idiot brother eats it all."

Lupin looked up from his plate. "So when are we going to meet the others and when are we going to get started with lessons?"

Willow grinned, "Well, I figure we can contact the rest of my friends after breakfast and hopefully start some of the physical training as well as some demonology lessons. After today, we can work out a schedule for getting these guys into shape. I helped Buffy with the slaying while in school, so I see no reason not to get the rest of them lessons on fighting in case they have to help out or get caught in the middle."

Harry walked in and blushed slightly when he saw Hermione. He hastily walked over to the kitchen area and grabbed some food.

Ron looked up from his food, "So what took you so long to get up, lazing around already?"

Harry shrugged, "No just getting used to not having nightmares for dreams. I actually slept well once I got to sleep."

Hermione smiled, "No icky bad dreams Harry?"

Harry blushed and looked down at his food, "No dreams of Voldemort or Death eaters, I don't remember them being bad, so there is a first time for everything." Harry's thoughts, 'Not going to tell them I dreamed about the three of them together. I had to take another cold shower in the morning as well.'

Hermione leaned over and whispered to Willow, "Well he sounds rather guilty about something."

Willow laughed softly, "Well I'm sure it's nothing. But eat up guys I think we are going to need a portal room."

Lupin frowned in thought, "Would that make it easier to open portals if they were all opened from the same place or just less confusing?"

Dawn thought for a few seconds, "Well it would be less confusing to me and might over time make it easier being that if I push at a place long enough and often enough it might get soft. Though not sure that is a good thing either it might weaken the barriers enough that someone could open them other then me but not much chance of that happening without us knowing about it."

Lupin frowned, "Well I suggest only using the portals to a well guarded place for the permanent ones and then we can see for the one stop slayer pick up for the rest. You said you had a number of other slayers to collect or at least inform, right? There are probably going to be some worlds that we aren't going to need to go back to much, though some we might. You said you placed a spell in a crystal to get back to our world wouldn't it make sense to bring two crystals, one crystal for here and one placed in the world we collect the slayer in? It makes sense to assume that not everyone is going to be willing to leave his or her world or leave it for long without being able to visit. And this place while large isn't a huge place."

Dawn blinked, "Two crystals would help a lot to use one as a focus for the other one. That is a good suggestion, and yeah I don't expect everyone to be willing to stay here but I'm hoping that we can collect a number of them and get them training and sent back out. We are sort of in uncharted water because they are in worlds that might not even need slayers and only got one because of the spell."

Ginny shrugged, "We will just have to organize the slayers into groups. You said each of them needed a watcher, right? For support staff, so wouldn't it be better to see if they had someone like that from their own world? Or is it better to train people and send them with? I mean I don't mind helping Hermione with research."

Harry nodded with Ginny "Well I'll help Hermione out with researching as well, not sure I would want some stranger being her watcher. I think we would have to ask the girls what they thought."

Willow sighed, "Well most likely we will, though I have to check in with Giles but we don't really have enough watchers for the group of my world's slayers let alone the group we are going to have to collect. In other words maybe borrowing talent is the best."

Lupin looked around at the various plates of food, "Okay guys finish up and we can get out of here."

Willow looked around, "Anyone seen Neville this morning?"

Harry nodded, "Yeah he said he was working on the greenhouses still but said he thought everything would be mostly done in the next few days, and to leave without him."

Dawn grinned, "Alright we can leave the dishes and such and head well not home but to the other slayer headquarters."

Dawn raised her hands and a shimmering green portal appeared in the air. "Okay everyone, Willow first then the rest with me following last."

Willow stepped through the portal followed by Hermione and Ron, Ginny and Harry jumped at about the same time followed by a laughing Remus Lupin. Dawn stepped through the portal last.

Meanwhile:

Xander read a comic book while he rested in a chair against one wall in the now cleared portal room. "I wish they would hurry up and get back it's been days." Xander clamped his mouth shut and looked around nervously for a few minutes after having said the W world. After a few minutes of nothing happening, he was startled by a green glowing portal that opened. Willow stepped out of it followed by several vaguely familiar people before Dawn stepped through and closed the portal behind her. "You made it Wills. We were wondering after you left some of your equipment for the trip on this side of the portal. What's up with the extra people?"

Willow walked over and hugged Xander, "Well we had some issues with collecting just her, so let me introduce Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and Mr. Remus Lupin."

Xander blinked "Did you say Harry Potter and Hermione Granger? Wow so are they like the books?"

Willow grinned, "Yeah for the most part though there are a few differences here and there." She looked at Hermione and smiled. "But the big things are the same so I figured I would take them along, work out some of the training details with Faith and start work on that as soon as possible, though I sort of want to spend some time with people and go over some changes that are going to have to happen."

Harry blinked "How many people read that book here?"

Willow chuckled, "A great number of people but we aren't going to be staying long and there is no reason you can't get away with hiding the scar and walking around sense no one would ever expect you to be real."

Harry smiled "Well there is that, so let's get to this boardroom meeting."

Xander headed off to go collect the rest of the Scooby gang.

Later in the council room a glorified staff lounge with some extra tables and couches.

Buffy, Faith, Giles, Xander, Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Willow and Dawn were sitting around the table while Remus leaned against the wall and finished telling the story of Voldemort and Harry's role in his downfall. Remus sat after he explained the part about Harry having to kill him.

Buffy frowned, "Alright, so in other words we have to put Harry and Ron through combat training as well, Harry because he is going to need to be able to really fight and Ron because he isn't going to leave well enough alone. He's like Xander in that respect I would wager. And well Hermione is going to need it because of her new job as a slayer. So where were you planning on staying we have some room but we are somewhat over packed as it stands. I mean you're always welcome Willow and Dawn but we don't really have the room these days we are training girls as fast as we can then sending them to other places to train but it's still a lot of girls. Moreover, we have had some people sniffing around looking for Faith lately so that is causing some problems, if I thought I could send her out of the country I would. No offense Faith but we had enough problems sneaking you into the country…"

Faith shrugged, "None taken I mean I knew that my time outside wouldn't be that long once they caught up with me but I was hoping I could avoid it for a while till the girls were trained but with the numbers coming in still. I don't know, I want to help but we sort of blew enough council resources keeping them away this long."

Willow grinned, "Well I might have a solution for Faith's cop problem. You wanted to go see some different worlds. Do you still want too? We could use an experienced slayer to teach at the base we set up, and sense you have too many issues here, I figure no place better then some place they have never heard of you."

Faith grinned, "Well that's fine by me if you want me you got me, if B can replace me."

Buffy shrugged with a twinkle in her eye, "Well not that I think you are going to be easy to replace but you have trained some of the girls to be trainers so I think I can do without you for a while till the heat calms down. So Dawnie you being safe and staying out of trouble?"

Dawn grinned, "Yeah I'm staying out of trouble. I wasn't in any danger. We got the bugs worked out of the spell to get us to other dimensions as well. I think that after we pick up Faith and spend some time here we should be ready to head back home. But hey we spent several weeks gone already I sort of miss you Buffy."

Giles rubbed his glasses, "Several weeks, well it sounds like you had an interesting time, though I agree with the assessment that you will have to go take out this dark wizard at some point. I don't really see a reason that a slayer has to stay in their world. It's never really come up, though I guess there could have been slayers on other worlds before the watchers council has gaps where they couldn't locate them for periods of time."

Buffy sighed, "Well the only thing we can do is arrange for the girls to get the training to make a well informed choice. Though you said that there weren't too many monsters just bad humans in your world Harry?"

Harry nodded, "That's correct there aren't many monsters to fight, though there are some vampires they aren't the problem they are here. The government regulates them, so I cannot really see any reason to have to stay in that world. Besides Ron's family and Hermione, I don't have family worth having left. Though Hermione has family."

Hermione frowned, "Though really no real reason I can't just write them, and visit on holidays, there isn't a whole lot tying me to the world I came from. Ginny, Harry and Ron are about my only friends my age. So a job as a slayer sounds interesting if I can help people."

Giles frowned, "Is there anything else you need? Oh and I have your magical gloves Willow, I figured you didn't want Andrew poking at them to see how they worked." Giles handed the gloves that fell off when Willow went through the portal to her.

Willow grinned, "Oh no that would be bad, there is a lot of magic still in there from absorbing all of the power of the uber vampires. I don't really want to know what he would do with it. I think other then CDs of some of the various research books we have everything we need."

Dawn smiled, "Alright then as the maker of the portal home, I declare this a free day where we can get to know the each other and see how things are done. Though I'm sure Faith will do things slightly different."

Lupin chuckled, "We can always start on the homework in the morning." He smiled "I'm going to go enjoy talking to new people and seeing if Mr. Giles has any books on magic that are of interest. As I heard you had an excellent collection." Giles smiled and showed Lupin off to his office.

Buffy smiled, "I'd like a minute of Harry's time, show your new friends around Dawn."

Dawn snagged Xander, Hermione, and Ginny to go for a tour of the complex. Buffy grabbed Harry for a little chat about facing one's destiny.

Buffy sighed, "Well prophecies aren't always saying what you think they are, but no worries we can train you well enough to beat him, I've fought countless demons Harry monsters much worse then this Voldemort and won, we fought a hell goddess and won. It can be done, besides you have friends willing to travel the world for you Harry, they know the risks they know the score, don't push them away. Pushing friends away never ends well."

Harry sighed, "So you think I, we have a shot? At taking him out, Dawn told me some of the things you have taken out. Willow confirmed them so I believe you but it just seems hard, Voldemort has had decades to gather power. I have if Willow is right a few years to train and go deal with the problem or if not a few months of training before I'll be forced to go after him. I just want a break from the whole mess. It's not me running away so much as wanting a chance to make sure my friends don't die with me."

Buffy grinned, "Well I have been dead twice and I came back each time, I trust Willow to find a way to destroy your dark wizard, there are very few creatures more powerful as far as magic goes then her. And just between me and you most of those creatures that are more powerful happen to be ancient gods or demons that have been using magic for ages. So I'm sure between your friends and you a way will be found, then you get to decide where you want to live, being a hero has some draw backs, has some upsides though as well."

"I wasn't sure that I believed Willow about bringing someone back from the dead though I'm sad that she couldn't bring Sirius back. She said it was because it wasn't her world and that would be like ripping him out of his rest with my parents. It's just hard to know something is possible and not to be able to do anything about it."

Buffy sighed, "Yeah well I'm sure if you try hard you can get enough things done to fight. Now you better catch up to your friends before they have too much time by themselves."

Harry nodded "Thank you for the suggestions about the prophecy." Harry hurried after the rest of the group.

Buffy shook her head and headed off the other direction.

Dawn gestured to a large yard where a bunch of teenage girls are sparing each other, "Well these are the practice yards where the girls practice fighting. The buildings are mostly dorm space as well as some classes though slayers don't have to take that many classes."

Ron frowned, "So how come we have to take so many classes then?"

Hermione scowled, "Humph, it's because you're not a slayer you are magical support or maybe a potential watcher for one of the girls."

Ron spotted Harry jogging up the path towards them, "Well at least some of them are good looking don't you think Harry?"

Hermione scowled at Ron.

Harry looked at Hermione, "Ah, I think all of the girls are nice looking including the one staring daggers at you Ron. So did I miss much of the tour?"

Hermione's scowl turned into a smile "Why thank you Harry, no we just sort of walked lazy like while," she scowled "Ron was ogling the girls."

Dawn stage whispered, "He was ogling you too you know Hermione."

Hermione blushed "Well okay at least he finely noticed I'm a girl, it just took him several years."

Willow grinned, "Alright enough with the nitpicking, Faith, I'm not sure how much we can pay you to start off with but I think I know something you might be more interested in then money."

Faith grinned, "Sex?"

Willow chuckled "Well that too but no something else that would be more in line with your personality then with say Buffy's. Dawn you have some place we can talk without being overheard or you think we should wait till we get back?"

Dawn frowned, "We should wait till we get back," Dawn smiled at Faith. "Besides it's more fun this way. But honest Faith, I think you'll get a kick out of it."

Harry frowned, "Alright you lost me not that gold is the most important thing but now I'm curious."

Hermione frowned, "Does it have something to do with magic?"

Willow smiled "Maybe though it has some downsides to think about as well. We would have to work those out. Though now that I have my gloves back I should be able to go to a world where I can cure Lupin of his problem of being a werewolf."

Ron's mouth opened in surprise, "Bloody hell how?"

Hermione scowled at Ron, "Don't swear Ron. But he does bring up a good point, no one has ever been able to find a cure for the disease, and according to Dawn your world doesn't have one either."

Willow shrugged, "Well the problem is that, at least in my world people were looking for a cure. Oz my first boyfriend found a way to partially control the change to keep his mind the Wolfs bane potion allows a wizard to keep his mind as well. Well I got to thinking that there must be a world where being a werewolf isn't a curse so we started looking. We think that if we go there and use a lot of powerful magic we should be able to realign things so that he is a natural shape changer rather then a cursed one."

Hermione frowned, "So using the idea that different worlds have different laws of magic you hope to be able to cure it by basically upgrading him to something else."

Willow grinned, "He has been a werewolf for most of his life, far too long for a simple cure I'm afraid."

Harry grinned, "I think he would be happy not losing his mind, anyway he can do it. Oh, on another subject, do you think we can go walk around town? I never get to simply walk around a Muggle city without either being yelled at by my aunt or having wizards watching to make sure it is safe. That and I want to pick up a copy of the Harry Potter books. I figure any hints might be nice."

Dawn chuckled, "Well that isn't a bad idea really besides it would be nice having a watcher that isn't some wet behind the ears researcher like Wesley was."

Faith shrugged, "Well he turned out alright after a few years as a rogue demon hunter. However, some better training would be good I think. What, aren't you going to give me any hints about what you're going to use to pay me? I'll get a pay check at some point right?"

Hermione chuckled, "Yeah we can pay you we just have to, well don't tell Buffy this I don't think she would approve but we are going to raid some dark wizards bank accounts to pay for the operations."

Faith started laughing, "Okay I think you guys are going to be a lot of fun."

Willow grinned, "I would hope so, I don't normally like stealing gold, but they are using it to hurt people, so they don't really need it. Dawn wanted a target that we wouldn't complain about when she went klepto girl on someone."

Harry shrugged, "Well hey, I'm not going to complain, we don't have an unlimited amount of resources. I have a lot of gold but it's not going to last forever."

Faith grinned, "Hey I'm convinced besides a little fun never hurt anyone."

Later:

Ron laughed, "I still can't believe you have six books written about you mate. I thought they were joking about that."

Harry scowled, "Well I'm sure there is a lot of you in the books as well. Nevertheless, I think we should look them over to see how accurate they are. Might give us some insight into what happens later."

Hermione smiled, "Well I got some other fun reading materials as well. I found some interesting books on magic though as Ron would say most are Muggle authors I would guess."

Dawn shrugged, "Well it's not like there are that many actual witches in this world. A great deal less then in your world really."

Ron frowned, "How come, shouldn't it be the same? I mean wouldn't there at least be Muggle born wizards?"

Willow shrugged, "Well we think that each world is a touch different as for how magic works. In this one, you wouldn't necessarily notice that you had the potential for magic. There are less for that reason and with more demons and supernatural things it might be balanced different. On the other hand, it could just be totally unrelated. We should get back before dark I don't think Buffy would be happy with us for patrolling on your first day here without any real training."

Hermione chuckled, "Well that's okay with me, though we still have our wands I would rather have a few classes on dealing with your world's vampire before I try it myself."

Ron shrugged, "Can it be that hard? You just light them on fire with an incindeo charm or the solarius charm."

Hermione blinked, "You paid attention when we were talking about something? Are you okay?"

Ron blushed, "Hey I looked those spells up after the whole my best friend is going to be a vampire slayer and I will be out helping. I'm not completely useless I just get bored in class Hermione."

Willow chuckled, "Alright you two, we should pick up some food and we can have a nice large dinner with the gang before heading out again. Is everyone okay with Pizza?"

Harry shrugged, "Yeah I'm fine with that."

Hermione laughed, "Sounds fine with me, how about pineapple and olives?"

Ginny frowned, "Pitza, dad mentioned that at some point, it is Muggle food right?"

Ron frowned, "Is it healthy?"

Willow laughed, "Not really."

Faith stared, "You don't know what Pizza is?"

Ron shrugged, "It's some Muggle food right?"

Faith frowned, "Okay Willow, I think Ron needs to go into the advanced Muggle studies class as taught by the young slayers, otherwise known as culture shock. Because otherwise how do you expect him to blend in, in any place outside of his little box. No offense Ron but I think you could have a lot of fun running around with a whole group of girls for a while."

Willow smiled slightly evilly "I'll talk to Giles and we can arrange something along those lines."

Ron looked at Harry with a what did I do look on his face, "Should I be scared or happy, Harry?"

Harry blinked "A bit of both I think. It will probably be good for you. Besides it will give you a chance to get out and sightsee."

Hermione frowned, "Besides this will give you a good idea what slayers can do without having to have me show you over and over."

Willow pulled out her cell phone, dialed the number of the pizza place and ordered enough pizza for the gang.

Later the group was gathered in the meeting room around the mostly empty pizza boxes.

Ron talked while inhaling his pizza "Blimey these Pitza things are pretty good guys."

Hermione scowled, "Stop talking with your mouth full Ron."

Willow sighed, "So you think you can take Ron for a while Buffy and have him ran ragged by some of the slayers so that he gets more exposed to Muggle life because if we don't he isn't going to fit in any place we are going to have to go without a better understanding of Muggle culture. The next place I plan on going is a lot more advanced tech wise then we are used too and I don't want to break him or have him say something that gets us broken. It's sort of an over the top computer run world so it might be nice to do some of the watcher protocol stuff now."

Ron grinned, "Well I wouldn't mind spending a few days with the girls I saw training, and yeah I guess I could work on some practical Muggle studies."

Ginny scowled, "So in other words cute girls and you're hooked?"

Ron grinned widely, "Basically yes."

Faith smiled at Ron, "Shallow much? Not that I blame you, I know the perfect girl to make sure you get a new Muggle studies lesson. Alexia should be perfect to show him around."

Dawn coughed, "Ah but she is…" Dawn blushed.

Faith grinned, "Exactly I think it's about the only way that he is going to take it seriously."

Buffy smiled, "Well I don't have any problem putting him up for a few days we have some watchers gone for the week so he can take their room. And we will get him back to you in one piece."

Ron frowned, "I'm missing something aren't I?"

Willow laughed, "Nothing major. Well Buffy I guess we will be leaving then."

Harry laughed, "We'll see you in a few days then Ron. You might try actually practicing your skills while here."

Lupin was carrying a number of volumes of books, "Thank you for the books I'll get them back to you after I look through them some."

Giles nodded his head, "Well I have copies of those but they are rather expensive so yeah I will be happy to have them back without damage."

Dawn grinned, "Alright Buffy we are just a call away with the crystal Giles should be able to make it work we left instructions with it on his desk. All he will have to do is find the crystal on his messy desk." She smiled and opened a large green portal. "Alright everyone that is going step through."

Faith, Lupin, Ginny, Hermione, Harry and Willow stepped through the portal followed by Dawn the portal closed behind her.

Faith looked around the house "Alright, interesting place so where do I stay?"

Harry grinned, "Okay what's so funny about the girl you suggested. You were laughing a bit too much for her to be just a random slayer."

Faith smiled "Well she is sort of an exhibitionist and doesn't mind using stripping as a method to get the guys to pay attention to her teaching I guess she was a really good tutor in school, so if anyone can get Ron to learn the things he should, it would be her."

Hermione chuckled "Okay that's, well not sure if it's mean or smart or if you just created a monster."

Harry shrugged, "Ah well, at least it's a chance to get some alone time where it's just him in a new place. With no past brothers or sibs of any type to overshadow him in this world, he might be happier. Oh and Faith no slaying the house elf."

Faith frowned, "Those things are real?"

Harry smiled "Dobby"

With a puff of smoke a small clean looking elf type creature appeared. "Ah Harry sir how can I help you?"

Harry smiled, "Show Miss Faith here to an empty room with a bath and start it for her."

Dobby nodded happily, "Yes of course sir, Dobby is most happy to help Miss Faith."

Dobby walked out of the room with a smirking Faith following.

Harry sighed, "I think I'm going try to work through some of the Harry Potter books tonight. I'll try to check the facts and such things to see if they are useful for anything."

Hermione grinned, "Well I'll take some of them as well."

Lupin nodded, "Alright in the morning we can do say two hours of class time on defense and say charms? Then in the afternoon, we can try transfiguration and potions I guess. And don't worry most of your hatred for Potions class comes from having a crappy teacher."

Hermione blinked in surprise, "Professor!"

Lupin shrugged, "Hey I'm not currently teaching at Hogwarts nor do I have to put up with that annoying git for a while, so I see no reason to give him a title he hasn't earned."

Lupin chuckled, "I think four hours a day should give us plenty of time to work things through. As for Ron, he can be caught up on the weekend. The first bit is just going to be me trying to figure out where to start with the lessons please try to keep in mind that other then defense these aren't the subjects that I taught. As for your extra classes Hermione, well I did get a newt in them so I shouldn't have too many problems helping you out. That does bring up something else that I was thinking about, but first Ginny, I think you're good enough with some help from Harry and Hermione to slip into the next years spell work. What with how Harry said you did in defense against the dark arts, if that is okay with you."

Ginny smiled "So I get to sort of get bumped a bit for learning and learn things a lot faster then I would otherwise learn things. Well I can go for that. Though I have been thinking about it, I would also like to try to learn some about medicine we don't have a doctor with us and we could use someone that at least has some interest in it."

Lupin grinned, "Well I know that the Black Library has a great number of books on the subject because of them not wanting to go to the hospital for curses that weren't legal. We can work on that if you want, though it will be tough. The main thing I want to toss on the table is I found Sirius's old diary for his animagus transformation. As well as your dad's old notes, I don't have Peter's but well those would hardly be worth burning to light fires but I think with those note books and a few of the rarer books from the black family library we should be able to walk you children through the transformation if you want."

Hermione blinked, "But if we don't register that would be illegal."

"Willow, Dawn sense it's your world and you are in charge is their any law about becoming animagi? I mean it's not like this is London or anything," Lupin smiled.

Willow grinned, "Well I can't see why not and it might give you a better edge in your travels if you learn how to change."

"That would be wicked cool what's the chances that I would turn into a stag?"

Ginny grinned, "Well count me in."

Lupin shrugged, "Well it's different for each person Harry, and it has a lot to do with personalities and magical blood lines so it's possible you could be a stag if you chose, it's not set in stone though."

Willow grinned, "Okay I'm going after the next slayer in the morning. From what I could find out with magic she is some type of computer hacker, the tech in that world is a good deal more advanced then ours so I'm hoping to pick up a large number of supplies as well as see about acquiring a computer network and systems there. It would put us ahead of the game to have more advanced technologies then what we can find in our world. Anyone have any moral objections?"

Lupin shrugged, "Not sure, though maybe we should draw up some guidelines for that or what about selling technology in less advanced worlds or magic from one world to another that could cause a large amount of destabilization. I don't want to say that we shouldn't benefit being that we are fighting the forces of darkness but I don't want to cause suffering or damage to worlds that we travel in."

Dawn frowned, "Sort of like a prime directive I guess. I've been spending too much time with Andrew I think. Though that isn't a bad idea really. Willow what about getting Andrew to draft it up?"

Willow frowned, "Why Andrew? I mean he isn't the most legal minded."

Dawn grinned, "Well no but he has watched more videos and seen more science fiction movies in all different areas and is the most insane Star Trek fanatic we know and therefore has some idea what should be in a document that is a charter for exploring new worlds."

Willow frowned, "I must be more tired than I thought because that makes a strange type of sense. We can trade that job off when we pick up Ron. There is something that I wanted to ask about though, I'm just not quite sure how to ask. How long do wizards live?"

Hermione frowned, "Well I think it depends on power but some can live a very long time say two hundred years or slightly more at max. Though one of Dumbledore's friends is over six and a half centuries but he used a sorcerer's stone and an elixir of life."

Willow smiled "How would you like to be immortal?"

Hermione frowned "Like never age or can't die like Voldemort?"

Willow grinned, "No like a friend of Buffy's, the Immortal. He doesn't grow old and heals from almost any injury save one. You cut off his head he dies. But other than that he will continue to live forever, he didn't give up his soul or anything but he is immortal and I think with all of the power stored in one of the items I have I could make you all immortal. I would just be curious if you wanted to do it. I'm going through with it because I'm the nexus of the slayers so I feel like I have to stay around plus well not dieing has a lot of appeal."

Harry blinked, "So it's not evil?"

Lupin frowned, "While your offer is tempting I think I'll settle for fixing the werewolf part of me and living out my life. But it's nice of you to offer it."

Ginny frowned, "Alright what's the downside you have one of those looks Willow."

Willow sighed, "Alright I got to talking to Adam Pierson otherwise called the Immortal when Buffy met him in Rome, we did some magical tests on him to see what type of demon he was, it turns out that he isn't a demon, but some type of human as far as we can tell. I reverse engineered his immortality as a project but it required so much power that I didn't ever think I was going to be able to pull it off without weeks of headaches and nose bleeds. However, with the cleansed power I have left in one of my magical storage devices I think I have enough power to make a few of you immortal if you want. The downsides are well two things really, and they both suck. One you have to die a violent death to trigger the immortality otherwise you just get old and die a natural death and that's it. However, from your first death onwards you do not age you heal from almost any wound though you could still lose a limb most likely so that's not a good idea. Nevertheless, unless your head comes off you are going to come back from the dead. So in other words Harry, I think it would be useful in your fight against Voldemort. The other downside is once I cast the spell you cannot have children. You become unable to; the equipment still works just no children so to speak. I tried for weeks to fix that part but it is so twined into the spell that it is most likely impossible, so if you want to go for the immortality your best bet is to have any children before we cast the spell. Because after we cast the spell there is no turning back and likely no chance of having children."

Hermione frowned, "So one shot deal we have you cast the spell then get killed to fix ourselves at an age we want and we stay that way forever unless our head comes off?"

Ginny frowned, "Okay other then the no children part I'm not seeing a flaw in that."

Harry frowned, "Well Dumbledore did say that death was just the next step in a grand adventure. But honestly being immortal to face the forces of darkness sounds like a damn good idea to me."

Faith stood in her robe in the shadows on the stairs "Fuck yeah it does, so does the offer extend to me as well Red?"

Willow grinned, "Yes the offer extends to you if you want it to. I figure you are more of that not wanting to die and have fun for eternity thing then Buffy ever was."

Dawn shrugged, "So basically Adam is from another world, as far as we can get him to explain he was immortal in the other world but was somehow tossed a few hundred years into the past of this world right around the time of Glory. So most likely, it's sort of our fault that he is in our world though why he was sent back I'm not sure. But he is has been living it up in our world for more then two hundred years without breaking things so I'm not all that worried."

Ginny frowned, "How long do we have before we have to decide for this immortality?"

Willow frowned, "Well we have a while maybe a few years before the gloves lose so much power that I can no longer cast the spell. The longer we wait the harder the spells will be to power. However, with how the traveling works we could easily hide in a world for a while before we were pulled back. But that isn't really the point we have time for us to have children if we wanted them. It's just a matter of finding who you want children with and all those details."

Ginny looked over at Harry as he looked at her and blushed. Hermione looked at Willow and Dawn then looked at Harry and blushed.

Faith walked over, "So if we want to have children we are going to have to have them soon so that we are still young enough to enjoy life when we decide to become immortal. Well I for one say we go for it. I mean nothing for it."

Harry blinked a few times, "I think I need some time to think about it but yeah I think I'm going to do it. Let's face it, without some edge and time I would lose against Voldemort. I don't want to lose and for years I always thought the best I could hope for was some type of mutual destruction of Voldemort but this is the first thing to give me hope that I might 'live' through it."

Lupin grimaced, "I'd like to check over your notes Willow before you do something this large with my students but I'm not going to stop them, it's their choice. I am curious when you are going to help me with the werewolf problem. As well as if you have any ideas for expanding this place?"

Willow grinned, "Well yeah I was going to have Xander take a look at the place, he is a carpenter and with Ginny and Neville's help should be able to work out how to upgrade some things around the house, that is if Ginny is up for it."

Ginny grinned, "Well how soon are you thinking about it? As long as I have some time to study up on the theory for magical home repair I will be able to help."

Willow shrugged, "Well not really anything urgent right now but it will be later when we have more slayers."

Dawn frowned, "I think I'll go check on Neville to see how the garden is going and to see if he has any ideas on improving things, I'm voting for a pool outside. Though that might require some walls to push the astral void back some so we aren't freaked looking at it. Okay, not to embarrass people but you might give some thoughts to children or at least who to use for a father. I don't really want to have to transport many people here or there but if I have too I have too. Get some sleep people." Dawn walked off as the others had sort of stunned faces.

Lupin coughed, "I'm going to go get some sleep now. We have a long day tomorrow though according to the clock it's not that late." Lupin headed up the stairs.

Faith grinned, "Well food for thought at least, combat training starts after the first set of classes and before lunch then some light work after lunch then some free time, then classes, then well we will see. But I'm going to go enjoy my bath." Faith sauntered up the stairs.

Willow smiled at Ginny, Harry and Hermione, "Do you care for some tea? Giles always likes tea while he is thinking."

Harry blinked, "Yeah tea sounds good."

Willow waved her hand heating the water in the teakettle as she levitated the tea and teapot over to the table, as well as some cups.

Hermione smiled and poured the tea after it landed. "So what's on your mind love?"

Willow frowned, "Well you know I love you and Dawn right Hermione?"

Hermione nodded "Yes, you have told me that, something wrong?"

Willow sighed, "Not really though I've given it a lot of thought and I sort of want children, but that sort of means well having a guy's help. I wanted to make sure you were okay with it."

Hermione blushed, "Oh well I sort of have the same problem plus well I sort of like Ron as well but he is so childish some times."

Harry blushed "Ah why am I here, I'm not sure I should be hearing this."

Ginny blinked and then started laughing, "I can't think of anyone better than Harry, can you?"

Hermione blushed. "Well I trust him, though if you're not okay with him helping me out I'll understand."

Ginny laughed, "Well I'm fine with it though I might have to explain it to Harry."

"Help you out with what? Oh!" Harry's face turned bright red.

Ginny chuckled "I guess I don't have to explain it to him. He got the general idea."

"I'm not sure I can help you without being embarrassed as hell but isn't there some magic way to skip the whole embarrassing thing?"

Ginny laughed, "I'm afraid not, there is no magical way and Muggle ways screw up a child's magic. But on the upside there are ways to make fairly sure that the time is right for the girl to have children so you only have to do it once per girl per child." Ginny laughed and watched Harry's face turn even redder.

Harry coughed, "Why me?"

Willow shrugged, "Four reasons for me, you're cute, Hermione loves you, you have a lot of magical power, and you are an honest good person."

Hermione smiled, "I can't think of anyone else I would even consider having a child with, maybe Ron if he grew up a touch more. However, as it is he would go all strange and crazy control freak nuts. Maybe at some point I wouldn't mind having a relationship with him but not a child."

Ginny grinned, "Oh and you aren't going to get away with giving them a child and leave me out of it. Not going to let you off that hook besides it's not as if Ron is an option cause gross and Lupin while stylish is old. Besides I happen to love you Harry James Potter."

Harry chuckled slightly, "Well I did always want a family but I didn't really expect it to be like this. So who is Dawn going to pick?"

Willow chuckled, "I'm not sure she might go after Ron might go after you Harry, I figure Faith will go after Ron or Lupin, not really sure."

Hermione frowned, "That might be hard being that Lupin loves Tonks."

Willow shrugged, "So most likely Ron will get his bones jumped when he gets back, are you okay with that Hermione?"

Hermione shrugged, "Well if you had asked me that at the beginning of the summer I would have said no, but well friendships can take many forms. Oh and thank you for the silence spell Harry, how much did you hear anyways?"

Harry's ears were still red from before, "Enough to know that you were having fun and doing things with the other girls that Ron would have loved to watch."

Hermione smiled and sipped her tea "What and you wouldn't?"

Harry shrugged, "Well okay most guys with a heartbeat would but you're really special Hermione, and I want you happy, bursting in on you wouldn't have made you happy. Nor would acting like an idiot. So yeah whenever you want help I'll help you with the children thing because it makes sense to have some before we use the spell."

Willow blushed, "Well how about after we come back from getting the next slayer, we can start the happy times? I'm not even sure what to call it."

Ginny chuckled, "I believe start the bed springs bouncing time?"

Harry blushed and coughed. "Ginny that's awful."

Willow looked Ginny over, "You sure you don't swing for the other team?"

Ginny shrugged, "Pretty sure, though I do like massages."

Harry smiled, "Well maybe we can do that tomorrow. I have a feeling that we are all going to need some massages after tomorrow's workout."
