DISCLAIMER!!!!! I don't own these characters, just Sirius' adorable little sister Michelle. Joss Whedon and JK Rowling own Buffy and Harry Potter respectively. I'm just playing in their sandboxes with a friend… Oh and this is going up without being given the once over by my beta btw. Without further ado here is more of Sisters Divided. Oh, and reviews would be appreciated big time!
AN: I just noticed I've used a Cat's Cradle a lot to keep people occupied…Why not? I mean those things are wicked fun!!! One of them kept my twenty two year old cousin for almost an hour last weekend…leaving me and my sister to entertain her eight month old baby. I'm not complaining! I love that kid to pieces! I swear he gets taller every time I see him; even if it's been two days. :) He's way too cute!

The next morning everyone stumbled out into the driveway at the Rosenberg house at four-thirty. Angel was curious as to where they were going but he didn't ask; he was too busy playing with the cat's cradle that Willow had handed him.
Cordelia glared at James for making them get up that early in the morning without coffee. His excuse was that she could get some once they made it to England. Once they were there she could have all the espressos she wanted. At the promise of endless caffeine Cordy had relented and James had won that round.
"So Mister-I-Have-a-Plan what's the plan?" Cordy asked James through a yawn.
"You drive all of us about an hour away from Sunnydale in any direction other than east. We ditch the car somewhere where it won't be found by the police and use a port key to get to England. It's foolproof incase Sirius does something stupid and it's all perfectly legal."
Sirius glared at his best friend and said "I resemble that remark as well as resent it."
Willow shook her head and looked at the car. "How do you Geniuses plan to fit seven people in a five passenger convertible? Because I called shotgun and expect to get it, and you know that Angel will want to sit next to me. There's no way three people are going to fit in the two front seats comfortably."
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Magic darling little sister is the key to most solutions. In this case we will be using an enlargement charm on the lovely Miss Chase's vehicle. On the outside it will look the same, but on the inside we'll be able to fit up to twenty people quite comfortably."
"Works for me." Willow said as she threw her duffle bag in the trunk along with the suitcase full of her and Angel's clothes.
Ten minutes later everyone was comfortably seated in the seat of their choice (except for Xander; he had wanted to sit shotgun but Willow had obviously beat him to it) and were for the most part back asleep as Cordelia drove out of town.
At five thirty Cordy pulled off of the highway and found an abandoned barn to hide her car in. By five forty-five the first rays of sunlight were starting to show on the horizon.
"We're cutting it awfully close aren't we Giles?" Xander asked.
"Yes we are. Unless you gentlemen want a distraught young woman on your hands within the next ten minutes I suggest we get a move on." Giles suggested to James and Sirius. The two men in question were unloading the trunk and shrinking luggage to fit into a pocket.
"Just a tic mate. Me and James are almost done with all of your crap." Sirius responded as he struggled with one of Cordy's extensively large bags. "Kay we're done."
James pulled a nasty looking leather boot out of the trunk and Cordy made a face. "That thing was in the trunk with my $3,000 Luis Vatton suitcase? EWWW!!! I can't believe it!" She shuddered a few times before she regained her composure.
James rolled his eyes 'Girls!' he thought before proceeding. "Right then. Everybody put a finger on the boot and we're off."
Cordy opened her mouth to protest but quickly closed it when Giles gave her 'The Ripper Glare'. "Fine," was all she said and made a face as she put her index finger on the toe of the boot.
Willow grabbed a shoelace and Angel did the same. Xander, Giles, Sirius and James held the boot by the opening and the hole in the heel.
"Do you think we look ridiculous?" Xander whispered to Giles after they had been in the same position for five minutes.
"Of course we do Xander. There are five grown men and two teenaged girls holding onto a disgusting old boot like it possesses the answers to all of their problems."
"Oh" Xander had planned to say more but at that moment the port key activated sending the seven people gripping the boot on the ride of their lives.

"OOPSY?!?!?!?!?!?" Lily shrieked sounding incredulous.
Buffy bit her lip, maybe 'oopsy' hadn't been the best word to use to describe her current situation to her older sister. "I met Spike in Sunnydale. It's a Hellmouth. Hellmouth-y things happen there, like William the Bloody helping somebody 'dispose of' his Sire."
Lily narrowed her eyes at her sister and the bleach blond vampire to Lizzy's left. "You helped him dispose of Angelus? That's impossible."
Buffy bit her lip even harder. "I didn't say that was me he helped."
Remus sighed, this was going to be a long night. "But the way you said it implied it Liz." Remus almost groaned; he had said it out loud.
"Fine. I'll admit that he helped me 'off' Angelus for once and for all." Buffy huffed and slouched down further in her seat.
"This is great love. Let your friends keep on talking about me like I'm not even here. It's like being back in Sunnydale, only without Dru." Spike said adding his two cents. "You know Slayer I don't think I've been this bored in ages."
Buffy's head made contact with the table. Spike had used the 'S' word in front of her friend and her older sister. She was officially screwed now.
Remus sat up ramrod straight in shock. Lizzy was the Slayer. Lizzy Evans was the legendary Vampire Slayer. The one girl in the entire world who made it her mission in life to eradicate the world of mythical creatures like himself and the vampire across from him. He couldn't and wouldn't accept the truth.
"Gee thanks Spike for spilling my biggest secret to my pregnant sister and her werewolf friend. Now they'll probably hate me forever."
Lily looked from her baby sister to the man in between them. Her sister was the one girl in the entire world that Professor Binns had tried to convince everyone that didn't exist. Her mother was not going to like that.
Buffy saw the look she was getting from Lily and said "Surprise?"
Lily shook her head and got up from the table. She left a couple of bills for a tip for the busboy and headed for the car. "Come on Lizzy. We need to get home, the baby is kicking up a storm tonight." She reached their car. "Goodnight Remus." She called to her departing friend."
Remus waved and disappeared into the crowd of the London nightlife. Buffy plodded over to the car and walked around to the passenger side to get in.
"Hold up Pet." Spike said as he caught up to the pint-sized slayer.
"What do you want Spike?"
"You dropped this." He held up Mr. Pointy. "I thought you might want it back."
Buffy grabbed it and opened the car door. Spike slid into the seat.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Getting a lift to Surrey is what I'm doing." Was Spikes response. "You can dump me out once we reach the city limits. I swear I won't touch Big Sis or the little platelet in the belly."
Buffy saw that Lily had to no objection to this plan sighed and climbed in the back. "Whatever. But you are not crashing at our place and that's final."
Spikes grin said it all. He would have an invitation into the Evans home before the week was over and there was nothing Buffy could do to prevent it from happening.
-o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o-
Willow, Angel, Cordy, Xander, and Giles landed with a 'THUD!' on the floor of someone's office. James and Sirius were on their feet and were already speaking to the owner of the office.
"Hey Sir!" James said once he saw his boss. Sirius was helping his sister get to her feet.
Moody looked up from his paperwork. It was eleven thirty at night and he wanted to go home. Now his two most promising Aurors had to show up just as he was finishing his paperwork for the night. "You were never here tonight. You're going to show up here at eight a.m. and then I'll handle the paper work. Goodnight Black, Potter, Ms. Black and company."
James and Sirius ushered everyone out of Moody's office and into the golden elevator to the atrium of the Ministry.
"Wow." Xander looked around the atrium in shock. Everything in there was covered in gold, from the statue in the middle of the atrium to the desktop to the security desk in the corner. The strategically placed fire places even had gilded mantels against the black marble on that made up the flume. Everyone else was just as awe struck.
"Hey! I think I remember coming here with Daddy a couple of times!" Willow cried enthusiastically. "I forget why we came but I remember the Minister of Magic said I was pretty and would be a heartbreaker when I made it to Hogwarts."
Sirius smiled. "I remember that day too Shelly. Mum had wanted to send Regulus with you and Father but Regulus was sick and Father wouldn't let him come with us. I went instead and Mum was pissed."
Willow nodded remembering as James directed the large group to an open grate. "Then you and I left tons of Dung bombs in someone's office and blamed it on Lucius Malfoy and got away with it!"
"Good times Michelle, good times." Sirius and Michelle were the last to floo to Godric's Hollow and both stayed up all night reminiscing about their childhoods and what each had missed out on.
