Author's notes: I don't own anything but the plot and any characters you might later see that you don't recognize.

Disclaimer in addition to the wonderful people that own Buffy the Vampire slayer and J.K. Rowling that owns Harry Potter I'm going to be crossing with a custom dungeons and dragons world. I guess the people at Wizards of the Coast own the system that started things, though the world is my own. In other words, I own the characters and they own the system I guess. I'm still not making any profit off this story.

In the morning, a mostly awake group consisting of Dawn Summers, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger and Willow Rosenberg stood in the portal room, an old study that had been converted into the portal room, a conversion that mostly entailed ripping out all the furnishings.

"Alright I'm going to open the portal soon and send you through Willow, here take this crystal it has some of my blood in it and will work as a focus point so I can gather you when you are ready to leave." Dawn handed Willow a small clear crystal with some red liquid in the inside.

Willow put it carefully in her pocket, "Alright the plan is to get to the world find the slayer, cast the spell to help Remus here then get back, so we will see how long that takes."

Remus turned and looked at Hermione, "Alright Hermione you're in charge of teaching the wizardry classes while I'm gone. Try to help Ginny and Neville out with their subjects and I'll help Harry out while we are traveling." Remus held up the small worn book he was carrying. "This is a guide to animagi read through it and think about what type of animal you want to become."

Ginny walked over to Willow and huged her and Harry tightly. "Stay safe and if you want you can start on that trying to start a family thing."

Harry turned beat red.

Willow blushed, "We can see what happens, I guess I'm more concerned with the whole curing Remus of his issues first."

Remus chuckled, "Alright I expect Faith to tell us that you have been good for her, if not well I'm sure she can think of something."

Ginny grinned, "Make sure you bring back souvenirs, girls like jewelry."

Willow and Harry both nodded their heads.

Dawn smiled, raised her hands and opened a shinning green portal to elsewhere.

Remus stepped through as did Willow and Harry. The portal closes behind the group.

Faith put her head in the room and smiled "So do we party now? Ginny how is your conjuring?"

Ginny shrugged, "Well with Dawn's help to gather stuff from someplace I should be able to transfigure what Xander needs, if that is what you mean."

Faith nodded, "I plan to have this place ship shape by the time they get back."

Ginny nods, "We should get started then." The group headed off.

Meanwhile the away mission founds themselves looking around an ancient forest for signs of life.

Willow frowned, "I don't see anyone else so I guess we are just going to have to find them."

Harry pulled out his wand and looked around.

A female's voice rang out from the trees, "Hello travelers, what brings you to this dark scary forest?"

Willow looked around at the shadows from the trees. "We are looking for someone and the spell dropped us off here. It doesn't seem that scary and it has a nice feel to it."

Girl's voice, "So in other words you are waving around a dangerous wand in a forest that you have no right to be in, so who are you looking for?"

Willow looked around, "We are looking for a young girl. She is maybe eleven to twenty or so years that might have recently acquired a greater then normal amount of strength."

"Interesting what do you want with Violet?"

Remus looked around and tried to place where the voice was coming from, "We need to talk to her because of what she is, a Vampire Slayer."

"Well my name is Coloranesti or Colora for short. I think you should talk to Grim about her charge. Though I'm not sure you should be armed when you talk to her but as you're all spell casters, I don't see how I can disarm you."

A gentle thump was heard as if from a girl landing from a jump, a second later a young teenage girl appeared right before their eyes as if she canceled a disillusion charm. The girl stood a few inches taller then Willow. The most shocking thing about her was the green hair and green eyebrows.

Harry blinked a few times, "What are you?"

Colora grinned, "I mentioned that I am called Colora. Do I have your word that you aren't going to try to hurt Violet or Grim?"

Willow nodded, "We don't want to hurt anyone we just want to help her understand what's happening."

Colora shook her head her long green hair waving in the slight breeze, "Violet takes a little bit to get used too, she is rather shy of people. She used to be a slave before Grim freed her, she sort of works as a servant now. She is a little off though just to warn you. If you have any stupid ideas that you are going to take her some place against her will then forget them. Grim and I would have to stop you from taking her."

Remus frowned, "How did you become invisible?"

Colora looked over at Remus and shrugged, "I just can. Follow me please."

Willow looked at Colora a touch strangely. "Alright I guess we just have to trust you not to be some evil demon."

Colora scowled looking angry for a minute, "Well I'm not a demon, not that it helps, though I suppose most demons aren't going to admit to being demons either."

Harry put his wand away in his cloak pocket.

The group followed along a path through old fruit trees as well as ancient maple and a few other hardwood trees, before things opened out to a clearing with a pool and a two-story crystal tower. A very tall well toned girl with ankle length bright red hair and pointy elven ears stood with not a stitch of clothes. Trying to hide behind her was a middle sized girl with long brown hair with strange violet tattooed symbols on her skin. A neatly folded pile of clothes sat on a stone bench near the edge of the pool.

Colora smiled, "The tall girl is Grim and the other one is Violet."

Grim stoood tall seemingly not the least concerned about not wearing clothes "Ah, not that I don't like guests but why are you here and how did you get into my mother's woods, they are cursed or enchanted depending on your point of reference."

Willow smiled slightly while checking out Grim, "Well we came looking for your friend. We are part of a group that watches over slayers and helps them in their vampire hunting and demon slaying duties."

Grim raised an eyebrow, "So you expect to have Violet hunt demons?"

Willow frowned, "I know demons are a lot to take in and all of that."

Grim shook her head, "Oh, no it's not the demons part that is causing me to have issues with what you are saying, it's the fact that I have never heard about the slayers part."

Violet glanced around Grim and spoke in a soft voice, "Why do you want me? I don't want to hurt people."

Willow sighed, "We aren't going to hurt you, though fighting demons isn't the easiest thing in the world. But that's why you were chosen, to be the girl that fights the darkness."

Grim frowned, "So who chose her?"

Willow shrugged, "The powers that be, the gods or the powers of good, I'm not sure how exactly it works. I know that you were chosen because we activated the slayer line."

Grim frowned, "Okay you aren't making much sense, Violet you want to get dressed so the young wizard's eyes aren't falling out of his head?"

Violet nodded and rushed over to pull on a cloak, some grey pants, and a blouse.

Harry blushed and pulled his eyes off of Violet and Grim.

Willow blushed slightly though she did look to be enjoying the view, "What about your own clothes?"

Grim smiled at Harry and Willow then nodded to Remus and said, "I'm not all that concerned about it, I don't mind him or you looking. Vampire slayer eh? You don't mind if I cast a truth spell and have you tell the whole story, do you? Because otherwise I'm not going to let you take Violet. Not that I'm one to complain about people being something other than human but what exactly is that one?" Grim pointed at Lupin. "He doesn't seem human."

Willow shrugged, "Well neither do you or Colora. As for Remus well I'll let him explain."

Remus Lupin sighed, "I'm a werewolf." He waits for the normal shocked reactions.

Grim frowned, "You don't feel like a werewolf, they feel natural, normal even, you feel almost cursed."

Remus blinked in shock, "How else would you be a werewolf?"

Violet finished dressing and once again hid behind Grim.

Grim looked at Remus, "So you got cursed with being one, who did you piss off?"

Remus frowned, "No I was bitten. Isn't that how it spreads on this world?"

Grim frowned, "Well yeah that is one way though we see more natural werewolves then we do cursed ones. You should have someone attempt to fix that curse, so yeah if you want to have a seat you can tell us why you should be trusted. Let me cast that spell first."

With a few gestures and some softly spoken words a small blue orb of light appeared.

Grim grinned, "The spell changes colors depending on if you tell the truth or lie."

Harry smiled, "Wicked, a truth spell, that's interesting I didn't know people could do that."

Colora smiled "Grim can do a lot of things, now please take a seat and tell us about the vampire slayer stuff."

Willow smiled "Alright as the world that we came from started off as a world of demons before man took over and some powerful men used magic to forge a warrior of light."

Willow continued and talked for a few hours going over the slayer background.

Grim smiled "Well you tell an interesting story and the orb only went orange a few times. You have a school where you would train Violet to hunt demons. Depends on what Violet has to say but I believe you."

Violet frowned, "So I would have a place to stay and things to do, and I'm needed?"

Willow nodded, "If you came with us you would have a place to stay and things to do as well as being needed."

Grim frowned, "I'll miss you Violet but it sounds like they can help with the visions and dreams. Besides, they seem nice and Willow is a cutie. Though the wizard's eyes wander a bit but he is a young man so I guess that's normal."

Willow blushed, "Well to be fair you are really good looking and aren't wearing clothes."

Harry blushed, "I'm not really used to this type of thing."

Colora chuckled and looked at Grim, "You know the others are right, some times you are just plan mean to the boys."

Grim smiled "It's a hobby, so if you need my help I can try to help you break your friend's curse. Well sort of, my mother probably has a ritual that can change him from a cursed werewolf to a real one without the whole blood rage thirst and hoards of issues that the curse brings."

Remus blinked, "It's really possible? I was afraid to get my hopes up, I've dealt with the curse for so long that I'm afraid I was resigned to deal with it for the rest of my short life."

Grim shrugged, "Well I'll check and we can perform the ritual tonight on the full moon. I'll get the chains to hold him as well. The ritual is rather painful and has to be completed after the moon is out."

Willow blinked, "You have chains with you?"

Grim blushed "Well you never know what you might need them for, besides I have a lot of things in my bag. But yeah Colora if you will keep the visitors company, I'll go track down that spell as well get some food."

Willow and Colora both smiled as they watched Grim's retreating backside as she walked away.

Willow smiled, "So what was with the pointed ears?"

Colora shrugged, "Well she is an elf more or less."

Harry frowned, "That's an elf? But she is so tall and didn't want to serve people, plus she is hot."

Colora blinked, "While I admit she is a bit taller then normal for an elf but what's this serve part?"

Remus shook his head, "So in other words she isn't a house elf?"

Colora frowned, "No she is just an elf, I've never heard of a house elf."

Willow shrugged, "Well there were bound to be different types of elves in worlds. So how do you do what you do Colora?"

Colora looked around at the group "I'm a warlock; I just have some special powers and such. I could probably teach Harry some of what I know he seems to have some of the traits needed."

Willow frowned, "Wait how come he has the power to become a warlock? Shouldn't Remus have a similar chance at the power?"

Colora shrugged, "Well it's normally people with strange blood that develop the power a warlock can control either that or evil packs with demons. Now before you ask I'm part dragon, I'm assuming that's how I got my magic. I'm only guessing but I think your power comes from Fairies so one of your ancestors was some fairy creature. Though I could be wrong and it could come from something else."

Harry frowned, "Well not sure where it would have come from I'm not sure that we have any of those groups in my world."

Willow grinned, "Well it could just be random chance or something else. Let's not worry about it right now until we know if you can do some of the things she can with your magic. So does Grim always dress like that?"

Colora smiled "Sadly no, she wears clothes in places that she has to wear clothes. But she does like the attention; she does know a lot of different types of magic if you're interested in learning some."

Willow smiled, "Well I'm always interested in learning some new magic, I have to go over that with her though we don't have a large amount of money."

Colora chuckled, "Well I'm sure you could help her out with something or another she isn't all that worried about gold. I will point out that while she has no problem with guys looking, the last guy to touch her without her permission was tossed across the room into a wall." Colora smiled at Harry.

Harry gulped, "I'll remember that, I wouldn't want to offend her."

Grim came back smiling carrying a scroll case and a large platter of food as well as trailing a few sets of large chains.

Grim set the platter down on the bench. "Have some food and we can get set up. Which one of you wants to read the ritual?"

Harry looked at Willow then looked back at Grim before he pointed at Willow.

Willow frowned, "I'll do it. It's not exactly Harry's type of magic."

Grim shrugged, "Understandable give it a few minutes of reading and it should be workable if not I'll have a go at it."

Remus frowned, "Alright so what does the ritual involve?"

Grim smirked as Willow blushed a bit, "Well it is part spell part dance part sky clad ritual."

Remus frowned, "Oh, you sure you want to do this?"

Willow sighed, "Yeah, I'm not going to let our best chance to fix your curse be lost just because I have to do the ritual without clothes. I'll hex you to hell if you laugh at me Harry or tell people."

Harry grinned, "No thanks I like my limbs where they are. So what part do I play in the ritual or do I?"

Willow smiled, "Well I think that you can be a source of power for the spell it takes a lot of power to get the attention of Loki their god of shape changers."

Grim nodded, "I think it will work though, we can try it after the moon comes up."

Willow frowned, "So are you going to charge us for the ritual?"

Grim flashed Willow a semi lecherous smile, "Well I figure I'm helping get rid of a curse that can be spread and turning it into something interesting. Second, I get to see a girl dance around without clothes casting a powerful magical ritual. I think that's just fine as far as payment goes."

Violet frowned, "What am I going to do?"

Grim chuckled, "Well you can be another dancer or watch to make sure that Remus doesn't break the chains while the ritual is going on or you can sit this one out."

Violet frowned "I think I will make sure that Remus doesn't get lose."

Harry frowned, "So what type of elf are you? If I can ask and have you ever heard of house elves?"

Grim frowned, "Well I'm an elf, no real type I guess, as for if I have heard of house elves, no I can't say that I have. What are they?"

Harry frowned, "Well my world has a race of elves but they are short like two maybe two and a half foot creatures with pointed ears. They served wizards."

"No can't say that I have ever heard of any group that would fit that description. Besides, I don't tend to follow directions that well. So I'm not likely to serve wizards, now a cute witch maybe. So do you like the fruit?" Grim winked at Willow.

Harry hurriedly took an orange and peeled it before eating a slice. "They taste pretty good."

Willow nodded, "I do like the fruit. So do you think we could share some spells and such after the ritual is over?"

Grim smiled, "I would like that, every bit of magic learned is more you have when you need it. Besides it's not often that I find someone that likes magic as much as I do."

Colora chuckled, "Not too many people do Grim."

Grim shrugged, "Hey I'm good at it and it is fun so I think I'll keep at it, see where it takes me."

Willow smiled, "So when did you start learning magic?"

Grim shrugged her shoulders, "Well I sort of grew up with it, my mother is a witch. We had many dealings with strange magic and such things over the years. I think one of my favorite things to do though is to visit the wizard city Ishara after making a run through one of the dungeons of adventurer doom."

Willow frowned, "Ah, any reason for the dungeon running? And there is a whole magic city?"

Harry shrugged, "Hey we have a magical town, though it's hidden. Is your city hidden and how much do non magic folk know about magic people?"

Colora grinned, "Well let's see the city has walls around it and large gates and such as for being hidden not really, though only magic users or friends of magic users are allowed inside."

Grim nodded, "It's an interesting place; I like the shops there, you can acquire some really neat items of power. Well if you have the gold, you can. That is the main reason to go hunting the dungeons, for gold."

Willow's face lit up, "Oh like what can you acquire?"

Grim grinned, "Well flaming swords, staves able to blast things into pieces, rings of invisibility as well as other neat things, maybe after this is all over I'll show you how to get there. I would love to have dinner with you. I mean unless you have someone else."

Willow smiled "Well I do have someone else but that doesn't mean I would want to miss out on having dinner with someone, to get to know them better."

Grim smiled at the rest of the group, "You all are invited to come with us if you want."

Remus looked up from being secured with the chains, "Thank you, I think I'll finally have something to celebrate if this works the way you think it should."

Harry blushed, "I don't have to be err that is to say that I can keep my clothes right?"

Grim smiled "Sure you can, Loki is male, it's mostly an eye candy thing for him, to make him happy any little bit helps you see."

Willow chuckled, "So in other words it doesn't have any actual magical reasoning, other then to get the god's attention?"

Colora chuckled and nodded, "Basically yeah that's about it."

Willow shuffled around and looked up at the sky as Remus started growling and shaking, "Looks about ready to shift so do we have to wait for full moon light?"

Grim looked over the spell book for a few minutes as Lupin changed into a snarling beast. He pulled savagely at the chains. "No I don't think so I think we can start as soon as we are ready."

"Well I guess I don't have much choice do I, at least Remus isn't going to remember, and if you tell a soul Harry." Willow slipped out of her clothes quickly.

Harry blushed transfixed by the sight of Willow's pale soft looking skin. "Ah… so what do I need to do?"

Grim smiled at Willow then glanced at Harry, "Well put your tongue back in your mouth and sit down and concentrate on a happy thought of Remus while Willow and I dance around working through the spell, you have to also keep yourself open so that Willow can use your power to fuel the spell to fix Remus Lupin."

Harry with a slightly glazed look to his eyes settled himself on the ground where he had a view of both Remus and the girls dancing around.

Colora slipped out of her clothes as well in order to help with the dancing requirement. Her movements were fluid and strong as she started to dance around the chained werewolf staying just out of reach of the chained monster.

Violet looked down on the monster watching for any sign of the chains not holding, chains she knew were sturdy but still a touch afraid of the snarling monster before her. She shuddered as a new feeling told her there was something strange about all of her companions. Violet shook the feeling off and went back to watching the werewolf for signs of escape.

Grim smiled and started dancing around with Colora. At points, they danced together as partners at other times they dance counter balance to each other around the circle.

Harry was mostly in happy shock but he had a trickle of fear as he finally started to understand just how much magic this was going to take and just how strong Willow had to be to have any hope of pulling off something that most learned Wizards in his world would think impossible. Harry's thoughts, 'Okay just watch Remus not the incredibly cute girls dancing around, why shouldn't I look, Ginny said she was okay with us looking." Harry could hear his own mental voice with almost a Snape like sneer, 'You should be looking away.' Harry sighed, 'What normal guy wouldn't look, okay I'm supposed to think about being open for her to use my magic think about magic Harry and not the bouncing of certain body parts.' Harry buried his head in his hands and tried to concentrate on remaining open to the magic something only a few bad lessons in occlumency had even come close to preparing him for.

Willow looked down nervously at Grim's hand written piece of parchment wedged into the open book, "Alright me, it's time to start the spell. Just don't worry that you are calling on Loki a god of chaos for help. You have called on other gods including Hecate you can do this." Willow took a long deep breath and read from the book in front of her. "Oh great and powerful Loki, lord of the changing breeds, I ask your favor this moonlit night, a night for your true children to walk the land, a curse has been placed on this child of magic. Someone thought to take from you the choice in who was blessed with your power and might. They caused a child to suffer something that was never supposed to be a curse. We ask that you oh great one lift the curse. We ask for this as a way to change fate to break an evil curse and to restore honor to your gifts." Willow finished with a strong voice.

Willow raised a hand and pointed at Harry. A golden light leisurely flowed from Harry into Willow as her eyes and hair bleached white. Sparkles of light played along Willow's soft skin before they flowed out of Willow's other hand. They picked up speed and spun around while pouring into the werewolf's mouth. With horribly silent screams, the werewolf started convulsing as his bones broke and twisted. His body slowly changed from a mangy cursed werewolf to something more frightening if more noble looking. His legs straightened out with eerie snapping noises. His back also seemed to straighten. His chest made sickening wet squishing sounds as his vertebrae broke and his chest literally ripped itself apart while reforming into something larger and more massive. The changes slowed for a minute as if the magic was letting the pain stop for a second as a reprieve, before long the snapping sounds started again as the bones in his arms settled into a more proportioned shape. The magic washed away the dirt and grime in Remus's warped claws as the nails reformed straightening themselves as they changed.

With shaking fury, a look of blind bloodlust and pain induced insanity in his eyes the monster that was Remus Lupin pulled at the chains in a fearsome attempt to rip them from the ground. The chains started to bend and slowly break apart from the force of Remus' struggles.

Grim and Colora continued dancing as Willow lost herself in the feeling of working so much magic. Harry was left staring at an enraged Remus Lupin's large new white werewolf form. Harry reached for his wand in vain as he feels the last of his strength and magic drain. The last thing he saw were the chains shattering before he blacked out.
