When Harry woke up he had Hermione and Faith standing in the room with him, Hermione was sitting by the bed and Faith was standing by the doorway with some sort of long thin blade in her hand. Faith was nervously pacing spinning the knife in her in her hands.
"That better not be silver," Harry said laughing and Hermione looked up and Faith nearly dropped the knife that she was holding causing Harry to chuckle.
"Not funny," Faith said even though she had a ghost of a smile across her face.
"I think it was," Harry said "after all I didn't think that it was normal for you to be walking spinning a knife in your hand for the last hour and a half."
"How do you know that?" Faith said
"Just because I seem to be asleep doesn't mean that I don't know what is going on" Harry said "its a vampire sense that I am able sense those around me it is like seeing with my eyes closed,"
"Yeah well your a dick," Faith said which caused Harry to laugh "yeah well you fainted."
Then the door opened and Kane, Buffy and the vampires stepped into the room.
"Hey," Kane said "are you ok?"
"You said you were a Potter," Harry said "but your death? How?"
"I was sacrificed," Kane said "for Dumbledore to have horocruxes well this body was anyway I really am death but I took the soul and body of your brother and moulded him into a way for me to be involved in this war to help you."
"Is he alive?" Harry asked "I mean could you leave his body and he could take over?"
"No," Kane said "there is just me in here now think of me as like a born death."
"Ok," Harry said "so why are you getting involved now? I mean why didn't you stop Voldemort from getting his body back."
"I couldn't," Kane said "there was no one to fight Dumbledore I was protecting you the best I could and I figured the return of Voldemort would stop Dumbledore from messing with your life when in fact it did the opposite and he decided to use you as a sacrifice to fight Voldemort but now luckily with you being a vampire and a magical vampire there is no way that they can stop you from killing them,"
"How?" Harry said "their horocruxes can keep them safe."
"Destroying a Horocrux normally injures the person that does it, Voldemort would have set traps to hurt wizards he would not foresee a vampire taking interest in him, also you can ghost around wards before they even know you are there you could wipe out their forces."
As Harry let what Kane said sink in he couldn't help thinking that Kane was obviously a lot stronger than him as he was death also and he wondered if he could be to do with the prophecy between Voldemort and himself and he wondered if Kane would have been the prophecy child if he hadn't been killed.
"So what's the plan?" Angel said
"Well," Kane said "Harry needs to have more rest and then if you and Spike could help him refine his vampire abilities that would be a place to start,"
"What about us?" Faith and Buffy said at the same time
"Faith if you stay with Harry he just may need restraining if he has nightmares he shouldn't do because I will manipulate his sleeping pattern as I remove more of the blocks that Albus has put on him I am just reverting him back to how he should be it shouldn't take that long." Kane said "Buffy if you can just like patrol the area to make sure that there is no one from the order of Voldemort's forces in the local area,"
"I will help her," Hermione said "after all even though the slayer is strong magic can kill you from hundreds of yards away."
"Ok," Kane said and then sat down in the chair Hermione had been in "guys not to be rude but I need quiet to go through his mind."
"It' ok," they said and all walked out.
"So I will patrol now seen as how it is dark," Buffy said and turned to Hermione "if you don't want to come with me is there anything you can give me to protect me from magic?"
"No I'll come with you," Hermione said assuredly "I am just a little worried about Harry."
"Kane wouldn't hurt him," Buffy said "not if he wants to hurt him and Faith would kill him if he tried,"
As the two girls walked around they could not help but talk to each other and try to get to know one another better, they also could not help but notice similarities in their lives as Buffy had been chosen to be the slayer and had no choice in the matter just like Hermione had no choice in the fact that she was a witch. Also they were both outcasts as young children as even though they hadn't known it they were missing something from their lives as Hermione didn't have magic and Buffy didn't have slaying.
At the same time Kane and Faith were talking whilst Harry slept,
"So your death huh?" Faith said
"Yup," Kane replied
"I knew being a slayer got you to meet death quicker," Faith said "but I don't think this was what my watcher meant"
"Yeah me neither," Kane said with eyes closed.
"So," Faith said "I am guessing you know all possible outcomes for this war?"
"Yup," Kane said
"Is anything constant?" Faith asked
"Death," Kane said "destruction and the end of the world unless Harry wins."
Then Kane' eyes burst open wide with anger and disappeared in harmless fire.
"What was that?" Faith said to herself.
Buffy and Hermione
The two girls where walking around the graveyard when a barrage of spells were flung towards them and Hermione barely got her shield up in time.
Hermione turned to see some of the order there with Ron, Ginny, Molly and the twins.
"You think we can take them?" Buffy said
"Not on my own," Hermione said "and I don't know how to make an anti magic ward."
"I think you should give up miss Granger," Dumbledore said "simply tell us were Mr Potter is and we will give you a safe passage back to Hogwarts."
"Yeah right," Buffy said "as soon as you tell them were he is we are both dead."
Then a volley of killing green curses where flung at Hermione and Buffy and a flash of fire caused an object to appear and take all of the curses to the chest and he didn't go down, he simply laughed and said.
"My turn"
