Another Evans

By Angela M

Notes: Ah yes, finally and update. I know its been close to a half a year but my muse (the finicky little so and so that she is) abandon me. She's not exactly back but at least she stops by for coffee now and then. Oh and if no one noticed, I'd like to apologies for miss spelling the title of my own fic on chapter 11.

Thanks for everyone who has reviewed and email and told me to get my butt in gear.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Part 13:

"Xander!" Willow exclaimed jumping to her feet and embracing her oldest friend.

"Hey Will, how have you been?"

"Pretty good," She let go of Xander and looked towards Harry who had the pencil in hand as he got to his feet. "Harry, I'd like you to meet Xander Harris. Xander meet my nephew Harry Potter."

"Nice to meet ya." Xander said extending his hand.

Harry took it and began to shake. "Like wise."

"So," Xander said moving a spell book off the corner chair to make room for him to sit. "I see you're Auntie Willow wasted no time in bringing you into the fold."

"I'll have you know Xander Harris that I had nothing to do with it. Harry was already an accomplished wizard when he came." Willow said while crossing her arms.

"I wouldn't say accomplished."

"Piffle, Harry you've had 6 years of magic school, that's only 1 year less then I've been practicing. I say that makes you accomplished in our circle."

Harry tried to stifle a blush at the complement. "I don't have nearly the power you do; I mean I've never turned anyone into a rat before."

"Wait, did he say rat? Willow have you been ratting people!"

"He was trying to kidnap Harry, I had no choice."

"Of course, because turning people into rats happens by accident everyday."

Willow glared at Xander and he knew it was time to back off.

"Alright, animorphing aside, why was rat-boy trying to kidnap Harry?"

Willow got off the floor and took the spell book Xander was holding and moved it back onto the shelf.

"Seems Harry here has a destiny."

Xander gave Harry a look of deep sympathy. "Ah Jeez, Man I am so sorry. So what's the deal?"

"Evil Wizard wants to take over the world, and I'm the only one who can stop him." Harry said.

"Oh so the standard destiny deal. Tough brake. What exactly is Mr. Evil after, is he British?"

Harry nodded

"He's the Hitler of the wizarding world; he wants to exterminate non-magical people."

Xander shook his head as if in confusion. "You would think England would be beyond ethnic cleansing."

"It's not limited to England, from what Harry tells me this anti-non-magic attitude is plaguing the entire wizarding world."

"Anything we can do to help?" Xander asked.

Willow shook her head.

"Well that sucks. Oh before I forget, Bondy wanted to see you when you have a moment."

This time Willow allowed Harry to come with her when she went to see Bondy, and on the walk down explained how Semi-Charmed was different then most tattoo parlors.

"So you cast spells on the ink that's used, cool."

"Not big spells, just a little spell to increase luck, love or protection things like that."

"How long have you been doing this?" Harry asked while opening the door to Semi-Charmed. Bondy looked up from some paper work when Harry and Willow walked in.

"Not too long. Bondy normally gets his sister to cast, but she's up in Canada on her honeymoon. I'm only going to be doing this for a couple more days."

"Told him did you?" Bondy asked.

"Yup, seems Harry's a wizard too."

"Run's in the family does it?" The artist enquired.

"My mother was a witch too."

"So was mine." Bondy looked to wards Willow and smiled. "Big Sexy Chad is back from his seminar, he's on his way over."

Harry looked at his Aunt the expression on his face clearly saying 'Big Sexy Chad?' Willow started to laugh.

"Chad used to work at an auto shop and his girlfriends keep stopping over. Almost always a different girl each time. The mechanics started to razz him and some one started to call him Big Sexy Chad to get his goat up, the name stuck."

For the next half hour Willow enchanted the tattoo ink, taking the time to explain the process to Harry who through was never a big fan of potions found the process really cool. Every now and then he would turn and watch Xander interact with Bondy, they weren't friends, oh they liked each other Harry didn't doubt that, but the manner of ease of which he saw between Xander and his Aunt just wasn't there.

"Harris, you back." A voice said from the door.

The man wasn't overly tall just slightly taller then Xander, and not much older. His head was shaven and his ears were just slightly too big for his head. He had an easy smile which was a little on the goofy side but that in combination with his sad puppy dog eyes made him very popular with the ladies.

"Well if it isn't Big Sexy Chad." Xander replied back with a nod, Harry noticed that the tips of Chad's ears went a little pink as if he was a little embarrassed by the name.

"You're back early; I was told you weren't going to arrive till the end of August." Chad took a seat next to Willow and draped his arm over her shoulder and gave her a chased kiss on the cheek.

"Just got back today. How was the seminar?"

"Amazing, you know it doesn't matter how long I've been doing this I'm just always learning new things. And there's a smithy in England who's willing to work with me."

"Chad that's great!" Willow exclaimed. "Does that mean that we have you on board then?"

"Definitely, you're looking at the Watcher's Council's newest full time black smith."

Xander went over and shook Chad's hand and offered him congratulations.

Harry who had remained silent piped up. "Black Smith?"

"Sure Harry, Slayers fight not only with stakes but with swords, axes and cross bows. Medieval weaponry is hard to come by for daily use, unless you're willing to pay exuberant fees for antiques. You should see the amount of arrow heads the girls go through on a weekly basis. It isn't like it was in the old days when there was just one girl at a time that we had to keep in weapons."

Chad looked to the kid that Willow was taking to, cocked his head and then asked.

"Hey aren't you Harry Potter?"
