The Riddle in me
Summary: Just after Season two of BtVS and just before the maze in book 4 of HP. 'Anne' never happened! Buffy's mother was killed by the Angelus before she had the chance to protect her. Buffy Summers is left by herself, but is she who she thinks she is? BtVS/HP.
Authors note: Remember 1st authors note. I think you have got the P.O.V thing now. Im in the office and i wrote this in a rush. Darn GCSE work! It's being given to me by the truck-load honestly! I'll try to write this whenever i'm free i promise! My plan just got longer, I had a really cool dream! It's not even finished and it is at 38 chapters. And with my note I will begin! P.S. I need a better reader/editor (whatever you call it!) as I have began to notice mistakes! Apply via review! It's late as I've been very busy with GCSE work… It will be now updated every weekend! Seriously I am so sorry for rejecting this but I'm getting work by the truck load!
Disclaimer: How could I start a story without it? Winks. I do not, I repeat not, own anything Harry Potter or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The only thing I do own is my choices in the story, Alex and the story itself. I may have some more characters of my own in further chapters but until then all credit goes to Joss and JK!

Chapter Twelve: Stuck here alone
Last time on TRIM…
"Now dear daughter, you faced all these people in the past but Angelus brought up this good point in our recent meeting and Lucius and Severus…" He pointed to two masked death eaters, "… Have worked on it with a few fellow Death Eaters. Please would you come forward and show Elizabeth what Angelus kindly suggested," He smirked at the end as four people had emerged from the shadows.
Four people which brought fear to my face. Voldie had done what I thought was unthinkable. He had brought back the people of my nightmares. Voldie had done what I will hate him for. He had reformed the scourge of Europe. Voldie had brought them all here. And now walking towards me was Drusilla, Spike, Darla and The Master. The person who had killed me only two years ago. I turned white with fear… Only to be stunned again. As my world blacked out my last thought was 'Somebody help me…'.

Buffy P.O.V
When I awoke I noticed I had been moved to a room and was in a four poster bed. So I admit its better than being tied up onto a chair. Well that was until I found the chains on my wrist and notice the person in the corner. That when the struggling began. I looked to the window hoping the curtains to be open. They were but it was dark outside. I squinted trying to see who was in the corner with no avail. I then sat upright and the person in the corner noticed. They moved closer towards me and it was not long before I saw there outline clearer.
The light was switched on by them and I saw who it was straight away. Great, just what I need, to wake up in chains with Angelus watching me. Seriously how could Voldie trust him? He could kill me in seconds with these odds! I struggled harder and harder with no luck. Every time I struggle pain shot through my body like an electric shock. Angelus smirked and came to my bed. He lent over me, only about five centimeters from my face, and brushed my hair behind my ear. He turned and pulled a chair close to my bed.
He continued to push the hair behind my ear and I began to struggle. I shook my head constantely hoping to stop him from touching me. He took his hand and held me by the chin, pushing me down. I glared at him and he continued stroking my hair.
"That's no way to treat me, lover!" He smirked and placed a kiss on my cheek.
"We stopped being lovers a long time ago. As soon as you killed Miss Calendar I thought Angel was never coming back. But when he did I sent him to hell, you are nothing compared to him!" I yelled, glaring into his eyes. Anger flashed into them for what seemed a moment and faded. It was then replaced by another smirk.
"But in the forest you seemed completely loved up to me again lover," He smirked and started nipping my neck lightly.
"You were ANGELUS in the forest you tricked me! You looked like you cared in your eyes! You used me again for Voldemort," I replied and he snarled when I said the forbidden name, "You were never anything like what Angel was. He was your strongest half. I know he isn't their and can't hear this so I wont even bother being the idiot I was with you before hoping Angel was still their. If Voldemort has anything to do with it Angel will never return. I don't care any more. I will take the whole of your scourge of Europe and I will hunt them down, slaying them one by one. And you Angelus will be the first!" I smiled and he simply started laughing in my face.
"You think it was me in the forest, lover you're wrong. Soul boy was there until the Hogwart's spy saw you out together. Severus snitched you up and The Dark Lord used his strongest de-souling spell to bring me back to get you. Do you really think the Dark Lord would allow you to bring down the scourge and ruin his plan again, lover? He questioned me smirking, "Do you really think I'd let my Darla again? Kill Captain Peroxide all you want he means nothing to me! But if you kill Darla I will hunt you down whatever the consequences. And you lover will have to watch soul boy die again," He smirked and laughed in my face again and left me alone in the room.
I was left with that decision. Could I kill my first love again? And who the hell was Severus? Then from in the shadows I heard a cold laugh. The Master, Darla, Dru made there entrance with Angelus in tow.
"Wanna bring us down now, lover?"
Normal P.O.V
Harry Potter shot up from his sleep at this point. His scar aching he saw what Voldemort had seen. He had seen this Angelus with Buffy. And with only a week of school left the Order did not have long to find her. He moved to the bed next to him and attempted to wake Ron up with no luck. He quickly scrawled a note to Ron and left it on the bed side table. He looked at the clock and saw it to be 3am. He hoped the headmaster would not mind him coming to see him. On second thought he decided to see Lupin first.
He pulled his dad's old cloak and the Marauder's map from his trunk. He then set off out of Gryffindor Tower and towards the DADA office where Lupin slept. After one close encounter with Filch and Mrs Norris he was at Lupin's room. With a muttering of 'Bogart' the room opened and a sleepy Lupin came to the door. Harry told Lupin of his dream of Buffy, with Angelus or something, and what had happened in this conversation. He then told him about the pain in his scar.
Lupin jumped up quickly and pulled Harry to Dumbledore's office. After the second telling of the tale Dumbledore still looked as happy as he was earlier.
"Will this help us find Buffy Dumbledore?" Lupin asked looking deadly serious.
"Quite the contary actually. I was able to track Severus earlier and he was in a forest in Essex. This has confirmed my belief that Angel had turned evil again or into Angelus. Tomorrow the Order will head out but Harry and his friends will stay here, no arguments. The mission tomorrow may be too dangerous if vampires are involved,"
And to that statement Lupin gave a solemn nod and returned Harry to his room. Tomorrow they would find Buffy and rescue her. And tomorrow Angelus would pay for what he's done. It would only take on Incendio and the suffering would end. But then again, did Buffy still love Angel? He would have to talk to Mr. Giles in a few hours time. This looked to be a long day. But then again could this be the day he could rescue his niece? Or would she be stuck with Voldemort for another day? Only one could hope.
He had been thinking about Buffy's heritage. He had known Voldemort was a Gaunt and was therefore a direct descendant of Slazaar Slytherin. But of course he was a Half-Blood and Gaunts were known to be pure blooded. Obviously a muggle was his father or mother. But he can speak Parseltongue and Harry had proved Buffy could too but what about the snake? And what about the Occulmens and legilmens? Could Buffy master that talent too?
But the main thing he wondered was what the hell Voldemort was doing to poor Buffy right now.
Buffy P.O.V
So normally I'd take this as an opportunity to kill them or I would find it quite bad as they could all attack me. Now I believe Voldie wouldn't allow that. His heir to the dark throne is probably his most important possession of the moment! How great now I'm thankful I'm an heir! Darn throne! Causing me all these troubles! But one thing was still on my mind…
"So Master, I believed that you wanted to destroy the human race. So why pair up with Voldie?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
"There is a thing with wizard blood. Half-bloods are also tainted with it. Squibs have no magical qualities though so do not. You see inside wizarding blood is a chemical which infiltrates the Vampires system. It takes us literally allergic to wizarding blood. And to make this worse only non-vampire wizards can cure us of this! We can only drink muggle blood. Voldemort doesn't care how muggles and squibs are disposed of! We joined him as he would help us drain the last muggle on earth!" He cried and snarled at the words. He look disgusted that only wizards could cure him of this chemical. Well I thank god I'm a wizard now!
"But Angelus you told me you drained a witch so how did you drain my step-mum, Joyce? You drained her too!" I asked suspecting.
"She was a squib, lover. I knew it from the moment I met her as soul boy. He didn't tell you as he didn't want you to be anymore supernatural! Squibs have no magical qualities, not even the chemical! So I drank her. And I must say she was deliciously sweet, lover… But enough with the talk on blood it's making me hungry. It would do your mother proud if she knew I was here and you were facing up to me!" Ok this did it…
"Stop it! You dare talk about mother like that. She died trying to protect me and I will never let you live this down as Angel or as Angelus! I will pay you back for the hurt you caused!" And this made me remember Joyce's death…
-Flashback-
I had just returned home from school and saw the note on the door. It said: Come upstairs Buffy we need to talk. I went inside and placed my school bag down. I yelled up the stairs 'I'm home' but with no answer. I presumed mum was sleeping or doing something. So I ran up to her room. I entered and saw her laying on the bed, sound asleep. I went to tuck her in but my eyes saw her neck as I moved closer. Two holes were now there with blood surrounding them. I screamed and grabbed the phone. I dialed 911 then Giles.
Giles came over as soon as he could. He arrived only just after the ambulance. My mum was announced dead as soon as they checked. I burst into tears which turned to pure hatred. Today was the day I would kill my lover. And with Jenny Calendars death only a bit before nothing could stop me! I knew they had that spell and I knew that Will could possibly return his soul but I couldn't hope on chance. I then rang Will and told her to do the spell tonight with out me. I was going to kill Angelus!
-End Flashback-
Of course what happened next is all just history. As for the present well I have four deadly vampires around my bed and I'm in chains. Oh the possibilities. All I could count on now was my friends and Hogwarts. So where are ya guys? Could do with a little bit of help now… Ya know! I stared out the window. Oh what a beautiful morning… How lucky am I! I get to be probably tortured some more! Come on guys… I need you!

A/N: So then… Another chapter done! And it didn't take me long (joke). I'm tired, I have French and English homework and I have an awful cold! Darn colds. And what does Angelus call Angel? Is it soul boy?
Until my quicker update, (I promise!)
Innocent Slayer!
