A/N: This is betaed however, some mistakes may still happen and they are mine. My beta and I work hard to make these fics readable. So, please accept that I am not a professional writer and go with it. If not please feel free to skip this piece.

A/N: No offence is intended to the Mormon religion. They just happened to be the last religious group who rang my bell and got volenteered for the story line. Given it was the third time in three weeks it seems to fit a pattern that may happen around the world. Again no offence intended.

Part 38 Wishing it was the Mormons...

The door opened and Petunia Dursley was surprised to see two rather stylishly dressed young ladies waiting on her doorstep. She looked them over and noted that they wore expensive clothing and shoes. She knew that this had to be important as the brunette was holding some official looking papers in her hand.

"Mrs. Petunia Dursley?" She asked.
"Yes may I help you?"

Dawn forced a smile as Buffy joined her. She had convinced her sister to let her do the talking at least until they were inside.

"I am really sorry to bother you Ma'am, on a Saturday afternoon. Only I was told that you could help me find someone. We have been searching for this person for over a year now." The lie rolled off her tonge easily enough.

"Who are you looking for dear?"
Petunia asked. She was impressed by the young ladies impeccable manners and respect.

"Dawn maybe you should introduce us first?" Buffy said. They had planned this all out carefully.

"Oh dear me. I am such a ...forgive me. I was so excited about finding your address and everything." She gushed. As she had expected Petunia seemed to let her guard down a little. "I am Lady Dawn Marie Summers and this is my sister Lady Elizabeth Anne Summers the we are the daughters of Lord Henry "Hank" Evans Summers."
Petunia eyes widened in shock. "Oh dear me. Do come in ladies."

Dawn smiled as the door was opened and they slipped in. It had been too easy. Harry was right these people were easily impressed.

"Please follow me to the lounge. Would you like some tea?"

"Oh that would be lovely."Dawn said with a smile.

Petunia smiled and called out. "Harry, come down here."

There was a brief pause then a lanky teenage boy came down the stairs. He was moving slowly as if he was in pain.

Buffy's eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared, as she smelled blood. Her eyes flashed but Petunia did not seem to notice. "Go get us three cups of tea."

"Yes, Ma'am." Harry said. He did not even look at Dawn or Buffy not wanting to give the game away.

"You have a very polite son."Buffy said not able to resist a bit of a dig.
Petunia started at that and blushed. Before she could reply Vernon and Dudley came waddling in.

"That freak is no son of mine." Vernon said proving once again he had very little by way of brains.
Buffy shifted and looked him over her gaze quickly dismissing him as being of any real importance. Vernon turned red with anger.

"Who is this Petunia? What are they sell we are not buying anything and we are not interested in being recruited for some new fangled church. You know I sent those Mormon blokes off yesterday."

"Well then this is your lucky day."Buffy snarked."Because we so would not want to recruit you."

Dawn sighed so much for her doing the talking. She leaned back and decided to enjoy the show.

"As my sister told Petunia here we are Elizabeth and Dawn Summers the children of Lord Henry "Hank" Summers. My father was the half brother to both Lily Evans and Petunia here. We however did not know about this until recently. You see we have been living in America with our mother. Now when she passed away and our father was killed in a train wreck we inherited all their papers. It was then we learned we might still have more family left."

"So what do you want. We don't need to take in anymore strays."
Petunia glared at her husband. "Shut up Vernon. I remember Hank. He was a bit older then I was. He never liked my mother. He thought his dad married below his station. He was kind enough if a bit distant to both me and Lily. The again he was 8 years older than us and maybe he hated that Daddy sent him to boarding school at 8."

Buffy blushed because she had not known their father was such a prick in this world. Not a surprise really.

"I am sorry we did not know. I thought my dad was an orphan with no siblings. Look we are not here to cause trouble but, well we recently got this letter. Buffy pulled it out. It was from Lily Evans Potter. It states that in the event of her and her husband's death that Hank was to take care of her son Harry. Now my father is gone but in his will he left it to me to take care of both Harry and Dawn. That is what we are here about. To see about making arrangements for Harry. Now I can see he is a part of your family-"

"You want the freak?" Vernon demanded. "Why he's nothing but trouble."

"Well, yes of course we do. He is family." Dawn said. "Buffy just said that. I always wanted a brother."

"How can you take him? You are only kids yourself." This remarkably insightful comment came from Dudley.

Dudley had been thinking a lot. He was not the smartest boy or the sharpest but the events of the last few month no years had made him think. His near death at the hands of the dementors had made him reconsider a lot.

He had even begun to try to be nicer to Harry. He knew he been a prat to his cousin and really did not expect forgiveness but, he knew he had to try.

Harry had saved his life. He knew that. He was ashamed of his behavior and now that he was away at school and had better examples to follow he was trying to change.

Already he had dropped two stone and was eating better. Dudley was helping his mom around the house a bit and he had even slipped his cousin food.

Not that Harry knew it was from him but he had. After all if he knew it was from him he would not have eaten it. This new found desire to help Harry meant he was going to protect him if he could.

He even beat up Piers for trying to Harry hunt. That sport was officially banned in little Wiggins now.

"I am an adult in my world." Buffy said. "I am a witch and as a member of an ancient house I was emancipated upon the death of my parents."

"You're a freak!" Vernon cried out.

Buffy growled having had enough of this pigheaded bigot. "Petunia shut this fool up or you will be a widow before the sun sets. He is grating on my nerves."

Petunia paled. She too had been thinking about things. She could see she had been wrong in her treatment of her nephew. Now the look of pure revulsion on Lady Elizabeth's face made her afraid. "Vernon please."

He glared but fell silent as Dawn was now pointing her wand at him.

"Good he not a total fool then." Dawn said. "Listen carefully Dursley. You are not needed. You do not matter to us. You are not our family. Petunia and Dudley along with Harry are. You are a muggle who has harmed one of us. That my friend is not a wise thing to do. If you were a demon you would be dead. As you are human you get to live. Don't push your luck because we can hurt you. As long as we leave you breathing if only barely we are within the rules so be wise and sit down and shut up. Trust me when I say we have no patience with pigs like you."

There was a stunned silence then Vernon began to shout. He was thinking maybe the Moron Blokes would have been better to deal with less freaky.
