The Invasion of Buffyverse: Chapter Two
The next morning was like a regular morning in Sunnydale: sunny, without a cloud in the sky. Buffy woke up with a groan.
"Mmmph," she moaned as she stretched her legs before getting off her bed.
She headed downstairs in her tee and boxers, and heard voices.
Female and male voices.
Laughing voices.
Flirting voices.
Oh my god.
She rushed into the kitchen, where Harry and Dawn were sitting, Dawn in her silk pajamas that she only wore on special occasions, and eating waffles.
Buffy sighed.
"Hi, Buffy." they both said after their laughter died down.
"Hey kiddies." she pulled the milk out of the fridge, and sat down beside Dawn.
"So, Harry, are you coming with us to the Magic Shop today so we can figure out how you got here?"
"Yes, uh, please. Where would that be?" he asked, looking more so in Dawn's direction than Buffy's.
"It's not far from here, just a few blocks. A quick walk. Do you have any other clothes?" Buffy replied loudly, motioning to his black robes.
Harry shook his head, and Buffy sighed.
"Hmmm, we don't really have the money to buy you some real clothing, but," she stood up and motioned him to do so also. She circled him, "You seem the same shape as Xander. Let's stop over there."
Dawn smiled to herself.
This was going to be one weird day.
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
Xander spilled his milk on himself.
"Damn, did it again. An, could you get that?" he called to Anya, who was reading on the couch.
She stood up.
"Honey, you've really got to learn how to pour stuff. It's getting to be a bad habit." she scolded, then opened the door.
Buffy, Dawn and a young man stood outside it, and Buffy smiled slightly.
"Hey, An. Is Xander in?"
"Yes, he is. Xander!"
"What?" Xander put the milk away and called, "If it's one of those salesmen tell them to go somewhere where people actually spend time in their house."
"No, Xan, it's Buffy and Dawn and a guy."
"Oh," and he rushed to the door.
He smiled at the Summers' girls, "Come on in. What's up?"
He was looking with his eyebrows raised at Harry.
"You might want to sit down," Buffy smirked.
Anya and Xander sat.
"Anya, Xander, this is Harry Potter."
Xander spat out his milk that he had just put up to his lips, and Anya looked confused.
"Uh, yeah...sure there Buff. What did Dawn put in your coffee this morning?" Xander started to laugh when Harry raised his eyebrows as well as the mop of black hair near his forehead, revealing his scar.
Dawn pulled a book out of her bag, title reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in which a boy identical to the one standing next to them was riding a broomstick around what seemed to be a very angry dragon.
"Whoa, where did you get that? That's a really good picture of that...my Firebolt looks a little small though..." Harry stared at the cover, dumbfounded.
"I'll explain later. Xander, this is Harry. You can tell by how he looks, his accent and he told me that he's from Hogwarts." Dawn put her hand on her hips.
Xander stared at Harry for a moment, then said, "Ok. If this really is Harry Potter, why is he here? And why is he here, as in, in my house?"
"Well, we have to bring him to the Magic Shop to talk to Giles, but he doesn't have any more clothes other than these ugly robes." Buffy said, smiling sweetly.
"He can use Xander's clothes," piped up Anya.
Xander turned around and stared at her.
"What?" she said innocently.
Dawn laughed quietly, then Xander sighed and led Harry to his room.
Dawn and Buffy waited on the couch.
"So, he's pretty good looking, huh Dawn?" Anya looked at Dawn, crossing her legs.
Dawn smiled embarrassedly, while Buffy gave Anya a sly look, "I think she's quite taken with him. The first time she saw him they had contact. I'm going to have to make sure your room is locked from the outside tonight." Buffy laughed as Dawn went a shade of red.
Just then, Harry and Xander, looking quite proud of himself, came out of the bedroom. Harry was wearing a tee shirt that said Sunnydale High on it and a pair of wrinkled jeans.
Dawn looked him over and gave Harry a small smile.
She turned to Buffy as they were leaving, "You sure we can't buy him some clothes?"
Buffy grinned but didn't say anything.
"So, Dawn, how did you find out about Hogwarts if you're not a witch?" Harry asked, trying to keep up with the two fit, fast walking girls.
"The Harry Potter books." Dawn replied, laughter in her voice.
He kept quiet until they reached the magic shop.
"Wow! This is just like all the shops in Diagon Ally put into one!" he exclaimed as they entered.
"Well, no Gringotts." Dawn smiled.
By this time, Giles, Willow, Tara and Spike were staring at them.
"Ah, here's Harry." Spike said, smiling phonily and pulling Buffy aside.
"What's up? Is he really..."
Buffy nodded.
"Weird," Spike muttered, then they went back to the group.
"Harry? Harry who?" asked Willow, and Tara and Giles looked very interested also.
"Harry Potter."
As soon as the situation was explained and everyone had a chance for it to sink in, Buffy spoke up.
"So, how do you think he got here?" she sat down at her usual spot at the table, Dawn and Harry taking Anya's and Xander's usual spots.
" Have no idea," Giles turned to Harry, "What were you doing when you were transported? Right before?"
Harry thought back, "I was...fighting. I was fighting a boy in the hallway, he's just the most horrid child you've ever met, I promise you."
"So, you were fighting Malfoy," Dawn ignored his surprised glance, "And then what? You just got here?"
Harry nodded.
"Well, we have to get him back. Everyone is going to be so worried about him." Willow said worriedly.
Everyone nodded.
Giles smiled slightly.
"What?" Buffy said after watching this growing look on Giles's face.
"Well, the shop has been going so well, and I've been saving up...this is the perfect time. I've been wanting all of us to go to England. It would have nothing to do with the Watcher's Council, and we could bring Harry back to Hogwarts."
Dawn started grinning uncontrollably and Buffy smiled slightly.
"Are you sure, Giles? We'd have to shut the shop down for a bit, and it would cost a lot to get us all over there."
"True, but I've got it. I have enough for seven. So that would be Buffy, Dawn, Harry, Xander, Willow, Anya, Tara, Spike and I...we'd need two more than I have enough to pay for."
"We could pay for our own," said Xander as he and Anya entered the shop.
Giles beamed at them, "Well, let's call about the tickets right now!"
"It will be nice to go back to the hometown..." Spike said in Buffy's ear.
Dawn giggled and Harry grinned at her.
Buffy smiled.
This would be some trip.
