Summary: Willow is 22 and just out of college. She finds out a secret about her birth. Harry is in his 5th year. Willow was never gay. She did lose control of her magic but with Giles and her friends help she is able to control her magic DISCLAIMER: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by JK Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. No money is being made and no copyright or trademark infringement is intended. Any additional characters/situations from Buffy the Vampire Slayer fall into the same set of constraints as those of Harry Potter. They all belong to their respective owners and I simply use them.
"I am afraid we have some bad news Miss. Your parents were in a car accident. They didn't make it. I am sorry. Can we come in?
Willow closed her eyes in pain and stepped back to let the officers come inside.
***After the funeral, in Mr. Tate's office***
"Willow, I am happy to say that your parents have left you very well off. Both of your parents inherited trust funds from their parents when they died. Because they had such a good job, they never had to touch either trust fund. In addition to the money, they had several properties all around the world they bought on their various trips. They also have left you various large shares in some stoke companies. There are some African Diamond mines you now own a 20 percent of along with a few small gold and silver mines. Also you own 35% of a fire opal mine in Australia." Mr. Tate, the Rosenberg's lawyer told the stunned young woman in front of him.
"Willow, even after taxes you own over 35 million easy. Your parents have left you a very rich young lady. They also left this letter in my care in the event of their untimely death." Tate handed the thick envelope with Willows full name scrawled across the front in her mothers flowing handwriting.
Thank you Mr. Tate for all you have done for me and my family. I would like you to keep handling my parents interest for now. If you need me I will be at home." Willow got up from the leather seat and walked out of the room on shaky legs. Her hands clutched the unopened letter. The last she would ever hear from her parents.
***Willow's home***
Willow wrapped her arms around her legs and sobbed for hours. The pain was eating away at her heart. She couldn't believe they were gone. She knew that they were never at home but still they were her parents. They were the ones who pushed her to be more social before she met Buffy. They were the ones who always talked to her like she was a grown up, even at age five. They cared for her and loved her in their own way. They may not have been at home all the time like other parents were, but she always knew they loved her. Even when her mom tried to burn her at the stake for being a witch, Willow forgave them. Now they were gone. She would never see them again.
Willow turned her head and glanced down at the smooth surface of the small coffee table. The letter was lying on the glossy surface. It was still unread. Willow unconsciously reach for the letter. With shaky hands she opened the seal with a letter opener. She was stunned at what it said.
Our Dearest Willow,
If you are reading this, then we have passed on due to some unfortunate accident. As you already know, you never have to worry about anything financially again. We did the on purpose because we knew that being who you are it is hard to get a stable career. We hope that you never stop working, but we want you to never have to struggle. Now that the simple issues are out of the way, we begin the important issues that must be discussed. Willow, we know this will be difficult to understand, but you are not ours. We adopted you from a young fifteen year old girl in England on one of our trips. You were such a pretty baby that we fell in love immediately and couldn't wait to take you home. We did not tell you because we felt it would be for the best if you never knew. There is a safe in the basement under the stairs in our London home. Inside this envelope we have left you the combination, address, key, and money for a ticket to London. We wish for you to immediately go there, because there are some important thing about your real mother and you heritage locked in the safe. We love you, we will miss you, and we hope that you will try and locate your birth family. We wish this so that you will never be alone. We know that they will love you as much as we did, but always know that you were our life. We loved you with all our hearts. You were our reason to go on everyday. We always knew that you were waiting for us. Remember us always.
With Love, Your Parents.
The letter floated to the floor. Willow sat there in shock at the words her parents wrote her, but in her grief there grew a tiny ray of hope that maybe she still had family left. Now all that there was left to do was head to London and meet her other family.
***Los Angelus International Airport***
"British Airways flight 626, nonstop to London, First class and gold card members boarding now." A cheerful flight attendant called from the boarding dock.
"Well that's my flight guys. I am going to miss you all so much!" Willow tearfully hugged Buffy and Xander to her. Giles stood off to the side trying not to cry as the young girl he love like a daughter was about to leave them in search for her lost family.
Willow was astonished at how short the flight seemed. She had never been to another country before. Until now her passport lay gathering dust at the bottom of her dresser drawer. Now it was stamped and she was on her way to a completely different continent. A feeling of adventure raced through her at the thought of being alone in another country.
