Chapter 5
Hagrid's visit
PEEP Peep peep peep, Dawn heard before she pushed on the stop-button of the Alarm-clock. She wasn't in a good mood. She had an annoying vampire on her case last night and if it wasn't Faith to help her she hadn't hold on for much longer. But that was last night, today was going to be great.
She had only an hour to make herself ready, before Hagrid would pick her up. I wonder what kind of vehicle he drives, Dawn thought. A broom?, she laughed at her own thoughts.
After she got out of the shower, she thought a long time about what she would wear. Normally she wasn't like that, but this time was different, she was now going to wizard-shops. She decided to keep her own colour, black. So she put on her favourite black top with jeans beneath it and her favourite leather jacket that she got from Spike last Christmas.
She wondered to wake up Faith after that, but refused to because she knew that Faith always had a morning humour as annoying as the attitude of the vampire from last night. So she decided to bake some pancakes.
While she was eating she suddenly heard a weird noise, a bang or a poof from the living-room. Spike, is that you?, she shouted while looking very annoying.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm Hagrid, I'm suppose to pick you up for school-shopping. Never mind, I thought that Spike woke up from his sleep. Nice to meet you I'm Dawn Summers, she said while shaking his hand and looking up to him. I didn't expect you so tall, she said. Most people say that, he said.
How did you get in by the way?, Dawn asked. By the fireplace, he said as normally he could. I beg you pardon, did you just said that you entered this house threw the fireplace? Yes, I did , it is called Apparating, you just step in the fireplace and say the place where you want to be and then you will throw some Floo-powder in the fireplace. And before you can say whatthehellishappeningtome you arrive at the address yourself.
Okay, Dawn said. So, if I get one minute to write a letter that I'm gone, we can apparate as soon as possible, she said as excited as she was.
After Dawn got back from the kitchen where she wrote the letter, Hagrid said ,we first got to get the other kid in Everwood. So if you please step in the Fireplace and say Browny and drop the floo- powder, I will see you there. Okay, Dawn said nervously while she stepped in the fireplace. Browny she said while dropping the floo-powder. And suddenly she was in another room a big peachy-coloured room. And when she looked behind her she saw Hagrid.
Meanwhile in Ephram's house. Ephram got up from his bed, got a shower and put on some clothes that weren't dirty, it didn't mattered for him. He took his suitcase with clothes for the rest of the summer and went downstairs to see his farther having breakfast with Delia. Hey Ephram, Hagrid will be here in a second,let's wait at the fireplace for him. Ephram still thought that he was nuts, how could people travel by fireplaces, he thought by himself.
He still didn't believed it, even when his farther explained the whole story. First see and then believe, he thought. Before they even could sit down, they heard a strange bang or poof. When he looked at the fireplace he saw a amazing beautiful girl standing there with a tall man in the back, but that didn't even interested him, he was amazed that this girl looked even more beautiful then Amy. She probably already had a boyfriend just like Amy, he thought.
When Dawn was in another room, she saw three people in front of her, she examined them all correctly. There was an man in the forties with a girl of eight, she thought, next to him. When she looked further she caught the eye of a pretty cute boy, who was probably the student which were going to live with her for three months. Yes, she thought with amusement.
Hagrid went to Andy brown and shook his hand, hiya Andy long time no see, Hagrid said while looking down at Andy. You could say that hagrid, Andy said. This is my daughter Delia en this is Ephram pointing at the young man who was standing a the door. Hiya Ephram, you would be the one that goes shopping with us I presume, Hagrid asked. Yeap, that's me Ephram answered. Dawn stepped to Ephram and said, Hi,I'm Dawn Summers. After she shock his hands he went to the other people in the room to introduce herself. Okay, said Hagrid, so Ephram you first step in the fireplace say Diagon Alley and drop the Floo-powder. Okay,he said while walking to the fireplace with his suitcase, before he left he shouted to his farther and sister something that sounded like a goodbye.
Dawn and Hagrid were just after him. Is this Diagon Alley, I had another picture in mind, Ephram said, looking at the bar where they were. Not this isn't Diagon Alley, but to get in Diagon Alley you have to go threw the door. Ehpram you can drop the suitcase behind the bar, Hagrid said. Okay, Ephram said.
Let's go, follow me, Hagrid said while entering a room with only a wall with stones, but when Hagrid tick on those stones the wall became a door. Dawn and Ephram were both looking with amazement while listening to Hagrid's words Welkom To Diagon Alley.
Before we can do any shopping we have to go to the bank Gringots, this bank is ruled by little demons, Dawn thought while looking at them. Faith gave her muggle-money to change for wizard-money. After they did that they had to go to Ephram's mother's vault where he could get his money. It was quite some ride, Dawn liked it, just a rollercoaster, while looking at the nauseous face of Ephram. When they arrived they opened the vault and took the money they needed for everything.
Let's get you both a wand first. A wand, cool, Dawn thought while walking into the Ollivander's wand shop.
It was about time that I say both of you, he said to both of them. Which is your wand-arm, he asked to Dawn. Excuse me, my wand arm?, she asked. You could also say your writing-hand. Oh, right, she said. Wait I already have a clew which wand belongs to you. Here try this on, when she touch the wand she could feel her body shiver. The wand chooses the owner, Ollivander said. That's a wand made from the blood of two slayers and one vampire with a sool. And is 9 inches. Slammin, Dawn thought, I have a wand made from Buffy, Faith and Angel.
Okay, now the son of Mrs Brown, he said while looking at Ephram. What is your wand arm my boy? Left, He said. Curious, Curious was al that he could say before he went to look for a wand,he came back with three boxes. Let's try this one, he said while giving Ephram the wand, just gave it a wave. After he gave a wave a few shelves collapsed and boxes were falling from every angle. Sor-ry, Ephram said. Doesn't matters, happens all the time, let's try the Unicorn Hair, Willow, 9 inches. When he took the wand he felt his entire body shivering. Look's like we found one for you too.
Let's move on now we have plenty of books to buy. After they collected all the books and other needs they decided to get an ice-cream. While eating the ice-cream they talked about each other's lives and lost ones. Hey, what kind of pet do you both want to have? You can have a owl , a rat, toad or a cat, Hagrid explained.
Let me think, Dawn said, I would prefer a Owl, me too said Ephram enthusiastic. Okay let's bye some owls then, Hagrid said before they went to the pet-shop. Dawn had chosen a Snowy-owl that she had named Buzzy after a nickname she used to call Buffy. Ephram had chosen for the specie Little Owl which he named Athena, because the owl was from Greece.
After they bought the owl they starting to go to Dawn's home just in time for supper. When they arrived In the fireplace at Dawn's they saw Faith looking at them with a shocked face. Whe-re did y-ou come from looking at the fire place and who are those people?, Faith asked.
Hey Faith, Dawn waved. Wizards an witches travel by fireplaces, it called apparating. And those two are Hagrid, pointing at the tall man with a beard and he is Ephram Brown who will be staying here the whole summer.
I gotta go, Hagrid said, I've got some chores to do for Dumbledore. Bya, Sirius will arrive in the evening,he said before he left threw the fireplace.
Pizza!!!, they heard Xander calling from the hallway. Hey, Dawny, didn't expected you back already. And who is that boy?, he asked with suspicious. Xander always were overreacting when it went over Dawn's boyfriends.
Hi, Xander, she said while giving him a hug. This is Ephram Brown the other student that I told you about. So, you are the kid that has to stay here all summer, Xander asked. Yes, that's me, Ephram answered while shaking Xander's hand. I'm Xander Harris, Xander said after they shook hands.
Let's eat, Faith yelled from the kitchen, I need some energy for tonight. Energy?, Ephram asked to Dawn. Yeah, she ( is a slayer and has to kill all kinds of demons and by the way I'm also a slayer, no, that wasn't the right awnser) gives Defence- Lessons at night, Dawn said, that was the only thing that she could think of.
After they ate, Dawn showed Ephram his room, it used to be her mother's room.
When they arrived downstairs, they saw Faith flirting with a man with dark hair and he were dressed in Black. Before Dawn could say anything, Faith turned to her and said, Dawn you have company, Sirius Black, your mentor for the summer. Hi, I'm Dawn Summers and that is Ephram Brown, she said while she shakes hands with Sirius.
Author's note: I was thinking of a little Faith/ Sirius pairing what do you reckon? By the way Firedragonfly thanks a lot for you advice. I've chosen to complete this story without any quotation marks, I shall take your advice on the informal part and the formal part.
