Chapter 2: Mrs Figg and Dinner with the Dursleys.
***
Buffy sat in the backseat of the cab and looked out through the window. Beside her Giles was reading a newspaper and sometimes she heard something like "Fudge is an idiot" or "The Ministry cant do anything right" coming from him. For some reason she didn't know, he didn't let the driver se anything from the paper.
They were driving down a really dull street were all the houses was looking the same. From a sign up the street she has seen "Privet Drive" on. She guessed that's what the street was called.
"What number?" the driver asked through the backmirror.
Giles looked up from the paper and said "6" and looked down again.
Buffy sighted and looked at on house to se what number it had. She saw a "32" flash by. She sighted again. They had only been on the street for five minutes and she was already tired of no diffirents.
"Whats wrong with thise people Giles" she just had to ask.
Giles looked up startled, then out to se what she meent and then back with a "I don't understand" exspression.
"They are all the same. The houses, gardens even some of the cars" she said in frustration "The only thing that are different are the house numbers. If someone would reareange the numbers, people wouldn't find their own house."
Giles shuckeld a little and aswered "Thise is one of the better neigberhoods Buffy. People here are afraid of differens. If some one would do anything different it would be a huge scandal here." After he aswered, Giles went back to the paper.
Buffy was about to say something els when the driver told them they were there. Buffy walked out from the cab and looked at the house, it looked just like the one next to it exept the 6 on the wall beside the doorframe. Through the door an old lady walk out with a bunch of cats following. Buffy sighted again. Great they were going to live in a house with, what it looked like, fifteen cats.
"Rupert! It has been so long since last time I saw you" the old lady said with a voice that could give glas risps. She walked up to Giles and gave him a hug, with a higher speed then an old woman should be abel to walk.
"Arabella! Its so nice to se you again" Giles said happely back.
After they broke apart and Giles paid the cab driver, they turned towards Buffy. Arabella eyed the girl infront of her with intrest and wounder. Rupert had not written anything about the girl he would bring.
"Arabella this is Elisabeth Summer, Buffy this is Arabella Figg" Giles said interdusing the two of them.
"Nice to meet you Elisabeth" Arabella said to the girl.
"Just call me Buffy" Buffy said back, shaking Arabellas hand.
"Lets go inside so we can talk and I will take you to your rooms" Arabella said walking inside with her two guesseds coming after.
A half hour later all three, plus tons of cats were downstairs in the living room. Buffy and Giles had unpacked and they had then walked down were Arabella was.
"Arabella, can you please drop the disguise?" Giles said to their host.
Buffy looked at Arabella and Giles in wonder. She knew they were going to do magic and she wanted to se what.
Arabella nodded at Giles and toke out her wand from her left sleeve. She pointed it at herself and said a few words under her breath. Suddenly Arabella and the inside of the house changed.
Buffys eyes went huge when she saw what had changed. Infront of her was no longer an old lady. Arabella had turned to a woman in her mid thirtis, with brown hair. The livingroom was now cat free and the air clean.
"Better that way?" Arabella asked with a clear voice.
Giles nodded and went direct to the point "So how is the situation here?"
Arabella sighted and did a movment for them to sit down.
"I have not seen anything of Harry this summer exept when he came home from Hogwarts. Im afraid the Dursleys are punishing him for what happened last summer."
"What happened?" Giles asked.
"The Wealseys came to the Dusleys to take Harry to the World Cup of Quidditch. The twins played a prank on Dudley"
"Why would the punish Harry for that?"
"That's just how they are. Since I have not seen anything of Harry I managed to make Petunia invite us to dinner at their house tonight. I told her about you, saying you were my brothers son and that Buffy were your niece and after that I did a little spell to make Petunia think it was her idea" Arabella told them.
"So when do we go over?" Giles asked.
"In a few minutes, but first there is few things you must know and do. First we cant call you Buffy" she told Buffy "It sounds to strange so it has to be Elisabeth. Second you have to say Rupert or Uncle Rupert. And last you both have to ignore Harry through the dinner. The Durlseys don't like anyone talking to him."
Both nodded and said they understood and then Arabella made herself look old again and they walked over to the Dursleys.
They knocked on the Dursleys door and a boy, looking like a baby whale, according to Buffy, opend it.
"Is that Harry?" she asked in a whisper to Giles
Giles looked at the boy uncertenly and whispered back "I hope not!"
"Dudley, how nice to see you" Arabella said to the boy and Giles and Buffy let out a breath.
"What do you want" Dudley asked rudley.
"We are here to eat dinner" Arabella said.
Dudley looked over to the other two who was with his old babysitter. His eyes went huge and he dropped his mouth in surprise when he saw the beautiful, blond girl. Buffy looked at the fat boy with something that could only be descrieb to be dislike. When she saw his reaction on the sight of her, she thought that his tung would fall out of his mouth if he let his mouth hang open like that much longer.
Thankfully Dudley remeberd some of the little maners he had and said stubbering "S-sure, n-now I remember. C-come in."
They walked in, Buffy on the other side of Giles so she didn't have to walk past Dudley, who was still looking at her. Petunia, who had been in the kitchen, walked out to the hall.
"Dudders where are you? Our guessts will be here soon."
Then she saw them "Oh, you are here. So you have meet my son Dudley. Im Petunia, Vernon will be here soon." She said interdusing her to Giles and Buffy.
Arabella was the one to speak there names "This is my nephew Rupert Giles and his niece Elisabeth"
"Nice to meet you" Petunia said shaking there hand "We will eat outside. It's a lovely evening tonight."
They walked outside with Dudley and just when Dudley closed the livingroom door they heard Petunias shrill voice yell "BOY! COME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR YOU WILL BE SORRY. OUR GUESSTS ARE HERE."
Dudley obvious didn't hear anything, he was to busy ogling at Buffy so when Petunia walked out a few moments later Arabella, Giles and Buffy pretended that they didn't hear anything either.
They sat down and began talking. It was also obvious that they were eating outside in lack of room inside when Dudley took up one side of the table. They sat there a few minutes when the livingroom door open again. Out walked a fifteen years old boy. Buffy eyed the boy guessing this was Harry. He was tall, had black hair, green eyes behind glasses and he was much thinner then Dudley, she thought releaved. "Thank Good" she heard Giles say quiet. He probably had the same fear she had that Harry would be as big as his cousin.
"Boy, where have you been?" Petunia asked with anger in her face.
Harry just shrugged his shoulders and sat down beside Buffy. She had been sure to sit down after Dudley so she didn't have to sit beside him and that's why Harry could sit down next to her.
"I am Elisabeth" she said to him.
"Harry" he said in reply.
Vernon came after that and the dinner started. The dinner was horrible on the Dursley part but they didn't seem to realize it. Petunia was gossiping with Arabella and Buffy, Dudley didn't let his eyes of Buffy and Vernon seem to have desided to teach Giles everything about drills. The only one to behave normal was Harry even tough he didn't say anything.
"So Elisabeth, the town you lived in in America must have been lovely" Petunia said.
"Oh, yes lovely" Buffy said sarcastic but Petunia didn't notice.
"What was its name again?"
"Sunnyhe...Sunnydale" she said.
"Sounds like a lovely name. How was the school there?" Petunia asked making Giles shoke on his drink.
"It was ok" Buffy said. Then she thought that if Petunia liked gossip so much then she would give her something to spread. "Well it was okey if you don't count our principle"
"Why? Was he horrible?" Petunia asked exited over some gossip from America.
"Oh even more. For some reason he didn't like me. Well he didn't like anyone but he was always picking on me. He could give me detantion for breathing. And I never did anything to him" Buffy said dramastic. Giles had troubles holding his laughter inside. Buffy saw this and said "Tell them Uncle Rupert."
All eyes turned to Giles "Yes its true. I always wonderd how he got the jobb as principle when he despised children" he confermed.
"That's horrible" Petunia said
"Sounds like Professor Snape" Harry said under his breath. It was only thanks to Slayer hearing Buffy picked it up.
The dinner went on. Dudley tried to do his best to make Buffy intrested in him. He began braging about everything he had done. Petunia and Vernon was so proud of their little boy. Everyone els, even Harry, tried not to laugh.
Buffy and Giles was thankful when the dinner finally was over. They thankt and walked out. Arabella would talk with Petunia about something and said they could go, she would catch up. When she did she told them she would look after Harry the day after tomorrow, on his birthday.
"So what do you think?" she asked them when they was inside her house.
"It was horrible! Good! That.. fat boy was almost drooling. And he didn't take his eyes of me throu the hole thing. You could almost se him undress me with his eyes." Buffy complaind to the two adults.
"It was boring to. I think the most boring topic ever is about drills! I don't want to hear about them ever again." This time it was Giles. "And Harry didn't speak at all exept to say his name. This is the people he live with. They are horrible."
"And Mudley was braging about how he beat up a eight year old last week! And The Dursleys was proud of him!" Buffy continued disgused over it, mispronuncing Dudleys name by will.
"Yes they are horrible. What do you think about Harry?" Arabella asked.
"He seems nice" Buffy said.
"I agree" Giles said.
"Yes he is a nice kid" Arabella confermed.
"So what are we doing tomorrow?" Buffy asked after a few minutes of silence.
"We are going to Diagon Alley to by you some robes" Giles aswered.
