Disclaimer: "It's all been done before"- Barenaked Ladies. I don't own Buffy. Nor do I own the world of Harry Potter. They both belong to Joss and J.k.
Summery: Something happens that causes the Scoobies to head to England.
Feedback: Of Course I want it.
Setting: Ok, this is set during the middle of September. Harry and the gang our in their sixth year and in the Buffy verse it's set after a couple of weeks after episode 7.3, after that it's AU. Willow has been home recovering from the loss of blood.
A/N** I did post this story before, but I decided to repost it now that I've read Order of the Phoenix, I never finished typing it up the way I had it written out because I'd decided to repost it after I'd changed it to fit with the new book. Some chapters there won't be any change and some will be so different you'd hardly recognize it. But since I only have to redo ten chapters, I think you guys will live. Also now that OotP has been released I'll be finishing up this story in acceptable time.
A/N* This my first Buffy fic, it's also my first Harry Potter fic. So it's obviously my first crossover. Actually it's only my second fic ever. I'm still learning a lot. So go easy on me, but also let me know what you think. Just don't be too mean.
Buffy and Dawn were in the living room and Buffy was pacing back and forth furiously. "This is horrible, this is absolutely the most rotten thing to ever happen to me! How could he do this?" At the end of Buffy's outburst Dawn could barely contain her giggles. "It's going to be ok sis, it's not the end of the world" Dawn tried to say sympathetically but her snorts of laughter proved how miserably she was failing.
"No one stands up Buffy Summers and gets away with it!" Buffy exclaimed. "I'm beautiful, intelligent, sexy and I kick major ass. Men are dying to go out with me. Women want to be me!" By the end of the last statement Dawn was practically rolling on the floor laughing. "What's so funny?" Buffy asked as she watched Dawn regain her composure. "You've lived through half a dozen apocalypses, killed more demons than anyone can imagine or count. But one really cute English guy stands you up and I can bet that I've never seen you as indignant as you are right now" Dawn again collapsed into giggles. "Humph! I'll go somewhere where I can find a little sympathy." Buffy stalked off.
"Willow?" Buffy called as she entered the witch's room. "Are you in here Wills?" "Wow that's weird" Buffy thought, "I don't remember her leaving the house and she's not downstairs, I'll guess I'll do another sweep. Willow would never go anywhere without letting someone know. It's the Scooby code."
Buffy proceeded to search the upstairs again "Have you seen Will?" Buffy called down to Dawn. "I can't find her anywhere."
"No, I haven't seen her; did you check her room?"
"Of course not, why would I check her room since that's where she said she was going to be? Buffy replied in her trademark sarcastic wit. "Well I go check the basement, and you go check the yard; then if we still can't find her we'll call Xander and see if he's got any ideas." "Ok" Dawn replied and they both headed out.
Buffy headed to the basement but just as she was heading back up the stairs, a horrible feeling settled into her stomach. It felt like someone had just broken her heart except worse. She stopped for a moment to regain her composure "Sure that freckled-faced dork stood me up but this, this is something else. Oh Will, I hope your ok" She forced herself to calm down before she headed up to call Xander with Dawn. Freaking Dawn out would do no good, especially since Willow could be out with Xander at this very minute.
Ten minutes later they were both back in the living room and Buffy was on the phone with Xander. "Xan, have you seen Willow? There was silence as Buffy listened to the other side of the line. "Well then we need you to get over here fast, my slayer sense is going batty. Something is definitely up" Buffy said her goodbyes to Xander and hung up the phone.
"Did you mean what you said to Xander about your Slayer sense going all wiggy?" Dawn asked. "Yeah while I was in the basement I got this nasty feeling that something horrible had just happened, I'm so worried Dawn; Willow knows better than to go out into Sunnydale by herself at night without telling anyone. In this town that could mean certain to death to anyone including a witch, I'm getting more and more of a feeling that she didn't go out; I'm thinking more along the lines that she was taken." The longer that Buffy talked the paler she became. "Oh God Dawnie, I know something horrible has happened." The girls silently held hands on the couch waiting for Xander and praying to whatever deity would listen for Willow's safety.
