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. The character of the dastardly Robert is mine though, at least I think. If I'm wrong someone let me know.
Summary: Something happens that causes the Scoobies to head to England.
Feedback: I used to think that I didn't need it and it wasn't very important, but then I got some and I really liked it, in fact the more feedback I got the more I wanted. I think you get the idea.
A/N**It's been along time, and I apologize. I could list a thousand reasons and they wouldn't be good enough. But hey I'm back and better than ever, so let the show begin!!!
Thank You's
Dark Comet Wow if you're still reading this fix, then you have my undying gratitude. And here's your snape fix
Seoid Oh there's going to be a triangle, but hopefully everyone will be ok with how it turns out.
Griffindor Lady and Acacia Jules Thank you both very much
Willow felt drowsy, but she didn't want to go to sleep, afraid that she might not wake up again. She gave herself a few moments to look around the room her bed was in, it reminded her of a hospital emergency room. There was more than one bed in the room, but dividing curtains hung from the ceiling, ready to give privacy if needed.
"Wow, they're pretty self-sufficient here. I wonder what the rest of the school is like?"
But before she could wonder long the man that Buffy had been rude to earlier walked in the door and sat down in a chair near it. He didn't say anything as he pulled a book out of the dress-type thing he was wearing and started reading.
"Egh...Egh.." Willow cleared her throat hoping to get the man's attention, but he just continued to read.
"Your name is Severus right?" Willow broke the silence in the room
"Yes" Severus answered without looking up and offering no more information.
Well isn't he just chatty, Willow though to herself. "Well what are you doing here?"
"I'm protecting you and I'm reading a book so if you don't mind I'd love to continue doing both things without interruption."
"Fine, Whatever Mr. Friendly" He was something else, Willow decided as she settled down in the bed. However she noticed he was no longer reading the book but looking at her instead, and she was even more surprised when he spoke kindly (well she supposed it was supposed to be kind). "You need to heal, go to sleep. Someone will answer your questions in the morning.

It's amazing how crazy that girl was already making him. "I kissed her! She liked it!" Charlie kept repeating over and over in his head as he headed back to his room. Starting to get ready for bed he remembered something that Dumbledore had mentioned earlier in the day "who had given us the tip about Sunnydale?" It might turn out to be very important.
"I'd better get it done before I head to bed, there's going to be too many things going on tomorrow."
Dad,
Merlin, did you send us into a weird situation here. No time to explain, but I need to know where you got the tip about Sunnydale from.
Love, Charlie
P.S. I think I'm in love...
Charlie wasn't sure why he added the last part but left it anyway as he rolled up the parchment and headed to the owlry. Hopefully Ron wouldn't mind he borrowed that little pest he called an owl.

Harry had gingerly disentangled himself from Ginny. All this fuss over a boy. Girls seemed to spend an awful lot of time crying. First Cho, and at least Cedric was dead so she had a reason to cry, but now Ginny too. And that Robert fellow had been an idiot anyway. He patted her back as he led her to the girl's staircase.
"Ginny, everything will seem better in the morning." He tried to console her but she just looked away forlornly and left the common room.
After she left Harry headed back to the sofa in front of the fireplace where Neville was still sitting quietly.
"Has she been like that long?"
"All night?"
"Do you know exactly what happened?"
"Not really, I mean obviously he broke up with her. But..."
"Well I'd love to go and get Ron and talk to him, but there's too much other bull going on right now."
"The American Witch?"
"How did you know?"
"Have I not been friends with "the boy who lived" for five years? Even I pick up a few things"
"True"
They both stared at the fire for a few minutes, comfortable in the silence until Neville spoke "So you do want to fill me in on what's going on?" Harry looked at Neville for a moment; he was one of his most trusted friends apart from Ron and Hermione. And he had stood by him when no one else was, and his progress last year with Defense against the Dark Arts" And so whispering he filled Neville in on all the details of Willow Rosenberg and the Slayer.

Hermione ran blindly, tears cascading down her face. How could he, he was supposed to be hers...well not really but he was. She loved him, he should have known enough to know that. And there he was kissing that airhead. Gasping for breath and feeling suddenly very sick she stopped running, leaning her body against a cold wall. With her head in her hands all she could do was cry, she couldn't think, couldn't speak. Just feel.
"Looks like someone's been fighting with the Weasel" A cold voice interrupted her sobs. "Oh Merlin, I don't need this now." She thought and in one fluid motion she grabbed her wand out of her robes and lifted her head up.
"What do you want!" She said pointing her wand at the blonde wizard with each syllable
"Oh a little touchy tonight? Had a lover's spat?" Draco Malfoy was grinning at her obvious distress.
Looking at his face and without even thinking, she turned him into a ferret. It had been the first thing that had come to her mind, and she knew it was too harsh and against the rules. But before she had a chance to fix her mistake another even colder voice spoke behind her.
"I would really prefer if you turned my son back now"
