Chapter 5: Journey To Hogwarts.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and co or Buffy and co.
(A/N:: I'm not really sure where this is going just yet. Or when the last part of my crossover will kick in. just so that you know… I'll give a clue at the end of this chapter!)
"Harry, Buffy. Arabella and I think it is best if you both come to Hogwarts for the rest of the holidays, as, Buffy, you will be the target of many attacks from the Dark Lord. This is because you did not show any effects from the Cruciatus curse. They will want to know why and will not stop until they find answers; another thing is you might want to invite Miss Rosenberg and Mr Harris: they are your best friends after all. Harry I believe it will be safer for you as Mr. Malfoy knows you live here in Surrey, it would only be a matter of time until they find your house and kill you."

Harry was overjoyed by the fact he was going to the only place he called home, 'bit ironic really,' he thought, ' the only place called home is school.' Buffy didn't react how Harry thought she would, after getting news that someone would want to kill you she just said,
"Again? What is it with people wanting to kill me? Jeez…" and she trailed off "Oh I need to call Willow! Could I use your phone please Aunt Bella?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Buffy walked into the cool kitchen and just stood there for a moment, letting her eyes adjust to the dim light of the inside. She walked over to the phone and dialled her best friends home number remembering to add the American international number*
"Willow Speaking." Came Willows cheery voice
"Hey Wills, how are you all?" Buffy asked
"I'm fine, Xanders fine, Giles is fine. You?"
"I'm fine, in the sense I have a Big Bad trying to kill me 'cause I wasn't affected by a curse."
"Oh. There's a Big Bad? Wow Buffy evil follows you every where. That's pretty big."
"Yep must come with the job. Well anyway I meet the way old guy, and he says that you and Xander are invited to go to his magic school to be safe from this Evil guy."
"Oh do you want us to do research on him? Do you know his name? We get to go to a magic school? How come I never went to one. I can do magic."
"Will, calm done, your blabbering! Yeah you can do research on him, I think his name is Voldemort. I'm not sure if you'll come up with anything though, 'cause this is like some major secret community. Next answer, yep you get to come to a magic school and the American school couldn't detect you 'cause we live on the Hellmouth."
"Always boils down to the Hellmouth doesn't it?"
"Yep, again. Well I have to go, I'll call you soon with travelling arrangements are made ect."
"Bye Buffy!"
"Bye Wills." And with that Buffy hung up on her best friend. She went back outside were everyone was waiting for her.
"Well my friends wanna come to this school so I'm in, are you sure it's safe?' She asked, 'Cause my last school was on top of the Mouth of Hell."
"The school is protected by ancient magic's, Buffy, there are many secrets about it, even I do not know them all! Why in Harry's second year he uncovered the Chamber of Secrets, however this is not the time to talk about the past. Harry we shall go over to your house and collect your possessions then we'll be on our way to Hogwarts.
Dumbledore and Harry went over to Harry's aunts house. The first thing Harry noticed the royal blue Rover in the gravel driveway. 'Oh no,' Harry thought, 'they're back, and I thought I would get a quiet escape…' Dumbledore knocked on the perfect white front door from inside uncle Vernon shouted;
"Petunia, get the door!"
"Why hello there Mrs Dursley, we have come for Harry's belongings as a situation has arisen." Dumbledore said. Mrs Dursley ushered the pair inside, not wanting the neighbours to see the freaks on the door step.
"Boy, what's going on?!" uncle Vernon half shouted
"Mr. Dursley, Harry is going to have to leave earlier than expected, Harry and a friend were attacked by one of Voldemort's Death-Eaters."
"I thought you said he died, sir that's why the boy is here with us, because Potter killed him?" asked aunt Petunia
"Harry banished Voldemort from his body at the age of one, many people thought he had died but last year using Harry's blood Voldemort came back to a body."
Harry stayed back waiting for Dumbledore to finish the conversation with is aunt and uncle, replaying that fateful night in his mind. He made his way upstairs and started packing his belongings slowly. Lifting up under the broken floor board, Harry pulled out a pillow case full of particular belongings. They were the special things to him: birthday presents from friends and the photo album from Hagrid (from first year) with pictures of his parents and his friends.
Just after Harry had finished packing, Dumbledore came up muttered something and Harry's trunk disappeared. They made their way back to Mrs Figg's house to do the same to Buffy's trunk. She had packed two suitcases, one full of weapons and the other full of clothes.
"So how are we going to get to Hogwarts?" Buffy asked.
"Portkey, this allows us to travel from one place to another without losing much time." Harry paled when Dumbledore said it, but tried to hide it, "I'm sorry Harry. If I could to this another way I would."
"So how does this Port-key work?"
"You just have to touch it. It will only activate once the four of us touch it together," Dumbledore explained, he pulled the port-key out of his pocket, it turned out to be a woollen sock. Harry smiled at that, remembering a conversation with Dumbledore in first year about socks.
Harry put out a finger and touched the sock with everyone else and felt the familiar tug from around his navel then fell over from the dizziness of the ride, Buffy also fell over landing on top of him. Both adults remained standing looking like they'd just been in a tornado. Upon getting up he realised that the group had landed in the Entrance Hall. The gold glinted like stars in the clear night sky, the candles floated, melting white wax.
Harry got up and held his hand out to Buffy to help her up. When they made contact a powerful whirl wind started spinning with them in the middle of it. They couldn't see out of it! When the pair let go the wind died down leaving the greatest shock in the middle. There in the middle of the Entrance Hall was a man with short white silver hair, a long red trench coat and a giant sword on his back, and two different coloured guns, a white and black one…
