Bring on the Rain
By Shelly Philipak
Summary: A shattered, lost Slayer fights to find herself in the wake of Angelus.
Author's Note: Okay, I'm on this HP BtVS kick of late especially am I intrigued by the pairing of Harry and Buffy. To me they seem perfectly suited. And I have read many great fics out there by talented authors (DragonKatGal and Lissette to name a few) that really brought to life the idea of this coupling so I'm about to throw my hat into the ring as well if you'll indulge me. Now, I'm not the most original writer in the world and if anything I use has been taken from another author's story I heartily apologize in advance and beg your forgiveness. This fic is set after Buffy sends Angel to Hell to save the world. Using creative license I'm going to have the Griffindor trio be about to start their seventh year at Hogwarts which will put them right ton par with Buffy as far as the age thing is concerned. So, hmmm, I think that about covers it. Oh, the title is from Jo Dee Messina's song "Bring on the Rain" which to me fit the situation at the end of season 2, or any season of Buffy for that matter, perfectly. So, here it is. Happy reading. Oh and if you already read the previous first chapter I redid it as me muses decided to send me on a different track, sorry about that. So again, happy reading
"Another day has almost come and gone,
I can't imagine what else could go wrong,
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door,
A single battle lost, but not the war
Cause tomorrow's another day.
And I'm thirsty anyway,
So bring on the rain"
"Bring on the Rain" by Jo Dee Messina
In horror, Buffy stared at the place her lover had just been. Hot tears flooded her eyes and she felt a cold settle in her soul as realization washed over her at what she had just done to save the world. The sword clattered to the floor unseen as the blonde Slayer brought her hand to her mouth, her green eyes wide and stricken, her head shaking back and forth in denial. Slowly, almost in a daze she backed away from the Acathla demon and started to stumble from the grounds when a roaring sound made her pause. Slowly she turned around half hoping that Angel had been sent back but not daring to get her hopes up. The rumbling increased and the ground began to shake and even with her slayer balance she had to struggle to stay upright. Her defenses at the ready she stood ready for anything, drawing from the core of strength that was the Slayer to face this next challenge. The roar grew to deafening proportions and the mouth of the Acathla slowly yawned open then with a blinding flash of light all was silence and the statue was once again dormant but where before the space in front of the statue was free space now lay a crumpled form of a man.
Any guesses who the man is? Keep in mind from the HP universe and this will take place their 7th year at Hogwarts. Everyhting that has happened in the book sup to theend of The Order Of the Phoenix isin effect
