A/N: Here's the next. I hope you enjoy.
Response: Hey peoples. There are a few things that I probably didn't explain in the last chapter. This is of course BtvS/HP. It will incorporate the Buffy series but none of the Harry Potter books.yet. The only Harry you will see is little baby Harry. (Aww.soo cute) anyway, Buffy will go to America but you all have to wait to see how it happens. Oh, I suppose that I can say now that the only part of the books that I plan on using for the moment are the refrences to Lily and James and the Marauders, also Snape's Worst Memory from OotP. Keep reading and I hope that you all enjoy.

DISCOVERING A DESTINY
Chapter TWO.
Buffy stood at the stove, stirring the stew in the large pot. She was tired and knew that the night would only get worse but there was nothing that she could do about it and she decided that she would try and make it as good as she could for her sister.
Buffy loved her sister more than life itself and there was nothing that she wouldn't do for Lily. She was fairly certain that Lily felt the same way about her. The only thing that they disagreed on was whether their father should beat them or not. Buffy always held the belief that he shouldn't but he has the right to. She was raised to be submissive. Lily had to change her life and learn to be submissive. That was the only difference.
"Lily, my daughter!" Their mother said behind Buffy, startling her. "Welcome home." She embraced Lily who had come down the stairs.
"Hi mom. How are you?"
"The same, always the same." Their mother replied with a hint of sadness. Lily nodded understanding and Buffy continued to stir the stew. The girls set the table and Buffy served up the dinner.
"Will Petunia be home for dinner?" Lily asked.
"Not tonight. She is eating out with Vernon." Their mother replied in a tone that told both girls that she didn't approve of her eldest daughters boy friend.
"Where's my dinner?!" Their father bellowed from the hall then entered the kitchen and placed himself down at the head of the table.
"Here you are father." Buffy said politely and placed soup in front of him.
She stood beside his chair while he tasted it. Her mother and Lily held their breath to see if he approved. He took a spoonful and spat it back into the bowl.
"What is this filth?" He demanded, eyes blazing.
"Soup father." Buffy said trembling.
"Did I ask for soup. NO! I asked for stew. Where is the Stew?" He roared.
"On the stove sir."
"Well get it here now!"
"Yes sir." Buffy ran off and returned quickly with the food. To everyone's relief, he seemed to be satisfied with that food and they all started to eat in silence.
"Father. I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"The headmaster of my school wants me and Buffy to go and stay with some people during these holidays."
"What on earth would Buffy want to stay with freaks for?"
"I don't know, but the headmaster has told me that it is important and my friends have approved it."
"Let me rephrase my answer. NO!"
"But father, this would be wonderful for you. Imagine. The whole summer with out the freak and the freaks little sister." She persuaded.
His face went purple then he calmed down and looked thoughtful. His face- hardened again though. "Never. You go where you please. I don't care about you. But I don't want your sister to be in contact with freaks. It's bad enough that you are talking to her at all." He growled out.
Lily wisely didn't say anything, but she needed a way to get Buffy out of that house. Buffy looked over at her sister in astonishment. She could see that Lily was lying about being told to stay with people by the headmaster. But she could tell that her sister seriously wanted to get Buffy out of the house that she was practically a servant in. She was touched by the gesture.
Standing again to collect the plates Buffy tripped over the leg of the table. She fell on her face. Before Lily could jump in, their father was there. "Clumsy little brat. Can't do anything right can you." He hauled her to her feet and dragged her over to the stove. "Let me show you what I think of your soup." He growled and picked up the saucepan that was full of boiling hot soup. He emptied the contents over her head and she screamed in agony.
Lily could bear in no more. "Let her go!" She screamed at the man.
"Insolent little brat. Shut your mouth!" He yelled at Lily. She didn't.
Through the pain, Buffy heard her sister taking a stand against their father and almost yelled at her to stop it. She knew that Lily would be punished for that. She went to open her mouth when her elder sister whipped out her wand.
The whole family gasped. "Let her go now." Lily said deadly quietly. Their father was trembling for the first time in his life from fear. He threw Buffy at Lily. She caught her sister and kept the wand pointed at her father.
"Now here's what's going to happen. I'm going to go upstairs and pack my trunk. I'm also going to pack some of Buffy's things. Then were going to stay with my friends until the end of the summer holidays. You never have to see me again, but when Buffy comes back you will not hit her. If you even try to, I will know and you sir will be in serious trouble. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes." He spat.
"Good." Lily retreated slowly and carried Buffy with her.
Buffy sat on Lily's bed while she elder sister packed their things. She watched the things that Lily had with interest, but didn't speak. She felt that if she opened her mouth then the words that came out would be screams and sobs.
There was a tapping at the window and Buffy saw Lily's owl Ally trying to get in. Lily let her in. "That was quick sweetie." She exclaimed smiling fondly at the owl. She untied the letter from her leg and let the owl have a drink in her cage. She quickly read through the letter and sighed in relief.
"James says that we are both able to go to his house. We can come as soon as we are ready." She informed Buffy. Scribbling a reply that Buffy thought said 'thanks, were coming now, I need to get us out now,' she grabbed her trunk and Buffy's bag and used a spell on them so that they would float behind them. Then she lifted Buffy and they left the house. Lily for the last time, neither girl looked back.
