Thankyou all. I would also like to respond to the reviews I received for my most recent chapters.
Shelli3 - What happens to Buffy will become clear with this chapter. Lily is only seen briefly in this chapter. Dumbledore comes into the next chapter.
Wild320 - Unfortunately Buffy will not attend Hogwarts as a student any time in the foreseeable future, although I am planning an appearance for her when she is a bit older. *wink*
Charmedfanatic3000 - Merry Christmas to you too. Here is the next bit, I hope you like it.
Manticore-gurl071134 - I'm glad that you liked the chapter. Sorry that this chapter isn't as long as I would have liked it but I wanted to update a bit quicker.
Nelo - I completely agree that caffeine and fanfiction are the ultimate addictions. I can't sleep without a strong cup of coffee I know that it is a little silly though. I'm on the net everyday reading fanfic's and reviewing people. I'm pleased that you my last chapter and thought that it is 'awesome'. I hope you like this chappie
Chrios - WOW that is a great guess. How did you know? But really she isn't sad once she gets to America much. Oops, I've said too much.
WW - thanks for the review. Dumbledore helps Lily more than he helps Buffy but there will be plenty of interaction.
Merry Xmas everyone and have a happy and safe New Year!

Chapter NINE.
Buffy was beginning to hate her life. There wasn't much that she could do that she didn't receive a beating for. She hadn't been allowed to return to school and she was to spend the days either curled up in her bedroom or in the kitchen cooking.
The first weekend came round fast as she had slept for most of the week. There was one little thing that caused Buffy's life to change forever.
Someone rang the doorbell and her father went to get it. "What do you want?" He demanded.
"Mr. Evans?" A male voice asked.
"Yes? What do you want?"
"I'm sergeant Thomas. You are under arrest for child abuse and attempted murder. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law." The man said to her father. Buffy had heard enough, but the next was what she didn't want to hear.
"We have been informed that you have a child on the premises. This is Judy Baker of social services. She will be taking charge of the girl until arrangements can be made to get her to a new family."
Buffy's father of course put up a struggle. There wasn't much that the man could do though. Her mother had been missing over a day, and Buffy hadn't seen Petunia since she had come home.
Turning as fast as she could, Buffy ran from the lounge room and to the kitchen, trying to get the backdoor unlocked. The woman that had come with the man was rather large and had muscles. She pushed her way into the house and caught Buffy as she fumbled with the locks.
"No!" She screamed. "Let me go!"
"Settle down child, you're coming with me."
"NO!" She screamed and bit the lady before struggling free and freeing the last bolt. She ran from the house.
"Come back here!" The lady called after her and started to chase Buffy. Soon two policemen joined her. One of the men caught her and she kicked and struggled.
"Let me GO! PLEASE LET ME GO!" She begged them, tears spilling from her face.
"NO! Now settle down like a good girl."
"I can't go! What about LILY! I have to wait for my sister because I can't get in touch with her! Don't you dare take me! You have no right!"
"I'm sorry miss but this is my job. I'm under orders!"
"LILY!" She screamed. "LILY, HELP ME!"
"Settle down right now. You need to come quietly!"
"NO I DON"T! I WANT MY SISTER! YOU CANT SPLIT US UP LIKE THIS!"
"I can and I have. Your sister is a boarding school that she had paid for already so she is fine staying where she is. You on the other hand cannot stay here on your own so we need to re-locate you. This is what we do, this is the law." The Lady who now looked like pure evil to Buffy told her sternly. She gestured to the two men who were now holding the kicking Buffy. "Let's get out of here." She told them and the men dragged a struggling Buffy to the car. The whole time the tiny girl was screaming for her sister or someone to help her.

Lily had slept late and sat up that Saturday morning in a cold sweat. She knew that she had left it too late to tell Dumbledore.
