In a Dream

Author's Note: Hey everyone! Thanks for reading and replying! Enjoy!

Important!: Earlier we had put that this was in 2nd season, well we changed it to the summer between 2nd and 3rd season so basically Angel and Kendra are dead, Buffy's back from L.A. and our little zombie party fiasco already happened in August instead, so yes we're a little insane, but it works since this is AU. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Years Went By

"Giles!" Willow squeaked, "You knew this whole time and didn't tell me? Why?"

Giles sat down on the couch and looked up and Willow, whose face matched her hair color, "It was for your own good."

"My own good?! This is my life! You could have told me! You should have told me! I lost so much of my life and you knew I could've gotten it back sooner!"

"Yes, I guess I could have, but Willow, I wasn't supposed to."

"Not supposed to? Why not?!"

"Thats something for another time," he said taking a sip of his tea.

"That's something Dumbledore would say," Sirius commented, walking through the front door into Giles' condo.

"Dad! I mean, Sirius!" Willow cried.

Giles laughed, "Still like being called Sirius and not 'dad,' old man?"

Sirius glared at Giles, "Old man?" A smile then broke across his face, "Glad to see you again Ripper." Sirius frowned and looked around at all the others in the room.

"Oh, it's okay, well all know about Giles and his badass-demon-bringing- forth-days," Buffy provided.

Sirius laughed. This girl seemed pretty good natured, no wonder Willow liked her. He sat down next to Giles on the couch and he suddenly noticed Willow's face, it was gradually getting lighter and lighter shades of red. He looked at her with a questioning look on his face and asked, "Are you angry? "

Willow sighed and plopped down in an armchair, "I was just asking Giles why he didn't tell me about you."

"Questioning?" Xander said sarcastically, "You were giving him the whole third degree."

"Well I may have been a bit harsh-"

Willow was cut off by Buffy, "Harsh? Will, that was– okay, shutting up," she said realizing she'd done worse to Giles.

Sirius laughed to himself, these friends of Willow's were genuine, and rather amusing. Sirius turned to Willow, "Giles is right, another time is better for telling you why you didn't grow up with me, but there's something else that I want to tell you all." He looked around at the group with a smile plastered on his face.

With this Xander sat down on top of Willow, "Xander!" she yelped.

Xander grinned and moved to the arm of the chair and Buffy took a seat on the table. Sirius looked at Buffy and Willow, "Well, Willow, you're obviously a witch, because I'm a wizard."

Buffy and Xander had puzzled looks on their faces, but the suddenly remembered Willow saying that Sirius was a wizard. It wasn't too weird considering that Buffy was a vampire slayer.

"So I talked to Dumbledore and he said that you should join Hogwarts. It'll be some hard training but...I think you can do it if you want to." Sirius then switched his gaze to Buffy. "And I was informed that you're a witch as well, Ms. Summers. Except, obviously you're muggle-born because your parents are both muggles. Apparently somewhere along the line one of your family members had witch or wizard blood." Sirius explained.

"Muggle?" Buffy asked, not even shocked at the news about being a witch.

"You can only be told you're something supernatural once or twice and then it just gets old," she thought to herself.

"Muggles are people who aren't magick."

"What about me?" Xander asked, practically falling off the arm of the overstuffed brown chair.

"Well...you're...essentially just you." Sirius replied with a hint of guilt in his voice. "But if you so choose, I'm sure Albus would have no qualms with you coming to Hogwarts as well. Obviously you are somewhat magically inclines from living in Sunnydale so we don't have to worry about you rushing off to an urgent doctor's appointment at the sight of the school. Hagrid might like your help."

Xander suddenly lit up, "Sweet! What's a Hagrid?"

Sirius could have smacked himself upside the head. "Hagrid is the gamekeeper at Hogwarts...which is where you all will be going. You do not have to go, but I think it'd be fun. I know I had a great time when I was there. My Godson goes to Hogwarts as well."

"But what about the Hellmouth? There's no slayer here to guard it, Kendra was killed and we still haven't met the new one," Buffy said suddenly.

"Don't worry, a new girl is being sent over right away, her name is Faith, she should keep track of this place while you're gone."

Willow looked at her friends expectantly. "Well?"
