The Forgotten Line
Chapter 1- Meeting the New Chosen One
Let me tell you right now. I own many many articles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, most of the books, some of the unofficial (as well as official) guides, and the first three seasons on DVD. I also own all the Harry Potter books to date and have pre-ordered the fifth book.
However, I am a lowly fanfic writer, and do not own either BtVS or HP. If I did, I'd be sitting on a huge pile of money and be either a hermaphrodite or a transvestite.
Plus, I'd have to somehow be in two places at once.
The whole thing would be really messy, don't you think?
Thus endeth the disclaimer and thus begineth the author's note.
This was somewhat inspired by my mother's whining over why there isn't another Slayer due to Buffy's second death.
Which makes me think... if the girl dies and comes back enough times and keeps creating new Slayers, they won't have any more Potentials to gather. They'll all be Slayers.

"So, all I do is take this potion and I can keep my human mind?"
"Yes. I must warn you ahead of time that the potion is difficult to make, so it's best made by a Potions Master."
"Okay. Where can I find one?"
"Hogwarts, where I work. I'm sure if I explain everything to Dumbledore, he'll talk Snape into making you some. He probably won't listen to me, but Snape always listens to Dumbledore."
"That would be great."
A twig snapped somewhere off to their left.
Daniel Osbourne, a.k.a. Oz, and Remus Lupin halted.
"What was that noise?"
"I don't know... It sounded like a twig snapping..."
They heard a low growl coming from the forest to their left again.
"I don't really like the sound of that."
"Remus, run."
Remus looked at the young man.
"What?"
Out from the woods came five vampires. They all looked like they hadn't eaten in days.
"RUN!"
The two young men began to run as fast as they could. The vampires chased after them, not willing to let their prey get away from them.
'Why did we have to go walking the foggy streets of London in the middle of the night?!?' Remus Lupin thought.
'Why didn't I bring a stake with me?' Oz chided himself. 'I know better! I'm from Sunnydale, after all! Home of the Hellmouth.'
Suddenly, a very female voice spoke from up above them.
"Sorry, boys. Playtime's over."
'Gee, that sounds a bit like Buffy.'
Oz could see someone jump off a lamp post and onto the street. He heard the struggle more than saw it due to the thick fog in the area.
Remus walked over to him as one vampire screamed.
"Anyone else want to bite the dust?"
"Oz, what are they? And who's that girl?"
"Vampires. And, I'm not sure. Could be Buffy."
Remus pulled out his wand. "I'm glad I didn't leave this at Hogwarts."
More sounds of struggling were heard, and another scream came from the area.
"Tag, you're dead!" was heard before another vampire screamed as he turned to dust.
"I think you need some better lines, Slayer!"
"Sorry. I didn't realize I'd need this many puns in a night. I used them all on other vamps."
Oz crept closer to the fight and noticed one vampire and the girl in a bear hug of sorts.
"Enjoying the dance of death, Slayer?"
"Well, you know what they say. It takes two to tango." She headbutted the vampire. "Which is why I don't tango."
She landed a kick on a vampire rushing her from behind before staking the one she headbutted.
The final vampire finally noticed Oz and Remus and decided to try to get one of them while the Slayer's back was turned.
"Oz, look out!"
The vampire screamed and combusted mid-run.
The fog began to lift slightly as their savior appeared before them.
Her brown hair went to her chin, and her green eyes were narrowed slightly.
"You okay?"
Remus and Oz just nodded.
Remus noticed the rather large cut on the girl's left arm and the wide gash on her cheek.
"You're hurt!"
The girl merely glanced at her arm. "Oh, that'll heal in the morning."
"But, the huge gash on your cheek..!"
"That will heal, too."
"Aren't you even a little worried?" Remus asked, taking out a handkerchief.
"No. Hey!" Remus was beginning to dab at the blood on her cheek.
"I'm just trying to get all the blood off to see how bad it is!"
She pushed Remus' arm away. "I told you, it will heal."
Remus backed away. "Fine. What's this about you being the Slayer? I always thought they were myths..."
Oz finally found his voice. "Who are you?"
"Ruby Fier."
"Are you the Slayer?"
"Yes, I am. I was activated by Buffy Summers' second death."
Oz paled. "Buffy's... second death?"
"Yeah. Why? You knew her?"
Oz nodded. "Fought with her in Sunnydale."
Ruby's eyes widened a bit. "Oh, that's right. Her 'Scooby Gang.' I've heard all about you guys. Too bad all my friends are back in Jersey. I'm stuck here, protecting the Council."
"From what?"
"The First."
Remus tightened his grip on his wand. "Um, I think we have some company."
Ten very large, very horned demons approached them.
"Oh, shit."

Gah! I would love to continue this, but I have the evil that is homework to finish.
I wrote this mainly because my mother thinks that there should have been a Slayer due to Buffy's second death.
