Chapter 1 – Revelations
Privet Drive – England
Harry had been back at the Dursleys now for a week and so far he had hated every minute of it. For one thing he had managed to get little to no sleep because of the dreams he kept having. First there were the visions from Voldemort, where he felt the effects of the unforgivables cast by the dark lord himself, as well as being force to bear witness to the countless atrocities committed by the dark lord and his followers. Next came the nightmares from Harry's own subconscious; fueled by the visions and things he had witnessed, such as the rebirth of his parents murderer at the end of the Triwizard Tournament, and the recent death of his godfather at the hands of the almost insane Deatheater, Bellatrix Lestrange.
But finally, strangest of all there were the dreams that felt like visions but had no involvement of deatheaters, there was one thing that linked all of these dreams in particular together and this was the blonde girl, who was able to fight almost anything and played a starring role in these visions. Just last night she had been fighting what was quite obviously a vampire, and an ancient one at that. To start with she was able to hold him off, but slowly lost ground and energy until the vampire knocked her out for a few seconds, which was enough for him to get a hold of and bite the poor girl. Once this had taken place she was dumped in a pool of water and left to drown, but before this could happen two men sneaked in and revived her then she proceeded to beat and stake the vampire. Last night though the dream had been different, instead of waking up just after the vampire had dusted only to find it was ten or fifteen after he had first dropped off to sleep, his godfather Sirius Black had shown up, and told him what the dreams were for.
Flashback :-
As the cavern where the blonde and the vampire had fought faded away, the dream Harry shouted "What can you throw at me next Tom", from behind Harry came a quiet voice "These dreams aren't from Voldemort Harry". This voice Harry recognized, the owner of this voice belonged to the one man that had treated Harry like a son, and Harry looked up to as a father figure. Slowly, the young wizard turned around; it was Sirius.
End Flashback
Sirius had explained that he, along with Harry's parents now worked for The Powers That Be. A long time ago, the PTB had foreseen that a slayer would defy death with the aid of a friend. Because they had seen that this would occur during a dark time, they decided to bring in a little extra help. It wasn't that they had picked Harry so much as 'The Boy Who Lived'.
The Powers That Be had foreseen the whole situation with Voldemort up until Halloween 1981, because here there was a divergence of realities. All that was known was that the boy who lived would be the start of a new line of slayers.
"So basically, if Voldemort hadn't gone for my family, I wouldn't be The Boy Who Lived, and now I wouldn't be a slayer, yes?" Harry had asked
When Sirius had replied in the affirmative Harry started to scowl, but then Sirius went on to explain that the slayer abilities, whilst not making him any stronger magically would give him the reflexes, speed, agility, and strength that would give him an advantage in any duel and would be key to the defeat of Voldemort. Sirius had been unable to tell him much about what was going to happen, except it would be all over within the next two years.
One of the last things that Sirius had said to Harry was "I'm afraid it will not be possible for you to attend Hogwarts this year. Voldemort will have spies on the train and at the station. If you are on the train, Hogwarts will be held under siege and lots of people will die." As Sirius said this Harry got a panicked look on his face, "Before you start to worry, if you are elsewhere Voldemort will spend his time searching for you" Continued the animagus. When Sirius said this, Harry relaxed a little but then started to look green "Don't worry, we wouldn't make you stay here all year. Actually with this comes some good news, you will be going to stay with a cousin in America. Her name is Willow Rosenburg. Now before you blew up we thought her family had been wiped out during the last conflict with Voldemort, only from up here we saw that they had survived."
Harry was shocked, he had other family and he was going to be leaving the Dursleys! "But wait, what about the newts?" Harry asked, "I can't learn magic alone in America."
"You didn't think you were going alone, did you?" said Sirius "As a Slayer, you need a watcher. Since we don't want the council to get their hands on you, we kinda picked a watcher for you. So on your little vacation you will be accompanied by Bill Weasley. Your Dad is off explaining this to Dumbledore, and Lils is doing the same for Bill. Whilst you are in America, he will teach you what you need to know for the exams as well as showing Willow some stuff. Willow will also teach you some Wicca Magic."
"Wicca Magic?" asked Harry "What's that?"
"Wicca is a form of wandless magic, the power is drawn from the world around you and the elements, rather than an internal magical core. Because of this even muggles can do Wicca."
The next day, when Harry had awoken things weren't quite right. For a start he felt a lot energetic and stronger than he ever had recently. Because of this, he decided to go for a run before he started cooking the Dursleys breakfast.
As Harry got outside and took off down the street, he caught a gasp from a set of bushes. As he rounded the corner, Harry decided to push himself, to see how fast he could actually run. Within minutes Harry has passed the same bush twice, when he was closing on it for a third time he decided to evict its occupant and find out who it was. Instead of zooming past, Harry slowed down and sneaked around behind it, moving totally silently as he did so but this escaped his notice. As he reached the back of the as yet unknown occupant, Harry said "Boo". As the bushes occupant jumped and then blatantly fell on to the next one, Harry saw that the mystery watcher was Tonks and promptly cracked up. Once Harry had recovered he said "Morning Tonks, enjoy the show?"
Immediately the young auror became serious "Harry, Do you know how fast you were running there?"
"No, why's that? You going to give me a speeding ticket or something? said the Boy Who Lived.
"I clocked you at 25mph constantly" continued the metamorphamagus.
Before the conversation could carry on further, there was a roar from within number four "BOY" shouted Vernon Dursley. "Look, can we finish this later?" asked Harry
"Okay" replied Tonks "The Park at midnight, don't be late"

Sunnydale – USA
After the Scooby Gang in its entirety had arrived, Giles began "After Buffy defeated The Master, I decided to do a little research to see if there were any other prophecies that we should be concerned with." As Giles finished this, Buffy sighed and said "Okay, who's the new big bad?"
"Actually there is no big bad. Buffy I feel the need to apologize to you; one of the things this mentions is the fact you will defy death with the aid of your strength, but the main reason you are all here is the next part of this particular prophecy which I will now read." Said Giles
The watcher began; "Adam's slayers will join with Eve's,
To protect Eden from the spread of Darkness,
The First will be the Lightning Child."
When Giles had finished reading, Buffy asked "And this means…….what?"
"The first line is basically saying that a new line of slayers has begun, as well as the continuation of the original" explained the Watcher
"In English, for those of us who don't speak gilesese" Cracked Xander
"A new, male line of slayers has begun, as well as the original continuing" said the watcher.
"Where did you get that from?" asked Buffy
"The Adam, Eve, and Eden References" Blurted out Willow
"Correct Willow" said Giles "According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the First Man and Woman ever created, so in this context we will assume that they stand for Male and Female."
"So basically Buff, you got some extra help a'comin" said Xander
"Uhuh, but what about the last line 'The first will be The Lightning Child', what's that all about?" the slayer asked.
"I believe that is a clue to who our first slayer is" Giles answered
As Buffy was still recovering from her fight with The Master, the Scoobies decided to call it quits for the night.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Privet Drive – England
At the same time The Scoobies were finishing their meeting, Harry was on his way to his meeting with Professor Dumbledore. Just as Harry reached the Park around the corner from Privet Drive and was about to walk through the entrance, the young wizard got a cold feeling across the back of his neck. Suddenly there was a commotion in the bushes near the entrance and a shadowy figure burst out from the bushes and started to attack Harry.
From within the park Professor Dumbledore, and Bill Weasley were waiting in the middle of the Park, discussing the revelations that had been imparted upon them the previous evening, whilst waiting for the subject of the revelations to arrive. Suddenly a surprised shout from outside the park drew the attention of the two wizards. As the pair spun round they saw Harry being set upon by a shadowy figure.
As they watched the figure lunge for Harry, bill drew his wand and cast the full bodybind hex, however when the hex struck its target, instead of freezing in place and toppling over, he merely staggered back into the illumination provided by the surrounding streetlamps; what the two order wizards saw chilled them to the bone.
The man has the pronounced ridges on the forehead, and the feral yellow eyes of a Vampire.
Just after Harry had fended off the first attacks of the vampire, something inside him snapped; it was time to fight back……
