Chapter 2 – Stakeout

Summers House – Sunnydale USA

As Buffy got home, she decided to take a catnap so she would be fresh to go Bronzing later with Wills and Xander, and furthermore for slayage. However, as soon as she had dropped off, Buffy started to Dream.

Dreamscape:-

Buffy found herself in a small park area, standing alongside two men; one was very tall, with red hair that was tied back in a ponytail. The other man was clearly older; this was obvious, with his long white hair and matching beard. His eyes however looked much younger; they had a sparkle that was lacking in many not even half his age.

After a few minutes Buffy started to get the feeling a vampire was nearby, and someone was going to get caught by it. Suddenly there was a commotion near the entrance to the park, and the Slayer thought "here we go" as she rushed over to the source of the disturbance, and then she saw the potential victim; it was a teenage boy, about the same age as herself, with messy raven black hair. However his most noticeable feature was his eyes; they were emerald green, and they burned with an inner pain so like her own. When Buffy saw this she gasped; what had this young man seen to have eyes like that.

Then as he moved through the glow cast by the streetlamps surrounding the area, buffy saw he had a scar on his forehead. When she took in the shape of the scar, and saw that it was in the shape of a lightning bolt, buffy knew that she had found the new slayer.

As the vampire lunged for the young man, from behind buffy there was a cry of something in latin and a bolt of energy shot through her and hit the vampire, and when it did so the vampire staggered back. In the same instant buffy yelled "Now, press your attack and stake the creep!"

As she said this, the new slayer got a feral gleam in his eyes, and as she watched a shining silver broadsword appeared in his hands from nowhere, and advanced on the vampire, with the same look in his eyes. The vampire in question must have been either particularly stupid or just risen, because it got back up and leaped at the new slayer in full game face. With one swift slash the fledgeling was decapitated, and then in an instant turned to dust.

Once the new slayer had recovered himself, he moved over to the pair of onlookers, and started to discuss something about a dream, and a message.

"Harry, initially I was a skeptic, but after your little display over there I can see the whole thing is on the up and up. I just want to know, where did you pull that sword from?" asked the younger man

"Bill, I have no idea where or how I managed to get the weapon when I did. All I can say is that when your curse knocked the vampire back, something inside me snapped and I knew I needed a weapon to end it. Suddenly there the sword was." Answered the new slayer, now known as Harry

The older man started to speak "As it seems our various visitors were being truthful with us, I suggest we follow what they have told us. Tomorrow I will write to Mrs Rosenburg in Sunnydale and ask if she would be willing to take in her nephew for a while."

Buffy gasped, as her mind was racing a mile a minute. The new slayer was Willows cousin, and these people wanted him to go to Sunnydale. Talk about things falling into your lap! She started to listen again.

"Bill will be your watcher, and whilst you are in America he will teach you the NEWT requirements, and will cover some basics with miss Rosenburg." Said the older man

"That's good" said Harry "I was a bit worried I would have to leave the wizarding world behind whilst in California" As Harry said this, Buffy felt herself start to fade, and then with a start she awoke.

Straight away Buffy grabbed the phone and dialed the number for Giles and as soon as he picked up the phone Buffy said "We need to meet. Its about the prophecy". Giles answered "My place, 20 minutes" and put the phone down. Buffy then dialed Willow and Xander in quick succession and told them to meet at the watchers apartment.

Once the three friends had gathered at the watchers apartment, Buffy said "When I got back home I decided to take a kip so I would be fresh for the bronze later, but as soon as I dropped off I started to dream. I was in a sort of park area where there were two men, who were waiting for someone. One had red hair, that was tied back in a ponytail and blue eyes. The other man was much older, he had long white hair and a beard to match. He also had blue eyes that seemed to almost constantly twinkle. After a few minutes there was a commotion at the entrance to the area, and when I moved over there I saw our slayer."

"Well" interrupted Willow "What did he look like?" after a second the redhead added "That sounds so wrong, at least when referring to a slayer"

"His name is Harry, and he is about our age, has messy black hair, extremely green eyes, and is only just about the same height as me." Described Buffy "Willow" she added gently "Harry's your cousin"

As Buffy said this both Willow and Xander's jaws dropped, and Giles took off his glasses and started to clean them (this was a major expression of shock for the watcher. Whilst she had the rapt attention of the group Buffy decided to continue with the explanation. "The commotion was a fledgling vamp which Harry dealt with extremely quickly. One of the two that was waiting for him shot a spell of some kind at the vamp but it obviously did not have the desired effect as the vamp just stumbled back. When this happened Harry got a strange, feral gleam in his eyes, and suddenly a silver sword appeared in his hands. Once he got his hands on the weapon he had obviously dealt with swords before, because with two swift strokes, the vamp was decapitated and then dust. Once the vamp was gone he started talking to the two other men, which is when I got most of the info. It seems that even as an average person Harry is not so average to start with; he's also a wizard."

"If what you say is true than we must find this Harry quickly" Said Giles, at this Buffy snorted "Giles there is one more thing; he is coming here in a few days. They know that the watchers council will ignore Harry because he is a, well he, so one of the people that he met in this park was chosen to be his watcher. It seems that Harry has had a dark wizard after him for most of his life, so he is being sent here with this watcher to hide from this wizard. I also get the feeling that the Hellmouth has something to do with it."

Buffy turned to Willow "In the next few days, your mom should receive a letter asking if she could take in Harry for a while. Watch out for it and let us know."

As the three teenagers left to go to the Bronze, Willow turned to Buffy with unshed tears in her eyes and said "Thank you Buffy, up till now, as far as mom knew aunt Lily's family had been wiped out, and now are saying that my cousin Harry is still alive, and is coming to Sunnydale."

Privet Drive – England

10 O'clock, the morning after Harry's meeting with Professor Dumbledore, and Bill Weasley found the boy in question in the basement of Number Four, Privet Drive, Blocking attacks from Dudley. Yesterday, when Harry explained that he had left early to do some physical training, Uncle Vernon declared that if he wanted to get fit, then he would help Dudley with his boxing training. "After all, the best training for boxing, is sparing, and Dudley needs a sparing partner" said Vernon.

Yesterday, Harry was dodging most of Dudley's attacks, but today was a different story; Harry had blocked all of Dudley's punches, and launched a few devastating attacks of his own. Dudley was now sporting a black eye, a split lip, and a large bruise on his ribcage.

Suddenly there was a commotion upstairs. Harry had the tell tail pops of several people apperating in, and then he heard the voices of Remus Lupin, Bill, and Mad Eye Moody. When shouting broke out upstairs, first Harry could hear Uncle Vernon shouting at the four wizards, and then the order members shouting at Vernon, they had obviously found out what Harry was doing at the moment. Just as the four order members burst into the basement, Dudley chose that split second to attack Harry from behind. Acting on instinct, Harry threw a powerful roundhouse kick that knocked Dudley off his feet, clear across the room, and into the wall.

As Harry looked up and saw the three order members, he couldn't help but laugh at their expressions; Remus and Moody's jaws had dropped, and Bill was trying to hide the biggest smirk Harry had ever seen.

Remus was the first to try to speak "Harry, what the hell happened? When did you learn how to do all that?" But Remus's jaw was still wide open, so it all came out rather garbled. When Remus tried to talk, Bill could no longer hold in his laughter, and started to crack up.

A few moments later, when the order members had collected themselves, Harry asked "So why are you guys here? You can't have had a reply already, can you?"

Remus had obviously gathered himself enough to talk by this point, because he answered "We should have an answer for you two soon as Albus sent the letter with Fawkes. I just wish we knew what it was all about. Anyway we should have a reply by midday so we are here to take you to HQ to see Ron and Hermione before you go. We had better get cracking if we want to be there on time."

Taking charge of the situation, Bill said "Moody, you sort out the young Mr Dursley, over there. Remus, you will go and explain things to Mr and Mrs Dursley, and I will go and help Harry pack."

As Bill and Harry made their way upstairs, Harry asked "How many in the order know about the calling?"

"Just myself and Albus at the moment, but I think Tonks, and possibly Remus have a vague idea of what's going on" answered Bill "Albus and I thought It a good idea that you tell a very select group what is actually going on."

15 minutes later Harry had finished packing, and had been joined upstairs by the other order members who were all gathered round a portkey. When the world blurred in front of Harry's eyes, the new slayer was glad to see the back of the Dursley's for at least another year.

Rosenburg Residence – Sunnydale USA

Shelia Rosenburg was sitting at the Kitchen Table, Drinking a cup of coffee, after her daughter had left for school, when suddenly there was a tapping on the window. As soon as the window was opened, a big red and gold bird flew in, deposited a letter on the table, and then perched on the back of a chair. Intrigued, Mrs Rosenburg opened the letter, which was written on a rough parchment. The letter read:

Dear Mrs Rosenburg,

15 years ago you went into hiding on the advice of your sister Lily. Because you told no one where you were going to hide, coupled with the location you have chosen, it was impossible to find you.

Not long after you disappeared Voldemort was defeated, unfortunately at the cost of the lives of Lily, and her husband James. This happened in an attack on their hiding place, the location of which was provided by Peter Petigrew, who was the secret keeper for them. The only survivor of this attack was your nephew Harry.

After 13 years of relative peace, Voldemort has returned, and his main target is Harry. Up until now Harry has resided with Petunia and her family, but with recent events it is necessary for Harry and a guardian to go into Hiding. Because of the protection left upon Harry, He is safe if he is residing with family.

What I would like to request is that Harry, and the afore mentioned Guardian relocate and hide in Sunnydale for this school year, with your family. If this is possible it would be much appreciated if it could take place as soon as possible. If it is possible for you to take in Harry, and if possible a Mr Weasley (The Guardian), send a reply with the bird that delivered this missive, and I will receive it within the hour. It is imperative that Harry is relocated ASAP, so a speedy reply is necessary.

Yours Thankfully

Albus Dumbledore

As soon as Shelia had finished the letter, she had already decided on a positive response. As soon as she had written a reply, and given it to the bird it flew out of the window, and was gone. Straight away she went to prepare a room for her nephew, and the guardian mentioned. Knowing a little about the wizarding methods of travel it was possible for them to arrive almost instantly, so it was possible that her nephew and his guardian to arrive by that evening.

Review….. please

I am utterly shocked and amazingly pleased at the amount of brilliant reviews I have received from all you wonderful people in such a short space of time. For Hogwarts Generation X to receive 47 reviews it took 7 chapters and just over 12000 words, and I achieved over half that in 2 chapters and just over 2000 words.

Thank you
