Chapter 4 - Arrivals
As the two wizards arrived in Sunnydale, Harry found that instead of arriving on his rear, he managed to stay upright alongside Bill. "Where are we?" asked Harry, as he opened Hedwig's cage. "Well according to the address and map we were given, Willows house should be a block down, and a block over." answered the eldest Weasley brother."Harry you keep a lookout, whilst I get our stuff together" Bill continued. But as Harry turned he saw a figure running towards him followed by another. As they drew closer he saw that both had blond hair, the man who was running looked suspiously like an older Draco Malfoy, and he recognised the girl that was chasing him, it was the girl from his dreams; the current slayer. As the man got to where Harry was, he grabbed the wizard with surprising force and turned to face his pursuer.
Buffy had just left her house on Revello Drive to head round to willow's, to see if her cousin had arrived yet, but as she got to the end of the street she felt the twinge that indicated that there was a Vampire in the near vicinity. Then suddenly a man with blonde hair stepped out in front of her and said "Hello slayer" as he started to attack her. After a few moments another voice said "Spike, piss off before I stake you myself." as Buffy turned to see who the other voice was, the vampire referred to as Spike turned and ran, obviously not wanting to deal with the slayer and the owner of the other voice.
As soon as Buffy felt the air shift, she turned and took off after the blond vampire, after a block she saw they were coming up on two guys, one was a bit older than herself, and as she saw the other she gasped; it was the new slayer, the one from the vision. As the vampire reached the other slayer, he grabbed him, spun towards herself and said "drop the chase, before I drop him!", but before Buffy could answer, his captive said "You should really pay attention to who you try and use as a hostage, you know" before dropping his weight so that the vampire was forced to let him go, whilst shouting "Bill, we got a dead one here" before he swung back up and delivered a haymaker uppercut to the blond vampire.
Before either of the slayers could continue the attack, the vampire ran off into the bushes and disappeared, muttering, "Bloody slayers popping up all over the place".
Once the vampire had gone, Buffy took a good look at the newcomer wondering how to introduce herself, because she could hardly say "Hi, I first saw you in a dream, my names Buffy and I know your my best friends cousin." In the end she settled for "Hi, my names Buffy" and the ex - hostage replied "Harry Potter, and over there is my guardian I suppose. Anyway his name is Bill Weasley."
"Listen," said Buffy "Where is it you were headed. I'll walk you there, cos Sunnydale ... So not the safest place at night."
"We were looking for 1762 Park close. My cousin lives there..." Harry said, but before he could get any further Buffy interrupted "You're Willows cousin! Oh my god, she already told us about you, and that you were going to be in Sunnydale for a while. I was on my way there now to see if you had arrived yet."
"Hold on" said Harry "Let me just get Bill, and we can be on our way." Then the young wizard called "Bill, I have a guide for us, Hurry up and we can get going." after a few moments, a redhead who looked like he could be willow's older brother walked dragging a suitcase on wheels behind him. As soon as Buffy noticed the resemblance she blurted out "You're not related to wills as well are you?"
After a short walk, during which no more vamps were encountered the trio reached 1762 park close and knocked at the door, after a few seconds it was opened and a woman who looked an awful lot like Harry's mother grabbed the emerald eyed wizard into a crushing hug. Suddenly there was a squeal from upstairs and another redhead barrelled into Harry and gave him a huge bear hug. Shortly Harry was released and all three were ushered inside where it was explained that the pair of them were wizards, and why Harry was in Sunnydale (at least an edited version in front of Mrs Rosenberg) .
After a few Hours Buffy suggested that they meet Xander at the Bronze, and show Harry around town a bit. A quick phone call later and the three young people left Park close, and headed towards the Bronze. On the way Buffy passed a stake to Willow, and then said to Harry "Take one, its a nessesity when you're on the town with me" whilst offering him a stake. Harry replied by lifting up his jacket and showing both his wand and stake whilst saying "Got my own thanks".
During the time all three had spent at Willows home certain topics had been skirted around so as not to arouse suspicion from Sheila. Bill was currently explaining about the wizarding world and part of the reason why they were here. Prior to Buffy's arrival the pair had decided that Harry would explain things to Willow and any of her friends that needed to know. As the pair had just seen Harry's wand he decided to give the explanation.
Pulling the wand from its pocket Harry started to explain about the wizarding world, Hogwarts, and most recently his new calling as a slayer. Once he had finished explaining the calling of a slayer Harry noticed a pair of huge grins on both girls faces and said "What?"
"You realise you just explained my own calling to me!" laughed Buffy
"You're the current slayer?" asked Harry
"You're the first male slayer?" returned Buffy in kind "oh, and a wizard?"
"Bill is too. He volunteered to be my watcher cos we knew the council would ignore me. He's actually my best friends eldest brother.," said Harry.
By this time, the trio had reached the Bronze, and Buffy saw Xander waiting in the queue. When the Trio reached him, Buffy asked "What's with the huge queue Xand?"
"They actually have a decent band in there for once, some British group called Lostprophets. BTW when I say decent, that means not a tatty local band. Anyways who's the new guy?" asked Xander
"Xander, this is my cousin Harry. Harry this is Xander, the third and final member of the Scooby gang" answered Willow
"Pleased to meet you" said Harry
"Holy Crap, its mini-Giles" exclaimed the other boy
Just then the queue started moving and as the Scooby's plus the probable future Scooby entered the club, the band started to play.
"Yeah, and they got medium Giles back at Wills" added Buffy
"Who is this Giles person you all keep going on about?" asked Harry
"The G-man is Buffs watcher, Stuffy British guy. But we're all working on him. I guess we'll have to work on your Watcher-man too." Xander explained, over the music.
"Somehow I don't think that will be necessary mate." said Harry "Bill's last job was a curse breaker in Egypt, and since last year he has been working for an underground resistance to destroy an evil wizard and his followers"
"So whys he here now, with you?" asked Xander
"to help hide, protect, and train me to confront and destroy said evil wizard, who by the way has been on my ass since I was a year old when he killed my parents" explained Harry
"look, im gonna go get some drinks, you go round up Buff and Wills" Said Xander.
Harry looked around and saw the two girls had drifted off and were on the dance floor, with a couple of guys. Buffy was dancing with a tall, dark, brooding sort. Willow was dancing with a person about his age, but he felt a lot like Remus, and then it hit him; Willow was dancing with a werewolf.
As the young wizard started to make his way over to the two couples, they both saw him and started to head towards him. When they finally managed to reach each other, Harry said, "Xander's just gone for some drinks, lets grab a table". Eventually, the five managed to get hold of a table just as Xander got to the same. When the other boy saw who was with Buffy and Willow he said "Hey Deadboy, and hey..... Whoever you are." When both girls looked at him strangely he said "What? I don't know who he is but I wanna say hi. How strange is that?"
The young man who had been dancing with Willow said "Oz man", and then he added "and you?" indicating both Harry and Xander.
Willow answered "The one with the yummy English accent is my cousin Harry, and the one who cant control his mouth is Xander, my best friend apart from Buffy which is the blonde sitting next to Mr Broody over there."
"Mr Broody, is otherwise known as Angel," added Buffy.
As the next song started Harry said, "I recognise this. Just before I left England, my cousin over there started playing this band really loud to try and annoy me. Instead I really got into the music."
After a couple of hours of dancing/moshing the small group went their separate ways; Oz promised he would call Willow. As the Scooby's made their way back Harry explained about the fact he was a slayer to both Xander and Angel. For some reason he felt he could trust the man he now knew to be a vampire. As they reached the road where Xander lived, the four made arrangements to meet up the next day now that school was finished for the summer, and introduce Harry and Bill to Giles.
Apologies for not answering questions and stuff but I left things too long between updates, and currently don't have the time to answer them. Rest assured however I will work on answering some of them once exams are done.
