Disclaimer- I own nothing. Nothing I tell you!
Author's Note- I'm back, thank you to everyone who reviewed. I guess I should have thought about the fic a little better before I started writing. From all the reviews I just sort of realized that this whole thing couldn't happen, not that I thought it could. Yes, Spike is way too old to be Harry's brother and so I have changed it too great, great uncle or something. I've changed the other chapter, but you don't really need to read it, the only thing you need to know is that now Spike is Harry's great, great uncle, not brother. Thank you to all reviewers, if you didn't tell me, I would have never noticed. Ohhhhh, the first chapter and I've already made about the biggest mistake possible, anyway, feel free to point out any more mistakes when you review, you will review, won't you...?
Another thing, some people have asked me which season this is set. Well it isn't really in a season as such, but it is set after Spike turned good and get the chip in his head, but before the last season, so somewhere in the middle, you choose. And now the story...
Chapter 2- They meet
"So... here we are." Buffy said uncomfortably to Dumbledore who was standing next to a barrier at the train station.
"I see you made it." Dumbledore said friendlily. "How was your trip?"
"Wonderful." Spike said sarcastically. "I just love traveling long distances, I wouldn't miss it for the..."
"It was very good thank-you." Buffy interrupted quickly.
"Yes..." Dumbledore said slowly. "I have been told that you like to be called Spike that is correct?" Dumbledore looked at Spike.
"Yes" Spike answered shortly.
"I was just making sure. Harry is waiting for you."
"Oh joy." Spike mumbled.
Dumbledore decided it was time to show them the Hogwarts express. He leaned in to them and whispered so that no one else could hear them. "To get to the Hogwarts train you must walk through the barrier." He indicated the barrier with his hand.
"Are you mad? I am not walking though a wall." Spike said loudly, causing quite a few people to turn and look at him.
After the people had stopped staring Buffy said slowly. "Are you sure we walk through there?"
Dumbledore sighed. "I will go first; you two follow, just try and be unnoticed." Dumbledore turned and slipped quickly thought the barrier. Buffy and Spike stared, but followed suit.
Spike looked impressed. "If only I knew it was possible to walk through walls sooner..."
Buffy shook her head and turned too look at the train. "A whole big train all to us? Oh I feel special now."
Dumbledore stepped inside the train and motioned them to join him. "I suppose you can sit anywhere you want...but I think there are a few things that we will have to discuss about the summer first."
Buffy nodded and followed Dumbledore to the teacher's compartment. Spike trailed behind them.
Once they were all seated with drinks and a plate of biscuits in front of them Dumbledore began to talk. "So when we go to Hogwarts, you will only be there for a about a week, to meet Harry and maybe get to know a little about magic. None of you unfortunately are actually magic, you could say, so you will not be able to learn it."
"So what is the point of going to Hogwarts first?" Spike asked rudely.
Dumbledore looked mildly surprised. "I would have thought that you wanted to meet your nephew straight away, was I wrong?"
"No of course not, Spike really wants to meet Harry, don't you Spike." Buffy gave Spike a warning look.
Spike looked at Buffy for a second before directly addressing Dumbledore. "I hope you know that I don't want to be here."
"It did cross my mind..." Dumbledore said vaguely.
"I only came because you said that you needed me to take care of Harry during the holidays." Spike said.
Dumbledore sighed. "I am sorry I am taking you to Hogwarts then. Let's talk about the summer holidays." He changed the subject quickly. "You will be staying at Harry's other uncle's and aunt's house. They are dead now, but by right, the house belongs to Harry. There is nothing really to be done except to make sure he is safe and look after him. I think this is all I need to say. If I think of anything else important I will inform you." Dumbledore got up and walked out of the door, leaving Buffy and Spike staring after him.
"I think you hurt his feelings." Buffy said still looking at the back of the door.
Spike shrugged and turned to look out of the window. "The sooner we get off this train the better." He mumbled softly.
The rest of the trip was spent with Spike complaining and then Buffy complaining that Spike was complaining. The train stopped with a jerk and a few seconds later the door opened and Dumbledore stepped in. "We are there, if you would just follow me..." He turned and Buffy and Spike followed him. There was a carriage waiting for them outside. As soon as they got on the carriage started to move.
As they got closer to the school the castle became visible. Buffy gasped at the sighed of the high towers and peaks. Spike was impressed also, but decided to keep it to himself.
"It's magnificent." Buffy said, amazed.
Dumbledore smiled at her. "Welcome to Hogwarts."
They got off the carriage and walked up the steps to the school. "I suppose you want to see Harry first?" Dumbledore asked anxiously.
"Whatever." Spike said gruffly.
Dumbledore nodded and lead the way to the Gryffindor Common room. Buffy was still marveling over the enormous school and jumped when a painting talked. "They talk?" She asked shakily.
"You'll get used to it after a while." Dumbledore said.
They got to the Fat Lady and Dumbledore told Buffy and Spike to wait outside. "Wikkle Mikkle." He said to the Fat Lady, who immediately swung open. He stepped inside and saw Harry sitting on an armchair near the fireplace. As he walked through the common room there were quite a few people who couldn't hide their surprise at the Head Master being in the Gryffindor Common room. "Harry, Dumbledore said softly, "He's here."
Harry looked up at him and nodded. He felt scared. Would his uncle like him? Would he accept him? Harry followed Dumbledore outside. Spike and Buffy stopped talking as the Fat Lady swung back again and Harry and Dumbledore got out.
"Harry, this is Spike, Spike this is Harry." Dumbledore introduced them.
Harry looked up at his uncle and their eyes met...
