Harry Potter and the Slayerette's Correspondence

A/N

Okay, my lawyer asked me to say that neither the characters, situations or places in either Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel or Harry Potter belong to me.  I make no money from them.  They belong to other people.  But the original characters, situation and places that I put said stuff that doesn't belong to me does belong to me.  'Kay?

See my lawyer and I have this thing going where I do something for him (telling people that I don't own this stuff but I do own some stuff) and he does something for me (negotiates with Buffy, Xander, Giles, Wesley, Dawn Cordelia, Angel etc. to see if I can use their correspondence too.  Which would be cool.  But at the moment there's this own legal battle going on about whether or not I'd have to pay them.  And whether or not I can use Dawn's letters without asking on account of her not actually being real.)

So hopefully soon I'll be able to have other people's correspondence too!  But at the moment, it's just Willow I'm afraid.

Another thing.  It's (obviously) a Harry Potter/Buffy crossover.  But there well may be some stuff in it that you don't recognise.  This is because of another of my fics called Darkling in which Buffy, Giles, Willow and Xander and Angel, Doyle and Cordelia all meet this girl called (have you guessed yet?) Darcy Regan!  It's not finished yet, but if there's anything you don't understand I recommend you read it.  There is some stuff mentioned in this fic (like Basil becoming a female vampire *lol*) that I'm planning for future fics but most of that stuff comes with an explanation.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter!

OMG!  You guys would not believe the place Giles and I just went to!!!!!!!  First we went into this pub full of really strange people dressed weirdly, and then we went into their back garden and then Giles tapped the wall and this opening just APPEARED and we walked through into this place that wasn't there before!!

It's called Diagon Alley and apparently it's where all of the witches and wizards in England shop!

The first thing Giles did was send me off to get a wand whilst he opened an account at the wizard bank for me.  And guess who I met there!  DARCY and SWIFT!!! (They say hi BTW)

Darcy was buying a wand too.  Hers is 11 inches long, made of birch and contains a unicorn hair.  The guy who owns the shop, Mr Ollivander, was really worried when he sold it to her.  He said it's been in the shop for centuries and hasn't ever matched up with anyone because the guy who plucked it from the unicorn was badly injured and killed the unicorn for it's blood which is apparently really magical.

My wand is made of ash, is 10 inches and contains – wait for it – vampire blood!!!!!!  Mr Ollivander says that only a few wands containing vampire blood have ever been made.  Personally I think it fits, considering life on the Hellmouth and what I'm here to teach but I think Darcy was a bit peeved that it didn't fit her.  After all, considering who and what she is…

Then we went and bought robes, which are the wizarding clothes of choice.  I'm sure some of you at least would like me to describe in great detail what I bought there, but they're just robes.

After that we went and bought a couple of bits and pieces from some of the shops; THEY SELL BROOMS!!! ACTUAL brooms, that FLY and EVERYTHING!!!!  Darcy picked up some divination stuff that she hadn't got or had broken or hadn't ever seen before (you know how she can be… she bought just about everything she saw!)  And then we went into Flourish and Blott, a magical books store.  I figured out what I'm teaching about!  Vampires and Slayers and Demons!  They actually sell Watcher's Diaries!!  Granted they're under the popular fiction section, but still!

I'm fedexing presents to everyone so keep an eye out for the mail!

Another thing.  I bought an owl.  Apparently once I get to the school (which is called Hogwarts BTW) my laptop won't be able to work on account of all the magic in the air.  Which seems a bit weird to me 'cause do you remember that spell I used to do to speed up my Internet connection etc.?  Anyway, the owl'll deliver my letters and stuff to you guys when I can't send you email anymore.

Anyway, I gotta go and pack.  I'm travelling to Hogwarts tomorrow.  School starts in two weeks!!

Love,

Willow
