Title: Be Seeing You
Author: P.L.S.
Rating: PGish or Mild to Medium Salsa
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel or Harry Potter.
Summery: Xander finds out that the Watchers do more than just watch over the Slayer because he is given a new position, lesson to the most powerful and odd wizard and seer. Only thing is Harry's not of the same type of Seer that Cordilia was and Harry really doesn't understand why that matters.
Author's Note: My first try at Buffy-verse fic. I don't watch Buffy or Angel a whole lot, but I do love to read Xander crossovers. So what I know tends to come from there.
Chapter Four - There is Blood and Then There is Family
Xander was the object of amusement during dinner because not only could Harry turn his hair into a knock off of Medusa's famed tresses, but he could chat with the snakes that were hissing and twisting about of their own accord. Right now Harry was the translator for his hair and Debby, a rather quick witted girl who actually asked Harry if he could do her hair for school tomorrow. Giles nipped that idea in the bud, before Harry could even raise his hand to change her cornrows into hooded cobras.
"Just think Xand, now you can actually say your hair has a mind of its own." said Vera, trying to get him out of his pout. She was such a sweet girl, probably because she was the youngest from a family that really made the family from Leave it to Beaver look normal. As baby slayers went, she was rather tough, but she was the youngest in the Scrappy House too.
"So what other abilities do you have, Mr. Potter?" asked Giles. Harry frowned.
"I'm just a slightly more than normal wizard and an accursed seer, other than the talking with serpents I haven't anything else." Harry said, "Do you mind if I do a light reading of you, Mr. Giles?"
"Not at all. What will you look for?" asked the head of all the Watchers. Harry frowned.
"Name, family history, very superficial things, maybe an aural scan if I can manage it." Harry answered before closing his eyes. He opened them to find every eye on him and a bemused Rupert Giles, who actually had a doctorate a few times over.
"What did you find?" asked Alexis who was at Harry's side ever since she saw the snakes on Xander's head. Harry gave Giles one last searching look.
"Dr. Giles, you are a mage of light and chaos, a scholar who has the heart of a dragon, and the only living blood relative I would ever claim." Giles looked stunned at that last bombshell.
"How? You said your mother was born to a middle class family and I know my family hasn't a drop of wizard in it." Giles sputtered. Harry sighed.
"It's maternal, through my mum's grand mum and your mum. They were sisters and I couldn't get anymore without opening myself to a psychic attack." Harry said and Giles nodded.
"I think I did hear a story of an Aunt Mildred who eloped with some groomsman or some other such nonsense. So I would assume you are indeed family. Same nose and other odd things, as well as that reading." Giles said. Harry sighed.
"Well that finally explains why mum was able to call up a djinn. It was that mage blood from your family." Harry said, "My friend has been searching for that for years. It really made no sense for a witch to be able to do any type of summoning." Giles frowned.
"Have you done any summoning?" he asked in his most serious voice. Harry looked a bit sheepish.
"Er, just a bit. I had to summon D'Hoffern to get a treaty before the Malfoys could. They have some sort of idiot magus sect in their service and the Phoenixes refused to seek out a mage to help us counter the sect." Harry said, "Overall the man was rather refreshing to deal with. Rather like the goblins or dwarves. All business once he figured out we didn't know anyone named Buffy. What kind of name is Buffy in the first place?"
Xander and Faith both snickered as did Dawn who now had her hair in a short bob that ended just past her ears. Giles just rolled his eyes. They all had to admit Buffy wasn't exactly a great name for a vampire slayer who basically rewrote the book on heroism and saving the day, not that anyone ever had the guts to tell Buffy that.
"Well, what are your plans?" asked Robin and Harry sighed.
"Right now, I'm going to get you guys under a fidelius charm and ward this place so that those with ill intentions cannot enter unless given permission by all who live under the roof. Then I'll be on my way." Harry said with an odd smile and no one really wanted to know what it meant.
"Where are you headed?" asked Jessica in her West Virginian drawl. Harry shrugged.
"I'll figure it out when I get there. Right now, I'm just trying to stay one step ahead of Malfoy and the Phoenixes." Harry took a bite of another chicken nugget dipped in honey barbecue sauce.
"I thought those Phoenixes were the good guys?" asked Xander. From the very short history that Harry gave at the start of dinner, it sounded like anyone who fought dark wizards were good.
"No. It's not a question of good or evil. The whole of the UK's wizarding government and organizations are corrupt and as soon as the threat is gone I will either be turned into a villain because I'm rather uncontrollable, or I will be turned into a figurehead for a government that happens to have the same values as the dark lord, just they package them in neater boxes of propaganda." Harry scowled at his plate as if it was the face of the world he was running from, "I'm going to get set up, take out the Malfoys, and take on the role of the dark lord, then just live out my days in peace. If I'm the dark lord I know that the world will be safe until my death, and the Ministry and Phoenixes won't dare to turn on me."
"And how did you choose this half baked plan?" asked Giles. Harry smirked.
"Actually, it was a rather long night in a dirty little pub in Inverness and a sack full of gold."

Do I need to ask you to review?
I hope not, because I'm not that great about it either.
I'm sorry,
to you authors I love but don't review for.
