Disclaimer: ok, you guys know the drill... none of these characters are mine. Buffy and her Scoobies belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. Harry potter and company belong to j. k. Rowling.

Setting: In the Buffy world, Willow never brought Buffy back but its now in season 6 .

I have seen that the whole Dawn high school thing is mixed up so I added a note to explain it all: Dawn refers to her first day at SHS as her "first day of high school." Yet she should be 16 years old and a sophomore by now, given that: A) she was 14 in Season 5 (this was stated in "Real Me" and "Blood Ties"), B) she said that she was a freshman in Season 6 ("All The Way"), and C) she said that she was in high school in Season 6 ("Older and Far Away"). Generally, you start high school at 14 (or even 13 if your birthday is early in the school year), so it was already slightly odd that she seemingly started high school at 15, but you could try to use the whole Key thing to justify that. She could perhaps actually be a sophomore, if Sunnydale is one of those fairly rare high schools that begin in 10th grade rather than 9th, but she clearly stated that she was in high school last season, so that's still a goof. In addition, there were statements in Season 5 that she was in both junior high ("Checkpoint") and 9th grade (Tough Love"), which supports the "high school starts with 10th" theory, but which means she should be a junior (11th grade) by now! (Some people speculate that she could have been held back last year, but that's the sort of thing that would logically have been mentioned in this episode if the writers intended it. Anyway, it doesn't explain away the goof; she still said that the first episode of season 7 was her first day of high school despite having said she was a freshman in high school last year.)

Complicated, right? I decided to put Dawn in 11th grade, turning 16, 2 years after Buffy died ( the timeline may be complicated, if you guys want me to explain again, just ask!)

In the hp world, it starts in book #6, after Sirius died! Harry is turning 16

Rating: PG thought it maybe will change anytime!

Summary: Harry and Dawn are both sad by the death of a loved one. What will happened when the correspond with each other?

Author's note: Hey people! This is my first fan fiction story! Ok, you may see some misspelled word but that will probably be normal... see, my first language is French but I am nearly totally bilingual. Please, be nice when you see any misspelled word! Also, if you feel like giving ANY advice on how to continue the story, feel free to do so!

Legend: this is told by a narrator, this is told by Dawn in her head

Ok, now the story begins!

Chapter 1: Birthday of Memories

Dawn Summers was now in high school, grade 11. she was at SHS, the new one. She didn't have any friends except the ex-scoobies because, after Buffy died, she fell into a depression. Today Dawn's birthday. She was turning 16. Also, soon, it would make 2 years since Buffy took the dive.

Dawn came home to a quiet place on her 16th birthday. It looked the same as 2 years ago. The people inside were relatively the same. Gilles left for England. Xander and Anya married. Tara and Willow were still together. Dawn and Spike did patrolling, sometimes accompanied by one of the ex-scoobies. Life was ok for all except Dawn. The pain hurt more on her birthday because Buffy always made a bid deal about it. Last year, she got presents on her bed along with notes from all the gang. This year, she didn't expect anything more. Boy, was she wrong!

She came home after patrol, opened the door when "Surprise!"

In the living room were Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow and Spike. All of them were up to greet her, except Spike. He was in his corner, as usual.

'Happy b-day Dawnie!" Said Willow, after hugging her.

Tara came next. She hugged dawn then gave her one of her small smiles.

"Hey, the Dawnster is now officially 16! 16 is the year for fun!"

That was Xander, he hadn't changed much.

"Ya 16 is the year for sex and your fist orgasm and..." "Anya", butted Xander," off subject and not a good subject for Dawn."

"Its ok Xander, I'm used to it."

Anya. She will never change. She hadn't changed. But Xander had. Now, he didn't take things for granted and he took every moment of life that he could to enjoy it. He had changed.

Spike came up next. He whispered in her ear, not too loud so that she was the only one who could hear him. "Happy birthday lil bit. She would be so proud of you."

Dawn knew about who he was talking about. Buffy. He was the only one who would talk about Buffy with her. The other acted as if they had forgotten about her. They never spoke about her.

" Wow guys, why all the big party? I'm only turning 16!" Dawn said after they had showed her the cake and the presents.

"Well, we thought that we should celebrate since, hey, you only turn 16 once!" said Willow.

"Thanks . I love the thought but I think that I'm going to go to bed instead. I'm really tired with patrolling and all"

Willow looked as if the world had stopped. She was so shocked that Tara had to answer.

" Ok. You can open your presents tomorrow, then?"

"Ya. Thanks guys. Goodnight."

Dawn kissed them all goodnight. Then, she climbed the stairs, closed the door of her room then threw herself on her bed, with 2 rivers poring down her cheeks. She feel asleep, crying about her sister, the one that she missed so much.
