Grimmauld Place
Xander stood across the street from Number twelve Grimmauld Place, watching a seemingly empty lot. He focused his left eye, when a call came in through his headset. Buffy was on the line from the rear of the house. She was ready to go in, when Xander told her to hold up a minute. He quickly turned to Spike, who was busy putting out his cigarette, and asked if he would be so kind as to lead this venture. Buffy on her end asked the same of Harmony.
There happened to be ten slayers including Buffy and Kennedy, a muggle with an enchanted sword, an elf and a vampire. Oh…and Harmony. Along with them were three witches, Amanda, Sarah, Mrs. Weasley and another muggle named Mrs. Granger. For backup, Faith was stationed at the Slayer mansion in London with Giles and another twenty slayers.
Except for Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Granger, Xander, Buffy and the others wore the slayer armor, all black with cloaks to hide their identities. The armor was developed by Willow and Xander to better protect the slayers in battle.
"Ready…on three."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
Spike slammed his foot into the door smashing it open. He then rolled into the room checking all the possible hiding places as he went. Giving the all-clear signal Xander and Amanda ran in. with Xander using night goggles to check around. Three slayers followed with Mrs. Weasley and another slayer as rear guard.
Kennedy turned to Xander and Spike whispering that it looked like a hurricane went through here. Mrs. Weasley looked concerned, while Amanda patted her on the shoulder.
They cautiously went from room to room on the first floor meeting up with Buffy and Sarah. Looking to Molly they started up the stairs to the second floor. It was quiet. "Pop." They all stopped and looked back at Hamony…
"What?" Harmony asked. Buffy whispered for her to spit out the gum. "Ohh."
Shaking their heads, Buffy indicated to Xander to move to the right, while Buffy went left. Spike just went straight with Harmony following close behind. The others split up going three different ways.
Buffy was about half way through her search when she found two bodies lying on the floor both shot once in the side and then once in the head. Buffy motioned for the others to keep going while she informed Xander and Spike. She recognized one to be Mad Eye Moody, the other had red hair, and she glanced up at Mrs. Granger who had tears in her eyes. Buffy now knew it was a Weasley.
The other slayers had cleared the rest of the rooms, when shots were fired somewhere else in the house. Mrs. Granger looked up from going through the personal affects of the bodies as she rose to follow the senior slayer. A second later, Dawn appeared to transfer the bodies to the Slayer Mansion.
Buffy, Xander and the others had met near the stairway where they first started and then both took off down the main hallway where Spike had gone. They had gone about tree-quarters of the way down when they saw two people down. Kate, the slayer nurse, and Spike who was crawling into a closet, Spike couldn't be killed, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt when he got shot.
DeOgan looked at Xander who nodded as they pulled out two 44 mag pistols and proceeded to shoot down the hall at the snipers. The gun battle went on for a while, when Dawn showed up and pulled out a 357 and started giving support fire while Buffy worked her way towards Kate. Buffy dragged Kate into the closet next to Spike, who was still feeling the affects of the gunshot.
From what Xander could put together, the magic was cut-off, which was why there was no lights and occupants had boarded themselves up in a room on the second floor after taking a couple of casualties. They weren't expecting to fight without magic and then to try to defend themselves against guns, as well.
DeO was hit in the left shoulder, but as he cried he took a shot killing the shooter with a shot to the head. Groaning, he was dragged from his position into another room. Kennedy saw her chance and threw her stake, which ended up in one of the Death Eater's shoulders.
Buffy looked to Spike, who was up flexing his knee.
"You ready?"
"Bloody hell, I'm ready. If it wasn't for Kate pushing me out of the way my head might have been takin' off."
"No killin' Spike."
"Wot…? Xander and what's his face are…"
"Xander and DeO aren't vampires! Hey, where's Harmony?"
"HellifIknow. Lets go."
Buffy signaled to Xander who started to pour on the firepower with Dawn and Kennedy. While Buffy and Spike split up rushed down the hall.
As Buffy came to the first door she looked in to find Harmony beating on three Death Eaters. She then continued down the hall to the next room only to have a guy in black jump out and try to shoot her. If it had been anyone else, they would have been dead, but Buffy wasn't the longest living Slayer for nothing. As soon as she saw the barrel she sidestepped, grabbed the gun hand, broke it, and scanned the interior of the room. Two other people sighted her and were starting to bring their guns up when the guy that Buffy had just disarmed hit them. She had just rolled into the room when a gun went off where her head would have been if she hadn't of done what she did. Twirling she kicked the man through the wall. Scanning the room she gave Xander a quick call telling him to start down the hall.
Quickly moving to the door she noticed Harmony supporting Spike's position as Xander dropped behind her. There were only three doors left, two on either side of the end door. Stopping Spike and Buffy's progress, he and Kennedy moved to the front, crouched down and rolled a flash grenade into the two rooms. After ten seconds, two flashes went off blinding the occupants. Spike, Buffy, Xander and Kennedy moved in under the erratic gunfire taking out the last of the Death Eaters.
Buffy moving around in the room noticed a bathroom off to the side as she moved to investigate she was hit by a spell and knocked through the far wall. Xander immediately, rolled into position, gun in place watching as the occupant teleported away.
After checking with Spike, Xander had Dawn bring in the rest of the team to go over the house.
The occupants of the room heard the beginnings of a gunfight. They were perplexed as to who would come to their aid. Tonks was sitting in the back comforting Mr. Granger. Mr. Granger had saved Tonks from being killed by taking out the shooter with a round house kick, but ended up getting shot by another. Luckily he was shot before when he was in the British military so he knew what to do. Moody was shot trying to clear the house out. A hooded girl on the other hand stabbed Dumbledor in the chest with a knife. They didn't know if he was going to make it.
Tonks just watched them knowing that there was nothing to be done. She had tears flowing down her face. She was scared; she didn't want to die, not like this anyway. That's when the gunfire started.
And the screaming. The yelling and the fits of death that rang in her ears.
Buffy slipped silently on through the house. Hoping to catch any of the left over's off guard. Turning a corner she heard chanting. Got cha…She thought as she silently stepped behind the cause of the lack of wizard magic. Another wiccan it seemed. She got behind just in time to pull the hood off.
"Ok. Lets see just who you whoa…not gooooood…" She is suddenly lifted by the wiccan's power and slammed though several walls. Amy turns around with a bloody knife. "Stupid slayer. It won't matter. If you survive that, the bomb blast will certainly take care of you."
She disappears, but not before Xander comes from his hideaway, catching her face. "Amy. Damn it." He then runs off to warn the others.
About ten Minutes later, most of the shooting had stopped, when from their left, a body came flying through the wall breaking studs and putting a hole through the wall. Lupin and Harry went to defend the rest, when Harry's pipe was caught with one hand and Lupin's with the other. Then with speed that nobody in the room could even fathom the individual spun, kicking they're feet out from under them. Ron and several others including Hermione went to help the Harry and Lupin.
That was when Buffy dropped her hood and looked at the occupants of the room.
"Buffy?" Harry said.
At about this time Xander rolled into the room with three other black-cloaked individuals behind him. Then there was a crash behind them and a very angry Spike appeared with Harmony and two more slayers. Lupin and Harry quickly made for their stakes because Spike and Harmony had their faces up. One look from Buffy and the vampires backed off returning to normal.
"Xander!" Hermione cried as she rushed forward in tears to clutch the young man.
After a little bit, Xander disengaged himself from Hermione to call Dawn. When she arrived they moved all to the Slayer Mansion in London. Just as Dawn had come back, Buffy got a call on her headset.
"BUFFY! Get everyone out now…explosives in basement set to go off in…thirty seconds!"
"Everybody out now!"
Dawn quickly teleported everyone out upstairs onto the street a good block down from where they were. That's when the explosion rocked the street throwing the people on the sidewalk to the ground. And leaving…an empty hole in a once empty lot.
Slayer Mansion
London, EnglandThe strain from Dawn teleporting all of the participants such a distance and so far, knocked nearly every one of them out. They crumpled to the ground, all of them on the Slayer Mansion floor in London.
Things were chaotic after they started to awaken, slayers, muggles, vampires and wizards all helping with the wounded and the dead. Dawn left with Xander to go to Hogwarts only to appear seconds later with Nurse Pomphrey, Snape, Flitwick and Minerva. They too hurried around to see what help they could give.
Minerva had found an individual who was lying on a cot. She checked his heartbeat, but there was none, so she sadly laid a sheet over his head and moved on.
Dumbledor was given considerable attention. He seemed to have been wounded by a special knife. No magic was able to penetrate the spell. Only natural human healing and time would work on this wound. That was a major hit dealt on the wizards.
After about two hours, a meeting was scheduled for about eight in the morning. Everybody crashed no matter where they were. Xander and Faith were cuddled up in the corner with Dawn on the other side of him. Luna was sleeping next to Harry as Hermione was huddled next to Ron. Some of the slayers had retired to some rooms on the second floor, while Harmony's head was cushioned in Giles lap. Mr. Weasley, who was summoned after the attack, was walking to the kitchen to take advantage of some muggle beverage called…coffee.
Upon entering he noticed the senior slayer Buffy rummaging through what she found as a refrid…refridg…a place you kept food cold. As he entered she looked up and asked if he was hungry. He said no, but upon thinking about it, decided to take her up on a sandwich. After a little while she handed him his meal and he watched as she took a bite of her sandwich. They ate in quiet for a while until she asked how his wife and friend were. He told her that Molly was sleeping peacefully thanks to the sleeping pills…odd name, but they worked… that she gave her. Bob Granger was doing better too with his injury. She then asked Mr. Weasley he was doing after the loss of his son. A tear slowly fell down his face as he told her of his son Percy's guarded secret. He was put into the ministry undercover to check over them, when he appeared at the Phoenix house to warn of a possible attack. He saved several people tonight, but he didn't make it out. Mr. Weasley then collapsed into Buffy's arms crying his eyes out.
After about four hours the sheet that Minerva had laid over a cold body suddenly started to move and was suddenly thrown aside. "Bloody hell! You take a bleedin' nap, they think you're dead," growled Spike.
After things had simmered down a bit, Xander thought it was safe to take a shower since they were empty. Disrobing he walked into the large shower and turned on the water. He sighed as the warm water hit his bruised flesh was two warm, feminie hands started to massage his back. Smirking slightly Xander called out. "Buffy, that feeeels sooooo good. A little lowe…" He didn't finish the sentence before he was smacked on the side of the head, followed by a long hot kiss.
"Boytoy, mistake me for B again and the only person you'll be sleeping with is Spike…mmm" Faith said smirking as he cut her off with a searing kiss.
