Prologue

Disclaimer: believe me if I owned BtVS or Harry Potter, I would not be working my butt off to get through uni. In other words no I don't own em.

AN: This is set after OoTP and season seven of BtVS. Also it's my first fanfic I'm game enough toput up so please be kind and review. Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top?

AN2: I should probably mention that although I've cheaked this myself my computer doesn't have spell-checker (yes I know I REALLY need to get a new one) so I apolgise in advance for any grammer and spelling errors. Thanks. Enjoy the story.

It was to the surprise of everyone in the Great Hall when a large bald-headed eagle flew in with the post at breakfast. It was even more surprising when said bird landed infront of Professor Snape, Hogwarts Potions Master, who according to most of the residents of Hogwarts never received mail. However to the vast disappointment of Hogwarts ever nosey students all the professor did was calmly take the letter and with a last glare walked out the Great Hall.

"I wonder what that was about?" questioned Harry Potter from his seat at the Griffindor table as the noise around them increased exponentially.

"Probably something from You-Know-Who" grunted his best-friend Ron as he shoveled more bacon into his mouth.

"Oh honestly! That was a bald-headed eagle, whoever sent him that letter is from America" stated Hermonie, while looking like she was trying not to be sick due to Ron's display of table manners.

'Who would be sending Snape something from America?' thought Harry as he headed off to Transfiguration their first class of the day.

At that moment, halfway around the world in LA, a young blonde slayer was packing what few clothes she now owned into a suitcase as she prepared to take the first holiday she'd had in seven years, if one excluded dying, with an old family friend in England.

AN3: just a question does anyone know how many cents are in a quarter, dime, nickel and penny? As you can probably tell from the question I'm not American and I got an assignment due that uses their currency. So if anyone could be kind enough to help me, I would really appreciate it.
