Buffy, the witchy vampire slayer

Chapter 2 – Home again.

DISCLAIMER: Buffy the Vampire Slayer belongs to Joss Whedon, and Harry Potter to J.K. Rowling. I don't owe anything...-sighs-

TIMELINE: AU. BTVS: After Buffy season three.

HP: Before and after Harry's birth (Takes place during the maradeurs 19:s and up). The years follows the Buffy timeline.

SUMMARY: BTVS/HP crossover. Buffy leaves Sunnydale after Graduation to catch up with her past.

BIG SUMMARY: Buffy is an eleven year old witch and friends with the Hogwarts maradeurs (a year older), until her parents tells her they're moving to LA, because they wants to take her away from all the 'magic-stuff' (They don't want to accept the fact that she's a witch). Four years later, she's called as the slayer.

CENTRAL PAIRING: Buffy/Sirius

OTHER PAIRINGS: James/Lily, Willow/Remus, Xander/Anya

Reviews respond:

Willow Evenstar: Hi Emi! So you found your way here, huh? You think I'm talented? –beams with happiness- Thank you! And of course we're friends, friends are good! You think this one seems even better? Wow, I'm thrilled now! Comments like that is what makes my life worth to live! If you read closely, you'll see that Buffy is one year younger than the marauders, and this story takes place after her graduation in SunnyD. This means Buffy is eighteen and the marauders nineteen...James and Lily has not been killed yet, Harry's not born, Sirius is not in Azkaban and Peter isn't a betrayer – yet. I'm glad you like Buffy/Sirius! And the next chappie is here! Enjoy!

The Charm One (anonymous): Hi! Hope you're satisfied with this pairing! (It seems like it) You love me?!Thank you, that's so sweet! Yes, Remus and Willow is the perfect couple, but I agree, I love my Remus/Faith pairing too! (Although we haven't seen much of them – yet. Their time will come) As I told 'Willow Evenstar', this story takes place after Buffy's graduation, and since the marauders are one year older (the timline is screwed, I know), they're just nineteen, so nothing of the horrible stuff has happened yet. I am still arguing with myself wether or not I'm going to write it like it happens (Lily, James dies, Sirius in Azkaban etc.), or if I'm going to figure something else out. I'm glad you find my pairings yummy. I like 'em too!

Goddessa39: Hi! I'm sorry it won't be Buffy/Angel, but this takes place just after he leaves her after graduation, so it wouldn't work. I'm glad you like this anyway, though!

Renna (anonymous) & Delphinus (anonymous): & The Greater Dog: I'm glad you guys like my Sirius/Buffy pairing!

Untamed-Beauty: Hi there! Of course I can update, how is this for soon? If you've read my answer to 'Willow Evenstar' and 'The Charm One', you should know that this story takes place after graduation, and since the marauders are one year older than B, that would make them nineteen. In other words – Harry's not born yet, Lily and james aren't dead, Sirius is not in Azkaban and Peter isn't a betrayer. Yet. We'll see if I go through with that evil fact. Haven't made up my mind yet.

Panther28: Hi there! The marauders are nineteen, one year older than Buffy. Yes, xander and Willow will come to England later, possibly to stay. At least Willow will, since she and Remus will get together (unless I chang my mind, which is highly unlikely). As for Buffy being a slayer...NO ONE in England knows. Count with a big schock when they find out...

Locathah: Hi! In my story, Buffy is one year younger than the marauders, and since it takes place after s. 3 of Buffy, she's a little more than 18, and the marauders 19, so they finished Hogwartsfor about twoyears ago. (In the age of 17/18) Buffy is going to get a wand, and will propably going to learn a little magic, but I'm not planning on maing her an uber-witch. I think too muchmagic would slow her down instead of helping her, since I believe she would realay on that more than on her physical strenght, and I don't want that. So Buffy will learn a bit magic, but not too much. She will still gowith the kicking, beating and hitting. Thanks for your review!

Kat Hawkins: Hi! If you check my timeline, this takes place after Buffy's graduation, and since the marauders are one year older, that would make them nineteen (Forget the HP timeline, screw it completely), which means James and Lili hasn't died yet! I'm still thinking on wrether or not I should kill them, and play out everything like in the books (J/L dies, V disappears, P betrays, S gets to Azkaban), so I'll see what I do. But no J/L bringing back, since they aren't dead yet. -Jumps around with happiness- And yes, Buffy/Sirius are surely cute!

artimis-sandstorm: Hi! Yes, I'll propbly do up to OotP, but I'm not sure it will happen like it does in the books. We'll see about that. If Sirius dies? You want him to die? Hmm.... We'll seewhat my screwed up mind can do! I'll do my best (but if he dies, I don't say it's gonna be like in the books). Thanks for your review. (And yes, Buffy sure has a bad history with boys...but in my story, she has only been heartbroken by Angel, since it starts after season three. Soso Riley! -Thank God- No Parker, -Thank God again-, and No Spike -Too bad-)

Buffy stepped out of the gates at the London airport. She looked around. Everything looked exactly like it had when she moved to LA, for almost seven years ago. It felt so distant.

"Welcome home, me." Buffy didn't know why she was so sad. After all, nobody expected her to be here. She smiled sadly.

"Where do we go from here?" She took her bags and left.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Buffy went through the Leaky Cauldron, she hoped to see someone she recognised. Or even better, recognised her. But no one did. Most of the witches and wizards glared at her, and wispered 'muggle'. Buffy almost laughed. Yeah, she was a real muggle. If you didn't count the fact that she was both a slayer and a witch. Or, well, maybe she wasn't much of a witch nowadays. She hastily passed through, until she stood in a small, walled courtyard, where there were nothing but a dustbin and a few weeds.

"Let's see if I remember this right," she mumbled, and looked up at the wall behind the dustbin " the entrance to Diagon Alley. She had only been in there once before, with her mother, to buy her school stuff, although they had taken another way in. Now, she had graduated. Not from Hogwarts, but high-school.

"Three up...two across..." she muttered, and tapped the wall three times with her wand " wait, where was her wand?

"Damnit!" She swore under her breath. Her wand was long gone, along with all her other Hogwarts stuff. She walked back into the pub.

"Ehr...excuse me?" She asked the barman, who looked down on her, slowly raising an eyebrow.

"Yes?"

"Could you help me into Diagon Alley? I...I think I've forgotten my wand back home..." she mumbled.

"Really?" The barman, Tom, asked. The girl didn't seem like a witch.

"Do you go at Hogwarts?"

"Um... I used to, but I gratuated..."

"Oh! Of course. Just a minute." The man bent down behind the desk for his wand.

"...from Sunnydale high school," Buffy finished lamely, but Tom didn't hear her. At the same time as he came back up again, the door-bell tingled, and a man walked in.

'He lookes familiar...' Buffy looked closer. The man had light-brown hair, and...amber eyes.

Buffy could recognise those eyes anywhere.

"Remus!" She screamed happily, and ran up to him, throwing her arms around him, never want to let go.

"I...can't...breathe..." Remus said, still adjusting to the shcok. Who was this...mad-woman?

"Oh, sorry! Sometimes I forget my own strenght!" She hastily let go, and smiled up at him.

Remus looked at her small, neat figure.

"Do I know you?"

Buffy's smile faltered.

"You...you don't remember me..."

Remus looked even closer. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, a memory woke up...a memory of...he started to smile, when realisation fell upon him.

"Buffy?!"

"YES!" Buffy laughed, when Remus lifted her up, and Buffy hugged him again. This time, they almost broke one of the tables.

"Hey, be careful!" Tom screamed, but they didn't pay him any notice.

"How...?"

"What...?"

"When...?"

"I never thought I would see you agin..."

"Me neither...!"

"This is so amazing!"

Buffy laughed again. She couldn't help it. Suddenly, everything felt so right.

She was home.

"I take it you won't need my help, then?" Tom asked.

Remus and Buffy sat at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, enjoying an ice-cream.

Buffy had chocolate, chocolate and chocolate ("You can never have too much chocolate"), and Remus had chocolate, mint and...chicken. ("It must be my wolfpart.")

"So...where have you been all these years?"

"Oh, LA, at first, but we had to move when I burnt down the gym, so then I ended up in Sun..."

"...Woa, woa, woa. Take it easy. Play-back. What did you say?"

"Oh, eh...I ended up in..."

"...not that part! The part about the gym!"

"You noticed that part, huh?" Buffy said, sheepishly. "I burnt it down. To the ground actually. It was pretty colors."

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah. All red, and yellow and..." Buffy laughed when she saw Remus' face.

"Take it easy, Moony. I'm not a pyromaniac. I don't make it a habit to burn places down."

Remus seemed to relax a bit. Buffy got something evil in her eye and added:

"...If you don't count my last high-school. I blew that one up."

Remus got slightly pale, and Buffy giggled. Remus shook his head in annoyance.

"Don't trick me like that, it's not funny."

"I didn't trick you," Buffy said innocently, and laughed when she saw Remus' face.

"So...you really blew up the school?"

"Uh-hu."

"And the mayor turned into a demon?"

"Uh-hu."

"And you really blew up the school?"

Buffy gave him a look.

"You already asked me that.

"Sorry...it's just...you really blew up the school?"

Buffy shook her head sadly.

"I have to say, Moony, that I'm quite disappointed. I thought James and Sirius were the tickheaded ones. I always had such high hopes for you, my dear friend," she sighed dramitcally.

Remus smiled, and then got serious.

"You really blew up the school?"

Buffy laughed. "Yes, Moony, I did. But I told you about my reasons."

"Yeah...wait a minute. How did you know the mayor was going to change?"

Buffy looked slightly embarrased.

"Can we talk about this with the gang?"

"The...gang?"

"Uh-hu. You, James, Sirius, me, Lily, if possible."

"Oh." Remus face got a sad expression.

"Remus, I am so sorry! They really are thick-headed!" Buffy said, thinking the others had taken a distance from hom when they found out about his...illness.

But Remus just laughed.

"Buffy. They didn't leave me. You were right. It brought us closer."

"Oh. Oh! So...were are they?" Remus sighed.

"Well...from what I've heard, Lily is with James on a honeymoon somewhere in Europe." Remus laughed when he saw Buffy's surprised - but happy- face.

"Yes, they ended up together. Just like you thought. Sirius was bridegroom."

Buffy beamed with happiness.

"What about him? And Peter?"

"Padfoot is somwhere chasing girls, that's what he said at least, but I think he's just staying away from his family. Wormtail on the other hand...I have no idea. I haven't seen him the whole summer."

"Padfoot? Wormtail?" Buffy asked, confused.

"Oh, right. I forgot you didn't know. When I told the guys about my lycanthropy, they felt sorry, but they couldn't do anything to help, except being there for support. Then, in fourth year, James happened to stumble onto something called the 'animagus transformation', and they started to study it. I didn't know anything about it, in case they didn't succeed, but they did, in their fifth year. The animagus transformation allows the person who casts it, transform into an animal form. James is a stag, which is why we nowadays call him Prongs, Peter is a rat, Wormtail, and Sirius is a dog, therefore, Padfoot. If they're in their animal form during my transformation, they can keep me company, since a werewolf only is dangerous to humans."

"That's great! I told you telling them wouldn't be a bad thing!"

Remus smiled.

"Yes, your ideas were always the most brilliant ones. Remember the stink bomb?"

And the two friend found themselves trapped into memories.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Do you know when they get back?"

"Umm...James and Lily should be back sometime during next week, since I don't know where Wormtail is, I can't tell when he's going to be back. And you'll never know with Padfoot either. He was supposed to be back days ago, but as you can see, he's not."

"Maybe he found a girl in Rome." Buffy said, her thoughts drifting away to Sirius.

'I wonder what he looks like. Remus looks pretty much the same, except that he's taller, and more well-built. Kinda cute, actually.'

Buffy started to think about how a nineteen year old Sirius would look if you compared with his eleven-year old self.

'Thick hair, which you just wanna draw your fingers through...deep grey eyes- easy to drown in. Tall, musculare body...' She snapped out of her thoughts.

'Bad Buffy. Bad, bad Buffy."

Buffy started to think about how a nineteen year old Sirius would look if you compared with his eleven-year old self. She snapped out of her thoughts.

Remus looked amused, like he knew exactly what Buffy was thinking, and she found herself blush.

"Sirius?" He smirked.

"Nice weather we have here, huh?" Buffy said, trying to change the subject.

Remus raised an eyebrow, and looked up at the sky in London, covered in heavy, dark, grey clouds. In that second, it started to rain.

"A girl can dream, can't she?"

Remus smiled.

"About the weather, or Sirius?" Buffy sighed in frustration.

'I'm doomed.'

Buffy stood in front of a mirror in Remus' house. He had offered her a place to stay, until she found something else.

"Today is the day..." she murmured.

Yes, today was today. James and Lily had sent Remus a letter, which said they would arrive by muggle-airplane Monday the 14th. Which was today.

"Ready?" Remus stuck in his head.

Buffy nodded nervously. Her mouth was so dry, and she couldn't say a word. During the week she'd stayed here, she had talked quite often. And a lot. And in a very...American way.

It was amusing to see how she suddenly stopped.

"Since you can't apparate, and I don't have a portkey, we have to take the bus."

Buffy nodded again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Fifteen minutes, and a horrible ride on a purple triple-decker bus, they were in front of the gates to the airport.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Buffy said, and Remus looked at her in sympathy.

"Yes, that bus has that affect on people. I'm surprised you haven't thrown up already."

Buffy gave him an evil glare.

"One more word, and I'll strangle you to death."

Remus sighed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"There they are!" Remus said, and waved at a beautiful red-head, and a tall man with messy black hair.

"THAT'S James and Lily? Wow. They've changed a lot." Suddenly, James waved with his wand, hidden behind his sweater, and suddenly a flower beside them changed into a dog. An old lady beside them saw this and shrieked in fear. Lily hit James hard on the arm. Buffy could, thanks to her slayer hearing, hear what she said:

"Don't you have a brain at all?! I can't believe I married you, you thick-headed..."

"...On a second thought, they haven't."

Remus laughed. "That's the couple of James and Lily Potter for you. Ready to surprise them?" Buffy found herself dry in her mouth once again, but nodded.

"Remus!" James waved, and ran up to him, along with Lily, who gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Buffy stood still and quiet like a statue behind Remus, and no one paid her any notice, since James and Remus were talking, obviously about something serious.

Buffy could hear the words 'death eaters', 'Voldemort', 'had to leave early', 'Dumbledore', but wasn't able to make any sense out of it. Suddenly, Buffy noticed her.

"Don't I know you?" She asked, and Buffy smiled. Remus decided to joke, and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Didn't I tell you? This is my girlfriend, she's from America, and...OUCH!" Buffy had hit him hard on the arm, and glared angrily, but when she saw she had hurt him, her eyes softened, and she started to examine his arm carefully.

"Oh God, Remus, IamsosorryIwasn'tthinkingandsometimesIhitfartoohardwithoutthinkingand I'mreallysorryandyou'renotmadareyou'causeIdon'twantyoutobemadand..." Buffy had to stop.

"Okay, oxygen is becoming an issue." Remus smiled, and rubbed his arm.

"It's alright...but, OUCH. You've got quite a fist there, Buffy. Ever thought of..."

"BUFFY?!" James and Lily exclaimed.

"Oops?" Remus tried, when they both turned to him with angry looks.

"You didn't think it was important to tell us that Buffy was back?!" James said.

"We wanted to surprise you, guys." Buffy said. "And I've only been back for a week..."

"A WHOLE WEEK?!" James screamed, then he smiled.

"Get over here, Buffster! I missed you." James embraced her in a tight hug, which Lily joined, and then Remus.

"And again with the oxygen issue," Buffy choked.

When Sirius apparated into his apartment, he sighed. After Lily and James marriage, he had moved out, so as not to disturb them. But he simply refused to move back home. So that's why he lived here, in a shabby apartment in one of the dirtiest areas in muggle London.

He simply threw all his dirty clothes on the floor, too tired to lift his wand and clean them with a swish. He sighed, and sank down on his bed, drifting asleep.

"What are you doing here?'

'Watching. I miss you.'

'You're not really here you know, You left.'

Sirius looked at Buffy's eleven year old self through his own eleven year old eyes.

'Are you sure? What if I'm there when you wake up?'

'You're never there...I've wished it, but...'

'Vengeance demons don't answer men's wishes. At least not the one I met.'

'What are you talking about?'

'Slaying stuff. I'll tell you later, 'kay?'

'Later? When is later?'

'When you wake up. Do you know that this place looks worse than Sunnydale's graveyards?'

'Sunnydale?'

'Forget it. Sirius...'

'Huh?'

'Sirius...'

'I'm here...'

'You're sleeping. Wake up.'

'I'm dreaming...'

'Stop the mumbling, and wake up! You're boring!'

'What?'

'Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you.'

'Huh?'

Sirius was hit by a cold wash of water straight thrown into his face. He sat up, gasping for air, and spitting water.

"James!" James was bent over him, a grin plastered on his face, spinning his wand between his fingers. He smirked.

"You know, I had no idea that water spell we learned in our third year would be so useful."

"Oh, I'm gonna..."

"Gonna what? You can't hurt me, Lils wouldn't let you. Besides, it wasn't my idea."

"Then who's idea was it?" Sirius said, grumpily. "Was it Remus? No, he's too nice. Peter? Wouldn't dare...'

"It was mine." A blonde girl stepped forward. Something in her appearance were familiar, but Sirius couldn't set his fingers on what.

"Why did you do that for? And who are you? You disturbed my sleep..."

"Oh, my." The girl smirked. "I never thought you would be the grumpy, brooding type, Siri."

'Siri?'

Flashback.

"You can't catch me, Siri!" The girl laughed, and ran through the Hogwarts corridors.

"You wanna bet?! I'm sure I can catch you before you reach the hall!"

"I'll take that bet!" The girl sped up, but Sirius managed to catch her, and tickled her furiously.

"I got you!"

"Siri! Stop it! It's tickling! Stop it! Siri!"

End flashback.

"Buffy?"

"So now you remember!"

"BUFFY?!" Sirius got up, and embraced her in a tight hug, and Buffy laughed, before relaxing into his arms.

'This feels so right...'

"How? When?"

"About a week ago."

"Let me look at you." Sirius took in Buffy's appearance. From her feet, to her thin waist, and blue-green eyes.

"You've grown!" He compared her length with his own.

"...Or not." Sirius was sure that even Peter, who was really short, would be at least a half head taller.

Buffy sighed.

"I know, make fun of me. That's fine. I don't mind."

"Don't be fooled by her size, Padfoot," James spoke up. "She's got quite the fist. I think Remus still has a bruise..."

"Self-defense." Buffy shrugged, and Sirius barked out a laugh.

"That's my girl!"

Remus decided to pay back.

"Buffy. You never told me why you burnt down the gym, or how you knew the mayor was going to transform into a snake." Remus said, and four pair of eyes turned to look at him. One pair looked very angry. Suddenly, his ida of revengefelt like a very bad one.

"Oops?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So you burnt down your gym?"

"Uh-hu."

"And...you really blew up the school?"

"Uh-hu."

"And the mayor turned into a demon?"

"Uh-hu."

"And you really blew up the school?"

Buffy gave James and Sirius a look.

"You already asked me that.

"Sorry...it's just...you really blew up the school?"

"Uh-hu." 'Why does it feel like I've already had this conversation?'

James and Sirius gave her identical grins.

"That's our girl!"

"True marauder spirit!"

"James!" Lily said.

"Sorry. Why did you do it?" James asked seriously, and then he muttered under his breath:

"I wish I'd been there..." Lily heard this and gave him an angry glare.

Buffy sighed. 'Time for explanation thingy. I wish Giles was here. He could make this way more easy.'

"I'm the Slayer."

She was met by four empty stares, and blinking, confusing eyes.

"Huh?"


A/N: There, the second chapter up. Hope you liked it! It was a lot of Remus (a lot of Remus is good) and a lot of Buffy, and introduction to the true marauders. If you wonder were Peter is...well, I'm gonna give you one guess. REVIEW! I love much feedback (just as much as I love Remus, and that's saying a lot!)
