Disclaimer: I thin I put this in the prologue but if I didn't you know the deal own nothing no matter what I wish it all belongs to Joss Mutant Enemy and in this case J.K. Rowling.

A/N: I don't really have anything to say for once so just read and review I still don't have my comp back so don't ask about fortunate accidents though the chapter is finished I will post when my comp returns. So on to making my crossovers first cross.

Chapter 1: Familiar Faces

"Hogwarts is a school located in England. I went there as a teenager as did Ethan, Wesley, and Reamus Lupin, who's nick name is Moony. People who were supposed to be watchers were sent there if they showed specific abilities." He hesitated. Most people went into a comatose state when they learned about the magical world. He didn't think Buffy would being the slayer and all.

"What kind of abilities Giles? What is it that you're not telling me?" They had promised no more secrets, no more lies. He wasn't technically lying just with holding part of the truth.

"Magic abilities Buffy. All children in Great Brittan and some other parts of the world who show magical abilities are sent to Hogwarts at the age of eleven. I was no different. I was sent to Hogwarts and then on to the watchers academy. His face grew grave at the mention of the watchers academy.

"Giles if this is true why didn't Willow or Tara go to a magic school?" It didn't make sense.

"Willow's interest in magic was and is not accepted by her family like Tara's. I'm sure Dumbledore knows that which is why they did not get a Hogwarts letter at least. As far as American schools go I'm afraid I don't know. I expect that the headmasters are as knowledgeable as Dumbledore, or close to, and aware they would not be allowed to go." There was another theory, but Giles didn't want to say it out loud because that meant it really was a possibility.

"O.K. I can deal with the whole magic is real thing, but what does this have to do with you? Why did 'Moony," or Lupin, or whoever call on you?" Buffy was happy that she finally knew where Giles and Wesley had learned all those spells, but calling for help by sending an owl with a note was soooo of the weird. What did that guy mean by help anyway was Buffy the help to be brought?

"I'm a wizard Buffy. I may be you watcher, but first and for most I'm a wizard. I can stop being a watcher, but a wizard? Magic is in my blood, and I can't change that. I expect many wizards are being called to Hogwarts." He actually doubted that but he didn't want to blow his cover until he was safe at Hogwarts.

"We said no more secrets Giles. I know you are keeping something from me. If all else fails well hey I'm a slayer I can whip your butt till you tell me." The last part was more of a tease that a threat, but Giles knew better than to test it all the same.

"I will tell you everything Buffy but once we get to Hogwarts not now. There are things I have to take care of; roundup the gang and get them on the bus. Tell them that you, Willow, and me are going to England, and they should continue to track down the activated slayers. He wrote a quick reply to Lupin and gave it to the jet-black owl telling it her to stay at Hogwarts until he got there.

Buffy returned to the bus fifteen minutes later with the gang. They all looked a bit confused, but Willow was flat out dear in the headlights. She was going to England with Buffy and Giles, and she was scared. Xander was sort of cool nothing really fazed him anymore. Dawn was angry. Buffy was leaving her behind to track down slayers with Xander what luck.

"Maybe we should contact Faith; I mean if Buffy is going Faith should be able to help." Willow was trying to avoid the fact that she was going.

"I will call everyone who can help once we reach Hogwarts, but right now there is no time to lose." Giles got Xander and Dawn to drop them off at the airport. They would be flying from Texas, to Memphis, Tennessee, to New York, to London.

In Memphis Giles ran into two boys, twins, both with flaming red hair. They looked to be about twenty or twenty-one. He apparently knew the boys because they all started to talk very animatedly.

Willow and Buffy stood in the background and waited. After a few minutes Buffy started to tap her foot in a very agitated manner. Remembering his manners Giles turned around and gave the two girls a sheepish smile. They forgave him instantly with matching 1000-watt smiles.

"Ah Buffy, this is Fred and George Weasley. Twins this is Buffy Summers my slayer, and this is Willow Rosenberg witch extraordinaire. I believe I told your father about her. She tried to end the world I took her to the covenant." The twins nodded to Giles and each other in assertion that they had heard of her. Willow blushed when she saw the twins nod.

"So which is Fred and which is George?" Willow was desperate to turn the subject away from her and her magical break down.

"I'm George that is Fred." George told Willow while pointing to his brother, who had engaged in a conversation with Buffy and Giles. "We are absolutely identical though down to the last freckle. People usually refer to us as a unit and the probability that you will ever have to or be able to tell us apart is slim to none we can even fool our mum."

"Sometimes" Piped in Fred. "So you're Willow. Dad did tell us about you, a bit anyway. You had some bad mishaps with magic. Where did you go to school?" Fred asked which seemed like a bizarre swerve of topic.

"Sunnydale High and I just finished up at U.C. Sunnydale." Willow was slightly confused, as Fred seemed to have and odd way of jumping from topic to topic. Fred looked far more confused than Willow was. He turned to Giles since he noticed that there was a lull in conversation between the other three. He had a question in his eyes and Giles realized where the conversation had led.

"She is a self taught witch Fred. She learned from reading my books and helping me with some of the spells that by nature required at least two people to be present. She became fascinated by it and before I could stop her she was on my level." He was still a bit discontent at the fact that he hadn't been able to stop her.

"Wow" George said. "She would have passed up Hermione by leaps and bonds if she went to Hogwarts. Now I get what you meant when you said possibly the most brilliant witch since Rowena Ravenclaw herself." Fred and George just looked at Willow with admiration. They only stopped when Willow had turned from tan to pink to red to flaming to match their hair as well as her own.

"What about Buffy?" Fred asked.

"Muggle" Giles said in a nonchalant tone.

"I'm not sure what that means watcher mine but from the sound of it I must say I'm offended." Buffy gave Giles a glare. He thought for a second and then realized that Buffy wasn't a muggle per say.

"So sorry Buffy. She is my slayer and though she cannot perform magic she has a mystical 'origin' if you will, so not technically a muggle but not a witch." That seemed to satisfy her. Fred and George looked at each other and nodded in approval. They turned to Giles and gave him a mischievous smile. The girls saw a ripperish grin before the twins grabbed them and with a loud –CRACK- all four had disappeared and Giles boarded the plane alone.
