Notice: I did not create these characters; I'm just having a little fun. Other warnings and spoiler status is listed in the first chapter.

Authors Note: I'm going on that Angel is Spike's sire from an episode early in the series where Spike crashes Parent Night and calls Angel his Sire. Also Spike does have the chip but if the person is willing Spike can cause pain. There is a more detailed reason of why Spike can hurt Xander but that won't be for a couple of chapters. I've also decided there will be some spoiler's for Angel the series. I am going to pretend Doyle never died. I was so mad about that and now I can do something about it. I have this story outlined to chapter 15. I am hoping to post a chapter every other day at the latest. I will let you get on with the story. Thanks for those who have been reviewing.

Still haven't decided whom to pair Severus with. I'm still leaning toward Xander/Spike/Severus or Severus/Wesley or Willow/Tara/Severus. I started thinking about Willow/Tara/Severus because I vaguely remember 3 being important in some magical circles. I could be wrong I'll have to research it first. I could see Wesley being alum from Hogwarts. I'm also curious what other characters you'd like to see from the Harry Potter universe. I'm open to suggestions.

Not Beta'd yet.


Chapter Three: Xander's Boys

Xander walked across to the boys' room and paused in the doorway to watch them. He wished was an artist because right before him was such a beautiful sight. The boys were sitting at a child-sized table drawing and coloring. Each boy had a snake wrapped around his neck. When the snakes saw Xander enter the room they started hissing and making aggressive stances while still making sure to protect their boys. The boys looked up to see what had the snakes upset and saw Xander. Harry quickly hissed something to both snakes, which calmed them down quickly. Harry ran over to Xander and jumped up causing Xander to fall on to his butt. Xander was careful to not crush or drop Harry when he fell.

"This place is so neat. I bet this is the coolest bedroom in all of America," Harry exclaimed happy. Draco nodded his agreement as he paused in his coloring to watch them. Xander managed to get back to his feet carrying Harry over to the small plush overstuffed couch. Checker (Harry's snake), crawled down and started to slither around the room to check out its home. Harry had already promised the snake that he would leave the lid off the cage allowing Checker's to come and go as he pleases. Draco did the same thing with his snake before standing up and looking envious that Harry was being held by Xander, he was never cuddled like that in his whole life. Xander looked up and sensed what was going through Draco's mind.

"Draco, come sit on my other leg. My lap is big enough for the both of you. Besides, I want to get to know you both and let you get to know me." Draco didn't have to be asked twice, he quickly scrambled up on to Xander's lap. He lays his head on Xander's chest and sucks his thumb slowly. "I want you both to know that I don't believe in anything that Anya said. She is just a selfish twit. I don't want you blaming yourselves for the break-up. I had been planning to break up with her for a long time. Okay?" Xander hugs them to him.

"Um, Xander. I don't know if Dumbledore explained things properly to you, I was way too nervous to listen. You see this age reduction potion did not get rid of the memories from our child and teen years, at least not completely. The headmaster knew that if you said yes we would be on the Hellmouth and nobody, except Draco, Severus, and myself, wanted me here without any memories or magic to protect myself. The compromise reached is that from sunup to sundown we are normal 4 year olds. Meaning that we not only look like 4 year olds but also will behave, think, and only have the memories of 4 year olds. The one drawback is that because did not start from scratch the memories to fill those 4 years are what Draco and I actually went through. So, you will have some trauma to deal with in both of us. Severus was one of the few who thought that part of the compromise was a good thing. The reason being that it is much easier to deal with only a few years of trauma than a lifetime and he hopes that what we are taught during that time will make things easier when become grown again. Anyway, once the sun goes down our bodies stay the same but our minds turn back to those of 18 year olds. After sundown, we are also able to use the full power of our magic thru the wands. For two weeks after it was decided Draco, Severus, and I were trained with spells specific for fighting things that live on a Hellmouth. None of wanted to be a burden to you all, even more so after reading in the American Wizard all the times you have saved the world." Finished Harry looked up Xander a little concerned about his reaction.

Xander is quiet for a few minutes. "Well that is helpful knowing that you will not be a helpless 4 year old when the sun goes down. But please forgive me and the others if even after sundown we still treat you like 4 year olds."

"Personally, I want you to treat me like a 4 year old all the time. I was never allowed to act like one nor was I ever treated like one. Except, Severus, who tried to let me be a true child without my parents finding out," Draco explained. "Which reminds me, the story told to the local preschool is that Harry and I are fraternal twins. Our parents died in tragic car accident and there were no other family members left in Great Britain. You are out father's son from a first marriage. But what should we call you?" His thumb quickly goes back into his mouth.

Xander thought for a moment. "You can call me Uncle Xander or Dad if you want."

Draco's eye light up with and he wrapped his little arms around Xander's neck. "Thank you, Dad".

Harry smiled watching Draco hug Xander and quickly joined in hugging. "I'll call you Dad also. I wanted to thank you for giving us the snakes. I've always wanted one but everyone would say that snakes were for dark wizards only. Even more so in my case people thought it was evil since I spoke the snake language of parseltongue. My snake is a boy called Checkers and Draco's snake is a girl called Vivian. Both snakes have told us that will go with us everywhere. They have already claimed us their young and want to protect us. According to Vivian because both of them have had their family lines living on the Hellmouth for over 3 hundred years each snake born in their lines has magical powers to protect themselves. However, she said that power can be used to protect the humans they adopt."

"That's really interesting Harry. I wasn't the one to get you the snakes. Spike was the on who went through all the trouble of decorating the room perfect and finding the pets for you. Draco, I don't know if anyone told you but Spike is your great great Uncle. The ministry wouldn't let you live with him alone. Anyway, Spike is great guy and you will have fun getting to know no matter what time of day. He'd get along great with the adult and the child in you since they are both active in him. I think that's why I agreed so easily, I have both active in me. I have also always wanted family. And Harry it means so much to me that you're here now. And Draco even though your not blood related to me I still feel like your family."

"Merlin, did I accidentally transport myself into the Hufflepuff common room? I brought dinner up here for the boys and myself to enjoy. Xander, your presence is requested in the dinning room. Don't worry I'll take care of the boys, which is easy enough since there basically just short 18year olds. I need to start helping them practice their want movements in the smaller bodies anyway. So, we will be busy for the rest of the night. I think Spike mentioned something about after dinner taking you on a special door of the how he remolded the basement, said he built something for your use only. So go and let us eat," Severus waved his wand and the trays that were floating behind to the table the boys had been drawing on. Xander sat in shock thinking about what Severus might be hinting at. The boys gave Xander a last hug before dragging him to his feet and pushing him out their bedroom door. Once he is out the door, they close it.

"GO HAVE FUN!" they shout before breaking into giggles. Xander shook his head and headed down stairs to the dinning room. He started smelling something delicious enough to make his mouth water without evening knowing what it is. He looked at himself in the mirror passed and stopped for moment. He straightened his clothing: simple form fitting but well-worn blur jeans with a white tight t-shirt. Both showed off all the muscles he'd gained working in construction. Ran his fingers through his brown hair that now had some natural blonde highlights due to the time spent outdoors. He decides he looks okay enough and walks down stairs.

Spike moved around the smaller second dinning room that was for intimate dinners whereas the other dinning room was more for large gatherings. He had placed candles all over the room on every flat surface that he could reach and was now going around lighting them. Spike then turned off the electrical lights, both in the dining room and kitchen. He nervously looked the table again. There were 3 long elegant white taper candle placed in antique silver holders set on top of a black satin table cloth. Spike had bought a china pattern with a white base and simple black graphic design around the edges in hopes that Xander would one day have dinner with him. The dishes that held the food where covered by silver domes. Spike leans over one and polishes away a spot nervously. The rest of the table is decorated with dark red rose petals. Xander walks into the room just when Spike is thinking of giving up on him coming. Xander stops and stares at the small intimate dinning room and the changes Spike has made to the room.


Xander's PoV-

I have to be dreaming. This just can't be real. I look over to Spike and can tell he is unnerved by my silence. I can read in his eyes that is as just as scared as I feel and for some reason that causes me to relax.

"Spike, this is the most beautiful thing anyone has every done for me. I feel under dressed. I'm afraid that if leave to change when I come back it will all be gone having been just a dream. You have done so much for my family and me and yet I have nothing to give you. Please Spike, is there anything you want? If it is my power I will give it to you." I feel like this a dream and I'm going to wake-up any moment with Anya demanding that I make her orgasm over and over again without allowing me to cum once. I notice that Spike seems speechless for a moment, which has me worried because he is never speechless. "I'm sorry, was this for someone else. Oh god I'm so sorry Spike, I'll just grab a sandwich from the kitchen and get out of your way." I have to get out of this room before I cry. I was so sure that he felt something for me. I turn to flee from the room but a hand on my arm stops me. I turn to look at Spike with tears already in my eyes.

"Oh Xanpet, I've butchered the start of this didn't I. Xander this is all for you. I was speechless because I have dreamed about this moment from the very first time I put eyes on you while Angel was busy offering you as a snack. Even though his soul may not have meant to my demon took that as a gift from its sire. I have monitored you ever since. Yet, every time I would come to town to see you, it was always too late because you would already have a new girlfriend. I never had a sign that you might feel the same. Your cousin, Harry pointed out to me all the little things I had missed. Please, give me a chance to prove to you that even though I may not have a soul like Angel I do love you. Please I will do anything you want. You deserve to be treated like the prince you are Xander. You'll have to help me though Xander, I don't know what appropriate courtship gifts for humans are. My demon longs to give you the heart of every person who has hurt you: Anya, your parents, Buffy, and your last boss. You don't owe me a thing for setting the house up. This is the least I can do for you. Xander, I don't think I've begged and pleaded so much in my life but as I've said before I'm Love Bitch. Please give me a chance." Spike looks like a scared little boy as he spills everything.

I can't stop the tears this time as the start rolling down my face. I'm crying from all the pain I've felt and the hope that it all might finally be at end. I just express what I'm feeling in words. So, I do the only thing that will give Spike a hint of what I'm feeling. I reach out and grab a hold of Spike's chin while leaning down I press my lips to his. The second our lips touch; I feel electricity shoot through like nothing I've ever felt. I let one hand be tangled in Spike's hair, which surprisingly is still so soft even after all the bleach jobs. I pull my other arm around his waist and press our bodies together. Desire shoots through me so intense that our hips beginning rubbing against each other. I let a needful whimper out. I slip my tongue into his mouth and slowly rubbing against his fang. Spike tightens his grip on me as he whimpers against my mouth. I slice my tongue against his fang and feel Spike slowly drink from me. After taking a few drops of my blood, he rips his head away and lets out a growl before resting his forehead against mine.

"Xanpet, you are unbelievable. I've never tasted anything like that before. Slayer's blood cannot even compete with how you taste. You weren't kidding when you called yourself a Nummy Treat." I blush at his words but I get a brilliant idea.

"Spike, I would do anything in my power to make your existence easier. I know someone who works as a lab tech for the blood bank. Would you let me give you a pint of my blood a week? Please Spike, you are doing so much for my cousin and me. I know how bad it is for you not to get human blood, besides the taste factor." He looks at me surprised. "Yes, Spike when I started falling for you I started doing research. No one ever bothered to check to see what I was reading. I know how dangerous it can be for vampires to go without human blood for long periods of time. Actually now that I think about you if I call in favor you will only have to drink a small amount of pig blood." I lean forward and rub my cheek against his. "Please Spike; let me do this for you."

"Xanpet, I don't know what to say. I've never had a lover take care of me before but I'm willing to let you as long as you let me take care of you too. You are something very special." Spike places a kiss gently against my lips before taking my hand and leads me over to a single chair. He sits down first and then pulls me down onto his lap. I relax into him and rest my head against his shoulder. He opens up one the silver lids. I look down to see some type of chicken. I look to Spike for explanation. "This is Tequila-Marinated Chicken with Mexican Mole Sauce, pet. I picked this because mole sauce is made with chocolate. I know how much you love chocolate."

"Thank you, Spike." I lean up and place kisses down his cheekbone until I reach his mouth. He kisses me back for a few moments before pulling back.

"Enough, pet, you need to eat before it gets cold. Besides I have a special dessert for you." Spike then starts cutting up the chicken and feeds me piece by piece. Every so often, he would give me a drink of white wine. I sigh happily. This is amazing, I'm sitting cuddled on my lovers lap while he feeds me forkful after forkful of food he had made just for me. There is an arm around my waist where he lets a few fingers slip under the bottom of my shirt. He slowly strokes the skin along my side. Soon, too soon for me the food is gone. I don't want to move, ever.

"You ready for dessert, Xan?" I flash Spike smile and nod against his shoulder. Spike opens up another lid to show him the dessert. "This is Spanish Coffee and Fudge Sundae." I look and the dessert and then up at Spike. I hug him even tighter and kiss him deeply before tearing into the dessert. I do give Spike a couple bites. I quickly finish the dessert.

"Oh pet you have something on your face." Spike leans in and licks around my mouth before slipping is tongue in. I shiver against him as our tongues slowly begin rubbing against each other.

After a few moments Spike stands up and picks me up in his arms as I place my arms around his necks, he has one arm around my waist and the other under my knees. He carries me up stairs and into my bedroom. He sets me down on my feet before kissing me gently. "Goodnight, my Xander. It seems like we are moving fast. I want to slow down and court you right."

"Goodnight, Spike. This night was more than I could hope for." I reach out and squeeze his hand before he walks out of my room shutting the door behind him. I fall back on the bed with a huge grin on my face.

Please review. I do understand how authors say that reviews help them write faster. Also does anyone have anything they would love to see in the courting of Xander? Below is the song I felt fit Spike and Xander's starting relationship. Also below are the two recipes mentioned.

For some reason this song reminds me of Spike and what his been through. I could see Xander needing to say some of this stuff to him.


Promise

Written: Eve 6

Preformed: Eve 6

Sleeping through the evening singing dreams inside my head

I'm heading out

I've got some ins who say they care and the just might

I runaway with you if things don't go as planned

Planning big could be a gamble

I've already rolled the dice

I spit and stutter stuff and clutter worries in my worried corner

Maladjusted just untrusted rusted sometimes brilliant busted thoughts

Think I'll stay for a while I'm intrigued and

I'm red as a newborn white as a corpse

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind

Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine

Promise not to lie if I'm looking your straight in the eye

Promise not try to not let you down

I am elated

I am all smiles and dated in my man bites dog town with a Spanish name

I am all bone

I am two tone red as a newborn white as a corpse

I promise not to try and fuck with your mind

Promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine

Promise not to lie if I'm looking your straight in the eye

Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outside

Just want to let you know that I'm still a fan, get it?

Everybody wants charm and a smile and a promise

I promise not to try

I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind

Promise not mind if you go your way and I go mine

Promise not lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye

I promise not to try

not to

not to leave

Here are the recipes from this chapter:

Tequila-Marinated Chicken with Mexican Mole Sauce

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002

Ingredients
1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup tequila
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 large tomatoes (1 1/4 pounds)
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
10 cloves garlic, unpeeled
10 ancho chiles, (3 ounces), stem removed and seeded (reserve seeds)
5 guajillo chiles, (1 1/2 ounces), stem removed and seeded (reserve seeds)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 stick cinnamon, about 2 inches long
4 whole cloves

1/4 cup fresh Mexican oregano leaves, or 2 teaspoons dried
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, or 2 teaspoons dried
1/4 cup shelled and skinned almond, roasted
1/4 cup shelled peanuts, roasted
1/4 cup raisins
2 to 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, hot (plus a little more if necessary)
4 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ounces (2 tablets) Mexican chocolate, chopped
1 (14-ounce) can tomato puree
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Fresh tortillas, for serving

Place chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the tequila, lime juice, garlic, cilantro and brown sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over chicken pieces and seal the bag, trying to release as much air as possible. Refrigerate the chicken for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.

While the chicken is marinating, make the sauce.

Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet and broil until slightly caramelized around the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the garlic to a small plate to cool. Using a spatula or large spoon, turn the tomatoes and onions so that the uncooked sides are up. Return to the broiler until slightly caramelized on the second side, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. In a large skillet over high heat, toast the chiles on all sides until lightly browned and fragrant. Do not allow to burn. Transfer to a medium bowl, cover with hot water and allow to sit until softened, about 30 minutes. In the same skillet, combine the sesame seeds and reserved chile seeds and toast until light brown and fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Add the peppercorns, cinnamon stick, cloves, oregano and thyme to the hot skillet and "toast" for a few seconds, just until their perfume is released. Transfer to the bowl with the sesame seeds.

When cool enough to handle, peel the garlic cloves and add these, along with the charred tomatoes and onion, to the bowl of a food processor. Add the seeds and spices. Drain the liquid off of the chiles and add these to the processor as well. Add the roasted nuts and raisins, and 1 cup of the chicken stock and puree the mixture until very smooth and thick, scraping down the sides of the blender frequently.

In a large deep pot, heat 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil until very hot. Carefully pour the pureed mixture into the pot (be careful ? it will splatter) and bring the mixture to a boil. Lower the heat so that the mixture simmers, and add 3 1/2 ounces of the chocolate to the pot. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 hour, or until the mole paste is very thick and flavorful. At this point you should have about 3 1/2 cups of mole paste. Reserve 1 cup to make the Mole sauce, and reserve the remaining paste for another use. The mole paste will keep for at least 6 months, refrigerated, or up to 1 year if frozen.

Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees F.

To make the sauce, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the tomato puree and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cup of reserved mole paste and the remaining 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and stir to combine well. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture is a nice sauce consistency. Add the remaining 1/2-ounce of Mexican chocolate and the salt and cook another 2 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is thick, smooth and flavorful. Keep warm while you cook the chicken.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the chicken pieces on the baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is charred in places. Turn the chicken and continue to broil for an additional 5 minutes, or until the second side is charred. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and continue to cook the chicken until the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes.

Serve the chicken immediately, with some of the mole sauce spooned over the top, garnished with some of the chopped cilantro. Pass tortillas at the table.
