Summary/Time Lines: What if Buffy had always been a witch and lived in England, where she had found out about Slayers before she became one? I'm having Buffy going to Hogwarts with Charlie and Bill and such, but don't worry, everyone else will be added in there. So obviously this is AU because I'm messing with both stories quite a bit, but it should turn out well and make sense. Also if I've got the amount of years that the Weasley children are apart in age and at school wrong I'm very sorry.
Author's Note: Well here's the story. Hope you enjoy. Also please read and review. I'm open for constructive criticism, but please no flames. Also for some of the books, supplies, and things they may be wrong, sorry if they are, but bear with me please. The beginning of this chapter shows Hank different than he is normally supposed to be in the show, but there was a reason I made it this way and you'll find that out later on in the story.
------
Diagon Alley
"Mum! I'm home!" Buffy called flinging the door open.
"Hi honey," her mom said coming into the room, drying her hands on her apron, "Did Charlie get his letter?"
"Yes he did. Mrs. Weasley said we could go with them to Diagon Alley tomorrow."
"That's great."
"They'll be over here tomorrow morning."
Buffy then quickly went up her stairs. Her house was completely unlike the Weasleys. It had 3 levels that were stacked on top of each other. They didn't have that big of a backyard or a barn like the Weasleys did. Buffy flopped onto her bed when she went into her room. She turned on her light and then her radio. The Weird Sisters were playing. Buffy bobbed her head to the music as she read the books and supplies she needed next year. The following was written on the paper in emerald green ink:
The books you will need for this year are:
Standard Book of Spells Volume One by Miranda Goshawk
Potions 101 by Alfred Highlander
Dark Defense Skills by Terrence Garbini
Dangerous and Magical Creatures by Terrence Garbini
The supplies you will need for this year are:
1 pewter cauldron
Dragon hide gloves
Set of vials
Wand
Robes
Quills, ink, and parchment
Buffy then folded up her letter, slid open her dresser drawer and put it inside. She leaned back against her pillow and stared at the ceiling and thought to herself, "In a few weeks I'll be at Hogwarts and not have to worry about.."
But before she could think anymore the door burst open downstairs and she heard her dad's booming voice. He was upset, she could tell. She quickly got up and locked her bedroom door, hoping against hope that her father would not come and yell at her. She went back to her bed, grabbed a blanket, sat down, and pulled it up to her knees; wishing she could disappear. She closed her eyes as she heard him yelling at her mum. Her mum was trying to talk to him, maybe calm him down, but he didn't listen, he just kept on yelling. Then there was a slap and a scream and then silence. Buffy winced and pulled the cover over her head knowing that he had just struck her mother. Just when she thought everything was OK she heard him coming up the stairs.
"Please let him pass by, please, please, please," she whimpered.
His footsteps went past her room. Buffy sighed in relief, but then tensed up. His footsteps stopped and came back to rest in front of her door. Buffy heard him try to open the door and finding the handle locked. He swore loudly and then yelled, "Buffy! Let me in! I need to talk to you!"
Trembling Buffy stood up and unlocked the door. She jumped back as he walked into the room. Buffy looked up at him and saw how mad he looked. His face was red with a twinge of purple. His brown hair was messed up and sticking up all over the place. His tie was loose and he had his sleeves rolled up. She quickly looked down when he looked her in the eye.
"Hello daddy," she muttered.
"And what did you do today?" he spat, not even muttering a greeting.
"I got my letter and went over to Charlie's."
"What letter?"
"The one for Hogwarts."
Buffy gasped, knowing she couldn't take what she just said back. She looked up at her father, he seemed even more furious then before.
"How many times have I told you and your mother not to mention that rubbish in my house?" he growled raising his hand up into the air.
"I..we..I.." Buffy managed.
Hank glowered at his daughter. He smirked and quickly frowned. How could he have not known there was something different, something..wrong..about Joyce when he first met her? He should've never married her, and then he wouldn't have this..tainted blood brat..for a daughter.
"I-I-I'm sorry daddy," Buffy said quickly.
"No you're not! Witch!" he cried smacking her across the face.
Buffy fell onto her bed with a scream, knowing that her mum and possibly the whole neighborhood could hear her screams and her father's yelling, ranting, and raving.
------
Charlie, Bill and his mum walked up to the Summers' at about 10 am the next day. Mrs. Weasley knocked on the door while Charlie and Bill stood behind her. A few moments later Joyce Summers opened the door.
"Good morning," Joyce greeted them, "Come in."
The three of them walked into the house and sat down at the table.
"Let me go call Buffy."
Mrs. Summers hurried quickly over to stairs and called up, "Buffy! They're here!"
"Be down in a minute mum!" Buffy's voice rang down the stairwell.
Mrs. Summers walked back over to the table, "Molly, boys? Would you like anything to drink?"
There was a chorus of "No thanks you"s and then Mrs. Summers said, "Well let me go get my purse."
As she bustled off into the other room Buffy came down the stairs. Charlie stared in shock when he saw the welt that was on her face. He flinched and remembered the screaming and yelling that he heard last night. He tried not to bring attention to her injury by staring. Bill obviously saw it too because he quickly looked away. When Mrs. Weasley saw it she gasped in fright.
"Oh dear. Are you OK? What happened?"
"Oh, I um..tripped and..fell," Buffy stuttered.
"Oh..OK," Mrs. Weasley said, sounding unconvinced, "Let me clear that up for you."
Mrs. Weasley flicked her wand and muttered, "Recedo." Buffy's welt immediately disappeared.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley," Buffy said.
"No problem."
"Are we ready to go?" Joyce asked walking into the room.
Everyone nodded and walked over to the fireplace. Molly pulled out a bag of green powder. She threw it into the fireplace and a plume of green fire shot up. As it crackled Bill walked into it and shouted "Leaky Cauldron!" He then quickly took off in a plume of swirling smoke. The other four then did exactly as Bill did.
------
After all of them landed in the Leaky Cauldron they headed out back to a brick wall. Mrs. Weasley took out her wand and tapped the bricks. When she was done she stood back and they all watched the bricks move apart. Charlie and Buffy gasped when they saw the twisting brick road lined with shops and vendors.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley," Molly stated, smiling at Buffy and Charlie's faces.
Buffy and Charlie quickly took off down the winding road. Bill stood there for a moment and quickly went loping after them. Molly opened her mouth to call them back, but Joyce stopped her, "They'll be back in a few minutes, once they realize they don't have any money."
A few seconds later Buffy stopped them, "Uh, guys. We don't have any money."
Bill and Charlie looked at her for a moment and then all three of them ran back to Molly and Joyce.
"Mum, we kinda need money," Buffy stated bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"We have to go to Gringotts," Mrs. Summers replied.
With that they all headed off to the white towering wizard bank. While walking up the white marbled staircase Buffy spotted two goblins standing guard in front of the giant doors leading into the building. Bill prodded Buffy in the side and made an 'it's-not-polite-to-stare' face. Buffy quickly looked at his face and nodded. She quickly looked away from the goblins, but couldn't help sparing a second glance. One of the long nosed creatures gave her a sly grin which made her look away again, refusing to look anywhere but in front of her. When they got inside the building there were rows of goblins sitting behind desks. Mrs. Wealsey and Mrs. Summers went up to a desk.
"We need to get to vault 516 and," she paused and looked at Joyce.
"Vault 520," Mrs. Summers supplied.
The goblin nodded, turned around and called, "Hermtek!"
An other goblin immediately emerged from a door and walked up to them. He made a gesture for them to follow him. They followed him to a cart. They all got in and Hermtek started the cart. They were then whizzing down the corridors of vaults. Suddenly they stopped.
"Vault 516!" Hermtek called.
Mrs. Weasley and Hermtek got out of the cart while the rest waited. Molly handed Hermtek the key to the vault. Hermtek opened the vault and Mrs. Weasley scooped out almost the whole vault, as they didn't have much money. Sighing she headed back to the cart. When they got to the Summers' vault Mrs. Summers did the same. As soon as they were done in Gringotts they headed out into the bright sun.
Blinking back the sun Buffy asked, "Where to now?"
"We should go get your robes," Mrs. Summers answered.
"Tell me what books you need and I'll go get them while Mrs. Summers takes you to get your robes and wands," Mrs. Wealsey said, "Bill you come with me because you already have your robes and your wand. So we'll all meet at the ice cream shop to get something to eat around 12? And then we can continue shopping."
Mrs. Summers nodded and beckoned Charlie and Buffy to follow her. They walked up to a store called Madam Malkins Robes for All Occasions. Mrs. Summers opened the door and they walked in. The store was quiet and dank. There were some people in there already getting their robes fitted. There was a boy with black hair laughing and talking with a girl who had fiery red hair, just like Charlie.
"Oh look, it's the Queen," the redhead sniggered as a girl with long brown hair walked past her.
"Do you mind?" the girl asked flipping her long brown hair, "You're in my light."
The redhead looked at the window she was in front of. She then looked at the boy with the black hair. He then said, "Oh..but we thought you would thank us for blocking you from the sun."
"And why would I thank you?"
"So that way we get sun burn and you don't."
The girl shot daggers at him and walked off in a huff. The redhead was in a fit of giggles and the boy called out, "All hail Queen Cordy!" The redhead composed her self and cried, "Be my deputy?!" With this the redhead and the black haired boy burst into laughter.
Buffy eyed them warily and was about to say something as a woman with big poofy hair walked up to them, "What school?"
"Hogwarts," Joyce replied quickly.
The woman then took out a measurer, with which she measured Buffy and Charlie. She then shuffled off to a corner that was full of robes on hooks. She quickly took some off two different hooks. She brought them over and put them on Buffy and Charlie. She nodded to herself, took the robes off of them and headed over to the counter. Buffy paid for her robes and Charlie paid for his. As they left the store they heard the two kids still laughing.
"Let's go get your wands now," Mrs. Summers said.
They then quickly went off to a store called Olivanders. When they walked in there was an old man sitting behind a desk.
"Hello," he greeted getting out from behind it; "I'm Mr. Olivander."
"We've come to get their wands," Mrs. Summers said.
Mr. Olivander nodded and headed into the stacks of wands. He grabbed a wand case and handed it to Buffy. She took it out and stared at the man.
"Flick it."
Buffy did as she was told and her mum was thrown against the wall. Mr. Olivander grabbed the wand quickly. Shaking his head he grabbed an other one. While he was doing this Mrs. Summers took a seat in one of the chairs. When he came back Buffy took that wand and gave it a wave. With this the legs over the chair her mum was in broke off and she fell to the floor. Mr. Olivander quickly took that one away as well. When he came back with the next on Joyce had braced herself against the wall. Buffy took the wand and waved it. Red and gold sparks shot out of it. Mr. Olivander nodded and went to go find a wand for Charlie. They went through a few wands before they found the correct one. Finally when they did Charlie and Buffy paid for their wands. The three of them then head out of the store to the ice cream shop.
