No more questions? Then on with the story! There will be buffy action here, but I changed my mind about Tara. She did die. But the thing with the nerds still didn't happen. She died of, um, a thing that I can't think of right now. But there is still a W/T pairing, just an HP T instead of a BtVS T. You'll figure it out, and I apologize for any real Tara lovers, myself being one, I just thought that maybe I could go somewhere more with this particular pairing. Don't hurt me please?? A'ight? Right then, on with it!

Chris popped into Harry's room, knowing from the link she had with all of the people that she cared about that Hermione was there and what had happened. That, and she had just escorted the Granger's into heaven the day before. 'Shit!' Thought the young looking goddess angrily. 'Why didn't I keep closer tabs on them! I knew that they were muggles and related to one of Harry's best friends. Why! Why did more innocents have to die because of a power hungry half-muggle hypocrite?' Angry with herself, she stopped and looked around the bedroom, noticing no one on the floor. She smirked and looked to the bed, where Hermione was curled up against Harry's body, and the aforementioned boy had his arms wrapped protectively around Hermione's shoulders. Both bore a slight smile on their faces. 'Aww, I hate to break it up, but if I'm going to take Hermione to see her parents I have to do it now before I think about it too much.' With that, she walked forward, not making a sound.

Chris put a sound-dampening spell on the room so that the Dursleys couldn't hear what was going on in there, if they actually cared. She walked over to the bed and jumped on it, purposely missing the sleeping teens and opting instead to disturb their peace. "WAKE UP!!!!" she yelled, effectively getting them up.

Harry bolted up into a sitting position, bringing Hermione, still in his arms, with him. "What the bloody hell was that for, you bitch?" The boy angrily asked, not appreciating being woken up in such a manner. "We were sleeping!"

"No, really? 'Cuz I thought that you were wide awake, not even knowing how sleep felt," Chris replied sarcastically, causing the Boy- That- Lived to roll his eyes.

"Fine, we're up now. Did you have something that you needed, or was your sole purpose to annoy the sh-"he started, before Hermione interrupted in a softer tone, touching his arm to calm him.

"What he means is, did you want something, Chris?"

"Ahh, that's the tone to get what you want. Hermione, your parents want to see you again, if you wanted to say good-bye. I can bring you up to them for a visit. Well, it's against the rules, but since I'm who I am they have a bit of a soft spot for me and they know my blatant disregard for the rules, so it should be fine. So do you wanna?" Chris asked, finishing the babble that she got into unconsciously.

Hermione giggled a little at the babble and then nodded her head in response to the question, wanting very much to see her parents again. "Can Harry come with me?" She asked, just to see what the response was.

"No, I'm sorry, but only someone in your situation, with freshly dead parents killed by the all great lord" said with a scoff and a cough sounding suspiciously like a laugh, "can come up. Actually, they're not supposed to either, but I'm making an exception because I feel sorry for ya kiddo."

"Hermione turned in Harry's arms and faced him. She whispered, 'I don't know when I'll be back, if the time works differently there or something. I will be back when I can be, though." She brushed her lips against his cheek while Chris looked on in amusement. 'I never saw those two as a couple. She made the right choice between the two that she hangs out with, though. I don't like that red-head.' Harry held her as she was about to leave and kissed her ful on the lips, not wanting to let go now that they had gotten together. "Just be careful," he made her promise. "We lost your parents, I don't want to lose you as well." Her eyes shined with tears as she left his embrace to enter Chris'.

"Hold on tight, chica. Well, it doesn't really matter how tight you hold on, but it sounds cool," Chris started as she teleported them to heaven.

Heaven

Hermione looked down at herself and yelped at what she saw. "Chris, help!" She exclaimed, using her hands to cover herself.

"What?? What's the matter?!" Chris asked, startled by the request.

"I'm not wearing any clothes!" Hermione wailed and looked surprised and angry when Chris started to chuckle. "What, may I ask, is so funny about this? And why are you wearing clothes?" She demanded, looking at the goddess by her side.

"It's always funny to see a mortal's reaction to the 'no clothing' thing. Once you're dead you have a choice of whether or not to wear the white and gold robe that we wear up here, but if you're a human that hasn't died or is currently alive you don't have the option. Your clothes will be returned to you, don't worry. When we go back down. Heck, they'll even be spotless. I have the benefit of the doubt because I am a..." Chris started to explain when a lightning bolt suddenly flew at her.

"Chrios! What do you think you are doing, bringing a human into our midst?" An angry voice demanded, as clouds parted and a tower of golden skin and muscle approached them.

"Ah, Zeus. My favorite little brother. She just lost her parents to Voldywort, you know, the evil wizard, blah blah blah, destroy all muggles? The Granger's, I just brought them in yesterday, sobbing. She never got to say goodbye, and I'm afraid..." Chris took a look at Hermione and switched to a psychic link. 'I'm afraid that she'll try a resurrection spell and endanger everything like the Summers girl did when her mom died."

Zeus nodded in understanding and said, "but it is still against the rules! I don't care if you are my superior, I have to deny entrance!"

Chris thought for a moment and then said, "How about a deal? A fight? If I win, we go in, you don't try anything. Neither does anyone else. If you win, we leave and I bring the ghosts of the Granger's down to see their daughter. No harm done that way, but non-corpeal. Deal?" Chris held out her hand and the two gods shook hands, sealing the bet.

Then they assumed fighting positions and Chris shouted, "BEGIN!" Then it was truly a clash of titans (ok, gods, but titans fit the saying better) as the two fought. Chris had to endure lightning thrown onto her, but her body had changed, gotten tougher. It was solid muscle, but delicate and tall. She looked like she was made of glass, but tough glass. And she was beautiful. She glowed with a golden light like the man she was fighting. Her hair became a perfect mix of blonde and brown, natural looking. The fight waw magnificent. Zeus was obviously losing, even though he was the one armed with weaponry. The fight lasted for about five minutes, three more than either god expected. With a mighty yell, Zeus fell and was defeated. Panting, Chris extended a hand and said good- naturedly, "good fight, brother, but you should know better by now than to challenge me. I always win." Then immediately she summoned a piece of wood and knocked on it, using the old wives tale for luck and the prevention of jinxing what she just said.

With that behind them, Chris and Hermione, Chris back in the body that Hermione recognized, walked through the gates into Heaven and searched for the Granger's. Chris found them and said, "Hey, Hermione? Will you be all right for about an hour while I go visit a friend of mine? She's not very social, and keeps to herself a lot. I just want to pop in and say hey," Chris said, speaking very fast. Hermione saw her parents and waved Chris away as tears came to her eyes, saying that it would be fine. Chris saw the tears and, cursing herself once more for not paying close attention to the muggles, went to find Tara.

She went to the witch's house and knocked on the door. Since Tara was one of the people who opted for no robe most of the time, Chris didn't want to make her feel awkward, so she got rid of her clothing as well. Tara came and saw the goddess who she knew as a friend. They hugged in a place where there was no discrimination, where no one cared if someone was homosexual, or a witch, a place where people could be who they wanted to be. They were in Heaven, not just the place but the feeling. Chris gave Tara a quick kiss on the lips and said, "Hey, you," in a soft voice.

Tara returned the gesture and replied with a, "Hey, yourself. What's up? Are you going to bring me back? How will Willow respond to it? How is everyone doing after I left? I felt the darkness and knew it was Will, but I didn't know how to help, I..." She was cut off from the Willow- worthy babble session by Chris' finger to her lips.

"Shhh, stop being impatient and listen for a moment," Chris said in a voice full of teasing, knowing that the witch had been nothing but patient for the news ever since Chris had run the idea by her. "Listen, I've been keeping an eye on things, or if you rather, a mind, and there's another witch in London, a lesbian. She could help Will control the magic. No offense, Tara, you're great and all, but you have a soft spot for red. Nymphadora Tonks, or as she prefers, just Tonks, is an Auror. She can help Willow and won't back down if Will loses her temper like you did. Tonks is a sweet kid, she can help Wills out. But if you're alive..." Chris didn't want to finish the sentence, so Tara did it for her.

"I-if I'm alive then Willow won't want to be with this Tonks, right? She'll just want to be with me. So you aren't bringing me back?"

"Tara, I want to, trust me, I do, it's just that Will needs help, and Tonks is a wand witch. She and I can get Will a wand and train her to use it. Wands help with control, they require less control over emotion and focus than Wiccan magic does. I can't bring you back now, but I swear, if Willow isn't happy with Tonks after the training is through, you come back. She'll probably think that you're not real, but I can fix that. To the other question, honestly, everyone is afraid of Willow. That was dark mojo that she did, and almost ended the world with. It scared them to see black Will. God, Tara, you're lucky that you didn't see her. Black clothes, stylish, but nothing but black. Her eyes were solid black, her hair, every hair on her body, really, black. Not just like a dark brown, mind, but pure, evil, black. And there were black vein-y markings cut into her face. God, it was terrifying. And I was forbidden to help until she actually started the ritual to end the world, not just raising the temple, so Xander had to stop her." Chris shuddered and Tara pulled her close, hugging her and trying to make her forget her fright and the sight of a loved one risking his life and another in such a state as Willow was.

Chris snuggled into the embrace, wishing that Tara hadn't died so that Willow had stayed calm and in control. She checked the time and realized that she had to get Hermione, then talk to Dumbledore about getting the Scooby's over to England. Buffy would make a good teacher, Giles a good assistant, Anya a good librarian-her knowledge was very impressive if she would stop talking about orgasms all the time-, and the others could do various things. Her plan was to have Tonks and Willow share a room and have Tonks help Will control the magic in her while training her to use a wand in magic so that she gets less addicted. Hopefully they would figure out that they were both lesbians and hook up, but if they weren't happy with each other then Chris would be more than happy to bring Tara back. After Dumbledore made his decision, hopefully yes, she would bring the messages to the Scoobies in America and Willow in England. Then she'd go back to Hogwarts to tell Dumbledore the responses and do a quick sweep of the Forbidden Forest to keep the beasties(the real ones, not the students) at bay then head over to Tonks', get her response, bring it to Dumbledore, then return to-and stay with- Tonks for the night.

With that plan in her mind, she got her clothes, suspiciously shiny, back on and went to find Hermione. She found them and had them all say a tearful good-bye, then brought Hermione, clean and clothed, back to Harry's room and went off to speak to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

"Dumbledore!" Chris shouted, bursting into the office. "I found a Defense against the Dark Arts teacher for you! A Vampire Slayer that has been active for about six years now, living on a Hellmouth in Sunnydale, California, USA. She's awesome and doesn't believe in that whole, 'the slayer is alone and has no friends' crap! She has friends who have been assisting her for her reign and who are cool with the slayer thing. Actually, the whole group could be useful around here. The sister of Buffy, the slayer, is named Dawn, and was recently the Key. Y'know, the one to all dimensions. But we deactivated her, or rather, Glorificus, a goddess, one of the ones from a hell dimension, god I wish she'd never been kicked out" Chris muttered that last part under her breath. "Deactivated her. One of the group was very recently a vengeance demon known as Anyanka, and has been around for over one thousand years! Her knowledge of demons and events is vast, about as vast as yours. Xander Harris is just a human, but he has aided the slayer in more ways than I can count. He could be useful for Muggle Studies. The slayer and her sister's last name is Summers. Then there is a witch who recently lost control of her powers, a Wiccan named Willow Rosenberg. She has a massive power, nearly ended the world. Though Mr. Harris stopped her. I believe with a little training, perhaps from Nymphadora Tonks, she could be a powerful ally. And there is a Mr. Rupert Giles. He is also a wiccan, though not as powerful as Willow. He was a watcher before he was fired for caring about Buffy and would make a good assistant to her. Oh, and there's a vampire named Spike, A.K.A. William the Bloody, but contrary to what you are led to believe, he has a soul now and a chip that prevents him from doing harm to anyone."

Dumbledore wasn't sure what he was more surprised at, the fact that the information given to him was said in one breath or the fact that he understood it. He decided to clarify. "So you are saying that you found a DADA teacher. Don't speak, just nod or shake your head." Chris nodded. "And she is a slayer who has lasted for six years and works with friends?" Another nod. "She has friends that could help, the ex- vengeance demon formerly known as Anyanka, now Anya." nod again. "In addition, there is a muggle with amazing loyalty and bravery, a mister Xander Harris?" Nod. "A Rupert Giles, formerly a Watcher, now an associate slash friend of the slayer and a wiccan, and a wiccan known as Willow Rosenberg, whom recently tried to end the world, powerful witch she is, whom you want trained to a wand by Tonks so that she could be a powerful and less dangerous ally? Last but not least, William the Bloody, one of the Scourge of Europe, who is now ensouled and is good?" Chris nodded to all of the questions. "I see. Do you recommend them?"

"I do, Dumbledore. Buffy and Giles could teach the class, Xander could help with Muggle Studies, Anya could be a source of knowledge in the library. Spike could help Buffy in some of her lessons as well, though he has a bit of a cursing problem. He's met and fought many of the demons that Buffy would have them study, as well as the nicer creatures, plus he would defend Harry with his un-life. Dawn is really too old to be a student, but could perhaps help translate some of the more difficult books and help to weed out some of the less true ones, and Will could learn here, where if she loses control there are magical bindings keeping her here and from harming anyone. Plus she could help keep Harry safe, especially with Tonks here. And in addition, it could help Tonks gain credibility, helping an untrained witch learn. Do you see where I'm going with this?" Chris asked, this time taking breaths between sentences.

"Yes, but by my calculations we are two guest rooms short. Assuming that you will be in the room you have been occupying these past school years?"

"Yes, I will remain in Hogwarts to keep an eye on the terrible trio." They both laughed at the nickname that the staff had given Harry, Ron, and Hermione. "Xander and Anya are in love and will share a room, and I think it best if Tonks and Willow share a room if they are going to be spending so much time together. It may work. If that doesn't work out, I can add another room to the Gryffindor common room and stay there, giving Will or Tonks a room alone." Dumbledore saw something in the girl's eye, but couldn't place it.

So he asked, "What are you planning, Chris?" Getting a nothing in reply, he sat back and wrote letters requesting the assistance of the Scoobies, much to the goddess' pleasure. As soon as he finished, she took them with the promise of immediate delivery and teleported out, to Dumbledore's surprise. Although he had seen it many times, it still surprised him that someone could get out of Hogwarts in a way that wasn't walking or flying. The powers of this girl were immense, that was for sure. Now if only someone besides she herself understood them.

The Summer's House, Sunnydale, CA

"Yo, everybody!! Chris shouted as she arrived, knowing that they all took a day off for quality together time and were chilling out in front of the TV. "Hello? Anyone wanna make some cash?" That brought the pack of them, minus Willow who was in England, rushing to her side.

"Watcha got there, Chris?" Xander asked, focusing mainly on the word cash. She flashed them a smile and handed them the letters that had just been written, assuring them all that they were safe. She watched as their faces changed. Anya and Giles recognized at least the name 'Dumbledore', Xander looked shocked, Dawn excited, and Buffy suspicious.

"Ok, what's going on here, Chris? This looks fishy, and I hate fish," Buffy said.

"Woah, whoa, it's a job offer to teach or do other things at a wizarding school called Hogwarts. It's in, um, Scotland, I guess. It's ok, I know all the teachers and it's a good place. They have a big bad and he's threatening the students, so we want you to go there and protect them, as well as teach them, Buff," Chris said. Then she turned to the Xan Man and added, "And we want you to teach the youngsters the finer points of living. TV, junk food, video games, that stuff. They were, for the most part, brought up as wizards, so they know very little about that stuff. The rest would be doing various things." She looked at them and added that she needed their response pretty much then.

They talked it over and decided that they would go. Chris was very excited, though she knew that they would agree, and went to Spike to let him decide. After threatening to eat "the little wizard bits", he agreed as well. Chris was glad that her plan was going well when she went to Willow and told her that she had the chance to be taught control by a different kind of witch, and Willow agreed to go after a slight hesitation.

Chris told their answers to Dumbledore and went into the forest in high spirits, forgetting about Hagrid's pet spiders. One of them attacked her and she fought it off, then another and another, and soon she had to teleport out of the forest and ended up in Tonks' apartment, in her room, as it was fairly late.

Tonks took one look at her and dropped the book she was reading.

"Chris! Love, what happened to you?" She asked, rushing to the girl's side.

"Hello to you to," Chris replied with a small grin.

"Wotcher, of course, now what happened? Here, come sit on the bed, I can magic away the blood on the comforter later. Oh God!" She said when she saw all of the blood, coming from both the girl's shoulder, back, and head, to name a few places. "Will you think that I'm shamelessly flirting if I ask you to take off your shirt?"

"Yeah, but since I know that you aren't, I'll do it anyway. Or better yet, since I can't move my arms, can you do it?" Chris was teasing with the first part, but showed her seriousness in the second by trying and failing to move her arm. She watched Tonks blush as she pulled the blood-caked shirt off to reveal a spaghetti strap tank top underneath, also blood-soaked. She then watched as Tonks peeled this off as well, the blush turning to paleness quickly as the shirt came off, revealing the torn flesh.

Tonks looked on in horror as she saw the blood well up out of the wounds and cover her friend's back. She took out her wand and, in a shaking voice, said, "Reparo!" This closed the wounds most of the way, repairing the worst of the damage and stopping all of the bleeding. The wound on Chris' head was completely closed, since it was very shallow, and all of the minor injuries were healed. She looked on in relief as she saw all of this happening, and when it all looked better, she leaned on Chris' shoulder, sighing in relief as it all looked better.

Chris grabbed her shirts, repaired and cleaned them, put them on, then turned and hugged Tonks, thanking her over and over and explaining that Hagrid's spiders had caught her with a wandering mind and attacked. "One was easy, two harder, then the whole lot of them damn near impossible to beat. They swarmed me and kept catching bits of me. They finally caught up with me and one bit me in the shoulder, another clawed me deeply in the back, and another grazed my head with whatever they use as teeth. I finally got enough sense in me to teleport out of there, and I was going to come here anyway, so I just came." She laughed and said, "If you see Hagrid before me, tell him that if those spiders so much as look at me funny one more time I'm going to set fire to their little nest and burn the little suckers to kingdom come, will you?" It was a joke, and Tonks knew it, so they both started laughing at it.

Now that the catastrophe was over, Chris mentioned that there was a wiccan witch who needed training, and since the other Aurors were busy, maybe Tonks would be willing to teach her how to use a wand. Chris added that she would get to go back to Hogwarts. Tonks agreed, and Chris popped over to Hogwarts long enough to tell Dumbledore that Tonks was in and to threaten Hagrid and his spiders. Then she went back to Tonks' place and snuggled into the bed with her, hugging her from behind. This muggle-born wasn't about to get hurt, Chris was sure of that.

Tara looked down in sadness, watching Chris kiss the back of Tonks' head lightly, holding her in her arms. Tar swore to herself that if this Tonks hurt Willow in any way that wasn't related to her training, she would pay.

ok, that's it for now. I tried to make it longer than the others. Review please??? Oh, before anyone asks, there are some parts in here that you are not really meant to understand, but should be explained right after the confusing part. Anything you wanna say, just review or e-mail. There are may listed up above. And I changed my parings around a lot, so to clear it all up, the pairings so far are Xander/Anya, Willow/Tonks, Buffy/Spike, Giles/no one, Draco/Dawn. And my character never gets attached to anyone in this. Since Buffy is straight with non-slayers and Giles is too old. Right, to clear up something, she can change her age, so she appears to everyone as the age that they would treat equal. To the terrible trio, or dynamic duo, as it will soon be, she's 16. To the Scoobies and Tonks, she's 21 or 22, they're all the same age. 'Cept for Giles. If she's with the whole group of Hogwarts, then she's around 19 or 20. Same with just Dumbledore alone.

The next chapter will bring them all together and will get rid of Weasley.

Peace
