A/N: Everything explained! Don't you love it when everything suddenly becomes clear? I do.

I thank you all for the wonderful reviews I got. To everyone who guessed, you all get a cookie or a gun, whichever you want.

Just Me: The first is rcaqua's 'Once upon a time' Right?

spikes-storm: Thanks for sticking with this story, I hope you'll like it.

manticore-gurl071134: Go ahead. Just tell me the URL, ok?

Unfortunately, this is the last rapid update. Next update will probably be in 6-8 days, though it might be a bit sooner. However, after this chapter, all chapters will be quite a bit longer, I suspect.

Please neglect the fact that the Half-Blood Prince is released pre summer 2003. Please.

Anyway, off we go. Watch the characters, round and round they go...

June 18th, 2003

The Hyperion, LA, The USA, North America, Earth, The Milky Way, The Buffy Universe.

Buffy stood in the lobby of the Hyperion, with all of the newly activated potentials, along with the Scooby gang and AI crew. Given that the battle with the army of Ubervamps had gone faster than they had expected, there were very few people who had gotten seriously injured, most of the slayers had barely been scratched. Normally, Buffy would have been glad, but in fact, she was feeling worse than she had ever felt, except maybe right after being resurrected and clawing out of her coffin.

Because she now had to explain her life, in full, and truthfully. She had to explain how she'd single-handedly beaten all the Ubervamps, then closed down the Hellmouth and turned Sunnydale into a large crater. It wouldn't be easy.

But thankfully, she would not have to go into detail about where she had learned to do what she did, cause they already knew. Because her life, and that of her two of her best friends were chronicled in a hugely successful series of books. Which would be good and fine if the books had been biographies, but they were 'works of fiction'.

"So Buffy," Willow said, "what happened? Or, more to the point, how did you do what you did, cuz we already got the lowdown on what happened from those who were there?"

Buffy took a deep breath, then slowly let it out. She was ready for this. She hoped.

"Well, what I did there were examples of things that I learnt during the time I was 11 through till the summer I turned 15." Buffy paused. "I think it would be easier if I just showed you, actually."

She turned to Dawn.

"Dawnie, could you go and get your set of the Harry Potter books? I know you brought them,you had them on the bus. Also, could you get my suitcase? You know, the one with all the locks."

Dawn's eyes widened in confusion. It was a well known fact that Buffy would not touch the Harry Potter books, yet here she was asking for them in a use in an explanation? Weird.

"Please Dawn. It'll make sense soon."

Dawn left the room, and came back about two minutes later holding the six books of the Harry Potter series, and Buffy's suitcase. Her copies of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone(A/N: I live in Canada, where we call it by its British name, Philosopher's Stone), the Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order of the Phoenix, and The Half-Blood Prince were all well torn and ripped from the trip on the bus, and from all the abuse they'd gotten over the years.

Buffy took the books and her suitcase from Dawn, despite the looks she got from almost everyone present. She opened the first book to page 41,(not sure, just guessing, haven't got a copy on hand) and read to her suitcase "a girl with bushy brown hair."(once again, just guessing)

Then, she pulled out a knife, pierced her right index finger, and let a drop of blood fall on the red circle on her suitcase.

"Reveal the truth of light, that it may outshine all others." She said. And she waited.

About fifteen seconds later, the name engraved into the metal plaque below the circle changed. Where it had once said Buffy Summers, it wavered, letters switching position and changing into...

Hermione Elizabeth Granger.(The middle name is my own creation.)

"Buffy? What on Ea..." Giles was very confused.

"Now, I can explain." Buffy interrupted plainly.

"Everything you know about my past is a lie. I was not born in Los Angeles. In fact, I was not born in this country. Heck, I wasn't even born in this dimension! I was born in London, England, in a Dimension that, in this dimension is fictional. I lived for 10 years as a normal girl, then got this letter to a magic school, and whabbam! My life changes. And if you want to know about it, you can read these books, that I really don't like, cause its all about Harry, and I'm the bookworm know-it-all friend who I tried to distance myself from when Drake brought me here!"

By this time, Buffy was going into a babble that rivalled any Willow had ever done. Everyone was trying to digest what Buffy had just told them, but Faith caught something that it seemed noone else had.

"Umm, Buffy, who's Drake?"

"Oh crap. I so did not mean to say that."

Far, far away, in a separate sub-dimension, in a nice comfortable chair, logged between two advanced looking computers was a man, looking at a hologram projection of his favorite slayer/witch who had just mentioned his name. He got up, walked to a closet, said "Attire, Fight, with wand and crossbow accessory", then, in his new uniform walked slowly to his modified alien craft, got in, sat down, and set the dials to head to a dimension he had visited not even a standard day before.

That all for now, folks.

Don't try to identify Drake, he's an OC (but not Mary Sue!) Dimension traveller. That's all. Just a powerful OC. All will be explained later.

I may, just may, update tomorrow. Probably not though...

Once again, please review... Tell me what you think of Drake, so far, and, to be honest, I'll even accept flames, but NOONE had better call him a Mary Sue, he is not, and I hate all Mary Sues!

-See y'all later,
