Ok everyone, so this is my next story. Entitled UNTIL IT SLEEPS. Named
after the Metallica song. Below are the lyrics that I think go for the hole
story... no I haven't written it all but yeah.. where I am going with this.
Please read and review and enjoy thanks.
Disclaimer: Buffyverse belongs to Joss. Potterverse belongs to Rowling. This song and title belong to Metallica. And they all rock.
This takes place in Harry Potter year 7 and a year after Buffy season 7... so as you can tell this goes in my direction.
Summary of last story: Alexa Conners is a potential who has run away to London after finding her family brutally murdered. When there she bumps into Harry Potter who discovers she is a witch. She is enrolled in Hogwarts not knowing that she is now a Slayer after Willow's activation spell. At Hogwarts, she has her up and downs with Harry and the Gryffindors and escpecially Draco who she is with but breaks up with after she thinks Draco is with Dawn who shows up half way through. He isn't though because Draco has discovered a horrible secret about himself one that he is afraid to tell Alexa. She meets the new professor who is Spike, now human and tells her she is a Slayer. Eventually she meets Buffy who rescues her after Voldemort kidnaps her and tortures her when she refuses to join their side. Then Alexa discovers that there is a prophecy stating she must die in order to bring around two warriors to save the world .and she has to accept it. After she becomes a spy and pretends she is Voldemort's servant. Her friends turn against her thinking she is evil and this is when she catches Dawn and Draco. Then She does accept her prophecy but no one else will(The scoobies, Harry, who knows.) and try to stop her when a battle with Voldemort happens and they think that she'll die there. She ends up escaping by apparating inside Hogwarts.... It was possible that one time.... Then Lucius Malfoy ends up sending the killing curse at her while she is trying to save Draco. At the same time, she ends up killing Lucius. The curse doesn't kill her right away though, she has enough time to make up with Draco and say good bye but then she does die, leaving letters for all her friends, telling them she is fine with this. Will everyone else be able to go on though?
The prophecy?: 2 warriors will rise, a special pair,
And in them a power you will find so rare.
This shall only happen when the Slayer witch dies
For she is the key for the two to rise.
Short summary of this story: Someone pulls a Buffy but what's a Buffy? But they aren't the only one. Meet the prophesized two warriors and a special guest one brought with them.2nd in a series right after Keep Me Safe. Might want to read that one first.

Where do I take this pain of mine
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open and pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps
I Don't want it want it want it want it want it
No
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me 'til I'm clean
I'll tear thee open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps

180 days. That's how long it had been since Alexa Lynne Conners had died. In three days, he would be returning to Hogwarts for his final year and as head boy. But that didn't seem to matter. In four days it would have been her 17th birthday. But never again would she celebrate her birthday.
He had never missed anyone or anything so much before in his life. Her face her body, fighting with her, being near her. He loved her temper, the way she'd flare up then just as easily calm down. It was worse then his. He loved her weird Canadian slang, her accent, and her eyes. He loved getting lost in her eyes, he could see everything in them. He was always fascinated by how they changed colour, going from dark brown to hazel, depending on her mood. He missed her trademark half smile. The way one corner of her mouth would lift and you would be comforted by it. You knew everything would be okay. Most of all, he missed her. Just being around her would make his day.
It was because of her he had found his place in life. He had been set straight. He felt so lost before she showed up, but then, one day, she breezed into his life and from that moment, he was hooked. She was all he could think about, no matter how hard he tried to push her away, she wouldn't leave and he gave in content to have her near.
The war with Voldemort still raged on and sometimes he felt her death was in vain. Voldemort still lived but she didn't. But she had killed Lucius Malfoy. Voldemort's most faithful servant. He had watched the whole ting. Watched as Lucius threw the killing curse at her and watched as she cut off his head. When the light hit her, he had never felt so scared but a moment later, she was still standing, commenting that it tickled. Lucius had died and then she had turned to him and crumpled to the ground.
He held her as she stared up at him and had begged her to hold on, had even joked about being the girl who lived but she had told him this had to happen, it was her destiny.
She had told him how much she loved him. They had broken up a month before over a miscommunication but they had resolved it there. He had her back now but he was going to lose her soon. He had started crying.
She begged him to let her go and he did with a kiss.
"I love you." She had whispered.
"I love you too."
"I know." She had replied with one last half smile and her last breath.
She had closed her eyes for the last time and he had never felt so alone.
Never again would he be bothered by Lucius Malfoy. He was dead by the hand of Alexa who only wanted to protect him but it was a high price to pay. Never again would Draco Malfoy look into the beautiful shining face of Alexa Conners.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"Oi, Mini-me, you plan on coming out of there anytime soon?"
Draco was shook from his thoughts by Spike, pounding on the door to the bathroom.
"Hold your horses." He grumbled, opening the door.
"Buffy's taking Nibblet down to Diagon Alley, you going?"
Draco shrugged. "I guess."
"They're leaving in an hour, Mini-me." Spike told him, stepping around him into the bathroom."
"Fine, but please don't call me that again."
"well since you said please...Nope, sorry." He grinned and closed the door, leaving a growling Draco outside.
"Let me guess, he called you Mini-me?" Buffy asked with a smile as she walked past him.
"What else is new?" Draco muttered.
"You coming with?" She asked.
"I have to go somewhere fist. I'll apparate there and meet you outside of Flourish and Blotts in two hours."
Buffy stopped. "Draco, you've been going there a lot. Do you think she'd want that for you?"
"It makes me feel better."
Buffy sighed. "Okay, just don't stay too long."
He nodded and walked back to his room, only to have Dawn barging in with a letter.
"I need you're owl."
"My, my, aren't we good with the manners."
She stuck her tongue out at him. "Sorry, may I please borrow your owl, I want to send a letter to Seamus." Her voice was dripping with politeness.
"She's out hunting but if you leave it here, I'll make sure to send it along." He replied with an evil grin.
"Yeah right." She snorted. "You'll be reading it the moment I am gone. I'll send it when we get back. You are coming, right?"
He nodded and Dawn smiled as she swept out of the room.
The whole summer had been like this, not that he was about to complain. He was much happier with the new living arrangements. Spike and Buffy had stepped forward as his legal guardians last March. In fact they had given him the papers the day of Alexa's ceremony. They were planning on taken Alexa too but now that would never happen.
Draco had immediately accepted their offer but at first it was made difficult because of his mother. Then she had taken off into parts unknown and Draco never heard from her. So now, technically he was a Summers, as Spike's last name didn't really count.. He no longer wanted to be a Malfoy, could not stand the name and therefore planned to go as Draco Summers, no matter how odd it sounded. Buffy had asked him why he didn't want to keep his name and Draco had come out with the ugly truth. The one only Dawn knew. He had begged Buffy and Spike not to tell a soul and they didn't they didn't even judge him for it. You see, it was the same secret Draco had been holding back from Alexa. One he was going to tell her right before she died but she had said it didn't matter. Draco really wasn't a Malfoy. Lucius wasn't really his father. As a baby, Draco was given potion. It helped him to permanatly look more like Lucius and another potion to give him his strength. He was supposed to become their warrior. The Death Eaters warrior. That's what Draco was born for. He was an experiment baby and the potion was irreversible. He didn't care, he really had no problem with his looks or his strength. As long as he didn't look like his real father, he was happy. It made him feel sick to think what those bastards did to him. Not as sick as when he thought who his real father was. That always made him shudder. No one knew that part and no one ever would. The one person he would've told was gone.
Currently, they were staying in London at a place they had bought through the council. Only leaving occasionally to check up on Slayer's or find new ones.
As soon as school had ended, he had got his apparating lisensce, having turned 17 in May. He had also taught Dawn to apparate, who got her lisensce as well. She was a natural and when he had commented on it, She had told him about being the key. Draco thought it was pretty neat and said that this made her pretty powerful but she was no where as powerful as Alexa was.
He would go travelling with the Scooby Gang, sometimes going on the plane, which he thought was the coolest at first until he got really sick but other times he would apparate or take the Floo network if one was set up. Sometimes, Dawn would join him, one of those times being when they had gone to California. Dawn had them apparate to Sunnydale, sorry, the big crater formerly known as Sunnydale. Then they went to Wolfram and Hart in LA. He was a little scared at first, meeting Angel. He was taught all about Angelus but then again Spike was just as bad back in the day and he wasn't all that bad. Draco just pushed aside the fact that Spike was now human and Angel was still a vampire.
But when they weren't travelling, Draco was content to sty home, in his room. He enjoyed being home with his thoughts of Alexa and Kat, the owl she had left him when she.... Died.
Draco knew that everyone worried about him. He had even received letters from Hermione and Ginny, wondering how he was. He was surprised at first but he replied and had kept in contact with them all summer. They weren't so bad and he was thankful to Alexa for showing him that, just like she showed him so many other things. His life was better. He only wished she was here to share it.
Leaving his room, he quickly popped into the living room saying he was leaving and would meet them later. Then with a loud crack, ha apparated into Hogsmeade and went to the cemetary. Following a path he could find in his sleep, he knelt down, tracing the letters on the headstone.

She gave her life to do the right thing.
"It's me again." He whispered. "I'll be going back to school soon so I don't know how often I can sneak out but I'll try. I don't know how I'm going to get through this year without you. I don't know what I'm going to do. I miss you so much. I just wish you were here."
Draco silently bowed his head.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"I feel bad."
"I still can't believe you went out with a Malfoy."
The Blonde teen turned to the black haired man talking to her. "He's not really a Malfoy though. You heard the convo with Buffy. Lucius wasn't his father. I still don't know who was. I wonder if he does. But all that crap he went through as a baby, it makes me want to find Voldemort and kick his ass."
She gave a sheepish smile off his reprimanding glare.
"Butt, I meant butt. But why can't you believe I went out with him?"
"Malfoy's, even if you are raised as one, are evil."
"But people can change. I know all about you're family bucko and look how different you are."
The man shrugged. "But I know Draco's been harrasing Harry non-stop. I watched as he beat Harry up last year."
"But what would you do if some guy kissed your girlfriend?" She asked with a raised brow.
"Well I'd beat the crap- hmmm point taken." He said with a small smile.
The blonde turned back to Draco. "I just wish there was someway to let him know, let everyone know, it's alright. I'm happy here with you."
The man shrugged. "I'm sure they all know. I believe they do. Come, we need to get going."
"I can't stay until he leaves?" She asked.
"Sorry but we really need to be going."
She sighed. "I know." She turned to leave.
"It's been 6 months, why are you the only person I've seen? Where's my family?"
The man became nervous. "I-I don't know how it works, I'm sorry."
"I know." She smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Where to know?"
"London?"
"Sounds good to me."
The two disappeared.
