Buffy kicked the dirt at him angrily and said "You, git, you're not playing it right!"
His bottom lip starting trembling and Buffy automatically fell to the ground next to him and gathered him in her arms "I'm sorry Harry, I didn't mean it, I don't even know what git means, member!"
"Harry what are you doing?" Buffy looked at him strangely as he stood in her backyard with a spade in his hand getting ready to dig.
He smiled brightly at her and said "I read this book and I want to do it too."
Buffy tilted her head and said "Riiighht you read a book and now you're going to dig up my backyard, uh huh."
He laughed and said "No, I am going to dig a hole and then we are going to put things in a shoe box and it will be our time capsule."
Buffy pursed her lips thinking before saying"Cool, I'll go grab a shoe box, you dig."
Harry rolled his eyes and said "Well duh, what did you think I was doing."
This brought forth a giggle from Dawn who was standing near by and she said "You sound like Buffy, Harrreee."
10 minutes later.
Buffy came back down with a shoe box and a couple of other things to see Harry not only finished with a little hole but also him and Dawn holding items in their hands.
Buffy raised an eye brow and said "Oh so now we're including my 2 year old sister in this?"
Dawn looked up noticing the attention on her and let her lip pout like she saw Buffy do. Buffy upon seeing this nearly laughed but instead sighed dramatically and said "Well, guess there is nothing I can d…..What have you guys got to throw in?"
Harry held up the train she gave him and a photo of him and her when they accidentally fell in a mud puddle and her mom thought it was hilarious so took a photo.
Buffy looked at him carefully and said "You sure about the train?"
Harry nodded and said "The book said it had to be important to you, this is important to me."
Buffy smiled and said "Whatever, ok so what have you got Dawnie?"
Dawn held up a Barbie and Buffy rolled her eyes and showed them a photo of Harry and Buffy holding Dawn as a newborn. She then showed them a pressed flower and a charm bracelet Harry had found and given to her. They then took a piece of paper each and wrote something down. Buffy noticed Dawn's was pretty much scribble which was cute not that she would ever tell her that. Buffy took everyone's stuff and put it in the box.
She then put it in the ground and said "Here lies our most precious items, to be dug up again in uh ten years time when I Buffy Anne Summers is 19, Harry James Potter is 16 and Dawn Marie Summers is 12. We hereby cement you to the earth."
Harry solemnly piled the dirt on the shoebox all the while trying not to laugh at the silliness of it all. Buffy stared thoughtfully at the spot slowly filling with dirt.
Buffy ran faster until her lungs felt like they were going to burst. She stopped and waited for Harry to catch before jogging at a slower pace. They got to the little stream quickly, and sat down staring at the water.
Harry stared at her sullen face before saying quietly "Is it bad?"
Buffy shrugged and said "Their just fighting more, it scares me sometimes you know? Dawn's nearly 3 now, I'm her big sister, and my parents fighting scares me, it shouldn't scare me."
Harry sighed and said "Buff, you're only 10; you're allowed to be scared. (He said in a softer voice) You're even allowed to cry."
Buffy bit her lip and said "I'm not supposed to be like this am I?"
11 year old Buffy and 4 year old Dawn were in the backyard on the swing set when 8 year old Harry came carefully through the fence. Dawn smiled brightly and brought Buffy's attention to the Boy by yelling "Harrreee, swing me?" Harry smiled and mumbled a hi to Buffy before going behind Dawn and pushing her. Buffy smiled at her best friend and swung higher.
"Hello Mrs Dursley, Is Harry home? I won't be long, I promise, I just um, I have to talk to him." Mrs Dursley seemed to look a little lost at seeing the 12 year old girl with tear streaks down her face and tears in her eyes threatening to come out. Buffy knew that Mrs Dursley didn't like her, the many times Harry and her and talked about her Aunt, well she knew. The only reason his Aunt even put up with her because she was afraid the neighbours would talk. Buffy saw something flash in her eyes that was akin to sympathy and Buffy felt all her emotion come to the surface again. She pushed past his Aunt and ran to Harry's closet knocked and once it was open threw herself in and into bewildered 9 year olds arms.
Harry held the crying 12 year old gingerly, and not too sure why she was crying. Buffy pulled back, hiccuped and then said "My dad, he got a new job."
Harry smiled and said "That's good isn't it, should I go say congrats?"
Buffy shook her head and said softly "You don't get it Harry, everything is going to change?"
Harry looked at her confused and said "Why?"
Buffy sniffed and looked at his hands before saying "We're going back to America".
Harry looked up startled and said "No but you can't, I I ".
She bit her lip and said "He says we have to, it's a good job, and we can write every week and talk on the phone."
Harry looked down as a tear fell and said "When?"
Buffy bit back a sob and said "3 days".
Harry let out a shout "WHAT!"
Buffy closed her eyes and said "He and mom knew for months but they only told us today. It is so unfair".
Harry hugged her tighter and said "What am I going to do when you're gone, you're my best friend!"
