Buffy was sitting in Dumbledore's office waiting for him to enter. She had only got back a few minutes ago having rushed things back in Sunnydale to get back to find out about the key. She knew the possibility was high that it was who she thought it would be but she hoped to god she was wrong.

The problem with the hellmouth is that owls won't go there and so she was had been stuck having to go to LA and get a port key. Although it took her a couple of days to tie up the loose ends, hea and explain to Faith and the gang that they were in more danger if she stayed and that she was only an owlto London away. There was much hugging and a handshake which Buffy turned into a forced hug to Faith before she was on the bus to LA.

Sitting in the office all that was going through her head as the headmaster entered was don't be in Slytherin Don't be in Slytherin. Dumbledore merely nodded at her and she watched as Giles also entered the room and sat next to her while Dumbledore took his seat.

He smiled at her and said "Would you care for a beverage before you tell us how your trip went?" Buffy shook her head and turned to Giles and said "What house were they put in?" Giles looked at her curiously before saying "Slytherin."

Buffy slumped in chair, it was official, it was the only person she could see herself protecting that was a Slytherin twin. She sighed and finally said "I ran into this warehouse thing and there was this monk being beaten by a super powered woman he called the beast." Dumbledore looked very interested at this term and seemed to lean forward a bit which made her a little suspicious. However she choose to ignore it and continued " So I went to work saving him and got pretty beat up, one of the other reasons it took me a few days to get back. I ended up grabbing the monk, chair and all and flung us out of the window. Turned out the damage we did the building caused it to cave in but from the way the monk talked I don't think that would have killed her."

Giles had the worried look in his eyes and she took a deep breath to calm herself before saying "What I say next can not leave this room, they can't know, no one else can know, I mean no one. Can you give me your word on this?" She looked them both in the eyes with a serious look, at their nods and agreements she took another deep breath. She said slowly and with a steady voice "As the Monk was dying he told me that this key was made human and sent to me, that it was the Slytherin twin and I need to protect him from the beast or she will get it and he will die. You know who this means don't you?"

The two men nodded their heads and the headmaster for one of the few times in his life was shocked.

Buffy turned to him and said "I saw your look when I said the beast, what do you know?" Dumbledore held his hands together and said softly "What I know, I have learnt from various sources but it isn't good news. I didnt even think it was true until you tale was over. There was this dimension that held 3 of the most vicious gods you could ever meet.

One of them was cruellest of the 3 wanted to spread out and overtake more dimensions but the other two thought this was a foolish plan. She got mad and started a war against her brothers but they joined forces and threw her out of their dimension and placed her into a different dimension where she had weaknesses. I don't know what the weaknesses are but the name that she was refered to were, Glory, Glorificus or the Beast.

If she gets this key it states that the dimensions will bleed into each other and until the blood stops flowing hell will befall that dimension. The only way to stop the blood is of course death. This didn't make sense to me until now because I didn't think they would make the key into human form."

Buffy sat there stunned before saying "Right well you know a whole lot more than I expected. A god? Huh…."

Buffy entered her room with Dawn to find two shocked 11 year olds staring at her. That lasted a minute before they were in her arms hugging her. She laughed at them and said "Right anyone would think you two missed me." Dawn glared at her and said " Dumbledore told us you were coming back tomorrow so we were going to do your room up and make it a surprise but no you had to come back now and ruin it." Cayden however gave Buffy a smile and said "I think she means to say, yes we missed you."

Buffy smiled at him and ruffled his hair before saying "Well as happy as I am about this whole do my room up thing, I am totally beat and you two have a curfew to beat, so might be better to go join the snake people."

Dawn threw her brother a look before saying "Yes let's make that sound less like pod people shall we?" Dawn proceeded to poke Buffy in the ribs which in turn made her squeal and retaliate with a tickling.

Cayden rolled his eyes and said "Why do I get stuck with sisters?"

The sisters turned to look at him and Buffy raised am eyebrow and said "You so did not just say that!" While Dawn turned to Buffy and said "should we?" Buffy nodded and they both once more turned to him with identical grins causing him to back up shaking his head.

If anyone had been outside her room they would have had giggling and yelling proceeded by a not so manly screech?

Buffy eventually backed away from the twins and said "Ok chiddlings, I was serious about being tired. So scat!" They pouted at her before grumbling and headed to the door, but not before in a totally identical move, poked their tongues out and fled when pillows were thrown at the door.

Dream

She walks down the corridor and in her ears she can the hissing but has no idea what it means. The feeling of excitement however encounters her quite forcefully. There is a flash and she is suddenly seeing a red headed man and a curse is thrown at him, Buffy yells as the pain engulfs her and the man falls to the ground unconscious. A couple of minutes maybe hours, she can't tell, go by and then she notices a snake curled in the corner slowly unfurls and move slowly towards the man. Buffy screams when the snake gets closer

Wakes up to own scream

Buffy is sweating heavily but she scrambles out of the bed and throws on her sweat pants and a t-shirt and runs out of her room in the direction of the headmaster's office. She is in a panic and can't remember the password but as if sensing her need the Gargoyle opens and she gets on it and it slowly ascends.

When she steps out she is panting and she know her eyes must like wild and panic driven. She didn't expect it, not even in her wildest dreams would she have expected what she saw when she got off the gargoyle. Her face drained of color as she saw standing in an equally panicked state was the one and only, Harry James Potter.

Author note:

God I am evil, I promise the next chapter won't be too long. But finally they meet, or else they will in the next chapter. I am pretty sure I am totally off about the whole Ron's dad in danger now or the way it happened but I wanted them to hurry up and meet already and this kind of seemed a very cool dramatic way for them to meet. I hope you like it and the whole Dumbledore knowing the stuff about Glory (I can't exactly use the council now can I? I hate them!).
