Reviewer Responses
Lorency- (grins) No worries there. I will definitely have Buffy kick a little Dursley ass.
At a loss for words- Thanks for the compliment. I promise to finish writing this story. It won't be left on the back burner.
Airyckah- Here's the update that you asked so nicely for.
Just Me- Thanks. Always happy to hear my readers are enjoying the story.
123Michaelc- Wow! Thank you for the review. Keep reading and reviewing, please (gives puppy dog look) And thanks for the compliment on the story line. It seems as though every Buffy/HP crossover I've read where Buffy is Harry's long lost older sister it always takes place right after the 5th Book and between seasons 4 and 5 on Buffy, so the authors are left leaving Dawn out of the loop or making her Buffy's baby daughter. I didn't want that for my fic. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Angel Sumritos- Just keep on reading and I will keep writing.
Lady Solaris- Wow, no one has every complimented my like that before about my writing. I do plan on seeing this through to the end. So no worries there. Thanks for the compliments. All I ask is that you keep reading and reviewing.
Nixinox- Sorry if it wasn't clear. But thanks for reading.
Moony's-Mate- Thank you for the review. I'll take your vote into consideration (writes 'Moony's-mate suggests Buffy be paired with Remus' on pad of paper). I may decide to bring Faith and the other Scoobies in as well. But for now everything's up in the air.
Slays- No problem about the quick update. Glad you're enjoying the fic. And I think Buffy might go into overprotective mode. You'll just have to read and review.
The Cardboard Moon- I agree, but I think that the fact she was with Dumbledore, saved him from another beating, and that she was taking him form the Dursley's permanently might over ride the initial mistrust.
Tanydwr- Thanks for your enthusiastic review. I definitely plan on continuing this fic. And thanks for adding me to your favorites. Makes me feel good to know I have fans and am appreciated.
Manitcore-gurl071134- What can I say. I definitely plan on seeing this fic through to the end. Thanks for the review.
Author's Note: Wow! I can't beleive I have at total of 13 reviews for Chapter 1. I really didn't expect this kind of reception. Thank you to all of you who found time to read and those of you who also reviewed as well. Here's the eagerly awaited Chapter 2. Sorry it took so long, but I was swamped with midterms, homework, studying, and work.
CHAPTER 2: In Which Uncle Vernon Gets His Just Desserts
As Buffy ( Elizabeth) left Harry's room she noticed all the locks on the door, and the little flap at the bottom. Everything she saw made it look like they were keeping him prisoner. As she descended the stairs her anger grew as she noticed they had no school photos of Harry up on the walls. She quickly made her way into the living room, and on her way passing the cupboard under the stairs.
She would have ignored it, except for the metallic glint from a vent on the door. They locked him up in the cupboard! She thought. Even as she thought that, she knew it to be true. Her anger and hatred for these people far outweighed any anger she had ever felt for her 'supernatural' foes.
She finally made her way into the living room and found Dumbledore and the Dursley's, no make that Vernon Dursley, the other two were to scared to do anything, and Buffy stalked in like a lioness stalking her prey as she walked over and in front of Vernon Dursley.
Vernon watched as the tiny woman walked into the living room and stood up.
"How dare you treat Harry like this!" she said icily. "No one deserves to be treated that way."
Vernon's face grew five shades of red and purple as Dumbledore just looked at Buffy curiously. "What do you mean my dear?" he asked.
Buffy turned to Dumbledore disbelief and incredulity in her voice. "Didn't you see the eight locks and doggie door on Harry's door? Or the fact that his room is smaller than any of the other bedrooms? How about the fact that they have no school photos of Harry up on the walls or the fact that the cupboard under the stairs has a lock and air vent on it?" she asked. "I highly doubt that those are there for aesthetic purposes."
Before Dumbledore could say anything Vernon spoke, his voice filled with contempt. "Who do you think you are?" he asked angrily. "You have no right to be here and judge us. That boy," he spat out pointing upstairs, "has been nothing but trouble since the day he was born. He deserved every chore we gave him and every punishment. He's nothing but a freak and freeloader like his good for nothing parents!"
Buffy didn't give any hint of a reaction to the insults and thoughts Vernon voiced about her newly found family. She just stared at the man, and before anyone could blink she pulled her arm back and…
SLAP! CRACK! BOOM!
Without warning she punched Vernon in the jaw sending him flying backwards and knocking him unconscious.
Dumbledore, Petunia, Dudley, and Harry (who had finished packing and was dragging his trunk down the stairs) stared at the scene in shock. They had just seen a 5'5", 110 lbs, toned, blonde woman slap, punch, and send a 5'9", 300 lbs, blonde man across the room into the wall.
Harry was the first to recover, and was soon rolling on the floor laughing at the scene. He had never seen anyone get the better of his uncle and found it hilarious that his tiny sister had with one punch incapacitated their uncle.
"Oh, that was brilliant!" Harry laughed.
Vernon lay on the ground unconscious and Buffy glared at her 'aunt', and 'cousin' before turning to look at Harry.
"Harry," Buffy said her tone saying 'you better explain, and explain now', "can you tell Professor Dumbledore why there is a vent on the cupboard under the stairs, and eight locks that only lock from the outside and a doggie door on your bedroom door?"
At that Harry gulped. How was he going to explain this; he tried telling them but no one other than Hermione, Ron, Fred George, and Ginny ever believed him. Mrs. Weasley only ever thought they never feed him enough.
"The reason the vent is there is because that was by bedroom from the day I was brought here until I got my letter from Hogwarts. Then I was given the smallest bedroom in the house and they put those locks and doggie door in so they could lock me in and keep me from embarrassing the family," Harry explained.
"At one point during the summer before my second year there were security bars on my bedroom window to keep me from contacting anyone as well, and that's not counting the times they called me freak, hit me, let Dudley and his friends beat me up," Harry continued.
As Harry spoke, Dumbledore paled. He had always thought that Harry would be in a safe loving home with his aunt. He had no clue that Harry was being treated so badly. When Harry finished his little rant, Dumbledore's shoulders slumped slightly and he turned to Petunia angrily.
"How dare you treat Harry this way Petunia! He was your sister's son, doesn't that mean anything to you?" he asked.
Petunia sniffled and glared defiantly at Dumbledore. "What do you know?" she spat. "You're all just a bunch of freaks like my sister and that stupid husband of hers. That magic is unnatural and Vernon and I would not have it in our house so we did everything to quash it out of Harry. I never asked to be saddled with my freak nephew. You just threw him on the step and left him for me to care for…"
By this time Buffy had had enough of their foolishness. And cut Petunia off.
"Aunt Petunia; and I use the term Aunt loosely and only because of blood ties, You had better change your attitude about magic, because it is not something you can 'beat out' of someone. It is genetic and if a person don't understand it and learn to use it than chances are that it will consume them and destroy them," Buffy warned. "Besides, what will happen if Dudley ever has children and they end up showing signs of having magic?"
At that last statement both Petunia and Dudley paled. Buffy smirked then turned towards Dumbledore. "Let's make with the leaving," she said, then turned to Harry, "Got everything?"
Harry nodded and held onto his trunk and Hedwig's cage before grabbing onto Buffy's hand as she and Dumbledore both touched the portkey.
Dumbledore tapped the wand to the rope and said, "Lemon drops."
The three of them felt the pull at their navels that signaled the activation of the portkey and soon were gone forever from Number 4 Privet Drive.
