CHAPTER 3: Meet the Scooby Gang

Dumbledore, Buffy and Harry landed inside the S.W.W.C.H.Q. (Slayers and Watcher's World Council) otherwise known as Scooby Headquarters in Rome.

Harry looked around and realized he wasn't inside Number 12 Grimmauld Place like he expected to be. He was in a huge building that looked like it had been a converted monastery. He turned and looked at Dumbledore and his sister warily, the whole night catching up with him.

"Where are we Professor?" he asked.

Buffy grinned. She knew it was safe to tell Harry who and what she was. He knew what was what in the world and he was family after all.

"This, little brother, is Scooby Headquarters," she said, "also known as the Slayers and Watchers World Council Headquarters."

Slayers and watchers…where have I heard that term before Harry wondered. As he thought the light bulb went off in his head. "Sweet Merlin!" he breathed. "You're the slayer!"

At that Buffy laughed. Harry didn't see what was so funny and looked at Dumbledore and saw the man's eyes twinkling in overdrive. Buffy finally got control of herself and spoke.

"No Harry I am not THE Slayer anymore Harry, I haven't been for six years," said Buffy soberly. "Come on and we can talk in the council's library."

Buffy started moving and led them down a hall into a large meeting room. To Harry it looked like a library one found at a university. While he and Dumbledore sat down at the table, Buffy sat at the main desk and used the phone to make a conference call.

"Giles?...Yeah it's Buffy…I know I KNOW I'm sorry I woke you up but do me a favor and come down to the library…"

Harry noticed Buffy roll her eyes as this Giles spoke to her.

"Yes I'm sure…and no it's not on the apocalyptic scale…just get down here and bring Xander, Anya and Willow while you're here as well…Thanks, I'll get Dawnie, Faith, Spike, Illyria, and Robin okay…Thanks Giles."

Buffy hung up the phone and noticed the looks of confusion that Dumbledore and Harry were giving her.

"Sorry about that," she said sheepishly, "But before we discuss anything I needed to call the Scoobies."

Harry was curious and wondered who the 'Scoobies' were. "Who are the Scoobies?" he asked.

Buffy grinned slightly. "Well the core Scoobies were me, my best friends, Xander Harris and Willow Rosenberg, my first love Angel, and my watcher, Rupert Giles," she explained. "They all helped me when I was fighting the things that go 'bump' in the night. But over the years, we've had others join the group and they included Daniel 'Oz' Osbourne, Kendra and Faith 'the other original slayers', Cordelia Chase, Tara Maclay, Spike, Dawn, Robin Wood, and now Illyria," she paused to take a breath before she continued.

"I don't think I could have survived this long had it not been for my friends. But they were there for me and helped me defeat the Big Bad by helping with research, fighting and magic," Buffy continued.

Buffy saw the look of reminiscence on Harry's face. Must be remembering all the times that Ron, and Hermione and the others helped him. She smiled. "I guess you could say that we're kind of like you and your friends Harry," she said jovially.

Harry nodded in agreement. But immediately sobered and said, "Buffy, I am so sorr…"

Buffy cut him off asking, "Why are you sorry Harry?" Though she had a sneaking suspicion what he was going to say.

"Because it is my fault mum and dad are dead!" he ranted, shocking both Buffy and Dumbledore. "If that old bat Trelawney had not made that stupid prophesy saying I'd either have to kill Voldemort or he kills me they wouldn't have died!"

Buffy felt anger for what happened to Harry boil inside and shook her head as Dumbledore tried to calm Harry down when he broke down and cried. She went over to Harry and knelt in front of him and grabbed his hands into hers.

"Harry," she said forcing him to look her in the eyes. "It…is…not…your…fault. If anything blame the Powers that Be and Voldemort, but do not blame yourself. Prophesies can be misinterpreted and wrong all the time," she continued.

"When I was 16 I had only been a slayer for about a year and I found out that there was a prophesy stating that the Master, a powerful vampire, would break free of the Hellmouth and kill me. I couldn't let that happen so I snuck down into his lair and confronted him. He drained me and left laying face down in a pool of water where I drowned. I was literally dead Harry, for a few minutes until my friends Angel and Xander found me and Xander performed CPR on me bringing me back to life," she admitted.

Harry, though still upset was intrigued by the story. "What happened then?" he asked.

Buffy grinned widely. "The Scoobies and I kicked his sorry ass and then partied," she told them. "So you see prophesies are often and can be wrong. But why do you think you have to do this…"

Realization hit her and she turned a furious glare at Dumbledore. "Why didn't you tell him the full prophesy Albus?" she asked, her voice laced with ice.

Dumbledore winced. "I didn't think he was ready…"

Buffy rolled her eyes. "That's bullshit Albus. Harry's never been a child," she said then threw a glance at Harry, "have you?"

"No I haven't. The Dursley's always treated me like one of Malfoy's house elves," Harry admitted.

Dumbledore didn't know what to say, he had made so many mistakes with Harry. But he truly thought that he was doing what was best for the boy at the time. And he truly hadn't known how badly he was being or would be treated by the Dursley's. Though Minerva did warn him that they were "the worst sort of muggle" before they left the child on the door step.

It was then that Buffy decided to tell him the rest of the prophesy. She looked Dumbledore straight in the eye, "You didn't tell him the entire prophesy did you?" she asked.

The twinkle left Dumbledore's eyes as he looked sadly at both Potter siblings. "No I did not. I thought I was protecting him from losing his childhood," Dumbledore sighed, "But it seems that it has been a long time since he actually had a childhood."

At that Harry snorted in disgust. "Try since I was three years old and old enough to 'earn my keep' by doing nearly all the chores around the house," he mumbled, but both slayer and the elderly wizard caught the mumbling and Dumbledore felt his heart wrench.

Buffy turned her furious gaze onto Dumbledore and said, "I think you need to stop seeing Harry as the child he once was and now as the man he has become. If you keep things from him, more people are going to die because he doesn't have all of the information."

Dumbledore nodded and she continued, "Harry before you even sink into self doubt and pity, listen to the rest of the prophesy ok? I've done that myself and it is not good, you can't blame yourself for things other people caused." Harry nodded.

Buffy took a deep breath and began to speak, "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal…But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...," Buffy recited.

After a moment she continued, "That's the part you know. Now here's the rest. And with help from long lost siblings and his soulmate…He shall defeat the Dark Lord…One older sibling who will become the twice-dead slayer…The other younger and created by magic…And the soulmate shall be she who was possessed by the Dark Lord…The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…"

Harry sat and listened to the later part of the prophesy and his eyes widened. "So I have a another…" he began, "sister," Buffy finished. " I'll explain later."

As the words turned round in Harry's head he realized who his soulmate was and looked at Dumbledore questioningly. "This means that Ginny is my soulmate doesn't it?" he asked.

Dumbledore didn't need to answer the twinkle in his eyes gave everything away to Harry. Harry couldn't believe it. He hadn't even thought of Ginny in that way before and had only recently begun to think of her as one of his best friends.

As Harry was thinking about Ginny and the others, Buffy had called her friends.

Then, suddenly the door opened and nine other people walked in. Five women and four men.

Three of the women had darker hair, though one had blue streaks in it, the second dark haired woman looked like she was around Buffy's age and the third one looked like she was Harry's age. The fourth woman was blonde and was the same age as Buffy. The last one was a red headed woman that Harry reminded Harry of Ginny and his, Dawn's and Buffy's mum.

There was an older man who kinda reminded him of a mix of Sirius and Remus. There were also three younger men about Buffy's age or just a little bit older. One had dark hair and was missing an eye. The second one had bleached blonde hair and piercing blue eyes; the last was African and had dark hair.

Buffy grinned. "Well brother mine I'd like you to meet the Scoobies," she said waving her hand at her friends, ex, and sister, "Scoobies, meet my and Dawn's brother Harry Potter. And the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore"

At that the entire room went slack-jawed for a few minutes before Spike spoke up.

"What do you mean pet?" he asked, "Dawn's the only sibling you have."

Buffy rolled her eyes. You'd think Spike could make out with his sense of smell that Dawn and Harry are twins. "Yes Spike. Harry is my younger brother, and Dawn's twin," she said.

"Geez Spike, you'd think that bleach soaked through to your brain," Buffy teased.

Spike looked like he was about to say something when Dawn looked at her new found 'twin brother', and wide-eyed as the realization hit her. "Oh shit!"

"Dawnie, language!" Buffy admonished. "And yes, what you're thinking is correct."

Giles looked at Buffy curiously. "What's going on Buffy?" he asked while cleaning his glasses on the hem of his shirt.

Buffy looked at Giles and began her story. "A few days ago I was going through some of Joyce's files and found something interesting. It turns out that Joyce was not my real mother. My real parents were James and Lily Potter. And they were a wand using wizard and witch. They had me when they were 16 years old and put me up for adoption. After they finished school and college they got married and had Harry," She told them.

"That would explain why the council never found you until you were called," Giles thought aloud.

Buffy nodded, "Right. Anyway, when the monks created Dawn, since they made her out of my DNA she is obviously Harry's sister as well and it looks like she's Harry's twin."

Then it was Harry and Dumbledore's turn to tell their story.

"As Buffy said, I am Albus Dumbledore and I am the headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Dumbledore began.

Over the next couple of hours, Harry and Dumbledore explained The Wizarding World and what was going on with Voldemort. They also told everyone about Harry's adventures during school.

However, Buffy noticed that Harry had skipped the part about their abusive aunt and uncle.

She grinned hearing Giles muttering "Oh dear Lord" a lot and couldn't help it. She hadn't made him mutter that in years.

"And so here we are," Dumbledore said.

Dawn looked at her 'new' brother and then at Buffy and grinned.

Buffy caught Dawn's grin. "What are for Dawnie?"

Dawn gave Buffy an innocent look. But Buffy wasn't fooled. "Dawn," warning clear in Buffy's voice.

"All right, all right," Dawn muttered. "I was just thinking how much you two are alike."

Buffy and Harry stared at Dawn like she was nuts.

"I mean you both have destiny that was laid out before you were even born," Dawn continued, "and you both have two friends who are like family to you, and you both have a people saving thing."

As Dawn finished, Buffy and Harry looked at each other then at Dawn before they both started laughing. Both Harry and Buffy knew she was right.
