Authors Notes: Sounds like most of you are on the right track with the prophecy. I have no intent on not giving the details, I just left them out of the last part 'cause it was too long with them in it.

Part 4- The who's who.

"My premmintions are never as detailed as that" Phoebe sighed in awe.

"Ahh, but at least you do remember them. This seer does not" Dumbledore assured Phoebe.

Dumbledore handed the parchment containing the prophecy to Giles to examine.

"So we're all involved in this prophecy. Our blood is required for this spell?" Dawn questioned, receiving a nod from Dumbledore. "It's always blood. Red stuff that's thicker than water, that makes you alive."

Xander couldn't help but wonder if Dawn was channelling Spike when she said that. It sounded similar to what he had said about the key's blood.

"Eldest of the living warren line is me" Piper handed Wyatt to Leo and began to pace. "My blood is going to be mixed with the first defeat of the great three…. Who the hell is that meant to be?"

"Maybe it's the first demon or warlock you vanquished?" Wesley suggested in his rational voice, the opposite of Piper's.

"How? Jermany's dead. We killed him. Twice!" Piper held up two fingers as she spoke frustrated that for this prophecy to occur her ex-lover would have to come back…again.

"People come back sometimes" Willow stated remembering when she raised Buffy.

She was sure someone as evil and powerful as Voldemort could do the same, somehow.

"The witch who returned to the light would be me. I went all-apoplectic at one stage, but I'm okay now I promise. The mortal who turned to dark could be…"

"Warren." Andrew flatly replied. He was now sitting on the stairs with a watcher diary. He didn't want to be left out of the action. "It's like this episode of Star Trek I –"

"Andrew, be quiet" Xander interrupted.

"Ron's part of it too. Who else could the golden tresses and strawberry locks children be but Draco and Ron" Hermoine noted with a slight groan.

"Malfory's part of this?" Harry was at first surprised, but then he realised something. "But Malfory's a bigger enemy of mine. Ever since I decided I'd never be friends with that git"

The Americans had no idea what Harry and Hermoine were talking about, but they assumed Draco Malfory was someone at Hogwarts and not some kind of hell beast.

"You have a greater friendship with the child given up because a mother's love than a greater hatred of Draco" Hermoine said in her matter-of-fact tone. "You're obviously the child saved by a mother's love Harry."

"That child would be me." Paige piped up. "My parents feared for what the Elders would do to my sisters and I if they knew I existed."

"But I don't even know you" Harry told her without thinking.

He was a little taken back by his harshness. He decided not to say anymore. Harry didn't want to have an outburst in a room full of strangers.

"That's why there is a few months before the first and second collecting the mixing of blood. Time must pass for events of the prophecy to occur" Dumbledore clarified as if he knew something they didn't.

"The mortal who sees and knows…" Dawn looked towards Xander remembering their conversation when Dawn had could have been slayer. "…it has to be Xander."

"They couldn't leave me out of it. I had to be picked on in some way or another. Lucky for me my blood is mixed with a friend's" Xander joked.

"I've got the power to see and know so that makes me you're friend Xander" Phoebe smiled at him. He smiled back.

"The slayer who escaped death could only be me. I don't see how any of the slayers we've got here have escaped death the way I have" Buffy said with a half proud and half mournful tone. "But I don't understand how a girl could almost see death"

"Hermoine" Harry stated causing everyone to turn to him once more. "Hermoine, you almost saw death when the Basilisk was at school. If you looked straight into its eyes you would have seen death, but you had the mirror so you almost saw it."

"Yeah, Harry's right" Ron added, feeling he had to say something.

"What about the last bit? The hope of the light and with the three of everything." Paige continued to work on the next part of the prophecy.

"The hope of light would refer to the fight against Voldemort" Giles explained as Ron jumped at the mention of the name.
The others gave him confused looks, not knowing fear of a name. "I understand it now" Piper began, sitting down next to Leo holding Wyatt in her lap. "Three friends would refer to me and my sisters. Of three friends I assume would be you Buffy, Willow and Xander. Of the other three friends have to be Harry, Hermoine and Ron."

"Three minds- Willow, Hermoine and Paige" Xander continued guessing that Hermoine was the brains of her group.

She had that atmosphere about her. Plus she was wearing the type of clothes Xander knew Willow wore back when she was sixteen.

"Three hands- Phoebe, Buffy and Harry" Paige added knowing these were the fighters of the groups.

"And the three hearts would be Ron, Piper and Xander" Harry finished.

"Considering this prophecy occurs over the year I insist that you spend the year at Hogwarts. Of course the decision is up to you" Dumbledore told the group.

Xander was the first to answer rather quickly.

"I don't know about these lovely ladies" Xander gestured to the Halliwells. "But I'm more of a 'run and hide' kind of guy. Maybe I'm missing something…apart from my eye…but wouldn't it make sense for all of us to just split up?"

"That I would like to believe Xander, but simple logic will not work in this case. With you all at Hogwarts you can learn more about our way of life and the spells to defend yourselves against the death eaters. There is so much power gathered in this room. United we stand-"

"Divided we fall" Buffy finished Dumbledore's sentence. "I completely agree. I'm only alive because of my friends. Literately, they're the ones who brought me back to life"

Paige smiled at Buffy. She felt exactly the same way. Her sisters were her friends. Without them she would be lost. Without them she probably would have turned back to alcohol by now. It was the search for her family that sobered her. Like Buffy, Paige was also up for a change in lifestyle for a while. Since Nate turned out to be married there was nothing keeping Paige in the States, besides her sisters, who would have to go too.

Harry on the other hand caught himself staring at Buffy. But only for a moment. He quickly turned his head to look at his own feet to make it appear as if he was in great thought about the prophecy. Harry was in thinking about Sirius. If Buffy could be brought back to life then was it possible that Sirius could too?

"So…when do we leave?" Paige asked eager to see the school.

Later that night Phoebe sat on her bed reading the book of shadows. After the experience with Dumbledore, Phoebe had decided to try and find any evidence of these other kinds of magic in her magical book. As she turned the pages Dumbledore became more and more correct. The three magic's rarely did have anything to do with each other. There was no mention of Willow's Wiccan magic, nor of any wand use. The book still referred to its magic as being Wiccan, which confused Phoebe slightly.

Phoebe had left her door open which Xander noticed as he strolled past it. He casually walked into the room to see what she was doing. Phoebe looked up at the young man and gasped.

"You have two eyes!"

"Yep" Xander smiled going cross-eyed. "Dumbledore worked his mojo before he left and now I can do this!"

Xander crossed his eyes, causing him to see two Phoebe's sitting on the bed. Feeling a little dizzy he uncrossed them and sat down next to her.

Both Leo and Paige had tried to heal Xander's eyes, but their attempts hadn't worked. Leo concluded it was because Xander's injury occurred some time ago. It was too late to heal it.

"Now you have depth cues and everything." Phoebe paused for a moment then added. "What are you going to do with the patch?"

"I can use it for Halloween, but I've been a pirate before. What else have patches? Or maybe I'll just burn it. Have a little patch bonfire party. We can have streamers and party poppers and everything. Just so long as no one points one at my eyes" Xander replied.

He glanced at the book of shadows before turning back to Phoebe. "Got any patch burning spells in there?"

"I don't think so. You may just have to use a normal lighter" Phoebe answered smiling.

Back in England, the three sixth year students sat in the backyard of Grimmulad place. There was another Order meeting so Mrs Weasley suggested they go outside and enjoy the warm nightly weather. Harry was happy to be outside of the house and away from Kreacher. With Sirius dead, Harry being Sirius's godson had gained control over the house elf. Unlike Dobby, Harry did not feel the desire to set Krecher free, especially after what happened last time he left the house. Hermoine still campaigned that they should be nicer to Krecher, but she reluctantly agreed with Harry about setting him free.

The backyard although was looking just as good as the backyard at the Weasley's Burrow. There were gnomes gathering throughout it, which were to be de-gnomed by the twins the next day. Percy had still not returned to the family. Ron and Ginny never mentioned his name but Fred let it slip to Harry that Percy was too embarrassed to return.

"I can't believe we actually meant the Vampire Slayer and the Charmed Ones" Hermoine sighed in awe.

"A vampire slayer" Harry corrected remembering what Dumbledore had told them afterwards. "She changed the rules remember. I don't see what the big deal is anyway. We'd never heard of any of them until now"

"You haven't heard anything about them because you too don't read enough. I've read small mentions of both the Charmed Ones and the Slayer. I think its amazing we've met such powerful people. And to think that there's other types of magic out there. Doesn't it just make you want to learn all about it?" Hermoine pondered.

"No" Ron and Harry said together.

"I wonder if they're any slayers awoken that go to our school" Ron slightly changed the subject.

"I witches can't be slayers Ron" Hermoine automatically answered as if she were a human textbook. "Slayers don't have any real magical powers. In the past they were just strong muggles who could become a slayer if the present one died."

"So if Buffy's died before does that mean there was another slayer around?" Harry questioned.

"I suppose so. I would really like to find out more about slayers and the charmed ones too. Maybe we can go to London soon and see if some of the bookshops in Diagon Alley have some books on them. Or maybe I can ask Mr. Giles if I can borrow some of his books on slayers and look through the Charmed ones spell book. Isn't it so exciting how much we're going to learn from them?" Hermione said.

"You-know-who wants to steal our blood to become even more powerful and she's excited about learning" Ron groaned.
