Summary: Their lives at Hogwarts are about to begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from the series "Buffy" and "Angel" as well as "Harry Potter", but Joss Whedon and J.K. Rowling do. I just like to play with them.
Many thanks Pat, Lunamoon and Queensereya for betaing my story.
A/N 1: Read the content guide and Book I to see how everything went until they came at Hogwarts.
A/N 2: I got stuck after chapter 4, so I'm leaping from year 2007 to 2012. Those missing years will come back in the future chapters.
August 2012
"DAD! MOM! My letter has arrived. When are we going shopping?" William yelled as the white owl delivered his letter.
"We want to come too!" two twin voices rang through the living room.
"Calm down," Angel said sternly and waited until his children finally sat down. "Let's get your father and we'll all go to Diagon Alley."
William, who couldn't stay seated, stood up again and danced around the living room with Fred and George following him. "We are going Hogwarts, we are going to Hogwarts," all three sang along.
Draco giggled at the antics of his big brother. They had been waiting for the letter to arrive, as they would do again next year for him, Harry and Ron.
"Okay, let's follow the list of what you need, okay?" Xander suggested as he took William's list in his hands while the children ran to one of the shop's windows to look inside. "For the first year, they need a standard cauldron, a wand and you could have either an owl, a rat or a toad. And we mustn't forget all those books."
"William, Fred, Percy and Draco, you come with us. Harry, George, Ron and Liza, you go with Mr. Weasley and Severus," Xander said as he split the group while Ethan and Mrs. Weasley stayed home with the younger children.

"Daddy, I got a wand," Harry shouted as he ran back to his parents.
"You're not supposed to have a wand already, Harry. What happened?" Xander questioned as he looked at Severus for the answer.
"The wand chose him. He's not allowed to use it yet, but Mr. Ollivander persisted that he take it with him already," Severus explained while giving the purchases to Angel.
"I want a wand too, Dad," Draco said sadly.
"You still have your old wand. You'll get your new one, when you enter Hogwarts next year," Angel replied before his husband shrank all their packages and went to collect everyone.
"How are your boys doing?" Mr. Weasley asked curiously at Severus.
"Odin and Ivan are doing fine. Loud and noisy, but fine. Ethan and Mrs. Weasley must be tired when we get back. We did leave the loudest children with them," Severus answered.
"Do we have everything?" Xander said, raising his voice.
"NO! I still have to get a pet," William said in a panic before looking around.
"We found a suitable animal for you, but she's at home," Xander said while gathering the children.
"You did?" William asked surprised. "What is it?"
"Yes, we did. It's a small white owl. So you're ready?" Angel replied.
William didn't have any time to nod before they apparated near the Burrow and continued to walk towards their home.

"Don't do anything foolish, you hear me?" Xander warned William as he and Angel waved at the slowly moving train.
"I won't, Dad. See you at Hogwarts," William said loudly before sitting on the bench in one of compartments. His friends soon joined him.
William stood with many first years in front of Professor McGonagall as the Headmaster explained what would happen. He saw his brothers and sister sitting at the Head table with his parents, watching him proudly. Nicky was waving at him, while Draco and Harry were staring at the Hat.
After the song, the Professor started naming all the first years. With affection in her voice, she named her grandson's name. "William Harris."
William sat on the chair and sat waiting for the hat to call out the house.
"SLYTHERIN!" the hat called out. Surprised, he walked towards the Slytherin table and sat down. He saw his friends stare at him in shock before the Weasley twins were called one by one.
"SLYTHERIN!"
Fred and George gaped at the hat as their new houses were called out one by one before making their way to William. They sat down and looked from their food to William to their family at the Gryffindor table.
"At least we're together. Besides, our dads have already discussed this," Fred said as he started eating.
Severus Snape was stunned into silence when he witnessed two Weasley's enter his house. He looked at Ethan who smiled while helping their youngest son Odin to eat while their oldest boy Ivan was playing with Nicky and Lily.
Xander watched proudly when his son sat at the Slytherin table with his two best friends. Arthur and him talked about the possibilities that William and the twins could be sorted into the other houses based on their characters.
The burrow – 9 p.m.
"Arthur, tell me! Which house were the twins sorted into?" Molly said curiously, almost demanding, as she was eager to know.
"Slytherin," Arthur answered and watched his wife carefully.
"Together with William?"
"Yes, this is the first time in the Weasley history that we have children sorted into Slytherin," Arthur explained smiling. "But in the twins case, I think it's because of their pranks and their characters."
"I agree. Let's just hope everything will be okay," Molly said slightly worried before she busied herself with the house and her two other children.
"Fred, is that Draco and Harry peeking around the corner?" William asked his friends when they stepped out of the Transfiguration class.
"Draco Malfoy Harris! Harry Potter Harris! What do you think you're doing?" Xander Harris stated angry as he saw his two sons out of class.
Draco and Harry turned around, slightly scared when they realised they had been caught trailing their brother. "We don't have classes right now, Dad."
"Really, says who?" Giles and Ethan said from behind the two boys.
Eyes widened as they blushed and quickly walked towards their classes where their friend Ron was already waiting. They needed more time to silently follow William. They wanted to know what their brother was learning. They sat close together as they planned their next plan, making Giles and Ethan watch them with concern. It never bode well, when those three began planning things.
