Pairings: Buffy/Spike, Dawn/Harry, Sirius?
Answer to stormsilver London Relatives challenge Harry Potter/Buffy Buffy is Sirius' niece, and they find out about each other after Chosen, season 7 of Buffy. It can be any time during the Harry Potter series, but Dawn is around the same age as Harry, and Buffy is older. I would like to see Spike in this story as well, preferably paired with Buffy, but it is not a requirement.
Specifics: The wizarding world should have little to no knowledge of the Vampire Slayer, or the Watcher's Council.
Sirius should not know what Buffy is at first, ie a Slayer.
Must be set after Not Fade Away, season 5, Angel.
Note: It is not required that Sirius is still alive in the story.
AN: Some people come clean with secrets they've been keeping in this. I would like to thank everybody who reviewed and I hope you enjoy this
Chapter 4 Now Revealed
Albus Dumbledore had just arrived and the meeting was about to begin. Molly had herded the children upstairs and confiscated those contraptions Fred and George had created. Just to be extra cautious a block had been placed around the room making it impossible for anyone to listen in using any means.
"Tomorrow young Draco arrives," Dumbledore began calmly "he will be placed under Severus's care."
"No." Sirius interrupted him firmly and everyone's eyes flew to him.
"He is my godson." Snape glared at him hate clear in his eyes "he will be placed with me."
Sirius stood up his hands clenched in fist on the table "Under wizarding law a minor must be placed with his or her nearest blood relative."
Snape smiled coldly "Last time I checked Black" he sneered "you were a criminal."
"Not me." Sirius sighed "his older sister,"
" Well that's preposterous." Molly declared "Draco is an only child." Everyone knew that.
Dumbledore studied Sirius intensely "Do enlighten us Sirius?"
The ex convict closed his eyes in resignation "Narcissa came to me twenty two years ago with a child, a girl. Lucius was vehement no female would carry the Malfoy name so I hid the child for her in the States. When Draco was born he had a twin sister. I placed the girl with the same family as the other, Narcissa wanted them to be together," he smiled fondly remembering.
"To protect the children Narcissa used earth magic to hide them from any mystical detection. But she's dead now and whatever magic protects them is fading. They're in danger and the safest place for them would be here. Besides…" Sirius dared anyone to disagree with him "Legally and magically Narcissa's oldest daughter has inherited full custody of Draco."

On the Council's jet that took the survivors back to headquarters Buffy had paced furiously in the small cabin being brought out of her chaotic thoughts every now and then to glare at Spike. When they landed Buffy wasted no time in getting to Giles Dawn trailing behind her.
"What in the hell is wrong with me." the Slayer demanded desperately needing answers to what had happened.
"I dare say I'm at a loss." Giles told her amused.
Before Buffy could yell some more Dawn told him what had happened "Death Eaters attacked us and when they went in for the kill Buffy made this shieldy blue thing appear around us." She really needed to stop hanging out with Andrew, that was borderline geek.
"That's really advanced Buffy." Willow told her worried "I've only started experimenting with personal shields." Willow had followed Dawn sensing something wasn't right.
Buffy turned to her best friend "But that's the thing wills, I don't do magic. Me and magic are very unmixy." she pouted turning back to Giles.
Giles sighed in defeat knowing the time had come "There was a possibility."
"What?" Buffy demanded nervous "A possibility of what?"
"The reason the Watchers Council was unable to locate you was due to the fact that someone very powerful had placed a sort of block over your aura so no means of mystical abilities could detect your presence. Later, when Glory was becoming a threat and Dawn had disappeared, Willow attempted a locator spell."
Willow picked up her part "I got nothing, on you or Dawn. It was like you guys had been erased from the world or something."
Giles resumed "The same thing had been done to Dawn that was done to you. Someone placed the spell on you as infants, along with one to bind any magical abilities you might posses."
Dawn's eyes widened as she remembered something they had learned after their mother had died.
Giles continued " The Hellmouth unraveled some of the threads binding the magic, there is no other way to explain why both Buffy and Dawn executed very powerful and complicated spells successfully."
"Luck." Buffy gulped out hopefully knowing there was more to it than that.
"Or it could all have something to do with the fact that were adopted." Dawn suggested the thing that made the most sense to her.

Draco arrived at the Order exhausted from having to dodge Death Eaters and deal with annoyingly dense escort.
"Uncle Sirius." Draco saw the man stunned, his mother had told him of her older brother despite his fathers hatred of the man.
"Hello Drake." Sirius grinned and hugged his nephew. Draco was more his mother's child than Lucius. That was why he had refused to become a Death Eater. He might share some of his fathers views but he wasn't as evil as the golden trio believed him to be.
"There is something your uncle wishes to tell you." Dumbledore stated amused and everyone cleared the room to leave the two alone.
"What is it?" Draco grumbled wondering what people felt so strongly he had to know that couldn't wait for tomorrow.
"Your father never wanted daughters," Draco knew that "So your mother gave your older sister and your twin sister up for adoption."
That Draco Malfoy wasn't expecting.
