Chapter 7 FAPTI

Some Family history and Time Warp?

A.N. This chapter focuses on Buffy's family and there past

Buffy POV

Buffy was instantly aware of Shamus O'Reilly, as he made his way over to them. He had a powerful presents that seemed to project to her spidy sense. He was around 6"1, with brown eyes and red hair. He carried himself with an elegant sort of grace the kind that reminded her off a ballet dancer she thought trying not to snigger.

Shamus arrived where they were standing and introduced him self

"Hello I am Shamus O'Reilly"

After a pause he went on

"Would you mind if we all move into a private room to talk I have some explaining to do"

"Obviously" Cordy said under her breath

"If you would follow me this way"

Know the Caldron wasn't the best looking place. The wallpaper was faded and the floors worn.

Understandably Buffy's and the Scoobies mouths dropped and there eyes open wide with shock when they saw the private room he was referring to, it had A large chandelier that shone tiny rainbows all over the pastel yellow walls and beautiful wooden chairs with deep cushions covered with pastel green cloth covers.

Gesturing for them to sit down Shamus taking a deep breath began.

"When the first Colonists arrived in the new world Wizards were among them, for they had been driven out of the European Wizarding world because they wear feared. They were wizards and Witches that did not need wands because wands merely act as enhances for a persons magic but these witches and Wizards refused to give up the ways of there forefathers, for that they were labeled dark and came to the new world."

Pausing a moment to collect his breath he then continued

"The first ones to arrived Swore oaths that all witches and Wizards born on their shores would be trained in Wicca and Wand-Wielding ways, and never would they refuse a squib refuge and the chance to learn Wicca magic."

"That's a nice story," Buffy said

"But what dose that have to do with my friends and me?"

"Well Miss. Summers if you would hold on for a couple more moments ill tell you"

Looking at her friends and Cordy, Buffy decided to stay nodding she waited to hear the rest of his tale.

"By the eighteen hundreds the European Wizarding world saw America as a place for squibs to go so that they would not"

Pausing Shamus grimaced as he continued.

"Disgrace their family's"

"At around that time there was a son born to a very prominent family in England when it came around time for him to attend school the family found out he was a Squib. They then contacted the American Society of Magic and sent him to Salem the Capital of American Magic. When he arrived the Squib and Muggle division found out his name was Orion and placed him with a student Elizabeth and her parents."

Taking a deep breath he continued

"Know Orion from what we can tell became the son they never had. Elizabeth and Orion were married and your family line began. Orion and Elizabeth were prominent members of the American government having various houses also having investments in stocks in business. This in short means you Miss. Summers must come to Salem's Gringotts branch to do a inheritance ritual and to find out what stocks and houses you own as your family is from a very old linage."

"Around the time your great grandparents were expecting their first child. Orion's Biological parents died leaving him and his children as the Patriarchs of the family due to the fact they could not locate Orion or did not try at all a cousin's family became the Patriarchs and have remained so since no one from your family has claimed it which I suggest you do Miss. Summers."

"It's so nice to know about Buffy's history but what does that have to do with us?" Cordy said in a sarcastic tone

"Well seeing as all of you should have come to Salem I would like to offer all of you the opportunity to catch up to where you should be had you started on time. Which means we would give all of you crash courses for about 3 weeks to catch you up to take your OWLs so that next year you could be caught up to your age level"

"So what does that mean for Xander?" Roy asked

Buffy, Willow, Cordy and Giles looked at Roy with facial expressions ranging from concerned to indifference. Shamus had rushed them in so fast they hadn't the time to asked Xander who he was.

If Shamus saw their expressions he ignored them and turned to answer Roy

"It means Xander and the rest who choose to would go into warp time."

"What is that exactly?" Buffy asked

"I am not qualified to explain the particulars about it but basically it is a ritual that allows you to be enclosed in a building and what feels like a week to people outside of it, feels like twenty one weeks to you it essentially be like an intense Summer school should you choose to accept to go."

To everyone's Surprise Buffy spoke up first

"I'd like to do it"

"Buffy you do realize this is virtually throwing away any miniscule chance you had for a normal life?"

"Giles I died a few months ago for a minute or two. I was technically dead till Xander did CPR that triggered the activation of another slayer according to Angel. Which means she and her watcher can take over the Hellmouth and since Angel will be there to help. Giles I know I cant stop being the Slayer it's a part of me, but this Magic is too. Plus since you're my watcher ill still need you when I go so the question really is will you come with me Giles?"

Taking less than a minute to answer Giles replied

"I wouldn't leave you for the world Buffy"

Buffy's smiled with Radiance. Willow and Xander respectably accepted Xander's Uncle Roy and Mrs. Calendar surprised them by saying they were coming with them Giles, Buffy noted seemed Glad Mrs. Calendar was coming but Surprising the Scoobies the greatest was Cordy's acceptance to go.

"What I'm safer there then Sunnyhell!" was her reply to their confused gazes

"She's Quite right you know" Giles said while polishing his glasses.

In Bulgaria

Viktor was having trouble specifically trouble with his fame it seamed to have gotten worse after the Photo shoot the team had done hundreds of letters mostly fan girls arrived each day for him. the coach had said he had to respond to some of them at least

Flash to previous day

"Krum"

"Yes, coach"

"You haven't been answering any of the fan mail you've been getting you need to answer some of them at least"

"Okay coach I will answer at least some of them"

End flash back

The assistant coach said to answer ones he felt comfortable doing since the coach hadn't specified any thing he decided to look for fans of game not of him. Almost all of the first 25 letters he opened had all had basically the same things

"I love you"

"You are the hottest guy I've ever seen"

plus other things that made the virginal Viktor Krum blush even though he heard worse things in the locker room it was different coming from girls but he knew they were after his fame so he was not tempted.

Opening on from a boy that was really a fan it read
