DISCLAIMER!!!!! I don't own these characters, just Sirius' adorable little sister Michelle. Joss Whedon and JK Rowling own Buffy and Harry Potter respectively. I'm just playing in their sandboxes with a friend… Oh and this is going up without being given the once over by my beta btw. Without further ado here is more of Sisters Divided. Oh, and reviews would be appreciated big time!
Previously in Sister's Divided: Buffy plans to flee the country, Willow finds out she and Buffy were kidnapped and adopted, and Lily finds a lead that could bring them closer to finding her missing sister.

Buffy stood in line anxiously waiting her turn to board her flight to New York. From New York she would fly straight to Heathrow and would get a hotel room for a couple of days. While in London she would lie low and avoid the Watcher's Council and its associates. After ten minutes Buffy was on the plane relaxing, oblivious to the fact that her brother-in-law, James Potter, and his best friend and partner in crime, Sirius Black had just gotten on a little charter flight to Sunnydale.
"Excuse me Miss." Buffy looked up to see a young hassled mother trying to get herself and her two small children to the empty seats next to Buffy.
Buffy stood up and got out of the woman's way. Just as his mother let go of his hand the little boy took off for the back end of the plane. "LIAM RYAN! Get back here young man!" cried the mother. Buffy saw that the woman was unsure on how to handle the situation and took off after little Liam.
Buffy grabbed the rambunctious four year old just as he made it to the door. "Let me go! Let me go! I wanna stay with me Da! You can't make me go live with my Gran! You can't!"
Buffy shifted her hold on the boy and grinned at the other passengers "Kids. You gotta love 'em." Most of them shook their heads and went back to their own business. One man watched Buffy and Liam with narrowed eyes. Buffy, now holding the boy carried him back to his mother ignoring the child's shrieks and flying fists and feet.
The man watching them got up and followed Buffy. "Excuse me Miss?" Buffy turned around.
"Yeah buddy. What can I do for you?" She asked smiling as she pushed on of Liam's fists away from her face.
"I'm a US Air Marshall," he showed Buffy his badge and tried to continue but was interrupted.
"Really? That's good for you! Look as fun as the 'Are you trying to kidnap this kid' conversation is gonna be this little guy's mom wants him back. So I'm going back to my seat and handing him back over to his mom. That cool with you?"
The Air Marshall looked a little taken back. He hadn't dealt with a teenage girl that could take charge of a situation like this girl seemed to. "If you're just taking him back to his mother then you won't mind me following you then will you?"
Buffy shrugged. "Fine by me buster." Turning on her heel Buffy went back to her seat and plopped the still struggling boy down in the empty seat in between his mother and younger sister.
Liam's mother looked up from speaking to the flight attendant to see Liam glowering at Buffy. "Oh thank you! I don't know what's gotten into him lately and with me Mum being sick and needing us to go and help her I haven't had the time to see what's wrong with the children! I really can't thank you enough."
"It's no problem. You look like you have your hands full with the two of them anyways."
The Air Marshall seemed satisfied with the situation and disappeared into the crowd on the plane without saying a word. Buffy resettled herself in her seat and pulled out the latest issue of Seventeen and began to read it once the plane was airborne and LA and Sunnydale were far behind her.

On the charter flight to Sunnydale Sirius and James were squished into the little plane with two other wizards, three Muggle women, four children, along with a blind man and his Seeing Eye dog. The Seeing Eye dog had latched onto Sirius and refused to let the poor animagus move an inch the whole flight. The Yellow Lab had fallen madly in love with Padfoot at first sniff and was determined to stay by his side for as long as possible. To say the British men were glad once their plane landed was an understatement.
"Bloody Hell!" Sirius cried once they had cleared the airport and were now free to roam around the city. Remind me why couldn't we apperate to Sunnydale again mate?"
James rolled his eyes. He understood that his best friend was anxious to find his missing baby sister, but today Sirius seemed even denser than normal. "Because if we had tried it we would have ended up in the middle of the bloody Sahara Dessert with no wands or water. As painful as Muggle travel is, it's the safest way to get to the Hellmouth without getting splinched."
"Oh." Sirius looked around the street they were standing on. "This town sure looks boring."
James snorted. "Boring. This town? Did you loose some brain cells on that flight mate?"
Sirius smirked as the American Aurors drove up in the Rent-A-Car they had for the week. "Na. I'm just seeing if you're paying attention or if you're worried about Lils and the baby. They're fine Prongs. Nothing is gonna happen while we're gone mate."
"Right so Lily's long lost sister isn't going to show up as we're chasing you're sister around California."
The two men climbed into the back of the rented Cadillac and set off to the address the American Muggle Government had provided them with.
-o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o-
Willow was sitting in her living room balancing her laptop on her knees as she tried to hack into the Immigration data base to keep her best friend from leaving the country. So far all she could do was see that Buffy had boarded a plane due to land in New York for a layover and to refuel before flying on to London. There was nothing Willow could do to keep her best friend in the country without raising any red flags for the US government on Willow's extra-curricular activity of hacking into secure government databases. Willow had just about decided to give up when the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door there were four men on waiting on her front steps. The two men in the back looked vaguely familiar, but the ones holding FBI badges didn't. "Excuse us miss, but we're looking for Sheila and Ira Rosenberg. We have been informed that they live at this address," said the man with brown hair and the black and blue tie.
"They're my parents, but they're not home right now," Willow replied. Seeing as it was daytime and the men hadn't burst into flames Willow decided to invite them in. "Won't you come in? It's way too hot to be outside today."
"Thank you…" The second FBI guy started.
"Willow. Willow Rosenberg." As she opened her front door wider Willow missed the look the two men in the back shared.
The four men entered the Rosenberg's home and were greeted with a blast of cold air; Willow had cranked the air conditioning to the coldest setting possible.
"Thank God for air conditioning." The blond 'FBI' Agent said as he whipped his forehead once everybody was in the living room.
"Can I get you guys anything to drink?" Willow asked.
"Water would be fine for all of us Miss Rosenberg," replied Agent Matthews.
Once Willow had left the room Matthews' partner spoke up. "You Brits think that this is your girl?"
Sirius exchanged a look with James before responding. "That's definitely my little sister. Everything about this Willow girl screams 'Hey look at me! I'm really your long lost little sister Michelle!'"
CRASH!!!!!!
The four men turned around to see Willow had dropped the tray with the pitcher of water and five glasses on the ground when she heard Sirius' declaration. "Sirius? Is that you?" Willow asked timidly, almost not believing that her older brother and his best friend were sitting in her living room.
Seeing the shell-shocked expression on his little sister's face, Sirius stood up and approached Michelle. Once he was on the other side of the sofa Shelly flung herself at him and the two of them landed on the ground hugging each other and crying for a good ten minutes. James, Matthews, and Johnson took care of the broken glasses and spilled water and gave the reunited siblings some time to themselves. Once Willow and Sirius had made contact with each other whatever memory spell had been placed on Willow broke and all of her old memories came tumbling back with such force she collapsed into a sobbing heap and was held up by her older brother.
