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 successfully flees the country, Sirius and James arrive in Sunnydale and Willow is reunited with her big brother!
-o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o-
Willow and Sirius sat in silence in the living room as they listened to James and the American MFBI Agents putter around the kitchen giving them some privacy.
Willow shifted her position so that she and Sirius were now facing each other. "How old are you now Siri?"
"Nineteen pet. Regulus is seventeen, which means you are too." Sirius sat back so he was back to back with the couch. "So you were starting to remember who I was? Or was it my dashing good looks that gave it away?"
"I've been dreaming about that night Captain Ego." Willow mock punched her brother in the shoulder. "You look almost the same. You're just a little bit taller than I remembered, but other than that you seem the same to me Ry guy."
A huge smile light up Sirius' face when Willow called him 'Ry guy'. "You just called me Ry guy!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Is that a problem?" Willow asked alarmed. "Because if it is a problem I won't call you that. It just slipped out! I'm sorry if I said anything offensive…" Willow's rant was cut off when her brother shoved a piece of Drubbles Best Chewing gum in her mouth.
"It's not a problem Red. Nobody's called me that since you and Lizzy were taken. It's nice to have some family other than Cousin Andromeda who doesn't hate me completely."
Willow looked shocked. "Our whole family hates you! Why? Did you kill somebody? Did you not marry somebody mother wanted you to marry?"
Sirius shook his head. "Nothing like that Shell. I'm just your plain old run of the mill blood traitor who would rather spend time with Muggleborns than spend time with pure bloods. All I did was get sorted into Gryffindor and get blamed for not protecting my baby sister from a bunch of Muggles."
"It's not your fault! The Watcher's Council guys had guns and syringes with drugs to knock us out with them! There was nothing you guys could have done to protect me and Bu-… there was nothing you could do Ryan. Don't beat yourself up over stuff you had no control of. When my re-ensoulment spell back fired in June I didn't beat myself up. I cried for a couple of hours and then picked myself up out of my hospital bed and went back to bed."
Sirius stared at his little sister. "Who did you try to re-ensoul? That's a very dangerous spell Michelle. If it doesn't work it strips the caster of their soul and magical abilities. If it hadn't worked you wouldn't even be sitting in front of me." Sirius stood up and was pacing. Willow decided to let her brother rant, after all he knew more about magic than Giles did. "You'd be in a coma in the hospital. Wait a tic. Why the bloody hell were you in the hospital in the first place Shell?"
Willow bit her lip nervously before she answered Sirius. "Well Bu-… My friend was dating this guy, and he turned out to be a vampire." The angry red coloring that was on Sirius' face drained instantly. He opened his mouth to say something but Willow held up her hand. "Let me finish the story first Ryan. Then you can rant and rave." Sirius nodded. "Good. So on her seventeenth birthday my friend," It hurt too much to mention Buffy's name to her brother at the moment. "And her vamp-tacular boyfriend slept together. He lost his soul afterwards while she was still asleep. The next morning she woke up and he was gone, she just figured he left to give her some privacy, so she got up and left. Over the course of the next couple of weeks we learned that Angel, her boyfriend, had turned evil and resumed his killing activities with his childer Drusilla and William the Bloody a.k.a. Spike. Angelus killed countless people in Sunnydale; he killed Miss Calendar, my teacher and Mr. Giles' girlfriend, sent his minions to attack me, Xander, Cordelia, my ex-boyfriend Oz, and Giles. The minions took Giles and Angelus tortured him to make him reveal how to awaken Acathla to send the world to a hell dimension. Buffy came in and tried to help us but Cordy and Xander sent her after Angel to save Giles."
Sirius was thunderstruck. His baby sister had met THE Angelus and LIVED! There were rumors that Lord Voldemort wanted to recruit the Scourge of Europe and his childer to his ranks. Sirius knew if that happened the Dark Lord would have his throat ripped out within a week because Drusilla the Mad wouldn't like the way Voldemort addressed her 'Daddy'.
"I was trying to re-ensoul him using the original gypsy curse, Miss Calendar had it translated so I could use it. Buffy killed Angel and sent him to Hell before she disappeared. Giles said that Spike helped her so he could get Dru back. We haven't heard anything about Buffy since then, and Angel…" Willow inhaled deeply and fought back some tears, "Angel…he's still gone. I guess the re-ensoulment spell worked because I can still float pencils, and I'm pretty sure I still have my soul. I just wish I knew what happened to Angel. Xander hated him because he had a thing for Buffy, but Angel helped me with my Wicca stuff. He said his sister had gone to Hogwarts, and he liked to help her with her homework during the breaks. And if talked about Kathy with me it meant something, because he never told Buffy anything about Kathy or his family."
Sirius pulled his little sister into another bone crushing hug and held until she stopped crying. Well that was his plan until some bloody idiot rang the doorbell. "Ignore it Wills." Sirius had very quickly accepted that his sister still preferred to be called Willow. "It's probably one of those whatchama call it's… a salesman! That's probably who it is."
As if to prove Sirius wrong the doorbell rang again and Xander Harris began to pound on the front door calling out "Willow I know you're in there! Cordy and Giles are out here with me and it's sweltering out here! Let us in!"
Willow gave her brother her 'you were saying look' and went to open the front door. Xander's voice had brought the other men out of the kitchen back into the living room.
Willow opened the door and Xander fell into the house. "Thanks Wills." Xander said from his face down position on the floor.
"Hello Willow." Giles and Cordelia entered the house and stepped over Xander. "I see you've managed to find clothes that won't stop traffic." Willow blushed. Giles had noticed she had changed into khaki Capri's and a brown long sleeve tee.
"Yep. I figured that there were enough deaths in Sunnydale so I decided to change so there wouldn't be any more dead people."
Cordy looked around the room and said "Where did all of these cute guys come from Willow? Can I have one?"
"Hey!" Everyone looked over at Xander. "Perfectly good boyfriend sitting on the floor over here!"
"Oh yeah. I forgot I came over with you." Cordy snapped back as pulled on a sweater that matched her sleeveless cotton candy pink sweater dress.
"Enough already! Cordelia does have a point Willow. Who are these men?" Giles asked.
"Well… Giles you remember what we talked about this morning?"
Giles nodded. The conversation was still fresh in his memory seeing as that Willow had been very adamant about discussing her dream that early in the morning.
"Yes. I find that will be a hard conversation to forget for a couple of days."
Willow grimaced a little. "Sorry. But anyways, this is my older brother Sirius." Willow grabbed his arm and pulled him over so they were standing side by side. "Do you see the resemblance?"
Giles, Cordelia and Xander looked at the two of them. Truth be told there was a very small resemblance between the two Blacks. The only thing that could be seen in common was they had the same nose, Giles thought they had the same facial structure. After that any similarities ended there. Willow had bright red hair that went just past her shoulders, hazel eyes, pale white skin that was surprising since she lived in Southern California. She was average height just hitting the 5'4" mark. Sirius however was the opposite of Willow. He had jet black hair that just reached his shoulders, bright blue eyes, pale skin with the beginning of a tan, he was just about 6 feet tall, and had the 'dangerous rock star' vibe while Willow gave off the 'bookworm smart girl hiding from the mean girls' vibe.
"Totally seeing that Wills." Xander said. "So he's your older brother. Why haven't you pulled him out to introduce him before now?"
Sirius smirked he was going to like this Xander. "Because I live in London. Where our other brother lives with our parents."
"Wait a second. Willow lives here with her parents." Cordy started, "Not in London with you or another brother. Because I would have definitely noticed if Willow had two absolutely gorgeous brothers."
Willow guessed that Cordy had assumed that James was her brother as well and quickly tried to fix that assumption. "James isn't my brother Cordy…" started Willow, but James quickly interrupted her fully intending to cause some mischief.
"I'm her fiancé. See our parents got together when we were kids and arranged a marriage contract between the two of us."
"Good Lord!" Giles took his glasses off and began to clean them to the point that he pooped the lenses out of the frames. Xander sat down in shock with his mouth opening and closing looking like a fish out of water. Cordelia just let out a shriek in disbelief.
"You… You… You and the Willster are ENGAGED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Xander finally managed to choke out.
James nodded. He walked over to Willow and threw his arm over her shoulder and winked. Willow caught on. "Michelle and I have been engaged since we were six and three. Right Shell?"
"You got that right Pookey-Bear," cooed Willow. "Now that we're reunited we can plan our wedding!" James hid the grimace that had tried to come forward with the irritating nickname Willow had thought up.
"GILES!!!!!!" Xander yelled "DO SOMETHING!!!!!! Willow's not old enough to get married. Besides, I don't like this James guy now."
Giles just stuttered and disappeared into the kitchen to make some calls to the Council, of course he would call collect to stick it to Travers and his sissy-men on the Council.
Cordy seemed to already be planning the wedding for them. "Willow when you get married you're definitely going to need me to be your wedding planner and a bridesmaid. Trust me when I tell you yo go with an ivory dress, it will look good with your complection."
"Oh. Okay then. I'll remember that when we get to London, Jamie-Bear. Ivory colored wedding dress for me it is!" James suppressed another shudder; one wedding had been enough for him. Lily had just come short of being categorized as a Bride-zilla.
Sirius watched his best friend squirm for a bit before his cell phone went off. "Black."
It was Lily on the other end looking for James. "Oh, Pookey-Bear!" Sirius sang.
"What do you want Padfoot?" Cordelia had stuffed the 'engaged' couple on a sofa and was planning their 'wedding' for them. Surprisingly Cordy was a talented event planner, and if Willow ever did get married for real Cordy would be the first person, after Buffy of course, to know. "Your sister Lily is on the phone. Something about our mutual bald snake like friend. Sounds kinda important."
James was up off of the couch at light speed, grabbed the cell phone and disappeared down the hall for a while.
Once James was gone Willow relaxed. She had been a little tense due to her brother's friend's announcement, and had been unsure her friends would buy the story. It was incredibly surprising that they did believe her.
"So Will are you really getting married to this guy?" Xander inquired.
Willow looked at Sirius and smirked. "No. Oh no you don't! You are not turning this prank around on James Michelle!"
"Watch me! I'm a wild and crazy woman!" Willow shot back at her brother.
"Then let the record show that I was against this from the start and fought you to convince you otherwise."
"So that means you're not getting married?" Cordelia sounded sincerely disappointed.
"Yup. James is already married and is expecting his first baby any week now. Lily is his wife and she's on the phone with him now." Willow said.
Xander caught on quickly. "So when this James guy comes back we play dumb and act like you haven't told us anything. Good. I can do that Willster."
Giles had missed the truth, so when he returned from the kitchen he looked a little flustered and annoyed. "Bloody operator wouldn't reconnect me to the Council in London. All because Quentin threw a hissy fit."
Six faces turned to Giles, the three from the Scoobies were curious as to why Quentin Travers threw a hissy fit at his age, the two American Aurors were surprised that a Muggle could link them to this mysterious 'Council', and a very pissed off Sirius Black looked like he could rip off Giles' head.
Seeing the expression on Sirius' face Giles exclaimed "Dear Lord!" and took cover behind a wall as Sirius lunged after the Watcher.
