Salvaging from the Ashes

This is a Buffy/HP crossover. This is my first crossover with HP. There will be pairings as I adore love stories. They will be Anya/Snape Spike/Buffy as main pairings and Harry/Hermione and Ron/Luna as others. Just a warning: If romance bothers you I advise you not to read this. If I get a flame about too much love and friendship I will consider you a moron.

Disclaimer: Neither Buffy nor Harry Potter belong to me. Joss is a god and I am patiently waiting for him to cancel out the silly restraining order and tell his wife that he really is in love with me. JK is fabulous. Even though she makes me wait forever between books I still love her.

After Season 7 on Buffy. Please pretend that Spike never came back on Angel and after OOTP.

Summery: After Spike saves the world and died, both he and Anya are resurrected by the Powers That Be and sent to Hogwarts. Enjoy!

A disembodied and slightly eerie voice was speaking

"We are the Powers That Be but I believe we have made a mistake. We can rectify this, however. Two forces that once worked for evil turned to our light. They gave their lives for our own champions. Another world needs them now."

A second voice spoke

"But how can they help now? It is not our way to interfere with what has already happened"

The first voice responded

"It is our way now"

Harry Potter, happy to be back at Hogwarts and surrounded by his best friends was reaching for some of his favorite treacle tart when the walls began to shake and a high pitched ringing broke out. The students all dropped their silverware and covered their ears.

"What in the bloody hell-" Ron started to say as a blinding white light appeared and two people, a man and a woman, were thrown to the floor screaming. All the teachers rose and had their wands out and pointed at the two as the man cursed and the woman groaned. They both looked up in confusion at each other, then at the wizards all pointing their wands at them, and finally back at each other. The woman, shaken, spoke hesitantly to the man

"Spike? What's happening? Is it really you?"

The man, Spike, observed the woman carefully before speaking to her

"Yeah it's me Pet. Now what in the bleeding hell did you do Anya?" he said raising his voice to a shout "Where are we?"

"Me?" Anya exclaimed rising to her feet "What makes you think I know what's going on? The last thing I remember is getting stabbed by those freaks with no eyes and falling. What did YOU do?"

"I didn't do a damn thing Demon Girl" He snarled "Sure you didn't make a wish to one of your vengeance pals before getting stabbed?"

"I wasn't the one wearing a mystical talisman around my neck Vampire." Anya yelled angrily "Maybe YOU made a wish of your own"

"Umm.... Excuse me?" Professor Dumbledore asked, breaking into their argument

"WHAT" Both Anya and Spike shouted turning to face him.

"Would you explain who you are and why you just appeared in my school?" He asked calmly

"That depends" Anya asked as she and Spike moved protectively closer to each other "Are you evil?"

"As a rule no" He answered slowly. The two of them relaxed slightly

"Oh, well I'm Anya and this idiot is Spike" Anya said briskly

"Oi! That's the thanks I get for saving the world then?" Spike asked offended "I'm beginning to see why the carpenter left you at the alter."

After glaring at Spike Anya looked down at herself and froze

"Spike?" She asked in fear "I don't have any stab wounds."

Spike blinked and looked down at himself and said in wonderment "And I am not wearing the amulet. Last thing I remember was feeling myself burn. How in the hell am I here? And neither of us hurt at all?"

They both turned puzzled looks to each other before reaching the same conclusion and turning suspicious looks to the teachers.

"What did you do to us?"

The room got deathly silent as everyone observed the steely looks from the two strangers.

There is chapter one. I've only got about 7 chapters written so far but I wanted to get some feedback before I waste time on something no one is going to read. I have a feeling this is gonna be a long one so I ask for patience and any thought anyone has as to improve my story.

Thanks Selene
