Please let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions post them as a review. Thank You!

Rating: Barley PG-13 minor, minor cursing. It's rated PG-13 just to be safe!

Note: This takes place after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and it is also written as if there was an extra season in between Buffy's sixth and seventh season. The only changes are Faith gets out of prison in this story and Willow does complete her magic control training, and Giles will be staying in Sunnydale for the year. Spike did get his soul back, and is crazy, but I am not writing him rambling so when he is brought into the story assume he is sane again.

Prologue

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, England (exact location is
unknown)

Professor Dumbledore is addressing the school at the start of term banquet after the meal. " I am sure you are all aware of the current circumstances that we are facing with the return of Lord Voldermort. Over the summer I have done my homework, and I have come to the decision that it would be best if we move our school out of the country." A murmur of disbelieve rippled through the Great Hall. " I have found a suitable location in the California town of Sunnydale. We will use portkeys to get there, and not to worry, we will have all that desire to be home for the Christmas holidays home. Your luggage has already been transported there. So if you will all go to your dormitories straight away you will find a portkey in the center of your floor. All of you are to gather around it, and as soon as you are all present all of you are to touch the portkey. You will be transported to our new location when your window opens. Whatever you do, do not let go of your portkey. You will not be happy if you get left behind."

" I can't believe this!" Ron Weasley said to his friends Hermione Granger and Harry Potter.

" I think it's best if we simply trust Dumbledore's judgment. I for one will be very happy to get out of the country." Harry commented. Harry had had a rough few months. Between Sirius dying, and then having to spend two whole months with the Dursleys, he wasn't loving being back at the castle as much as he usually would have.

"I think we should get to our dormitories. I don't want to know what will happen if we miss our window." Hermione was right. They did not want to know what would happen if the missed the portkey. Just as they got up to leave Dumbledore signaled that he had something else to say.

"I hope you can forgive an old man for his poor memory. I forgot to tell you when you arrive, please check in with your head of house immediately. They will be in your house common room. Now, please proceed to your dormitories.

Sunnydale, California

Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer was sitting in her living room with her sister Dawn, her friend Xander Harris, and her ex- Watcher, Rupert Giles. Her friend Willow Rosenberg just returned form a summer of recovery after she tried to destroy the world. Giles is sure she will be okay, but he is going to stay a year to make sure she's doing fine.

"So, do you really think she is going to be okay? I mean, do you think she can do magic and not go all black-eyed evil?" Buffy didn't want to sound like she thought her friend was going to go on a killing spree again, but she couldn't be sure.

"No, Buffy, I think she will be fine. I'm just staying incase she needs any help." Giles said. Then looking at the look on Buffy's face he added, " I will of course be helping you too if you need it."

"Nice save there Giles." Xander added his two cents.

Buffy ran up to the steps and started up them. "Buffy, what are you doing?" Giles called after her.

"If Willow can do magic, then I need her to do something for me."

Buffy walked into Willow's bedroom and sat down on the bed. "So, how ya doin' Will?"

"I guess I'm doin' good. It's just kinda weird being back. I mean I'm still a little scared of what I might do. But Giles said the only way to get over that is to try doing spells so if you ever need a spell done, don't be afraid to ask."

"Thanks Will. That's kinda why I came up here. Okay, you know that old building on Twelfth Street? The one that's abandon? "

"Oh yeah. I think it was a fire that took it out. It's been like that as long as I can remember."

"That's the problem, I don't remember it. It may have something to do with being the Slayer, but I don't remember it being there before this summer. Do you think you could do an age spell, and see how old it is?"

"Age spell, not a problem."

"Thanks Will. And it doesn't have to be now, just when you have time."

"I'll take care of it as soon as I get settled in."

"Thanks again Will."
