*cheers for all the reviews, sorry about the lay out and grammer; having a problem with microsoft word* ************************************************************************ Harry quickly slid his wand back into his pocket, how was he going to explain that- "hang on a minute you're a witch" Harry exclaimed, "where's your wand?" how could she not be a witch, after the magic she was doing harry thought to him self. "Actually I prefer Wicca, witches aren't real!" replied willow. "No there are things such as witches and wizards, I'm a wizard and we use wands here have a look" harry pulled it out and passed it to willow to examine it, as soon as the wand came near willow it suddenly started to glow and float towards her. "What the!" willow said, not knowing what was going on. "I've never seen that happen before," harry quickly grabbed his wand from the air in front of willow and put it back inside his pocket "so does your wand do that then? Harry asked willow. "I don't have a wand" put in willow "I do all my magic through me". "Willow, whose that?" asked buffy, she had been standing there watching the conversation between willow and this teenager. "This buffy is my half brother harry, Harry this is Buffy and Dawn", harry couldn't believe it looking over to dawn she was beautiful. "Um hi, its nice to meet you both" harry said still keeping his eyes fixed with Dawns. "Willow how did you to get here? Weren't you in England?" buffy asked. "Well you see" began willow "I went to meet my aunt and to see harry, but the woman was horrible called us freaks and her sister, said she knew I would come looking for them one day", god she made me angry so I teleported me and harry to here. "Well then, its nice to meet you harry" and buffy wandered off into the kitchen to start making something to eat. "Willow how do you do magic with out a wand?" willow had to think about it really from what she understood harry wand focused the magic as a sort of tool and she used her self as a wand, "well instead of focusing my power through a wand, I focus it through my self" willow added pleased with her self that she worked out how a wand worked "wow, you must be really powerful, can you teach me?" harry really wanted to know if he could learn from his sister "yes I suppose I could teach you, but first lets talk I want to know about you!". The next few hours were spent talking about how harry had grown up and his school, willow was fascinated by Hogwarts and really wanted to visit, willow told harry all about her teaching her self to do magic, the hellmouth, and what had happened two years ago, after what harry had shared about his last year at school, they both seemed to have the same sort of lives and shared the same sort of pain. "Willow if your mother was lily, do you know who your father was?" harry has asked as the subject had never come up in conversation, " yeah said willow, Lilly left me a letter writing down telling me who she was, and who he was his name was Tom Riddle an-" but was cut off as harry suddenly jumped up. How could it be Voldemort the wizard trying to kill me all these years and he was the father of willow, but how could that be willow was nothing like him, then he remembered how she had spoken of her fall to pure darkness, my god but she wasn't the same as that monster, she had to know harry had to tell her "willow Tom riddle became lord Voldemort after school and started killing people, he's the one that murdered my- our mother after I was born, and has been trying to kill me since, he was feared by so many that they won't ever speak his name" harry continued telling her about Voldemort, in the end she was almost crying "Don't worry harry if he ever comes near you again ill kill him, I won't be so easy on him this time" harry was comforting his sister she had worked her self up into a fury when suddenly her last words clicked in his head 'I won't be so easy on him this time' "this time" harry asked, then willow went on to explain that she had had a run in with Voldemort the other night, and that she sent him back to where he came from. Harry was shocked but pleased, and that was the end of their conversation it was getting really late and harry was starting to feel tired " I think tomorrow I can start teaching you some wand less magic" and with that willow left harry on the sofer bed to sleep.

The next morning willow, harry, dawn, and buffy made there way to the magic box buffy needed to do some training with dawn and willow was going to start teaching harry. "That's it harry you have got to keep your concentration and emotions under control and you should be able to make the pencil do what you want" harry was catching on really fast willow had started the training easy just floating a pencil, it had taken harry about an hour to just get it to float off the table a centimeter now at the end of the day he could move six pencils around the room it a sort of flying pattern willow was really pleased, so for the rest of the summer willow had taught harry how to put up shields, and all defensive magic and harry was really good. While on the other side of the ocean no one had heard hide no hair from harry, they had all thought harry had been taken by Voldemort and were doing everything they could to find him with no such luck, the Dursleys were not telling them anything, just that one morning they had woken up and harry was gone and the next day so were all his things 'willow had magically collected them after harry had mentioned them' so all they could do was wait for news. It was almost the first of September, harry had lost track of the days and had realized that no one knew where he was, so he went off to find willow. "Willow I was just thinking, no one knows where I am and might be worrying", "oh my god, well that is bad who can we tell that you are here?" asked willow a little concerned because she didn't think to inform any one. "Well I should inform Dumbledore, I start school in two days and I haven't got any supplies yet!" after they had decided the best option would be to go and see Dumbledore, that way they could stay in London while harry gets all his supplies and go off to school in time and willow could look around diagons ally. "You ready harry" willow asked they were going straight to the castle, "wait willow you can't apperate in to Hogwarts, they have wards round the castle were have to go to the village and walk up" harry put in, "oh don't worry about that I'll get us through I don't want to run into a crowd of people asking questions" so with that willow started to gather power round her and they were gone.

Dumbledore was sitting at his desk running through scripts, there were too many things that needed doing, harry was still missing and he was still short a defense against the dark arts teacher but a thought in his head said theses problems will reveal them selves soon enough, and then all of a sudden was a crack of thunder as if the fabric of time it self had had a hole ripped in it, and there sitting in two chairs in front of him were the missing harry and a redheaded girl "lemon drop" offer Dumbledore, "oh thank you" willow helped herself to a lemon drop. "Its good to see that you are ok harry, and you miss", Dumbledore looked to willow for an answer but noticed she was else where gazing round the room at all the objects, "oh sorry, my name is willow, daughter of lily Evans and Tom Riddle" willow replied to the old man she had now only really taken notice of, he was wearing robes of some sort of material like silk but the color seemed to move like looking into oil when the sun shines on it and he had a long flowing white beard and a nice pointed hat, but willow was more fascinated by the office the bits and pieces that it held all looked marvelous, there on the side of the room there was a sort of bird perch but on the floor was a pile of ashes, it looked really untidy and out of pla-'what the hell' thought willow, "there's a bird in all those ashes" willow said not talking to any one in particular, "my dear that is a phenix, once a month a burns itself and gets reborn out of its ashes", willow walked over to the bird and started petting the bird, "phawks seems to like you miss willow, now then would you mind telling me how you got through the wards round the castle, as when we looked at the wards round Harry's house after he disappeared they were destroyed". "Sorry about that, I got a little upset; as for getting into the castle that was easy harry told me about the wards protecting the castle, and I didn't want to damage them by coming through so we took a different route, I broke a whole in reality and we crossed over then re-entered this reality right in your office. It takes quite a bit of power to do, but the theory of it is really".
