Harry and Faith

"I am not trying to be sexist," Harry said "I am just trying to keep her safe are you telling me you wouldn't do that for your sister? Or Buffy or some of your friends,"

Faith knew that Harry was right but she wouldn't admit to the fact that he was right as she had lost people she had cared for as had Buffy as they had tried to protect their families as best they could and they had done but Buffy had lost her mom, Angel had lost his son and Cordelia, Spike had lost Fred even though he didn't love Fred he had feelings of wanting to protect Fred.

"I understand that," Faith said "but you cannot protect her from everything,"

"And you cannot be everywhere," Fred added "you cannot be expecting to be every step of the way to protect her,"

"It is my job to," Harry said "I promised myself I would keep her safe what good am I if I cannot even do that for her?"

"You are the boy who lived," Faith said "that's what you told me you where the boy who lived and the man expected to win, then be that man and protect her as best you can and that is what you are good for,"

Harry nodded at this and knew that they where potentially right and that he would have to talk to Hermione when she came back.

Kane

"What are you here for?" Gabrielle said "why now you haven't shown any interest in coming to see me in this form why do you need to turn up now,"

"I need you to help me," Kane said "I am human in this form, human emotions and everything I am starting to fall for a human and I have no idea what that means at all."

Gabrielle smirked at this,

"So the big bad angel of death came to find little old me," she said sardonically "this isn't 1000 years ago where you can just turn up on my doorstep and I let you fall into my bed if that is what you are here for."

"No," he said shaking his head "this girl drives me to insanity, I think I have a purpose with her a reason for being connected to her almost like a higher up wants me to protect her and I am protecting her but I don't know why."

"Angels to not love humans." Gabrielle said "that is the one rule that we have and you know that we defend them, we protect them but we do not fall in love with them and you are going against our own rules,"

"I know," he said "but there has to be a purpose to it, hell she is Harry Potter's best friend her life is bound by fate as much as his I wouldn't be surprised if she was going to be an angel one day but for some reason I feel a bond to her, it isn't normal."

"It is love you big idiot," Gabrielle said chuckling at the fact death was baring his soul to her and she couldn't help but laugh, he was meant to be the scariest being on earth yet he could be so human some times. "You are human aren't you? I mean you have a beating heart and the rest of it?"

"No," he said "not like a normal human's because I am death it doesn't it beats like a death knell and that is it my heart doesn't race when I see her, I am dead so my palms don't get sweaty or whatever else happens to these humans when they are attacked by these emotions of love and lust."

"Yet you know enough about them still from when we were together," Gabrielle said "do you not miss it? When we were more involved in the wars? We practically ruled the world."

"Then we were told to stay out of it," Kane said "and you still are, I am only involved because this war could kill all magical people I am the best way of preventing that,"

Then he raised a hand and it glowed with fire and then stopped.

"What was that?" Gabrielle asked

"Protecting Hermione from the Weasleys," Kane said "the youngest boy and the twins where chasing her so I did the wall of fire idea from when we fought in the holy wars."

Gabrielle smiled, even though she could tell that her chance with Kane, whatever it had been was long gone, they had been the only angels to ever have a relationship that had lasted almost 500 years before they stopped seeing each other as the angels where called back from earth especially death as there had been an increase in wars that he had fought in and the higher power had pulled them all back. Looking at him now though it was obvious that he had changed, he wasn't as monstrous as he use to be, he was showing human emotions hell he cared for a human and now Gabrielle decided she would help him.

"Ok," she said "how does it feel when you are with her, if you don't feel human?"

"I feel like I would do anything for her," he said "I would die for her yet I don't want to be close to her as she human and she will wither and die like humans do and I will be left alone."

"You are selfish then." Gabrielle said "it isn't for her it is for you that you don't want to be with her in case you lose her and you idiot you are the angel of death you can lock her soul into her body and give her immortality like you have done to people before, I can tell you have broken the curse on Angel and locked his soul in his body now get over yourself and tell that girl how you feel."

"Yes Ma'am," Kane said and turned to leave

"Death." She said "have you told them who that body is?"

"Yes," he said "Kane Leonidas Potter, but this time the smaller army will win, this won't end like Sparta,"
