Welcome to The Hellmouth Harry Potter!

Chapter 3: Meet Lord Voldemort

"You say this girl knew about vampires?" Spike asked Angel, back at the factory.

"Yes. She killed one and kind of paralyzed the other. You don't think..." Angel said, as he walked in the room, thinking hard.

"We've got a new slayer in town. Apparently the one from down under kicked the bucket and we got ourselves a new playmate," Spike said, a weird grin on his face.

"Oh, we've got more than one dearies..." Drusilla said in a misty voice as she was laying on the table her eyes staring at the ceiling.

"What do you mean Dru? More than one slayer?" Angel interrogated Dru.

"New players... Here to play..." Drusilla let her head fall down from the edge of the table, so she saw the boys upside down, "and change all the rules."

"I believe she proves to be quite useful, Angelus," Lucius Malfoy said as he entered the room.

"Who are you?" Angelus snarled as he walked towards Lucius.

"Now, now, Angelus. Don't bite," Lucius shook his cane as a warning.

Angelus and lunged towards Lucius. But Lucius was quicker, he drew his wand out.

"Impedimenta!" A light shot out of Malfoy's wand and hit Angelus. Angelus continued to move towards Malfoy, only very slowly. Dru lifted her head from the table, looking worried. Spike laughed.

"That is so neat. Now make him go in reverse!" Spike said, highly amused.

Lucius laughed also. He unscrewed the snake shaped head of his cane and revealed a very sharp wooden end. He pointed his wand towards Angel. "Ennervate!"

Angel returned to his normal speed. He immediately attacked Lucius, took his cane, held his wand hand and began choking him with his hand. Angel began lifting Lucius in the air. Lucius seemed a bit scared. Angelus recognized his voice - he heard the man say the exact same incantation back at the alley.

"His blood will be just as warm after we hear what he has to say, Angel," Spike said in a rather irritated tone.

"I'm just making a point, skater boy," Angel said and let go of Lucius, who fell to the floor and gasped for breath. He turned to Lucius. "I can kill you," Angel said in a sing-song voice.

Lucius stood up. "If you couldn't, you would have been dead already. The Dark Lord wants to... work with you trio."

"Dark Lord?" Spike said, chuckling, "Who are you fighting? Frodo Baggins?"

"Don't laugh," Lucius said, his amusement gone, "as soon as the Dark Lord will come, we will explain everything. I promise. He had a few errands he had to do. That's what's keeping him."

"Sure. Come to my place. I'll call the rest," Buffy told Giles over the phone, not taking her eyes off Ginny. She hung up the phone. "Well. Everyone is meeting here. Good thing my mom is out of town for the week."

Ginny didn't say anything. She just sat there, lost in her thoughts.

Buffy sat down next to her. "Look, Ginny, just tell me where you're from."

"Ok," Ginny answered, "but only in the quid pro quo system."

"Fine."

Slowly, Cho stepped out of the bath tub, onto the pink bathroom carpet. She heard a hiss and the snap of teeth. "Dean?" she called in a questioning voice.

"I'm still here," she heard his voice from the living room and continued to breath, "though that was a close one."

Cho decided she had to do something. She was going to make a run for her wand. She hoped it wouldn't distract Dean. She decided to warn him.

"Dean? I'm going to run to your room now," Cho said and ran out of the bathroom without waiting for a response.

"Good idea there's a phone th -" Dean trailed off as he looked, amazed, at the snake. As soon as Cho announced her plan, the snake turned its head and began to move towards her. It was almost as if it understood what she said. "But that doesn't make any sense," Dean rationalized to himself, "It's just a snake..."

"Cho! Wait! It, it knows..." Dean tried to warn her, a second too late. Cho ran across the corridor towards the room. With perfect timing the gigantic snake lifted it's tale. Cho hit it and fell. As her face slammed into the white floor, the snake wrapped it's tail around her body and pulled her towards it's open, fanged mouth.

"All of us are from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I can't tell you were it is. I'm not exactly sure where it is," Ginny said while she was holding a frozen fish stick to her head at the place where she hit the ground.

"Whoa," Buffy cut in, "you mean a school of magic?" she said in a disbelieving voice.

"Yes. We learn about magical creatures, defense from dark magic, charms, spells, transfiguration, potions - the whole nine yards," Ginny said, sounding a bit bored. However, that impression disappeared as she narrowed her eyes and turned to Buffy. "Now what's your deal?"

Buffy figured the direct approach was the best. "I'm a vampire slayer."

"A what?"

"Looks like they don't teach you everything in that school of yours," Buffy said, gloating a bit.

"Maybe you're just not important enough to be taught," Ginny retorted acidly.

"Hey! I saved the world..." Buffy began counting with her fingers, "3 times!"

"That's nothing! Harry defeated the strongest evil warlock 4 times! And you two are at the same age," Ginny added, a satisfied look on her face.

"I need to make some phone calls," Buffy said as she got up giving Ginny a patronizing look. Ginny took no notice of it.

**************

"We are leaving now," Giles said very calmly, still holding the phone.

"Where are we going?" Harry demanded.

"Buffy's house. I believe we will be safe there," Giles said in a pacifying tone.

"Or it could be a trap," Harry answered.

"Listen to me!" Giles yelled so strongly that Malfoy woke up, "Think it over, Harry. You're in a strange town. I am the only person you know right now. I am offering to take you to meet all your friends and I give you my word that you can trust me. But there isn't much time. Someone wants us dead. If they attacked us they might have attacked the others as well. Don't you want to see your friends?" Giles finished his monologue and looked at Harry hopefully.

"Fine. Lead the way. But don't try anything," Harry said, his wand still aimed at Giles' heart.

**************

"Wake up, mate!" Xander said, imitating Ron's English accent as he hit him on the arm. Ron woke up, confused.

"What did you do that for?" Ron said as he rose to a sitting position. He was rubbing his eyes and was obviously still in dreamland.

"We have a situation. Apparently you guys are wizards and someone is trying to kill us all," Xander said in fake cheerful voice, "welcome to Sunnydale."

That bit seemed to wake Ron up.

Hermione lay awake in her bed, looking out the window. It began to rain. She saw a fork of lightning cut the sky in the middle. After a while she noticed that Willow wasn't in bed. Hermione assumed she went to the bathroom. She sighed. Hermione had an ominous feeling. She couldn't explain it. She remembered what she read about the town. The weird disappearances, the creatures, the hellmouth moving, existing beneath it... And Willow, who was really nice but knew about magic. She was obviously pretty powerful, which made Hermione wonder why she isn't at Hogwarts. Hermione wanted to see Harry and Ron. They made her feel better - they made her feel safe. And she wanted to see Ginny and the rest, to make sure they were safe...

Willow entered the room. "Get dressed, Hermione. We're going to Buffy. Hopefully there everyone will manage to understand what the heck is going on," Willow paused. "And there were attacks. But I think everyone is okay."

For the first time in her life, Hermione wished her theories were wrong.

**************

"He's coming! Our dark prince is coming!" Drusilla said, full of excitement. Lucius looked pleased. "He's coming with buckets. Buckets full of darkness... He wants to wash the earth with them. Make it clean."

The doors to the factory opened. The factory was immediately filled with the noise of the storm beginning outside. A dark figure stood outside the door. Next to it a body was hovering. There was a shot of lightning outside. The light illuminated the dark figure's face. Angel saw a snakelike pale face, with small red eyes, a flat nose and slits instead of nostrils. Lord Voldemort walked out of the storm into the factory. He was completely dry. Next to him an unconscious Professor McGonagall floated. The doors closed behind him. He reached the center of the room and turned to Lucius and the vampires.

"Hello, my friends," he said.
