The Eighth Weasley

Set post-book seven. Voldemort is long gone and the dust is settling. So when the Weasleys are informed that a missing family member has been located, there is a great deal of excitement and nervousness as contact is made with said absentee from the family. However, when it transpires that the missing Weasley has connections with a certain Vampire Slayer, it goes without saying that Hogwarts will never be the same again!

Here's the second chapter of the Eighth Weasley, where there is a weeny bit of emotional upheaval in the air, due to impending revelations etc.

Chapter three of The Eighth Weasley, where things really start to get interesting - Willow meets Dumbledore and things go a bit...weird from there.

Chapter four of The Eighth Weasley - a reunion of sorts takes place between a wizard and a watcher.

Chapter four of The Eighth Weasley - a reunion of sorts takes place between a wizard and a watcher.

Chapter four of The Eighth Weasley - the Weasleys receive a letter from their lost one.

Chapter Seven of The Eighth Weasley - Giles gets contacted by an old friend and the rest of the Weasleys find out about their sibling

Chapter Eight of The Eighth Weasley - you expected me to keep the family on opposite sides of the world? Muahahah! I wanted the chance to be evil and make worlds collide and - drumroll please - this is where it really starts!

Chapter Nine of The Eighth Weasley - we have Buffy, a mystical entity. We have the vieweing public of the patrons of The Leaky Cauldron. We have Rita Skeeter in search of a story...what more could you possibly want?

Chapter Ten of The Eighth Weasley - We've finally reached THE chapter! You have no idea how thrilled I am to actually get this far into the story and still have an abundance of ideas. I have no idea how adopted kids react to meeting their biological parents, so apologies if this seems inaccurate.

Chapter Eleven of The Eighth Weasley - This has to be my favourite chapter in this series so far. It was all so spontaneous when I was writing it and those always seem to be the best ones. First, though, apologies for any character bashing that ensues later. Its not because I dislike any character, but it just...er...sort of fits in with the story. Also, we have some familiar faces popping up, just for all of my wonderful friendly Stoners (in the YGTS? context, of course!)

Chapter Twelve of The Eighth Weasley - Forget what I said in the notes for the last chapter about liking all characters. I forgot to mention that I violently dislike Harry, but – by some miracle – I managed to write him in a likeable way. Ah well.

Chapter Thirteen of The Eighth Weasley - Sorry to any Draco fans (and Collie! :-P). More Draco-bashing ensues here.

Chapter Fourteen of The Eighth Weasley - and the youngest Weasley kid has finally come home. Bearing in mind we have little/no clue what the Burrow looks like, I apologise for the lack of descriptiveness.

Chapters 15/16 (The Wicked Witch & An Interlude) - two fairly short chapters that look at life outside the Burrow, one at Hogwarts and one back in Sunnydale.

Chapters 17 - REUNION - Well, the title is a bit of a hint to what happens in this chapter. We also get a bit of a flashback to the night that Willow was snatched, because I'd been wondering about it.

Chapters 18 - THE DINNER PARTY - Willow is finally getting a chance to meet some of the more famous faces from the world of Harry Potter.

Chapters 19 - LIKE MINDS - another of the brief filler chapters in which two of our favourite witches get to do a little bonding and getting-to-know one another

Chapters 20 - SUPPLIES - I think the title of this chapter speaks for itself, no?

Chapter 21 - THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS - well, gee. Hmm. What could this chapter possibly be about? :)

Chapter 22 - HOGWARTS BOUND - Well, Willow does have to get from the train to the castle... and this was meant to be the chapter with the sorting in it...alas, it got a bit too big, so I split the chapters.

Chapter 23 - SORTED - I'd say this chapter speaks for itself pretty much. Willow gets herself sorted.

Chapter 24 - MEANWHILE... - This is a fill-in chapter, detailing what is going on back in good old Sunnydale, while Willow is having the time of her life getting settled in at Hogwarts. (I've adjust S5 to fit my own requirements, but most of it stays true. Apart from Joyce kicking the bucket)

Chapter 25 - BEST DAYS...? - Willow starts her classes and the eighth Weasley has a few more things to be nervous about than most.

Chapter 26 - TOIL & TROUBLE - Willow missed her first Potions lesson and has to have a one-to-one class with the master of the cranky and glowery. This is one of my favourite chapters in the series :D

Chapter 27 - WOLVES & WITCHES - Willow gets a visit from a certain...friend from home & Lupin gets the chance to meet another werewolf :) It was too cute to resist!

Chapter 28 - DARK WHISPERS - This is the chapter when I realised just what the core plot of this series was going to be. This is where we have a bit of a threat creeping in :D

Chapter 29 - SANCTUARY - This is where things start to get interesting and this is a big indulgence chapter for all us fangeeks who wish we could be told that HP is real :)

Chapter 30 - THE KEY TO WOLFY GOODNESS - This was a bit of a merging of two chapters to get two storylines mixing in together and to lead into the seriously big plot that is forthcoming.

Chapter 31 - CALL FOR D.A.D.A - A new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is called in. Dawn is assigned some further protection.

Chapter 32 - FRIENDS & FELLOWSHIP - This is where I start having fun and forming alliances. Please don't kill me. People have to get to know each other. And heck, my fic! I can write what I want :D

Chapter 33 - POTIONS VERSUS D.A.D.A - *snickers* This is another of my petty indulgences. Buffy = small, dainty, ditsy, blonde. Snape = big, looming, dark, glaring. Can't you just sense the friendly vibes coming off these people in waves? We just KNOW how much Sev loves his happy people :D (Fried, with a dash of salt)

Chapter 34 - MUGGLES & PUZZLES - a little more bonding takes place and a certain enmity is given a charitable sponsor :)

Chapter 35 - FORCES RISING - Muaha! Now, we get back into the actual plot of this baby! You thought I was going to let things continue on their peaceful line? NEVER! Muahaha! And I'm done :)

Chapter 36 - CONTROL - Herein we find out just what Buffy did to Snape, what happened to Spike's clothes and what a DADA class is like for Slay-gal.

Chapter 37 - GIRLS NIGHT IN - Quite a few lil threads on the go here: Billy is causing trouble for Minnie, the Prof & Red (the latter two especially). Snape is strung tighter than a lap-dancer's G-string. Serious things are going on outside the school. And Duncan...Duncan, that poor helpless boy gets interest from the place he least expects.

Chapter 38 - FAIR DARKNESS - Two Malfoys show face. Buffy feels out of touch with her Slayerness. Funky dreams and lotsa pain (for a couple of people at least) ensue.

Chapter 39 - LESSONS & LOGIC - The dream continues to pose a puzzle for our rabid band of hero-types. Glory is interviewing for her madcap army. Hogwarts gets some visitors. All in a days work, no?

Chapter 40 - POWERS GATHERING - does exactly what it says in the title, but lets just say that they're gathering in a way that some people find rather...awkward and annoying ;)

Chapter 41 - SHOW & TELL - Hagrid and Xander bond over firewhiskey. Bad idea. Buffy gets in a bit of a fix. Snape reasserts himself as an anti-social SOB. And Draco's big mouth gets him in trouble.

Chapter forty-two (egads...big fic...scary big fic...) - FUNKY SOUP - well, as the title says, there's soup that happens to be of an unfinished and untested potion variety and things go badly from there, shall we say ;) Just a warning - this is definitely a chapter of the Snape-centric variety. Also guest starring Dawn & Duncan (cos I adore 'em), Buffy and Giles.

Chapter forty-three - THE POWER OF TWO - herein lies the aftereffects of the Potion Buffy ingested, the two new trouble-makers up to mischief, Lucius doing some...interviewing (Slytherin style) and some other bits and pieces too.
