The True Hero

The Reason Why

"Giles, you can't be serious."

"I'm very serious Buffy."

"You want me to go back in time a couple of years just to stalk a random boy?"

"Not just any random boy, he defeated Voldemort."

"I'm sorry, he defeated what now?"

"Voldemort. The most dangerous and darkest wizard there has ever been."

I rolled my eyes at Giles. It's not like it was big news. This happened in the past and apparently this boy was still famous for it. Horrible things happened to me all the time but have I ever got any recognition for it? Nope. I decided to quietly say the slayer speech quietly to myself while Giles zoned out reading a book.

"In each generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer."

Well......... that wasn't exactly true. Quite a few of my friends knew about me being a slayer and they would even help with most of it. I however, could not understand why I had sudden jealousy and hateful feelings towards this boy I had never met.

"Buffy?"

"Huh? Oh. Sorry, what were you saying?"

"The reason you're being sent back in time, is to protect this boy-"

"Protect him from what? He's already defeated Vold guy whatever-"

"Buffy. Let me finish."

I breathed and relaxed myself. Giving Giles the signal that he could carry on.

"Demons, vampires, Gods and Goddesses are going back in time to try kill Harry Potter. Now, he can't know about this because it will distract him from defeating Voldemort, so you must do your very best to not let him see them."

"But why are they trying to stop him?"

As soon as I asked it, I knew the answer. Voldemort had obviously planned to open the hell mouths in America and China.

"Buffy it is very important that once you're in the past in England, that you make sure Harry never sees you or speaks to you."

"Yes, Giles, I know the deal. I'm allowed to bring Willow and Xander with me right?"

"Willow yes. Xander would probably blow your cover. You must stay unnoticed to everyone. By tomorrow morning I will have a way for us to communicate. Now, you must rest. You leave in the afternoon tomorrow."

I nodded and walked away feeling exhausted. Being unnoticed was going to be hard considering how often I got into trouble. I decided to swear to myself that this weird school called Hogwarts, would not get blown up.
