The Greater Power of Three

Chapter 7

Resurrections

“The sisters are heading to London,” Gideon informed them.

“And you didn't stop them!” said the young vampire.

“And tell them what, `You have to stay away so we can help take over the world?'” Gideon said sarcastically.

“Well it certainly puts us in a sticky spot,” said the black haired vampire, the young one's sire.

“So, is this child really as powerful as you say Gideon?” they young vampire's father asked from the dark corner of their meeting place. “Will he make a powerful wizard for our purposes?”

“With time Lucius and he is a witch by our standards, quite different from your type of magic.” Gideon told him.

“Mess up Elder,” Drucilla said as she sat on Draco's lap, “And you'll make a tasty treat.”

“How goes the plans anyway?” Gideon asked, “Are all three resurrections on schedule?”

“Of course they are or we wouldn't have called you hear.” Draco replied.

“Hopefully our masters will be grateful that we brought them back that they won't punish us for failing in the first place,” Lucius said.

“Speak for your self Father, the Dark Lord is the only one likely to do that, my loyalties lie with the Master now that I am a Vampire.” Draco said.

“I'm worried my self, The Source can be unpredictable.” Gideon said.

Drucilla stood up and clapped her hands, “Well, let's get started.”

“Hey mate, long time no see.” Ron said as he opened the door to find Harry and Hermione.

“Yeah, sorry I've been kinda MIA lately,” Harry said as they were let in to Ron and Luna's flat in London, “I've just been a bit busy lately.”

“So what's been going on?” Ron asked as he retrieved the Daily Prophet from the kitchen table, “It's been all over the news.”

Harry took the paper from Ron, it read, “Top Auror Quits, Job Too Much or Too Boring?”

He didn't need to read the rest, “I've been involved with another job, something that is a little more important then the average everyday criminal.”

“So you did quit?”

“I resigned yesterday.” Harry told him.

“So what exactly is more important anyway?” Ron asked.

Hermione suggested that they show Ron, instead of just tell him. They went to the Leaky Cauldron where incidentally Ron was meeting Luna for lunch as was Willow with Harry and Hermione.

They decided to have lunch together. Willow was introduced to Ron and Luna.

“Well I'm glad not all Brits are stiffs like Giles,” Willow said.

“I didn't think he was that bad,” Hermione said.

“Well he's not as bad as those of the old Watcher's Council,” Harry said.

As they were talking a group of six, including a small child, entered the Leaky Cauldron.

“I'm telling you Paige, just because it says The Leaky Cauldron, doesn't actually mean anything,” Phoebe said.

“Phoebe's right, it's probably a coincidence,” Piper said.

“Actually Paige is right,” Chris said, “This is THE Leaky Cauldron.”

Harry couldn't help but listen to their conversation. He concluded that they weren't witches from the Wizarding World, if they didn't think The Leaky Cauldron would be an actual place. Most likely the youngest looking girl out of all of them must have read his books. Probably the same kind of witches like Willow, who lived like muggles.

“Oh my Goddess!” Willow exclaimed when she saw what Harry was looking at.

“What?” Hermione asked.

“It's the Charmed Ones.” Willow said.

“THE Charmed Ones?” Harry asked, Willow nodded. (Ok, so the Wizarding World has been keeping tabs on the other witches too, so sue them) “Boy whatever is going to happen must be really big if the Charmed Ones are in this too.” Harry got up from the table and made his way over to the Charmed Ones.

“So, what brings you to London?” Harry asked casually. The sisters were stunned by Harry's approach that they hesitated in answering.

“We're, ah,” one of them started.

“Vacationing,” The oldest out of the two men said; the one that was holding the little boy.

“Well then, perhaps you will need a guide, the Wizarding World is quite different from your own,” Harry said.

“How do you know we are not from the Wizarding World,” Piper asked.

“If you forgive me for ease dropping Ms. Halliwell, I noticed you didn't think this place was real, as in from my books,” Harry replied.

“Your books?” Paige asked.

“Well I didn't write them,” Harry said, “Harry Potter at your service.”

“You're real?” Phoebe asked.

“Quiet real, in fact I believe the questions you seek lie with me and my company.” Harry nodded towards where the others were sitting. “Perhaps we could talk in a more secure place, we were just about to leave to go to Slayer Central, where the Vampire Slayers reside, care to join us?”

As they all entered the mansion it was eerily quiet. The sun was shinning through the windows and some breathed sighs of relief when giggles could be heard from upstairs.

Girls!

Upon hearing them arrive Andrew came to great them.

“Great more people.” Andrew said, “Buffy told me to tell you that due to the fact that someone doesn't want to burst into flames, again, they are all in the basement.”

“Thank you Andrew,” Harry turned to Willow, “Could you show everyone the way, I have to have a word with Andrew.”

“Sure, no problem,” and she left with the others.

“I'm not in trouble am I?” Andrew asked.

“No, I just need you to do me a favor, as part of your training, if you want to be serious about this. I want you to go up to the library and find out everything you can about The Charmed Ones, can you do that?”

“Are you sure you want me doing that?”

“Positive. Now go get started.” Harry said as Andrew headed for the stairs, Harry then turned and went for the basement.

“Of course good ole Weasley got a visit from Daddy, apparently he and some of the old Watchers are reforming,” Spike could be heard as Harry descended the stairs and into the basement.

“Wyndam-Price?” Harry asked.

“Yes,” Giles said, “Roger is his father.”

“Well I won't say that I sorry that their council won't work.” Buffy said, “This is a new era of Slayers, one that dose not need to be controlled by the old ways.”

“Ok,” Hermione said, “The question is now, is what is so big and evil that three different societies are thrown together.”

“Three?” Xander asked.

“As you may have noted we have new faces among us.” Harry said, “We have the Charmed Ones in our presence.”

“Huh?” was all that came out of Buffy.

“There're my kind of Witches,” Willow said.

“Yes, very different from our kind,” Harry said.

“Where is Andrew? It's too quiet.” Xander asked.

“I sent him on a little project of sorts, not that I need the information. You saw how he acted yesterday to Hermione being here, now that the whole `Hogwarts Trio' is here.” Harry said pointing out Ron in the room.

It was well over an hour that they took for everyone to get on the same page. They were about to head upstairs, with a temporary charm placed on Spike to prevent the sun from harming him, when Harry slapped his hand to his forehead. He gritted his teeth to push though the pain.

“Harry!” Hermione tried to get his attention, “What's happened?”

Leo heard the usual chime from above his head, “I'll be back, I'm being called, and it sounds really urgent.” And with that he orbed away.

“Bloody hell, I can't believe it!” Harry managed to say.

“Please don't say it,” Hermione said as blood was starting to spill from beneath Harry's hand. There was only one reason in the entire world that would make Harry's scar hurt, only one and he was dead. “Don't you dare say it Harry!”

“It's not possible.” Ron was saying.

“Can some one please tell us what the bloody hell is going on?” Spike exclaimed.

Finally after a few minutes the pain slowly diminished. It was then that Leo orbed back down.

“Someone has resurrected the Source,” Leo said bluntly.

“Oh, is that who the ugly guy with the black eyes that burn with fire is,” Harry said sarcastically, “And here I thought we might have to do some research.”

“Harry this is no time to be sarcastic,” Hermione said.

“Sorry luv, just my new way of getting pissed off. Only way to control my magic from doing anything after what I just saw.”

“Well what did you see?”

“Voldemort, some other ugly gut who I assume is the Source, and the Master. They have been resurrected.”

“The Master, as in THE Master, the one who killed me?” Buffy asked.

“One in the same.” Harry replied.

“Well as least we now know why we have been brought together.” Spike said.

~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

The Source had taken the form it had before he took the form of Cole, he was ugly and scared.

Well truth be told all three of them were ugly. They were listening to their servants as they were being caught up about what has been happening in the world.

“I will taste the blood of every Slayer there is,” The Master declared, “No matter how many there are!”

“It amazes me, you are an Elder, yet you are willing to serve me.” The Source said.

“I'd rather not be on the losing side in the end.” Gideon replied.

“What about you Lucius, are you still loyal to me?” Voldemort asked.

“Of course My Lord, I will always serve you.”

“Then we shall all work together.”
