“You see, your mother and I met up a while ago at the store” Sirius tried to explain.
“But, she would be with dad then, you know, the dad in L.A.” Dawn interrupted.
“Not entirely true. She told me all about how her and her husband got into a fight. She had actually left him for quite some time, Buffy was young, she probably doesn’t remember. We hit it off and then started dating for a while. Eventually we, you know. I had to go into England to see Lily and James Potter, Harry’s parents. She didn’t want me to leave and said that if I left then she wanted to leave me. It hurt me too much, but I had to leave. It was the night Lily and James were killed. I tried to go and warn them. I wanted to tell her that Voldemort was coming for them, but she didn’t know that much about the Wizarding world. She only knew of a couple of wizards but she didn’t know I was one of them.”
“You’re my dad?” Dawn asked.
“Yes” he whispered.
“Am I allowed to call you dad?” she almost stuttered.
“It’s up to you.”

Dawn stayed up most of the night after she went back to the common room. She laid her head upon her pillow just thinking about what Sirius, her dad, had just said to her a little while ago. She just couldn’t believe it. The father-figure she knew in Los Angeles wasn’t even her father at all! Just a poser.
She wondered if her poser of a father knew about Sirius Black being her biological father. She was also thinking about the Scooby Gang back in Sunnydale and why no one came for her. They had just abandoned her, she decided. She did like it at Hogwarts but missed everyone back in California.
Thoughts swirled all through her mind like a big clouded energy ball. Speaking of energy ball, she was supposed to be a key. How was she formed into her mom’s tummy but only existed when she was a pre-teen? That was weird. She’d just have to ask her dad about it in the morning. Dad, that sounds nice. To have someone to call a dad again, wow, it was pleasant.
Dawn yawned and rolled over on her side. Her eyelids fluttered closed and she fell asleep.

Dawn woke up earlier than usual the next morning. She took her shower and got ready like she always did. When she walked down the stairs from her dorm, only one male was in the common room. Dawn recognized the white-blonde, gelled back hair.
“Hey Draco” she said.
“Hello Dawn” he replied as he turned around with a smirk on his face.
“You look so much like Spike.”
“Spike?”
“William the Bloody? You know, the vampire?”
“I’ve heard of him from Defense Against the Dark Arts.”
“He’s really cool.”
“You know him? You know a bloody vampire?! I forbid you to ever communicate with him!”
“First of all, I do know him because my sister is a Vampire Slayer. Second of all, he has a chip in his head that makes him a good vampire. Third of all, you can’t forbid me to do anything, you don’t own me” Dawn stated matter-of-factly.
“Your sister’s a Vampire Slayer?”
“Yea, she died twice too.”
“What?”
“On her prom night she had to face the Master and he drowned her, Xander resuscitated her; the second time, Glory, a Hell God, cut my stomach open and if I bled on the ground at a certain place and time it would open a dimension that demons would rule the Earth, well she cut me, and Buffy jumped off the platform and closed it up, dying in a bunch of mystical energy; Willow resurrected her just a few months ago.”
“Wow, what’s a prom?”
“A formal high school dance only juniors and seniors are allowed to, unless they invite a lower classman or something like that.”
“What do you mean, ‘cut you open?’”
“I’m a key. At that time, if a drop of my blood hit the Earth, that demon dimension thing would open. Sunnydale is over a Hellmouth. I have to talk to Sirius, I’ll see you later.”
“Bye” he said in awe. The girl was a key, her sister was a superhero. Wow.
~*~
“What’s going on?” Dawn asked Sirius. She had finally met up with him a little after talking to Draco in the common room.
“What do you mean?” he counter asked.
“I’m a key. I can’t be born from a woman like a normal human.”
“You were born normally. You were a human, born from your mother, but kidnapped as an infant. The hospital said that you died as an infant. Monks took you and raised you. They did things to make you become a key; you didn’t just take human form. You would’ve remembered them, but they programmed your mind to remember your family and friends as they are now. You were chosen for that reason, the family doesn’t know that you are the one born from Joyce, but the monks, Dumbledore, and I do and now you do also.”
“Oh” Dawn answered. At that time, six people stormed in. It was Buffy, Willow, Tara, Anya, Xander, and Spike. Buffy had a look that could kill; her baby blue eyes could pierce Sirius’ skin if she had some x-ray vision. She marched straight up to Sirius and slammed him up against the wall holding him up by the neck with her right hand around his throat.
“What the hell did you do?” she asked in a death tone.
