This was cool. Thanks.

(Aw, man, you killed Ron. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through this next month.)

Very nice. I love how Cordelia's sphere of knowledge includes Druidic texts and Cosmo, but gets a little hazy outside of that. The mirror's a nice idea. (I wonder, do you intend it as a common form of magical communication, or one that only works for twins?) And Willow in Diagon Alley, especially pre-bad craziness Willow, shielding herself from official recognition and Aurors, is intriguing. Good job.

Hey, in 2000 Harry Potter was still for the kids and the nerds. Cordy liked neither. She wouldn't know what it was all about.

The mirror's a concept that's similar to the mirror Sirius gave Harry. They never said how it worked, but I was assuming it was a direct line of communication between the two, as opposed to the Floo Network. I think of Floo as a phone line, while the mirror's more of a walkie-talkie.

Oh, right, Sirius' mirror. *facepalms, is embarrassed*

Hey, in 2000 Harry Potter was still for the kids and the nerds.

True. I imagine Wes might know it, but if Fred hadn't arrived yet, and gotten over the cave girl thing, I guess he wouldn't have anyone to discuss it with. (Still, I can imagine Angel, Gunn and a whole pack of demons interrupting a fight to argue HP canon, and then being ashamed to admit they knew it.)

As far as I can tell, Dawn was the only Potter fan back then. She's the first one to bring out the Hogwarts reference. But Willow obviously was, too, if she knew about him in real life.

I liked this such a ridiculous amount of much that very doesn't cover it. I especially adore the idea of Harry Potter being real, and Jo's telling the story as a work of fiction. Makes me all happy.

Best way to cross them over that I could come up with, considering the Potter references in Buffy. He had to be real and fictional at the same time.

Thanks a lot for reading! I always love when people find my old work. I have plenty more fanfiction from various fandoms if you're interested:

♥ LOL that was freaking great - I love how you connected HP & BTVS... seriously excellent job..

and now I want more Cordy/fred though... :/

I really hope you'll post this to btvs_hp! ♥

[kanedax]

Thanks! I completely forgot about this.

If you'd like to plug me at the btvs hp site, I wouldn't complain. I'd do it myself, but it's such an OLD piece that I personally read it and think "wow, that's not very good".

As you can tell, Fred's still alive. Proof enough that it's pre-DH.

[flareonfury]

That's completely fine about that - I prefer Fred being alive - I'd rather Ron had died in the books... *heh*

Anyway thanks! I'll definitely rec you at the site!
