"I still don't see why you agreed to do this. It's going to be awfully
hard to stay out of the sunlight here." Angel said as he walked next to
his wife.
"Relax. Maybe Dumbledore can put a spell on you to repel the sunlight or something." Said Buffy as she read the boarding signs.
"I'd feel safer in the dark." Angel stopped walking and looked at the signs. "What platform number are we looking for anyway?"
"Platform nine and three-quarters. Hmm...I think it's this way." Buffy walked down the platform with Angel in tow. She paused as she saw a large group of redhead's stop at a pillar. Then one ran at the wall, and disappeared.
"Platform nine and three-quarters?" Angel said as he walked towards the family.
Buffy ran to keep up, "I guess so."
"Excuse me. Could you tell us how to get through the barrier?" Angel asked the mother of the group.
The lady had long red hair and carried a large purse on her side. She looked up at the stranger next to her and her heart skipped a beat. He was incredibly handsome. He had dark hair and dark brown eyes. He wore black leather pants and boots, and a red satin shirt. He had all this covered though with a large leather duster. "Uh, are you going to the school?"
"Yes, we're new teachers there, but we've never gone through the barrier." Buffy said as she joined her husband.
"Well, it's quite simple. You see, you just run straight at the wall and don't think about hitting it, or you will. Fred, George, why don't you show them?"
"Sure mom." The twins said in unison. They took their luggage carts and ran at the wall, and just like that, disappeared.
"Cool." Buffy stated simply. "Thanks for the help." She grabbed Angel and ran at the wall. They went right through it and came out onto a train platform ready to leave. They quickly boarded the train and took their seats. Angel found a dark empty car and Buffy went to sit with some interested students.
"I can't believe they're all full." Ron Weasley huffed as he and his two friends searched for a compartment.
"Look! There's one!" Hermione Granger yelled out as she saw a door partially open.
"Great work Hermione." Harry Potter said as they filed into the little room. "Sure is dark though."
"Yeah, sure is." Ron said as he pulled out his wand. The others did the same. "Lumos." He said and the tip of his wand lit up. They flashed their wands around the compartment, and it was Hermione who found out that they weren't alone.
Angel slept in the corner of the room. The three kids stared at him, wondering who he was. Angel shifted in his sleep and they quickly extinguished their lights. What they didn't know was that he had woken up and was watching their every move.
"He looks wicked mean." Ron said.
"Yeah, like he's a You-Know-Who follower. I bet he's friends with Lucious." Hermione whispered quietly.
"Shhh...look, he does seem like bad news, but they wouldn't put him on the train if he really was." Harry leaned back, watching the strange newcomer.
"He probably snuck on. I bet he escaped prison!" Ron said in a hoarse whisper.
"Now, now," Angel said startling the trio, "That's not a very nice thing to say about someone you don't even know."
"H-how did you hear us?" Hermione stammered.
Angel leaned forward, "Great hearing and also excellent vision, especially in the dark. You with the red hair, I met your mother. Charming little lady she is."
"Who are you?" Harry boldly asked.
"I'm one of your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. Me and my Wife."
Angel watched the kids' faces turn to horror as he reached up and clicked on the light. Hermione was now cowering behind Ron, who was trying to fit behind Harry. Angel found this extremely amusing. Although he still had his soul, he still thought it fun to scare people once in a while. Suddenly they were all startled when three boys violently slid open the door to their compartment.
"Potter. Couldn't find a car without escaped convicts?" Draco Malfoy hissed.
"Shut up Malfoy." Ron snarled as Angel watched intently.
"Ohh...I'm so scared. The Weasley boy is going to hurt me. Boo hoo." Malfoy mocked as he and his minions laughed hysterically.
"Malfoy? Lucious Malfoy's son?" Angel asked.
"Yeah, what of it?" Malfoy stated boldly. He turned to face the man who addressed him.
Angel simply stayed seated, but leaned back and folded his hands. "I've heard a great deal about you."
"Really? You mean how much more respected I am, since I'm no filthy little mudblood." Malfoy shot a scowl at Hermione.
"No." Malfoy looked shocked. "I heard that you were trouble. You liked to get Mr. Potter here in trouble constantly, because you can't stand how powerful he really is. I was informed that you rarely follow directions, and that you constantly mouth off to teachers. Well, say hello to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I will enjoy having you in my class."
Hermione, Harry and Ron all had smiles a mile wide on their faces as they watched Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle violently leave the room. They looked at Angel who stared at them.
"Thanks." Harry stated.
"No problem, just don't think I like you. I don't even know you three, only your names." Angel got up and walked to the door. "I'm going to find my wife. Stay out of trouble." And with that last word, Angel disappeared.
"Relax. Maybe Dumbledore can put a spell on you to repel the sunlight or something." Said Buffy as she read the boarding signs.
