Disclaimer: I do not own anything, meaning Buffy the Vampire Slayer (that belongs to the almighty Joss, who is disguised as God). I also don't own Harry Potter (that also belongs to JK, who is disguised as a female version of God). But I do own the tiny little scraps of plot that appear here and there.

A/N: BEFORE you read this I'd like you to know that it would be extremely helpful if you knew about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Second of all I'm not going to be able to get the dialogue or anything like that exactly right for the bits of Buffy episodes I do use, so don't whine about it, I already know it's wrong.

Chapter 1 Hermione Granger, prize student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was running around her lounge room in a nervous excitement which could only be calmed by one thing: her collection of Buffy the Vampire Slayer videos. Over the summer Hermione had developed a love for Buffy and all her friends, a love that ended with a collection of key rings that she bought for a whopping fifteen pounds off the internet.

Finally, Hermione's wish for the day came true as she slid the video into her VCR and was greeted with the howling of a wolf which signalled the beginning of the opening credits for her favourite TV show. Hermione sat down on her comfy lounge and immediately became enthralled in the world of season two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As her favourite episode came to an end Hermione sat back in her darkened lounge room, closed her eyes and began to imagine what it would be like to be friends with Buffy.

*Hermione's wonderful imagination*

I walk down the hallway of a darkened Sunnydale High until I come across the person I had been looking for, "Angel, where have you been? We've all been looking for you." He begins to walk towards me with- wait, scratch that, Spike is so much sexier than Angel. Instead of just Angel being there, Spike can be with him.

I walk down the hallway of a darkened Sunnydale High until I come across the person I had been looking for, "Angel, where have you been? We've all been looking for you." He just walks up to me as I hear a commotion in the hallway behind me.

"Hermione, get away from him!" Buffy began to yell at me.

I turn around, confused, "What do you mean?" As I ask this I'm grabbed from behind by Spike who was lurking out of sight behind Angel. I gasp and I suddenly realise what Buffy was going on about, something happened to Angel, he was no longer on our side.

"What are you going to do now slayer? We've got your little friend here." Says Spike tauntingly, gripping me even tighter around the neck. I here several pairs of running footsteps as the rest of the Scooby Gang join us in this rather terrifying hostage situation. I see the looks of desperation on everyone's faces as they look at me, and their faces suddenly turn stony as the now evil Angel steps into view.

"Spike, shut it. So, the whole gang has turned up to see the show hey? That always happened. You know what always happened at those other shows that won't happen here?"

Buffy, the ever lasting smart arse replied, "The bad guy's gonna back down so he doesn't have to have his butt and ego kicked."

"No. Today you are all going to see one of your dearest friends killed." Angel smiles at me as if he's going to savour the moment. Spike's grip keeps on getting tighter, anticipating the kill. All of a sudden, all hell breaks loose as Buffy and the gang, as if they were a synchronised swimming team charged Angel and Spike. A whole heap of arse kicking ensued with Angel and Spike leaving, not before Spike gives me a smirk and a wink which is my death sentence; they're going to be back for me.

*end of fantasy*

Hermione's eyes suddenly flew open and saw that she had been day dreaming for almost a half an hour and that her precious tape needed to be rewound. She carefully put away her tape, got into her pj's and hopped into bed, ready for another day of Buffy immersion on the internet. As she waited to fall asleep Hermione wondered how on earth she was going to survive Hogwarts with out Buffy for months on end. Hermione realise that she only had two days until she had to go back to Hogwarts and resume being the nerdy girl she was.

But Hermione no longer obsessed about her school work, sure, she studied over the holidays and was sure that she'd still come top of her year at Hogwarts. Except that now Hermione had something else to obsess over, and that thing was, you guessed it, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Hermione was going to have to live with reading Buffy books and fantasising about the (only to Hermione the delusional) luscious Spike.

As Hermione drifted off to sleep she couldn't help but to resume one of her many fantasies that seemed a lot like the episode Lover's Walk but had her in it instead of Willow.

A/N: I will be back. Ginger -Ninja style!
