******Chapter 1: Welcome to Hogwarts******
It was a normal Saturday, until it turned crazy. Buffy was heading over to the Magic Box, as usual, to find all of the Scoobies there. She saw their expressions right away.
"You got it too?" She asked, sitting down.
"Yea, we're just not sure what to do." Willow said, looking at her letter.
"Now what's this place?" Anya asked, squinting at the print to figure out what it all meant.
"Hogwarts, magic and ministry." Xander said aloud.
"Anybody ever hear about it? Or been to it?" Buffy asked. Willow rose her hand slowly.
"Willow? You never told us about this place?" Buffy asked.
"Well, I only went there one year, until I got really home sick and never went back again. But I know plenty about it." Willow replied. "I'll show you around when we get there. And I swore never to tell anybody about the place."
"So why do we need to be teachers there?" Tara asked.
"Well, it says some of the people chosen will just be helpers around the place, since they need some back up in, you know, teaching." Xander said.
"Well we don't know anything about teaching." Anya stated.
"That's what the helper part means." Xander replied.
"But why all of us and not anybody else?" Buffy asked.
"Because they knew me and that I am the friend of the slayer. They figure a slayer could help out a lot around there. A lot." Willow replied.
"What about Dawnie?" Tara asked.
"She's attending it. 5th year at Hogwarts. I had to specially make sure when I got the letter that Dawn would be going too." Willow replied, again. "So... anymore questions?"
"Only one. Where, how, and why us?" Xander asked.
"In merry old England. I used to live there with my mom. I told you how and told you why us." Willow replied. "Now everybody up to it?" Everyone looked at each other, then nodded. "Good."
"We missing anybody out of this picture?" Anya asked. Spike ran in with a blanket over him, steaming.
"Dare to dream." Buffy rolled her eyes.
"A crazy bird just came in my crypt." He said, taking out a white owl from under his blanket.
"Uh... Spike?" Willow said, pointing to the letter in the owls mouth as it flapped it's wings wildly.
"Oh. Look at this." Spike grabbed the letter and read it. Expression turning from annoyed, from paranoid, to confused. "What's this all about, Red?" Spike asked.
"Tell ya later, just say yes." Willow said.
"I don't know." Spike said.
"Just do it!" Buffy snapped.
"Alright! Alright! I'll do it." Spike said, dropping the note and looking at the bird. "What's a white owl doing in Sunnydale? Looks beat."
"That's because it came in from England." Buffy got up and took the bird away from him. Spike picked up his letter again.
He read it out loud. "P.S. You may have Spunky, the owl. He's probably too beat to fly back to England anyways from the six deliveries."
"Hey, that doesn't say that on ours." Anya complained.
"Looks like I got me a new owl." Spike said, expression changed from annoyed from the owl to happy. But the owl wasn't.
"Spunky, eh? You're so cute!" Buffy cooed, petting the owl smoothly. Spunky seemed to like her more than the vampire.
"So when do we go?" Tara asked.
"Uh... tomorrow." Willow said, getting up.
"Oh my god! I have to go pack!" Buffy ran out the door.
"Oh my god! I have to go pack!" Spike mocked and put on his blanket, running out the door.
"I agree. Let's go pack everyone." Tara said and walked out as well.
"Doesn't anyone say goodbye anymore?" Xander asked.
******The Next Day******
Dawn was very excited about going to Hogwarts. She was jumping all over the place.
"Dawn! Sit!" Buffy yelled and pulled her big suitcase down the stairs, holding most of her clothes in it, followed by Willow.
"Come on, we have to get on the plane in an hour." Buffy walked out the door with her stuff and into a car, followed by everyone else that lived in the house. They drove away to the airport, meeting the rest of the Scooby gang there; except Spike and then boarded the plane. Spike had his ways on getting there with out having to stop, drop, and roll
******At the Train Station******
"Well. This is odd." Dawn said, after going through the portal. Then followed Xander.
"I'm OK, I'm OK!" Xander panted, frightened by the whole experience. Then came the rest of the guys.
"Thanks for holding up the line up." Buffy said, pushing past Xander. They got on the train and went in a cart.
"Uh... Dawn, there's not enough room." Willow said as they all tried sitting down.
"Look, I'll give up my seat." Tara said, getting up.
"No, that's OK. I'll just go in another cart. No biggie." Dawn said, getting out and seeing if there was an empty one. There wasn't, but she did find one that had a willing group of teens. "Hi, do you mind if I sit with you guys?" Dawn asked Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Sure." Hermione said, letting Dawn sit down next to Harry. Harry hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't like her, she was just new and yet so pretty.
"Haven't seen you around Hogwarts before." Ron implied.
"Oh, that's because I'm new. Came all the way from Sunnydale, California." Dawn replied. They had no clue where that was.
"Noting your accent, that's in America, right?" Hermione asked. Dawn nodded.
"Cool. Well that's new." Ron said, taking a big bite out of his chocolate frog.
"Ew, what is that?" Dawn asked.
"Chocolate frog. It's good. Want one?" Ron offered. Dawn shook her head. "So this is your first time at Hogwarts?"
"Duh, Ron. Oops, forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Hermione Granger, obviously that's Ron Weasley, and he's Harry Potter." Hermione introduced.
"He defeated the dark lord." Ron said. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"What?" Dawn asked.
"Well there's this warlock that is very powerful and can't be defeated. And he killed Harry's parents, but not Harry. So he was defeated, by Harry, about three times. To keep it simple." Ron hesitated. "And there's a scar on his forehead to prove it. Come on Harry, show us your trademark." Harry rolled his eyes and put up his bangs.
"Cool. It's a lightning bolt!" Dawn exclaimed.
"Yea. So what did you do on your summer vacation?" Harry asked.
"Well, went to my sister's funeral, was watched over by a vampire, then brought my sister back." Dawn said. They all looked at her.
"So... what?" Ron asked.
"You're not the only one with interesting lives." Dawn smiled, then looked over at Harry, who was staring at her, then turned away, blushing. She told the story of the Hell Mouth, leaving much carefully out that she is a key.
"Cool." Ron said. "Hey Harry, you haven't said much since Dawn came in, what's up?" Just then, Pig came flying down. "Not you again. I thought you were sleeping?" Pig squeaked and flapped around, landing in Dawn's lap.
"Awww! He's so cute!" Dawn cooed, petting him.
"Try living with him." Ron said. "So Harry, speak up!"
"Well... Dudley gained another 50 lbs. If that's hard to believe." Harry said.
"Is that all? You usually have more to say, Harry." Ron said. "Anything wrong... with Dawn?" Ron asked, catching on, looking at Harry's eyes as he kept glancing at Dawn. It couldn't have come at a better moment. There was a small crack in the cart's door and Pig flew out. "Stupid bird! Hermione, help me catch him!" Ron pleaded, running out the door. Hermione followed, leaving her cat to sleep on her coat. Dawn and Harry sat quiet for a while.
"So, any suggestions from who to stay away from?" Dawn asked Harry.
"Totally. Draco Malfoy. You'll see him around." Harry replied.
"So how are you?" Dawn asked.
"Good."
"You look it." They smiled at each other. Until Ron came in, struggling to hold Pig still, then accidently let him go again, letting him fly in Hermione's hair.
******Hogwarts******
"OK, I'm what now?" Xander asked Dumbledore in the small office. The Scoobie gang was there.
"OK, again, Anya helps Professor Snape in Potions. Buffy helps out in Muggle Studies. Willow is the librarian. Tara helps Hagrid in Care of Magical Creatures. And Xander and Spike work in Defense Against the Dark Arts." Dumbledore said firmly. Xander just starred at him.
"Um... Why??" Xander asked finally.
"We need a new teacher for it. And something always seems to happen to Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, so there'll be a back up for the class. OK, let's go have lunch!" Dumbledore smiled and walked out of the classroom. Willow quickly put the sorting hat on Dawn.
"Here, it'll tell you which group you belong in." Willow said. The hat yelled, "Gryffindor!"
"Is that good?" Dawn asked.
"Good'll Harry Potter will be in it. I'd hope so." Willow smiled. "Do you know who he is?"
"Yea. I sat with him and his friends on the train." Dawn replied.
"Really..." Willow winked at Dawn.
"Willow! I don't like him! Well, I like him, just not like-like, you know?"
"Whatever you say."
"Willow. I don't like him. And how would you know?"
"Because I didn't even say you did, and you're still bickering about it." Dawn glared at her and ran after Buffy. They entered the big room with candles floating above, tables everywhere full with wizards in training eating away. Dumbledore had went back to his office before, noting the sorting hat at what he said. He came back as the Scoobie gang stood in an aisle waiting for him so he could tell them what to do next.
"OK, adults go over to the tables at the front and eat, and Dawn, do you know what group you're in?" Dumbledore asked as the Scoobies walked away.
"Yea, Gryffindor. Where do I sit?" Dawn replied.
"It seems or grumpy, old sorting hat made a minor mistake. You belong in Slytherin, Dawn Summers. You shall sit over there." Dumbledore pointed his long, boney finger over to the Slytherin table. Dawn hesitated and walked over there, sitting by Draco Malfoy. He wasn't that bad looking, especially with his 'Spike' like hair. All of the boys there were eyeing her with compassion, which made her feel uncomfortable. Before, on the train, she and Harry had a great conversation together, not caring about Ron's mimicking. And now she was more far away than she thought from her three friends. Slytherin. What a revolting name. How could they stand it? She figured it out soon enough. They were all stuck up brats. Why did she get changed into this group? What good would come out of it? What's wrong with Gryffindor? They look a whole lot nicer.
Spike saw Dawn's unhappiness right away.
"What's wrong with the Little Bit?" He asked Buffy. Willow answered that one.
"She wants to be in Gryffindor with her other friends she met on the train. I don't blame her. I hate Slytherin. When I was here, I was in Hufflepuff. They are the best group I ever did see. But I got home sick..." Spike watched closely at every move the Slytherins made, to make sure nobody mistreated Dawn. Buffy joined in.
"What'cha guys lookin' at?" Xander asked, mouthful of chocolate turtles, pigging out on all of the wonderful food before him.
"No need to worry about it guys. If anyone pulls anything on her, I know a few demons." Anya offered.
"What's up with that one? He seems to be into Dawn a lot." Buffy asked, pointing at Draco.
"Not half bad looking either." Spike added.
"What's up with that one?" Tara asked, pointing at Harry, who was staring at Dawn, jealousy overcoming him with Malfoy's flirting with Dawn. Even though he was all the way across the room.
"Not half bad looking either." Xander said, stuffing more food in his mouth than he could handle. "This stuff's great!"
"I think we have some boys after Dawn." Willow said.
******To be Continued******
Next chapter of Hogwarts and The Scoobies: Malfoy tries harder to get Dawn's attention and atraction towards him and you'll see why she was reassigned to Slytherin. Buffy and Spike start getting closer, especially Buffy and Spunky and Xander and Spike start becoming more of friends throughout the chapters...
