CYA STATEMENT: The Buffy-verse belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. J.K Rowling owns anything HP-wise. The unfamiliar things such as a spell or to I came up with so don't take them unless you ask me first. Got it? Good.
Prologue
It was a some-what normal day for the young slayerettes.
Anya was still trying to get revenge on dear Xander for leaving her at the altar on that March day. Willow, having just returned from England, was still very depressed over Tara's very traumatic death. And Buffy was yet again job hunting since her job at the Doublemeat Palace was non-existent since one of the trainees Kristen started a fire in which lead to the result of the place being burnt down.
At the moment, they were all over at Buffy's much-need-of-a-clean house and making a very bad attempt of cheering up from their very crappy lives, "Xander if you don't get on your side of the couch I'll-"
"Oh shut up Anya, you can't do anything to him because of the whole person-has-to-make-a-wish first!" Willow moaned at her, while at the same time wondering what the newly turned again demon would do to him THIS time.
The two had gone over their boundary ends of the couch and now where at each other's throats, yet again. It was probably the fifth time that week and it was only Tuesday. However, what would one expect when ex-lovers were in the same house together?
Getting out of the way of the zeppo and the demon, Willow started a conversation with Buffy so they both didn't have to listen to the rather annoying fighting. "Buffy, did you feel this way when you lost Angel?" They were tremendously cautious of this because it was still a sore subject for Buffy to talk about. Especially since Xander had gone to LA after Willow's evil spree and found out everything from since they had last talked to the LA group. This meant Buffy knew about the whole Darla and Connor thing. Also when she had started to recover from that knowledge her father had cruelly taken Dawn away from her custody after he found out her Mom was deceased and Buffy was without a "proper job" as he had put it. Now only Willow lived in the house with her now while Xander and Anya lived on their in separate places in town.
"Well... It actually depends on whether or not it had been one of the days we used to see each other you know? 'Cause remember how him and me had a little schedule and everything? Even though Sundays were is a day off that was the only day it didn't burn to breathe. Now the rest of the week was like pure hell. It took me a long time to heal, but I did and I'm stronger for it."
Before Willow could respond to her odd ramble of how weird that all sounded, a crazy-looking shaded owl flew into the living room and it started attacking them it seemed. It took a couple minutes to get the bird to let go of the papers.
"Ha! I mock you. I got whatever this is so take that you devil-like bird." Buffy said triumphantly.
Each letter had their own names on it in cursive, green ink and the paper looked as if was about to tear because it was so old and yellow looking. They all soon discovered it was from this place called Hogwarts. Giles had said that's where he was while he had been in England but only knew the principal guy.
"Assistant teacher for...POTIONS? Well gosh that kinda sounds like chemistry all over again, I wonder if there will be anybody I have to like quote un quote "mate with" because of smartness or whatever…"
"Defense against the Dark Arts? Wow... I just can't figure what I am... co-teaching? Wonder who the unlucky person is? What about y'all?"
"Oh that's super cool Buffy! I got Care of Magical Creatures…mortals make no sense to me!"
"Charms, why'd I get the lame one?! I'll trade ya Buffster"
They all looked at each other more or less shocked about the newly acquired information. Buffy, finally after a couple of seconds went to phone Giles, the only person who could possibly explain this. She didn't care if it was about midnight over there in England.
Buffy hung up the sparkly green dial phone as she finished her conversation with a very tired Giles, then headed back into the living room where the rest of them waited to hear what their 'father' had said, "Well, we have a flight to London on Friday that Giles has paid for, he's gonna explain everything to y'all there, we are to meet him at the airport" The four of them looked at each other for a few seconds, each with a huge grin on their face, before rushing to their own rooms to start packing.
-Meanwhile-
"So you're just gonna move to Hogwarts now? What will you be teaching exactly again?" Lorne questioned Angel. Angel had just gotten the letter after seeing Cordelia and Connor doing the sex thing and Lorne was concerned that Angel may be taking this as a chance to get away from it all to not talk about it.
"Yes, I'm going to go co-teach some class called Defense against the Dark arts, like the letter said. Besides I owe Dumbledore a favor after something I did as Angelus in 1800's so this is defiantly something I want and NEED to do"
"Ok, soul-boy but you be careful over there now. Don't want to go making any of their law firms angry or something." Angel had already packed and would be leaving for a flight that was sun-protected. "Good-bye Lorne. It's been great working with you." They did the hug thing and the soul-reader watched as Angel left L.A.
By the time Angel got into a rainy London, it was already night time there because of the time zone difference. He was rather surprised to see a rather large man holding up a sign with his name on it. Carefully he approached him, presented himself and the man spoke.
"I'm Rubeus Hagrid, the keeper of keys at Hogwarts. I'll be taking you to the school and showing you around." Before Angel could ask where the car was, the portkey had been activated and they both landed in an empty street. "Sorry for the lack of warning there. This place here is Hogsmeade, the village next to Hogwarts. The students and staff come here once a month or so to get a butterbeer, prank supplies, and school supplies."
Angel took a look around the place and noticed it had a Renaissance thing going for the place. The only thing that proved that he hadn't gone backwards in time was the items in the windows of all the stores. From the look on Angel's face you would have thought he was a boy on Christmas day. He felt as if he was human again looking at the entire street as it reminded him of home.
"Come on now, we still have to show you the school and that is a walk to make". They made their way out of the village and saw a horseless carriage waiting for them after ten minutes of walking. They got in said carriage and awhile later it stopped and they got out in front of the lake at the school, which looked amazing. It was lit up by the night sky with all the stars shinning over and a full moon glistening onto the lake.
"Get in the boat and I am a warning you now just because it looks normal doesn't mean it is". With that they where both sitting down the boat started rowing by its self and Angel was in awe of it all. The fascination of all this to Angel finally kicked in when he caught sight of the grounds.
"Welcome to Hogwarts"
-Back to the Scoobies-
"This will be the last time any of us see the Hellmouth for awhile, weird isn't it? I wonder who will protect it now?" Buffy said to the others while they waited for the plane to land. Giles had gotten them a private plane as he had cashed in on some inheritance he received recently, so they could say whatever without freaking other people out on the plane.
"The new slayer probably and her watcher most likely, especially since Giles and you are on another continent now!" Xander stated and nudged her jokingly.
They were all very tired now because they had to carry out their own luggage to the cars, then all the way to the plane once they had finally gotten past pesky security. The flight had now been flying for a good couple of hours. Willow and Anya had been asleep for most of the flight while Xander was halfway asleep. Buffy couldn't rest at all because she felt awkward about something.
'Now I guess I'll know what it feels like to be on the other side of the world from the people you love. But will I be able to stand it?' She shook her head in protest to her thoughts. There was no way she should have feelings for him after all that time and learning what she had just recently. She still had more information to learn yet.
A couple of hours later and they were dropped of in Hogsmeade somehow. They got welcomed by the creepiest woman they had seen in their lives. And that was saying something. "Hello my dears, I foresaw that you four would be arriving at this location and decided the fates wanted me to welcome you. It seems that you three are going to be well but... Oh my poor you, you wont live much longer." Buffy realized the old bat was talking to her and just ignored the comment.
"Um... That's nice. Can we, like, I don't know, possibly go to the school now because we have had a long flight and need our rest." Anya handled with ease but did not show that her patience had been growing thin. The lady then nodded and introduced herself as Professor Trelawney. Or as the four mentally dubbed her right then 'the-loony-bat-from-hell'. They were taken the long way around to the school in the carriages, but got an excellent view of the school as they were dropped off. Luckily the ride had not been with Trelawney because she was need elsewhere or something. They honestly couldn't care any less about the nut-ball who welcomed them.
While the gang made their way to the Great Hall, Buffy had her spider sense go off. She did not know that just in the hall Angel there waiting to find out who the new professors were.
