Ripper Giles and The Techno- Witch
By: WastedYouth98
Chapter 1: The 6th year at Hogwarts and potions class
It was Rupert's 6th year at hog warts and he couldn't wait.
"Ripper!" he heard Ethan yell as they both got on the train. They sat down with Angel and Spike (William) opposite them. "So William what were you up to this summer?" Ethan asks. He called Spike William cause he Believed Spike needed to Earn his name, and he had not done so.
Spike glared, "you call Rupert 'Ripper'. Why can't you call me spike?"
"Ripper", Ethan says pointing to Rupert, "has earned his name, you on the other hand have not."
Fred rubs her temples, "What's wrong?" Jenny Calendar asked they were on the train on their way to Hogwarts.
"That jerk Ethan wouldn't stop trying to flirt with me this morning."
Jenny Smiles, "Isn't he friends with Rupert Giles."
"The one in the same she says" her eyes closed so she doesn't notice Jenny's smile.
Jenny has had a crush on Rupert Giles since they started school when she saw him go up to be placed in his house.
Dru sat on the Train looking at her nails blood red. Perfect, Ethan would fall for her in a second.
Cordelia sat down next to her with a huff, "What's wrong Cor ?" Dru says looking at her.
"Buffy's trying to get Angel back again this year."
Dru laughs, "That girl never gives up!"
Buffy and Angel had been on and off for three years but that summer Angel and Cordelia both got jobs and the same place. They had been in a steady relationship all summer; there was no way Buffy was going to take that away.
Willow sat next to Oz who kept an eye on the frog in Xander's hand protecting Willow, she had frog fear. Buffy smiled at Xander's antics and looked at Willow and rolled her eyes. She was sitting on Xander's left; he smiled as the frog squirmed.
Wesley walks into his cart where Jenny, Faith, and Fred are waiting.
"Check it out mister big shot?" Faith says teasing him.
Wesley was frowning his Muggle step- dad always made him wear a suit the first day of school. He changed into his robes of course before they got to Hogwarts. His parents originally were both pure-bloods but when his real father starting locking under the stairs his mom got a divorce, no one was going to treat her son like that.
"Andrew stop messing with those dumb toys". Both Andrew and Jonathan stared at Warren in bewilderment. "We have more important things to worry about this year?"
"Like" Jonathan says frowning.
Warren sits opposite them, "Buffy." Warren loved a challenge and Buffy certainly qualified with his magic abilities she'd be his in no time.
Tara and Kennedy sat opposite Dru and Cordelia, "Nice color Dru", Kennedy says skeptically.
Dru not picking up on the change in her voice says, "I know Ethan will just love it."
Kennedy sighs, "You're not still on about him are you."
The train arrives and they all ride up on the carriages. "Hey Ripper are you taking potions this year?" Ethan asks.
"To become an Auror I have to", his dad had been an Auror, and he was to become one too.
"What about you William potions?"
The bleach blonde angered, "It's Spike you stupid git!"
Ethan smiles, while Ripper shakes his head.
"How about you Ethan, what's your choice?" Angel asks brooding in the corner of the carriage.
"Potions all the way love let's see how Snyder puts up with me this year."
"Jenny's in love", Faith says in a sing- along voice.
"What?" Fred says.
"Don't give into her antics Winifred", Wesley says.
Faith looks at him, "Oh come on! She's all goo-goo eyes for Angel's friend what's his name? Ripper!"
"Jenny are you listening to what's going on?" Fred says smiling at this.
"What?" Jenny asks turning her face from the window to look at Fred.
"What did I tell you his carriage is probably what she was staring at."
Jenny looks around confused, "What are we talking about?"
"Faith thinks you're gaga over Rupert Giles" Wesley says.
Jenny smiles and her cheeks turn a brilliant shade of red.
"Oh my God, you do like him!" Fred says smiling.
Jenny covers her face with her hands, she puts them down. "Faith you can't tell him!"
Faith sighs and rolls her eyes, "Jen don't worry, and I wouldn't do that. I do have it covered though" she says smiling. "Just call me match maker."
"Dead boy is lame get over him", Xander says to Buffy.
"Why do you call him that, Xan?"
"Because Angel is boring like the dead" Xander says and smiles.
Oz sits there hands entwined with Willow as she sleeps on his shoulder.
Cordelia stares out the window looking for Angel's carriage. While Dru sat and thought how she could Ethan's cute friend William to make him jealous.
Tara laid her head in Kennedy's lap and smiled up at her.
"You want to go after Buffy, "Jonathan exclaims. "She's the coolest girl in school are you crazy?"
Warren contemplates this, "Of course I am, but that's what makes it fun."
Ripper sits down in the courtyard under a tree, shielding himself from the sun. The 1st week and already he was swamped. He sighed and laid his face in his hands and the looked up, "Bloody hell" he whispers.
Jenny sat on a bench her hair up in a bow even though a few strands had got loose. The sun was shining down and she was reading the new alchemy book. She saw Rupert go and sit under the tree and smiled, is hair was short but curled at the nape of his neck; she sat behind him in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Hello", Jenny looked up from the book to see Rupert Giles standing in front of her. "Rupert Giles, friends call me Ripper", he sticks his hand out.
She smiled at him and took his hand, "Jenny Calendar".
"So I was wondering if you happen to be in my potions class with Professor Snyder."
Jenny laughs, "Yes unfortunately I am."
Ripper smiles, "that guy annoys the hell out of you too."
Jenny laughs, "You needed something".
"Oh right, well I was wondering I'm having bit of a hard time. Any chance we could get together for a study session.
"Sure when do you have time?" she couldn't have planned this better herself.
"How about Saturday after the trip to Hogsmeade", Ripper smiles showing his teeth.
"You got it", Jenny says smiling right back, his smile was contagious.
"Jen!" Wesley yells running up to her. "Y-you might want to get to the Hufflepuff common room now
"Why" jenny ask, Wesley was out of breath hands on knees head down.
Wesley looks up, "Fred said, Lorne and Kennedy, not pretty.
Jenny runs to the common room telling Rupert good by with a slight shake of her hand.
Lorne and Kennedy stood in the middle of the common room wands raised when Jenny got there. They both looked ridiculous Lorne had green skin, orange hair, red eyes, and horns probably from one of Kennedy's spells. Kennedy had multi- color changing hair and looked like a vampire she even had fangs. She went over to Fred and Tara, "What happened?"
"No idea we were talking, Lorne made some comment about Kennedy's lack in style and they went at it", Fred says.
"Oh great, and this year begins."
Buffy sat there miserable, Angel was over there to her right hand around Cordelia's shoulders laughing and playing around. Her she was alone again and pinning, "guess who?" someone says from behind her and put hands over eyes.
"Xander right now's not the time" Xander sit down and sees where her eyes are straying to dead boy and Queen C, "Buffy if Cordelia wants him I say good ridden, the guy made your life hell so get over him and let's move on."
Buffy brings her chin up from the table, "Yeah you're probably right so what's the stitch?" Xander smiles and starts in on his new story.
Anya was irritated to say the least why had Xander Harris not noticed her yet, she was beautiful and smart. She needed a professional's help, and Anya ran of to find Faith.
Faith was in the courtyard working on her fighting stances with Gunn. When Anya came up Faith was weary the girl seemed desperate so they went to talk.
"What's the problem?" Faith says.
Anya blunt as always, "Xander Harris won't notice me and as much as I feel like taking a vengeance I can't. So how do I get him to notice me?"
Faith smiled the girl was lovesick over the goof that was Xander Harris, "okay well I've got a plan, but you owe me got it."
"Promise", Anya says.
After Kennedy and Lorne's little turf war ended, Tar and Kennedy met up with Oz and Willow. Kennedy and willow sat at a table discussing ancient magic and how useful it was now. While Oz sat in the grass looking at the sky, Tara was laying in the grass feeling the earth encompass as she looked at the light blue sky.
It was potions class and everyone was taking notes Snyder at the front. Rupert Giles caught his eye. Ripper sat there Ethan sat beside him, but Giles only knew of one other person in the room. Three rows in front on his right sat Jenny Calendar; she sat there with a girl he knew as Faith.
"!" Rupert snapped out of his thought to face a red faced Professor Snyder.
"Do you think you could stop staring at the girl and finish your notes?"
"Yes sir" Rupert said smiling as Ethan smirked and tried not to laugh.
Faith had been conscious of someone watching them or more to the point watching Jenny. Her plan had not been set yet and already thing were going good, but on the bad side Ethan knew who Rupert had been looking at and Ethan getting involved was not good he could ruin everything.
Xander sat there twirling his pencil, he hated potions his worst subject. But he got enough credits to take the class and also Buffy and Willow were taking it he had to be with his pals.
Anya wore short skirts, smiled and said hi every time Xander went by why was he ignoring her.
Willow loved potions it just hated her, no matter what she did her potions always blew up. It was a mystery how she got to 6th year potions class. Oz was a peaceful and neutral person usually, but when it came to potions he had an opinion. He loved willow that was obvious, but the girl could not get it right, and he was scared she would hurt someone or herself. A were- wolf love it was different that was for sure. Oz had been a were-wolf for two years now, and al his friends had accepted it, Willow knew so did the everyone else, he hadn't hurt anyone he usually took wolfs bane, but for some reason Oz had the sinking feeling something bad had already or was going to happen.
Tara was more of a herbology lover herself, but she had the fire for potions, and she was pretty darn good at them. Her girlfriend on the other, Kennedy wasn't a patient person. She didn't like to wait that was just the wait it was, her potions always turned out wrong. She had only got to 6th year potions because her dad had money.
Spike sat next to Angel dumping stuff in the cauldron with out worry, Angel on the other sat there smiling at Cordelia. Cordelia smiled back she was to his right she was in lab with dru who had a conspiratorial grin on. Dru and William were to spend all of Hogsmeade day together he had asked and she had said yes. Ethan Rayne eat your heart out he would come crawling back to her in no time.
"She's just trying to make me jealous you know." Ethan says never taking his eyes off the notes.
"Who Know?" Rupert says looking at his notes.
"Drusilla she's spending her whole day in Hogsmeade with William!"
Rupert looks up, "you never know she could really like him."
"Yeah right" Ethan says and broods for the rest of the class.
Warren, Andrew, and Jonathon skipped potions class, they had set up headquarters in a girl's lavatory where no went because of moaning Myrtle. They would concoct a plan and this year would be the year Buffy Summers would get over Angel Jones.
Lorne was pissed; he looked with hatred at the back of Kennedy's head. Their little turf war had left him green, with red eyes, horns, and a horrible hair style. The problem was no one not even Kennedy knew how to reverse the damage. He was stuck looking like a demon, she was so in for a pay back. Gunn sat next to Lorne; he was looking at Faith, would it be wrong to go out with your ex-girlfriends friend. He and Fred had gone out last year for a semester and he knew they were friends.
