Finally got this chapter done. I hope you like it.

I'm getting a great response on the poll about who you want to see Buffy with. Those of you who haven't voted you will find the poll on my profile on or on the polls page at the Yahoo group Died and Lived Twice.

Thanks to those of you who reviewed.


The Hogwarts Express pulled into the train station. As the students filed out, Buffy and Harry spotted Hagrid with his lantern calling to the first years. They waved to him as they headed for the carriages. Buffy and Hermione climb into the front part while Ron and Harry climb in the back. The ride to the school was a quiet one as everyone just watched the scenery pass. As they neared the iron gates Buffy saw that there were two Dementors standing guard. Immediately, she felt apprehensive and as they got closer the feeling of dread from the train returned. Buffy fought the feeling back down and could tell through their bond that Harry was trying to do the same thing. Once they were passed the gate Buffy felt better.

"You okay?" Buffy asked through the bond.

"I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm good too."

The carriages stopped in front of the school and everybody began to get out headed to the Great Hall. Buffy, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were on the front steps when Malfoy and his crew approached.

"Is it true…" Malfoy began as the group turned to confront him. "…that the…"

Malfoy's voice faded as he seemed to be staring at Buffy. His mouth was doing a great impression of a fish.

"Harry, Buffy, is everything all right?"

"Everything is fine Professor Lupin. I think Crookshanks has Draco's tongue so to speak." Buffy said with a laugh. Remus let a slight smile slip.

"Glad to hear it. Harry, Buffy, I would like for you to come with me."

"Yes Professor." The twins said at the same time.

They followed Remus inside and when they passed the Great Hall they knew where they were headed.

"We really don't need to see Madam Pomfrey. I feel fine. How about you Buffy?"

"I'm hungry but that can be solved by going to the Great Hall for the feast. We don't need to go to the Med Wing."

"I want Poppy to have a look at you both. You both are still looking as pale as one of Hogwarts ghost."

"Nothing some food won't cure. Please Remus." Buffy turned her pout on him knowing that Remus had very little resistance against her pout when she used it on him.

"You can stop looking at me like that. I won't let that pout get to me. Not this time."

"You're getting to him Buffy. Keep it up." Harry told her through the link.

"I'm not giving in. I am not going to give in." Buffy gave it a little more pout and Remus let out a sigh. "Fine you win. We won't go to the infirmary, but if your color hasn't returned to you by time dinner is over you both are going to the infirmary with no complaint."

Buffy and Harry both nodded hiding the smiles that were threatening to show on their faces. All three of them turned back around and headed for the Great Hall.


Harry and Buffy entered the Great Hall just as the first years were coming in. They moved quickly to the Gryffindor table. Harry sat next to Ron and Buffy sat next to Harry. Buffy took her seat and found that she was sitting beside Oliver who was talking to some of his friends. In the line of first years Buffy spotted a familiar red head looking in her direction. He gave her a slight wave as his name was called and she waved back.

"You know him?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, I met him at Flourish and Botts. He's going to be in our year. He's a transfer from America. I hope he gets sorted into Gryffindor."

"Daniel Osbourne." McGonagall called out and Oz moved toward the stool his face not showing even one bit of nervousness. Buffy watched as he took a seat on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat on his head.

"Gryffindor!"

The hat called out and Buffy smile was huge as he coolly walked over to the Gryffindor table taking one of the empty seats in front of Buffy, Harry, and Ron.

"I'm glad you made it into Gryffindor." Buffy said as he sat down.

"Me too," said Oz.

The sorting continued and they sat quietly and watched as the first years got sorted. They clapped along with the rest of his house but he didn't cheer. Several times during the sorting Buffy had caught Oz watching her and each time he would offer her a smile. Once the sorting was over Dumbledore stood and went over what was forbidden. He then introduced Remus as the new DADA teacher which he received applause the loudest coming from Buffy and Harry. When Dumbledore introduced that Hagrid was taking over as the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, everyone cheered loudly except Slytherin. Dumbledore raised his hand and the clapping quieted down immediately. Buffy watched as Dumbledore's face became grim as he spoke about the Dementors. He seemed to be looking at Harry and Buffy. Buffy looked at her brother who like her was trying not to squirm under the headmaster's gaze.

"Now with the announcements done let the feast begin."

The feast had started and everyone began to fill their plates with food. Buffy spotted the mashed potatoes she liked and they were just out of her reach. She tapped Oliver on the shoulder.

"Oliver, could you pass the potatoes?"

"Sure Potter." He lifted the bowl and turned to hand it to her and got his first good look at Buffy. His throat went dry and his eyes went wide.

"Thanks Oliver." Buffy said giving him one of her thousand watt smiles.

She had been oblivious to the effect that her smile was having on Oliver. If Buffy had been looking around she would have noticed several jealous looks coming from the other male students, and they weren't just from Gryffindor.


Once dinner was over, everyone headed to their respective towers and rooms. Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus, and Dean were all sitting on Harry's and Ron's bed. Ron had gotten some sweets from Fred and George and they had been trying some of them. These particular treats they were trying would make them sound like different things mostly animals. Seamus had took the one Ron had offered him and was soon sounding like a monkey. Neville was next and his piece of candy made him sound like an elephant. Seamus tossed a piece to Ron who ate it and immediately began roaring like a lion. It was Harry's turn to try one and popped one into his mouth before Ron could get his warning out completely. Steam came out of Harry's ears sounding as if a train were coming through the dorm. Everyone had laughed and they were having a good time. It took them several minutes to calm down and reposition themselves and they began talking about the upcoming school year and Quidditch.

"I can't wait for the start of Quidditch. Angelina is real babe especially in her uniform." Dean told them and the others agreed after a moment.

"Harry why didn't you tell us Buffy had become such a babe?" Seamus asked.

"What?" Harry sputtered. "Buffy's not a babe! She's my sister, my twin sister."

"Seamus is right. Buffy had some kind of growth spurt over the summer. I mean last year she was just your sister and now she's…wow!" Dean told them.

"My sister is not hot! I'm not listening!"

"Their right mate. I noticed it over the summer as did Fred, George, and Lee. Didn't you see the looks she was getting at dinner? I saw that new kid, Wood, and several other looking at her. I even caught Malfoy glancing her way a few times." Ron said grinning madly.

"You're kidding me right?" Harry asked horror-struck at the idea of Malfoy and his sister dating. All four boys shook their heads no.

"That git better not come anywhere near my sister or I'll hex him with every hex I know and a few I don't."

Seamus started singing Buffy and Draco sitting in a tree and Harry through his pillow at him. Soon all five boys were throwing pillows at each other until the feathers fell to the bed like snow to the ground.


While the boys were having their talk the girls were having one of their own. Buffy, Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati were sitting on Hermione's and Buffy's bed. Like Ron, Buffy had received a box of chocolates from Fred and George. The only difference being the majority of her chocolates weren't hexed. They found out about only six of them had a hex on them. While they ate their chocolates the girls began talking about dinner and boys.

"Buffy, what kind of spell did you put on the boys of Hogwarts?" Lavender asked. Buffy just gave her a confused look.

"I don't know what you're talking about Lav. I haven't put a spell on anyone…here at Hogwarts anyway." Buffy said thinking about her Aunt Marge floating away like a balloon.

"Sure you didn't Buffy." Parvati said with a disbelieving look. "I think if you hadn't taken the potatoes out of Oliver's hands he would have dropped the bowl."

"She's right Buffy and that transfer from America looked positively jealous." Lavender told her.

"You mean Oz?" Buffy asked and Lavender nodded.

"And did you notice Malfoy. When we got off the train he was all ready to start in on us when he saw you he started doing a fish impression." Hermione demonstrated. "I don't think he knew a Potter could look like that. Believe it or not Buffy you are definitely doing something to the boys of Hogwarts."

"You guys are imagining things." Buffy protested weakly.

"You know we're not. I say we test this theory tomorrow." Parvati suggested.

"What do you have in mind?"

"We'll try simple things like dropping things and seeing if they rush to help her, batting her eyes, and flirt with them a bit. My mother told me a gentleman should always open the door for a lady."

"All right tomorrow, we'll try it and see what happens. Let's get to bed. I need my beauty sleep." Buffy said with a smile and the other girls laughed before cleaning up and heading to their own bed.
