Thank you to everyone who reviewed (even though it took forever for me to update). I sort of got sidetracked by a Charmed/Buffy story I've been working on for like the past two years. If your interested it's in the Charmed section. But I'm almost finished with it and decided to go back and work on all my neglected fics. WhiteTwitch, that's a very interesting Idea. I never really thought about that. You should definitely write a fic along those lines. I'll read it.

She finally showed then the last memory. Of her on the tower, with Dawn. Although he knew what was coming he still couldn't believe it. When she pulled them out Ron and Hermione where full of questions.

"But you died, and your alive now. How?" Ron asked.

"What happened to Dawn?" Hermione asked.

"Dawn was taken away by the higher powers, she didn't belong here." Buffy replied calmly. "As to my resurrection, magic. Ancient magic my friends used to bring me back."

"But that's impossible, their muggles." Hermione exclaimed.

"Willow's studied wicca magic for a few years and with the mystical energy the hell mouth emits, she can be very powerful." Buffy explained.

"What ritual did they use?" Hermione asked. "Imagine the possibilities in the hands of real witches and wizard. What we could."

"No." Buffy said abruptly cutting her off. "There's a reason this magic was lost, and I'm not about to let anyone usher it back into fashion."

"I suppose your right, I mean what if the other side had knowledge of it." Hermione mussed.

"They probably do, but it wouldn't help them, it's designed to bring back campions of good, not evil." Buffy replied.

"So we could use it to bring back Dumbledore." Ron replied.

"No you couldn't." Buffy insisted.

"Why not?" Hermione asked.

"I wouldn't let you." Buffy said firmly.

"Oh, so it's ok to bring you back from the dead, but noone else?" Ron asked angerly.

"We all need to calm down." Harry tried to mediate.

"No, she's being selfish." Ron insisted. "I mean think about it Harry, how much better things would be if we could have Dumbledore back."

"Or even, your parents." Hermione added unsurely. "All the people the order has lost."

"There gone, you all just need to accept it." Buffy replied.

"She's right." Harry sighed a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"How can you say that?" Hermione asked. "I don't think she understands the amount of good we could do with this information."

"Understand?" Buffy laughed. "No, it's you who doesn't understand. You think you special don't you? You came from a muggle background, and maybe to your old friends, your family you are. You can wave around a little stick and make things happen. You're a part of this whole other world, but your not god. It's not up to you to decide who lives and who doesn't."

"But it's up to you?" Ron countered.

"No, I didn't kill them." Buffy shrugged.

"But you could save them." Hermione challenged.

"From what?" Buffy demanded. "Who said they need to be saved. Look, they may have not died of natural causes, but they made their choices, and died because of them, I respect that and so should you."

"It's just not Fair." Hermione huffed.

"Not fair." Buffy replied. "Life's not fair. We can't go resurrecting people, there are consequences."

"What if we're willing to face them?" Ron demanded.

"Not for you." Buffy said shaking her hand. "Look at me, do I seem ok to you? You said I was being selfish, but it's you who are. How can you even consider doing to them what my friends did to me? They didn't just say a spell bring me back and make everything like it was, they can't, you can't. They thought they were saving me, helping me, but what they really did is destroy me." She stood gazing out the window. "You want to tag along with Harry, play hero, that's your business, just remember this isn't a game, you may die, Harry may die. Noone knows how this is going to end, but for whatever it's worth, I hope you win. I've taught you everything I can. The rest you'll have to learn from experience. Tomorrow night I'll take you guys outside of town. Do you have any idea where your going?"

"Somewhat." Harry replied.

"Ok, then, get some rest." Buffy replied walking into her room. If you want to send word to your family, or anyone else, do it tonight, I'll send it for you they'll never be able to trace it back here."

"What did they do to her?" Hermione asked quietly.

"It's not my place to say." Harry sighed. "But trust me, she's right. You know I'd give anything to bring back my parents, Dumbledore, or even Sirius. But, she's right, it would be selfish."

"I don't understand, but if you say so." Ron replied unsurely.

"Did you speak to her yet, about coming with us?" Hermione asked.

"No, maybe it's best if I don't." Harry replied.

"I may not agree with her on this whole thing but, it doesn't change the fact that we could use her help." Hermione replied.
