Message in a bottle

Ben wondered the grounds of Hogwarts, invisible, so he would not be found out. He started to scale the building and found Buffy and Spike's room.

"She look gorgeous." Ben thought to himself, as he watched Buffy get ready for bed. She was wearing a black bra and thong set. It gave him goose bumps up his skin watching her. Then Spike entered. They started kissing. A pang of jealousy ran though him as he watched the couple.

"I must get rid of him. Kidnap will be the option then she'll have to come rescue him. She'll have to date me to get him back. At the same time hell will be unleashed onto earth, then she'll be my queen!" He thought, then jumped down from Hogwarts, then he ran to the Forbidden Forest, where he decided to live.

"I'll have her and hell." Ben thought while running.

Buffy was chatting to Spike.

"Do you think Dawn is ok, because she looked a bit worried in the hall?" Buffy asked.

"I'm sure she is." Spike said, then he kissed Buffy's neck and snapping the bra straps. She then kissed him passionately. Then they fell on the bed, still kissing. He then stroked her exposed back. They climbed into the bedclothes, and made out.

Dawn was in the common room, thinking about whether she could trust Draco again.

"He seemed sincere, but he sang a similar song last year and broke his word. I don't know" Dawn thought. She sensed someone behind her. Luckily, it was Harry.

"What's up Dawn?" Harry said.

"It's Draco, he's trying to turn a new leaf again, but I'm not sure whether he's lying like last time or not." Dawn explained.

"Don't believe him. It's that simple." Harry said.

"I think you're right." Dawn said, then went into the girls' dorm, got into her pyjamas, brushed her teeth and hair, then went to bed. She slept soundly. Someone else though wasn't.

Draco was tossing and turning in his sleep. His face twisted in terror as he dreamt. He was dreaming of a man whom didn't seem like he was. The man was a God. The God walked up to the shivering form of Draco and picked him up, just like he was a rag doll and sucked his brains and blood out, before he died the God shouted "Buffy! This will come of your refusal to be with me, only this will happen to the ones you love!" then Draco woke up, sweating. He looked at his watch, 4:30 it read. He needed to tell Buffy or… wait Dawn, so he wrote his dream down on a spare piece of parchment, with the nearest ink and quill that he could find. After that he slept soundly.

Ben sat underneath a willowy tree, thinking. He had just sent a boy who knew Buffy some how a terrifying message through a dream. He wondered if that was right, the God side soon kicked in and he forgot about it, instead looking for his next meal in the darkness that seemed to him like midday.

The next Morning Dawn went to Breakfast like normal but had something at the back of her mind that was niggling her all the time. Something had happened to someone but she couldn't put her finger on it. Before she had anymore time to think, Draco came up to her, looking worried.

"What do you want?" Dawn said, fed up of Draco's games.

"Look, last night, I had a dream. It was a message for Buffy, by a God. It said "Buffy! This will come of your refusal to be with me, only this will happen to the ones you love!" before sucking my brain and blood, killing me. That's when I woke up." Draco still looked haunted from the dream as he spoke. Dawn, whisked him to Buffy in the hall, and he repeated what the dream was again, not liking the worried looks Buffy and Dawn possessed. Then he was taken to Dumbledore and he too looked incredibly concerned as Draco spoke of his horrifying message. Dumbledore went away for a while as Draco and Dawn went to eat with everyone else.

"You guys!" Buffy called quietly to the Scoobies.

"What?" Xander asked.

"Draco had a dream that might be a prophecy." Buffy answered.

"What was it about?" Willow inquired.

"It was about Ben saying how he'd kill all of you guys if I don't date him." Buffy said.

"Oh dear." Anya said.

"What!" Buffy exclaimed.

"Some demons and gods can send messages in dreams, and that means they are in the area. I did it myself a few times to freak out males. It's fun!" Anya explained

"Great, so he followed. Willow, Tara, can you find out spells that can protect us from Ben or allow us to weaken him." Buffy ordered.

"We can't yet. Lessons?" Tara said.

"Oh yeah! Go to go, need to find out something to do in the lesson. Got 6th years, Gryffindor and Slytherin. Spike, can you help me, as you do teach with me?" Buffy asked.

"Alright luv." Spike said, pecking Buffy on the cheek, and then they left.
