Chapter 10

Silence descended on the morgue both sides looking for the other to make the first move. The vampires were knew Buffy could tell they probably came from the drawers and the appeared to have no cohesive leadership. All were just hungry and thought they had found an easy meal.

The vampires quickly grew tired of waiting and all of a sudden the biggest and ugliest attacked. Buffy met him head on not giving him a chance to respond. He leered at her seeming to think just because she was small she would be easy prey. Her fist shot out and hit him in the face followed quickly by a sweep kick before jumping on him and staking him.

After he attacked the others quickly joined and Buffy glanced over at Harry to see how he was doing.

He shot her a look and grinned, "you have got to teach me how to do that," he said as he shot a spell at one of the vampires knocking him into the wall before turning to another.

"Incendio," shouted Harry as another vampire came at him.

Buffy stared for a moment as the vampire burned up before replying, "well I'd like to know how to do that got anything to create sunlight," she said half joking as she staked a vampire coming up behind her without even looking.

Harry froze at her comment for a moment before smacking himself in the head, "duh…," the wizard said to himself before turning his wand to the remaining vampires and saying, Solum maxima."

Buffy had to shield her eyes as light lit up the place, "a little warning would have been nice you know."

Harry ducked his head sheepishly, "well you did ask," he replied.

Buffy glanced around the room, "Nice, but never use it around my boyfriend, I would not be happy if you fried him. Now, let's get out of here, by the way who is the guy, I noticed you recognized him."

"Not now," sighed Harry, "let's wait and tell everyone at the same time I don't want to have to go over this multiple times. And besides everyone is probable worried we have been gone longer than we said."

"Yeah," said Buffy with a mischievous glint in her eye, "I bet Draco is up the wall with worry. He may not let you out of his sight for a long while he has totally got it bad for you."

Harry colored quickly, "stop being foolish Buffy Draco doesn't feel that way about me, he just feels a little overprotective of me that's all."

Buffy smiled to herself thinking, 'poor boy he is not going to know what hit him when blondie makes his move,' but moved to follow him out none the less.

Meanwhile Draco was indeed climbing the walls with worry they should have been back an hour ago and now his overactive imagination was working overdrive thinking of the two of them, mostly Harry. He couldn't help himself ever since he and Harry had become friends he had found himself becoming more and more protective of the smaller male.

As he sat there brooding Angel walked into the room and said, "you know brooding is usually my thing, they'll be fine."

Draco looked up at the other male, "how do you do it remain so calm while Buffy is out there where you can't protect her."

Angel sighed, "Buffy can take care of herself and Harry too if the need arises and she would stake me if I dared suggest otherwise but I do worry just as much as you do more so since she has died before."

Draco couldn't help himself he let out a slightly hysterical laugh, "wow, those two are really more alike than you know."

Angel looked confused for a moment, "what do you mean, has Harry died on you too?"

"Yes, actually, when he faced the Dark Lord he had to sacrifice himself to get rid of part of Voldemort's soul that had latched on to him when Voldemort tried to kill him as a baby," said Draco, "My mother told me part and Hermione filled in the rest Harry refuses to talk about it, says it's over and done with he survived and that's all that matters."

"Sounds like Buffy after she killed the Master she refused to talk about it and then ended up pulverizing his bones with a sledge hammer but was much better after," replied Angel.

"They should be back by now," said Draco looking at the clock again, "how long does it take to look at a corpse."

Just then the others joined them in Buffy's living room. Hermione took one look at Draco and told him to relax.

"Relax, I am relaxed, I am a Malfoy and we are always relaxed," sneered Draco putting his nose in the air.

Hermione burst out laughing at his antics but he was sufficiently distracted, "Draco you do know that Harry can take care of himself don't you he has been doing it forever."

Draco sighed, "but he shouldn't have too, I would love a chance to curse those muggles, they would see why exactly my family is known as a dark family."

Willow and Xander felt a chill go down their spine at the blonde's words they had no doubt that he meant every word. "Well moving on," Xander said, "lets leave the revenge and cursing for another night shall we."

Just then Buffy and Harry walked into the room both with torn clothes and Harry had a scratch on his temple.

All of a sudden Draco was up and across the room. He was growling about stupid Griffindors and looked furious but when he examined Harry's head his touch was gentle belying his anger.

"Draco," Harry whined secretly pleased with the blonde's concern, "I'm fine we just ran into a couple of vampires no big deal really."

"You what," Angel said stepping up to Buffy, "are you alright?"

"Yeah, it was totally awesome," Buffy said excitedly, "Harry set one of them on fire then used this sun spell thing which turned them to dust."

Harry looked over at Buffy, "yeah but you staked two on your own and probably could have taken the rest."

"Just how many were there," said Draco in a tense voice.

"Only five," said Harry dismissively.

"Only five…" Draco sputtered before regaining his Malfoy calm.

"Draco seriously we're fine," Harry placated the blond, who wasn't satisfied until Harry's wound had been cleaned and he was seated next to Draco on the couch with one of Draco's arms around him.

"So Harry, just who was the dude you looked white as a ghost when you saw him?" asked Buffy.

Draco and Hermione sat up straighter at hearing the Harry knew the boy that meant they probable did too and looked inquiringly at the raven.

Harry sighed, "it was Ron guys."

Hermione paled and gasped while Draco tightened his grip on Harry's shoulders.

"Why look so sad guys isn't this Ron fellow the whole reason you got stuck in this dimension in the first place?" Xander asked.

Draco glared at the man and Harry seeing this put his hand over Draco's and said, "Draco its fine he's right, but Xander before all that he was the first friend I had I met him on the Hogwarts Express on my first train ride and we were best friends ever since." He gave a rueful grin to Hermione. "I still see him sometimes as the boy that sacrificed himself on a giant chess board so we could go on, and stood by me when the whole school was against me. I don't know what changed honestly."

Buffy moved to sit next to Harry, "I know how you feel believe it or not, I had a guy I thought was my friend try to turn me over to a group of vampires in exchange for turning him and it still hurts."

"You know this causes more problems don't you," Hermione finally said. When everyone looked at the girl she explained, "obviously someone or someones followed us and we don't know why, where they are, or their intentions."

Harry sighed before quipping, "well so much for a peaceful alternate reality jump."

Hermione ignored her friend's sense of humor long since used to it and said, "well it's not too late how about we check out the library while the school is empty."

Willow quickly jumped up and stuttered out, "noo..o not tonight it's a bad night you have already been attacked by vampires so we should just stay in and wait until daylight you know when the sun is out and the moon is gone. Yeah, that sounds like a plan just wait a little while."

The trio just looked at her as though she had grown an extra head. Buffy quickly explained about Oz being a werewolf and how he used the library on full moons hoping they would be as cool about that as they were about vampires.

She was pleasantly surprised when all they suggested a potion for him to help him keep his mind for the transformation. Willow was all for it and told them she would show them The Magic Shop the next day after school to see if they had the ingredients.

Harry quickly told everyone goodnight not long after, after almost falling asleep on Draco's shoulder several times.
