Hermione, Buffy, Spike, and Willow entered their hotel room. When they entered the room Andrew, Dawn, Giles, and Xander were playing Monopoly in the kitchen.

"Hey guys," Dawn waved.

"Hey," Hermione mumbled. "I'm gonna go put this stuff away," Hermione said in a hurried voice, gesturing towards her school supplies as she retreated to the domains of her room.

"Did you have a busy day?" Xander piped in curiously.

"Umm yeah we did," Buffy muttered.

"Guess who we ran into!" Willow perked up with a grin plastered on her face.

"Who did you run into?" Giles inquired Willow.

"Harmony. You should have seen it, it was SO hilarious," Willow started to chuckle again towards the thought. Buffy was on the verge to join her.

"Isn't any Harmony case funny?" Dawn questioned but nobody seemed to hear her.

"She's getting more blonde by the year; she thought her and her cousin could be shag buddies!" Spike sniggered at the memory. Everyone was joining in the laughter by now.

Hermione thought the next couple of days past very quickly. The next morning, she would have to wake up early to aboard the Hogwarts Express on time. Yet it felt as though yesterday she went to Diagon Alley to buy her school supplies.

Hermione went into the living room to start reading her school books when she noticed a pink post it sticking to her door.

Mione,

We are out looking for jobs in the nearby towns. We will be back later tonight.

Love,

Buffy & Willow

After she read the note she threw it away. Hermione then went and got herself some breakfast before reading Willow's list of wandless spells. She practiced most of the morning before Dawn woke up from the noise Hermione was making.

"Morning Hermione," Dawn grumbled.

"Morning Dawn," Hermione said still keeping her eyes on the spell list.

"Have you seen Buffy and Willow or anyone else?" Dawn asked with wonder.

"Buffy and Willow are looking for jobs but I dunno about the rest of the people," Hermione said in her matter of fact tone.

"Oh coolio," Dawn said in a sleepy voice.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

-------------------------------------------

"Nice to see you again Miss Rosenberg. Miss Summers, glad to finally meet you," Dumbledore greeted Buffy and Willow.

"Hello, sir," Buffy and Willow murmured.

"You may be wondering why I asked you to come and meet me here, correct. As I understand you are looking for jobs to support your family, am I not correct?" Dumbledore said with a little twinkle in his eye.

"Um yeah, we kinda are looking for jobs," Buffy said in a nervous tone. "But how'd you do that?" Buffy asked confusingly.

"Miss Summers, I am a very smart wizard, I know something about everything. If you'll please take a seat Miss Summers, Miss Rosenberg," Dumbledore said in a business like tone. They took a seat in the red velvet throne like chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk. Then they went to business.

Apartment

-------------------------------------------

It was nearing ten o'clock when Hermione and Dawn were finishing a tenth round of Go Fish. Dawn was beating Hermione in a long game of Crazy Eights when Faith came in their apartment.

"What are you guys doing?" Faith asked in a bored tone.

"Playing Crazy Eights," Dawn said her eyes still locked on the cards.

"You wanna go out?" Faith asked them both.

"Go out where?" Hermione inquired Faith.

"Clubbing," Faith said in a tone like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Remember last time you suggested that?" Hermione retorted.

"Yeah, remember Buffy how got pissed?" Dawn sided with Hermione.

"Yeah but she was wound up with trying' to protect your asses from the First and Caleb," Faith reasoned. "And we don't have anything to worry about now, plus it's your last day here Mione," Faith added with suggestion in her voice.

"Alright I guess," Dawn murmured putting the cards away.

"Fine," Hermione said leaning against the couch. "I know a place where we can go. It's called Pure Essence, wanna give it a try?" Hermione suggested.

"Sure," Faith said writing something on a piece of paper.

"What's that?" Dawn asked curiously.

"Note for Buff and Will," Faith stated. "I'm already dressed so why don't you do the same?" Faith asked. It sounded more like an order than a request.

Faith wore a black tank top with black jeans with electric blue stripes up the sides.

When Hermione and Dawn were finished getting dressed they went to meet Faith outside of the hotel. Hermione was sporting a white halter top with the Union Jack on it. It framed her upper body perfectly. She was also wearing a baby blue pleated mini skirt. Hermione also wore lace up black high heels she borrowed from Buffy.For the outing, Hermione decide to do her hair in black ringlets. Dawn dressed in a red tank top and deep blue jeans. She wore black leather combat boots to go with her outfit.

Now they were ready. Ready to go to. . . . Pure Essence.
