Chapter 14

AN: In my story Harry and Ginny never were together. So no hard feelings.

Dumbledore: "Remarkable. But I think, no one is in the mood to celebrate anymore. Maybe it is now the time for your honeymoon to start. May I know, what your plans are?"

Faith answered: "Professor McGonagall let us use her manor for 2 weeks. Let's go, B. I can feel the H and H."

The Scoobies blushed. Buffy: "Me too. Ok, guys. See you in 2 weeks."

Harry asked: "What did she mean with H and H?" Xander blushed more: "One H means hungry. And believe me, you don't want to know the other one."

Harry blushed: "Oh. If this means what I think it does, then you are right. I don't want to know."

Ron: "What does it mean? And by the way, what is a Slayer?"

Hermione: "Really, Ron. Did You ever listen in DADA? The Slayer is one girl in each generation to fight against demons especially vampires. They are mostly called during 14 – 15 and when one dies the next one is chosen. They die rather early. The record is 6 years after calling."

Xander: "Not anymore. The longest we know of are 7 years." Willow elbowed him. "But we don't know, who it was."

Ron: "Wow, Harry. They are in more danger than you!"

Hermione: "Ron!"

Ron: "Sorry."

Harry: "It's ok, Ron. But I still want to know how Voldemort knew we were here."

Dumbledore: "The ministry! They knew of the wedding. And of course they know who the Slayer is."

Giles looked alarmed: "They know the name of the Slayer?"

Dumbledore twinkered: "Yes. All the ministries in the world know the name of the current Slayer – and the ones of her antecessors. But I can assure you only a few people know about them."

Harry: "Enough people to let Voldemort know."

Giles: "Please, don't tell anyone what you learned today. There is a reason to let it remain a secret." He looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded: "You are right. We won't tell anybody. But I think the Slayer and her friends would be a good force against Voldemort."

McGonagall, Snape, the Weaasleys and Remus looked shocked. They all shouted: "No way!"

Giles answered: "I can only speak for Vi, but I think the Slayer must be relocated to the next hellmouth. There will open another one instead of Sunnydale."

Dumbledore: "Where will this be?"

Giles: "If I'm correct, near Hogsmeade!"

Dumbledore: "Mh, we will need a new librarian next year. May I invite you and the Slayer to live at Hogwarts?"

Giles: "This would be a pleasure."

Dumbledore: "So this is settled then." He turned to Willow and Xander: "What do you think? Would you help us in the war? Your experience with demons would be a great help."

Willow: "I can't speak for Buffy and Faith, but I will help."

Xander: "Me too. Yeah, let's fight another big bad!"

Dumbledore looked satisfied.

----------

After they cleaned the Scoobies went back to WC while the other stayed at Hogwarts for the night.

At WC

Giles: "You have to be careful Dumbledore know about you, Buffy and Faith. I don't think he will tell anyone, yet."

Xander: "Ok. We will tell Buffy and Faith, when they are back. And tomorrow we will start research. Yay"

Willow: "Come on. It's not that bad."

Vi and Xander: "Yeah, it is!"

At Hogwarts Gryffindor common room

Ron: "Wow, we met the Slayer!"

Hermione: "Ron! A few hours before you didn't knew about her!"

Ron: "And? Now I know and can admire her!"

Harry: "What is there to admire? She has a hard and short life! You heard the record: 7 years after calling!"

Hermione: "Harry is right. I wouldn't want to be a Slayer."

Ginny: "Me too."

They went to bed. But as soon as Ginny and Hermione were in their room Ginny said: "SO, spill."

Hermione: "What?"

Ginny: "What is with you and Willow? I saw how you glanced at each other. You like her."

Hermione blushed: "There is nothing to spill. Besides what is with you and Harry? The way he looks at you tells me he want to be with you."

Ginny: "You know I want to be with him. But as I know him he is afraid to put me in danger. Damn heros!"

Hermione chuckled: "I think you are right. But it was a hard day and now I really want to sleep. Goodnight."

"Goddnight, Mione."

In Dumbledore's office

All order member who were at the wedding were now present to rant.

McGonagall: "How could you, Albus. They are mere children. The war is no place for them!"

Dumbledore: "Quite the opposite, Minerva. These children how you call them have fought against opponents who are much more dangerous than Voldemort." They gasped.

Dumbledore: "I can't go into details, but let me explain some things. You all saw the demons reaction when he heard their names. In the demon world these two girls are frightened. Also the american ministry of magic tells everyone: Do not piss them of. Under no circumstances! Especially Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg."

Snape: "But, why? What did they do to get this reputation."

Dumbledore: "You all know of Angelus? Buffy Summers was the one who fought him – and won. And he was only one opponent." They gulped.

Dumbledore: "These four foiled several apocalypses. Each of them is at least as mighty as Voldemort and I. Together they are unstoppable."

The other were silent. McGonagall recovered first: "That would explain their eyes. But I really prefer to not let them fight."

Dumbledore: "Believe me. You can't stop them. So I prefer to fight with them. Then we are to help them. Another matter: Do not give them orders. As I know, Buffy Summers is their will follow her to hell. Buffy Summers may follow an advise but never an order."

Snape: "This we saw. In the moment the demons approached she gave orders. And all followed her. You as well by the way. Why?"

Dumbledore smiled: "You know, I have many contacts. And I did a little research. But it is not my place to tell you. I think they will, when they are ready."

Molly: "But they are our children! We have a right to know."

Dumbledore: "That is, why I think, they will tell you in a while. But don't press them. They won't respond very well. I also plan to invite them into the order. As Harry and his friends."

Molly: "What? No! I will forbid Ron and Ginny to join."

Dumbledore: "They are of age. Besides, I need the Sunndale group there and Harry is the only one capable to kill Voldemort. You know the prophecy! This is the best to protect them!"

In this moment Professor Trelawney entered the office. "Ah, I saw I should be here. You are discussing our new students. They will bring great danger to us."

Snape snorted. The others looked annoyed.

Dumbeldore: "Ah, Sybil. Yes, we are discussing the new students. But I think they won't bring more danger than our Golden Trio. So, please, deal with them like all the others."

McGonagall: "Oh, please! I don't think they need to hear when you think they will die!"

Trelawney: "If I'm not welcome here, I will go back to my quarters. Good evening."

But when she opened the door, she turned around and said with a voice only Snape and Dumbledore ever heard:

"First was the first,

then the warriors will come back.

One is the heart,

One is the brain,

One is the hand of light,

One is the hand of dark,

The light and the dark will bring the summer again.

Before the new summer will come

They will defeat the prophecy."
