Part 2
The small pub in the middle of London paused for one second as a large man accompanied by two women entered the building.
"Good mornin' Hagrid, Butterbeer?" Asked the man from behind the bar,
"No thanks Tom. Hogwarts business." Hagrid replied. He turned to Willow and Dawn, "This is the Leaky Cauldron. We won't be saying here long. I'm taking yeh to Diagon Alley."
The two girls looked around the pug, a lot of people looked shady, but a few were looking at them curiously, talking among themselves, wondering who they were.
"What's Diagon Alley?" Dawn asked as she and Willow were led through the pub. They reached a brick wall behind the pub, and then the girls watched in amazement as Hagrid tapped some of the bricks and they began to move, revealing a wondrous street before them.
"This is Diagon Alley." Hagrid announced. "You will find everything you need here."
The two girls eagerly began exploring the wonders of Diagon Alley, including buying all they needed for Hogwarts.
Willow and Dawn entered a Robe Shop.
"Hello dears, what can I get you?" a woman asked approaching them.
After an hour, both girls had a few robes each, ready for Hogwarts.
They wandered down the street, and stopped outside a shop. Olivanders the shopfront read. Willow remembered that Hagrid had mentioned that they might want to get wands, as most witches and wizards used them. Willow felt no need to get one, as she did not need to use one. But Dawn might want one. The two girls entered the shop.
*~*
When they had finished shopping, Hagrid took the girls back to the Leaky Cauldron. "I got yeh both rooms for the night." Hagrid told them. "Well I'll be off now." He turned to leave, "Oh I almost forgot, you'll both be catching the train to Hogwarts tomorrow. Here are your tickets and don't be late. I'll see yeh both at Hogwarts." And with that he turned and left.
The girls were led up to their rooms, they were across from each other, and even though it wasn't very late both girls were very tired. "Goodnight Dawnie" Willow said and she gave the girl a hug goodnight and entered her room.
"Night Wills." Dawn replied, and the two girls separated.
Dawn lay in bed that night thinking about her new wand. The man in the store had told her that the wood was taken from the tree of life. And the blood of the original slayer was inside. Dawn was surprised, but pleased to know that her wand was a link to her sister.
Unable to stay awake any longer, Dawn soon fell asleep.
*~*
The next morning, Willow was awoken by Dawn rushing into her room, yelling, "Oh My God, Willow! My mirror talks to me! Does yours? This is sooo cool!" Dawn rushed over to Willows dresser and leaned close to it. "Hello? Can you talk too?"
Willow sat up in bed. "Dawnie, what are you doing?"
"I'm seeing if your mirror talks too." Dawn informed the red headed witch.
"Of course I talk" sounded a voice from the mirror.
"Oh My God!" cried Dawn, she pointed to the mirror, "See I told you it could talk." The mirror, was busy studying the two girls.
"Aren't you supposed to be getting ready to go to Hogwarts?" it questioned.
Willow turned to Dawn, "Oh my Goddess! That's right! Sorry" she turned to the mirror, "we have to go now!" Willow shooed Dawn out of her room, and quickly threw some clothes on.
*~*
In record time both Willow and Dawn arrived at Kings Cross Station.
Willow reached into her pockets and pulled out the tickets that Hagrid had left them with. She passed them to Dawn to have a look. "Okay Dawnie, where are we going?"
Dawn stared at the tickets incredulously, "Uh. Wills?" Dawn said tugging on Willows sleave. "this ticket says platform nine and three quarters. Willow how can there be a platform nine and three quarters?" Dawn asked. Willow looked at her confused and shrugged.
Fifteen minutes later Dawn and Willow were standing between platforms nine and ten. "Well, what do we do now?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, wait I guess."
The two girls watched as a family of red heads and one dark haired boy came walking down the platform. Willow noticed that they had animals. She was listening closely to them, "I cant wait for this year!" one of the boys said.
"Yeah me either!" another replied. A woman who looked like their mother announced to the children,
"Platform nine and three quarters coming up." At this, Willow's ears perked up and she walked up to the woman.
"Excuse me" Willow said as she arrived at the party of people. "I couldn't help overhearing, but did you say platform nine and three quarters? I'm trying to find it."
The woman smiled at Willow, "Don't worry dear, we'll take you there. I'm Molly Weasley, and these are my children, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny." Molly said motioning to each of the red heads. "Fred and George have both graduated from Hogwarts a couple of years ago. Ron and Harry." She motioned to the dark haired boy, "Are in their seventh year this year, and Ginny is going into sixth. You look a little old to be a student, if you don't mind me saying. Why are you going to Hogwarts?" By the time that Molly had finished talking; Dawn had walked up behind Willow.
"I'm Willow Rosenberg. I'm going to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor."
Ron and Harry started whispering and looked excited.
"And this is Dawn Summers." Willow introduced as she pulled Dawn to stand next to her. "Dawn is going into Seventh year and will be assisting me with classes time to time during the year."
"Hi" Dawn said as she waved to the people in front of her.
"Oh, look at the time! Come on." Molly exclaimed.
In no time, Willow, Dawn, Harry, Ginny and Ron were sitting in a compartment on the Hogwarts express.
"This is Soooo Cool!" Dawn exclaimed, as a bushy haired girl burst into the room.
"You will NOT believe who is head boy!" she cried out in distress. "Oh!" she said surprised, as she noticed the guests in the compartment.
"Hermione, this is Professor Rosenberg, she's going to be our new DADA teacher." Harry introduced. "and this is Dawn Summers." He pointed out. "She'll be going to school with us this year."
"And this is Hermione Granger. Head girl. We're all in Gryffindor." Ron announced, as he and Harry explained what the houses were at Hogwarts. "You don't want to be in Slytherin."" Ron told Dawn. "Its full of evil witches and wizards." He finished off.
"Oh! That reminds me. You'll never guess whose head boy..." Hermione trailed off.
"Who?" asked Ginny
"Draco Malfoy!" cried Hermione and she buried her head in her hands. The boys both looked horrified.
"Who's Draco Malfoy?" asked Dawn. Harry opened his mouth to speak,
"He's a slimy git who you never want to meet" he told Dawn.
Willow was sitting back watching the teens talk, quite amused. They reminded her of herself, Buffy and Xander in high school explaining to someone who Cordelia. Of course that was the old Cordy. Now she was quite nice, and she and Cordy were actually friends. As willow was lost in thought, a young man appeared in the doorway.
"Did I hear you talking about me Potter?" he asked. "Whose your new little friend?" he said and sneered ar Dawn. Dawn just stared at the boy, a look of disinterest on her face. 'Who does he think he is?' Dawn asked herself. 'A stupid little boy who thinks I should be afraid of him? Ha. Not likely.'
"Ugh. Dawn, Malfoy. Malfoy, Dawn."
They both just stared at each other.
"Hi!" piped up Willow. "I'm Willow Rosenberg. Nice to meet you Draco, is it?"
Draco looked at her. "Aren't you a little old to be a student?" he asked. Willow laughed slightly.
"Im going to be your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this year." She explained.
Draco looked her up and down. "You? Ha! Has Hogwarts lost its mind? Dumbledore seems to be letting *anyone* teach, it seems" he said and left.
Willow looked confused.
"What did he mean by that?" Dawn asked, voicing Willow's thoughts.
"Oh a few months ago we got a new Magical History Professor." Hermione explained. "He arrived about three months ago actually, just before we went on holidays. So we don't know that much about him."
"Oh I see." Willow said. She was about to open her mouth and say something, when Ginny spoke up.
"You guys, we're almost at Hogwarts, so we'd all better change into our robes."
"Oh my Gosh! Your right!" Hermione exclaimed. "I have to get changed! And see if the first years are okay! I'm sorry but I have to go now." She turned to Dawn and Willow. "I'll see you at Hogwarts. Bye guys!"
And she was gone.
Willow just sat there for a second, trying to figure out why the mention of another new teacher had her feeling so unsettled. She pushed the feelings away, and began to get ready for their arrival at Hogwarts.
