Title: Moving On (Working Title) Disclaimer: In first Chappie
Notes: I haven't changed much, except Willow isn't Gay. Season 7 Spoilers for Buffy, Some Season 1 spoilers for Angel, this chapter kind of explains how Spike is at Hogwarts.
I can probably tell you that this is a Willow/Spike Dawn/Draco story if you haven't already figured it out yet.

"Spike?" Willow asked, and promptly fainted.
*~*
When Willow woke up, she found herself lying in a bed. "Wha..?" she started saying as she got up. "Spike?" she said in disbelief. "Is it really you?"
"Yeah Pet, it's me." Spike said, as he moved from the chair he had been sitting in to the bed. He plopped down beside her.
"But how?" Willow asked.
"I'll tell you later, pet. All in good time." Spike told her, "But the short of it is, Dumbledore needed a new teacher and I accepted the job. I figured that you all wanted to get on with your lives. I only suggested you for the job, though I never imagined that the old fart'd actually offer you the position."
"YOU recommended me? Buy why?" Willow asked
"I dunno, I guess I thought you were best for the job out of you Scoobies." He said
Willow looked confused. "Me? Surely Buffy."
"Buffy wouldn't have been right," Spike butted in, "You, are a witch Red, and you're here to tech witches and wizards. You were the right person for the job."
Willow sat back and absorbed all the information. "Well although I'm shocked to see you, I'm also glad. Now I have another friend and one my own age, well. you know what I mean." Willow hugged Spike taking him by surprise. "I'm glad you're undead again Spike" she mumbled.
"Me too pet, me too." Spike said.
Willow sat back and looked at Spike. "How are we going to tell Dawn?" she asked.
"We'll just have to." Spike said. "But for now, you'd better get some rest; you've got your first bloody lesson tomorrow after all."
Shortly after that, Willow fell asleep with Spike beside her.
*~*
The next morning Willow woke up early. Spike was still sleeping so she left him there to prepare her first lesson. She looked at her schedule. First up she had seventh year Slytherin's and Gryffindor's. 'Well this should be interesting' she said to herself.
Willow was at the front of the classroom when students began entering the room. 'Well this is it. Time to put on a brave face' Willow told herself.
"Good morning class" Willow announced, "As you all know I am Professor Willow Rosenberg. This year might seem a bit different for many of you, as my teaching techniques might seem a bit different to what you're used too. Does anyone have any question?" Willow asked. She scanned the room, and noticed Dawn sitting with her fellow Slytherins.
Hermione's hand shot up,
"Yes Miss Granger?"
"What topics till we be covering this year?" Hermione asked.
"Well we will be starting odd with basic knowledge of demonology and magic, and how to use your knowledge in defence." Willow told her class, "as the year progresses I will be bringing in examples of dangerous creatures and I will teach you how to defend yourself against that particular creature. There will also be a section on how to defend yourself in hand to hand combat, in case your wand is ever out of reach, or if you are in a situation where you cannot use it. Does anyone else have a question?"
Draco Malfoy raised his hand, "I have a question."
"Yes Mr Malfoy? Go ahead."
"What kind of experience do you have to be the Defence against the Dart Arts teacher?" Draco asked.
Dawn smirked from her seat where Willow could see her, a smirk she had perfected from watching Spike
"I mean you're kind of young." Draco finished.
Willow smiled, "You're right, I am kind of you, and you're all what? 17 this year?" she asked the class, and got nods from most people, "Well, by the time that I was your age, I'd already been fighting what you call 'the dark arts' and more. So I think I am more than qualified for this job." She paused for a moment. "I guess you're all wondering how and why I've had so much e4xpiriance, so I think this might be a good place to start the first topic we will be looking at; The Vampire Slayer."
Hermione put her hand up, "it's a known fact that Slayers are just a myth." Hermione informed her teacher.
Dawn had been watching Willow intently, and when Hermione announced what she believed was true, Willow motioned to Dawn to come up to the front of the classroom.
"Well Miss Granger, I'm sure that you will be pleasantly surprised to learn something new." Willow took her focus off Hermione, and addressed the whole class. "I have asked Miss Summers to assist me with this section of the course.
Harry Potter had been listening intently to the class, and when he saw that Dawn was going to be helping Willow, he sat up a bit straighter.
A hand from the middle of the room was raised, Willow looked to see who it was. "Yes Neville?"
The young man looked nervous as he asked his question, "how do you and Dawn know each other?" he asked. This was a question that most of the class had been wondering.
Willow and Dawn exchanged a look before Willow opened her mouth to talk. "Well, I've known Dawn ever since she was born, basically." Willow told her class, as it was the truth that she had known Dawn ever since the monks had made her human. "Not to mention that her older sister is one of my best friends." Willow told her class. "But we're here to talk about vampire Slayers, so Dawn? Would you like to do the honours?" Willow asked the girl next to her.
"Sure Wills. Into each generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."
The whole class was staring at Dawn, A hand shot up in the air. "How do you know about Slayers?" Hermione asked. Dawn smiled a small smirk and turned to Willow.
"That is up to you to find out. I want you to write this down, your homework, to be completed before next lesson is to research who and what Slayers are, I also want you to research recent events that have happened in America regarding Slayers."
The class looked confused.
"Don't worry; I'm sure you will understand what I am talking about once you start researching. I want two scrolls on what you have found out, and because this could be difficult, I'll let you go to the library for the rest of the lesson to research."
The class was quick to leave the room, all talking amongst themselves about how exciting they thought this year would be. Dawn stayed behind to talk to Willow.
Once everyone had left Willow turned to Dawn, "Hey Dawnie, how do you reckon that went?"
"I think you did great Wills. Are we ever going to let them all know about..?"
"Our life on the Hellmouth?" Willow questioned
"Well yeah, I mean otherwise we're going to be kinda suspicious, knowing all this info and all."
"Yeah I know, we'll tell them. But Dawn, there's something that I think you need to know."
A shadowy figure appeared in the doorway, and the figure locked eyes with Willow,
"Hey bit. Miss me?" Spike said, announcing his presence.
Dawn turned around slowly, her eyes wide and her jaw dropped, "Spike?" She said in amazement
"Yeah, it's me." Spike said.
"SPIKE!" Dawn cried again, her mind registering what had just happened, Dawn rand and launched herself into Spikes arms and gave him a big hug. "But how is this possible? Buffy said you died."
Spike turned to Willow, "I think this is a story that both of you need to hear." Spike started, and he proceeded to tell the two what had happened.
"One moment I remember burning up, and the next thing I know I'm in an office in front of Peaches."
"Angel?" Willow exclaimed
"Yeah pet, It turns out that I am one proud new position of Wolfram and Hart, with it proud new Nancy Boy owner, Peaches. So I stayed with them for a while until Peaches heard that Hogwarts needed a new teacher, and he sent me here to fill the place."
Willow and Spike turned to Dawn, Willow, not sure how Dawn would take it. Dawn just smiled and Hugged Spike again, "Well I'm just glad that you're back, Spike."
Dawn turned to Willow, "DO I have to do this research project?" she asked. Willow smiled
"No, you can be excused, I just want to know how good everyone's researching skills are, but I know yours already."
"Cool, well I'm going to see what everyone else is up to. Bye Spike" Dawn said, and left the two old friends alone.
"Already got teachers favourites Pet?" Spike said, and received a glare from Willow, "Well she sure took that better than expected, better than some people we both know Spike said, grinning at Willow.
"Oh Shush." Willow said, "Here, make yourself useful, help me work out a more detailed lesson plan."
The two got to work, each happy to be in each other's company again.

Meanwhile

Dawn wandered into the library to see how people we going on their researching. She spotted Hermione working with Ron and Harry, "Hey guys, how are you going?" she asked, walking up to them. They looked up at her startled.
"I thought that you wouldn't want to talk to us, not that you're in Slytherin." Ron said.
"Ron!" Harry said, telling off his friend, but the damage had already been done.
"Is that what you think about me?" Dawn asked, getting angry with her so - called 'friends', "Well, that shows just how much you actually know about me." She said, "And to think I was going to ask you if you wanted any help." And with that she walked off.
"Ron! What was that about?" Harry asked, "You know Dawn's not like that."
"Yeah but Harry, you have to admit, there has to be a reason why the sorting hat sorted her into Slytherin." Hermione pointed out.
The three Gryffindors talked about it a while longer, before continuing their research.
Dawn had wandered off, looking for someone else to talk too, she noticed someone sitting in the back of the library and when to see what they were going.
She walked up to him, and sat down opposite him.
Draco Malfoy stoped what he was doing and looked up at Dawn.
TBC.
