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.
I can probably tell you that this is a Willow/Spike Dawn/Draco story if you haven't already figured it out yet.
Oh and I know that Draco is kind OOC, but I don't care, he's a nice person in my story! (
Part 5
Draco noticed the moment that someone had come and sat down at the table, but when he looked up and saw that it was Dawn he was quite surprised. "Summers" he said, acknowledging her presence.
"Malfoy." Dawn responded, "How are you going with your research?" she asked
"Not too well actually." Draco admitted, all the while wondering why he was telling Dawn the truth.
"Do you want some help?" Dawn asked, "I mean only if you want it. I was going to ask the Golden Trio if they wanted my help, but they insulted me. So, sucks to be them/" Draco just watched Dawn as she explained what happened. "I mean do you always get treated this way? Just for being in Slytherin?" Dawn asked Draco.
Draco thought about it for a moment before he replied, saying, "Yeah, I suppose, but that could be because most of the witches and wizards in Slytherin turn out to be evil." Draco explained.
"Well that explains it, I guess." Dawn said, thinking about something for a moment before continuing, saying, "So do you want some help?"
"Sure, that is if you think you can." Draco said smirking. Dawn smirked right back at him,
"Oh I'm sure I'll be a help." Dawn said laughing slightly.
Pulling out a picture from out of the books she had put on the desk, she placed it in front of Draco. He recognised it as the picture from the other night. "How is this going to help?" Drack asked.
"This," she said pointing to Buffy, "Is my sister as you know. But she is also the oldest current Vampire Slayer." Dawn revealed. Draco looked at her in shock.
"Your sister is the Vampire Slayer?" he asked in disbelief. Dawn smiled at him,
"I told you I could help. Besides, I think I'd rather help you than Harry Potter and all that."
"So if your sister is the Vampire Slayer, who are all these other people actually? Superhero's in disguise?" Draco asked, amazed at the revelation. Dawn smiled,
"Not quite, but you're kinda close." Dawn told Draco, "I think the only normal, what you call 'muggle' ones were Andrew and Xander, although Xander's ability for love, trust and loyalty is amazing."
"What's everyone else then?" Draco asked.
"Well you know Willow's a witch, but what you don't know is that Anya," she said, pointing to the blonde woman, "Anya was a vengeance demon."
"Vengeance Demon?" Draco asked
"Shoosh, don't interrupt," Dawn said, "Yes, Vengeance demon, Anya was the patron saint of scorned women." Dawn explained. "You remember Faith and Robin, well Faith is also a Slayer, and Wood is the son of a former Slayer. You getting all this?" Dawn asked
Draco had been writing notes as Dawn had been talking and nodded his answer.
"Okay, any questions?"
"Just one, if your sister is the Slayer then how can Faith be one too?"
"Oh that's easy, there was this prophecy that Buffy would be killed by the master, and she was, she drowned, but Xander revived her and she was alive again. But because she'd been dead technically, the next Slayer was called. Her name was Kendra, but she didn't last too long and was killed by this vampire called Drucilla. Since Kendra dies, Faith was called, and there you go, two Slayers" Dawn finished.
Draco had been listening intently, and had moved to sit next to Dawn during her speech, bringing the phot with him, he placed it between them. "So who are the rest of them?" he asked. Dawn looked down at the photo.
"The reason why Giles was like a father to us is because he was Buffy's Watcher. Watchers are sent be the Watcher's council to watch over and train Slayers. The watcher's council, just so you know doesn't exist anymore." Dawn said, purposely missing Spike.
Draco and Dawn soon shifted the conversation, and they spent the rest of the time talking about her past and his past.
*~*
"So this Voldemort guy is like a major baddie? And everyone is frightened of him?" Dawn asked, trying to understand all that Draco had just told her.
"Yes, basically, but hardly anyone speaks his name." Draco told Dawn, surprised she didn't seem at all scared of him. "How come you don't seem so scared?"
"Well you know how I lived with Buffy, Willow and the rest of the Scoobies?"
"Scoobies?" Draco asked
"Yeah well they called themselves the Scooby Gang, after a muggle TV show about a group that solved mysteries. It's kinda stuck over the years."
"Oh okay." Draco said, not quite understanding.
"Yeah so the reason why I'm not really scared is that we used to live on a Hellmouth." Dawn explained.
"What's a Hellmouth?" asked Draco
"Well it's what it sounds like. Quite literally it's the mouth of hell. All kinds of baddies are drawn to it. That's why Buffy was there, to stop them. I guess this has to do with the recent events that Willow wants you to research." Dawn said
"Yeah? What's with that part of the assignment anyway?" Draco asked
"I guess Will wants you to know about our past. If you can't find it out, she's bound to tell you. The last thing that happened before we came here, was that we defeated the First."
Draco was listening to what Dawn was saying but he was also still taking notes. "What's The First?" He asked
Dawn looked at him, wondering if he could actually handle all the info that she was giving him. "The First is the First evil, the original source of evil. Something happened that made it possible for the First to begin to attack Earth. It killed off tons of potentials, potential Slayers that is. So the remaining potentials started to arrive at our house. I guess in the end it was a really big battle, we lost people we loved, and half the town collapsed, luckily our house was saved." Dawn said, going off into a little world of her own, remembering the events that had taken place.
"How did you defeat the First?" Draco asked, snapping Dawn out of her daze. Draco was confused at how they could defeat such a large evil, one that made Voldemort seem as harmless as a mouse.
"Well that's where Willow comes in. She performed a spell that turned all the potential Slayers into actual Slayers."
"Wow" Draco said, "Professor Rosenberg much be a pretty powerful witch."
"She is, more than you think." Dawn said mysteriously. Draco let her comment slide for the moment. He had tons of information for him homework.
"Well I'd better be off." Dawn said, smiling at Draco, "I'll leave you to your work"
Draco looked up at Dawn, amazed that he was the one that she had chosen to help. "Hey Summers?" he said
"Yeah Malfoy?"
"Thanks"
"No problem, See ya later" she said, and left Draco to him homework.

Meanwhile
*~*
Willow and Spike had been working away at her lesson plan for a while when Spike turned to Willow and asked her, "So why did you decide to come here love?"
Willow turned and looked at Spike, "Well I guess it was the best choice, I mean Dawn was invited, so was I and we all thought that she would need someone to look after her where she was here. You know someone who knew she was the key. Plus there wasn't much for me to do in Sunnydale 'cept the same ol' fighting the baddies."
Spike took this answer and filed it away in his mind, "So how's Buffy and the rest of your little group?" Spike asked, truth be told he wasn't in love with Buffy anymore, but he was curious of how she was getting on.
"She's fine; I mean I guess she's actually quite happy. With all the other Slayers it means that the work can be shared around. We've all moved into one house. Buffy's old house actually, except it's been rebuilt to house us all. It's easier for us to be closer to one another. But after the final battle with The First, I dunno, it actually kinda feels like an end to our fight, like we can all stop. But I guess that will never be the case. And I'm here with Dawn now; our adventure is still going to carry on for a while." Willow turned to Spike, "Do you want; I mean. would you want."
"Buffy to know I'm alive? I'm not sure Pet. Not right now if you don't mind." Spike told her.
"I understand." Willow said, remembering when she hadn't wanted to see her friends when she arrived back in Sunnydale from her 'recovery'.
"So love, you finished you work there? Do you want to go back to your room and get something to eat?" Spike asked with a grin on his face, "I'm feeling kind of peckish."
Willow looked at Spike and smiled, "You and your food. come on, and you can show me where the kitchens are."
Spike led Willow to the kitchens and showed her how to tickle the pear to enter them. As soon as they entered, several house elves rushed up to them and asked what they could get them. Spike got the house elves to bring several dishes for Willow and some blood for him up to her room. The two left the kitchens and began walking to Willow's room. As they were walking Willow remembered something Minerva had said to her on her first day here.
"Spike? Do you have many friends here? I mean Minerva, professor McGonagall told me you stayed in your room most of the time." Willow asked him.
Spike thought about it for a second. "I guess you could say that I don't have many friends, I have Albus, but other than that. Not too many witches or wizards are comfortable with me being a vampire, soul and all, and none of my students know either." Spike said, a look of sadness crossing his face briefly before he hid it. Willow noticed it, and felt bad for the lonely vampire.
"Well now you have me and Dawnie" Willow told him, "We'll always love you and respect you for whom you really are." She told him
Spike turned to Willow and gave her a smile, "Thanks Pet" he said and Willow gave him a hug before saying,
"No problem, what are friends for? Now come on, let's go eat." She said as they entered her room.
*~*
"Spike? Where's your room?" Willow asked as she was eating her food and Spike was sipping his blood.
"Uh, mhmnmm." Spike mumbled
"What was that?" Willow asked a slight smile on her face.
"The dungeons" Spike admitted
"Oh," Willow said. She sat there thinking for a while before Dawn came wandering into the room from a door opposite the main entrance dressed in her pyjamas. "Hey Dawnie, what did you get up too?" Willow asked
"Oh I was helping Draco with that homework you set. Isn't it cool Spike? My room connects with Willows through this door!" Dawn exclaimed, explaining her entrance in pyjamas. "Well I'm going to bed now, Night guys" she said and gave both Spike and Willow a kiss and hug before she left the two alone again.
After Dawn had left Willow began yawning, Spike noticed and said, "Come on love, let's get you to bed." Willow who was half asleep already could only nod and allow herself to be led into her room and put to bed. When she was safely tucked in bed Spike turned to leave. Willow grabbed onto him and made him lie down next to her.
"Stay" she mumbled. "Don't leave us again." She said, half asleep
"Never Red, I'll always be here." He said, and allowed her to snuggle into him as she fell asleep.
"Spike?" Willow said as she was drifting off to sleep.
"Yeah love?" Spike asked, wondering what else the red head had to say,
"Why don't you move in here? Stay close to me and Dawnie?" she said, "Think about it, nite." She finished before falling into a deep sleep.
Spike just laid beside her thinking about her offer, whether it had been genuine or not. Checking to see that the drapes were drawn, he decided to ask her in the morning. But for the time being he was content to fall asleep with Willow beside him and Dawn in the next room.
For the first time in a long time, he felt like he was home.
