Oh and I know that Draco is kind OOC, but I don't care, he's a nice person in my story!
ManiacPlea: I changed Sunnydale to only be half destroyed as I wanted them to still live there because my mind is planning something for the future. Just to clear up your question/concern/whatever. : )

Part 6
The next morning when Willow woke u she saw Spike lying next to her, 'He looks so peaceful' she thought, 'I wonder what it must have been like to be Buffy when he was so in love with her.' Willow shook herself out of her thoughts when she realised what and who she was thinking about. Pushing her thoughts aside, Willow got up and prepared to go down for breakfast. It was when Willow was brushing her hair did she hear a knock from the main door. Rushing to open it she found Headmaster Dumbledore standing outside her door. "Uh good morning Professor Dumbledore" Willow said surprised to see him there,
"Call me Albus, please Ms. Rosenberg." Dumbledore said as her entered the room when Willow motioned for him to come in.
"Well then I insist, call me Willow" she said, smiling at the old man, "Can I help you with something?"
"Ah yes, I believe William spent the night here?" Dumbledore questioned
"Oh was that a problem? Because I mean we didn't do anything if that what's your wondering." Willow said concerned that he was upset with her.
"I assure you Ms. Willow, you are not in any trouble, it's just that since your arrival with Miss Summers, Professor Eaton has become more sociable, and with his. condition I thought he might want this." In Dumbledore's hand he held an amulet. "This will allow William to go out in the sunlight; I believe it is made out the same rock as the Gem of Amara that I have heard has disappeared. Ah, William, we were just discussing you" Dumbledore said as Spike entered the room. "I was explaining to Willow that since her arrival with Miss. Summers you have become much more sociable, as such I have decided to give you this." Dumbledore said handing the amulet to Spike, "This will allow you to go out into the sunlight if you wish." He explained to Spike, and with a twinkle in his eye he said, "Have a good morning, I hope to see you both at breakfast." And with that he left them.
"Well, that was a bit of a shock." Willow said. "But I guess that means that you can actually come down to breakfast." Willow told him
"Spike's coming to breakfast? How?" asked Dawn who had just entered the room.
"Uh Dumbledore gave him an amulet which allows him to go into the sun" Willow explained.
Dawn looked at Spike in disbelief, "This is SO cool! But I can't talk now, I'm heading down to breakfast, I'll see ya both down there okay?" she said as she left the room.
When Dawn had left, Spike turned to Willow, "Pet, about what you said last night? Did you mean it?" he asked. Willow looked at Spike,
"About moving in? Of course I meant it. You're our family, me and Dawn; I know it would make us both more comfortable knowing you're close to us. You really are our family, so do you want to?" Willow asked.
Spike looked at Willow unable to describe how happy he felt, "Of course I'd love to Pet. Now come on, or we'll be late for breakfast/' he said slipping the amulet on its chain over his head. He looked at it for a second and then motioned for Willow to leave the room as he followed.
*~*
Down at the great hall, Hermione noticed that Professor Eaton was actually at breakfast for once. "Hey guys, look, Professor Eaton's actually at breakfast" she said gaining Harry and Ron's attention.
"Looks like he and Professor Rosenberg know each other. They look quite comfortable with each other." Ron said
"Look at our resident friendly Slytherin." Hermione said, motioning to Sawn who was sitting at the Slytherin table next to Draco.
"MALFOY! How can she be fiends with that slimy git?" asked Harry, who was feeling kind of jealous of Draco at the same time as wanting to kill him.
"Well I guess that proves that she truly is a Slytherin, because there is no way that anyone would willingly become friends with Malfoy if they weren't evil." Ron said, smiling smugly, thinking he'd been right all along.
*~*
Meanwhile
*~*
Willow was trying to stop Spike from capturing food from her plate. "Spike! You know that you could ask Albus is you could have your own food instead of that." she said pointing to his goblet of blood.
"Yeah but Reeed, its no fun that way" Spike whined, trying to get some more of Willow's breakfast.
"Spike, don't whine, it's very unbecoming of a vampire you know." Willow noticed that Hermione, Ron and Harry were watching them. "Looks like we've got an audience" Willow said, motioning with her eyes to where the three were sitting.
"Looks like Bit has the same audience" Spike said as he watched their attention shift from himself and Willow to Dawn who was sitting next to Draco.
"What can you tell me about Draco?" Willow asked. Spike gave Willow a look, "Okay, okay, I know I'm playing mom, but someone has to. So what's he like?" she asked.
"He's actually a good kid" Spike told her, "I mean his father is mixed up in all sorts of black magic. But he doesn't want anything to do with that. Or so I hear from Albus. Don't worry; he'll be good for her." Spike said reassuring Willow.
"Mmmk. Well come on, drink up, we both have a big day ahead. I'm interested in what my class has found out. Not to mention what Dawn has told Draco" Willow murmured as she took a sip of her juice. Whatever Dawn told Draco would be an indication of how much she trusted him already. But whatever it is, she figured that her class needed to know the truth sooner or later.
*~*
When Willow's Seventh year Slytherins and Gryffindors entered the room that afternoon Willow was already sitting at her desk. Dawn was one of the last to enter the room, and as she walked to her desk with Draco she said, "Hey Wills" and sat down. Willow smiled at Dawn and said hi back. She got up to stand in front of her desk.
"So I'm assuming that everyone has done their research?" she asked her class. When she got a few murmurings she said, "That's okay, I knew it might be hard. Who found anything?" Draco and Hermione were the only people to raise their hands. "Okay, Miss Granger? What have you found?" Willow asked.
"Well, Slayers have always been thought of as a myth in the wizarding world. But as you told us, they are in fact, fact. I found out that Slayers are trained by Watchers. Slayers have enhanced strength, speed and agility. That's about it. It couldn't really find out much else, it was like it was erased whatever it was." Hermione said and sat down.
"Well that was a really good effort. Draco? Would you like to tell us what you have found out?" she said. Draco stood up and looked down at his notes, Willow and Dawn were both watching him encouragingly.
"The last current Slayers were, and still are Buffy Summers and Faith Wilkins." Draco said and the whole class focused on Dawn. She smiled sheepishly.
"Please continue Draco" Willow said
"The current events that took place in America was the battles for the Hellmouth, in which the slayers took part in. the final battle was where the Slayers and their group including Professor Rosenberg went up against The First, the original source of evil. This included potential Slayers which is the name given to girls who have the potential to become the Slayer when the current one dies. Uh is that enough?" He asked Willow.
"Yes that is enough, I know you know a lot more than that." She said smiling and giving Dawn a look.
Hermione had been listening to Draco in shock as he started his talk, but when he revealed that Dawn's sister was the Slayer it all made sense. But Hermione still didn't like the fact that Draco knew about something than she did.
*~*
Willow looked at her class; "I guess I should explain" she started saying. "You wouldn't have found out much because the watchers council kept things hidden for many years. And after what happened with the First things were covered up, Sunnydale was rebuilt and people go on with their lives like normal. So does anyone have any questions so far?" Willow asked, and right on que Hermione's hand shot up, "Yes Hermione?"
"Malfoy said there were two Slayers, if there is only one chosen one, how can their be two?" Hermione said, confident that she'd caught a mistake in Draco's talk. Willow thought for a millisecond before answering,
"That's easy, you see, a new Slayer is always activated by the death of the previous Slayer. When I was about 16 there was a prophecy that Buffy would go up against the Master and die. And she did. But she had drowned, which meant that our best friend Xander got their in time to do CPR and revive her. But she had been technically dead so the next Slayer was called. Her name was Kendra but she was killed shortly after that and her replacement was Faith."
"So how did Malfoy know so much?" Ron asked
Willow looked at Dawn and Dawn stood up, "That would be me Weasley." Dawn said thinking for a moment. "After all Buffy is my sister, and I know you all think you're so brave facing this Voldemort guy" she paused as the class gasped at her saying his name, "Well let me tell you something, you have never faced true evil. And I think that if you did you would run away frightened. You wont even begin to understand me or my life like you think you do, Mister Potter and loyal followers." Dawn froze for a moment, both she and Willow remembering when Buffy had leapt from the tower to save the world. Dawn ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Draco got up, meaning to go after her, but Willow stopped him.
"Don't, she just needs some time" Willow told him. She turned to the class, "So does anyone have any questions?" When no one answered Willow decided to continue the class. "On each of your desks you will find a Watchers diary." She said waving her hand and books appeared in front of everyone. "These are diaries kept by Watchers about former Slayers. I want you to read them until I get back, and be careful because they belong to a good friend of mine." And with that Willow left the room.
Racing down the corridors Willow entered her room to find Dawn sitting on the sofa. "Dawnie?" Willow asked approaching the girl, "Do you want to tell me what that was about?" she asked sitting down next to her. Dawn lay down and placed her head in Willow's lap.
"I dunno, I guess I kinda snapped, I mean I can't stand them, I though that they might become my friends, but because I was sorted into Slytherin, I guess that's not going to happen anymore. They have this whole 'we're the good guys' thing going on, but they are totally prejudiced against evil. I though to myself. what would they think of you? Of Anya? You've both been evil before" Dawn said, "Do you understand where I'm coming from?"
Willow stroked Dawn's hair, "I understand Dawnie, but you're gonna have to face them again, and you should keep your feelings to a minimal. Now what do you say you come back to class now?" Willow asked.
"Okay, but just so you know, I still don't like them and nothing anyone will say is going to change my mind." Dawn said as she got up and allowed Willow to lead her back to the classroom. They entered and Dawn took her seat.
"Well I hope you're finding the diaries interesting. Your homework will be to continue reading them so take them with you when you leave. But for now I want you to read for half an hour longer and then you may leave." Willow told her class and went and sat at her desk.
*~*
"Are you okay?" Draco asked when Dawn came back and sat down next to him.
"Yeah" she said, glancing at the golden trio, "I just can't stand them." She explained, "Now come on, let's read." She told him.
Draco looked down at his book, but throughout the next half hour, glanced at Dawn to see if she was still okay. She truly was the most amazing girl he'd ever met. Draco smiled to himself and continued reading.
