"It's true though. Everything I say is true, you know that." Angel answered her back as he flopped onto the queen-size bed. It was done up in black and silver with a deep red shine to it.
"I know, but that doesn't mean that you should frighten the kids on your first day here. By the way," she smiled brightly, "We have the Soul-Bringer in both of our classes, as well as the next slayer that is needed in the Hell-mouth."
"Who were they, I couldn't tell clearly," Angel frowned wrinkling his brow, "For the death of me, I don't know why I couldn't tell." Angel shook his head slightly, motioning to Buffy to join him on the bed.
Buffy sat beside him and grinned. "That's because we have the Forbidden Forest right beside us." Buffy paused then continued, "Do you know that your childrene are in there?" She flopped back on the bed, referring to the forest, "Both Spike and Drusilla are there and they're new here."
"I think that they follow us around. Don't you?" Angel wasn't that concerned, after all, they were his childrene. Okay, so maybe William didn't like him that much, but it was better then having Dru not like him.
"Spike will start feeding on the kids soon won't he?" It was Angel's rhetorical question.
"Yah, he will." Buffy answered anyway, "And they'll probably try to make the Soul-Bringer a vamp." Buffy got off the bed and walking to the closet, pulling her cloths off in an unhurried manner. As she got the red silk shirt off, she shivered in disgust, "I hate vampires," she turned to him, venom in her voice.
"I know darling. The only thing we need is that we don't let Dumbledore know that vampires follow us around and we haven't killed them yet. And that your a slayer." He grinned at Buffy, "Join me for bed?"
And she did. ____________________________________{**::**}__________________________________
Harry signed into his pillow, another boring day at school. Then he remembered that he had two new teachers and a new class. He jumped up a dressed quickly, calling out to the still sleeping Ron and Neville; his roommates, "Come on you guys, we get that new class today! With that hot new teacher, Professor O'Roake!" He sputtered for a second, "I mean Buffy!"
Ron sat up and just about throw a pillow at him, then remembered the new teacher. "Oh man, what class do we have first?" He asked, wondering when he would be in her class.
Harry looked at their schedule. He groaned immediately, "We go to Snape, then O'Roake then Buffy. I can't stand Snape." He confession was loud and not polite.
"Yah, I'll bet that O'Roake will be just as bad. He seemed to not like kids either." Ron added, also not to pleases with getting the one bad teacher first thing in the day.
"Well, we have go these two class first." Neville shivered.
"Hey you guys! I just thought of something! Didn't Buffy say that she and O'Roake were helping out with each others class?!" Harry shouted with joy, not expecting an answer by anyone.
"Yes, she did say that. Now, get to the great hall to eat." Angel was the teacher on duty that day to see that everyone was where they were suppose to be.
Ron squeaked in surprise at Angelus' quiet and fast approach, Neville shrieked and Harry jumped away from the door.
"Professor!" Harry sputtered in surprise.
"Hello Mr. Potter. would you be so kind as two get down to the great hall, so we can all eat?" Angelus smiled. Abet, it was evilly, but Angelus thought that Harry deserved it.
"Ah, yes sir!" Harry grabbed Ron and Neville, rushed to the door, but before they could get out Angelus stopped them with six words.
"Oh, and I am not 'boring'"

Buffy met Angelus on his way to the great hall, "So, did you hear some of the talk that's going around the school about us?"
Angelus sighed in half laughter and half exasperation, "Yah; you're hot and I'm a boring, mean bastard. Anything else you'd like to know?" He asked as they continued down the hall.
"No, that was about all." They reached the great hall and stopped.
"Then I'll met you in the DADA room right after breakfast." Buffy nodded in agreement and went to talk to Professor Dumbledore on something in her mind.
"Professor!" She called to him, "I would like to talk to you!" She slowed down to his pace.
"Yes, Professor O'Roake?" Albus stopped and turned to the small blonde.
"Professor," Albus interrupted her.
"Call me Albus, please."
"Albus," Buffy stopped, testing the name then went on, "I have a little problem that I need to work out with you."
Albus blinked and thought a moment, "It wouldn't happen to be that your pregnant, would it?"
"How did you. . . Never mind. Anywhoo- I mean, way; I think that I should have talked to you first about that little arrangement on the helping each other out thing, huh?" Buffy blushed.
"No, that was fine," Dumbledore nodded his acceptance to it, "I was going to suggest it after I found out about your pregnancy anyway. Does Angelus know that your pregnant? Or is that a stupid question?"
"Oh, no! Nothing you ask is stupid, but. . . It was Angelus who told me about the baby." Buffy's thoughts went to her first child. A tear seeped down her cheek, unheeded by the owner.
"You lost the first one, did you not?" Albus was kind and whispered comforting nothings in her ear, as he drew her forth and put his arms around her.
Buffy nodded into Albus' robe. She straightened and started to say something but Albus cut her off.
"My dear, you go and have a good first day and you can come talk to me after school has finished. You do need to tell me some things don't you?" He's question wasn't exactly rhetorical but Buffy treated it that way, and when on into the great hall wiping the tear from her eye.
"Thanks Albus!" She called back to him as she went though the doors.
Albus Dumbledore smiled and shook his head in humour. What a pair of teachers.

Angel grinned a nasty grin at the kids in his room. The second class of the day and boy was he having fun. Even if he wasn't a wizard, He still knew more about daemons then anyone else in this school. But then again, he *had* been to Hell and back a couple times.
You could meet some very interesting people in Hell.
"Now," He started, "Do any of you know over three different types of daemons?" He asked.
Hermione raised her hand, hoping that he actually picked other people then Harry.
"Yes, Miss Granger." Angel permitted Hermione to talk.
"Well, there is the all famous Vampire, the Werewolf and there are Headhunters." Hermione sat back down and smiled.
Angel graced Hermione with a smile and asked a question tot he class, "Does anyone else know what a Headhunter is?" The class as one, shook their heads in a negative gesture.
"Well, a Headhunter is a daemon that can be called up by any witch or wizard and do her or his bidding. The only problem with this daemon is that it takes a price for all that he does. If it is a major job, then the daemon will take your soul. If the job is relatively small the daemon will take something like three or four years of your life away.
"Another set back is that sometimes you call up a powerful Headhunter without meaning to and it will take your soul, no matter if the job is small, big, or if it doesn't even do the job."
The kids in the classroom blinked from this tale. Draco raised his hand as he spoke, "Have you ever faced a Headhunter Professor O'Roake?"
"Did I say that you could talk?" Angel's voice lowered a few decibels as he reprimanded the silver haired boy, "And yes, I have talked and spoken to a Headhunter. It was casing me at the time and I had to kill it."
~ The man's just like that bastard, Lockheart. ~ Most of the students thought that immediately.
"No I am not joking and I will never tell tales in this room. Here you learn the truth and nothing but the truth." Angel's voice went colder then ice, "Have you ever here of the legend of the Vampire Hunter?"

From the Author: The Soul-Bringer will be important later in the story and you will hear references to him from time to time. He's identity will be keep secret until he his needed to save the O'Roake's, a.k.a. Buffy and Angel.
The fifth year class of DADA class will find out about. . . Oh right. I can't tell you. That would ruin the next couple of chapters.
For those who asked for Spike. . . He's in here. I had him in here before you even asked.
