The students frowned as one. Some in thought, most in question. Draco raised his hand this time.

"Sir," He asked, "Are you telling us, um, that the Vampire Slayer is real?" Disdain dripped from his words.

Everyone knew that that was a bedtime story. Most certainly a legend at any rate...

Professor O'Roake smiled evilly to Draco. "Mr. Malfroy, are you telling me you don't believe in vampires?" Soft and quiet, "That what it sounds like." Hard and unforgiving.

"I believe in vampires, O'Roake, but I don't believe that there is only one person in the world that can kill them."

"Professor, Draco. Don't ever forget to add the word professor." Angel looked to his wife, "Would you like to enlighten them, Buffy. You know more about the Slayer then I do." Smirk.

Buffy snorted and the students wondered on what he meant. Then Buffy spoke. "The Vampire Slayer can not only kill vampires, but also daemons and such. That's where the legend starts to make things up. Truth : Other people can kill vampires. Vampires can kill the Slayer if s/he is powerful enough. There is only one every generation, and when she dies, the next is then called.

"There has only been one male Vampire Slayer and he was recorded to live for an amazing three days before his ego got him killed. Now there is only female Slayers. And only one Slayer has ever had companions to help her out. This Slayer is still alive." Buffy paused, "So far as I know anyway."

Hermione raised her hand.

"Yes, Hermione?" Buffy stumbled over the name a bit.

"I just thought that since we're talking about the Slayers, that it would be good to talk about the Vampire that killed the most Slayers in his career?" Hermione, blushed at her own 'daring'.

"And would you care to tell the class which vampire that was, Hermione?" Angel just about visibly drooped at Buffy's answer. He hated talking about his years as the Scourge of Europe.

Buffy also knew what was coming. "Angelus, The Scourge of Europe." Hermione said triumphantly.

"Very good." Angel nodded, trying not to finch and look nervous. "Can you tell me how many Slayers he killed?"

"Yes, he killed six. Their names were never recorded."

"Do you know what happened to the Scourge?" Buffy found this interesting. She had only the actual things that happened to Angel in her head. She needed the text book version.

"Well, some of the text books say that the seventh slayer, Selene killed him. Other text books think that he when into hiding and is still here among us, waiting for a weak-minded slayer to revive his strength. In the history book I was just reading, Angelus was cursed to wander forever in the dark, with a conscience.
"Most of the experts agree that he is dead though, because there has not been any sign of him for over two centuries." Hermione sat down, slightly pleased with herself.

Buffy blinked. The girl reminder her so much of Willow. She felt tears coming to her eye's. Willow, Xander and Giles had died in the final attack of the vampires when Buffy had cleaned out the few den's that were left after an all-new apocalypse came. That was two months ago, and another factor in why Buffy agreed to leave 'Sunnydale'.

Joyce and Angel had helped Buffy avert the final apocalypse and where they were done, Buffy found out that she was pregnant again. Had been pregnant the entire time she had been fighting.
Angel had not been impressed with her.

"You know quiet a bit one this subject, Hermione. Do you study even this far into every class?" Angel asked.

Hermione blushed deeply, and sank farther down into the chair she was in.

Buffy laughed silently for a second, then turned to the vampire, "Okay, Angelus, now that we've review the life of the Scourge, what are we going to do about it?"

"In-depth study."

The students groaned as one, then started to get their textbooks out.

"What are you doing?" Angelus asked them.

"Doing research for the essay." Draco looked at him weird.

"Have I told you that most of our work will not be done from the textbooks?" Angelus grinned at the shocked looks that he received.
"And I would rather like to burn the texts then use them."

Hermione gasped in shock.

"But him wouldn't dare, right darling?" Buffy looked pointedly at the other professor in the room.

"No..." Angelus humped softly.

"Thank God that's over. I don't think that I could bare to stay in that class for long." Ron shuddered as he walked with Harry and Hermione to the next class.

"Wait a minute... Herm, why are you taking MDMA with us?" Harry asked the girl.

"Just because I'm a gir..." Hermione started.

Harry stepped back a step and waved his hands in front of him in defence, "No no no no! That's not what I meant! I was wondering why you would take a physical class instead of a intelligence class."

"Oh. Well, it was a new class and I've been taking a couple karate lessons here and there on the vacations that we have. I would like to see if Miss O'Roake is up to my sempei's @1 standard. That's all." Hermione blushed when she revealed something she had had no previous intention of doing revealing.

Ron checked the time and exclaimed.

"WHAT!" Harry and Hermione shouted at him.

"WE'RE LATE!!!!!!!!!!"
