******Chapter 8: Surprising Surprises******
Dawn just stood against the door way, watching Professor McGonagal and Professor Summers teach. Then a hand pulled at her arm from outside and pulled her out of the door.
"Harry!" Dawn harshly whispered. "What are you doing now??"
"Coming to see you." He replied.
"Wow, how smooth. I'm going back into the classroom, and you're not following. Dawn walked back in, but he followed. She ran back out and down the corridors, but he still followed. She got to a dead end and turned to Harry. "What?" She asked, giving up.
"If Malfoy gets a chance, I get a chance. What did he say?"
"None of your business!"
"Yes it is!"
"Fine. You wanna know? Do you really wanna know?? He said I'm safer with him. He could always be there to comfort me and always be there anytime. Can you?"
"He's not safer."
"How do you know?"
"Because his family's with Voldemort. They're Death Eaters, Dawn. He is not safe. He couldn't comfort a cat and he won't always be there."
"How are you safer and crap then??"
"Because, I don't mean to brag, but I kind of defeated Voldemort a few times now. Can he say the same? Sure he's strong if you say, but probably the only reason he's on the bad side is because he didn't want to get on Voldemort's bad side. He couldn't even beat me with a wand."
"That's all I hear! What else do you have that he doesn't. Can you fly?"
"Yes."
"Good... Wait. What?"
******Boys Dormitory: Gryffindor******
"Oh my god. It's beautiful. It's cool. It's a broom! I've never seen one of these!" Dawn exclaimed, holding Harry's Firebolt. Harry let her in. Even though she's Slytherin.
"Got her from my god father." Harry mentioned.
"Oh my god. Does Draco have one of these??"
"No."
"Great! I mean, cool. Can you fly it?"
"Yea."
"When do you use it?"
"When I play Quidditch. It's a wizarding sport."
"Cool! How fast does it go?"
"FAST."
"Hey, I heard Dumbledore say to Buffy that there's going to be a Quidditch tournament this year. I didn't know what he meant at the time, but now I do."
"Really? We are? That's great!"
"You must love the game." Harry didn't know how to tell her how much he loved it, so he kept it at a 'Yea'. "I'll talk to Dumbledore today."
"Oh no. Everybody's going to be coming back in like, ten minutes, I better go. Bye!" She kissed Harry on the cheek and ran out. He fell on his bed and closed his eyes, smiling.
******The Next Few Weeks******
The next few weeks, Dumbledore mentioned a couple of times that the Quidditch Tournament would be coming back. And he also mentioned about the new captain for Gryffindor... it was Harry. Since Harry knew so much about the game and won them the world cup two years before, it was the best choice. He also talked about the next Hogsmeade trip. It would be three weeks after Oz had come. But for Harry, he got a few parties from the people in Gryffindor and a few kisses from Dawn. Every time Cho would come up to greet or congratulate Harry, he didn't get all flitter eyes or a weak stomach anymore because he didn't care for her. But every time Seamus came near Dawn, he got all flitter eyes and a weak stomach. Dawn tried figuring it out, but got nothing only the fact that Seamus probably...
"The Hogsmeade trip! Woohoo!" Ron cheered the Friday before the trip. "You guys will be surprised on what you might see..."
"What?" Harry asked.
"I'm keeping a promise, so nah." Ron replied.
"Well I personally can't wait either. I love Hogsmeade." Hermione flushed.
"Harry, did you ask Dawn there yet?" Ron asked.
"Um, not yet." Harry replied.
"Then I guarantee you that Malfoy already did." Ron replied. They were walking around the corridors. They seemed to do that a lot more often.
"What?!" Harry yelled. "Uh, sorry."
"Don't worry, Harry. As that, I bet she won't even have a good time with Malfoy." Hermione said.
"Then look at that." Ron said, stopping the three from turning a corner. They peeked over the side, and there was Dawn and Malfoy. Kissing. Roughly. Harry was about to blow. He clenched his fists so tight his palms began to bleed. Ron noticed Harry's flaming eyes. "You OK, Harry?" He asked, backing away.
"Just peachy." Harry muttered coldly and walked away.
"You know what's going to happen next." Hermione guaranteed.
"Yep. He's going to kill the bloody poof." Ron said, glancing at Malfoy, then walked away too.
******Buffy's Room******
"Stop avoiding me, Buffy! You always walk off every time I mention us. Well this time, you're not. You have to tell me straight right now. Do you love me?!" Spike yelled as Buffy came in. He closed the door and locked it from behind her.
"Do we have to start this now?" Buffy asked irritated.
"Yes! It's been a long time since we've had just a small conversation, so it starts now!"
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Do you really want to know?"
"God dammit, yes already!" Buffy walked up to Spike and grabbed his face, kissing his soft, tender lips quickly.
"Yes. OK? Yes. You wanted to know! Well now you know! Satisfied?? I love you." Buffy yelled. Spike's face turned from shocked to surprised.
"You what?" He asked. "I mean, that fast??"
"I'm tired of playing with your mind, Spike. McGonagal and I talked and she thinks it's the best thing to do. She made me realize that I love you for you, not for how you are in bed. She's a very wise woman."
"Very wise." Spike pushed her on the bed and started flooding her with passionate kisses.
******Hogsmeade******
"Where's Buffy? She said she would be here." Tara asked. Tara, Anya, Xander, Willow, and Oz were hanging out around the Witches Cauldron.
"Well, no offense to Buffy, but I'm going to have fun. She's not going to ruin my time!" Anya announced.
"Yea, let's forget it. She's probably safe where she is right now." Oz said.
"Have you tried butter beer yet?" Xander asked.
"No. Have you tried McDonald's chicken nuggets yet?" Willow asked.
******Harry, Ron, and Hermione******
"I've got to show you something, come on!" Ron said to Harry and Hermione, leading them down the street.
"What now?" Hermione groaned.
"This." Ron replied, presenting a small shop. It had a small display of joke puddy and green mold. And it said in big, bold letters at the top, Weasley's Wizard Weezes. Ron's eyes twinkled and he smiled boldly. "What do you think?" Harry and Hermione only awed. "Come on! Let's go in!!" They rushed inside and saw Fred and George, the red haired twins at the counter.
"Ron! Harry! Hermione! How's it going?" They asked brightly.
"Fred sent me an owl saying they opened up their very own joke shop." Ron said, looking around.
"Oh yea, thanks a lot Harry for the chance to open this up." George said.
"I guess it was worth it." Harry looked all around him. Everywhere was trick candy and exploding wands. "Wow."
"Yea, wow! What do you guys think?" Fred asked.
"It's great!" Hermione congratulate.
"Well, somebody helped us a few times. She said she's a friend of you guys, so we trusted her." George implied.
"Who?" Ron asked.
"A girl named Dawn, do you know her? Every weekend she would come over. Special permission from McGonagal. Did most of the decorating." Fred replied. They all looked at each other.
"Well, what now Harry?" Hermione asked.
******Around******
"Hey, did you see that new joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Weezes?" Dawn asked Malfoy.
"No." Malfoy shuddered at the thought.
"Wanna go check it out?"
"Uh..."
"Come on, it'll be fun."
"I don't get along with the Weasleys."
"How co- Oz! Lupin! Sup?" Dawn waved over at Lupin and Oz who separated from the Scoobies to do their own thing. They walked over to Dawn.
"Hey guys. Did you notice something weird about Tara?" Oz asked.
"Yea, she gets all shy around me." Lupin added.
"Well, she's shy with strangers at first." Dawn replied.
"We've been here for about three weeks, Dawn." Lupin reminded.
"If I know Tara, she's probably just tired or something when she acts like that."
"I don't know, what if she likes him?" Oz asked.
"But she's a lesbian."
"Remember Willow? First she was straight, then she was a lesbian. Same thing. No offense to her." Oz replied.
"I don't know, guys." Dawn flinched. "Tara, liking Lupin? Couldn't be."
"You so sure?" Oz asked, looking behind him. "Where's Spike and Buffy?"
******Xander and Anya******
They split up like Lupin and Oz as well, talking back and forth.
"Xander, we have to tell somebody."
"Why? Can't we tell later?"
"Ooh! I knew you'd be like this! Exactly like when we had to tell them we were engaged!"
"Come on, Anya."
"It'll be noticeable soon!"
"We can't tell until after the reception."
"Which will be at??"
"Hogwarts. We're going to have to."
"Great, there goes the Plaza."
"We couldn't afford the Plaza anyways."
"Still."
"Dumbledore said we could have it at Hogwarts, so truth be told."
"Truth be told that I am pregnant!"
"They'll blow their heads off."
"About what? They'll be thrilled! I'm telling them right now."
"Anya, wait. At least wait until we have everyone in the same room."
"Xander."
"Anya."
"Fine! Fine fine fine! Have it your way! But you don't get to name her."
"You mean him."
"I know it's a her."
"How?"
"I went to the nurse before we left! It's a girl! And it'll be one heck of a girl."
******Dumbledore's Office******
Dumbledore was doing his paper work, happily humming, until he heard a knock on the door. He pointed a wand at it and the door flew open, he still didn't look up.
"Good afternoon, Dumbledore." A familiar British voice greeted. Dumbledore looked up, and he smiled even brighter.
"Rupert Giles! Didn't think I'd ever see you again!" Dumbledore got up to shake Giles' hand.
"Good to see you too, Dumbledore. So why'd you call me here?"
"I am sort of in need of your help. I need a lot of research done, but I'm already all tied up in my own business, so I need you to help the librarian." Giles still didn't know that his old friends were teaching there.
"Great! About what?"
"I already know as much as I need to about Voldemort, but I'm still not fully aware of the Hell mouth and it's key." Giles gulped and looked away.
"Really? Well, I'll get right on it." Giles started walking away out of the door where the gargoyle let him in with out a password specially, until Dumbledore stopped him.
"I know who you are, Rupert. I wouldn't be such a good friend if I didn't. But you are a very smart man. That is why I called you here to be my assistant. Tell me what I need to know about this prophecy. It's important for the school and everyone's lives. I have a theory that has something to do with Dawn and Voldemort, and I really need your help on this. So don't pretend you don't have a clue." Giles stopped, looking down, then turning to Dumbledore.
"Well, as you probably already know, I am Buffy's watcher and Dawn is the key to the hell mouth..." Giles started, explaining every bit of information he knew from research he did a year a while ago back in Sunnydale.
