Founder's Child
A/n: when I say that they were the only ones to survive I mean that they were the only ones of the group that fought it that survived.
~*~THE NEXT DAY—Hogwarts~*~
The next morning at breakfast, Spike was passing out schedules for some of the students. With his blond hair and muggle clothes all the students were talking about him, though not where he could hear them, but even still, he knew (cause of the whole demons can read minds thing).
"Which one of you is Harry Potter?" Spike asked coming over to the Gryffindor table.
"Over here," several students said surprised that he didn't know who Harry was.
"And Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger?" Spike asked handing Harry his schedule.
"I'm Hermione, this is Ron," Hermione said pointing to herself then to Ron.
"Ok," Spike said handing them their schedules before going on to a few of the other houses with schedules.
Looking down at their schedules they saw that once again they had double potions with the Slytherins that morning. Their next class was DADA again with the Slytherins. Then Harry and Ron had Divination, while Hermione had Arithmancy. Finally, they had Herbology with Hufflepuff.
"I wonder what he's like for a teacher," Fred said looking up from his schedule after seeing that he and George had Spike for first class of the day. "He seems like kind of a strange person, dressing like a muggle and all."
Quickly, they finished eating and ran off towards their first class, still nobody noticed that Spike didn't eat anything, except a few of the teachers.
~*~SECOND PERIOD (or what would be second period for Harry and Co.)~*~
"Wow, that was strange," George said almost excitedly as he came out of the DADA classroom just as Harry, Hermione, and Ron were coming to it to go in.
"Aren't you going to be late?" Hermione stated/asked, more like stated though.
"Nope, we have free period," Fred said before he and George disappeared around the corner talking about pranks that they could pull on some of the teachers.
"Hurry up," Spike said to the students in the hall as he stepped out the door.
Quietly the class filed into the classroom and sat down, Slytherins on one side and Gryffindor on the other.
"Ok, I'm going to call off the names from this attendance sheet, you're going to say 'here' when I call your name. You won't lie, because I can tell if you are and I won't be too happy. After today I will not call role or anything like that, I'll just get started right in on the lesson and you will be ready. You will not need your text books, unless I say otherwise which most likely won't happen. We won't be using wands, spells, or magic at all in this class," Spike said almost threateningly as most of the students became apprehensive about being in this class, before he called role.
The students looked around as he called role. They all noticed that the windows had been covered by black curtains, sheets, blankets, anything dark or black was used to cover the windows. Not a shred of sunlight made it into the room. There were lanterns and candles that kept the room lit up just enough so that everyone could read in there without hurting their eyes.
"One more quick thing, this is very important, so listen," Spike said looking around at all the students. "Never remove the black curtains away from the windows in here. If you do, it will not be a happy time."
The class sat silent at this not sure what to think.
"Ok, with all that done, we better start the lesson," Spike said moving in front of his desk a hint of amusement in his face, this having to do with what his lesson plan was going to be. "The first thing I am going to teach you is about vampires. Then, about the slayer. That's all that I'm going to pre-tell you. If you have any questions, you might want to ask now. This first lesson will be different than usual ones. Today I will allow you to ask me questions about whatever, and I will answer them best to my ability."
A small wave of interested whispers went over the class.
"Any questions, about me, the slayer, vampires, or anything at all right now," Spike asked/said surprised that nobody had asked anything yet.
"Are you going telling us that a child's bedtime story, the slayer, is real," Draco said with a small laugh.
"No, but it seems more like you're telling me that someone that I've fought against, with, and for is just a figment of everyone's imagination," Spike said. "Are you telling me that the council is fake, that you have been saved countless times by a girl that doesn't exist, that she has stopped the apocalypse from coming twice, and she's not even real?"
"Excuse me, sir, but I've been studying vampire and other demons and every book I've ever seen says that she's not real that muggles just made her up when the vampires came to feel safer," Hermione said.
"She should know, she's practically read every book ever written," Ron said under his breath, though Spike still heard him.
"Really," Spike said to Hermione. "Then you would have heard of Angelus the Scourge of Europe, William the Bloody, Darla, and Drucilla, they fought with the slayers quite a bit. Killing most."
"Yes," Hermione said.
"Then would you care to fill the class in on them, I'll tell you if you have any facts wrong. They will be the group of vampires that we will study, though we will study other groups, this one is most important," Spike said.
"Yes, well, Angelus, call Angelus the Scourge of Europe, was the worst, the head of the group," Hermione started. "He has been said to have killed six slayers, but nobody has heard of anything from him in at least two hundred years."
"Do you know what happened to him?" Spike asked with amusement.
"Most think that he's dead, or whatever dead is for a vampire, some still think that he's out there," Hermione answered.
"Actually he has just recently died," Spike said a little bit solemnly as he remembered how Angle had fought along side them in the final battle to save the world. "He, too, has fought along side the slayer, not as enemies but as friends, not many can say that."
"But isn't the slayer supposed to kill the vampires?" some kid in the back asked.
"Yes, but have any of you heard of a vampire with a soul?" Spike asked the amusement coming back.
"There's no such thing," Hermione exclaimed. "They lose their souls when they become vampires."
"Yes, but there is a spell to return the soul," Spike said before changing the subject to the next of the group. "Has any one heard about the fifth and sixth vampires of the group?"
Everyone just sat quietly. Hermione silently raised her hand. Spike was about to call on her, but Draco raised his hand. Just as Spike was about to call on him the bell rang.
"Ok, because we have to study on how to destroy vampires we won't be able to get back to this discussion for a few weeks, but I assure you that we will continue, maybe even do projects," Spike said before the students left.
~*~A few hours later—Sunnydale~*~
"Buffy, you may want to stop waiting for the owl to come back with a reply," Giles said looking up from a book and over to Buffy, who was looking out the Magic Box's glass door for the return of the owl. "It does take a while to fly over the Atlantic Ocean."
"You're probably right," Buffy said walking over to the table.
"Why don't we train some; you can never get enough training in," Giles suggested trying to get Buffy's thoughts away from the letter.
"Do you really think that another Hellmouth is going to open?" Buffy asked.
"Destiny said that she'd keep us informed if another one opened," Giles said.
"How would she know when one opens?" Buffy asked a little resentfully.
"She'd know because it's the devil calling one of the demons down, and if they don't respond, it gets bigger and bigger, more dangerous with each second," Giles said as they walked into the training room.
"Fine," Buffy said preparing to dodge a knife that she knew Giles was going to start with.
