Founder's Child

A/N: this fic is different from everyone else's, if not then they stole my character and owe me big time. This fic isn't about Buffy, it's a Spike fic, and Destiny, there's a lot about her. This fic is more about the founders' children, they are very important, though it will be a while before I reveal them all. That line "...still nobody noticed that Spike didn't eat anything, except a few of the teachers." I just couldn't think of a better way to put it at the time, though I still can't. Also, in one of the earlier chapters I said in an author's note that the dates may be wrong but I need them for my story the way I put them, but then again, I saw an ep and Angel said that he was like 242 years old so, I'm not super sure, but so the my brain doesn't keep telling me I'm wrong I'm going to keep it the way it is. Oh, yeah, I found out that I've been spelling Dumbledore wrong, so that correction will take place in future chapters. K?

~*~1 am—Hogwarts (picking up from last time)~*~

"William," Hagrid said coming upon Spike, who he was just looking for, at the front doors of Hogwarts.

"Oh, hello, Hagrid," Spike said taking a puff from his cigarette.

"I was just looking for you," Hagrid said taking out the letter the Destiny had asked him to deliver and handing it towards Spike. "I need to give you this."

"You're lucky you caught me, I was just going to go in," Spike said with a laugh as he took the letter, before his face turned serious when he saw the handwriting on the front. "Who's it from."

"Destiny, she asked me to get it to you immediately, just left into the forest," Hagrid explained.

"Thanks," Spike said putting his cigarette out.

"'Night then Professor," Hagrid said before going back towards his cabin.

"Good night," Spike called before going towards the forest.

The trees towered darkly before him as he stepped through the first row.

"Destiny, Destiny, you in there?" Spike called knowing that if she was deep in the heart of the forest where he thought she was, she'd never hear him.

Just as he had thought, there was no answer, only a cold wind coming up from the south.

~*~FRIDAY (THE NEXT DAY) AFTERNOON—Hogwarts ~*~

"Ok, class, today we're going to go back to what we're were talking about on the first day," Spike said as soon as the students had settled down. "Back to the question I asked last time, but with a little altering. Has anyone heard of the other three members of Angelus's group?"

This time, only Draco and several of the other Slytherins raised their hands.

"Yes, Draco," Spike said pointing at him.

"They are Destiny, Rowen, and Thorn," Draco said with an air of knowing. "Destiny was the daughter of-"

"That's all I'm going to let you tell the class, I want each student get a partner from the other house, and choose one of the three to do a project on," Spike said quickly. "I want you to try and contact each one of them. Don't invite them in of course, seeing as they are vampires, but I want you to find out as much as you possibly can about the person you choose. The bell is going to ring in about four minutes, so you might want to find your partners, now."

~*~THREE WEEK TIME SKIP(summary)~*~

The next three weeks at Hogwarts were spent quietly, as soon as Harry's DADA class started, everyone separated to work with their partners. Draco and Hermione were working together seeing as they both knew a lot about the vampire group, and they didn't want to have to go through every detail more than once. Harry and Ron had amazingly been able to find partners with two Slytherin girls fairly easily.

Buffy had kept in contact with Dumbledore making arrangements for her and Giles to come to Hogwarts. The black owl wasn't always used though Buffy secretly preferred it to the white barn owl sometimes used.

~*~(End of summary) JUST AFTER SUNSET-Friday Night—October 2—Hogwarts~*~

"Dumbledore, I wasn't sure you'd make it," Destiny said stepping out of the last row of trees.

"I wasn't sure that you'd make it either," Dumbledore said walking the last few yards towards her.

"It's been so long, I have heard that you are now headmaster," Destiny said her sword disappearing from her back.

"Hagrid said that you have something important to tell me," Dumbledore said noticing the sword vanish.

"That I do, but it's too dangerous to tell you with the hellmouth just behind me," Destiny said motioning to the forest just as several black figures moved within.

The sword appeared on her back, grabbing it, Destiny swiftly went into the forest, scaring the figures away. Just as quickly as she had gone in, she came out the sword again vanishing.

"The others, they know who I am, the Dark Lord's follower's have heard and told him, he's looking for the new hellmouth now, but we demons aren't so stupid as to tell him exactly where it is, he's coming," Destiny said her voice all misty. "Though this isn't about him. It's about the children, we must get back to the place of our parents."

"If this is you asking to come in, I won't, I can't, it's too dangerous," Dumbledore said shaking his head.

"I know, your worry is about the students, I'll be talking to you again, but hear me, you only have till Halloween, once one is in, the others must come to, to fulfill the prophecy," Destiny said before disappearing into the forest again, the sword glinting in the night.

~*~THE NEXT AFTERNOON-Hogsmead~*~

"I'm so glad this is a Hogsmead weekend, I don't think I could have taken another weekend of essays," Ron said as he, Harry, and Hermione walked down the busy street toward where snuffles usually met them.

"Yeah, and I've wanted to talk to snuffles about the new teacher for a while," Harry said as a slivery cat darted by.

"Why?" Ron asked.

"Because, I keep getting this weird feeling like something's going to happen," Harry said. "Like he's more than what he seems, and, I don't know."

"Your scar's not hurting is it?" Hermione asked almost worriedly.

"No, nothing like that," Harry said as they neared the spot where they usually met Sirius.

Looking ahead they saw the familiar black dog, but beside it was the silvery cat. Just as they came near the cat ran off back towards the shops.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hey, I know this chapter was a little bit shorter than my last one, but I have to do some time skipping and I found that if I write too much in one of the time skipping chapters it doesn't really work that well. More to come like tomorrow or latter tonight, as soon as I figure out how to work this chapter I wrote in school into it cause it's like really important to the whole fic. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews, any mistakes tell me, I'll try to fix them.
