Hey! Sorry that it's kind of short, but I wanted to get it out. Thanks
all!
Chapter 2
The Scooby Gang filed sleepily ( except for Spike, who strutted cockily ) around the baggage return. Dawn watched the wheel go around, and around...
"Oooh! Look there's our luggage!" Willow exclaimed. She picked up a light green suitcase as Buffy picked up both Dawn and her stuff. Being two girls, it weighed a ton. Needless to say, Buffy's Slayer muscles certainly came in handy.
"Oof," Xander grumbled as he attempted to pick up a suitcase. He failed. " An, what exactly did you pack?"
Anya smiled at him and said earnestly, " Only my entire wardrobe, including all shoes and/or accessories. Why?"
Xander breathed a sigh of relief as Buffy swooped down on the suitcase. But even she had trouble with it.
"Spike," she called over her shoulder. " A little help?"
Meanwhile, Willow was conversing excitedly with Dawn about exactly what they would be seeing.
"Well, the letter said we would stay at Hogwarts. So we're staying at the school."
Dawn beamed this is so, so cool!"
Willow gushed with her. " I know!"
As they stepped outside, the darkness enveloped them. All of a sudden, someone materialized in front of them. It was a tall, skinny, wizened old man, and he had a long crooked nose and an open face. He smiled down at them, a twinkle in his eye. " Hello. I thank you all for coming." His gaze swept over all of them, resting on Anya. His smile widened. " Is that you, Annie?"
Anya rushed to him and threw herself into the man's hug. " Professor Dumbledore!"
"Hello, Annie. Well, I must say you look well." He looked closely at her. " You are not a demon anymore. Correct?"
Anya smiled as she straightened her skirt. " No. And look," she held out her hand, showing off the glittering diamond, " I'm engaged!"
She pulled Xander up next to her. He smiled weakly. "Do you have an owl?"
Dumbledore's attention turned to Dawn. " Hello, Dawn. I am Professor Dumbledore, and I will be your Headmaster at Hogwarts. You will be a fifth year, no?" Dawn nodded. Dumbledore chuckled. "Good! So you'll be with Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger. Delightful!" He leaned in a little closer. Dawn noted that he smelled like lemon drops. " If you need any help with catching up on work, ask Hermione. She's quite the student. I'm sure she'll help you out. In fact, I'm sure you two will be great friends." Dawn smiled at him. She had never really had any close girlfriends before.
Dumbledore finally looked back at everyone, and pulled something out from his coat. He dropped it on the ground. "Well, I brought the portkey. Shall we?"
Buffy stepped up, determined. "Let's."
Then everyone was being pulled navel first towards the brightly patterned sock Dumbledore had brought...
