IN CHAPTER 12::: she wants to play this. let the games begin. CHAPTER 13: Schedules

The next morning Buffy woke up a half an hour late. She quickly put on her school robes and ran down the dormitory staircase. Will was down there patienly waiting for her. It looked like she was doing some last minute changes to last nights essay on vampires.

"Buff! It's about time! Their handing out schedules today!" Will said excitedly.

"Ok... lets go..." Buffy said still half asleep.

So they ran down to the Great Hall and everyone was just starring at Prof. Dumbledore.

"Did we miss something?" Will asked Spike as they sat down.

"Dumbledore just announced that potions class will be postponed because Snape is missing." Spike answered.

"Well, isn't that a good thing? I heard that Snape was like the most harsh teacher here!" Buffy said.

"He was, but... no one..." Oz was studdering. Buffy knew what he was trying to say. He was trying to say that no one desearved to be out there on his own with Voldemort planning his revenge on the little boy who stopped him last time... whatever happened to him??? She wondered to herself.

"Ok, now that everyone is with us..." Dumbledore said looking at Will and Buffy. "I'll hand out everyone's schedules for the year." And with a swipe of his wand a piece of parchment appeared in everyones hands.

"Buffy, what did you get for your second year classes?" Oz asked noticing Spike trying to look at her schedule and see without asking her.

"Umm... Transfiguration 1st, Care of Magical Creatures 4th, and .... Basic Spells Year Two 5th..." Buffy answered. Spike checked his schedule and smiled, he had all of them with her.

"Hey Red, are you in any advanced classes?" Spike asked Willow.

"I was in Potions but seeing how Prof. Snape isn't here... I just have Transfiguration 1st..." Will replied.

"Cool, so we all have at least 1 class together!" Oz said looking at Spike to see if he was right, and Spike nodded starring at Buffy.

All four of them walked out of the Great Hall with the whole mass of people heading off to their first class. Will took Buffy to the side...

"We'll catch up with you guys in class, save us a seat!" Will screamed to Oz and Spike as they got pushed along with the crowd. "Whats up with you and Spike?" she asked Buffy when they were far enough away and the crowd had died down.

"Nothing, we have to go, we're gonna be late for class..." She said beginning to walk away, she really didn't want to talk about it because she would most likely cry but at the same time, she did.

"I'm not buying it." Will said, holding her back.

"Will, its... that girl! The girl he rode in the carraige with... Harm or whatever that sluts name is..." Buffy said.

"Yes, her name is Harm, short for Harmony, and shes not a slut!!" said a guy from behind them.

"Xander? Is that you???" Will said giving him a huge hug.

"Ya, its me!!" He said struggling to break free.

"Oh, Buffy, Xander, Xander, Buffy... Buffy likes Spike and is jealous of Harm because of what happened in the carraige." Will explained to Xander.

"Ohh, look, ummm Buffy, as much as I hate.... Spike... nothing happened on the way to the school. They went out last year... but nothing more than that.. he broke up with her at the end of the school year." Xander said to Buffy.

"But... I saw them kiss!" She said defending herself and walking them to class.

"No, you saw Harm TRY to kiss Spike, sounds like something she would do..." Will said.

"... so... oh my god... I feel sooo bad!" She said. "I'm going to apologize right now!" And with that she ran off for the Transfiguration room.

"I told ya that would work!!" Xander said to Willow.

"Ya, she had to listen to someone... but... why did you have to tell her?" Will asked.

"Umm... well... I..." Xander studdered.

"Well??? Spit it out!! We're almost to my class!! OH MY GOD! YOU LIKE HER!! YOU LIKE HER DONT YOU???!!!" Willow yelled.

"Ok... ya.. and now the whole world knows! Gee thanks!" Xander said as he walked in the opposite direction to his class, he was a 3rd year.

Willow walked into class without noticing how late she was. She saw Buffy sitting in the back corner and Spike in the front, opposite corner. That wasn' t like him... She sat in them empty seat next to Oz.

"Ms. Rosenburg, YOUR LATE!" Said Prof. McGonagall loudly.

"Yes, I know... I'm sorry..." Willow stumbled.

"Don't let it happen again." Prof. McGonagall said.

The two hours went by quickly with the only people talking being Will and Oz.

"How are we going to get them to get over themselves??? Oz asked Will in a note.

"I dunno..." She wrote back. "We'll need to trick them to get them to meet eachother... oh, I got it...... Quidditch!!"

"Perfect!"

"Ok class, you are dismissed." Spike practically ran out of the room and Buffy looked like she'd been crying.

"Whats wrong??" Will asked Buffy.

"Well, I apologized... and he... he..." she didn't finish and if she did Willow couldn't understand because she ran out of the room and to only god knows where.

"BUFFY!!" Oz and Will said at once.
