Authors Note: Hey! It's Friday! I'm gonna get this chapter up in time! YAY!
Heehee. I dunno why that's so exciting to ME. I HOPE it is to you. heehee.!
Muahaha. Here goes the crazy manic in me! And ya, angel does know. Lets
just say he.. Didn't take her seriously. Now he really believes it. That's
corny, but I messed up, and please forgive me for the mass confusion. Also,
I've changed my mind. Hogwarts WILL be starting Sept. 1. Sorry bout that
too.
Was anyone but me sad when they heard Richard Harris died? He was the PERFECT Dumbledore.

Chapter Five: Secrets, Secrets
"He has a what?" Angel was dumbfounded.
"Soul. Only, he's. totally insane. He keeps talking to Drusilla. Who is very not here," Buffy reminded him, "You heard him. Sometimes he even thinks you're Angelus."
"He has a soul. That does explain why he's crazy, but why is he talking to the person who made him evil? Shouldn't he be. sleepwalking, trying to stake her in his sleep? I tried to stake Darla." Angel responded.
"So, it's natural?" Buffy asked.
"Well, yes, but he seems to be clinging to the evil in him," Angel said, "Something's wrong."
"Well. Something's wrong with Spike. That's the biggest surprise ever."
"Well, maybe it'll get better. I'm not sure. I'm the only case of a souled vampire I know of, and maybe each case is different."
"Ok. So, you're pretty much saying you have no clue."
"Nope. Not one. Sorry Buff." Buffy looked up. For a second, they met each other's eyes. Then Buffy looked away.
"Well, we better-"
"Ya." Angel responded, and they walked back out into the lobby.
"You two didn't kiss, did you?" Anya asked.
"What?! No!" Buffy exclaimed. When Anya made a disbelieving face at her she added, "Honestly Anya. We are mature and responsible.
"I think the poof was mature and responsible a long time ago." Spike said, obviously having a rare sane moment.
"Spike." Angel practically growled.
Everyone had finally managed to gather in the lobby. Fred and Willow seemed to be becoming friends, and Anya and Cordelia were discussing the latest fashions. Gunn was looking amused at Xander's strange sense of humor. Dawn was just kind of sitting there, but was close enough to Willow and Fred to put in a comment when she actually understood what they were talking about, Spike was sort of off in a corner, actually he was sitting in a corner. Before he had been sane, now he was following an invisble something around the room like a cat when you wave something in front of his face.
"So... Angel," Dawn sounded a little nervous talking to him. "When are we leaving?"
"I'm not sure. Dumbledore hasn't owled me back yet." He told her.
As if on cue, a large, brown owl swooped into the lobby. It landed on the couch next to Angel. Angel untied the letter. He read it out loud.
Dear Mr. O'Malley, I'm pleased to hear that Hogwarts will be graced by the presence the slayer and the two souled vampires. I'm also pleased to hear that there will be several not-so-normal muggles with you. We also look forward to meeting you son, as he seems to be a not-so normal muggle himself. We anticipate your arrival on August eleventh, to prepare for the upcoming term.
Yours truly, Albus Dumbledore
When Angel got to the part about Connor, all the Sunnydale people's jaw dropped.
"Angel. Son?!" Buffy practically passed out. "You. Have. A. Son?" she sounded too shocked for words, "And you didn't tell me? Where is he?"
"He won't be joining us." Angel said. "He's been nothing but trouble, and I don't plan on trying to convince him on anything. I actually tried, he wouldn't listen."
"You make it sound like he's older than a baby."
"Long story, but he is, he's nineteen."
Shock. "Who's his mom?" she asked.
"Darla."
"Angel, your. a vampire. for one." Willow started. "And also, did you have this son when Buffy killed Darla?"
"No."
"But. that was. not nineteen years ago."
"Look, Buffy, it was a bad time, they brought Darla back. It was one night. She ended up pregnant. I don't know how. Buffy, she staked herself to let him be born."
"When?"
"Last year."
"And he's nineteen?"
"It's really along story." Fred started.
"And it involves Wes betrayin' Angel, a dead dude named Holtz who chased Angel here from. who knows when, and some hoppin; to and from Quar-Toth."
"Quar-toth?" Giles asked. "The child went. and came back? That's truly..,. amazing."
"They'll have to tell you the long, boring detailed version later. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I was in a box the whole summer. In the ocean. Connor put me there. See my point?" Angel said.
"Yes. Omigosh, that letter, it said we have to be there the eleventh. That's a week. We have a week to find Faith. She could be anywhere!" Buffy started to look a little more panicky than she usually got. Obviously, her slayer's nerves didn't stay together when what was at stake was spending a whole year in England with Angel.
"Sure, anywhere in the LA city prison." Fred said.
"Prison?" Xander looked a little like a fish, with his mouth hanging open.
"Another long story." Angel explained,
"Well, we'll just have to get her out." Buffy said.
