Sorry this took so long. I'm having a complete block on this story.

Chapter 11
Buffy and Oz walked into the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom to see a complete stranger at the desk. Most of the students were already there and looking at the man in confusion.

Buffy looked at Oz. "Does he smell evil?" she whispered to him.

He frowned and shook his head. "He's not evil but he wears the most disgusting after shave ever" he murmured.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Dawn walked in and Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped in their tracks.

"Lockhart?" said Harry in disbelief. Ron looked at him in disgust and turned to Buffy. "What the hell is he doing here?"

Buffy frowned. "I don't know but I'm gonna find out."

The man clapped his hands together, "Come on class. Everyone get to your seats."

Buffy and Oz exchanged a look and Buffy stepped over to him. "Excuse me" she said politely.

The man looked at her. "Who are you?" he said abruptly.

Oz joined Buffy. She frowned in confusion. "I am Professor Buffy Summers. I'm one of the Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers. This is my colleague Professor Osbourne."

The man laughed, displaying a set of pearly teeth, so white that Buffy wondered if he varnished them at night.

"My dear, you are funny! I am the Defence teacher. My name is Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and Five times winner of the Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. I'm sure you've heard of me. As I said, who are you?" he said snidely.

Buffy's mouth dropped open. Of all the smarmy, annoying, big-headed jerks...

She turned to look at Oz who was showing rare expression-one not to different from Ron's. She could smell Lockhart's after shave now and wrinkled her nose.

She folded her arms. "No, I haven't heard of you. And like I said, I am Professor Buffy Summers, Vampire Slayer, Twice Resurrected, Killer of the Vampire Master, Demon killer extraordonaire (sp?)"

She had to keep a straight face when she saw Lockhart's jaw drop at the mention of her destiny.

He looked rudely at Oz. "And you are?"

"Professor Daniel Osbourne, Werewolf." Oz said simply.

Lockhart let out a laugh. "My dear boy, I kill werewolves."

Buffy heard a loud snort from Ron's direction.

Oz shrugged. "I'm a different kind of werewolf"

"Actually" Buffy put in. "We were just about to do werewolves today. So if your finished, I'd like to start my class."

Lockhart puffed his chest. "Buffy, how many times do I have to tell you, I am the teacher here."

Buffy's eyes flashed. He took a step forward but Oz stopped her. "Look" he said calmly. "Until Dumbledore tells us to pack our bags because you are the teacher, we will remain teaching."

Lockhart paused. "Fine, I'll go see him now."

"No can do. He's meeting with the Ministry." Oz looked at Buffy before continuing. He gave her a Look. "But, you're welcome to sit at the back of the class and watch."

Lockhart grumbled and went to sit at the back of the classroom. Everyone went to their seats and Buffy noticed they were trying to sit as near to the front as possible. Dawn had told Harry, Ron and Hermione about today's class and they were sitting in the front row.

"Alright class, go to page three hundred and ninety-four of your books please."

Lavender raised her hand. "Miss, we've done this before."

"I know Lavender, just revise over it while we go and get something."

The class settled into an uneasy silence, all aware that Lockhart was watching them, especially Harry.

After a few minutes, sounds of grunting and metal scraping off the floor were heard. Buffy and Oz came in, pushing a massive metal cage. It was bigger than both of them and both of them looked exhausted pushing it. They put it beside the teacher's desk and Buffy let out a sigh.

"When I asked for a big cage, I didn't think it would be this heavy." She looked at Oz. "Okay Oz, strip off."

Everyone in the class exchanged looks. Oz glared at her and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Dawn, you got the tranq. gun?" Buffy asked. Dawn nodded and got out of her chair. She handed the gun to Buffy and stood to the side.

When Oz had stripped down to his boxers, he got into the cage and Buffy locked it. He sat down and closed his eyes.

Buffy said, "Don't worry, they're all safe. I won't let you hurt them. Take your time."

He nodded and Buffy turned back to the class. She told them about Oz's trip to Tibet, how the charms and meditations helped him control himself, and what he was like when he was a wolf.

She turned to Oz as he collapsed, holding his stomach. Buffy held the gun tightly, finger on the trigger, while he changed.

The whole class was silent while Oz changed from being a small, spikey- haired, monosyllabic man into a ravenous beast. His bones changed shape, his nose elongated into a snout, his whole body grew fur, his ears moved up his head and his teeth grew sharper.

The wolf threw himself against the cage, howling and growling. He clawed the iron bars desperately, trying to escape to the people outside. He looked at Dawn and started barking ferociously at her. She didn't even flinch. The students started backing away.

"Don't move" Buffy ordered. "you'll aggravate him. Go back to your seats and stay calm. He can't hurt you." The students shared a look and started to move back to their desks.

The wolf started slamming on the cage before giving up and lying down.

"Werewolves are primal animals." Buffy said, her eyes never leaving Oz. "They work on instinct. They rely mainly on their enhanced sense of sell and hearing. If they are hungry, they eat. It doesn't matter if it's dead or alive. A werewolf is amazingly strong. It could rip out your throat or heart easily. As I said, you become a werewolf if you are bitten or scratched by another werewolf. Unlike vampires, werewolves don't want to change people, they just want to hunt, to kill, to be free.

Wolves are territorial. They mate for life and their mate is considered part of their territory. Wolves and Werewolves can roam in packs or alone. The leader is the Alpha Werewolf. A werewolf can be hurt by silver and things like bullets don't kill it unless the bullet is silver."

The bell rang but nobody moved from their seats. Buffy lowered the gun as the wolf began to change back into Oz. She caught the sheet and bag Dawn threw at her and threw the sheet over the cage, effectively covering the cage. A hand appeared through the bars and Buffy gave it the bag. She looked at the class.

"You'd better go have lunch." Slowly, the class got up and left except for Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dawn and Lockhart. Lockhart seemed stuck to his chair. He got up at the same time that Oz came out of the cage, fully dressed.

"That rocked!" Ron blurted out.

Hermione nodded. "It was definitely one of the best classes we've ever had. Probably the best."

Oz looked at Buffy who smiled. "You did good. Except you started barking at Dawn."

Oz shrugged. "I don't remember any of it. Sorry though"

Dawn shrugged it off.

Lockhart cleared his throat. "I'll go talk to Dumbledore then." He left the room.

Buffy looked after him in amazement. "Who the hell is he?"

Harry sighed. "He used to be our Defence teacher about three years ago. Hermione fancied him." He shot a glance at Hermione who glared at him.

"I don't like him anymore." She said angrily.

"Okay. Anyway, he was this total fake who thought he was God's gift to women.......
