Disclaimer: Buffy and Harry Potter do not belong to me. If they did I would be doing kinky things with Snape, Spike and Draco all at once XD;;; Note: This is set after Buffy's season 7. And after Harry's 4th year. Time Setting: The end of the American school year, I think that is the end of May or beginning of June. Rating: PG for now I suppose. Pairing: Snape/Rosenburg A/N: I have not yet read OotP, so if anything conflicts, don't call me on it. I don't know what happens.

"You are going to England?" Buffy asked incredulously.
Willow nodded enthusiastically, "I got a letter about a week ago offering me a job in a private school there." She explained.
"So, you are really gonna go then, huh?" Buffy said rather dejectedly. "I mean, we just got settled here and all."
"Yeah, I know we did Buff, but this is a big opportunity for me. I need to take it."
"Well, I suppose it's time that you got out there in the world. You have to go somewhere... I mean after Sunnydale, anywhere is good to go to." Buffy chuckled, "I still can't believe that It just... caved in like that. It was a rather interesting sight." Buffy blinked back a tear despite her happy tone. She missed Spike. It was obvious, but Willow knew she wasn't quite ready to talk about it yet.
"Yep. This is pretty exciting for me. I know that you, Dawn and Xander will be ok without me, though." Willow chuckled, "I just can't believe I am going to be a teacher!"
"What is it that you will be teaching Wills?" The blonde inquired.
"I am not sure how to explain it really... It is kind of like a Social Studies class. I will be teaching a different culture to the students."
"Oh, well, that ought to be interesting anyway!" Buffy said. "When do you go?"
Willow looked a bit nervous, "The headmaster of the school wants me to be up there by August so that I can start planning my curriculum, get a feel for the school and meet the other teachers. But, I decided to go up early. That way I can learn a bit more English, English and get a bit more used to their ways."
"I see, when are you going to tell the others Willow?" Buffy said as the redhead bit her lip.
"I am gonna take everyone out for dinner tonight. I'll tell them then. But don't say anything 'k Buff?"
"I won't, you know that." Buffy smiled.

"Fanks for takin' us to eat Wills!" Xander thanked Willow through a mouthful of hamburger.
Dawn pushed her french fries around on her plate, "Yeah, it was nice of you Willow. So, what is the occasion?"
Willow set down her soda and took a deep breath, "I am moving to England." She braced herself.
"Y-you're leaving?!" Dawn stammered.
"Yeah. I was offered a job as a professor in a private school! Can you believe it?"
"But, you *leaving* us!" Dawn exclaimed, kind of angrily.
"Dawnie, this is a big opportunity for her. She would probably regret it later if she didn't take it." Buffy laid her hand on Dawns shoulder.
Xander swallowed his mouthful of food, "I definitely say you should go. I mean, we can always visit you right?"
Willow giggled, "Well of course you can! It isn't like I am totally abandoning you guys right? You can come visit on Winter Break and I can always come back for Summer Holidays!"
"Sounds good! So, when do you leave?"
"I will be leaving on Sunday." And so she did.

Willow arrived to her destination pretty late, for her anyway. It was afternoon in London. She was going to be staying with Giles until August the first. At which time she is supposed to take the train to the school she would be teaching at. Hogwarts. It was a rather amusing title for a school. She shrugged it off, England must just be a strange place.
Willow collected her luggage, paid the fare and walked up to the little cottage-like house that Giles lived in. Setting her luggage down she rapped on the door.
The door opened and Willow squealed. "Giiiles! I'm heeeeere!!" She stepped forward and squeezed him in a bear hug.
Giles helped her bring in her numerous suitcases and after depositing them in the room that she would be using, then they sat down to have a cup of tea. Willow added a lump of sugar and stirred it around until it dissolved. "So Willow, which school is it that offered you this job?"
Willow set her teacup back down onto the saucer. "It's a school called Hogwarts." At Giles odd expression she added, "I know, strange name isn't it? Is it an England thing? Cause then... Giles? What is it?"
"H-Hogwarts is a school that I learned about while training to be a, to be a Watcher." Giles kind of stuttered.
"Oh? What do you know about it?" Willow asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Well, I do think that you would like this about it... Hogwarts is a specialized school. It is one of the schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry here in Europe." Willows eyes grew wide and there was a glimmer of excitement in her green eyes. "I knew you would be excited about that. I know that you probably don't now too much about about the school. Headmaster Dumbledore is rather secretive. It is an honour to be invited to teach there." Giles removed his glasses and cleaned them on his sweater, "By the way, which class will you be teaching Willow?"
"I am teaching a class on different cultures I suppose. That is what the letter said anyway."
Giles placed his glasses back atop his nose, "Sounds rather like the 'Muggle Studies' class." At Willows confused expression he explained, "You see, the wizarding world is very much a sheltered world. Lots of witches and wizards do not know anything of the regular world that most people grow up in. To them, non-magical people are known as 'Muggles'. I assume that your job will be to teach the students about the world outside of the one that they know."
Willow and Giles talked about Hogwarts and the wizarding world for another hour until Willow decided that she wanted to unpack her belongings. She asked Giles to excuse her, then she headed upstairs. The only item she unpacked was her laptop computer. She wanted some 'Net time before she went to sleep.
She quickly plugged the computer in to the wall, her battery was in serious need of a charge, and dialed up to the Internet. She quickly opened her e- mail to send out a letter to the gang to tell about what Giles had just told her about the school. Also to divulge herself in her favourite chat site, 'Veneficus'.
