Chapter 8: To Woo and Diagon Alley
Malfoy Manor

'Angelus,

I could not find that much out. She goes into the forbidden forest nightly by herself, also the two dogs. They have almost caught me, I honestly have no idea why Dumbledore lets her keep them. Her companions are Adam Pierson and Duncan Macleod, and for some weird reason the birth certificates seemed faked. There also seems to be a connection with Connor Macleod, who was investigated by the police and they found something odd. His signature matched signatures as far back as 100 years ago.

Snape does not seem to like her, but that might be because she decked him for hitting on her. It seems he went flying across the room. How can she do that? Oh, Pierson did not like that and he threatened Snape with a sword!

She is teaching Muggle Defense with Duncan as her assistant. She spends allot of time with Giles and Jenny who are teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, along with Willow who is assisting them. And Adam Pierson is teaching Magical History.

I was listening in on one of their conversations and I heard something about immortals and a prophecy involving Buffy and the two dogs. I don't really understand it, but here is what I heard.

The chosen one shall die her second death at the hand of her nemesis(soulmate?) and the two human hounds shall rest at her grave, til she rises once more, truly immortal. She shall purge the world of evil and she will start with the wizard.

But I guess there was more, because the older one kept muttering something about a new prophecy that needed to come to pass, but it didn't make sense. He also couldn't read it because it was in a language he had never heard of, but Pierson could read it.

They plan on going to Diagon Alley tomorrow, they all need to get wands. What kind of teachers are they? Why do they need wands if they have never had them before?

Sincerely,

Draco Malfoy.'

As Angelus was reading the letter he went into game face as he read what Snape did, it didn't help when he read that Methos had gotten to threaten the whelp.

'Enjoy it while you can,' he thought, 'my time is coming. I will reclaim my mate, even if I have to deal with those damn dogs. But you will not live to see the day.'

Forbidden Forest

Buffy walked slowly through the forest, very glad for the slayer sight, Ainnle and Liam accompanied her, but there was also a unicorn following her. Which was weird, because according to Giles they generally shy away from humans, especially Muggles. Shrugging she continued on her way, she could feel the darkness pulling at her.

'It seems my spidey sense is in overdrive,' she thought.

'We can feel it too.' Liam told her and she petted them briefly.

'Something is coming.' Ainnle told her. Buffy quickly got into a fighting stance and waited for whatever it was to attack, she knew to trust Ainnle and Liam, they had never lead her wrong. She knew that someone had been following her into the forest, but she wasn't sure who it was. It felt human, but she could also feel something different about it, like the person had magic, which would make sense since she was at a school for magic.

Buffy was thrown to the ground as something tackled her from behind. She kicked backwards and she could feel her dogs pulling at whatever it was. When she was free she turned to look at what she had been fighting. She found a burly, green demon, with three eyes and no mouth. She eyed the demon, wondering how to kill it. Shrugging she settled for a beheading.

'That should work.' She thought and she felt Liam and Ainnle circle the demon, herding it into Buffy's range. She swung her sword and decapitated the body. She watched as it dissolved. 'At least it cleaned up after itself. Thank you boys.'

"Come on Ainnle and Liam, time to go home." As they were heading out she felt a tingle go down her spine and she knew he was there. "What do you want Angelus?" She felt Liam and Ainnle tense up, but she petted them, holding them back as he stepped into view.

"World peace," He said, "My mate, and oh! I know what I really want your friends head on a fucking platter." He watched as she flinched and automatically went to her sword before stopping herself.

'Interesting. Must be one way to kill him.' Angelus tucked that information away for later use. He then plastered one of his half smirks on his face and got as close as the two dogs would let him.

"Interesting choices on names." He started off. "You do realize that Liam was Angel's name before he was turned and Ainnle was his little brother."

"Yes, but that still doesn't explain what you want."

"You." He stated simply.

"Well you can't have me."

"Are you sure lover?" he asked, "Because the other night you had admitted that you were mine." He laughed when Buffy's face turned bright red.

"Yes, well that was lack of sleep talking." She told him, mentally berating herself for listening to him with the wrong part of her anatomy.

'And they say guys think with their dicks!' she thought, 'I am worse than a guy! I let my stalker, serial killer, ex-boyfriend almost fuck me standing in the training room, with Methos dead on the ground. I so was not thinking right.'

"Would you like to come over here and say that?" he asked, really hoping that she would come over there.

"No." she said, quickly knowing that she would give into him. Buffy decided that she had had enough with the conversation, so she turned around and began to make her way back to her room.

"This view is nice too." Angelus told her, staring at her ass. Buffy whirled around and glared at him.

"Can't you go find Dru and stalk her? She enjoys it." She said, before giving her password to the picture and going in with Ainnle and Liam. But Angelus heard her password and he tucked the knowledge away for later use.

'First to see Draco about how to put the two dogs to sleep.' Angelus went off to find the Slytherian.

Later that Night: Buffy's Room

Buffy tossed and turned in her sleep, her dreams filled of Angel turning into Angelus and Angelus killing her friends. She felt his arms close around her and knew she was dreaming and that he would protect her. She turned in his arms and threw one leg over his hip, as her arms went over his shoulders, holding him to her. He brushed his hands down her body and cupped her ass, rubbing her womanhood against his arousal, causing her to moan and moisture to seep out.

"Wake up lover," Angelus commanded as he slipped her out of her clothes, bending down to take her nipple into his mouth, suckling like a small child. "I want you awake for this and to remember this." He teased her slowly into awareness and he knew the exact moment that she awoke, because she stiffened in his arms and attempted to get free.

"We both know that you want this," he told her, before slipping a finger inside her tight sheath and laughed delitedly when she arced into his hand. "I see that you have been faithful to me and haven't touched Pierson. Which is good, now I won't torture him.. much." He told her, continuing to tease her, "All that you have to admit is that you are mine. And I will give you what you want."

"Never!" she declared, even as her body betrayed her and responded to him. She felt him chuckle and even that seemed to make her body sing.

"You know you want to admit." He said coaxing her, hoping that she would give in soon, because he was about to take her whether she admitted it or not. He let her feel how much she affected him and she instinctively tried to take him into her. "Just tell me." He pushed just the head in and waited, he felt her lift her hips and take him deeper.

"I'm yours." She told him, damning her body and lust filled brain. She felt him push all the way in and felt momentary pain as he took her virginity, but then she felt blinding pleasure. She felt his fangs sink into her neck and then blackness engulfed her.

Angelus pulled out of her, knowing that she would rise again shortly. He quickly drew her and left her a message of 'Soon' and left it by her bed, and he left, because the dogs would be waking up soon. He left the roses that he had gotten for her, by her bed and kissed her gently, before leaving.

Next Morning

"I have no idea what the demon is, but I will look it up." Giles told her, after she filled him on the nights patrol.

"Giles," she said, "he was in my room and he left me flowers and a picture." She told him, leaving the rest out.

"Who?" he asked, "Angelus?" he looked at her sharply and when he saw her look, he knew that he was right.

"Did you keep the flowers?" he asked and at her nod he continued, "I believe he is trying to court you. He has already tried to turn you, but when that didn't work, I believe, he is trying to win your affection back." He told his slayer. "We must change your password to your room." He told her.

Voldemort's Lair

"Malfoy, I want you to kill the slayer."

"Yes, sir. Angelus is already on it." Malfoy told him.

Malfoy Manor

"Angelus?"

"In here."

"I have something for you." Malfoy handed him a ring, and Angelus looked it over.

"Is this?"

"Yes, it is the gem of Amara." Malfoy told him. "Voldemort wishes for you to kill the slayer and you will need this to do it." Angelus turned to him and slowly advanced on him, Malfoy backed up realizing that they did not have the vampire under control.

"Did you think that I would kill my mate?" he asked, "Tsk, tsk. You did not do your homework, everyone knows that she means everything to me. Do you think that you will make it out of here alive?" Angelus waited for his words to sink into his head. "I will give you a ten second head start, starting, now." Angelus counted,

'1.. 2.. 3.. Ahh Fuck it! He's gonna die anyways.' Angelus thought, before following Malfoy. He killed him quickly and went to Voldemort's lair. He dropped the body and turned to face everyone there.

"The slayer is mine. If you touch her you go against my entire line and me.. and you don't want that." Angelus turned and left, the Gem of Amara shining on his hand.

'She should be at Diagon Alley by now.' He thought. 'What present should I get her next? Maybe Pierson's head.'
