Ollivander Wand Shop
"Ahh," an old man said, as Giles, Jenny, Methos, Duncan, Buffy, and Willow piled into the shop. "Our new teachers have arrived for wands." He looked at Willow and went to go get a wand coming back he handed it to her. She gave it a wave and soft breeze floated around the room.
"I thought so. A six inch wand made of Willow with a ground up werewolf tooth in the middle." He turned to Giles and gave him a look, handing him a wand, Giles also got a wave and looked inquiringly at the shop owner.
"Six inch Maple with a drop of Fyral demon blood.. mhmm that is very interesting!" He looked at Jenny and brought out another wand. "This is the mate to that one," he said indicating Giles's, she gave it a wave and she got a breeze. He turned and looked at Methos,
"I see Death has come to Hogwart's, I have just the wand for you." He hands Methos a wand, "Go ahead give it a wave!" Methos also got a breeze. "Just what I thought, an eight and a half inch willow wood wand with the ashes of three of the four horsemen." He turned to Duncan, while Methos studied the wand. He handed Duncan an eight inch willow wand too, and a breeze settled over the place
"What's in mine?"
"The blood of a muggle woman. Tessa? Something." He turned his attention back to Buffy, missing the tears form in Duncan's eyes. He handed her a wand, but when she waved it, it blew up part of the store. "Not that one." He eyed her and then turned and went into the back, you could hear boxes falling and him tripping over things. "I have had this one for a while, it is a six inch oak wand, give it a wave." She did so and she felt a familiar tingle go through her.
"Is this?"
"Yes, the soul of Angelus the Scourge of Europe, but also there is part of a ground up unicorn horn. That is most interesting. I have had this wand for over one hundred years, but the soul just came recently." He told her and was shocked when she burst out into tears.
"It will be okay." Methos told her, taking her into his arms, holding her gently. Ainnle and Liam started to growl,
'Stop that. He won't take your place.' Buffy told them gently, but then she felt a familiar tingle and heard a very familiar voice.
"I would remove your hands, before I remove your head." Angelus told him, as he walked into the store, everyone stared in shock at him; he smirked and then returned his stare to Methos. "If there is any need for comforting I will do it." Buffy turned in Methos' arms so that she could glare at Angelus.
"What do you want?"
"You."
"Like hell!" Methos said, "You will have to go through me first."
"Okay." Angelus said simply. They were interrupted by a sudden swarm of Death Eaters, they ignored everyone, but the petite blonde who was still in the older immortals arms. Everyone got into a fighting stance, Angelus moved closer to Buffy. Duncan, Methos, and Buffy took their swords out and waited, Buffy crooked a finger in a come hither manner..
"Bring it on." She told them and laughed when they did. "You know," she told them in a conversational tone as she beat the crap out of them, "that isn't supposed to work. You guys are dumb." She was on her way to dispatch the one sneaking up on Giles, when she heard an anguished cry, followed by a bright green light and the force of something going through her. Turning quickly, she realized that one of the wizards had tried to use the killing curse on her. Before she could do anything, though, Ainnle and Liam where on him, taking him down, while Angelus made his way to her.
A short time later, there was only one Death Eater left and Angelus picked him up.
"Tell Voldemort that he has a war and that my line is already on its way. She is mine! Did you think that this little trespass would go unnoticed? It will be hard to recruit people loyal to him, when they are being killed and turned!" Angelus pushed the man outside and watched as he scampered off, before turning back to Buffy.
"How are you doing?" he asked, worry evident in his tone, he never saw Duncan sneak up behind and hit him, but he did feel the world go back. "I hate your friends." He told her, just before the darkness claimed him.
"Well there something you don't see everyday." A young boy, with a Scottish accent said, looking at the masses of bodies. "I suppose you are the new teachers. I can tell that this year is going to be fun. What are all of you teaching?" he looked at Willow and Buffy, "Well aren't you pretty? You guys must be first year students. Are you related to the Weasley's?" He got a glare from Methos and a laugh from both girls.
"Well, I'm a student and no I'm not related to the Weasley's." Willow told him, "But Buffy is a professor, she is teaching Muggle Defense or something like that." They laughed even harder when the boy's ears turned red. "You are?"
"Sorry, Professor. I am Oliver Wood. I am in Gryfindor." He told them, "I'm sorry, but how old are you?"
"16." She told him and laughed, when a look of disbelief crossed his face.
"Dumbledore has lost it!" Everyone laughed harder and he turned a bright shade of red as he realized that he had voiced that opinion out loud. "Right then, I will be on my way to the Leaky Cauldron."
"And I will take care of them." the little shop keeper told them, and refused to take their money when they tried to pay him, "You've just saved me, it was the least I could do." Buffy picked Angelus up in a fireman hold and began to lead everyone to the pet shop, so that they could get their animals.
'What do I do if he wakes up again?' she thought.
'We will watch him." Ainnle told her and she smiled her gratitude.
"What is that smile for?" Duncan asked, "Because your ex-boyfriend isn't going to be too happy when he comes around." He told her and she grinned even wider and looked at Liam and Ainnle. "Oh, never mind then." He told her.
They walked into the pet store and Buffy put Angelus on the ground and Ainnle and Liam immediately stood guard. She walked over to the birds and she saw a gorgeous bird, the color of fire.
"She's almost as beautiful as you," Angelus told her. "She's a phoenix, they burst into flames and are reborn from the ashes, she is also very loyal." The phoenix flew to Buffy and landed on her shoulder, "And they are good judges of character." Buffy eyed Angelus with a thoughtful expression.
"And I should believe you, why?"
"Because I have never lied to you."
"He is honest, although exteremly brutal." Giles told her, as he heard the last part of the conversation. "So why do you want Buffy?"
"Because she is mine." He said simply.
"Would you force her?"
"Probably, but I would prefer her to come to me of her own free will."
"If I let you go, what do you plan to do?" Buffy asked, quite curious about it all. Before he could answer an owl flew to him and dropped a letter in his lap. Buffy took it from him and read aloud.
"Dear Mr. Angelus,
It has come to my attention that we need help in the Muggle Defense Department and that you would be best for the job.. or rather the most qualified against the slayer. Because of this, I wish to invite you to Hogwart's to assist Ms. Summers. Mr. MacCleod, should you say yes, will be moved to Care of Magical Creatures.
Nice job with the Death Eaters and your line is most welcome, so long as they don't eat my students.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore." Buffy stopped reading and looked in shock, Angelus' grin got extremely wide.
"So, when do we go?" he asked, and Buffy sighed in defeat at the thought of having to teach with him.
"Arrogant Prick!"
"I can hear you."
'Fine, arrogant prick!' she thought and she could swear that Liam and Ainnle were laughing.
"Hey! I can still hear you. If you are going to insult me, at least come up with a new one." He told her and then noticed her shocked expression. "What?" he asked.
"I didn't say anything out loud." Giles looked between them in confusion, before saying..
"This need research!" They got Willow's books and then headed back to Hogwart's, with Methos glaring at Angelus the entire time and Duncan trying not to laugh at the older immortal. After all, he didn't want to lose his head.
