Chapter 10: Annoying Link and Quidditch
Hogwart's: Early Morning

Giles paced back and forth across the room, as he tried to figure out this new development, while Angelus sat on one side and everyone else, except for Buffy, who was staring out the window, looking deep in thought.

'Why can't I move on?' she thought to herself, 'what did I ever do to deserve this? Why can't he leave me alone?'

"Because you are mine." Angelus said out loud, making everyone jump.

"Would you mind not doing that?" Willow asked, "Cause it is just creepy." Everyone nodded their agreement, while Buffy and Angelus rolled their eyes.

'Stay out of my head.' Buffy told him, he just smirked at her.

"I hate you just so you know." Buffy told him.

"No you don't."

"Yes, she does." Methos said, going to stand behind her and pulling her into his arms, ignoring the growl he got from Angelus.

'She's mine now vampire.' Methos thought, and Buffy stiffened in his arms.

"Bloody hell!" She exclaimed.

'Great! Now I'm sounding English!' she glared as Methos and Angelus laughed. Methos and Angelus looked sharply at each other.

'She thought that!' Methos told himself.

'Duh!' Angelus thought.

'Prat.'

'Bastard'

'Vampire'

"Stop!" Buffy shouted, scaring everyone in the room. "Jeez! I have to hear both of you. that's it you and Methos can teach the damn history and Duncan can still fucking help me!" she screamed, before turning and leaving, followed closely by Willow.

'Well that went swimmingly.' Methos thought.

'Yea, you'll be swimming with the fucking fishes soon!' Angelus told him and smirked when Methos glared at him.

"That is really unnerving." Giles said, and Jenny nodded, while Duncan smiled, enjoying the torment Methos was going through. "I'm going to talk to Dumbledore, to see if there is some way that you guys can protect your thoughts." Giles and Jenny left, leaving Methos, Angelus, and Duncan alone in the room.

"Leave." Methos told Angelus, "She doesn't need you and she has me."

"Ahh, but that is where you are wrong." Angelus said, "She does need me, even without the soul, I will always be her love and everything." Angelus told him.

"Yes, well I can be your death." Methos told him.

"Already were." Duncan coughed softly and smiled innocently when Methos glared at him.

"Well, how about we let her decide?" Angelus asked. "We can both court her and see who she picks."

"Fine, any rules?" Methos asked.

"Nope." They all turned and left the room, Duncan and Methos going to their rooms, while Angelus went to his.

Outside

"Buffy! Wait up!" Willow yelled and smiled when the slayer stopped. "You okay?"

"That would be a big no!" Buffy said and continued, "First off, my serial killer, stalkerish, ex-boyfriend is here and my new sort of boyfriend, that used to be Death is here also and I can hear both of their thoughts and they are acting like fucking children!"

"Well, I can't say I have ever been there, but hey! It could be worse!"

"How?"

"Spike could be here." Willow said. Just then someone stumbled into them.

"Watch were you are going." The obnoxious boy exclaimed. "Damn mudbloods!"

"Malfoy!" a familiar, very sexy Scottish accented voice exclaimed.

"What do you want Wood?" But before he could say anything else Buffy interrupted.

"Excuse me?" She asked. "We did not walk into you, you walked into us and you so owe us an apology." She told him and finally got a good look at him. Willow and Buffy gasped in shock, it was a mini-Spike, that was so cute!

"You walked into me." Mini-Spike said, "And if anyone has to apologize it should be you, mudbloods." From the gasp by Wood, Buffy and Willow knew it was a diragtory term. "And besides what are you going to do? Cry to Dumbledore?"

"I wouldn't have said that." Willow told him, almost feeling sorry for him.

"Why, you going to cry?" he asked, and suddenly he found himself on his back, with Buffy's foot on his throat.

"No, because I am going to hurt you." Buffy said. Malfoy reached for his wand and tried to hex her, but it didn't do anything! "Opps! Looks like you'll have to learn new tricks!" Buffy told him as she kicked his wand out of his hand. "Now apologize." She let up, so he could talk a little better.

"Sorry.." he stuttered. Buffy let him up and he glared at them. "Once my father hears about this, you will be out of this school." Buffy started to laugh.

"What house are you in?"

"Slytherin."

"Wood?"

"Yes?"

"What is the normal punishment when a student insults a teacher?"

"Points are deducted."

"How many?"

"Depends on the teacher."

"How many would you deduct?"

"100."

"Alright, 100 points from Slytherin." Buffy said.

"How? You can't possibly be a teacher!" Draco stuttered.

"Let's began again, shall we?" Buffy said, offering her hand. "Hi! I'm Buffy Summers, your new Muggle Defense Teacher and this is Willow Rosenberg, your new DADA assistant teacher." They laughed, as Draco turned pale. "Oh! He even looks pale like Spike now!"

"It is too cute!" Willow agreed. "Can we keep him in the teacher's lounge? Or better yet, can we send him back to Sunnydale or wherever Spike is?" Buffy and Willow laughed, even Oliver joined in, although he had no idea who Spike was, he laughed even harder when Draco stomped off.

"That was bloody brilliant!" Oliver exclaimed.

"What are you doing out so early?" Buffy asked.

"Quidditch." He said simply, like that would explain everything. At their blank stares he continued. "It is a wizarding game and I am the captain, we have practice, would you like to come watch?" Buffy and Willow looked at each other and then at Oliver nodding.

Quidditch Field

They walked to a field that reminded Buffy of a football and there were three poles on each end of the field. Oliver was explaining the game and Buffy and Willow were listening to him talk, both loving his accent.

"Wood!" exclaimed a tall boy, with red hair, "Fred and Alicia can't be found and Snape said if we don't practicing soon, he is going to give the field to Slytherian team." Oliver looked around, confused, he was trying to figure out what to do when his eyes settled on Buffy and Willow.

"No!" Willow exclaimed, "I already heard about your first game and there is no way in hell that I am going to get on that field."

"Please?"

"NO!"

"You don't have to do anything, just sit there on the broom, so that Snape doesn't give the field away.. please???" He gave Willow his best puppy dog look.

"Fine," she relented, "But if I die, my ghost will come back and haunt you!" Oliver grinned and turned to Buffy.

"No!" She told him, "Come on! I'm a teacher, I don't want to look like an ass in front of my students, besides our brooms are in our rooms."

"No problem," Willow claimed, "Accio." And Buffy and Willow's brooms came to them. Oliver looked at her sharply. She hadn't used a wand!

"I hate you Wills, I hope you know this." Buffy told her and then everyone took the field.

"We need a beater and a chaser." Oliver told them.

"Which is more dangerous?"

"Beater."

"All right I'll take that and Wills' will take the chaser." They reached the rest of the team and Oliver set out to introduce them.

"Our other beater is Fred." Oliver told Buffy, "George this is Buffy, she's going to be the chaser today."

"Hi! I'm George. Would you like to go out sometime?" Buffy started to laugh and shook her head no.

"I already have enough men problems thanks!" she told them.

"This is Katie and Angelina, and this is Willow. She has never played before, but we need to practice." Oliver told them. "Alright, our seeker is Harry Potter," Harry waited for them to oh and aww over him, but they looked at him and waited for Oliver to continue. "I'm the keeper and captain and that is pretty much it, since this is practice. Let's go." Everyone took off into the air. Buffy followed George's example and Willow followed Kati and Angelina. The team was impressed with the two new girls, they seemed to fit right in.

"Your really good, for someone your size." Harry told Buffy as he flew down next to her.

"Thanks. So why did everyone stop and stare at us, when Oliver introduced you?"

"Because of this." Harry showed Buffy his scar, Buffy stared at it and then shrugged.

"Cool scar." Harry wasn't sure what to do, he had never met anyone that hadn't known about it. "When did you get it?"

"When I was little, a wizard gave it to me." Before he could say anymore, they were interrupted, by a bludger hitting Harry's broom and causing him to fall.

"Harry!" everyone screamed as one. Buffy dived and got under him, she caught him and they both fell to the ground with Buffy on bottom. There was a sickening pop, but Buffy didn't utter a sound.

"Buffy!" Willow screamed. The quidditch team rushed down and saw Harry get off of Buffy.

"Why did you do that?" he asked, "I would have been fine."

"Sure, next time you go plummenting out of the sky, remind me not to save you!" Buffy told him and then looked at Willow. "It's just dislocated, if you wanna go get Giles, he can put it back in place." But as she finished saying this, Giles and Jenny came running out.

"Buffy!" Giles exclaimed, "Are you okay?"

"Just peachy keen, you need to pop it back in."

"That's silly, just have Madame Pompfrey, fix it for you."

"Is she going to use magic?"

"Ya."

"Then it won't work." Buffy told Harry, "Don't worry about it, I have had worse." Giles popped Buffy's shoulder back into place, "Alright, let's get on with practice." She told them and took in the looks of disbelief. "What? I've had worse. Ask him." She told them, pointing to Giles.

"Yes, well she is right." Giles told them as him and Jenny took seats, because they knew his slayer would win the argument. After three more minuets of disagreements they finally continued on with practice, which went smoothly, except when Buffy grabbed the bludger out of thin air, without getting hurt. Oliver decided that practice was over and everyone went to change and then to go to breakfast, they asked Willow and Buffy to join them, they accepted.
