Chapter 11: First Day of Class

Buffy and Duncan sat at the front of the class with their back turned, meditating as the students piled into the class, while Liam and Ainnle hid behind the desk. Their first class was Slytherins and Gryiffidors, they were expecting the worse.

As the students filed in for the class, they all gasped at the various weapons that were strewn throughout the room. There were swords, maces, axes, and other weapons that they could not name, every single student looked shocked. They were going to learn how to use those! Poor Neville. Malfoy picked up a sword and made a swinging motion towards Buffy and Duncan.

"Spike Junior, put down the sword, before Duncan is forced to take it from you." Buffy said, without turning back to the class, everyone gasped. Malfoy was so shocked; he dropped the sword, on his foot!

"Son of a Bitch!" he exclaimed, hopping on one foot.

"Ten points from Slytherin." Duncan declared and every single person was stunned and then the Gryffindors started to clap. Malfoy turned to glare at them and his gaze caught Hermione's who was smirking.

"Mudblood," he muttered under his breath.

"Leave." Buffy said and everyone turned to look at her, there was no way that she could have heard him, right? "Now, mini-Spike, before we have a repeat of yesterday." Malfoy started to walk to the door, "And I want a ten page report on why we do not call people mudblood and you will apologize to every single non-wizarding family person in here." Buffy declared and every Gryffindor fell in love with her, while Malfoy simply hated her, more than Potter. "You may go." She said and smirked when he slunk out of the room.

"That was bloody brilliant." Said a young-red headed boy. "Can you do it again? And in front of the rest of my family?"

"Let me guess," Buffy said, eyeing the boy, "You must be a Weasley."

"How did you?" he asked, turning as red as his hair, while Buffy and Duncan chuckled.

"I met your brother yesterday, I filled in for one of them." she said, winking at Harry.

"You?" he asked, shocked he had expected a burly woman from the way that the whole team had been singing her praise, "But your so tiny and stuff." He muttered and turned even redder when Buffy quirked an eye at him.

"That's what I said, when she knocked me on my ass." Angelus said, from the back of the room.

"Leave." Buffy commanded.

"Just wanted to give you this." Angelus told her, handing her a book of erotic love poems, with one of the pages marked. He kissed her hand and left the room. Every girl sighed and looked longingly after him.

"So," Buffy said, walking back to the front and Duncan, "First off I am Buffy Summers, Buffy is fine, I will not answer to Professor Summers." She said and then turned to Duncan.

"I am Duncan McCleod and I am only an assistant, so Duncan is just fine." He told the class and Buffy took control again.

"First you will need to wear shorts and a t-shirt and you will not have any homework, so long as you don't piss either one of us off." The students looked thrilled at the prospect. "You do not need to bring your wands, as this class you will be learning about hand-to-hand combat and not a magical type." Buffy said and then continued, "So, I thought we would start with a question and answer period, but you have to answer mine and Duncan's question's too." At their nods she continued, "Whose first?" One of the girls lifted her hand.

"Yes? Ms.?"

"Lavender Brown and where can I find one of those?" she asked, indicating to the door Angelus had walked out of.

"Trust me, you don't want one of those." Buffy said, hitting Duncan who had started to laugh. "Can anyone tell me something about Hogwart's?" She pointed to one of the boys.

"Seamus Finnigan." He said, "Hogwart's is broken up into four house, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw named after each founder." He told them and Buffy nodded, "How old are you?" Allot of the guys nodded their head to the question; they had been wondering the same thing.

"I am allot older than I look," Duncan started, "So, I'm just not going to tell you my age."

"Sixteen." She said and smirked as everyone did a double take.

"Bloody Hell!" Ron exclaimed and was hit by Hermione, "You could be a second year here with the rest of us."

"Why did Dumbledore send for you?" Hermione asked she knew that Dumbledore would have had a very good reason.

"I am the Slayer." She told them and watched as looks of disbelief crossed their faces.

"But the slayer is just a myth," one of the girls cried from the back and the rest of the class nodded, while Duncan and Buffy started to laugh.

"Alright, someone tell me what you know about the slayer." Buffy requested.

"Well, she is stronger than a normal human."

"She can hear really well."

"Immune to our type of magic."

"Is consider a magical creature herself."

"One girl in all the world."

"Very good and what does she fight?" asked Buffy.

"Vampires."

"Demons."

"Malfoys." Someone else muttered and everyone chuckled.

"That would be me." She said.

'Angelus?' she thought.

'Yes, lover' was his retort.

'Come to my classroom.' She told him and she could feel him coming closer. Ainnle and Liam started growling at once, still pissed at him for putting them to sleep with a spell the other night.

"Yes, lover?" he asked, when he got there and all the girls started to drool a little bit.

"Go into gameface." She told him and received many confused looks, but Angelus shrugged and reverted to his demonic face, receiving many gasps from the group and everyone shrunk back; he smirked. "Thank you."

"But I thought you killed vampires." Someone asked.

"Yes, well he is on a short leash." She told them and Angelus growled at her, causing Ainnle and Liam to step forward and growl right back, which caused the rest of the class to gasp even more.

'I am not on a leash.' He told her.

"Yes, you are and you like it." She told him out loud and got even more confused looks. "I can read his mind."

"Bloody hell! Your telepathic too?" exclaimed a young boy in the back of the group.

"No, just with him and Professor Pierson." She said and smiled with a collective sigh of happiness went through the group. "Thank you, Angelus." She said, and he smiled and turned to leave, when one of the girls suddenly shouted.

"The Scourge of Europe?"

"That would be me." He said, smiling at their looks of disbelief.

"Slay him!" someone cried.

"Believe me if he wasn't teaching here, I would." Buffy told them.

"Now lover, be honest," Angelus said, "You love me and wouldn't hurt me."

"No, I loved Angel," she told him and noticed the amount of looks they were getting, "and get out." She said and he turned and left, but not before he had the last thought.

'But that is where you are wrong, we are the same person.' Angelus thought and then strolled out of the room. Ainnle and Liam quieted down, but they stayed on guard at Buffy's feet.

"Uhm. Why do you have dogs?"

"Protection," she said simply, "This is Ainnle and this one is Liam." She said pointing each one out to the group. "Better get used to them, because they will be here all year." Before anymore questions could be asked the bell rang, signaling the end of the day, everyone vacated the room, except for Neville.

"Yes?" Duncan asked, eyeing the boy.

"Neville Longbottom," he said, "I was wondering if you would teach me on the side how to defend myself. I know that is what the class is for, but I am really a klutz and I would like to get a head start." Buffy and Duncan exchanged glances and decided to help him.

"Sure," Buffy said, "Meet us back here after dinner." Neville looked so happy and he practically skipped to his next class, Potions, which left Duncan and Buffy to attend to the next class, which basically went the same way.
