Author Note:
Let's get you up to speed; Spike is no longer insane and currently on a plane returning from a trip to England with Giles. And for that matter he is still among us; it turns out he was not crushed in the rubble of Sunnydale High (Woo hoo!) Faith is no more. (I will say no more on this subject because honestly I just wanted to kill her off; she was an annoying and boring character with no potential. Same goes for the potential slayers) Angel moved to London to pursue a singing career. Willow and her potential slayer girlfriend broke up before she became no more. Willow is bisexual, not lesbian. And Buffy and Spike are not romantically involved.or are they?
Chapter 1: (In the Magic Shop)
The door burst open and Willow, Xander, and Buffy's heads turned to the door, where Andrew was standing wearing fluffy bunny ears with a large chocolate egg tucked under his left arm.
"Happy Easter!" Andrew exclaimed gleefully
Everyone muttered a "hi Andrew."
"Xander have you seen Dawn?" Buffy asked.
"I think she just slept in. She seemed pretty beat last night at the ice cream shop."
The Magic Shop door opened and Giles walked in, carrying several large suitcases.
"Hey Giles, welcome back." Buffy said, as she helped him with the suitcases. "Where's Spike?"
"Oh he's coming, he stopped by Charlie's for some doughnuts." Giles said.
"Why does he even bother eating, he doesn't have to, it's wasteful." Willow protested.
"It's the sugar, can't get enough of it. Wouldn't you be low energy if you were dead?" Giles said.
"I suppose." Willow said.
The bells jingled on the door and everyone turned around, the door opened, and in walked Draco Malfoy.
"Lo' all." Draco said cheerfully.
* Akward silence *
"Umm.we're closed on Easter." Buffy said, puzzled because there was a huge "CLOSED" sign hanging right next to him.
Before he could answer, Spike walked in and said, "Oh, he's with me. This is Draco Malfoy. Draco this is Buffy, Xander, Willow, Dawn, Giles you already know and." He motioned towards Andrew. "Christ Andrew why don't you just go back to the mother ship?"
"I resent that." Andrew muttered. "Everyone knows aliens have individual space pods anyway.
"Right. anyway...I picked Malfoy here up in a little pub in London and-" Spike said.
"Told you." Xander said triumphantly to Willow.
"Told her what?" Spike asked suspiciously.
"That you're gay."
"What? I'm not! I didn't pick him up for sex, he's a wizard, he just graduated Pigwarts and-"
"Hogwarts." Draco corrected.
"Right, anyway I though since he was a wizard he could help Willow with that spell she was doing to prevent the mouth of hell thing from opening again. He wanted to visit the states anyway so I said he could stay with us if he helped. It wont be for long he has to go back to Pigwarts-" Spike explained.
"HOGWARTS!" Draco almost shouted.
"Down sparky! Anyway he has to go back to Hogwarts in September." Said Spike.
"Where's he gonna stay? Your crazy if you think I'm going to let TWO Billy Idol wanna-be's in my house." Xander cried.
"HEY! My hair is naturally blond!" Draco protested.
"Sure it is." Xander said sardonically.
"Alright!" Giles exclaimed, not wanting this conversation to go on any further. "It's just a few months Xander you're going to have to put up with it. Spike's right, we need a more experienced wizard to help Willow with the spell."
Xander glared at Draco, and as he was settling back down on the couch.
Willow was anxious to talk to a pure blood wizard and turned to Draco and asked "So what's Hogwarts?"
"You don't know what Hogwarts is? I thought you would, you know you being a witch and all." Draco said, surprised. Seeing the blank look on her face he said, "Ok I didn't want it to come down to this but you know Harry Potter? He goes there. It's a school for wizards."
".Who?"
"You don't know who Harry Potter is? O good, I like you already." Draco said, very pleased. The puzzled looks on their faces returned and he decided to change the subject. "So Giles, got any booze round' here?"
Everyone frowned in response, knowing he could only be 19 or 20 at most if he just graduated from high school.
"Bugger. Oh well, thought I'd give it a try."
The door opened and Dawn walked in, carrying two large brown paper bags. "Happy Easter! I brought scones and coffee! But there weren't any blueberry left so I-"
"Er." Draco said uncomforatably.
".Hello." Dawn said dreamily to Draco.
She seemed to be in some sort of a trance.
Xander seemed to catch on and quickly said "Dawn, can you come here please?"
When she walked over he grabbed her and whispered. "No."
"What do you mean, no?"
"I mean no. No, no, no, no! And if I ever catch you making eyes at Draco again-"
"Excuse me!" Draco yelled over to Xander. "I think I should be included in the conversation if it's about me! Let's not turn into gossiping teenage girls now!"
Xander pointed a threatening finger and Dawn and plopped down on the couch.
"Yeah..The suns down, I'm going to go patrolling, you coming Spike?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah. I think I'll go, fight some badies, let out my inner rage. You can come if you like Draco." Said Spike.
"No, don't bring him, he'll get in the way and he might get hurt."
"Ouch!" Draco whined and made puppy dog eyes. "I can defend myself I've got this" He pulled out his wand.
"You're going to fend them off with a rounded stick? That wont even get through the skin. Sorry, but you'll have to wait a few more years to play with the big kids"
"Mee-ow, Bitchy McBitch strikes again! Anyway it's a wand...as in magic wand? Often used to do spells?"
"Fine, but if you die it's not my fault." Buffy replied irritably.
"Whatever let's you sleep at night, sweetheart." Said Draco with a huge grin on his face.
"Are you sure you're not related, Spike?"
"Defiantly, everyone in his family are blond wizards and 1. I'm not a wizard and 2.My hair's dyed." Said Spike.
"There's a shocker." Xander muttered under his breath.
"I heard that." Spike scowled at Xander. "Well, we're off, have fun kiddies. Oh, and don't let the playboy bunny over there have any more sugar."
* * * * *
After a long night of Buffy and Spike slaying vampires and Draco making them boogie to an Enrique Iglasias song, they all returned to Spike's former hide out, which had now become the meeting place for the kung fu movie club and Saturday day night poker game.
"Where did Spike go?" asked Draco, returning from the fridge with a bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand.
"Gone to do some errands. In the mood for a kung fu movie?" said Buffy.
"Always." Draco replied with a grin on his face.
Buffy began to search through the many movie titles; "Red Dragon" 5, 6, 7, and 8, "Kung Fu Master," and so on. Finally she selected "Red Dragon 7."
"So what's up with you and spike?" Draco asked.
"Nothing, why?"
"I don't know you just seem really uncomfortable around him.
"It's a little personal for just meeting someone. I'd have to sleep with you first."
"That can be arranged."
Laughing she said "What I meant to say was I don't know you well enough to tell you that. I haven't even told my friends everything about my relationship with Spike.
"That's ok, we can play bartender and depressed drunken customer, I'll tell you something really personal about me then you can tell me what's going on between you and Spike."
"Sure why not, I've never told anyone before and I guess it will be easier talking to someone who's leaving in 4 months."
"That's the spirit. Okay, you first."
"Well, okay here it goes. Spike and I used to be mortal enemies. He killed hundreds of people and a lot of horrible things. He still can't forgive himself for that. He tried to kill my friends and me but he didn't succeed and most of his vampire friends were dusted. He was pretty much all alone except for Dru. We were enemies but for some reason neither of us could kill each other. He was one of the few vampires I couldn't kill. Eventually we just kind of stopped going after each other. Dru abandoned him and he started fighting on our side. Somewhere along the way, he fell in love with me. When he told me, I.. I was so shocked; I told him I would never love him. He went crazy over it.. He did everything for me, to prove that he loved me. He stopped killing and helped us track down a lot of bad people. I began to respect him, to like him, but I never showed it. Then one night we were fighting, he told me he had enough and he wouldn't be treated like this anymore, and I kissed him. It was rough, when we were together, never affectionate. We were on and off, but I think there was a time where I loved him. I don't think I even know anymore. I broke up with him really quick and it hurt him a lot. He did some things to me.well we had a rough few months. But over time we just grew really close again. When we fought the first he risked his life to save us all. I told him I loved him. And then.." She paused, thinking. "Well then it didn't work out after that." She said hastily.
Draco looked at her for a long time, no expression on his face. Then he said "Wow, no wonder it's so strange between you two."
There was just silence for a few minutes, neither one of them looked at each other. But then Draco looked up and said, in a happier tone, "So what do you want to know?"
"Doesn't matter."
"Okay.let's see.when I was 17 I had to kiss my arch nemesis because he was dying and I had to do CPR. It was horrible."
Buffy glared at him.
"You sure you want to know?"
"Absolutely."
"Okay.. a few years ago I met Ginny Weasely. She and I were assigned to do this project together in Potions. We hated each other. I was really mean when I was younger, and I especially liked to pick on her brother and their family. The first few days were hell; screaming insults at each other and getting almost NO work done. Finally we made a pact that we said we would be civil to each other. We even put it in writing. So we managed to get through that project without biting each other's heads off. Overtime we did a few more school things together, and by the end of our 6th project together, we were friends. We began seeing each other more and more and we decided to go to the Yule Ball together at the end of 5th year. She knew I couldn't dance but she said yes anyway. She got the band to play this song I thought was really funny called "Tombé la chemisier." It means take off your shirt in French." Draco was smiling. "She dragged me on the dance floor and we were dancing like looneys. I caught her hand and dipped her, and.I kissed her... and she kissed me back." Now Draco was looking down at his hands. "She was the only person I ever loved. My parents didn't love me, I know that because they told me they didn't, and I never had real friends. She meant more to me than any other person in the whole world."
He trailed off, remembering how wonderful everything was at that moment with Ginny. How when she looked at him it was like she was looking through him into his soul, and how when she kissed him everything around him disappeared.
Buffy looked at him, she knew he was remembering. He had a misty look in his eyes. She looked at his hands; he was running them over a sliver ring on his finger. The ring had a rope like pattern with a tiny green stone in the center.
He remembered where he was and came back to earth. He looked over at Buffy and followed her eyes to his ring. "She gave this to me a week later" he said, answering her questions. "The stone is from the hair clips she was wearing in her hair that night. I told her I loved the green stones in them, they looked like my birthstone." He smiled down at the ring and paused for a moment. "Anyway, at the end of 7th year, a couple weeks after graduation, I took her to London with me. We were in Flourish and Blotts and it was really crowded. We met a friend of hers named Cho Chang. She was in my house at Hogwarts. She told me that she and Cho were going to go look at this thing in a shop, I don't remember what it was. I said ok and I'd meet her at Olivander's later and she left. It turns out Cho was a spy for Voldemort, a dark wizard that my father was associated with. Ginny was friends with Harry Potter, a boy at our school. Harry Potter was the only one who could defeat him so he wanted revenge. Cho told Voldemort that Ginny probably knew how to get to Potter. So Pansy brought her to Voldemort that day. He tortured her, but she wouldn't talk so he killed her. I never saw her again after she left that shop.."
"Draco, I-"
But Buffy didn't get a chance to finish because Spike walked in at that moment.
"I'm back. Did you kids have a good kung fu movie fest? Sorry I missed it."
Buffy looked down, then up at Draco. They didn't say anything, just stared at each other. Draco's eyes begged her not to say anything. She stood up and said "Yeah me too, you missed a hell of a fight," and she tried to smile.
