A/N: Well here is the chapter that you have all been waiting for. Buffy Meet's Bill. I know that it is only brief but it lay's out the entrance for him to Hogwarts that year! I have already written a heap more, but I am constantly changing it so I won't put it all up straight away.
TEACHING IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE:
Harry seemed to enjoy sharing his shopping with her, showing her what he was doing and where he was going, and the other two didn't seem to mind. Particularly when they found out that she was willing to carry some of their purchaces.
Buffy could also see that Hermione was glad that there was another girl with them. Buffy soon found out why.
"Let's get our new robes next!" Ron decided as they headed for the robe store. Hermione glanced at Buffy nervously.
"You guys go ahead, we'll catch up." Buffy said easily and they scooted off ahead into the store.
"What's up?"
"Umm, I actually need to go somewhere else to get my robes now." Hermione blushed and Buffy was able to catch her meaning. Aparantly there was a shop that sold robes for witches, not the store that sold the clothes for the boys.
"You want company?" Buffy offered.
"Sure." The girl said, relieved.
Buffy willingly went with Hermione to another store where they bought female essentials. Buffy got some things also. Dumbledore had explained that they get their teachers robes sent to the school, but if Buffy wanted, then she could just wear her clothes that she had brought with her. She fully intended to do just that. Still, there were things that a girl needed that guys wouldn't think about.
"Where have you been?" Ron asked them when they re-joined the boys.
"Hermione offered to come with me to get some supplies. We picked up her robes at another store near where I had to go." Buffy wasn't lying as they had picked up the essentials from the wizard's style pharmisists. It seemed that there were a few things that witches got that muggle women got also.
The boys accepted this and returned to meet the adults laughing about something that had happened at that clothes shop. The girls were oblivious but laughed at the boys jokes.
The day ended well after a bad start and after dinner they headed up stairs to the small lounge room that was provided for the guests. There was another red head waiting for them. Buffy stood and stared for a moment. The man was taller than her and had a few earings. He was handsome and there was something compelling in his eyes. He caught her eyes and she quickly looked away.
"Bill!" Ginny exclaimed and ran forward giving the man a hug.
"Hello Ginny, my goodness your tall."
"Don't be silly, I haven't grown any taller than when you saw us at the beginning of the holidays." They laughed.
"Buffy, this is my second eldest son, Bill." Mr. Weasley introduced. "Bill, this is Buffy Summers. She is teaching a new class this year at Hogwarts.
"Nice to meet you Buffy." He shook her hand.
"You too." He held her hand a moment more than nessasary then let go. No one but Mrs. Weasley noticed and there was a strange sparkle in her eyes.
That evening Buffy learnt a lot about Bill and his job in Egypt. She was quite interested in breaking curses of that magnatude, considering that she had to do similar things back at the hell mouth.
It got late and Buffy decided that the kids had to go to sleep. She glanced at Molly and saw that she had the same idea as Buffy. "Okay. Time for bed!" She said standing. Buffy watched as all the kids obeyed Ron's mum instantly. They said goodnight to them and disappeared to their rooms.
Buffy had an idea for Harry but first needed an excuse to see him. She smacked her forehead. "Rat's, Harry has my key. I'll just run and get it. Back in a moment." Buffy excused herself from the group and wandered down the hall. She knocked on Harry's door. "Harry? It's Buffy." She called.
"Coming." He replied and a few moments later the door opened.
"Hey, I think that you might have my key. I left it with Sirius and he brought it back here."
"Okay, I'll check." They both wandered to the desk. It was sitting on the corner.
"Thanks Harry. There's something else that I wanted to say. I have some of Madame Pomfrey's dreamless sleeping pills. Would you like to take one?"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Maybe you should sleep a bit before school." She grinned slightly.
"Sure." He agreed and Buffy hurried off to get it. When she returned she handed the pill to Harry and made sure that he took it.
"Good. Now when we get back to school I want you to go and see Madame Pomfrey about your nightmares."
"Yes Buffy." He said solomly.
"Also, there wont be a lot of chances to talk in the next day or so, but I'd like you to know that if you ever need to talk then I am always here, okay?" He nodded mutely. "Good. Well sleep well." She left the room as Sirius was coming in, in his dog form.
"Sirius, I gave him a dreamless sleep pill. You shouldn't need to worry tonight." She told the dog quietly then left.
"Sorry about that." She told the remaining Weasleys.
"Not a problem Buffy. Arthur and I were heading off to bed now anyway." Molly said standing.
"Goodnight. I'll see you both in the morning." She said politely then sank into a large green chair. It was quite comfortable.
"So Bill, will you be coming to Hogwarts with us?" She asked him.
"Nope, not this time. But I plan to visit, often if I can, if you would like me to?" He asked her, a hidden question in his eyes.
"Yes, that would be very nice." She murmured. She actually blushed.
He only smiled knowingly and changed the subject. They talked on for another hour, then departed and went to bed.
The next morning was hectic, and every one seemed to be rushing around her. She sat in the lounge room calm as anything and sipped at her morning coffee. She had placed her things into her bag and roughly made the bed, before locking the door and sitting where she was now.
It appeared that she was emitting a cloud of calm and one by one the kids came and sat with her. All six of them. They didn't expect anything, they just were attracted to the lack of worry. Buffy looked around at them.
"Harry are you packed?"
"Not completely."
"Then go do it. Place things in your trunk, drag it to the outside of your door and come back." He moved to do so immediately.
"Ron have you packed?"
"Yes."
"Place you trunk outside of your room." Buffy went through each of them one by one, and as she was sending the twins off, the others were starting to return. When they all got back to the lounge room, Buffy was just finishing off her coffee. She looked around at the expectant faces.
"That didn't take so long now, did it?" They all shook their heads. "Good, now I believe that you should be having your breakfast down stairs?" She said pointedly and they all filed out of the room and down the stairs. Just like that.
"However did you manage that dear?" Molly asked her with awe.
"Yes, it was inspired." Arthur agreed.
"Learnt how to do that trying to get my sister ready for school and other things. I just sat wand waited and eventually she'd sit with me and then I'd go and help her." She grinned at the four adults. "I'm sure that you're hungry." On cue, Bills tummy growled. "Go and eat. I'll take the trunks down."
"They're heavy Buffy." Bill pointed out.
"Maybe, but I don't eat breakfast and if you all want to get to the station on time then you'll have to let me."
"Okay," Molly agreed and led them down stairs. Buffy followed them.
"Tom, are the cars to collect the Weasleys here yet? She asked politely.
"Sure are miss. Just waiting out the front they are."
"Great." Buffy went upstairs and started bringing down the luggage. It really wasn't that heavy. The drivers of the cars opened the boots for her. It was a surprise that there were only two cars for ten people, but when Buffy saw that the boot was four times the size of a muggle car boot, she stopped worrying.
Buffy finished loading the car and then joined the others where they were eating their breakfast. They were finishing. She waited patiently and sipped on another coffee that had been pressed into her hands.
"Ready to go everyone?" Molly asked as she collected keys. Buffy handed her key over as she nodded with the rest. "Great. Let's go then."
"What about our luggage?" Fred asked.
"It's all in the cars."
"Oh."
They got to the station and walked with the adults as the kids ran ahead. She was still concerned that she didn't quite fit into the classification on adult or child, so she wandered between the two.
"What platform does the train leave from?" She asked.
"Nine and three quarters." Was the answer. Buffy choaked.
"Wow, and I thought the rest of England was strange." She muttered.
They go to the space between platforms nine and ten. Buffy looked up in time to see the twins to dissapear into a wall. Buffy's sanity wavered.
"Are you alright?" Bill asked concerned.
"They just walked through a wall." She said faintly, her voice wavering.
"Yup, that's the platform entrance."
"Oh, sure."
"It is!" He insisted and took her hand. They ran at the wall, well Buffy was almost dragged and all of a sudden they were on a hidden train station.
"Wow!" Buffy breathed, truly amazed.
They all said good bye to Buffy, who needed to be on the train first. Bill caught her eye and she smiled at him. He smiled back. "It was a pleasure to meet you Buffy." He said kindly his eye's still sparkling.
"You too Bill, I'll look for you at Hogwarts." Then she boarded the train. She went up to the engine and introduced herself to the wizard up there and to the witch that delivered the lollies. They were pleased that there was a teacher on the train with them. Buffy decided that she would find a seat and start patrolling the halls after the train left London. There was an empty room near the back and she threw herself into a seat.
There were a few kids that came in and sat, but they had no problems talking in front of someone older than them. Buffy overheard bits and pieces of a conversation about their holidays and the guy's that had crushes on them.
Buffy soon was on her train patrol. She encountered no problems other than a very kind boy, who introduced himself as Neville Longbottom. He had lost his toad, and was worried about the animal. She helped him search for it.
It was in the afternoon that she came across some trouble. There were a few of the older students teasing the newer ones. The older students were wearing a green color, but the new ones didn't have a color on at all.
"Was there something that you were wanting?" She asked coolly, of the older students. They quickly departed. The next carriage along, Buffy came across some students the same age as Harry.
"Go away Malfoy." A raised voice yelled from the inside of a room.
"Shut-up Potter. I couldn't care less what you think, I'd just like to know how little Ronikins is going with his Mudblood girlfriend." The boy said smugly. She'd heard enough. Striding up she placed a firm hand on the boys shoulder.
"Mr. Malfoy, I believe that you have said quite enough for the moment." She told him crisply.
"Who do you think you are?"
"This is Professor Summers." Ginny announced from the cabin/room. "She's teaching at Hogwarts this year."
"Thank you Ginny." She looked at Malfoy. "I wouldn't think that you would talk to other teachers that way, would you?"
"No Professor."
"Good. Now run along and I don't want to hear another thing about it." The boys scattered. "Are you okay?"
"Yes thanks Buffy." Harry said cheerfully. Buffy however was studying Hermione.
"Are you okay?" She asked the girl. She nodded.
"He called her Moodblood. It's a really big insult among wizards." Ginny told Buffy.
"Oh. What does it mean?"
"Someone with muggle parents."
"Well I guess that I'm Mudblood too then." She informed Hermione. "Don't worry about it. Have you ever heard the saying that sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me?"
The girl shook her head but understood what she was being told. She seemed to cheer up. There were no further incidents on the train.
