A/N: Hey ppls. Hope that you enjoy this next chapter.
Teaching is a whole different language.
Buffy and Giles worked well with all the students for the next two weeks. Buffy settled into her routine and she had been to see Dumbledore to get a port key into London. The week before she had started going into the city twice a week to deal with the vampires.
Buffy was about to head to dinner when an owl fluttered into her room. She petted it and untied the letter from the birds leg. It fluttered off again. She un-tied the bulky package. Three letters fell out. She recognized the handwriting immediately. One of the letters was from Willow, one from dawn and the other was in the formal handwriting of her father. She ripped open the one from her father first.
Buffy,
I have received the letter that you wrote me to explain your new situation. I fully understand that you are now living in England and that you have a well paying job as a teacher. However, I don't think that I can lay all my confidence in your ability to take care of your sister.
You have done a satisfactory job so far with her, but the reason that I took Dawn back to L.A. was that I.to say frankly, didn't want her to turn out like you. You were enough of a handful when you were younger and I hope that I can still keep Dawn away from that crowd.
I hope that you understand what I am saying.
Your Father.
Buffy reread the letter, letting it sink in. She sat in her desk chair, to stunned to read the next letter. She thought for the longest time about what she had ever done to her father to get that kind of letter. She really had absolutely no idea.
She formed a plan. She decided that she would head straight to the teachers staff room, which was where Dumbledore went after dinner to see any teachers that needed to see him. It was a Friday and she decided that she would get a port key from the Professor and go straight to see her father that evening.
She hurried through the corridors to the staff room. The time had gotten on and it was nearly the end of dinner already. She waited in the staff room, pacing up and down in front of the fire wringing her hands. Sirius came into the room in the from of Snuffles and went to her for a pet. She pushed him away.
"Not now okay?" She pleaded and continued pacing. The dog sat and watched then got tired and moved away. Dumbledore entered.
"Buffy? What is the matter my dear? You weren't at dinner." He said coming over to her.
"I received a letter from my father concerning my sister. I must go and see them. I know that you were going to prepare me a port key to their house. I was hoping that it would be ready."
"Yes of course." He took out his wand and summoned a cup from his office. It settled in the wizard's arms. He handed it to her.
"When do you think that you will be back?"
"Tonight or tomorrow morning. It all depends on." She trailed off, not liking what she was thinking. "This is okay with you that I go?"
"Yes. Good luck Buffy. Remember that there is always a place for your sister at this school."
"Thankyou Albus. Will this get me back as well?" She asked of the port key.
"Yes it will."
"Good. See you soon." She said and winked out of the school.
