Here's the next chapter. I just finished it and hope you enjoy it. I just want to thank a few people.

Someone asked me if I would be doing another story after this one and the answer is probably yes but it depends on how well this one goes.

JAMMINJELLYBEAN, BOB THE BIRD, & HALIA: Thank you for your reviews.

DOC: I hope you like what I did to Malfoy. The git is definitely going to get what's coming to him.

KAY: Since you made the suggestion of putting a scene of having them fight it got me thinking and there might be one but not any time soon.

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

After Buffy had dealt with Draco she had him take notes to Giles and Oliver. She had gone on patrol and stopped at Hagrid's afterwards. She wanted to see how the rest of his classes had gone and to tell him about Malfoy's punishment. She approached the door and heard him sobbing. Knocking on his door Buffy heard him try and get it together.

"C'min."

Hagrid's voice snarled. Buffy opened the door and was instantly overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol. She saw Hagrid sitting at his table with a huge pewter in front of him. He didn't even look up when she came in.

"Spect it's a record." Hagrid said when he finally looked up and saw her. "Don' reckon they've ever had a teacher who lasted on'y a day before."

"You haven't been fired, Hagrid! Dumbledore won't allow it."

"It's only a matter o' time, I'n't it, after the letters the school gov'nors have received. They reckon I started too big. Shoulda left hippogriffs fer later…done flobberworms or summat….Jus' thought it'd make a good firs' lesson….S all my fault…"

"Don't worry Hagrid. I saw everything and the little git insulted Buckbeak. I heard it, and I know Harry, Hermione, and Ron heard it. We'll all back you up." Buffy reached for his pewter. "I think you've had enough to drink."

"Maybe your right."

Buffy takes the pewter and heads toward the door with it. Hagrid follows her. She pours out the contents of the pewter while he dips his head in to the trough outside his door. Buffy smiled as he shook his hair free of excess water like Fang would.

"Let's go back in and I'll tell you how I reformed Malfoy before I meet Oliver."

Hagrid nodded and they both headed back into the hut. Hagrid took the seat he was sitting in before and Buffy took one beside him.

"Now tell meh Buffy, What did yeh do to Malfoy?"

"Once we left the class I took him toward the kitchen and made him mop the kitchen floor without magic and with a broken arm. His face was priceless when I told him he was going to do what he considers servant chores. I finally relented and took to see Madam Pomfrey, but after I made him ask politely with a please and thank you."

Hagrid was laughing at the thought of Malfoy scrubbing floors.

"And did you notice that the paddock was totally clean of any hippogriff droppings? I had Malfoy pick every one of them up with a shovel. His face twisted in disgust each time. To top it off I made him clean up in the lake. Scared him half to death when I told him the sea monster was behind him."

"Buffy, you are too much."

"Thanks Hagrid. I try. I've got to get going. Just keep your chin up. You're a good teacher who's just unfortunate to have Malfoy as a student. See ya Fangs. See ya Hagrid."

"Bye Buffy."

Buffy waved goodbye to them and was glad to see that Hagrid was much happier now. Looking up at the sky she would have just enough time to get a bath before her dinner with Oliver.

Oliver gave the giggling blonde child in the picture the password to the room. As soon as he had stepped in he could smell the sweet aroma of lavender. Looking around the room he knew that there was only one place she could be. Walking toward the bathroom Oliver could see the blonde head sticking out of the tub. Moving quietly beside her, he leaned in and gently kissed her lips. At first she didn't respond still too sleep induce to realize what was going on. Soon enough though, she began to respond. When they finally broke apart Buffy licked her lips seductively.

"I so love it when you wake me up like that."

"I know. That's why I do it. What have I told you about falling asleep in the tub?" He looked at her sternly. She looked at him slightly sheepish before giving him a kiss. "You won't distract me that easily. Come on. Let's get you out of there."

Oliver turned and grabbed the towel and held it so that he could wrap her up in it. Once she stepped out he took the liberty to dry her off himself. He started with her legs and slowly worked his way up. By the time he had gotten to her shoulders they were both thoroughly aroused. She was kissing Oliver neck while his hands roamed her body.

"You know *kiss* Dobby *kiss* *kiss* is going *kiss* to be here *kiss* with *kiss* the food *kiss* soon."

Buffy told him continuing to kiss his neck while taking off his school robe.

"Then he'll just have to wait because if we stop now I'll go insane."

They both continued as if nothing else mattered but them. In a matter of seconds Buffy had Oliver as naked as she was.

The following morning Dobby had brought Buffy a note from Dumbledore saying that he wanted to see her before breakfast. Giving Oliver a kiss she told him that she would see him at breakfast. She knew that Dumbledore wanted to see her about the Malfoy affair yesterday and that was what they talked about. Dumbledore laughed merrily at what Buffy had done. He saw Buffy as a granddaughter and knew that he couldn't be cross with her over something like that. They had talked for about half an hour before it was time for breakfast to begin. Buffy had just turned the corner from Dumbledore's office when she saw Oz looking a little lost.

"Oz? You look lost?"

"Hey Buffy. Probably cause I am lost. I kind of got lost making my way to the Great Hall."

"I'm heading that way. We'll go together." Buffy told him she began leading the way to the stairs. "Can I ask you something? You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

"Go on."

"What's it like being a werewolf?"

"It's hurt when you first start to change. Three nights out of the month I change into a werewolf. Once I'm fully change it's like I'm pushed aside and the wolf takes full control. I never fully remember what happens. Now there's a potion that will let me stay in control of the wolf when I change. What is it like being a witch and a slayer?"

"It's hard. I go out night after night fighting vampires, demons, and other evil creatures and hoping that it won't be my last. My family and friends try to see that I have as much of a normal life as possible, but they can only do so much. I was a witch first and then I became the slayer, but if I could give my slayer power up I wouldn't. For all the pain it can cause me when I show up too late to help someone, it feels great when I know that someone will live because of what I've done. Does that make sense?"

"Yeh." They were just outside the Great Hall. "Thanks for helping me Buffy."

"Thank you for listening. Let's eat. I'm starving."

Buffy and Oz entered a few seconds later and took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Buffy took a seat next to Oliver who gave her kiss, and Oz sat on the other side of the twins. Dumbledore raised his hand to quiet everyone.

"Let the feast begin."

The table filled with food and everyone began eating heartily. Everyone looked up when an owl came in hooting and carrying a package. They watched as it flew to the Gryffindor table and dropped the package off when it reached Buffy. She caught it with ease. Everyone went back to eating but kept glancing to see what Buffy had got. Buffy looked at Giles and some of the other teachers who shrugged their shoulders. They were as surprised as she was. She took the note off that was attached. The Gryffindor's around her noticed how she had paled considerably. With a shaky hand she lifted the lid to the package and gasped before abruptly getting up from the table and running quickly out the hall.

"BUFFY!" Several people called out.

Oliver was the first one up to chase after her. He was soon followed by Willow, Xander, and, Giles. They reached the hall doors to see Buffy run out the front doors. They soon heard the sound of her retching. Oliver went over and helped hold her up as her trembling arm looked like they were going to give way. Giles had picked up the box where Buffy had dropped it. He almost threw-up himself upon seeing what was in the package. He read the note.

Kendra's eyes were really easy to pop out. We have our eyes on you.

Finally Buffy had stopped retching. With Oliver's help they moved to the steps to sit down. He held her tightly.

"They're here. Angelus and Druscilla. They sent me a reminder of what they did to Kendra.

The note said that they were easy to pop out and that they have their eyes on me."

Buffy began to shake. Her grief for Kendra was beginning to consume her again. Tears began to fall again.

"Why don't you three go back inside and finish breakfast? I'd like to talk to Buffy alone."

Giles said as he sat down on the other side of Buffy.

"Xander will you take my first class so I can talk to Dumbledore?"

"No problem G-man."

Giles glared at him, but didn't say anything. He and Willow waited for Oliver. He was whispering something in Buffy's ear and she nodded her head. Buffy shifted from out of Oliver's embraced and went into Giles. The three left Buffy and Giles sitting outside.

"It's okay Buffy. You have to let it go. I know you've been blaming yourself for what happened to Kendra. It's not your fault Buffy."

"I should have been there Giles. I should have gone to the Hellmouth instead of spending my vacation going to all those places we went." She sobbed.

"You cannot be everywhere at once. It was an unexpected incident Buffy. No one knew it was going to happen. I sent an owl to Sam a week before school let out and asked him if need our assistance. He sent it back saying no and for you to enjoy your break. You want to avenge her death then put a stake through those bastards heart and don't let them get to you."

After hearing what he had said Buffy had stopped her crying and looked up at him. He smiled down at her. She wiped the remaining tears away and returned his smile.

"You're right as always Giles. I'm going to drive a stake through their heart for Kendra. What does the council know about these two? Can you talk to Sam? I need to know what I'm up against if I'm going to take them out."

"I'll owl them as soon as I can. Ready to rejoin the others?"

"Yeah, I am. Thanks Giles. I love you." She said hugging him tight.

"I love you too Buffy."
