A/N 1: Another WiP by yours truly. Probably won't be any longer then 10 chapters (probably being the operative word here...) This takes place in the fourth season after "The I in Team" - Buffy was with Riley for a while, but when Walsh tried to kill her, she broke up with him because he was in on the whole thing – he was helping Walsh try to get Buffy killed. Harry and Draco are in their first year out of Hogwarts.

A/N 2: I've made an addition to the above author's note - Willow was never with Tara, she's still kinda-sorta pining over Oz. Xander has decided to go to college with Anya in New York.

I am SOOO sorry about the lack of updates. My muse has once again gone on holiday to the purely HP universe without consulting me first, and has left me in a rut with my crossovers. She won't listen to my whining, so I'm truly sorry about the lack of updates. Really…ummm…I love you??

Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive…

Buffy walked out of the dining hall after dinner smiling from ear to ear. She had just finished the most interesting conversation she'd ever had with someone about vampires.

That person just happened to be a very sexy dark haired, green eyed British man who just transferred to Sunnydale U the previous week.

And now, it was off to Giles'.

Fun.

Buffy wrapped her jacket closer to herself when she heard footsteps behind her. She wrapped her hand around the stake up her sleeve, poised and ready to strike. "Who's there?"

"It's just me," Harry said stepping out from behind her. He was smiling at the surprised look on her face.

"Harry – what are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you, I'm just surprised that you're here and all being that it's so late and it's dark and kinda scary and dangerous and yeah, I'm just going to shut up now," Buffy said turning a bit red.

Harry laughed. "It's fine, really. I just saw you walking, wondered if you wanted any company."

The grin on his face was enough to make her knees turn to jelly. Oh my good lord, he's hot. "Of course. I was kind of lonely anyway." Buffy smiled and inched a bit closer to him. She purposely brushed her hand against his, hoping he would get the message.

Harry got the hint – he slipped his hand in hers and couldn't help but grin when he felt her fingers link with his.

"So, where you headed to this time of night?" Harry asked breaking the silence.

"A friend's house. He has some news to tell me. I figure I can make him wait – no news is good news, right?"

"How I wish that theory was true." Buffy thought she noticed a shadow cross his features as he said this, but it was gone almost as quickly as it had appeared.

The two walked in silence the rest of the way to the edge of the campus. They reached the street and Harry let go of her hand as she turned towards him. Buffy smiled. "So I – I'll see you later?"

Harry nodded. "I think that can be arranged."

"Okay – goodnight then." She was about to leave when Harry gave her a quick peck on the lips. He just smiled and walked away.

Buffy touched a thumb to her lips and watched him go in amazement. She shook her head smiling and headed off to Giles, a skip in her step.

When Buffy arrived, Willow was already sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee and watching a fly whiz around the room. Buffy watched amused from the doorway. "Flies that interesting, ay Will?"

Willow nodded. "It's banged into the wall a couple of times. It's really kinda funny," she said, turning to Buffy. Buffy just arched her eyebrow. Willow's face fell. "In a not-so-funny-type of way?" She sighed. "I'm bored and this was something to pass the time. Shut up."

Buffy laughed and sat down on the couch next to her friend. "Well, say no more, because Buffy is here - "

"Oh good, you're here. Now I can speak to you both," Giles said coming into the room.

"-and Giles can ruin her fun once again." Buffy leaned forward and shrugged off her jacket. "So what is it this time? Ghouls? Goblins? Big, scary monsters with horns where their heart should be?"

"Actually, wizards. Two of them," Giles said calmly, sipping a cup of tea.

Buffy eyed Willow. "Wizards."

"Yes."

"And this would be dangerous...how?" Willow asked confusedly.

"No no - no danger. I just wanted to let you know that there are two wizards showing up. They're the son and godson of some old...acquaintances of mine."

"And let me guess. These acquaintances are from your Ripper days?" Buffy asked warily.

"Yes. B-but they're good. They're coming to help you."

"Help me what? Slay? Look Giles, I appreciate the gesture, but really, I can handle the whole slaying of vampires deal. I am the slayer after all. Sorta comes with the territory."

"I'm well aware of that," Giles said sitting down, "but the fact of the matter is, you could use some help that I just can't provide. It's just you and Willow since Xander's gone off to New York, and – why am I explaining this to you? I'm your watcher Buffy – "

"Were you not around for the 'watching my lover die, back turned, no more orders, yadda yadda yadda' speech in June, or was I just talking to myself?" Buffy asked annoyed. She got up and started pacing.

"I was there Buffy, but as your mentor, and as someone you come to for help, I still suggest that you at least try to work with these people."

Buffy rolled her eyes. "I have everything under control." Giles just arched his eyebrow. Buffy glared at him and crossed her arms.

"Why don't you just meet them – you know, give them a chance?" Willow said, trying to be the sensible one.

Buffy pouted but relented. "Oh all right. But that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Good, it's settled then," Giles said standing up. "They'll be here tomorrow when you get back from patrol."

"Got it," Buffy said and walked towards the door.

"Oh and Buffy?" Buffy paused in the doorway and turned to Giles. "Be careful."

Buffy shrugged. "Aren't I always?" she said before walking out the door. She waved through the window and Willow sighed and lay back down on the couch getting comfortable.

"Giles?"

"Hmm?"

"Did these wizards go to a private school I've never heard of before in England?"

"Probably – why do you ask?"

Willow shrugged, her thoughts wandering to a certain blonde-haired guy she'd just met. "Just wondering…" She got up off of the couch saying, "I'm gonna go meet up with Buffy. See you tomorrow."

"Of course – goodnight Willow."

"Night."

~**~

"I still can't believe you've dragged me here."

"Malfoy, do shut up. I don't want to hear your whining."

"But why do we have to be in a cemetery in the middle of the bloody night?"

"Do you want to see the slayer in action or not?"

Draco grumbled something under his breath that Harry didn't catch, nor did he care to. Harry just continued walking until he heard a loud thump followed by a small yelp of pain. Harry held a finger to his lips. Draco rolled his eyes as if to say, 'obviously.' Harry just ignored him.

The two hid behind a bush and watched the person they could only assume was the slayer in action. She had her back to them and they couldn't get a good enough look at her face, but Harry could tell right away why this one girl was so feared in the demon world. Every movement was fluid, almost like a perfectly planned dance.

Y'know, except for the part when she got thrown into a headstone. Or a tree. Or an empty grave. But Harry wouldn't hold that against her – no, not at all.

Harry cringed as he heard a loud crack as the girl's back hit the edge of the wall of a mausoleum. Draco flinched, but still commented, "Oh, that was graceful."

"Do shut up Malfoy. I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm," Harry said annoyed.

"I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm," Draco mocked, "Honestly Potter, your reasoning lacks sense."

"Keep your hole shut, will you! Do you want her to see us?"

"It would make the night more interesting now wouldn't it," Draco quipped. The two were bickering so much that they didn't hear the slight snap of a twig as someone popped up behind them. Harry saw the shadow and Draco saw his eyes widen. Draco closed his eyes. "There's someone behind me isn't there?"

Harry nodded and stood up. Draco followed suit and turned around, bracing himself for what he might be about to face.

A/N: CLIFFIE!!!!!

 No, I'm not evil – not at all… *evil EVIL grin*
