A/n: I wanna thank WhiteWolf 3 for reviewing my last chapter. There isn't much else I'd like to add in this note. Well, actually, I haven't talked about Dirty Girls yet and I wanted to. What are they doing with Xander? He can't loose his eye! It was really gross too. I can't believe they poked his eye out. It was really sad. I hope he'll be ok. I can't wait for the next episode of Buffy. Plus, have you been watching Angel? What the heck is Jasmine, she's very freaky. I can't wait for the next one of that either. Well, I've finished so here's the chapter.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Buffy just stared at her opponents for a few moments trying to shake the feeling of déjà vu she was having. Meanwhile, Sami pulled out the ax she had stored in her purse. She noticed Buffy's hesitation and took advantage of it. She thought Buffy would have been surprised or shocked or not prepared or something but Buffy was prepared. When she looked at Sam, all she saw was Faith. She had to get her mind off of that. Sami wasn't Faith; Sami hadn't killed anyone yet. Sam still needed to be stopped as well as the people she was now working for. Sami swung the ax but Buffy ducked. She tried again but Buffy wrestled it away from her. She then kicked the Slayer and made her fall on her back. She then went to injury, not kill, Sam with the ax but she stopped it. She did a kick-up (is that what you call it?) and threw a punch at Buffy. The girls continued to fight as the Scoobies tried to fight off the Death Eaters. Dumbledore and McGonagall were dueling Voldemort. Buffy took a second to wonder where Snape was, he was usually where ever Dumbledore and McGonagall were. She didn't really have time for thoughts though, she had to concentrate on the fight.

Things were looking grim for the good guys. They were failing horribly to the magic of the bad guys. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were using all that they knew to hold the guys back but it just wasn't enough. Willow was doing her best to match the power and she could have if she wasn't trying to overuse it. Her eyes had already gone solid black. She was using every protection spell she knew and a few other spells as well but she was holding back. She knew she could beat them all with one hand tied behind her back but she was afraid. She had been taught the good magics but she never forgot the dark stuff. She knew that there would be no hope if she turned evil again, she'd be lost forever. She had to try though, things looked that bad.

"Xander!" she yelled over the sounds of the battle.

"What?" he yelled back. He knew what she meant. They had talked about this a while ago. She made him promise that if she turned back and there was no hope, he would do anything to stop her. She didn't come right out and say kill her but Xand knew that's what she meant.

"It looks like I might…" she yelled.

"I know. I promise." He yelled. He didn't want to. The mere thought of it made him sick but it was what he might have to do, to save the world.

Sami threw another punch and Buffy avoided it and punched back.

"Man, I'm a way better Slayer. Have you been training at all?" Buffy sneered.

"How stupid. Let's just fight, you know evil will always prevail over good. There's too much against you. We have dark magic on our side and what do you have? One good fighter, a very powerful witch who's too afraid to use her powers and a bunch of average people who are stupid enough to follow them. We're gonna a win!" Sam spat back in-between moves. Buffy clearly was a better fighter. The invader in Sam's body hadn't been trained as well as Sam and she didn't really know how to use Sam's body that well. But she was a fast learner.

Voldemort must have had lots of faith in his magic. That could be his downfall. He didn't feel it was necessary to have someone watch over his hostage, the real Sami Jones. She actually felt the strength weaken when he and his followers left. She worked harder on her ropes. She could see the fight going on outside of the school. She knew that she was far away from the school but she also knew that it would be better to get of the ropes then still be there if and when Voldemort got back. It took her ten minutes by the time the magic weakened to get out of them. She then had to find the way out. The building she was in looked more like a maze. She was never good at mazes. When her mom would take them to the pumpkin patch and let them go into the adult maze they had made, Sam would go in for about four minutes then decide she was lost. She'd start screaming that she wanted out and someone would hop through the bushes and lead her out. The sinking feeling that she wasn't allow made her not cry out for help. It also made her push her panic away and think. Ana always had a system of getting out of a maze. She'd told Sam once but Sam was having a hard time remembering. It might have been because she was trying not to give into blind panic. She stopped running for a second to think.

Great job Slayer, not only are you used to dark, scary, life or death situations but you get straight A's, you should be able to figure this out, she thought. This was one instance that helped the case that the council had been wrong in their choice as Slayer. For the first time, she pushed that thought away.

Instead of thinking like that, let's prove to them that they did choose the right girl. She gave herself a few moments to regain herself and think clearly. She let her heartbeat drop a bit before continuing. She made a right and continued down a long hallway. She then took a left, then a right. She was beginning to think she was going in circles. She saw a window. She looked down, she was three stories up yet she saw no stairs. Her mind raced over the decision. The window could be magically rigged, or the fall could kill her. After all she was a Slayer, not a cat. She didn't always land on her feet. That didn't matter. She knew that if she died here, then the intruder and her body would also die and vise versa. She breathed in deep and closed her eyes. Silently she prayed to God, then she plead to her friends and her mom for forgiveness. She could help thinking that this could be her last thought. Then, a person grabbed her stomach with one arm and placed a hand over her mouth. He dragged her into a room.

"Get your damn hands off of me! I'm gonna beat your sorry ass! Let me go!" Sami tried to yell. She was flailing her arms and legs. The man, a Death Eater, turned her around to face him and put the hand that had grabbed her to his lips. His hand was still covering Sami's mouth and was pressing her against a wall.

"I'm a teacher at Hogwarts. I know how to get out. Follow me." He said and took his hand away from her mouth. He looked into the hall to make sure that the one person who was standing guard with him was not there. He was probably goofing off somewhere. He crept swiftly through the hall.

"Wait, why are you helping me?" Sam whispered as they crept down a stairwell.

"I'm a good guy. I'm a spy for Dumbledore. We need you." He whispered back, "Now be quiet." He hissed at her and continued. They wound around the second floor and found the other stairwell. Then they ran around the second floor for another ten minutes and came to a stretch of wall that didn't look like anything special. The man stopped. He whipped out his and muttered a few words. A door appeared and he opened it. They left out into the black sky.

"By the way, I'm Professor Snape." He said to Sami as they ran toward a graveyard.

"We'd better get there soon, Buffy's gonna kill me." Sami said to him. She was definitely holding back with her running because she had no idea were she's going and Snape couldn't run as fast.

"Hang on a few seconds and we'll be there." He said. Sam didn't argue. She was confused but she wouldn't argue. He ran for about five seconds then stopped. "Grab my hand." He ordered. Sami didn't hesitate. She grabbed. "Hold tight." He warned and he waved his wand. Everything around them disappeared and there was a spinning sensation. Then Sami was standing in the Entrance Hall in Hogwarts and she could she students running in every direction except out. She heard the panic in their voices. It was time.
