A/n: Why does nobody review? I really don't know if it's worth it to finish this story anymore if no one's reading. Maybe I'll just stop it there. I had a few more chapters planned but if no one's reviewing it must mean that no one's reading so maybe I'll stop wasting disk and internet space. Oh well, for now I'll just continue.

Sami sat up in her bed and looked around. Harry was sitting in the bed next to her talking to Ron and Hermione. In the other bed, Willow laid unconscious. Xander was sitting in a chair next to her and Buffy was pacing the room. Matt threw his arms around Sami and she grunted on impact. Buffy hurried to her bedside with hopeful eyes.

"You're ok!" Matt was saying. "She tried everything and you just wouldn't wake. I was so worried." He continued to hold Sami as though if he let go, she'd die. Sami just smiled at Buffy for a few seconds.

"W-w-where's Ana and Dawn?" Sami asked after finding her voice. Matt pulled away from her with tears in his eyes. Buffy continued to stare at her.

"Dawn's sleeping in the dorm but she was here the entire time. Ana's off someone talking with her father." Matt answered.

"So, they're getting along and everything. Is he a nice guy? What's he like?" Sami asked. She was happy about her father and she wanted Ana to have a great father as well.

"He's amazing. I haven't really talked to either of them much though, I guess they have a lot to talk about." Matt confused. He didn't really seem that interested in the topic. Sami looked over at Willow.

"Is she…?" She asked but she couldn't finish.

"She's just sleeping, she came around a few hours after the fight." Matt answered again. Buffy and Xander didn't seem to want to talk. "You scared me so much, we thought. I mean you were out for so long and she couldn't figure out why because she healed your wound but you just wouldn't wake up." Matt rambled.

"How long was I out?" Sami asked. It hadn't felt long enough when she was with her dad.

"Three days." Matt said and he hugged her again. Then he got up. "I'm going to go get everyone and tell them you're awake." He practically ran out of the room. Buffy came closer.

"Hi." She said meekly. She was slightly uncomfortable because she didn't know this girl, not really. She knew this body but it was a different girl. Sami didn't say anything but smiled at her. "How are you doing?"

"Good." Sami replied knowing Buffy felt bad. "Great actually." It was the truth. Sami was content, she wasn't in pain and her brain was full of happy thoughts.

"I am so sorry, I didn't…" Buffy started to plead for forgiveness but Sami interrupted.

"I would have done the same thing." Sami smiled at her. "I, or that thing, was evil. It wasn't me. Hey, I thought I was dead so this is definitely a plus." She laughed. Buffy laughed also though she didn't truly get the remark. Madam Pomfrey came in and told Sami she was free to leave after a check up of course. Sami changed into her clothes that someone had brought down for her.

"Sami." Buffy called as the young slayer neared the door. Sami turned around and stared at Buffy in a kind manner. "We'll talk, later, before you leave."

"I'd like that, thank you." Sami smiled. She'd really wanted to talk to Buffy. "I'll see you around." She called to both of them and walked out the door. She decided to look in the dorms first. There she found Dawn who was hurriedly changing into clothes and Hermione who was tapping her foot impatiently. Neither of them noticed Sami come in.

"Would you hurry up?!" Hermione said with some exhaustion in her voice.

"I want to see her more than you do but I have to be wearing clothes!" Dawn replied. Sami laughed.

"Who do you want to see?" Sami asked. She knew perfectly well who they were talking about. Dawn turned around half way through putting her shoes on.

"SAMI!" She screamed in excitement and attacked Sami in a bear hug. "Are you ok? Why aren't you in the hospital wing? How are you feeling? What happened."

"Whoa, down girl!" Sami said and Dawn backed away slightly. "I'm fine and Madam Pomfrey said I could go. Lets get the gang and I'll try to explain as much as I can." Hermione and Dawn helped round up the gang. Somehow Dumbledore intercepted them and told them to convene in his office.

"You are all wondering what has happened over the past couple of days." Dumbledore said once everyone had gathered. He was sitting in his chair. Sami and Willow were sitting in the chairs across from him and everyone else was standing around them. "First, one in our number should reveal himself." Everyone turned around to look to see what happened. The black dog that had come with Mr. Lupin suddenly disappeared but instead, there stood a man with black hair. "This is Sirius Black." No body in the room said anything since anyone who didn't already know hadn't heard of this name before. "Now where does this whole thing begin?"

"In the forest, that night." Sami chimed in. She hadn't been sure whether or not this was a rhetorical question or not.

"Yes, thank you." Dumbledore replied and smiled at her. She raised her chin slightly in pride. Dumbledore continued. "Voldemort," A shudder went through the room. "placed a curse on you." Dumbledore said, pointing with his eyes to Sami. "One of the Unforgivable Curses to force you down to the forest. The Imperious Curse, it's used to control minds." Dumbledore looked straight at Sami as he spoke.

"But, sir, I broke it." Sami said remembering what had happened.

"Yes, only those who have a strong mind or will are able to break the curse." Sami smiled proudly, although she was sure Giles would say that her strong will wasn't always helpful.

"He had me circled in the forest and I tried to run, after deducing that physical fighting would not be that great of an idea." Sami added. She hoped she was helping him fill in the details.

"And he hit you with another spell." Dumbledore said. "But this is where I fall short. I have never seen or heard of a curse that could have done the things it did to you."

"Sir," Willow interrupted. Sami turned and smiled. She was relieved to see her here. "When she was found, she muttered things." Willow turned to Xander and Buffy. "She said things that Tara said when Glory made her crazy." Sami made a mental note to look for Glory in the Watcher Diaries.

"I believe that his goal was to drive you to the dark arts again so that you could join his ranks." Dumbledore explained. Willow looked away feeling ashamed.

"But, I still don't get what he did to me." Sami proclaimed. "I mean, I could see and hear everything that happened to me and around me but I couldn't control my body. I was being held in some building, tied to a chair. How did he do that."

"Magic, again. He extracted your soul and replaced it with another. Of course, your soul had to be kept somewhere. You were held at the Death Eaters' headquarters."

"Yeah, and I would have been completely lost in that place if it hadn't been for Professor Snape." She commented. Harry exchanged glances with Ron and Hermione.

"Yes, Professor Snape rescued her from their headquarters." Dumbledore stated to the three. "When you got here, your body should have recognized that you were the right soul and should have righted itself."

"Yeah, boy that was fun." Sami said sarcastically.

"And then I stabbed her." Buffy added, feeling that her guilt would never go away. Sami turned in her seat and smiled at her.

"And I tried all veiny, black haired Willow." Willow added. "How did that end anyway?" She asked Dumbledore.

"I was prepared when I decided to take you in. I found a German spell that had been used once before to cure a case similar to yours about two hundred years ago. You are free to use magic without the fear of turning evil. You're dark magic has been replaced with good magic." Dumbledore finished explaining. Everyone left the office with their heads ready to burst.

"Do we really have to leave tomorrow?!" Sami whined as she, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Dawn, Ana, and Matt walked down the hall. "I mean," She turned to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, " you guys are forever going to think of me as evil, we haven't really gotten a chance to get to know each other!"

"I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again." Hermione said. "You-Know-Who can't really be dead."

"I don't believe he could ever die." Harry added. "And for heavens sake, call him bye his name, VOLDEMORT!" Ron and Hermione flinched.

"Besides, we can always owl." Hermione smiled at Sami.

"We should pack so that we have the rest of the time to hang out." Dawn suggested and the group made their way back to the common room. Packing was a long and hard process as always. They had to figure out what they would need the next day and leave that either out or on the top of the things in the suitcase.
