A/n: I'm bouncing off the walls again! Hehehe! I'm not really but I love that song! I need some sugar. No not really I guess! Okay, nobody likes my stories but that's okay. I started another one called Meant to Live. It's a Buffy/Charmed/HP x-over so please check it out and review! I guess I should finish this story anyway.

"It ate his skin?" Buffy asked as she walked into her classroom. She didn't seem to notice a student waiting for her. Of course, no one would have noticed this student because he was hiding.

"Yea, it was really gross to look at. And the only way to kill this demon was to poke its eyeballs and I dropped my stake so I had to use my thumbs." Sami explained. She didn't notice their guest either.

"Gross!" Buffy laughed. "But a Slayer's got to do what a Slayer's got to do. So does this Frankie know about you then too?"

"Well," Sami said, "We took him back to the library and Giles bandaged him and everything. And I tried to tell him that he was dreaming but it didn't work." Buffy just laughed. "Then we told him that were we a crime club and that the gnarl was actually and animal. He wanted to join the club but we said there was no room."

"That's the lamest cover-up I've ever heard." Buffy teased.

"I know." Sami admitted. "He's bound to find out anyway."

"Yeah, it happens. My whole graduating class found out." Buffy replied.

"So," Sami started as she hopped onto the teacher's desk to sit, "when did you tell you're mom?"

"It just kind of came up about two years after I was called." Buffy answered. "Why?"

"Well, I think I should tell her but Giles doesn't feel the same way." Sami explained and hoped that her silent question would be caught by Buffy.

"I think you should." Buffy advised. "It was a slight pain because she didn't understand but she wanted to so she would tag along when I patrolled sometimes but otherwise I didn't have to try and sneak in and out of the house. Plus it wasn't as weird when I was at the scene of some freak accidents and things like that." Sami nodded and made a mental note to tell her mom when she got back. "But when you tell her," Buffy continued, "make sure you have the time to explain everything to her. That was my mistake. I told my mom in the middle of an apocalypse so I couldn't sit and explain, I had to run out to save the world."

"Was it bad, with your mom?" Sami asked.

"Well, she tried to stop me from leaving the house to go stop the apocalypse but I had to go. She told me that if I left not to come back so I ended up running away." Buffy told the girl hoping that she'd learn from her mistakes. "Anyway, tell me all about Ana and Matt."

"So where's Sami? I thought we could chat before she goes." Hermione asked Dawn who was rummaging through her suitcase obviously looking for something.

"She's training with Buffy." Dawn answered. "Aha!" She exclaimed pulling a camera out of her bag. "I want some pictures before I leave. I got a few from the Ball."

Hermione eyed the camera, she hated taking pictures. "We should wait for Sami then."

"Yea," Dawn agreed. "And Ana."

"Is she with Lupin again?" Hermione asked as she sat on her bed and stared at Dawn.

"Yeah, she's been with him a lot lately but I guess I can understand. She's got a lot to sort through." Dawn said and she sat down also. Then she looked around. "I keep forgetting that there aren't clocks around, do you know what time it is? I'm hungry."

"It's noon, do you want to go down to lunch?" Hermione offered. She was actually hungry as well.

"Sure." Dawn answered and the pair made their way through the halls. They had just reached the doors to the Great Hall when the Entrance Hall was filled with laughter. Dawn turned around and saw the other two girls coming down the stairs; they were both laughing as something Sami had said.

"They ran away?!" Buffy said. Her eyes were watering from laughing so hard. "And they're supposedly your big bad?"

"Yeah." Sami said. She had to admit that she'd been extremely worried about nothing. If these vampires couldn't even stand to fight her, then she really shouldn't worry. She felt foolish for being so worried. "But I still wanna know what they're up to."

"That's smart, just in case." Buffy replied and looked to the doors. "Hi Dawnie." She exclaimed.

"Hi Buffy, had a good work out?" Dawn asked as they all walked into the Great Hall and headed for the Gryffindor table.

"Yeah," Buffy smiled and nodded toward Sami, "she's just a little ball of energy."

"Is it green energy cause then we'd have something in common." Dawn joked. Both Sami and Buffy laughed but Hermione didn't and neither did Ron, Harry, or Matt who had just walked into the conversation. Hermione gave Dawn a funny look. "Don't ask, I'll explain later. They all took a seat and started eating.

The others made they're way back to the common room once more and were probably already there. Sami, however, got left behind as she stopped in a bathroom. She was trying her hardest to remember where she was going but since the staircases moved as well as everything else that could be used to guide her, she was rather lost.

She heard the distant sounds of feet coming down the corridor. Then suddenly there was a whirl of black hair as a dog ran by. It stopped and came back to Sami. Her mouth broke into a smile as the dog sat down right in front of her and stared.

"Well," she said in a very baby talk tone of voice, "aren't you the cutest little thing." She reached down and pet the black dog. "What's your name?" Sami searched for a collar but did not find one. The dog took off at a run. "Wait!" She called and run after it. He turned right, then left, then left again, then right and up some stairs. Sami stopped keeping track. The black dog run into a door. Sami ran in after it. She looked around the room. There was the man who claimed to be Ana's dad and there was Ana. She didn't see a dog but she did see a third man with shaggy black hair and skin so pale she swore he was a vampire, except the sunlight was hitting him through the window and he wasn't burning.

"Sorry to interrupt but did you just see a black dog run in here?" Sami asked very confused. She didn't see another way out and she didn't see the dog run back out. The man, Remus, glared over at the pale man. Sami looked at him too. He smiled in guilt.

"What? I had to stretch my legs!" He said. Sami looked at him with confusion then back to Remus and then over to Ana. She laughed slightly.

"He's a dog man." She joked and got reproving glares from both Remus and the pale man. "Sami," Ana said more seriously, "this is Mr. Remus Lupin, my dad. And he," Ana pointed to the pale man, "is my dad's friend Sirius Black. Mr. Black escaped from prison and is now living in exile." Remus was about to add to the story but Sami cut him off.

"And why was Mr. Black in prison per say?" Sami asked and stared at Black. She didn't trust him.

"Well, see everyone thought he killed thirteen people but he's innocent." Ana said quickly. Sami nodded but didn't take her eyes off the man.

"Oh, well, that's, um, nice." Sami narrowed her eyes. She continued to look at Black but spoke to Ana. "I'd better get going, Dawn wants pictures. You should come too, if you're finished here, because we don't have much time left to take pictures."

"Alright, I'm coming, but we need to talk Sami." Ana said. She crossed the room and went out the door. Sami backed out still glaring at Black.

"What do we need to talk about?" Sami asked.

"Well, Remus is my dad." Ana started. "And he wants me to go and live with him."

"What!?" Sami yelled in shock. She stopped dead in the hall and looked at Ana. "You….you can't! Hellmouth!" Sami struggled to get out.

"Well, I'd go back with you and check with you're mom and then I'd get my stuff and go an live with him." Ana said carefully. "This is so great, he's so nice, and I can learn magic."

"HELLMOUTH!" Sami said forcefully.

"You've got Dawn and Matt and Giles to help you. You don't need me."

"I need you, you're my sister." Sami said finally finding her words.

"No I'm not." Ana said quietly. Sami almost didn't catch these words.

"You sure as hell are." Sami exclaimed. "You've lived with us forever."

"But I'm not your blood relative, Remus is." Ana explained.

"I don't care about blood relations." Sami said.

"I just need to do this, for me. I have to see what happens." Ana said. "I've never had a father."

"Neither have I and I'm perfectly fine." Sami pointed out.

"I just need to do this." Ana replied. "If it doesn't work out then I'll come back but I have to know." Ana said.

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

Sami and Ana walked silently into the common room. Everyone was gathered together. Dawn hopped up and exclaimed, "PICTURES!" They spent the rest of the day taking pictures in various locations. And finally came the time to leave but no one was ready. After everything was packed and everyone gathered in the room they'd came in, it was time for good-byes. Sami was sad to leave, she felt cheated out of this experience. When Remus had approached her to say goodbye she turned her back toward him and pretended to be saying goodbye to Spike. He didn't try again. Finally it was time to go back.

When they did get back it was very late and Sami didn't want to wake her mom. Instead she called home and left a message that she and Ana had gotten back safely and that they'd be there tomorrow. They were sleeping at Giles.
