A/n: Buffy isn't mine.
Thanks to the people who reviewed. Most of you asked for a longer chapter, so here it is!!
Ginny was sitting in Dumbledore's office with Sirius and Dumbledore. She had a sense of deep foreboding that chilled her to the bone. Dumbledore was looking at her with a sad look in his warm eyes and Sirius looked very uncomfortable.
Sirius cleared his throat "Ginny, as you know there are creatures in our world that don't belong in the muggle world." "Like vampires?" asked Ginny, quite unsure of where this was going. Sirius looked her with what looked like pity in his eyes. "Exactly, like vampires. As you know, vampires can be killed quite easily in the magical world, a simple spell with the aid of a wand and they 'die', for want of a better word. In the muggle world, it's different. There are slight differences, too complicated to go into now, between the two worlds. In the muggle world, the elements in the air are made up differently. It's too miniscule for anyone to notice but it means that, in the muggle world, our wands are useless on vampires." Sirius paused and looked over at Dumbledore, who nodded kindly at him, encouraging him to continue.
Ginny looked at him inquisitively, still wondering what it had to do with her. "But our wands still work in the muggle world, how is it that they don't kill vampires?" "That's a very good question Ginny," said Dumbledore. "The story is long and complicated, and far too detailed to go into now, but I will give you the basic idea. The first ever vampire was Penthas. He was a servant of a very dark witch, Cara but it is said that he displeased her, so she cursed him. He became a vampire, not dead and not of the living. He wandered around for a while, only appearing at night, and drinking the blood of the living to survive. Then he fell in love, or the nearest thing that a thing without a soul can come to love, for Cara took away the most precious thing that a human possesses, his soul." At this time, Dumbledore stopped. Ginny was looking at him with interest but also with obvious confusion. She still didn't understand why she was being told all this.
"Penthas became obsessed with a muggle farm girl and vowed to find a way to make him like her, an immortal and so he came up with a plan, he would make her close to death and then force her to drink some of him blood, thus transferring some of his life-force to her and turning her into a vampire. His plan worked, and from that moment on, they rampaged through both worlds, killing some, changing others until their kind and spread like an epidemic throughout the world. They mostly, stuck to the muggle world, as they knew that they were a lot harder to kill there, it seems that their skin becomes impervious to wand magic in the muggle world, although they still could not go out in sunlight without combusting. Also, muggles were less willing to believe in them, turning them into mere fairytales". Dumbledore looked at the man sitting beside him. "Would you like to continue Sirius?"
"Of course." Sirius turned his attention to Ginny. "The Forces of Good knew that something evil, something that threatened to end the world was coming and so they sent a soldier. On the day Penthas was cursed, a witch was born to a pureblood family. She was to become the first Vampire Slayer." Ginny interrupted him. "The first what?" "Vampire Slayer" replied Sirius. "The one girl in all two worlds with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires and stop the spread of they're evil. When she became of age, she began to hunt and kill vampires and any other creatures that threatened mankind. She was guided by her Watcher, a person assigned to her by the Forces of Good to train and mentor her. When she died, another was chosen. She inherited all the strength and skill that that the Slayer before her had, and so it has been ever since. The new Slayer is told what she is by her Watcher, who also has no choice in what he or she becomes. They are destined to be Watchers just as the girls are destined to be Slayers. She must protect the muggle world from the evil that most muggles do not believe in. Every Slayer since the First has been a muggle"
"I'm sorry Sirius," Ginny interrupted, "but what has this all this got to so with me?" Sirius cleared his throat. "Well Ginny, the thing is, all the Slayers since the first have been muggle born. Until now. Two weeks ago, the last Slayer..well, she died, and now the new Slayer must be informed. Ginny, it's you. You're the new Vampire Slayer."
Ginny looked at the two men in amazement. "You're joking!" she spluttered. This was insane! She couldn't be A Vampire Slayer; she was just Ginny Weasley, basically average in every way. "I know this must come as a shock for you" said Sirius kindly to an ashen-faced Ginny. "Well that's the understatement of the century," said Ginny dryly. "Look Sirius, Professor Dumbledore, I think you may have made a mistake. There's no way I can be this Slayer person. I have little or no physical strength, I'm pretty uncoordinated- on the ground anyway- and I'm the most unfit person you're ever likely to meet!"
"But Ginny, haven't you noticed in the last two weeks a certain improvement in your speed and agility, even on your broom?" Ginny thought about this, she realised that this must be what it feels like for muggle borns to get their letters from Hogwarts for the first time. "I would like to perform an experiment if I may miss Weasley," said Dumbledore. He conjured up a punching bag, hanging from a hook in the ceiling. "If you could just punch this for me, I think you'll be properly convinced." Ginny looked at both men sceptically, in her opinion, they were both insane, but she decided to humour them. Walking up to the punching bag, Ginny mustered all her strength and hit the punching bag with what she thought was her usual weak attempt at physical power. To her utter surprise, the punching bag was wrenched of its hooks and flew to the other side of the room.
Ginny opened and closed her mouth several times before looking over at Sirius and Dumbledore, who were both looking at her with warmth and respect blazing their eyes. "You see?" said Sirius. "Its you, this is what is supposed to happen, it's destiny."
A thought occurred to Ginny, she was amazed that this one became clear, as her head was awash with thoughts that would take weeks to get straight. "Who will be my watcher?" she asked quietly. At this, Sirius stood up. "That would be me. I'm going to be staying at Hogwarts to train and guide you, we'll work together in all respects and I want you to come to me with any of the questions or worries that I'm sure you'll have."
"May I go back to my dorm now?" asked Ginny, "I need to be alone for awhile." "Of course Ginny" said Professor Dumbledore kindly. With that, Ginny stood up and left the office.
"She's so young," said Sirius sadly, "she has no idea what she has to face, what's ahead of her." Dumbledore looked at him. "I suspect the coming months will be hard, but Ginny is stronger than anyone gives her credit for, and don't forget, she has you." Sirius looked at him and smiled.
