Chapter One: Returning home.
Unsure of what to do next Ginny sighed. She had been thinking about her return to her school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had left there 6 months ago, because of the safety issue with Voldemort being back, and was sent to Sunnydale to live with her cousin Willow Rosenberg. At the time it was unknown to them that Sunnydale also housed the Slayer, Buffy Summers. Although it seemed like Sunnydale was the safest place in the world, it is far from it. Sunnydale was in fact, the Hellmouth. This was a fact that Ginny's family did not know and she did not intend for them to find out. It would be even more disastrous if they found out what she had been doing while she was there.
Because Ginny was family with Willow she was immediately accepted into the Scoobies. The Scoobies, consisting of Buffy (Slayer), Giles (Watcher), Willow (Resident Witch), Xander (Comic Relief), Tara (Witch), Anya (Ex- Vengeance Demon) and, although he won't admit it, Spike (Vampire), brought her into the group as a witchy helper to Willow and Tara. What they didn't realize until later on was that Ginny, in fact, had slayer potential and up until the moment she returned home the Scoobies had been training her to reach her full potential. After practicing enough with Buffy over the physical side of things, Giles for the mental side and adding her Hogwarts training together with Willow and Tara's wandless magic she became powerful enough to rival Buffy, or any other slayer who wanted to cross her path.
But all that was behind her and Ginny was ready to return to her home and to Hogwarts. As she was packing up her things Ginny's thoughts were interrupted by Willow, who had come in to help her pack.
"Gin?" Willow said, "Are you okay? Do you need a hand?"
Willow moved over to where Ginny was standing and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I know you don't wanna go back Gin but you have to. Your family and friends want to see you and you have to go finish your magic studies."
"But Willow" Ginny started, "I can learn all that from you guys. You and Tara can teach me magic, Buffy can finish teaching me how to slay, Giles can help me with magic as well and as for friends and family I have you and Xander and Anya and Dawn."
Willow approached Ginny and hugged her tightly.
"It's not like we want you to leave, it's because you have to. You need to keep training to defeat that Lord Mouldywart person."
Ginny laughed, "Only you would have the guts to call him Lord Mouldywart! I so have to use that one when I get home."
"See" Willow replied, "You wanna go home after all. I had better leave you to pack I should help with dinner. You are having dinner before you leave for Hogwarts aren't you?"
Ginny shrugged, "I suppose I should. I'm going to be dead tired when I get home and I don't really wanna be interrogated by my brothers. This way I can go to the Great Hall to say hi and then leave. I'll be down shortly."
As Willow left the room Ginny sat down on her bed. [I] How am I going to keep this whole slayer thing a secret? [/I] Ginny thought, [I] Oh well. At least I'll be able to see Hogwarts again [/I]
And with a final glance at her packed trunk and empty bedroom Ginny set off downstairs.
Ginny was making her way downstairs when Dawn met her halfway. "Gin, I need to put this blindfold on you." Dawn's statement was met with a confused face. "I would tell you but it's a secret. Sorry" Ginny relented and she was lead blindfolded downstairs by Dawn.
Entering the kitchen the whispers, which inhabited it, fell silent. A quiet 1, 2, 3 came and then a huge 'SURPRISE!' was heard. Dawn removed the blindfold and there sat the gang surrounded by presents, streamers and a cake.
"Awwwwww guys! You shouldn't have" Ginny said before being attacked by the gang.
"But we couldn't let you leave without a proper party, Lil red"
"SPIKE! I thought you left for that strange place which you never mentioned until yesterday?" Ginny smirked
"Don't smirk at me Lil Red. I taught you that smirk so it doesn't work against me."
"Riiiight" Ginny retorted. When Ginny turned around to talk to everyone else there were no chips left and 3 pieces of cake had been eaten. "Xander." Ginny said exasperated, "Thinking about your appetite instead of me. How thoughtless."
Xander was about to spit back a reply but Giles interrupted.
"Virginia, you have to leave now. You are actually 30 minutes late for the Sorting Feast."
Everyone else but Ginny started rushing around trying to get her luggage sorted. Ginny stood rooted to the spot mumbling to her self "I'm leaving, I'm leaving".
Once everyone had gotten Ginny's luggage together the attention turned back to her.
Buffy was first to say goodbye, "Gin you've been a great student and you have massive slayer potential. Don't let it go to waste. Oh and don't worry about that Harry guy. If he hasn't noticed you before this he doesn't deserve you."
Giles was next, "Watch your back and think before you act."
"Thank you for the help in the Magic Box and for handling the money with care." Was Anya's goodbye message.
Xander was next in line, "Don't worry Ginnybean we'll see each other again. You can come back anytime you wanna."
Spike and Willow were the last to say goodbye
Ginny had become closer to Spike then anyone else had, ever. "Lil Red, if anyone bothers you don't be afraid to call and I will come over there and bite their head off, Literally." Ginny giggled. "And tell that brother of mine if he gives you any crap at all he will have me to face."
Ginny had found out that Spike was Draco's sort of adopted brother. Lucius had taken Spike in when Draco was a baby and he worked as an assassin. Spike and Draco had bonded and were as close as real brothers. But Lucius threw Spike out when Draco was 10 because he found out he had worked with Angelus and he said Spike was a traitor because Angelus had been souled.
"Yes Sir" she recited, "Will be sure to give him the message. Just remember to send me that Howler, okay?"
Spike winked as Willow pulled Ginny to her. "Ginny the time you have spent here has been amazing. I don't want you to leave but you have to and I will come visit you, I promise." Willow started to cry.
"Don't cry Will its not like I'm dead or anything. We've always got owl post."
Willow sniffed, "I'm not crying. This is my goodbye face."
The room started laughing. Giles approached Ginny. "Virginia you will have to floo to Hogsmeade because for some reason the Hogwarts ones are blocked. If you walk from Hogsmeade to the castle I'm sure you will have no problem."
Ginny nodded as she approached the fireplace and with a shout of "The three broomsticks" she was gone.
