Chapter 3: Revelations
They had been sitting in Dumbledore's office for about 10 minutes before someone spoke. Snape was fuming, McGonagall looked worried but Professor Dumbledore just looked thoughtful. While Ginny sat twiddling her thumbs she began to sing, "My what a lovely bunch of coconuts." Professor Snape exploded. "How can you be so calm when you almost died back there? You just killed 3 vampires in front of the whole school!"
Ginny laughed, "That was soooo not nearly dieing! I have had much closer calls then that. Like there was that one time with those umm.. Whaddya call em. Stick their arm in your chest, rip out your heart dudes, well one of them had me cornered and then.." Looking up Ginny noticed the looks on her Professor's faces, "I said too much didn't I? I'm turning into Willow."
Professor McGonagall turned to face Ginny, "Willow, your cousin, made you face all this?"
"Well no. it was mostly Buffy, although Willow was there."
"Buffy, the longest lasting slayer in history?" came Snape's surprised voice.
"I've said too much again." She made to leave, "I think I will be leaving about now."
Professor Dumbledore stopped her with his hand. "Now Miss Weasley I think you have some explaining to do."
Ginny sighed and sat back down. "Well then, if I have to. Just promise you won't yell or scream or anything drastic." Dumbledore nodded, "Well then. it all started like this."
(A.N: Basically, she followed the scoobies when they went patrolling and was cornered by a vamp and kicked his sorry arse.)
By the time Ginny had finished all three professors mouths were hanging open.
"You mean t-to say t-t-that you are a-a-a-a potential s-s-slayer?" stuttered Professor McGonagall.
Ginny nodded. Professor Dumbledore sighed.
"You may leave now Miss Weasley. Just don't get into anymore trouble."
Ginny nodded and left. Once she was gone Professor Dumbledore sighed and said, mostly to himself, "What are we going to do with her?"
Ginny returned to Gryffindor Tower and then realized she did not know the password. Luckily, or unluckily, whichever way you look at it, Ron, Harry and Hermione were waiting outside the Fat Lady's portrait for her.
"Virginia Lee Weasley! I have not seen you in months and then you turn up and kick the crap out of a bunch of vampires! I would be expecting a howler from mum sometime soon!"
Hermione was a little more silent. Harry stood thoughtfully for a minute before asking, "Hey Ginny, How are ya?"
"Finally! Someone has the idea to say hello. And I am very good Harry thank you very much. Now if you don't mind I will be going off to bed now."
Before any of them could stop her she strode past them into the common room and up to her dormitory.
The next morning was a Saturday. Ginny awoke before the rest of her dorm. Dressing quickly in a pair of black cargos and a black tank top she strode off downstairs and to the great hall.
By the time everyone else had reached the Great Hall and began to eat their breakfast the morning post came. Everyone around Ginny looked up in surprise when she received 3 howlers. Looking at them and summing up who they could be from she opened up the first one.
Ginny's mothers voice rang out across the hall.
"VIRGINIA LEE WEASLEY! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE DOING IN SUNNYDALE! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE LIVING WITH THE SLAYER? AND MOST OF ALL WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE LIVING IN THE HELLMOUTH? I AM FURIOUS. I WILL BE GIVING THAT WILLOW ROSENBURG A GOOD TALKING TO NEXT TIME I SEE HER FOR PUTTING YOU IN SO MUCH DANGER. IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE I WILL COME UP THERE AND COLLECT YOU MYSELF."
The howler then turned to Ron, "AND I WANT YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER RONALD BRIAN WEASLEY." The howler burst into a puff of smoke. People around started to laugh but they still had their eyes on Ginny in anticipation of her opening the other 2 howlers.
This howler was from Buffy and the Scoobies.
"GINNY! (This was Buffy's voice) FIGURES AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK TO SCHOOL YOU GET INTO TROUBLE. I HOPE YOU REMEMBERED YOUR FIGHTING TECHNIQUES AND WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. There was sound of a scuffle, HOLD UP WILLOW WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOU. Willows voice came across, GINNY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! YOUR MOTHER IS FURIOUS WITH ME. I THOUGHT YOU TOLD HER WE LIVED IN A HELLMOUTH. I DON'T THINK SHE WILL LET ME SEE YOU EVER AGAIN. BY THE WAY, I HEARD YOU DID SOME GREAT FIGHTING. HERE, XANDER WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. Xander's voice came across, DUDE THIS IS HELL AWESOME! HEY GINNYBEAN! GREAT FIGHTING THE OTHER DAY, BUFFSTER SAID SHE COULD FEEL YOU FIGHTING THEM AND SHE SAID YOU WERE AWESOME. OH AND BY THE WAY, IF YOU TALK TO BUFFY DO NOT MENTION YOU KNOW WHO, WHO DID YOU KNOW WHAT. OKAY I SUPPOSE I HAVE EMBARRASSED YOU ENOUGH SO I'LL LEAVE YOU TO DO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING BEFORE. BY THE WAY, G-MAN SAYS HI. CYAZ GINNYBEAN!
The hall broke out into giggles. Ron turned to Harry, "Ginnybean?" he asked. Ginny left the third howler because at that moment Draco received one. Knowing who this was from Ginny stood up and called out "After you Malfoy" Hesitantly he opened the howler.
"I HAVE RECIEVED SOME VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION DRACONIS LUCIOUS MALFOY. WHEN I ASKED A FRIEND OF MINE WHAT YOU ARE LIKE NOW THAT I AM GONE SHE TOLD ME YOU WERE AN ASSHOLE! NOW DRACO I BELIEVE THIS FRIEND OF MINE AND WANT YOU TO BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE. NOT WHO YOUR FATHER WANTS YOU TO BE. NOW IF YOU ARE NOT NICER TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW, AND EVEN PEOPLE YOU DON'T I WILL COME DOWN THERE AND BITE YOUR HEAD OFF. LITERALLY!
The howler was finished. While the hall exchanged whispers Ginny opened her last howler. As the same voice as was in Draco's howler rang out she began giggling incessantly.
"HEY LITTLE RED! DID DRACO GET HIS HOWLER? ANYWAY I JUST WANTED TO BLAST YOU ON YOUR LITTLE DISPLAY IN THE HALL THE OTHER DAY. YES I WAS THERE WATCHING YOU AND YES I AM PISSED OFF. YOU ARE BACK AT SCHOOL 5 SECONDS AND ALREADY YOU GET INTO A FIGHT WITH 7 VAMPS. ALTHOUGH THAT WAS SOME DAMN GOOD FIGHTING IN THERE. YOU'LL BE SEEING ME SOONER THEN YOU THINK LITTLE RED SO DON'T LET THAT LITTLE BROTHER OF MINE PUSH YOU AROUND TOO MUCH. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING IN 5 YEARS WITH HIM IN A BODY CAST. (Ginny began to smirk) AND DON'T SMIRK I TAUGHT YOU THAT. I KNOW HOW YOU GET WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY."
Draco looked at Ginny in shock. "Was that who I think it was?" he called over the great hall.
"Yeah. Spike asked me how you were and all I did was tell him the truth."
"I'm gonna kill you!"
Suddenly someone stormed into the hall. "No you don't Blondie she could take you in a second." He walked up to Ginny. "Damn I hate my voice when it's that loud. I prefer to be all low and menacing"
Ginny realised who it was, "SPIKE!!!" she cried running to him. "What are you doing here?"
Spike stood up straight and surveyed the head table. "I'll let you know later Little Red. I have some business to attend to."
The student body was dismissed while Spike, Professor Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall strode off into a room beside the hall.
They had been sitting in Dumbledore's office for about 10 minutes before someone spoke. Snape was fuming, McGonagall looked worried but Professor Dumbledore just looked thoughtful.
