Chapter 8: Staff, Sword and other Weapons.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, only the plot. Harry and co. belongs to J. K. Rowling, Buffy to Joss Whendon and Dante to some Japanese person.

With that note the dazed teachers returned to their seats, talking about the amazing muggle duel that had just taken place, and about not wanted to get on the wrong sides of the new members of faculty. Harry sat up at the staff table next to Buffy, it would be pointless sitting at the Gryffindor table. As he ate Harry wondered just what this day would bring, with an already interesting start, and how much safer the castle would be with two professional demon hunters in the building.

When breakfast had finished, Dumbledore lead Buffy and Dante to find a suitable room for training, sparring, and demonstrations (for their classes). Harry, not wanting to intrude, went to the library, and (heaven forbid) searched for some more information on the Potions assignment, under the question, 'Write down and explain all the uses of Dragons Blood, Wolfsbane and Boomslang. It was a hard essay, Hermione had owled him saying how hard it was to find information about potions in which they could all be in together without exploding everywhere, causing serious injuries. Harry himself thought it had been rather easy, most probably because he had stayed up through countless nights studying hard (especially in Potions).
About an hour later Harry had finished his essay, gone over the finer points, he thought he'd done a pretty good job on it, but knowing Snape, he's probably get downgraded anyway. Sighing he stood up to get another book to read, 'might as well do something other than homework' he thought. Harry picked up a book from the 'History of Magic, Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime,' section called, 'Famous Witches, Wizards and their Deeds from the Beginning of Time,' Harry collected his homework and went back to the Gryffindor Common room, intending on reading it there.
Instead of actually getting to Gryffindor Tower, Harry was sidetracked. Dumbledore had obviously finished setting up Buffy's' and Dantes' training room because she was extremely hyper-active when they crossed paths.
"Harry! You've got to see this!!!" She exclaimed, "The training rooms really cool, it big, it has lots of weapons and it's very, very cool!" she rambled.
"What, now?" Harry asked, she gave an enthusiastic nod, "Okay then, not like I'm doing anything right now anyway."
The room was significantly beautiful, the walls were painted red and gold, like the Gryffindor common room, there was a weapons cabinet with glass windows filled with all kinds of weapons, swords, stakes and daggers.
"Would you like to spar?" Dante asked Buffy, and not wanting to get in the way Harry left.
With nothing else to do Harry went to down by the lake, without meaning to his mind started to wonder back to the Third Task, and Cedric. Harry's eyes welled up and he silently cried, hoping Cedric was in a happy, peaceful place.
The clouds turned a deep black, rain water poured relentlessly against the dried summer grass, the lake quickly flooded, mud trails went everywhere, it pounded the ground and the castle. But Harry didn't notice, the rain just rolled off of him. He was picked up by someone strong, he didn't stop running until he reached the nearly flooded Entrance Hall. All of a sudden the rain stopped, when Harry was put back down on the stone floor.
"Wh-What happened?" Harry asked, only just realising he was soaking wet, "Dante? How'd I get here?"
"I just saved you from getting hypothermia and drowning outside and a carried you here." was Dante's reply.
"It was raining, when did that happen?"
"You do ask a lot of questions. It started raining about half an hour ago, no-one knew where you were so Buffy, the Headmaster and I started looking for you. Now I think you should go to the infirmary and get checked over."
"Yes Dante." and with that Harry went to the Infirmary.
******Meanwhile at the Borrow******
The rain had come over so suddenly that Ginny didn't have much time to collect her artwork and head back to the safety that was called home. Running she fell headfirst into a muddy puddle, losing all her artwork. Anger and embarrassment over came her, at her own stupidity. Clouds started to rumble, then out of the darkness surrounding the Borrow, Ginny Weasly was hit with a powerful thunderbolt.
