"So you're really going?" Willow asked.
"Yeah Will's. I need to get away. W can still write though."
"It won't be the same though." Xander told her.
The three had spent the afternoon with Buffy, helping her pack her things and weapons. Giles had told her he would come but Buffy had refused. She'd told him that Faith and the others needed him. At least until the watchers council got her a watcher of her own. Then of course he would visit. Everyone would.
All but Buffy were misty eyes as she left with the two English men. Buffy hadn't cried since she'd told Willow that night about her mother.
"How do we get there?" Buffy asked Sirius.
"We'll take a port key."
"A what?"
"An object charmed to take us to Hogwarts when we touch it."
"Cool."
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." Hagrid pulled out a silver pen and held it to the other two. They each reached out and touched it. With a wink they were gone.
HOGWARTS.
Buffy felt her stomach flip and she hit the ground on her knees, trying to get her sense of direction back.
"'Aright there Buffy?" Hagrid asked her helping her to her feet.
"Sure. Just not used to that I suppose."
"Well let's go in."
"Where's Sirius?" She asked looking around.
"He went in with your luggage."
"Oh." They walked down the path and through huge steel gates. The sight in front of them took Buffy's breath away.
"Welcome to Hogwarts."
"This is a school?!" She exclaimed staring up at the castle.
"Yeah. Run by the greatest wizard ever: Albus Dumbledore."
"Cool!" Buffy really was awed.
After entering the castle Hagrid led her through numerous hallways and up and down stairs. They finally reached large double doors.
"Hagrid? What's behind there?" She asked.
"That's the Great Hall. This is where we are going."
"Okay." Hagrid pushed open the doors and marched into the hall. The teachers were all seated around the head table eating but they all looked up when Hagrid and Buffy entered.
"Professor Dumbledore sir. Sirius and me brought Miss Summers."
"Thankyou Hagrid."
"No problem."
Dumbledore stood up at the head table." Elizabeth Summers?"
"Buffy." She corrected absently.
"Very well. Buffy. Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry."
"Yeah, thanks. Nice place you've got here." The enchanted ceiling had captured Buffy. Dumbledore's eyes sparkled with laughter.
"Very well. Would you care to explain a few things to you." Dumbledore gestured to another teacher and they both rose and led the way from the hall through a side door.
Buffy followed willingly.
