Chapter FIFTEEN.
Startled, she looked at the boy that was dancing with her. "So your Severus?"
"Yes."
"Wow, it's good to put a face to a name. Lily has told me about you. I'm pleased to meet you. My name is Buffy. I'm Lily's long lost sister incase you didn't get that part." Severus was surprised that Buffy was being so kind to him. No one was nice to him. Ever.
"Your a good dancer." She told him and he gave her one of his first real smiles.
The two talked for a long while, and when the dance ended, he lead Buffy back to her table. It was only then that she realized that Sirius was sending them death glares. She gave him an icy glare and he had the graciousness to look guilty and then to look away.
"Thank you for dancing with me Buffy." He said sincerely. She smiled politely up at him.
"It was my pleasure. I was pleased to meet you Severus. Remember, don't be afraid to do what you feel is right."
"I'll do my best." He muttered and she gave him a broad smile.
"Good, and ask her out for crying out loud." She commanded and he winked before retreating into the crowd.
Buffy sat down for a little while and was pondering all the problems that she had left at home and all the problems that she had inadvertently walked into here at Lily's school. Of course not all of the issues were problems. She had a feeling that she would enjoy the talk she knew that she and James would be having the next day. She smirked when she thought about it.
Looking up she noticed that Sirius was looking at her intently. "What?" She asked. He blushed with the knowledge that he had been caught staring at her.
"You have changed." He announced.
Her eye's widened. "What makes you say that? I mean, I grew a bit, but you grew a lot...and I have blonde hair now silly." She smiled lapsing back into her childhood vocabulary.
"I can see it in your eyes." He replied simply.
"It would seem that I am not the only one that can see problems with people through their eyes." She said not trying to hide her 'gift' as Lily had always called it.
"No I can just tell that you are different."
"In what way?" She stood and went to sit by him.
"I'm not sure. You act carefree, your attitude is carefree, but your not."
"If you say so."
"What has happened?"
"Well," she decided that someone would find out about her problem back in America. "I'm in a little bit of trouble back home. Not really a little actually. It's kind of a lot."
"What's happened? Can I help?"
"No you can't help, and there really isn't much reason in dredging up the whole awful mess again. What's done is done and I'll face the consequences when I get back."
"Buffy..."
"Sirius? Please don't ask me to tell you."
"Buffy, you should tell someone. Even if it's not me. If something really bad has happened to you..."
"No, no, no. It's nothing like that. I did something really bad. Not that there was any choice or anything." She looked Sirius in the eyes. Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"You have to promise that you will never tell anyone. Not the Marauders and definitely not Lily."
He looked at her apprehensively. "Alright then..."
She leaned forward and whispered to him. "I found out that I am the Vampire Slayer."
"WHAT?"
"Shh!" She hushed him seeing that several people turned to look their way.
"I sorry but that is...I mean...woah!"
"Tell me about it. I'm assuming that you know what that is?"
"Yeah, we did a section of out Defense Against the Dark Arts course on Vampires and the Slayer this year. Sure the information that we were given was a little sketchy but I understand the basics."
"Well then you will understand why I have decided to quit."
"How. It is your destiny."
"Don't you start! I've already caused enough problems with this thing."
"What do you mean?"
"Well...I got expelled."
"How on earth did you manage that?"
Buffy looked down at her hands. "I burnt down the gym at the school I went to."
"YOU DID WHAT?!" He demanded jumping to his feet. People were defiantly interested in the conversation that they were having now and James and Lily looked over at them. Buffy shot them a re-assuring glance and turned to Sirius.
"Please. Not here. You can yell at me all you want when we are alone, but I couldn't bare it if Lily found out what's happened." She told him, almost on the point of tears.
"Oh, Lady Bug. I didn't mean for you to be upset. I'm sure you had a really good reason for doing what you did."
"Yeah I did." She said firmly. "It was full of Vampires. The only problem is that people don't believe me when I say that, because when you kill Vamps, they turn to dust and there is no proof that they existed or not."
"Bummer." He said.
"But, I'm here for you guys now. No more sniffing Buffy. I will be happy and cheerful no matter what." She said, replacing the look of misery on her face with one of laughter. A new song started playing. "Now mister Black. I demand my dance."
"Certainly Madame." He bowed and then swung her out onto the dance floor. They were doing a formal dance, but slowly, all four of the Marauders lined up in a row, and She and Lily were passed along the line. Buffy and her sister were laughing at the boy's antics as they each claimed a dance with them. Soon some of the other teachers were in on the act and they all had a turn at spinning the girls around.
The night was a blast, and it was early morning before Lily kissed James goodnight and dragged Buffy off to her room so that they could talk.
Buffy told her sister everything about her life...everything that she had written but it was different to say these things than to read them. The only thing that she omitted was the whole Slayer gig and the chaos that it had caused.
Finally they fell asleep.
