A/N Hey guys, thankyou all for the great reviews, sorry that I haven't updated for a few days, I've had my first real live University Exam...Well I'd rather not think about it right now. This chapter is still really a filler but it's an important one, I'm trying to get to a good bit, but it's taking longer that I thought. Hang in there... Oh and Dreamer Child, DB's autograph? The real thing? WICKED!!! I hope you all enjoy.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling and Buffy to Joss Wheaton...I'm just borrowing them for a little while...

Chapter TWENTY-SEVEN

They had been at the Bronze long enough Buffy decided, and they were about to leave when the person Buffy didn't want to see came in.

"What have we here?" A snobbish voice asked her and Buffy turned to come face to face with Cordelia.

"What do you want Cordy?"

"I don't believe that I gave you permission to call me that!" She announced sounding disgusted. She looked past Buffy and saw Sirius and Remus. "And who might you be?" She asked her voice turning sickly sweet and she pushed passed the blonde and grabbed Sirius' arm while sizing Remus up.

"Cordelia Chase, meet Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. They are visiting from England." She told the girl. "Guy's if you ever wanted to know what I was like in LA just take a look here and times it by about five."

"Good God." Remus said, sounding so much like Giles Buffy had to stifle a laugh and Cordelia immediately backed off.

"They aren't like miniature Giles' are they?" She asked Buffy worriedly.

"Worse." She said straight-faced.

"Buffy I always knew that you were weird." She announced and, spotting another guy she wandered away.

"Not even a good bye." Sirius muttered sounding put out.

"Not even." Buffy agreed her attention elsewhere. Sirius and Remus turned to look where her attention was. A tall man was sweet-talking a girl near the door.

"But Buffy, I thought you liked me!" Sirius cried mock injured holding his hands at his chest as though he had just been stabbed.

"Not exactly your type I hope." Remus grinned.

"Not if you think that I would fall in love with the un-dead variety." She replied casually. Both boys' heads whipped around for a better look at the offender. "Back in a minute, then we'll head home." She slunk away from the table and into the shadows in seconds.

It was cold outside and there was a slight breeze. Buffy found the vamp trying to get a snack out the back. "Don't you guys ever learn?"

"Learn what?"

"That I will always stake you when you steal from under my nose."

"Huh?"

"God I hate it when my punch lines flop." She complained and flipped forward knocking the vamp away from the girl who was quick to run back inside the Bronze.

The fight was quite quick and the two boys just stepped out of the club as she pushed the stake into the vamp. He dissolved into a pile of dust at her feet and she shrugged at the boys before pocketing her stake. "Ready to go home?"

"Sure." This time they each took one of her arms and she was quite thrilled as they walked the dark streets.

She unlocked the front door and checked her watch in the light. It was only ten and her mother wouldn't be asleep. She was in fact sitting in the living room waiting for them.

"Buffy?"

"Hey mom. Sorry we were late. I ran into Cordelia and you know how she has to be introduced to everyone."

"No problem. Can I meet your friends now?"

"Sure." She led the boys into the living room and dutifully introduced the boys to her mother. They smiled widely, they all sat for a half an hour and talked about how they had met Buffy and when they had though that she was six and she was eleven. That made her laugh. They talked about Lily and James and the way James had proposed which reduced Joyce to tears at how pretty it was. Basically, they charmed the socks off Buffy's mom and showed her that they were perfect English gentlemen.

When Buffy yawned, her mother quickly sent them up to bed. When in the privacy of the Boy's rooms, Buffy turned to her friends, no longer as tired as she had pretended to be. "Will you guys be alright?"

"Where are you going?"

"Patrol. I'm always off at this time."

"But it's not safe..."

"Of course it's not, I'll be armed to the hilt though."

"Will you come and see before you leave?" Remus asked cautiously.

"Of course."

"I'd much prefer if you weren't going at all." Sirius grumbled.

"Come on Sirius, you know I have to. It's a Friday night; the town will be packed with all things evil. How about we compromise?"

"What did you have in mind?" He immediately became suspicious.

"You let me patrol and I'll take you to meet my watcher tomorrow morning."

"Neat." Remus chimed in before Sirius could complain again. "I'm in."

"Great...now let me get changed." She disappeared from the room before they had a chance complain any more.

Sirius and Remus tested their new beds cautiously their faces wrinkled as they felt the lack of comfort the folding bed's offered.

"Well, I could always go and share with Buffy." Sirius said slyly causing Remus to start.

"You...you...what the...I'll tell Lily on you." He finally settled on, his face becoming as read as a tomato. Sirius couldn't tell if her was angry or embarrassed.

"No need to do that Remus." He knew full well if Lily found out he would spend the rest of his life cursed into oblivion.

"Look, we can make the beds better."

"And how do you propose we do that?" Sirius asked sarcastically. Remus brandished his wand. "I knew that."

Transfiguring both beds into four posters, they quickly changed into pyjamas and waited for Buffy to return. They didn't wait long, as she knocked and entered not a minute later. "I see that you took make your selves at home to heart." She said with a grin taking in the new room decorations. They both shrugged, their eyes of Buffy's new outfit.

"You Slay in that?" Remus finally asked.

"You like?" Giving spin to show off her tight fitting pants, blood red halter neck top and the long trench coat style black leather jacket. Her healed boots finished the outfit, with her hair pulled back tight.

"Sure, but what happened to armed to the hilt?" She opened the front of her jacket and they saw she was wearing a sword, and numerous stakes were tucked into pouches inside the jacket.

"So you armed."

"Yup. See you guys in the morning."

She slunk out of their bedroom and back to her own. The minute she had left, Sirius quickly dressed again.

"What do you think you're doing?" Remus hissed.

"I'm following her."

"Don't be stupid!"

"I have my wand. I'm not letting her get into trouble."

"Sirius, she'll catch you."

"Not if I'm careful."

Shaking his head, Remus watched as Sirius crept out of the window and dropped to the ground and following Buffy down the street, after she too dropped from the window.

Sighing, he knew that he'd never sleep now, so he settled in with a book, waiting for their return.
