Oh yea, don't worry, I planned Pansy's punishment. I didn't forget that. And Hermione will prove later on that he is one. Thanks for the review!

"You can wake up anytime now, Dawnie" Buffy said to her sister. She was right by her bedside again. Xander and Anya just walked in again carrying eight cups of coffee so they could stay with her a little longer. Including Xander and Anya, Giles, Buffy, Sirius, Willow, Tara, and Spike stayed there all day except for meal times.
The bruises from the curse were fading away, but were still slightly visible. Tiny cuts were on her forehead from the vase cracking over her skull. "Everyone out, she needs peace and quiet. You need rest" Madam Pomfrey came out.
"We're not leaving" Spike replied.
"You can come back tomorrow after breakfast." Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny just walked in.
"Is she up yet?" Ginny asked timidly. She hadn't known Dawn that well, but since her brother and his two best friends had, she was obviously a good person and nice. Ginny wanted to meet her. She's seen her around a lot though and just smiled at her, but never talked to her.
"No" Buffy replied gently with a smile.
"Everyone can come back tomorrow morning" Madam Pomfrey demanded. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny knew better than to stay when Madam Pomfrey got in that mood so they bid goodbye to the Scooby Gang and walked out the door. She nodded approvingly and turned her attention to the others with her eyebrows raised.
"I'm not leaving" Buffy said.
"Miss Summers is not the only one in the hospital and the others in here who are coherent are being disturbed by you!"
"Yea, Buffy. She's right. We don't need to disturb anyone else" Willow said. She kissed Dawn goodbye and looked at Tara.
"Sorry" Tara murmured. She shyly walked up and gave Dawn a kiss on her forehead then followed Willow, her lover, out of the room. Sirius looked down at his daughter and slightly kissed her then got up and left.
"Buffy come on. We go through this every night" Xander said.
"I'm not leaving!" Buffy shouted.
"I am" he said.
"I'm with him. If I don't go we probably won't have sex tonight" Anya said. She quickly hurried out of the room. Spike rolled his eyes and put his face in his hands while Madam Pomfrey blushed a bit.
Buffy looked at Spike. "We can come back in the morning, Buffy" he said. She raised an eyebrow at him and he shut up, patted Dawn's shoulder and left. Madam Pomfrey looked at Giles who was behind the Slayer. He took out his wand and gave it a swish. Buffy's head lolled to one side and Giles caught her before she fell over, making a bigger disturbance.
He lifted her into his arms and walked out. "Thank you" Madam Pomfrey whispered. She went straight to the door and locked it.

It was around midnight, and the door creaked open. Draco tiptoed into the hospital room, after unlocking the door, and quietly went over beside Dawn. The blonde Spike-look-a-like took her hand into his and kissed it gently. A groan came from her lips.
"Summers?" he whispered.
"What? What's going on?" she asked.
"Shh" he said.
"Where am I?" she whispered back.
"Hospital wing."
"What happened?
"I don't know. No one does. Spike said he saw a plant crash on your head from Parkinson." She looked around for a bit.
"Oh yea, I remember now. We got in a duel."
"You need to tell them tomorrow." He looked up and saw a light from the back turn on. "Shh" he said as he climbed under the bed.
"Who's there?" Madam Pomfrey came out with her wand light on and ready to put a spell on someone. Dawn quickly closed her eyes so no one would fuss this late at night. "Hmm." The Medi-witch went back into the room and shut the light off.
Dawn opened her eyes about the same time Draco creeped out from under the bed. "I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay" she said. He turned around and looked like he forgot something. He quickly turned back and rushed to Dawn and met her lips with his for a few moments. They finally broke apart and he left. She smiled to herself.

"Buffy, you can't keep doing this" Giles said.
"Doing what?" she asked as she punched the dummy provided for her in her own little training/work out area.
"Keep fighting with Madam Pomfrey."
"I do not fight with Madam Pomfrey" she said. He glared at her. "Okay, so what if I do? Dawn's my sister and I have to protect her. If I don't who will?"
"Sirius" he simply answered. She looked defeated. "Buffy, I-"
"I know" she cut him off, looking at her feet. "It's just, he hasn't been around. No matter how nice he is and how he's her father, I can't stop that. I feel unwanted."
"There is no way you're unwanted. You're the Slayer and protect the world. You're my Slayer, Willow's, Xander's, Tara's, and Anya's best friend. Spike is in love with you. Angel is still in love with you somewhere in the bottom of his heart. And Dawn loves you too, because you're her sister" he answered.
She smiled a little and wiped some unshed tears from her eyes. "I know" she said. "It's not the same. Everything's changed" she muttered.
"My sister's a witch and a key that goes to a Wizarding school, you teach at a Wizarding school, Tara and Willow have become lovers, Xander is gonna marry a former demon, a vamp with a chip in his head is in love with me, and Sirius offered to be my father."
"Buffy, that's wonderful. You can have a father figure now."
"I've always thought of you as my father figure."
"I know. But, he's closer to you by some bond with being your sister's father."
"I guess."
"When are you visiting Dawn?" he changed the subject.
"In a little."
~*~
"Dawnie!" Willow yelled. Tara followed behind her looking very much gleeful.
"Hey Will, Tara" Dawn replied, still a little groggy.
"How are you, sweetie?" Tara asked.
"I'm okay. Just a little sore."
"You should be getting better by now" Willow said as she touched her arm in a bigger sister affectionate way. Dawn winced.
"Dawn?" Tara noticed it too. Willow took her hand back quickly and said sorry over and over not knowing what it was.
"What happened?" Willow asked as she revealed a large bruise mark on her elbow joint where she touched her.
"Parkinson."
"What did she do?" Tara looked as concerned as Willow did.
"The Crusatious Curse" she replied.
