Chapter 14
A/N: Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I've been so busy, and forgot
totally about this fic, but I'm back now!
Willow stared at her girlfriend. "Are you telling me it's over?" she whispered, hot tears forming in her now normal eyes.
"I don't know" Tara looked away at the red-head and set her eyes upon the window showing the fall leaves beyond the school into the Forbidden Forest. She waved her hand so the window opened a crack and the cool breeze fell in with the sweet autumn smell.
Willow gently let go of her lover's hand and looked around her chair like she was looking for a stolen purse. She got up quickly and mumbled bye as she grabbed her bag on the way out of the infirmary and slung the bag strap over her shoulder with the actual bag bumping slightly against her butt.
"Buffy, you can't always go rushing off to fight for Dawn."
"Obviously, Spike, I have to train with her or something, not all the time can she be getting shut up by some stupid spell and get some bad curses on her. It won't happen again. And I will make sure of it. If anyone does that or anything to harm a hair on her head, I will personally deal with them."
Spike looked at the blonde vampire slayer and just shook his head. "Right now I'm worried about Willow" Buffy muttered.
"Red did go a little freaky today."
"That's major for her. Ever since Tara got shot. Something must be happening, evil must be stirring up or something for her to go all black- eyed super-witch again."
"Could be."
"You think I should mail a letter to Angel?"
"Poof? What's he know?"
"Probably a little more than we do right now."
"Alright, whatever."
"Fine, I just might."
"Fine." Spike looked at her and she just stood there with her hands on her hips. "What?" he asked.
"You always seem so jealous when I talk about Angel."
"I am not jealous of Poof."
"Angel."
"Whatever."
Dawn walked around as well as she could outside with her cloak hanging loosely on her shoulders. She spotted Sirius walking out of the castle and onto the grounds. He began to walk towards her and she smiled.
"How are you doing?" he asked her.
"I'm a little sore, but I guess I'm doing okay."
"Good. Do you need to get a healing potion?"
"No, I'm good. I don't want to take to many of those so I don't get immune."
"Are you sure? Maybe you really—"
"Dad. I'm fine. Really."
"Wow, It's hard to get over the 'dad' part." he smiled.
"Sorry."
"Don't be. It takes time."
"How's Buffy with all of this? Is she okay?"
"I really don't know. But we're all supposed to be meeting in her common room tonight. She has a theory."
"Okay."
"We might as well go now. It starts in a few minutes."
"I'm thinking that—"Buffy was cut off by a girl marching in the door to the Scooby common room.
"You're a vampire!" Hermione shouted pointing at Spike. All eyes were on her.
"Yes, we've established that already" Buffy said, annoyed with the outburst and interruption of her speaking.
"He's evil." She continued.
"Finally someone notices." Spike replied. Hermione squinted her eyes at him.
"He's not evil. He has a chip inside his head to stop him from doing anything to humans. The Initiative put it in his head." Dawn joined in.
"Oh" Hermione squeaked. "Bye" she said and spun on her heel and left.
"As you were saying, Buffy." Giles said.
"Thank you. I think something big is about to happen." she continued.
"Why? What happened?" Tara asked.
"Well, usually when we're all together and some other people are here, something big happens."
"Oh yea." Tara replied to her answered question.
"I talked to Dumbledore and he said that he was going to invite Angel and his crew to come here for a few days. I can feel something coming. And I know its really big—whatever it is."
"Great" Spike mumbled as he rolled his eyes. Buffy glared sharply at him.
"Wait a minute." Hermione said in the Gryffindor common room, as she stopped her concentration from her homework.
"What?" Harry asked.
"The chip. It shouldn't work here."
"What are you blabbering about?" Rom asked.
"I told you Spike was a vampire. I even shouted it to everyone in the common room who was from the United States."
"Are you mad?" Ron shouted.
"No! I was right too!" She almost shouted back. "Dawn said he was good because he had a chip in his head to stop him from harming humans. If I'm correct, the chip can't work."
"Why not?" Harry asked.
"The chip should be electrical and anything electrical in Hogwarts malfunctions."
"So what?"
"That means Spike could go on a killing spree." Hermione stated.
Willow stared at her girlfriend. "Are you telling me it's over?" she whispered, hot tears forming in her now normal eyes.
