Ecstasy
Summary: People from Buffy all go to Hogwarts to help the trio (and others) fight of Voldemort! You just have to pretend that Tara hasn't died yet and things are calm now at the Hellmouth so they can come to Hogwarts.
A/N: The only seasons I've completely seen all of are the first, fifth, sixth, and seventh and I've seen up to where Angel loses his soul in the second season but that's all so please excuse me for any mistakes I make. Just email me or review about the mistake and I'll try my best to change them. The Buffy characters that are in it (so that you'll have a better understanding of when in the Buffy story this takes place) are Buffy (duh), Willow, Tara, Spike (he is good), Giles, Xander, Dawn, and Anya (nothing depressing happened btw. Xander and Anya). And there might be some cameos (or more than that...) by Jonathan or Andrew (but no Warren b/c he's an asshole) and possibly a wee chance of Faith but I don't really know her character that well.
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy or Harry Potter. Buffy belongs to Joss Whedon and HP belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Chapter Two"We have a very special announcement to make," Dumbledore's voice boomed around the Dining Hall.
I didn't give a shit. Special announcement? Who cares! I put my head on the table and listened to my stomach growling. Can't they just serve the freaking food already? I thought angrily.
"Harry, listen to Dumbledore!" Hermione whispered, jabbing me in the arm with her finger. "Get your head off the table!"
I groaned and slowly sat up. This was too difficult at the early hours of the morning.
"We will have some visitors arriving at Hogwarts," Dumbledore continued. "They are coming because of the recent issues with Voldemort. These people who shall be arriving tomorrow morning and almost all of them are from the US except for two, I believe. They are older than all of you but shall be sorted into dorms so they have a place to sleep and to get to know the students better. One of them is a witch and the others are various creatures including humans. They will tell you more about themselves once they arrive. Please treat them with the respect you would treat any teacher or guest at Hogwarts. They are extremely nice people and are here for the purpose of your protection. Thank you. Now, let's eat!"
Instantly a volcano of chatter erupted in the center of the room and the lava oozed out into every little crack so that everyone was talking avidly.
"New students! How wonderful!" Hermione exclaimed, serving herself some scrambled eggs.
"I bet you all a trillion galleons that at least one of them will be in Gryffindor," Ron said, his mouth full of bacon. "One of them is always in Gryffindor." A chunk of bacon flew out of his mouth and landed on Hermione's chin.
She flicked it off disgustedly and said, "You are repulsive, Ron. Chew with that gigantic mouth of yours CLOSED."
Meanwhile, I sat there minding my own business and ignoring their conversation while I piled gallons of food onto my plate. But even I couldn't help wondering in the back of my mind who and what these people- or creatures- were. Dumbledore had said that the others were "various creatures". What would that mean? Were some of them werewolves or ghosts or even things that might not take on human form like dragons or basilisks or something?!
Calm down, Harry, I told myself, taking a deep breath in between large bites of food. They're from the US and I've never heard of any strange creatures coming from the US. Well, besides Michael Jackson.
But that's beside the point. Maybe Dumbledore had an inside joke with them, or something, and they were really just weird people, not actual creatures.
Yeah, that had to be it.

I stood impatiently at the baggage claim, waiting for my bag or at least one that belonged to someone I knew to roll slowly through the carousel. But nothing came. I bounced on the balls of my feet.
Xander and Anya were waiting just as impatiently on the other side of the carousel. The others were looking at the other baggage claims since we weren't finding our bags to make sure that we were at the right one. Xander's arms were folded across his chest and he looked annoyed. Anya stood next to him babbling on about bunnies and staring at a little girl who was holding one in a cage with her.
I was trying really hard not to laugh. But sometimes, with Anya, you just couldn't hold it back. So I laughed. And pretty loudly at that. I got a few weird looks.
So I moved onto other things. I was actually excited about going to a wizarding school. I would be with people of my own kind! But Giles had said something about wands. Did they honestly use wands to control their magic? That was absurd. It just sounded so typical.. So boring. I had to promise Giles I wouldn't comment rudely about it, though.
"Well, it looks as though this is the right one," someone suddenly said from right around my left shoulder.
I snapped my head around and hurt it. I was never really quite sure about what it was called when you spun your head around quickly and it got all hot and painful. All I was sure of was that it hurt.
Anyway, Giles was standing next to me with Buffy, Dawn, Tara, and Spike behind him.
"It is bloody bright outside, how the hell am I going to get to this place, anyway?" Spike complained irritably. He had been complaining ever since he heard that we were leaving. He was convinced that he was going to get burned by light at sometime or another during our stay at the school.
"Spike, stop complaining," Xander said, him and Anya joining us from their old position. "You're not going to get-" Xander lowered his voice, "-all dusty, or whatever, okay? And besides, it's not like anyone would mind if you did."
"Xander!" Buffy snapped.
Dawn and I laughed and I noticed a slightly wet spot on her pants. It made me laugh harder.

I was so excited that it took me four hours to get to sleep that night. I was ecstatic about getting "visitors" at Hogwarts tomorrow!
First of all, Dumbledore had said that only one of them was a witch and that the others were "other interesting creatures" which certainly said something. What if they were some sort of weird creature thing and we would have to study them in Defense Against the Dark Arts? And why would they be coming in the middle of the year like this? That definitely meant that this was a kind of spur-of-the-moment decision on behalf of Dumbledore or Cornelius Fudge or whomever decides things like this.
Anyway, my point was that I was excited and this was interesting. But I wasn't the only one. Everyone in my dorm room was whispering frantically about them.
"I hope there's a cute boy!" Parvati Patil squealed in the dark.
"I know!" Lavender Brown agreed, giggling.
"It's so exciting!" Parvati whispered back.
If only we had known what was coming our way...
