Notes: Information on Wizard coins comes from the Sorcerer's Stone
Charlie led everyone off the bus and into the Leaky Cauldron. Tom, the barkeeper, came over and handed Charlie twenty-two room keys. They headed for the stairs. Charlie stopped everyone before they got to the stairs.
"Six of you have to double up. I only have 22 room keys," Charlie told them with a smile.
"I'll bunk with Buffy." Dawn said with her usual perkiness. Charlie handed Buffy a room key. Buffy sighed and headed for the room with her little sister on her heels.
"Willow and I will share." Kennedy said with a big smile on her face as she put her arm around here girlfriend. Willow took the key and they headed up the stairs hand in hand.
"I'll room with the pain in the butt." Xander said pointing at Andrew. The two men headed up the stairs. Charlie handed out the rest of the keys and the Slayers went to their rooms. The luggage had been magically sent to the right rooms. Charlie then used the floo network to go home.
Later that day, the Scoobies met down stairs to eat. Buffy and Willow were waiting for Professor Dumbeldore. Xander, Dawn, and Faith were waiting with them. They all wanted to know what was going on and why they were needed. Buffy and Willow were going to as if Faith and Xander could be their assistants in class.
A man with a long while beard and long white hair came over to them. He wore multicolored wizard's robes with a matching hat. "Ms. Rosenberg and Ms. Summers, I am Professor Albus Dumbeldore." He told them.
"Professor, a pleasure to meet you. I am Willow." The redhead said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Professor. I am Buffy." The petite blonde said with a smile. "The woman with the dark curly hair is Faith. The other brunette is my younger sister Dawn. The man with the dark hair is Xander. Andrew and the rest of the Slayers are up in their rooms sleeping. They all have had a lot of stress over the past few months and need to recharge their batteries."
"Nice to meet you all. When we are not in front of the students, please call me Albus. I know that you all have questions for me. So please ask them." Dumbeldore told them.
"Professor Dumbeldore, we were wondering if Faith and Xander could be our assistants in class? They know the subjects and would be a big help." Willow asked shyly.
"I think that could be arranged. They have helped during your struggles on the Hellmouth. So I don't see any problem in adding them to the staff." Albus told them.
"That would be great. We have a lot of cash that we brought with us. It is the rest of the money from the insurance that we got when Sunnydale was destroyed. I want to get it taken care of as soon as possible. I don't like carrying a lot of money around." Buffy said with a smile.
"We can go to Gringotts right now. Xander and Faith, I know that you probably have some money with your. I will help you set up accounts like I did for Buffy and Willow. Willow and Buffy here are your vault keys. Keep them safe. The goblins at Gringotts will exchange your money for wizard coins. The large gold one is a galleon. The sliver is a sickle. Seventeen sickles to a galleon. The bronze ones are knuts. Twenty-nine knuts to a galleon. So let us go to Gringotts." Dumbeldore said as he stood up.
Willow, Faith, Buffy, Dawn, and Xander followed him out the back door. When they were al outside, Professor Dumbeldore tapped several bricks and the way parted.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Dumbeldore told them.
