Notes: Sorry about the lack of updates. I have had major computer problems. I couldn't access the Internet for a few days. My story doesn't follow the storyline of the Order of the Phoenix. Sirius Black didn't die. Peter Pettigrew was caught and he confessed that he killed the 13 people. Sirius was cleared. Even though Angel didn't take over Wolfram and Heart, Angel Investigations has the resources of Wolfram and Heart.
Now on with the story………
Willow headed back to the tower. Everyone was still asleep when she arrived. Willow woke Dawn up first. Dawn and Willow tag teamed to wake Buffy up. They knew from experience that they would have trouble-waking Buffy up. Buffy woke as Dawn and Willow started to tickle her. Faith was woken up by the noise coming from Buffy's bed. Faith got up and headed for the showers. A short time later, Buffy and Dawn went to take showers.
Willow went to wake Xander up. She knew all the sneaky ways to wake him up from the times that they had stayed over at each other's houses when they were younger. Xander got up and went to get ready for the day. Willow went down to the common room to wait for everyone. About a half an hour later, Xander came into the common room closely followed by Buffy, Dawn, and Faith.
"We have a lot of things to do today. I want to work on my class overview today." Willow said excitedly. "Professor Dumbeldore wants us to in the dinning hall for breakfast to meet the other teachers. So let's get going. I noticed that the stairs were moving above us when we arrived and we might have to figure out how to get to there."
Willow headed for the door. Dawn, Buffy, Xander, and Faith followed her. They were lucky that the stairs hadn't changed since the previous night. They made it to the dinning hall in a few minutes and they had only taken one wrong turn.
"Good Morning." Professor Dumbeldore said as they enter the hall. They headed for the head table and sat down at the empty seats.
"Willow, this is Remus Lupin. He will be working with you in teaching DAD classes." Dumbeldore said as he introduced Remus. "Buffy, this is Sirius Black. Will be assisting you in self-defense class. He will be teaching wand dueling while you will be teaching wand less defense. Remus and Sirius, the red head is Willow Rosenberg. The blonde is Buffy Summers. The young brunette is Buffy's sister Dawn. The older brunette is Faith. The gentleman is Xander Harris. Faith and Xander will be assisting in both classes. "
Sirius and Remus greeted them and then sat back down in their seats. Buffy, Willow, Xander, Dawn, and Faith start to eat their breakfast. Faith noticed that Buffy was staring at Sirius. She had a feeling that Buffy was attracted to Sirius. Faith thought that it was great because B deserved to have a guy that would love her and could go out during the day. She also felt her slayer sense go off when Remus Lupin was around. Buffy was to distracted by Sirius to notice.
"Xander, Madame Pomfrey would like you to come to the medical wing. She thinks that she may have a way to help you with your missing eye." Professor Dumbeldore told Xander. Xander agreed to go and told Buffy, Faith, Dawn, and Willow that he would meet them in the common room later. Then he followed Madame Pomfrey to the medical wing.
Buffy, Willow, and Faith invite Remus and Sirius back up to their common room. So the five of them head up to the common room. As they head to the tower, they pass the younger Slayers on their way to breakfast. Buffy noticed that Willow hadn't looked for Kennedy. Willow had taken the break up better than she had ever had before. Buffy knew that Willow was stronger emotional since she got back to Sunnydale after her rehab in England.
Dawn reached the doorway first. She went inside and opened it when everyone else arrived. They all took seat on the couches and chairs by the fire.
"Remus, what are you? I know that you're not totally human." Faith asked him.
"I am a werewolf. How do you know about that?" Remus asked.
"Well. Buffy and I are Slayers. The rest of the girls with us other than Dawn and Willow are Slayers. B is the original but I am the next." Faith told them. Remus and Sirius were surprised by this news.
"How? I thought that there was only one Slayer in each generation." Sirius asked.
"We were fighting the first evil. Willow activated all the potential Slayers around the world with the scythe. It is a mystical weapon that was created at the time of the first Slayer. Only a Slayer can handle it. By activating the Slayers, we defeated the first evil. And collapsed the hell mouth under Sunnydale." Dawn told Remus and Sirius. "We managed to get out on a school bus. Our friends in Los Angeles put us up in the hotel that they own. That was where Buffy and Willow got the letter from Dumbeldore. Then we all came here after a stop at Diagon Alley for some shopping."
Remus and Sirius sat there looking stunned they knew that the hell mouth had been permanently closed in Sunnydale. They didn't know how but they were glad. It was one way of keeping the balance for the side of good. Once less source of evil energy for Voldemort to tap.
"Willow, you activate all of the potential Slayers?" Remus asked.
"Yes, Remus, I did. I am a very powerful Wicca witch. I had a brush with the dark side and had to be dosed with good magic. Xander was the one to stop me but Giles brought the good magic from a coven here in England." Willow told them. "Ever since then, I have been more powerful than ever. Professor Dumbeldore told me that he would help me control my powers."
"That's a good idea. I understand what you have gone through but from a different point of view." Sirius told Willow. "I was sent to wizard prison for something Pettigrew did. I was there for 12 years before I could escape. It was like hell."
Buffy knew that the haunted look that Sirius had was the same as Angel had when he returned from hell. She knew that he had a lot to deal with but she was still attracted to him. Buffy knew that she could help him but she wanted to take it slow.
"Well, we better get started on the planning for class. Dawn will be assisting us, Remus. She has fought the same battles as us for several years and can help. Sirius, why don't you, Buffy, and Faith go set up the training room. Dumbeldore said that it is near the green houses." Willow said with a smile.
Everyone agreed and headed off to their classrooms. The morning passed quickly as everyone worked on planning his or her classes. Dawn was really enjoying her new job. She felt very useful and was an active part of the planning. Dawn was going to sub for Remus during the full moon. Willow was enjoying learning the curses and hexes of DAD. She knew that this was the perfect job for her and was looking forward to having the students come. Willow had help Dawn get her GED before they came to Hogwarts. Dawn wanted to have her schooling done so that she could help out. Willow had helped her study and Dawn had passed with flying colors.
Buffy and Faith had Sirius magically set up the training room. Sirius was surprised by what Buffy and Faith had brought with them. A trunk of weapons had been waiting for them to unpack. Sirius had magically attached to the weapons to the wall and charmed them that only Buffy or Faith could take them down. He set up the dueling runway near the windows. Buffy and Faith were sparing together. Sirius was amazed at how easily they fought each other. The two Slayers were poetry in motion.
Soon it was time for lunch. Sirius almost got hit when he went to tell Buffy and Faith that it was lunchtime. Buffy apologized and they headed for the dinning hall. Willow, Dawn, and Remus met them outside the door. They went in and started to eat.
"Willow, Buffy, Dawn, and Faith!!!" Xander exclaimed as he entered the hall.
Dawn was the first one to see that he had two eyes again. Willow and Buffy started to cry. Faith just got a big smile on her face.
"Madame Pomfrey was able to use magic to make eye normal again. No more bumping into things and no more blind side." Xander said with a huge smile on his face.
"Congrats, Xander!" Faith said with a huge smile on her face. Xander just grabbed her and hugged her. They may have had differences but that had all changed recently.
Willow, Dawn, and Buffy just hugged Xander. They all sat at the table laughing and talking. Life had taken a turn for the better since the battle with the first. Maybe life would just keep getting better.
