Chapter 17: The Bloody Baron's Warning
"Buffy, Angel I'm glad you were able to make it and by the look of it you were able to bring alot of backup." Between the both of them Xander noticed there had to be about 150 people.
" Well you said it was urgent so we weren't inclined to mess around." Angel looked around the castle, he never saw anything in his life as well guarded as this place.
" Well I suggest everyone split up and take a deserted corridor. Except this group. According to Dumbledore there are hidden passages everywhere. Here's a map, you can divide the passages amongst yourself. To all of you don't be afraid to kill if you have to, this guy is extremely dangerous and heavily armed." Xander then lead Angel and Buffy towards the Great Hall. " I suggest you two guard this perimeter, it's the most used so if anyone wants to get around chances are you'll be the first to see them."
" We'll do that. I was wondering how Connor is, I've missed him and wanted to see him before I go anywhere." Angel looked down the corridor and in the Great Hall. It looked like most of the students were in classes right now.
" I'll have someone bring Connor right up unless you wanna go and see him." Xander said with a smile, he loved when Angel and Connor got along it strangely reminded him of Zoe and himself.
" I'll go I just need the password to get into the room." Angel turned to Xander. Xander pulled him close and whispered it in his hear, so if anyone was trying to over hear them they wouldnt' be able to figure it out. Once Xander backed up Angel turned and went down the steps that lead to the dungeons.
Once Angel reached the Slytherin portrait he looked around to make sure that no one was there. Though he already knew that no one had followed him or was lurking in the shadows because he couldn't smell anyone there. "Wolfsbane!" Angel whispered to the portrait.
"Sorry I'm under direct orders from Albus Dumbledore not to let anyone in whom is not a Hogwarts teacher, student, Slayer, or whom works for the Watchers Council." The portrait sneered at Angel.
" I work with the Slayers." Angel retorted all he wanted to do was see his son.
" Do you have any proof of that?" The portrait yelled.
" Well, no not on me. Come on I just wanna see my son." Angel started to yell.
" It's ok Marcy, Mr. Angel here can go into the common room to see his son Connor. He works with Angel Investigations their helping protect the school at this time." Dumbledore popped out of no where.
" Thanks Professor." Angel said turning around to face Dumbeldore
" Your welcome, and please call me Albus." With that Dumbledore disappeared.
" Well are you going through or not?"
" Yeah, sorry." Angel walked through the portrait hole." Has anyone seen Connor Angel?" He asked a group of student sitting on the couch. Angel remembered them from the presentation. The blonde haried boy on the left was Draco Malfoy, his cronies Crabbe and Goyle were sitting across from him. On the floor was a boy he'd never seen before.
" Why should we tell you? You're probably going to harm him." Malfoy sneered. Everyone sitting around him started to laugh.
" First off I'm his father so you better tell me where my son is, and second you joke like that again and you'll find yourself in a whole lot of trouble." Angel said angerly if this had been a demon Angel would of beat him to a bloody pulp.
" Connor just went up stairs he'll be down in a couple minutes. I think he went to get a book, he was sitting over there doing homework." The boy sitting on the floor pointed over to a table in the far side of the room.
" Thanks."
" No problem. By the way you being a father is pretty impossible, what happened did you go to hell and come back with your nightmare?" Blaise Zabini snickered to Angel.
" That's it when I leave your coming with me and we're going to have a night long chat with Dumbledore!" Angel then stalked over to the table and sat down with in minutes Connor came down from the boys dormitories.
" Dad what are you doing here?" Connor asked suprised pulling his dad into a hug.
" I got a message from Xander saying that Hogwarts needed back up security due to some dark lord breaking in. How have you been? Do you wanna go for a walk?" Angel looked over Connor's homework and started to laugh.
" What's so funny?" Connor was looking at his homework over Angels shoulder wondering if Angel noticed something wrong with it.
" Nothing. I just thought it was hilarious that your studying vampires. You better get good grades in this subject. Has Spike volunteered to show off to the class yet?" Angel looked up at Connor.
" Actually the vampires we're learning about are different from Spike and yourself. However Spike is going to be a guest teacher tomorrow if you would like to sit in." Connor got up and started to walk towards the portrait with Angel.
"Wait before we go I hope you don't mind but I have to drop off that kid over there to Dumbledore." Angel pointed to Blaise.
" Blaise Zabini is constantly in Dumbledore's office sending him there won't fase him much." Connor turned to look at the group of boys he always hated them, but could never figure out why.
" Well it's worth a shot. Mr. Zabini if you would follow us NOW!" Angel yelled the last word as loud as he could. Blaise got up and followed the group up to Dumbledore's office.
"Angel what brings you to my office?" Dumbledore asked from behind his desk.
" Just thought I would drop Mr. Zabini off he doesn't seem to know any better than to tick people off." Angel said taking a seat by Connor and Blaise.
" Ah, yes Mr. Zabini does seem to be a handful at times. What did he do now ?" Dumbledore looked at Blaise while saying this.
" All I did was insult the man! What is it a crime now to insult a guy? Cause if so I think Malfoy should be sent to Azkaban!" Blaise said trying to keep his temper under control.
" Well now Mr. Zabini it must of been pretty bad if you upset Angel, it takes more than just mere insults to upset a vampire like that." Blaise looked at Dumbledore with hatred in his eyes. " I think that detention with Angel will be fair enough punishment. You can tell Draco that also seeming that he was probably involved ." With that Dumbledore excused the guests. Blaise was taken back to the common room by the Bloody Baron.
" You should know better than to get Angel mad Mr. Zabini." The Bloody Baron said while walking down the corridor. " He's a dangerous one you know."
" What do you mean dangerous? He's got a soul how dangerous can he be?" Blaise rolled his eyes.
" More dangerous than you know! He's more than what meets the eye." By the time the Bloody Baron and Blaise's conversation ended they were at the portrait. Blaise entered and turned to Draco.
" Guess what the Bloody Baron told me!" Blaise hit Draco on the shoulder.
" What now?" Draco knew that the Baron loved to make up stories.
" He told me that Angel was more dangerous than we know. That he's more than what meets the eye. Have any clue what that means princess?" Blaise said while rubbing Draco's arm.
Blaise and Draco had a very weird relationship that had rumors flying around Hogwarts every other week. They were nothing more than just best friends however their actions lead other people to believe there was something more going on.
" Will you stop that Zabini! I'm not your girlfriend! Though I have no idea what that means but it's a very intresting little piece of information." Draco hit Blaises hand off of him.
" Your not my girlfriend yet Malfoy, but one day you'll come around." Blaise noticed a fourth year student staring at him and winked.
" You've got to get over yourself. I think you've pretty much banged every girl in Slytherin and most of them in Ravenclaw." Draco said once he noticed Blaise flirting with the girl.
" Yes, however I always have room for a quickie Malfoy whenever your ready."
By this time Tracy Davis came and sat with their group. " You know we have Defense Against the Dark Arts soon right?"
" Yes Davis we know, now would you be so kind as to bugger off!" Draco said getting up and walking to the portrait. The door opened at once and Connor came in followed by the Bloody Baron.
"Anyone going to Defense Against the Dark Arts follow me!" With that the 6th year Slytherins went through the portrait door.
"Buffy, Angel I'm glad you were able to make it and by the look of it you were able to bring alot of backup." Between the both of them Xander noticed there had to be about 150 people.
