Yay, I am back. I must say that this is the very first part fixed by my Beta Jessica. I hope you will like it(. And about jslover question. No, Dawn doesn't have a scar, because Voldemort was "killed" by Harry before he could reach her. Ask more if something isn't clear, I will gladly answer everything if that won't be explained in the story later. By the way, you can vote for Harry's pairings, it can be with anyone, even slash, I don't mind, it's really up to you. You have no idea how much do I love your reviews. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you all. Oh, if I haven't mentioned before this story will have some things from ootp.

" Spike?" Dawn couldn't believe her eyes. Buffy said he was dead, she knew he was dead. But here he was standing in front of her, looking at her with his blue eyes clouded with confusion.

" Bit." He came closer to her, slowly touching her hand.

" It's you." Dawn murmured, and she couldn't help but smiling when his hand touched her cheek.

" I thought I would never see you again." Dawn whispered with tears in her eyes. She really missed him. It was so good to see someone close, someone who knew who she was.

" But how.?"

" I don't know."

Harry on the other hand just stared in shock. He couldn't believe this. Who was this strange man hugging his crying sister?

" Listen." Harry tried to touch the man's shoulder but his hand just went through. But what happened next shocked Harry the most. The man's face morphed into something that looked like a demon from hell, when he noticed what the boy was doing.

" He's a.a. vampire!" Ron's scream filled the Great Hall. In less than 10 seconds all the students were out of their tables and huddled in a big blob on one side of the great hall, despite the teachers protest to stay calm. Soon there was just Spike, Dawn, and Harry standing on one side of the hall and all the students on the other.

Spike looked around in confusion. " Where are we pet? This doesn't look like LA."

" Well, it's kind of hard to explain," Dawn smiled nervously. She still couldn't believe he was here. Dawn hugged Spike once again, overjoyed that there was someone familiar with her.

" Miss Potter, please walk away from him. Slowly." Dawn looked and saw Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape pointing their wands at Spike.

" No."

" Dawn." Harry looked at her with pleading eyes already with his wand in his hand. " Please, do as they say. It's not a good time for being stuborn. He can hurt you."

" NO, I won't let you hurt him!" Dawn yelled back.

" I really doubt they can hurt me. See." Spike stuck his hand through the table. " I think I am a ghost."

" But I can touch you. Why can I touch you?"

" I dunno, Bit," Spike gave her a small smile.

" Miss Potter, do you know this man?" Dumbledore asked in his kind voice, and even under his glasses you could see the twinkle in his eye.

" Of course she doesn't professor. There is no way."

" Actually Harry I do."

" And she does very well." Spike put his arm around her waist, and looked up to see black eyes looking at him with hatred. * Well that is interesting. The old git has feelings for Bit*

Harry looked as if he was going to faint. His sister, his only sister was being hugged, rather intimately, by a vampire. And she seemed rather comfrotable with him, as if they were old friends. First cutting, now this. what else was his sister keeping from him.

" So he is your friend then." Dumbledore smiled. " Well that explains something. But why is he here?"

" That's what I would like to know." Spike said. still not letting go of Dawn.
