Chapter 4
The next day, Buffy and Spike went immediately and complained to Giles.
"This is so hard," Buffy moaned.
"I don't know anything I'm talking about," Spike said bluntly.
"And the students hate me!" she cried.
"Calm down," Giles ordered. "Buffy, you've done this before. Why is it so hard for you?"
"I have not done this before," Buffy said. "That was different! Kids just spilled their innermost thoughts to me and I gave them some feedback. I wasn't actually teaching anything."
"I don't know why you two are getting so worked up about this," Giles said pitifully. "Just take a deep breath and plan out your classes thoroughly before you begin them. Now, if you'll excuse me I have some work to do."
Buffy whimpered and trudged out of the library, Spike at her heels.
Meanwhile, Giles was on the phone which Dumbledore had had put in for him A/N: Just let it work!. "Can you come immediately? Yes, it is very important," he was saying. "Thank you."

"I thought we could start off today's class with any questions anyone has about anything we learned yesterday?" Buffy said nervously at the beginning of her class that day.
Hermione raised her hand tentatively.
"Yes," Buffy said, excited that someone was paying attention and wanted to know something else.
"You mentioned something about a "Master" yesterday? I was wondering what that was," Hermione said.
"Ah, the Master," Buffy replied. "The Master is like the head of all vampires, I guess. He needed to suck a bunch of people's blood to get out of his little cave place that he lived in. So he did, and then I killed him. He had this ability to withstand certain things that usually drive a vampire off, like crosses. So it was a more difficult task to kill him, but we got the job done."
Hermione nodded as Neville's hand raised up.
"Yes?" Buffy said, nodding toward him.
"Um, you said something about a bunch of Slayers," he said, his voice shaking. "I didn't really understand what you meant..."
"Well," Buffy began. "The Master drowned me and I... died, for a little bit. So this other girl, Kendra became a Slayer also. Because everytime a Slayer dies, a new girl becomes a Slayer. But then, just last year when we were fighting The First, which is the first evil, every girl that was a potential Slayer- that is to say, if I or Faith who was another girl who became a Slayer died, one of those girls would become the next Slayer. Then Willow did a spell to make all those girls, and other girls around the world become Slayers, so they had the strength and agility and coordination of the Slayer and all of the abilities that the Slayer posesses."
"So does the Slayer have magical powers or something?" Seamus questioned.
"In a way she does," replied Buffy. "She has super strength and very good coordination and agility. So I could throw darts and get a bullseye every single time, but without my Slayer powers, I can't."
Lavender Brown raised her hand. "Who's Willow?" she asked.
"Willow is my friend who is a witch," Buffy explained.
"Is your sister a slayer?" Parvati asked.
"No," Buffy explained. "There's a silghtly confusing story about my sister. A bunch of monks created her, and made everyone think that she was my sister and that she had existed my whole life. Then a hell-goddess named Glory decided she wanted to use Dawn to open up a passage to hell."
The class stared at her with odd expressions.
Buffy continued answering questions for the rest of the class period. She was happy that people were interested in knowing more about her odd life and that they didn't think she was a total failure of a teacher.

That evening, Dawn found hersrelf sitting next to Draco on one of those leather couches in the Slytherin common room again.
"Hey," he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
she shivered.
"You cold?" he asked. He pulled her right up next to him and snuggled against her.
She let out a slow, shaky breath. She really couldn't help the fact that she was attracted to him and that he made her nervous.
"Lets go to the prefect's room," he whispered in her ear. Before she knew it, she was being led up to a room where Draco locked the door behind them. She sat down on the bed. "Have you gone mute?" he asked.
"No," she replied quietly.
"Good," he said devilishly.
He threw his mouth on hers and started searching the walls of her mouth. She let out a small squeal (as much as she could muster while she was being gagged with his tongue) and pushed their bodies apart.
"I'm- sorry, I have... bathroom!" she got up and quickly scampered out of the room.

"It seems like Professor Summers has gotten a lot more confident in herself," Hermione replied.
"Maybe it was that kiss with Professor Spike," Ron responded. Harry laughed.
Hermione rolled her eyes. Stupid, immature boys.
"My favorite teacher is Professor Spike," Harry said. "He doesn't make us do anything."
"So we're not learning anything in History of Magic," Hermione said. "That's not a good thing. What are we going to do come exam time?"
"Maybe we won't have one," Ron said hopefully.
Hermione rolled her eyes again. She could never get anything through to them.

Buffy left her classroom the next day and headed off to the library to inform Giles on the success of it. She burst through the door and the first person she saw was Willow.
"Wil!" she cried, embracing her.
Her eyes then met Xander's and... Andrew's...?
"What are you doing here?" she asked, hoping she didn't sound too rude.
"Well, I'm happy to know I'm so welcome here," he said in response.
She smiled and gave him a polite hug.
"Hey, what about Xander?" he asked, pretending to be offended.
She turned and hugged him tightly. "Hey, Xander," she said, her voice muffled. "So what are you guys doing here?" She then saw Giles. "I guess you took Spike and my distress as an excuse to invite some friends?"
"Spike?" Willow said, confused.
"He's alive," Buffy informed her. "You didn't tell them?" she asked Giles.
He shook his head. "I figured you could. And... I kind of... forgot," he said oddly.
"Wait, Spike's here?" Xander said, very confused.
"Yes, I am," Spike replied, making his entrance at the best possible time, as usual.
This would be an interesting reunion.
