Okay I got a review that this is a lot like Learning to Live by Silmedin, and I have to agree since I have read that story. Buffy I am not writing this. A friend of mine, Coy, is writing this and he had never, I repeat never been on Fanfiction.net and has NEVER read Learning to Live. I actually have had this on my site for a few years. It's not anymore since I switched domain names though. So now that that's out of my system. On with the story. ~Kailie Melcher~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Halloween came before anyone knew it. Angel was going to come and visit for that night while he was in London. He said he was bringing someone. Buffy thought it it would be Cordy, Wes, or Connor, who she had found out about and didn't really care about the whole Darla thingie. Buffy hadn't heard from Spike at all. Buffy was grading papers as her 3rd year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw class worked silently. There was a knock at the door and everyone looked. Angel stood there with a boy about 16.

"Hey Angel," Buffy said hugging Him.

Angel pointed to the rest of the class.

"Um. You've only got a minute until class ends. You all can leave early. Just don't make trouble in the hall or Snapey will be after me....again," Buffy said.

The class laughted then left.

"Buffy. I want you to meet my son Connor," Angel said.

Connor stepped foreword and the two's eyes met. They looked alike, a lot alike. If they didn't know for a fact that Darla was the mother, Buffy would be the first guess as mother.

"Nice to finally meet you Connor," Buffy said shaking his hand.

"You too," Connor said still looking at her.

"Bloody Hell? Is he your son or something Buffy?" Harry asked as he, Ron, and Hermione walked in.

Angel and Buffy let out a snort.

"Connor this is Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Guys this is Connor, Angel's son," Buffy said.

"No wonder you two aren't married then. He has a kid," Ron said.

"Actually about that," Angel said turning to Buffy.

"Nope I get first Yelling. Connor why don't you go with those three. They can show you around then we'll all meet up for dinner in the great hall. Okay with you guys?" Buffy asked.

The 4 nodded then walked out. Buffy turned to Angel.

"Why didn't you tell me we were engaged?!" Buffy asked.

"Because of this. I knew you would yell. It meant love and Friendship but also Engagement. Buffy what happened after I gave that to you?"

"Angelus came out to play why?"

"That's why Buff. I couldn't tell you since like you know the whole hell thing. Afterwords I left. I couldn't tell you. And now I am. Buff will you marry me?" Angel asked.

Buffy's eyes widened. Then she smiled then flung into Angel's arms.

"Is that a yes?" Angel asked.

"Yes Dead boy," Buffy said smiling.

Angel kissed her.

"Okay. I can count the wrongness here. A: Professor B: My Dad," Connor said.

They pulled apart.

"What's the celebration about?" Hermione asked.

"You two got engaged? My God," Connor said guessing when he saw the rings for the first time.

"Connor," Angel said.

"Woah you two are engaged. Congrats," Harry said.

"Thanks Harry, but we better be getting to the feast. Connor you an sit with us or with Harry and them," Buffy said.

"I'll sit with them. They can keep a better conversation then dad can," Connor smirked.

*****

The next day Connor and Angel had to leave again. The group said bye then went to their classes.

*****

Another month passed by and nothing extrordenary happened. Until a day before Thanksgiving. Everyone was chatting in the great hall when all the candles flickered a few times.

"This can't be good," Buffy said standing with the rest of the professors.

She automatically opened up her senses.

"Students stay in here. No one is to leave. Professors follow me," Dumbledore said walking out.

"Minnie you should stay with them. Snapey you head down to your dark layer and look around there for anyone. D you take the upper floor. I'll take over by my room," Buffy said.

They all split up chuckling at the names Buffy called them.

*****

Buffy was heading back with Severus, who she had met while searching the hallways, to the Great Hall.

"Well who do we have here? If it ain't the poof's gal," A voice said.

Buffy whipped around, sward in hand, and faced Spike.

"Sev. Go to the students and stay there," Buffy said and Snapey reluctantly left.

"Come on now Love. Can't we just talk?" Spike smirked.

"You wish Spike," Buffy said. "How did you get in here without an invitation?"

"Went to school here love. Name's on a board," Spike smiled making his way towards the slayer.

He took out an all to familiar knife. The blade glistened in the candlelight.

*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*

Buffy cried out as she hit the floor. Spike bent down pinning her to the floor. He flipped the knife in his hand, the blade glistening.

"Spike, why are you doing this?" Buffy asked her voice pleading.

"Cos Nibblet's gone. You killed her slayer. I've got nothing to fight for. Plus they always say. Third time's a charm. 3 slayers down after tonight," Spike smirked as he lowered the knife. "And since you've already died twice. Maybe this time, seeing it as being your third, you'll have the sense to stay 6 feet under."

*~*~*

"You aren't getting your third Spike. The tables have turned," Buffy said taking a step back for every step he took foreword.

"That right Slayer? Why you backing away? As far as I can tell nothing's changed," Spike said taking out a sward like Buffy's.

The fight began. They were at it for a while then Spike flung Buffy through the doors leading to the Great Hall breaking them. Students screamed and dodged out of the way. She stood an grabbed her sward in time to block Spike's attack. Everyone was frozen in place watching the two fighters "Dance". Spike got the upper hand and made Buffy's sward fly to the side. He headbutted her sending her to the ground. As he twisted his sward and stepped foreword, Buffy crawled backwards till she was against the wall.

Major Deja Vou from Angelus, Buffy thought thinking of when she had sent Angel to Hell.

"Where's your boy now Slayer? The Great Poof isn't here to save you this time. Angelus once told me something that I've been telling every slayer that I've killed," Spike smirked raising his sward to plunge it in her heart.

As if her Deja Vou couldn't get any worse.

"So that's everything Eh? No weapons... No Friends.... No hope.... Take all that away and what's left Slayer?" Spike said then started to plunge the sward down.

Buffy caught the blade, something Spike hadn't been expecting. Their eyes met.

"Me," Buffy answered then sent the hilt of the sward into Spike's face then tumbled to the side grabbing her sward.

The fight continued. Eventually Spike's sward flew to the side. She was about to decapitate him when he said something smiling.

"I'll tell your friends Hi Slayer," Spike smirked.

Buffy decapitated Spike then he turned to dust. She dropped the sward and stared at the dust slowly backing away.

"Like to see you try to come back again. Jerk," Buffy said then turned to where everyone had their mouths open.

"You might wanna close your mouths. Flies," Buffy joked lightly.

They did but their eyes stayed widened.

"That was very wow worthy," Hermione said.

Buffy smiled at how much Hermione was like Willow.

"My lord," McGonagall said taking the mess in.

Buffy raised a hand to her arm where she had gotten cut by Spike's sward.

"Uh! He is so lucky he's dead or else I would kill him all over again. I payed big Bucks for this shirt," Buffy complained then kicked his ashes making them go everywhere. "Jerk."

Everyone laughed.

"So you're a slayer?" A kid asked.

Buffy groaned then muttered," High school all over again." She spoke to everyone. "In class when ever you have it I'll tell you everything. Okay?"

Everyone nodded then went to their common rooms talking about thier latest professor.
