MERRY CHRISMIKKAH!!! from Kailie, Jager, and Prue.

ManiacPlea- I'm making it so that the damage to her leg was made too far in the past so magic/potions can't fix it.

Sorry for the lack of updates but I had a 25 page report due cos my teachers are evil!!!! Like bunnies I guess. hmmm.......the possibilities....

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

Another portal appeared like when Dawn came, but this time the Scoobies walked out.

"Buffster!!!!" Xander yelled jumping onto Buffy's back.

"Xan!!" Buffy yelled laughing.

Willow soon bounced over and hugged the two.. They all hugged Buffy then went to Dawn. Giles And Buffy hugged the longest.

"Whoa. Buff, you and Dawnie live in a castle?" Willow asked.

Buffy led the group with Dawn into the School.

"She teaches here," Dawn answered.

"What?" They all asked.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts. Magic School," Buffy said pulling out a Wand. "See."

"Cool," Xander said as he looked at a moving picture.

"Thier gonna love where we eat then huh Buff?" Dawn said.

"A cafeteria?" Xander asked.

They opened the doors to the Great Hall. The group, except Giles, was staring at the ceiling with their jaws open. Buffy and Dawn laughed pulling the group to the one table that was set up since none of the other students were here.

"Who might these people be?" Dumbledore asked.

Buffy introduced everyone to everyone.

"You're work?" Giles asked his slayer pointing to Snapey.

Buffy and Dawn nodded smiling.

"Great. They were bad enough without magic now with it," Giles said rolling his eyes.

"You don't know half of it," Snape muttered.

"Snapey," They both warned.

"Cordy would even be impressed," Willow smirked.

"Or even worse, Queen C might try to give everyone highlights," Xander siad.

"God help us all," Dawn said sarcastically.

"Remember he dated her. Xan still carries resentments," Buffy smirked.

"Do not. I dated Anya remember," Xander said.

"Ah yes Bunny girl. One of Codelia's sheep," Willow said.

"Not to mention the fact she was a vengence demon," Buffy pointed out.

"Can't forget that mummy girl he dated too," Dawn said.

"Okay enough about me. G-Man had no one," Xander said.

"Xander, shut up," Buffy and Giles said.

*****

When the holidays were over everyone returned. An extra table as set up for the Scoobies plus Draco and Harry's group. As a joke a banner with Scooby- Doo's head on it was hanging above the table. Dawn had pointed out earlier at lunch that every table had banners. When some of the students saw it, and everyone who had been told laughed.

"So let me get this straight. You're engaged to Angel?" Xander asked.

"Yep," Buffy said.

"Great. Like we need to see dead boy any more," Xander said.

"Xander," The whole group said.

"Touchy touchy," Draco smirked as he sat down next to Dawn.

During the holidays Dawn and Draco "Hooked up". The group chuckled and the food appeared.

"So G-Man who's the big bad?" Xander asked smirking at the watcher.

"This is hell and I'm in it," Giles said.

"We're fighting Snake Guy's followers," Dawn answered for Giles.

"Whom my Sister here killed with one arrow from a crossbow," Buffy said.

"Go Dawnie," Willow said. "Wait Snake guy? There's snakes involved?"

"I sure as hell hope not. If there is, screw that and the world can fight for itself cos I'm taking a long vacation and praying the world doesn't end before I get married," Buffy said.

Only the Scoobies knew the inside joke.

"Why no snakes?" Draco asked.

"Long story short. When I died and Wills brought me back snakes came out of her mouth," Buffy said.

Hermione and Harry pushed their plates away. Everyone else met a gaze and smiled.

"So what happens? Like after we finish doing our latest apocalypse do we go bye bye again?" Xander asked Buffy.

"You're looking at me? It just said we're gonna kick some evil ass straight to hell. Then were done," Buffy said.

Draco and Ron choked on their food since they heard a teacher cuss.

"Better get use to it guys. Wait till you see the battle face the Summers Girls put on," Xander said then whistled.

"Xander," The two said throwing food.

"Ya could at least aim for the mouth," Willow said dusting some food off her shirt.

"Sorry," They said.

"Okay so what's the deal with the school thingamabob?" Xander asked.

"Great going Xan. Now I got that bibbity-bobbity-boo song in my head," Dawn complained.

"With the thingamabob word?" Xander asked.

"Yeah cos the thingamabob that does the job is bibbity-bobbity-boo," Willow said a matter of factly.

Buffy laughed.

"You guys are weird," Harry said shaking his head.

"Xander. How was hell?" A voice smirked from behind Xander.

"Nice Dead Boy. Got a great tan. Too bad you couldn't when you weren't there with you being dead and all," Xander smirked.

"Touche," Angel said sitting next to Buffy and kissing her.

"Don't insult him about that Xan cos I feel guilty about sending him to hell still thank you," Buffy said.

Xander put up his hands in surrender while the students looked at each other curiously.

"Where's Connor?" Dawn asked.

"In L.A. Keeping an eye on things," Angel said.

"Still see that Wes can take care of things the same," Willow smirked.

"How is Wesley?" Giles asked.

"Non Stuffy and he has a sense of humor," Buffy said.

"Get out!" Willow and Xander said.

"On the receiving end," Buffy said.

"Since when?" Xander asked.

"Cordy said for a few years but it was freaky. When you see him you'll think: morbid much?" Buffy said.

"OOO Uber-creepy," Xander joked.

"Zip it Shaggy," Dawn said.

"Zip is Scrappy," Xander said.

"Hey!" Dawn said. "I am not a midget."

"And I'm confused," Draco said.

"Not the only one," Harry said.

"Third," Ron said.

"And Fourth that," Hermione said.

"Oh no you don't," Xander said to Buffy then threw food at her while she and Willow cracked up laughing.

"What did she do now?" The Hogwarts people (Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Dawn) asked as one.

"I brought up his song that Anya told us about," Buffy said.

Dawn cracked up laughing along with Willow.

"Not even close to being as funny as Anya's Bunny song," Buffy said.

More laughter. Everyone in the hall cranked their necks to the laughing group.

"Bunnies are so not evil people! I still to this day know why Anya came up with that Idea," Dawn said.

"I was engaged to her and I still don't know, and before either Willow or Buffy make the comment I know you will make here's my comeback ahead of time," Xander said chucking food at them.

"Alexander Harris!" Both said chucking food back.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other then wondered "Huh?" Then they went back to their food.

"She obviously thought so if Sweet made her sing about it. Did you see her dancing? She bounced for her 'Hoppy legs' line," Willow said.

"Can't forget the twitchy little noses motions with her hands," Giles added and everyone laughed.

"You should have seen my math teacher dancing on desks. He was like 60, ewwwie. And then when Sweet sang to me it was like. HELP ME!!!!" Dawn said.

"His farewell song was good though," Xander said as the group got up to leave.

"Oh yeah. Singing 'See you all in hell' was so challenging," Willow rolled her eyes.

"He wishes. He was so over dressed," Dawn said.

"What kind of respective man does tap anyway?" Xander asked. "It insults his manly-ness."

"And what would you know about that Xander?" Angel smirked and Xander shoved him playfully out the door.

"Hey! Mr. Beady Eyes quit annoying my guy or else you're gonna end up in a hell of a lotta pain from him and you know it," Buffy said as she walked out.

"Whatever Mrs. Peaches," Xander mocked.

"You are dead Alexander LaVelle Harris," Angel and Buffy said taking off after a squealing Xander who sounded very much like a girl.

"Xander you trying to get Killed?!?!?!?!?!?!? You've been in Angel's presence for 2 minutes. Jeeze," Dawn squeaked from the hallway.

"And you think that's a record?" Giles said.

"Sorry about that," Willow said shutting the doors behing them.

The group left leaving the students and staff in the great Hall confused as usual.

"Peaches?" A kid asked aloud and everyone shrugged.

*****

"I still can't believe you live here Buff," Xander said as they walked towards their rooms that were connected by a common room that was dubbed the Scooby Common Room.

"It is nice," Giles said.

"And big," Dawn added.

"Totally," Willow said.

"I practically got lost the first month here," Buffy said.

They walked into the common room and sprawled out on the couches.

"You think everyone in the Great Hall thinks were nuts and is seriously suspicious now?" Xander smiled.

"Buffy. You totally started it when you brought up Anya's song," Willow said.

"I resent that," Buffy said.

Giles chuckled.

"Besides. Xander started it," Buffy added.

"How?" Xander asked.

"You said 'where do we go from here'," Buffy said. "Plus that Mrs. Peaches comment. By the way," Buffy smacked him in the back of the head.

Dawn bursting into a fit of giggles at the memories.

"Well she thought it was funny," Xander pointed out.

"Yeah, but when we all started talking about evil bunnies and Sweet singing and his bad dress sense I think that's where we got the insane looks," Willow said.

"Bunnies," Buffy said letting out a few giggles.

They all started laughing.
