A/N
Well, thanks for your reviews and keep 'em coming cause I like the feedback. I hope you like who the DADA teacher is cause yeah, hmm well I have finally decided so yeah. On this the story!!
Chapter six
Finally the door burst open from the top of the stairs in the room and there stood the new DADA teacher.....................or rather there stood two DADA teachers. Willows eyes widened, no it couldn't be, why would no, it's just wrong. There stood the new DADA teachers Angel and Cordelia.
Just a few minuets ago....
"So you want us to teach a bunch of little kids about demons and the like?" Cordy asked quizzically to Dumbledore. "Isn't that like just a little weird?" Cordy and Angel had been sent a letter for some jobs in England. They had left because Buffy had sent them some slayers and they thought it would be ok to leave Angel Investigations to them. They had come in their "regular" muggle clothing and just settled into a new room when they were told what they would teach and they would be teaching it very soon. Like in the next hour or so.
"Well, Miss Chase I would think from your experiences with demons and the general forces of darkness, I thought both you and Angel would be very suited for this job." Dumbledore explained. "Regarding information issues you are free to tell them as much as you want but I would please ask you not to tell anyone that you're a vampire Angel."
"Yes of course, but how do I get over my sunlight issues?" Angel asked. Dumbledore handed him an ancient looking pendant.
"This should protect you from the light..." Dumbledore said. Angel slipped the pendant over his head and could feel the warmth flow around him. "I believe your first class is about to start in a few minuets here is a map to show you where to go." Dumbledore handed them the map. They turned to leave and Dumbledore spoke up again. "I would like to add that you should pay no heed to anyone that looks familiar." A glint in his eye told them he would say no more so they left no really knowing what to expect.
Back to real time.
The pair strode into the class and looked around. They both felt a little out of place in muggle clothing. They had been given some background into Harry on the way over and a bit on the back ground of the Wizarding World. Cordy noticed that one girl in particular look like someone she knew from a long time ago but she couldn't put the face to a name. She pointed at the girl and whispered something to Angel. They decided that she must be the girl Dumbledore was talking about. Willow was stunned to say the least. She had heard that Cordy had become part demon to keep the visions she was having under raps but this was the last place she expected to see her. After a few minuets of silence the new professors spoke up. Cordy was first...
"Good morning I guess. I am," Cordy whispered to Angel and asked if they were professors, he nodded. "Well I am Professor Chase, and my brooding friend here is Professor O'Connell." Angel stepped forward. Willow was completely, well what's the word, she was confused and not so sure it was good they were here. Get a grip Dumbledore would have a good reason for them being here. Hey and Cordy's cut her hair...cool.
"Do any of you have questions for either of us?" Angel asked. Scattered hands rose from around the room. Hermione was called on first.
"Yes miss...?" Angel said
"Granger, Hermione. Yes I was wondering what we would be studying this year, because we weren't required to buy any books for this class yet."
"Yes, well, to be honest we don't really know. Probably some studies on vampires, slayers, and general demonology..." Wow thought Cordelia, did I just say that, how Willow of me. Wait Willow, that's who she looks like, except she is too young and she looks a bit different, and hello English and a witch, well I guess willow was a witch but that doesn't matter. She whispered what she thought to Angel and his eyes gave a click of something inside him. Cordelia decided to call on someone else.
"Yes, mini-spike..." Cordy said. Wow he looks like sooo much like Spike she thought.
"It's actually, Draco Malfoy thank you, and what would two muggles as yourselves know about our world and the world of demons." Draco asked with a smirk, the Slytherins snickered.
"Well Mr. Malfoy, I have been fighting the forces of darkness, when I was in high school, totally Buffy's fault, but yeah. And Professor O'Connell here has been kicking evil ass for much longer." Cordy replied in Queen-C mode. "Also it's our duty to subtract points, 25 will be removed from your house. What house would that be you there what house is he in." She was asking Neville.
"I'm Neville L-longb-bottom miss, and he is in S-slytherin." Neville stuttered out.
"Thank you Mr. Longbottom, 25 points will be deducted from Slytherin for questioning a teachers qualifications. Angel hadn't said anything for a while. He had been too intrigued by this little girl who looks very much like a younger version of Willow. Though her eyes and hair were different she had a striking resemblance to Willow in her high school years. She also smelt slightly like Willow. His vampiric senses had been going crazy about her smell, but he still wasn't sure. Willow knew he was checking her for her Willowy-ness. She knew she must get out so she risked talking to them; and raised her hand.
"Yes, Willow." Angel said, "I mean what is your name miss." Angel kicked himself for his lack of self-control. Willow was going to freak. He could tell it was her and plus now people were looking at her strangely.
"I'm Alyson Hannigan, sir." Though she was scared about revealing her secret identity, she just giggled in her head about calling Angel sir. "Well sir I was wondering if I would be able to go and see Dumbledore, I just remembered I needed to go and talk to him..." She lied. Angel thought if it was Willow then she would go and talk to Dumbledore about them and everything.
"Of course W-Miss Hannigan." Angel replied again kicking himself mentally.
"Thank you sir..." Willow replied. She quickly gathered up her stuff and left the room with quizzical looks from the class. She hurried her way to Dumbledore's office. Luckily she bumped into Professor McGonagall, and she gave her the password to Dumbledore's office.
She took a seat in front of Dumbledore and nibbled on her fingers nervously.
"Allyson, you wanted a word..." Dumbledore said looking down from his private library.
"Yes sir, you must know I know Angel and Cordy and I was wondering if I can tell them who I am and why I am here, I think they have their suspicions." Willow explained.
"Yes, well I don't see a problem with telling them, but I think maybe Mr. Giles should be privy to this information as well."
"Yes, but I would like to speak to them soon, Angel already used my real name in class, and I think people were suspicious when I left the room in such a hurry. So I think I would need to tell Giles soon. Now if possible."
"Yes, I think you are trying to hint that you would like a portkey or something of the like?"
"Yes, if it wouldn't be too much trouble." Dumbledore just nodded. He muttered some incantations over some object, two to be exact. One an old sock and the other a watch that was counting down.
"The sock will take you to your house and the watch when kit reaches zero will transport you back to Hogwarts. You should come back right here. Hold the sock tight now..." he handed her the items... "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Dumbledore counted down. Willow felt a tugging at her and she fell over in her lounge room.
"Willow!!" she heard Giles yell. Luckily he was alone.
"Giles make the world stop spinning so fast and I will be fine...." Willow said disorientated. After she was steady she quickly got to the point. "I have 5 minuets so we have to talk fast. Angel and Cordelia are now instated teachers at Hogwarts." Giles's eyes widened. "I was wondering if I could tell them that I really am Willow and the reason for my being at Hogwarts."
"What did Dumbledore say about this?" Giles asked while rubbing his glasses.
"He said I should ask you, though he doesn't have a problem with it."
"Well I guess it would be fine, just ask them to owl me ok."
"Sure Giles, can you imagine Cordy a teacher and Angel too."
"Yes it is quite an improvement."
"Well I guess I'm off, good bye Giles." She hugged him and stepped back.
"Goodbye Willow," Willow waved at Giles who just smiled back at her. With another tugging feeling she was back at Hogwarts.
"Remind me never to portkey again." Willow said standing. Dumbledore smiled.
"What did Mr. Giles say?" Dumbledore asked once Willow had seated herself.
"He's all on the OK, so I will talk to Angel and Cordy at lunch. Which is now so I better go, thank you Professor."
"You're welcome Alyson, good luck." Willow picked her stuff up and left hurriedly. She ran full blast to the Great Hall but when she got close she slowed to catch her breath. She entered in complete control. She took a seat next to Ron which was as far from Hermione as she could get. She knew Hermione would ask all sorts of questions. She quickly got into eating before questions were asked.
"What happed to you in DADA Ally?" Hermione asked after a while.
"Ah, nothing just needed to talk to Dumbledore about something." Willow replied.
"Oh, anything interesting?" This came from Harry.
"No nothing....interesting..." Willow replied. "Do you know why the new DADA teacher called you Willow Ally?" Hermione again.
"I have no clue Mione, but I have to go and......ill see you later." She quickly got up and went to see Angel and Cordy...

Willow reached the DADA room and knocked on the door, she pushed it open. Angel sat by the window in the SUN!!! Sun?? How did he do that, Albus must of given him something for that. Cordy was going though papers on the large wooden desk, at the front of the room.
"Hello Cordy, Angel..." Willow said happily. At their names they both looked up her. Cordy hadn't told her, her fist name in class.
"How did you?" Cordy asked
"Don't you remember me?" Willow asked pouting
"I knew it was you!" Angel said getting up. "What are you doing here Willow?"
"You should learn, I am not Willow, My name is Alyson Hannigan." Then Willow went all lay of the land.
Ok So I am Willow but I am here under cover. If you want to say something just think it.
Willow what are you doing here? And how the heck are you doing this? Cordy...thought
Yeah Wills, this is strange. Angel added.
Duh, magic, and I am here to watch over a boy, called Harry Potter. You know the boy with the scar. Willow explained
Yeah, ok Dumbledore gave us the 411 on that guy, some evil wizard. Cordy said—thought
Yes, Voldermort, but he and I knew each other when I was really me. I live in England by the way. But that's not the point I am here to protect Harry but he knows who Willow is so I am Allyson now. So you can't say anything. Ohhh Hermione is so intuitive and kinda snoopy so watch yourself around her. I suggest that Angel you should eat when you're in the great hall we don't want any suspicion aroused ok. Also there is a prophesy about Harry and the big bad so i am here hopefully to prevent anything apocalyptic!! Willow explained, both teachers nodded, Willow broke the spell.
"Well I must be getting back to class, Professor Chase and Professor O'Connell, it was nice meeting you."
"It was nice meeting you too Allyson Hannigan."
Zoom back to the Great Hall...
Willow hasn't found the trio yet.
"Something is up, Alyson has been acting soo strange ever since the new DADA teachers got here." Hermione said concerned.
"This may have nothing to do with anything but, during the summer I met this female muggle."
"Your right Harry it doesn't unless she was hot." Ron said with a mouth full of bread. Hermione hit him over the head. "Hey..." Ron said with protest.
"Let me finish Ron. Well this, woman moved into our street, she was in her twenties, her and I got on really well, but the thing is her name was Willow." Harry explained. Hermione looked a little shocked.
"That could be her, magic could hide her real appearance. But why would she come here" Hermione said
"I know she would have had a ton of times where she could have killed me... why come to Hogwarts."
Willow comes in and they have the convo etc. Willow leaves.
"We should follow; I don't know if we can trust her if she really is Willow." Harry said The trio followed unbeknownst to her. They finally reached the DADA class room.
"What are you doing here Willow?" They heard the professor ask their friend...
"You should learn, I am not Willow, My name is Alyson Hannigan." Their friend said. They thought ok, normal but then they didn't talk. Though their facial expressions changed they didn't seem to be talking. Both the professors seemed just to look at their friend. Then suddenly Allyson or Willow or whoever talked.
"Well I must be getting back to class, Professor Chase and Professor O'Connell , it was nice meeting you." Willow/Allyson said
"It was nice meeting you too Allyson Hannigan." Angel said with a smile.
Before Willow left the trio ran off to the common room.
Ron was the first to talk.
"That was very strange..."
"Yes, it was, Harry be careful around Allyson or Willow, we saw what she could do." Hermione said.
"We should stick to calling her Allyson though, and we should try and act the same as always." Harry said. They quickly made their way off to class.
