Chapter Seven

Willow sat in the library alone finishing off a potions paper. It had been one month since Cordy and Angel had started at Hogwarts. She knew she acted a bit different now but she couldn't help it. They still hadn't told anyone about themselves yet, strangely enough they had got around those issues with no problem. Willow also knew that Hermione, Harry and Ron were suspicious of what she had been doing lately. She could tell they were keeping close tabs on her, she was getting quite annoyed. She had started to meet with Angel and Cordy regularly do research more in to the impending prophesy. They hadn't deciphered much only something was due to happen on Halloween. Nothing major but something important.

Later at the great hall during dinner.

Dinner had commenced and Willow after breaking her stage fright got up to address the school. Dumbledore tapped his glass, and the whole school fell quiet and looked up at him. In front of him Willow stood.

"If you could all turn your attention to Ms. Hannigan I think she has a few words for you all." Dumbledore said warmly.

"Thank you Professor. So like all of you know that Halloween is coming up right." She got a few nodding head and a few soft yeahs. "Well in light of his festive occasion we will be having a party." Some people hooted and glasses were banged against table with appreciation. Willow raised her hands to indicate she wanted to tell them more. "Yes, we are all very happy, the party will be held here in the great hall. On the day of Halloween no one will be able to enter the great hall, and I mean no-one, Professors will be admitted but only on dire emergencies." She got some strange looks but she just smiled deviously. "The party will start from 6:30. During the feast towards the end, we will be having an open mike night." more strange looks, "I guess it's a muggle term. We will be allowing any students to perform music, if you have a band and have been just hiding yourself away; well this is your chance to show yourself off. If you want to do this please tell me, and give me the full details of your song, lyrics and music etc. Umm oh after that we will be having the real party, dance and costume. For the feast we will be not having any costume wearing. After the feast everyone must go back to there dorms and change. It is required to wear a costume. You can make them or buy them. We will play music through out the party of course so if you have any requests we will have a magic duke box. I know Slytherins won't like this but our music will be muggle. Wizard music is just not right for dancing. I think that's it, if you have any Questions just ask." Willow hopped down and chatter broke out between the students. Dumbledore and her had decided that this would allow her to be a bit sneaky with arousing any suspicion, especially between her and some of her fellow Gryffindors.

People pummeled Willow with questions about the whole affair. She was up for suggestions for food etc. Their costumes had to be very original, and she stressed the thing about people buying costumes, that whole Ethan Rayne Halloween incident had just flooded back to her. It was getting late Willow decided to head back to the common room.

She had recently found the room of requirement and had been having regular training sessions there. She had always made sure not too be followed and occasionally cloaked herself with, magic. She found it easier to use magic here, she was in much more controlled of her magic here, she presumed because it was all around her and it wasn't so dark. But back to training she had decided tonight she would patrol. It had been nearly four months and she hadn't patrolled yet. She crept outside as silent as she could. She had strapped a dagger to her ankle and she had hidden two stakes in her cloths. She was wearing her patrolling cloths. A lose jacket, some pants, and an oldish top. She made her way though and out of the school and crept out into the forest.

She meandered through the forest trying to find any thing. Hopefully just some new vamps, any thing easy would do. Finally she got her wish. She came across two vamps. They looked to be newbies so she crept up slowly. She decided to take the male first. She was right behind him and she leapt out plunging the stake into his heart from behind. The startled female was quick to react, but Willow wanted to keep it alive, questioning. She shot magic at it and it fell to the ground held by an invisible force.

"What are you doing here?" Willow demanded

"None of your business! Foolish girl" The vamp spat back.

"Wrong answer." A plastic stake flew from Willows back pocket and pushed into the area of the vampire's heart. The girl flinched and started to moan in agony. "Let's try again. What are you doing here?" Willow pushed the fake stake a bit further to make sure the vamp new she meant business.

"We were sent by my master to watch over the castle." She got out between screams.

"Who is your master and why did he want you to watch the castle?" Willow questioned

"The dark lord wanted us to watch and record what the boy did!"

"Have you replied to your master? Don't toy with me now…" The stake moved a bit further in.

"No, no we haven't…" The vamp smirked. Willow didn't like that. Then she felt a blade swish behind her and she could feel blood trickle down her back. She groaned at the sudden pain and her stupidity for not realizing that there would be more than two of them. With a flick of her wrist the first vamp's head was ripped off. While doing so she swung around and swiped under her feet under her assailant's legs making the vamp collapse on his back. She quickly pulled out her other stake and plunged it into his heart. She reached out with her magic to see if there were any close by. She could feel none. She sat up exhausted; she sat down and concentrated on her back trying to stop the bleeding. After a while it ceased and the wound started to naturally heal. She slowly crept up to the castle or back hunched over to stop so much pain in her back. She slowly got back to her room; she slipped off her top with a low his coming from the pain her back.

"Where have you been?" Willow was startled by the voice, it was Hermione, dam she thought she was so close to not being caught.

"I just went to the bathroom…" She lied

"Oh, ok" Hermione knew something was up but she didn't want to get in an argument yet.

The next morning Willow woke up early, the wound on her back had hampered her sleep and she was still very tired. She also thought the wound had opened again while she was asleep so parts of the bed had bits of blood on it. Hermione noticed this but didn't say anything about it, she would tell the boys later. Willow decided it to be best not to go patrolling for a long time; Willow could tell she was arousing to much suspicion when ever she winced when she sat. At lunch time she broke away from the group, she used the excuse of asking about a DADA essay she had to write. She knocked on the door and opened it slightly.

"Ah, Alyson, what can I do for you?" Cordy asked.

"I need to talk to both of you so, yeah, where's Professor O'Connell?" Willow asked.

"I'm right here…" Angel said from behind Willow she jumped at the sudden appearance at his voice.

"Ok, good, umm hold on." She muttered something and a quick amount of light shot and hit the door.

"What did you just do Allyson?" Cordy asked

"Just a silence charm, no one can hear us unless they opened the door and came in the room. But back to the reason why I came. Last night I went patrolling." The two professors looked quite shocked. "Yeah, well don't worry I wont be doing that for a while…" She proceeded to tell them about the vamps she had encountered and what they had said.

"Angel, do you think we should tell Albus about this?" Cordy asked.

"Yeah, I think he should know what's happening around his school, you're sure you're alright W-Alyson." Angel knew it was safe to call her that now but he still could never get used to calling her something other than Willow. Angel decided to inform Dumbledore and that was that. Willow left and removed the charm.

Fly back to when Willow left the trio at lunch.

"Harry, Alyson has been acting really strange for a while, something is happening…last night she came in really late and this morning she had blood on her pillow and a bit on her night cloths. I don't know what to think." Hermione deduced to the others.

"Just keep an eye on her Mione, you know when we can't. Some how she seems different, almost distant, have you found a revealing spell yet that would pass though her wandless magic yet Mione?" Harry asked, Dumbledore had taken out nearly all important books about Willow's type of magic for just this reason.

"No, it's strange we have a huge extensive library and there isn't anything interesting on wandless. They have just some books that gloss over the topic but nothing like we are looking for." Hermione explained frustrated.

"Well, we could look in the restricted section, there might be something there." Ron suggested in between bites.

"No, I don't think they would have anything. Normally text on wandless magic would we every where because it is very rare for a wizard or witch like us to perform wandless magic. And even if we can it doesn't become very powerful, because we have to many other forms of magic in us." Hermione said.

"Strange…" said Harry "very strange."

"So on a lighter subject, who are you taking to the prom Harry?" Ron asked; Hermione sent him a withering look, "Wha? Just because we might have a psycho witch on the lose doesn't mean I can't know who Harry, here fancy's!" Ron said. Harry and Hermione just rolled their eyes.

It was to be Halloween in three days Willow had been taking down who wanted to perform at dinner and all of that. No band but she had had a lot of people wanting to sing songs. So far she had Ginny singing Britney Spears, Everytime, such a slut thought Willow, Britney that is not Ginny. She had Cho Chang singing Come Clean by Hilary Duff. Who would have thought though that Neville of all people wanted to sing, and what's more he would be playing piano as well, he was going to The Scientist by Coldplay. Ron decided he would sing Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. Harry had decided to sing something, Behind Blue Eyes, Limp Bizkit. Hermione hadn't signed up for anything but she had a whole lot more people sing. She too decided to sing Hello by Evanescence. She had enchanted instruments play and she had set up melodically backups from another enchantment. Other songs she had were, Don't Tell Me by Avril Lavigne, Fuck It(I don't want you back) by Eamon she didn't think the professors would like this but she decided to place a charm over their seats so all the swear words would be blocked out. Lavender was going to sing Toxic by Britney Spears. She was skeptical about letting another Spears song but when she heard Lavender she thought other wise. She had When Doves Cry, by Guy Sebastian and so many more. She hoped Halloween would be a big hit.
