Chapter 2
After Hagrid left the room Dumbledore smiled wanting to get Buffy to relax and surprisingly she did. Buffy was so confused, she knew she was the slayer and all so she knew all about demons and vampires and that kind of stuff but she knew nothing of magic. She hadn't really thought about when she left Sunnydale just thought it would be a great place to escape to, but now that she was there she couldn't think of any reason why she should teach at a magical school.
Finally Buffy spoke saying, "Professor Dumbledore sir, I was wondering why you would wish for me to teach here. I am after all only seventeen and I know nothing of magic in anyway shape or form."
"Ah, you may not know how to use it but you have very powerful magic. It came when you became the slayer, which is how you got your strength and speed. You become connected with the magic which is contained within the world. It is why you are able to sense who is a vampire and who isn't and which is why you feel that Hogwarts is in fact alive. Over the summer and during the course of the year the teachers here will tutor you in the use of a wand and the other courses you did not take." Dumbledore explained.
Buffy stood in shock not knowing what to say or do. She was a witch, her mind could not understand that fact at all. It was then that the door to the office opened and in walked two people. One was a rather serious looking woman with a stern face, sever looking bun, and stiff stance. The other man had long black greasy hair, a pale sallow face, a large hooked nose, and a mouth which seemed to be in a permanent smirk. Buffy could only guess that this was Severus and Minerva.
"Hagrid said that you wished to see us." The woman said shooting curious glances towards the young woman that was sitting in front of Dumbledore's desk with a stunned look upon her face, who gave no indication that she had even realize that two new people had walked into the room.
"Ah, yes Minerva Severus this is Buffy Summers she will be the new Dada teacher. Buffy this is Minerva McGonagall the transfigurations teacher and Severus Snape the potions master. I am going to take Buffy here to Diagon Alley, you would not mind teaching her over the summer would you." Dumbledore made it somewhat of a question but it was more like a statement then anything else, saying it in his guilt inducing voice. The two nodded knowing that to argue would be useless, Snape however turned his head and sneered at the young girl.
Knowing that he might regret what he was about to say he still said it anyway, "Why in the world would you hire a child to be a teacher especially someone who has knows nothing of magic and has seen even less danger then Lockheart. She probably knows nothing about the evils of the world."
Snape was right when he thought that he shouldn't say that, the look on Buffy's face scared the hell out of him. There was anger there all directed at him, but she said nothing then just turned around as if he had been a disgusting bug that she couldn't be bothered with. Dumbledore smiled amused at Buffy's reactions to Snape and Snape's to Buffy. Normally it was the new teacher who was annoyed and dislike Snape while Snape just showed that they were beneath him and that he disliked them.
Motioning Buffy over to his fire place Dumbledore quickly explained about floo powder and what she had to do. He went through first, quickly followed by Buffy. They found themselves in the leaking cauldron. Upon getting there Buffy felt her senses go wacky. Everywhere they were picking up strange creatures, things she had never felt before, and things she had. Werewolves and vampires, veela and others. She could barely sort out where anything was. Buffy didn't even notice how many people were staring at her and Dumbledore although Dumbledore did. He knew that it wasn't often that he was in Diagon Alley or anywhere outside of Hogwarts and so it was very odd for many of these people to see him. Because he was famous they gawked also wondering on who the blond girl that came in next to him and seemed to be kind of dizzy was.
Dumbledore quickly led Buffy through the Leaky Cauldron and into the actual alley. Upon seeing the magnificent place Buffy forgot all about her headache and tingling senses. It was amazing, how could such a place exist. There were no words for the feeling she got from this place. It was filled with excitement and love. It seemed almost as if there was something that was pulling at her telling her that this place could be her home. There was something here that made her want to protect and felt protected. It felt a lot like Hogwarts which made her wonder if all magical places made you fell like that. Then she felt it, at the very edge of her conscious, what felt like a black hole. A place that wanted to suck her into the darkness and never let her go. On the side there was another alley, upon pointing it out to Dumbledore he explained that that was a place where they sold dark things, evil things.
Buffy made sure to stay away from there not sure how to deal with the feeling that it gave off. After getting her money from Gringotts, the wizarding bank. The goblins had exchanged her money for wizarding money, Dumbledore led her out into the shops. First thing that she did was buy her robes which she found glorious. She bought one black robe, one white one, a dark and light blue one, a red one, a purple one, and a pink one. She bought only a few books knowing that she could use the ones in Hogwarts library whenever she wished. She also bought an owl, a pure black one with chocolate eyes which she named Angel even though it was a guy owl. Dumbledore had just smiled sadly when she did this. The way she carried it showed that she cared a great deal about it, she wanted to keep Angel as alive as she could. Last came her wand.
This is what she had wanted to do since she had first heard about magic was get her wand. Just entering the shop was an experience. The place was old and dusty filled with boxes holding wands. An old shriveled man came in muttering to himself. He had silver eyes and an even older aura then Dumbledore something that surprised her a great deal seeing how old Dumbledore seemed.
"A slayer, it has been a long time since I have given a wand to a slayer. Yes yes a very long time, oak nine inches, with a dragon heartstring inside. A very strong wand both inside and out. The one before was willow 10 inches with a unicorn hair." The old man said before grabbing a wand and handing it over before continuing by saying, "Walnut eleven inches, phoenix feather. Well what are you waiting for, give it a wave."
No sooner had Buffy waved it and then he snatched it back. This continued, him giving Buffy wands and then taking them away just as quickly. Finally Olivander got yet another wand before saying, "I doubt that this will work, but here. It is a one of a kind ten inch willow, with a core of vampire blood. No other wand has vampire blood in it."
