Chapter 3
As soon as Buffy's hands touched the wand it happened. A wind blew up and around Buffy but not like it normally did with wands. No this time, this time the wand seemed to caress the girls check and it spoke. It sounded like a real human being. It whispered I love yous and it'll be oks. A single tear ran down Buffy's cheek and when she tried to speak all that came out was a strangled sob was all that came out.
Trying again Buffy said, "You got the blood from Angelus the scrounge of Europe after he got his soul didn't you?" No other tear except that first one had fallen from her eyes and yet it seemed as though her eyes were filled with tears and pain.
"Why yes, I'm guessing that you know him." Olivander said not knowing about the death or why or how.
"I did, he's dead." Buffy said her voice a strange mixture of no emotion and too much pain for a human to stand.
Dumbledore ushered Buffy out of the shop, and Olivander just let them stunned that the vampire had died and that they slayer seemed to care so much. As soon as Buffy arrived back at Hogwarts she went to her room and slept, much to tired to do anything else.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next day woke in her room, still dressed in the clothes that she had worn the day before. She hadn't had the sense of mind to change at that time. Buffy began to look around at the room that would serve as her office and home for the time that she was here. The whole place was done in blue and silver with splashes of purple here and there. The ceiling was enchanter to look like the sky, same as in the Great Hall. The bed was a four poster bed draped in velvets and silks. It was the most luxurious thing that she had ever seen. The floor was carpeted, which she was grateful for knowing that she had the tendency to walk around bare foot and cold stone would be most uncomfortable. She saw that there was a perch which Angel her owl was sitting atop. He stood, black among the blue and silver. Still he seemed to fit strangely enough more then Buffy felt that she did. Leaving him to sleep Buffy continued on with her exploration. There was a fireplace with a fire going in all the rooms and the light were candles floating through out the room. The whole effect was very romantic and comfortable. The office had a huge desk, and the walls were covered in books about the dark arts from what she could tell by their titles. There was a clock on the wall, but it was unlike anything that she had ever seen before. Instead of just regular times like 1, 2, and so on it had things like breakfast and class time and bedtime. At the moment the hand was pointing to breakfast.
Noticing this Buffy got dressed and quickly headed down to the Great Hall to eat and meet the teachers. Buffy continued to try and keep her thoughts off Angel but it was so difficult, especially now that she had a wand She found that it wasn't quite as hard to get around as she thought it would be with the stairs moving, but the pictures helped a lot with directing her around the school. In the great hall she was introduced to Professors Sprout, Hooch, Flitwik, and some others. She was told that there was a divination teacher as well but she supposedly didn't come down very often to eat. Buffy took it from the looks that the other teachers gave her that this was a good thing and they didn't want her around. Professor Snape continued to glare at the young Dada teacher, and Buffy continued to ignore him.
After getting her food Buffy took a seat, finding the only unoccupied one was next to Snape, something that neither wished she would do. Snape however turned to her and asked, "So what makes you so great that you became a Dada teacher at the age of 17?" his hatred and jealousy showing through with his question.
"I may not know how to do magic but that is not the only way to fight nor is it the only way in which you can learn about demons and monsters. I have been fighting vampires and all the other big bad for two years now. In a magical duel you may be able to beat me, but in a swordfight there's no way." Buffy said her voice mimicking Snape's.
"I have been trained in the use of a sword since I was only seven years old. There is no wizard or witch alive that I can not beat. I doubt that there is any muggle who could beat me as well, seeing as how they are no where near as good." Snape said his dislike for muggles coming through, showing just how Slytherin he really was.
"Would you like to bet on that." Buffy said simply knowing with her strength and easiness with the weapon would allow her to win against any mere human, whether he be wizard or muggle.
"And bet what may I ask." Snape said knowing that there was no way a seventeen year old girl who probably didn't weigh over one hundred pounds (sorry I USen and so don't know the weight in British measurement. And yes I did just say USen, there are many other continents on America not just USA.) could defeat him in a duel with swords. Problem was that Buffy's short stature was one of her secret weapons, hiding the strongest slayer the world had ever seen and would ever see.
"How about this, you win, you get to teach Dada. I hear that you really want this job. If I win you teach me with no complaints." Buffy said simply with a slight smile at the thought of a fight. Fighting for her had become a release since Angel's change into Angelus. She had begun to understand the hunter that was inside of her. The way that although she was a warrior for the side of good that didn't mean that she was pure good. She loved the hunt just as much as the vampires and demons that she fought. The difference was that Buffy also loved real life and love, something that they didn't.
Snape sat there stunned thinking that the job he had so desperately wanted for so long was now being handed to him on a silver platter. Too shocked to say anything he just nodded his consent to the bet. Dumbledore upon seeing the agreement, smiled and summoned two of the swords which were kept inside the school. One had a black handle and a normal metal colored blade. However imbedded in the sword were some of the most beautiful designs in green you could hope to see. The second's handle was white with a pure silver blade, the designs were similar but this time done in gold. Handing them over to the two teachers his eyes sparkled with delight at their enraptured faces at the sight of the blades. Buffy had taken the white and Snape the black.
The duel started like any normal one, but as soon as the blade touched each other everyone knew that this was far from ordinary. Buffy moved with a grace that was only told of in stories, there was no way in which a human being could move that fast or with that much grace. She was completely in the offensive and all that Snape could do was try and avoid the sword that Buffy was swinging with such deadly grace. He didn't last long, only about five minutes, which surprised Buffy a bit. Upon looking how ever her mind flashed yet again to the night, where she had been standing in a position just like this. Where she had been holding a sword over a man with black hair and pale skin. The only difference was the man that was now before her was not Angel. His face as she had plunged the sword into him flashed yet again before her eyes and she could no longer help but let the tears overflow from her eyes.
The End (for now)
WhiteWolf 3 - thank you, and I hope that you continue reading my story and writing your own.

Heather - Yes this is taking part right after the end of season 2, I can't write really chipper fanfic it doesn't come out right.
Wbulldogs - Thanks so much for the review, I had to call the owl that, it wasn't really planned it just popped into my head and figured maybe someone would see it as cute like me.
