The Slayer, A Soulful Vampire, and An Unknown School
Disclaimer: You know that I don't own Buffy and her characters, like Dawn and Angel, their Joss Whedon and the entire HP characters are JK Rowlings, so yeah.
A/N Sorry that this chapter has taken. what. three. four months to update. School's been really tough and I haven't had any spare time what so ever. but thanks to all the people that read and reviewed my story! It's why I write.
Special thanks to WhiteWolf3: I think that I will hit Conner over the head a fair bit because it adds to the flirtingness. The rest of your comment gave me some inspiration. Feel Proud.
Here We Go!

Secrets Revealed
"Is one of you a vampire?" the girl asked.
Buffy and Angel just stared at the four students.
Angel came out of the trance that he and Buffy seemed to be in.
"What makes you think that?"
The one Dawn called Harry spoke first, "Well first of all, the room is dark and you said yourself: vampires burn up in sunlight."
Ron spoke up next to continue for Harry. " And both of you didn't eat anything for dinner in the Great Hall. Hermione was watching you both."
Hermione sheepishly blushed.
Ron continued. "And she also told us that vampires don't eat food like regular people. They need to drink. *coughbloodcough*. to survive."
"So," Buffy replied. "Which one of us do you think is the vampire?"
Angel smiled.
"We're not sure. That's why we went to ask you personally," Hermione said. "For all we know it could be neither or both of you."
"How come you're not afraid of vampires? You should be," Angel asked. "They can be extremely dangerous. Especially if you confront them."
"Yes professor, normally I would be quite frightened, but I trust Dumbledore with m life and he wouldn't hire anyone that would endanger the lives of the students. I mean two years ago we had a werewolf for our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. He was really good too."
Angel replied. "I'll tell you what. We will give fifty points to Gryffindor if you can give us the correct answer to which one of us, if at all, is the vampire."
Dawn couldn't help herself. She was already snorting with laughter.
Harry, Ron and Hermione all stared at Dawn giggling.
"And Dawn. no helping them." Buffy turned to the three inquisitive students.
"Now, we will give you until tomorrow to research. Dawn you can't help. If we find out that you told them or hinted anything to them, well just remember what I do every night." Buffy winked.
Dawn glared at her. "Ya. I'm shaking in my boots."
"Dawn!" Hermione shouted surprised. "She maybe your sister, but she's still a professor. She still deserves a certain amount of respect."
Dawn rolled her eyes.
Buffy replied Hermione, "I like this girl." Hermione beamed as Buffy continued. "You know what. I feel nice today so tell ya what. I'll give you a hint."
Ron, Hermione and Harry perked up to listen to the clue that could give them a great head start on winning the house cup.
Buffy continued. "Check out a place called Sunnydale in America."
The three students quickly left to go to the library, leaving Dawn with the two Professors.
Dawn looked from Buffy to Angel. She could see them falling in love again from the way Buffy gazed at Angel. She quickly looked away at the sight of him.
"I'm. gunna go. now," Dawn said quickly before running out of the classroom.
Buffy watched her go out at a run, then turned to the brooding vamp standing next to her.
"Sorry about that. Dawn's still a little uneasy about you. being here. It's because she was so upset when you left that second time. The time that I didn't kill you. She's had a lot of men that she cared about leave her. Her dad, you, Riley. It's just been really tough for her," Buffy explained.
"Yeah, I totally understand. Its hard for some people to trust others again. Or more like trusting yourself to open up your heart and trust people," Angel replied coolly.
"I hope she'll come around. I hate seeing her like this," Buffy said worried.
"Don't worry. I'll talk to her later," Angel said as he walked out of the class, but not before taking one last look at the first woman he ever loved.
"I'll see you later Buffy."
"Alright. See you."
**************************
Dawn hurried off, not caring where she was going, but she just wanted to be away. Angel brought too many memories back (even though she knew they weren't hers.) Mostly the horrible ones where Angel lost his soul or when he left Dawn without saying goodbye. Seeing them together, all happy, it's just a matter of time before one of them realizes they can't be together. Dawn could see it in their eyes. They were in love again.
Dawn found herself in the Entrance to the Great Hall, almost totally hysterical in tears.
Conner happened to be in the Great Hall brooding alone in a corner where he saw Dawn just outside ready to bawl.
Conner slowly, surreptitiously crept over to find out what was the matter.
"Dawn? Are you OK?" Conner questioned.
"Um. yeah I'm fine," Dawn replied wiping tears away from her face. "Its just that. oh nevermind."
"OK. Buffy if it involves Angel, I could go beat him up for you if you want. Really. I have no problem with that."
That made Dawn smile. "How did you know?"
"You have the Angel is an ass face. I know it well. Used it myself a couple times. Pretty much invented it."
Dawn laughed, but this made Dawn wonder. "Conner?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you hate Angel so much? I mean he is you father. I know why I hate him. He ran away from his home, broke Buffy's heart and tried to kill all of my friends. What's your story?"
"Promise not to say anything to you dorky little friends?"
"They're not dorky, but alright."
"Well, when I was born, or when Darla staked herself, a guy Angel tortured way back when, who was brought back to the future for revenge on him, stole me and took me to a hell dimension. There, time moves much more quickly, hence me not being a month or whatever old. The guys name was Holtz."
Dawn's eyes got wider in amazement.
"Yeah well, he raised me as his own son, and told me as I grew up about the murderous fiend that was my real father. He said how Angel murdered Holtz's wife, and two children, but made one daughter a vampire so that Holtz would have to kill her. I eventually came back to this dimension and Holtz came after me. Angel told me he was good now, but I didn't believe him. When Holtz mysteriously died, I blamed Angel, put him in a coffin and sent him to the bottom of the ocean to live out eternity. When he got back from the help of Wesley, that's when the real fireworks started."
Dawn stared at him with her mouth wide open, almost drooling.
Conner just sat there, amazed that he told his life story in under 5 minutes. He didn't know why he wanted to help her feel better. He wasn't normally like the comforting, reliable guy you look to for advice.
"Wow," Dawn said. "That must have been really hard."
"Hard doesn't begin to describe it, but yeah I guess it was."
Both of them stood silent for a while until Conner spoke.
"So Dawn. want to go get some food?"
"Umm sure."
Conner helped Dawn up and they both walked into the Great Hall together.
Little did they know that Buffy was watching them from the stairs below.
Buffy said to herself. "Those two are really hitting it off! They look so cute together, but it's so sad about what Conner had to go through. Dawn will be good for him."
She sighed and wandered off to Angel.

End of Chapter
Sooooo.. How did ya think of it? I thought it was a bit slow. but I had to get through the boring stuff with explaining to Dawn of why Conner is so. independent. I also wanted to get the bond between Conner and Dawn as well. Just so you know, Dawn and Conner both had free periods and Buffy and Angel had a spare class as well, so they weren't skipping class. Also, I don't really want this story to focus on Dawn and Conner, although they will be in it a lot. Ill get Buffy and Angel to get some more kissing action in later and spice things up with a new character. Surprises are waiting!!! PS Ill be updating more frequently since summer started.
