SPIKE

"Hey, bit! What's wrong?" I asked Dawn when I saw her sitting on the couch.

"Just the fact that Hermione is leaving. We became good friends in the two weeks I knew her," Dawn told me.

"So where's Buffy?" I asked.

"Out patrolling."

I nodded and then went out in search of the Slayer. I was almost at the graveyard when I felt someone grab my arm. "There you are!" a voice said.

I turned around and saw a bushy haired girl looking at me. "What?" I questioned.

"C'mon Draco we got to get on the plane!" she urged.

"Now you are loony! There is no way I'm getting on a plane with a stranger that's going who knows where!" I exclaimed.

The girl then grabbed me and started leading me somewhere. "I don't know what's up with you but if I find out that this is part of your plan to give me a bad grade, I will personally kill you!" she ranted.

" A lot of good that'll do!" I mumbled.

"What?"

"Let go of me! I'll go with you as long as it doesn't involve wooden stakes!" I told her.

"What is that supposed to mean?" she asked.

"It means that I DON'T want you trying to kill me!" I replied.

"Fine," she said.

When we got on the plane she said, "Here you can sit by the window, Draco!"

Great that way when the sun comes up, I can commit vampiric suicide. It would be the perfect ending to the perfect day. I obliged only because I didn't want to get on this girl's bad side.

I glanced down at the girl's bag and saw that 'Hermione' was written on it. So that was her name! Around 7:30 I pulled the blinds down so that I would be safe from the sun's dangerous rays. Luckily for me, Hermione didn't notice that I pulled them down. She was too busy reading a magazine. "So what are you reading?" I asked.

"You wouldn't be interested!" she snapped.

"Oh, come on, love, how fair is that?" I questioned.

"Oh, please! I'm not your love! And FYI this magazine's all about soaps like 'Passions'. You know the 'stupidest show in the world'?" Hermione retorted.

I smiled. Now here was my kind of girl. "You watch Passions too? I love that show! I try not to miss an episode!" I told her.

Hermione frowned and gave me The Look. "Right. If you love it so much why did you tell me that you hated it yesterday?"

"Great, just great! This is the perfect place to be! I mean I love being near graveyards at 11:00 o'clock at night," I mumbled to myself when I found myself near a graveyard.

Cemeteries have always creeped me out. Right now, I would be glad to be watching Granger's stupid muggle show instead of out here. Just then, I saw a blonde girl walking through the cemetery. 'What a stupid idiot!' I thought.

"Hey Spike!" the girl called as she ran up to me.

Spike? I've been called lots of things in my lifetime but—Spike?! That's just crazy. "Hey!" I replied uneasily.

"Is something wrong?" the girl asked. "Is it Dawn? What?"

I glared at her. Didn't she know that we had never met? Oh, well. "Don't you know that it's completely dark out here? Of course it's not dawn!" I snapped.

She smiled. "C'mon Spike this is no time for jokes about being a vampire."

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

This is the weirdest, most intriguing conversation that I've had in weeks. "Oh, don't play stupid with me!" she retorted. "I'm talking about the crack you made about Dawn."

I laughed. Dawn was a person! People should learn to give their kids real names. "I'd love to stay and chat but I've got to get back to the hotel so I don't miss the plane ride back home!" I told her.

Blondie came out of the cemetery and put her hand on my shoulder. "Plane ride to where?"

Okay, so now she's interested in my problems? Man, girls are strange. "London!" I told her simply.

"Rightio! Let me take you to my house first," Blondie told me.

"Why?" I questioned.

There is no way I'm going to a stranger's house just so she can kill me. "I've got somethin' for you!"

So, I followed Blondie to her house.

SPIKE

"Hey Malfoy!" a voice said followed by a poke.

I opened my eyes to see Hermione looking at me. Apparently she had mistaken my for this Draco bloke. "What?" I questioned.

"We're here at Hogwarts! Now come on!" she urged.

I got up and followed Hermione off the plane. As soon as I did, I saw a huge castle that looked as if it was over 1,000 years old. "Wow!" I said in awe.

Hermione rolled her eyes as she replied, "It looks the same as when we left two weeks ago!"

I sighed. How do you reply to THAT? "Right!" I mumbled as I followed her inside.

"MALFOY! Quit following me! Why do you want to visit the Gryffindor dorms anyway?" Hermione yelled after I had been following her for five minutes.

Okay now I'm confused. I've heard of Gryffins—some lion creature—but Gryffindor? Is it some room shaped like a lion? "Hey Malfoy!" a voice yelled interrupting my thoughts.

A brown haired boy had walked up to us. "Hey!" I replied.

"What the bloody hell are you thinking?" the boy asked in shock.

"I was just making sure that Hermione makes it to her dorm safely," I replied.

"Oh, relax Blaise! I've handled him fine for two weeks haven't I?" Hermione told him.

Blaise shook his head. "C'mon Draco!"

I then followed Blaise. "So, what's up with you?" he asked.

"What are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"Being nice to a Gryffindor! Duh!" Blaise replied.

I shrugged as Blaise led me to a portrait. "Boer," Blaise said and then it opened up and I followed him inside.

"Oh, Drakkie! Was it awful?" a girl asked as she hugged me.

Okay! This girl needs to get a life or a boyfriend. Actually, she reminds me of Harmony and that's not a good thing. "Oh, sod off!" I half-yelled as I pushed her off of me.

"What's wrong Draco? Is it Granger?" the girl asked.

"Oh, please!" I retorted.

"I think the trip made you a little cranky."

She then attempted to kiss me while running her hands across my back. I pushed her away and said, "I'm sorry, pet, but I don't like you like that. I'm in love with someone else!"

The girl then stomped off muttering something about 'Granger!' Whew am I glad to get rid of her. "So who's the lucky girl?" Blaise asked.

"What?" I questioned.

"Well, you said you were in love so who is she? Is it Hermione Granger?" Blaise interrogated.

"No!" I replied quickly.

"Oooh quick denial! I think Draco's in loooove!" Blaise said.

"I'm in love with a girl you wouldn't know," I told him.

"Oh, so is she older or younger?" Blaise questioned.

"Younger," I replied as I walked with Blaise to the dorms.

I laid on Draco's bed and began to think about tomorrow. How in the world is a vampire supposed to act like a human? I guess I could act like Draco as long as it didn't involve me committing suicide. If it did, I would just have to give them a reason why I couldn't go outside or whatever.
