Buffy waited outside with Faith and Dawn for Angle to come.She could tell that the fight was getting closer and they needed all the help they could get.

"Can we stop this?" Dawn asked out of nowhere.

"Well this like our tenth apocolypse and we've survived them all. This should be elementry." Buffy said.

"Besides look at the army on ourside." Faith said.

Dawn stood up "I'm gonna go check on Xander. I think he's scared about DUmbledore fixing his eye."

Buffy and Faith nodded.Dawn left them to theirselves.It was quiet for a few minutes before Buffy broke the silence.

"Thanks for helpping us out. I mean after everything thats happened in the past it's good to know we always end up back where we started, on the same side."

"No prob B. We'll always be 5 by 5?"

"I've always wanted to know ,what the hell does that mean?"

Faith laughed "I don't know I just thought it sounded good."

Buffy started laughing too till she saw Angle come through the gate with Wesley, Fred, and Cordelia.

"Is this all thats coming?" Faith asked.

"For now. The others are staying behind with the potentials." Angle said giving Buffy a hug, then Faith.

"Come on we'll introduce you to Dumbledore first and then the others who are fighting later." Buffy said.

"Okay but first let me introduce you to Connor."

A boy stepped out from behind Wesley. He was sorta tall with long brown hair, and a lot of Angle's looks.

"He's my son."

Buffy was to say the least stunned. "Well welcome to the club."

"Yeah." was all he said before following everyone into the castle.

"Not very friendly is he?" Faith whispered to Buffy who just shook her head.


Around 11 o'clock that evening there was an emergency meeting called in the Great Hall which the order, and all the students who were involved attended.

"So Dawn what's it like being the slayer's sister?" Harry asked as he sat down by her.

"Annoying on some days, but on a good day it's really cool. I wish Spike was here though, he would've wanted to fight."

"Who's Spike?"

"Oh he was another Vampire with a soul, kinda like Angle. He really loved my sister but her died when we fought the first in Sunnydale. He was wearing this amulet that turned his soul into a bright light that was bright enough to kill all the Turokoks, these Uber Vamps before they could come up from the hellmouth and take over."

"Wow. You've had an interesting life haven't you?" Harry asked fasinated.

Dawn nodded "I guess you could say that. From what I here though your life wasn't exactly dull. Infact I bet we're a lot alike."

Harry looked into her eyes "Yeah I bet we are. Maybe we could hang out in Hogsmead sometime."

Dawn smiled "I'd like that."

"Okay People! By the way Xander very cool eye." Buffy started as Xander stood up to take a bow." I'd like you all to meet Angle, Fred, Cordelia, Wesley, and Connor. They're here to help us also. Cordelia's a seer, and Angle is a Vamp with a soul, and the rest our just as good of fighters as everyone else."

"Now on to pressing matters. Earlier today the first made itself known to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I think we should start getting ready because the fight could be at anytime." Dumbledore said.

Everyone agreed. After a long meeting on what to expect and what to do if you came in contact with any sort of evil everyone fially rolled into bed around 2:30 in the morning.

Draco followed Hermione to her room and thats where he stayed the evening. Hermione decide she wouldn't have it any other way.

"Draco I want you to know, just incase something hapens in this war that I've loved you for a very long time." Hermione said as they crawled into bed.

"Mione don't. You sound like you know you may die, and your not going to. I've loved you since the time in 3rd year when you punched me. We've lived through a lot, and we'll live through this too." Draco said crawling in beside her, and then pulling the covers around them.

"Just never let me go."

"Promise." Draco said kissing her goodnight but not stopping there. They shared their second night of bliss that evening, and thought of the many more to come.


The next morning training for Ginny, and Hermione went into overload as the others joined them. Faith and Buffy were teaching Andrew, Dawn, Ron, Harry, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, Draco, Connor, Fred W, George, Dean, Seamus, and Neville how to combat fight also.

"Ok Faith you take half, and Ginny, and I'lll take the other half and Hermione." Buffy said. They split up and went to 2 seperate sides of the training room that Dumbledore put in for them.

"If the first wantsa battle we'll definatley give it one." Giles said taking noted on everyones success, and everyone's weakness.

Angle came into the session after dumbledore put a charm on him so the sun wouldn't hurt him as long as he stayed inside the castle.He walked over to Buffy and pulled something out of his pocket.

" I thought I should show you this. It came the day before we left." He handed it to her, and everyone gathered around to see what it was.

"It's the Amulet that Spike had on the day Sunnydale was demolished."

She looked at it closer when it started to glow bright red. She dropped it as started to smoke, and then it burst and a red light shone throughout the whole room. When the light cleared Buffy almost passed out.

"Spike?"

Spike looked around at his surroundings then at Buffy "Slayer?"

"Oh my God! Spike!" Dawn yelled as she hugged him.

"Hey lil bit. How did I get here?"

"We'll ask Dumbledore. Either way I'm glad your okay." Buffy said hugging him.

Spike saw Angle "Hey peaches."

"You may have been dead for awhile but don't call me that." Angle said as he shook Spike's hand.

"So what's been going on?"Spike asked seeing all the new faces. "And by the by where are we?"

"We're at Hogwarts in England. We're still trying to defeat the first."

Spike's jaw dropped. "You mean me dying again was a waste of time?"

Buffy laughed "Same ol' Spike."

"Come on Spike let me show you around." Giles said putting the same charm on him that was done to Angle.

Angle turned to Buffy "This may just get a bit interesting." He then walked out to follow.

"Great. After we fight the first we can watch Spike, and Angle duke it out." Faith said.Buffy pushed faith playfully, and they all got back to work.
