A/N: Yay people reviewed! Thanks so much; I love you all!

DruWentToBermuda: I'm glad you like it :D And I like your new penname, even though I don't really get it, lol. But it's still cool.

Beboppin' Betty: Thanks! I hope you like where I go with it...

Prettybeka: Who says there are going to be pairings? And why do you automatically think it'll be H/R?

Cheysuli: Aw, you'll still read it? Don't worry, though. I don't even know if there'll be pairings!

Oh, and lets just pretend that Spike isn't in a wheelchair, and that The Judge never existed (instead Buffy and Angel had to fight a group of powerful vamps or something), okay? Or else everything'll get all complicated and blah. Also, I'm trying to remember the actual scenes from Buffy when she doesn't know where Angel is as best I can, but I don't have the best memory so we'll see how it goes...

Disclaimer: I don't own a single smidgen of what's going on. Except for the general idea, that is.

Chapter Two

"Is Angel with you?"

Buffy had just entered the library to find it full of her friends but minus Angel. They apparently thought he would be with her.

"No, I thought he checked in with you guys," Buffy responded to Jenny Calendar's question.

"What happened to you guys last night?" Willow asked, a look of concern painted across her pale face.

Buffy explained about her and Angel's fight with the large group of unusually powerful vampires.

"Why didn't you two contact us?" Giles asked Buffy, looking equally concerned as Willow.

"Well we... Had to go into hiding- in the sewers and we were split up..." Buffy tried to explain quickly and avoid any unwanted questions. "You sure you don't know where Angel is?"

"No," Giles responded. "You four should get to class."

"I'll search the web for information on those vampires," Ms. Calendar informed Giles.

"And I'll come back and research," Xander responded, waving an old book around.

Meanwhile, Drusilla and Spike had just been informed by Angel himself that Angel was no longer Angel. He was again Angelus, a soulless vampire.

"Everything in my head is singing!" Drusilla said softly standing on the table. She stepped off with the help of Angel. "We're a family again! We'll feed," she told him before turning to Spike. "And we'll play."

"This is great!" Spike was crying. "Now that you're not the slayer's lap dog anymore..."

Angelus growled in Spike's face before kissing his forehead. Spike laughed loudly. They were ecstatic. Their group had been reunited and they could wreak havoc in the town of Sunnydale all together once again.

"Dru and I want to destroy the world," Spike explained, smoking a cigarette.

"I want to kill the slayer," Angelus growled menacingly.

"Well she's in the world, so that works out great," Spike said cheerfully, sucking on his cigarette again.

"No let's leave," Angelus decided, hopping up from the table that he had temporarily settled down on. "Let's leave Sunnydale for good. I'm sick of being here with the slayer and her stupid gang of friends. Let's leave."

"Well, if that's how you want it..." Spike said, slightly confused. "But why? You just got back."

"I know, but I hate it here already," Angelus explained. "First let me have a little chat with the slayer. Then we can go." With that he left the room without another word.

"Angel!" she cried, her eyes brimming with tears. She had wondered where he was for so long, and finally he had turned up. He hugged her back but spoke nonchalantly, as though not understanding her fear and concern.

"Hey, Buffy," Angelus responded, not exactly caring to act like the brooding Angel he once was.

"Oh, Angel, I was so worried," Buffy whispered, shedding warm tears into his shoulder.

"It's alright, Buffy," he responded. "Well, I have to go." He pulled apart from her.

"What? Already?" she looked at him with wet eyes.

"I have to go, kiddo," Angelus explained, putting on his shirt. "I've been here for too long. Maybe I'll call you sometime."

"W-wait- what?" Buffy breathed, confused. What was Angel saying? He was acting as though he wasn't himself today for some reason. What was going on?

"I have to go," Angelus said, grabbing his coat and putting a hand on the door. "Jeez, you have a lot to learn about men- although I guess you proved that last night." He opened the door and started out. "Maybe I'll call you sometime." And then he was gone.

He left her alone once again, leaving her to sit, wallowing in the mingling thoughts that skipped around her head tauntingly. He doesn't love you. He never loved you. It was all a joke. Something's wrong. Everyone has their heart broken once. Go after him. Chase after him. This isn't Angel.

SHUT UP!

"Well, she's taken care of," Angelus informed Dru and Spike. "Ah, I love being back. Breaking hearts. Soon to be breaking necks. You gotta love this life."

Spike chuckled. "Where are we off to then? LA?"

"No, let's go far away..." Angelus said, staring into the distance. "To another country."

"We're a family..." Dru babbled in the background. But no one was listening. "Families travel. It's normal. We're a happy family..."

"Lets just improvise," Angelus decided.

A/N: I wanted to give some background information on what happened before Spike, Dru, and Angelus left. But I don't want to do too much focusing on them, I want this to be mostly an HP fic taking place at Hogwarts, unless people really, really, really want more Buffy stuff. I mean, obviously there'll be stuff about Spike, Dru, and Angelus but not in Sunnydale. I pretty much don't want to write a lot in Sunnydale, unless people strongly object. Review please!
