Summary/Time Lines: What if Buffy had always been a witch and lived in England, where she had found out about Slayers before she became one? I'm having Buffy going to Hogwarts with Charlie and Bill and such, but don't worry, everyone else will be added in there. So obviously this is AU because I'm messing with both stories quite a bit, but it should turn out well and make sense. Also if I've got the amount of years that the Weasley children are apart in age and at school wrong I'm very sorry.
Author's Note: Well here's the story. Hope you enjoy. Also please read and review. I'm open for constructive criticism, but please no flames.

Classes
After everyone was done eating and the food had disappeared from the plates the prefects were to lead the first years to their house common rooms. A petite African American girl, who had her smooth black hair in a braid, stood up in front of the Gryffindor table.
"Welcome first years. My name is Bonnie Thomas. I'm a Gryffindor prefect. If you follow me I'll take you to the Gryffindor common room," she said in a strong voice.
The new Gryffindors, Buffy, Faith, Kandice, Nikole, Bridget, Charlie, Thomas, Ryan, Joseph, and Oz, followed Bonnie out of the Great Hall and up the giant marble staircase. Some of the students gasped as they saw pictures and portraits waving and talking to them. Bonnie led them up to the seventh floor until they reached the Fat Lady portrait.
"Humbug," Bonnie stated.
The Fat Lady nodded her head and swung the portrait open. Bonnie led them into the common room that was filled with high backed red chairs and red leather couches with gold embroidery.
"This is the Gryffindor common room," Bonnie said gesturing around the room, "The stairs on the left goes to the boys' dormitories. And the stairs on the right lead to the girls' dormitories."
Bonnie then left them and walked up the set of stairs on the right. They heard a door close and then suddenly the common room was filled with noise. People were talking and showing each other things. The portrait hole opened again and then everyone from 2nd through 7th year came into the room. They all smiled and nodded at the 1st years and sat down or went and stood around.
"Hi, I'm Nikole," a girl with shoulder length black curly hair said walking up to Buffy.
"I'm Buffy," Buffy smiled.
"What's with that girl?" a girl with long blonde hair asked pointing to Faith.
"I'm sorry?" Buffy questioned.
"Oh, hi, I'm Bridget. You're Buffy right?"
"Y-yeah."
"Nice to meet you. Well what's up with that girl?"
Buffy, Nikole, and Bridget looked over at Faith. She pushed her way past a group of 5th years, who gave her some dirty looks, and stalked up the stairs.
"I think she has family issues," Kandice said, joining them, "Did you see the way she and her brother looked at each other? Like they wanted to rip each other's throat out?"
"Yeah, yeah I noticed that," Nikole agreed.
"Think it's some family rivalry between the houses? I mean maybe brother's and sister's have always been split up."
"Or maybe," Buffy suggested, "they never get split up."
"That's kinda cryptic," Bridget said.
"Yeah, well it could be true."
With that the four girls headed up the stairs and to the 1st year girls' dormitory. Buffy opened the door and looked for her trunk. She found it and flopped down on the bed by which it was sitting. The other three girls did the same. Buffy looked over and saw Faith reading a book. Buffy looked at the book that Faith was reading; it was their book for the class Dangerous Creatures and Beings.
Faith felt Buffy staring at her. She sighed and put down Dangerous and Magical Creatures. She looked at Buffy and gave her a grim expression; "Do you mind?"
"Sorry," Buffy said looking away.
"Whatever," Faith said.
Faith picked up the book and put it on her dresser. She quickly got into her pajamas and got under the covers. She pulled the hangings on the four poster bed around her and quickly fell asleep.
"Can you say crabby?" Bridget said.
"I can hear you!" Faith growled.
------
The next day at breakfast everyone got his or her class schedules. Buffy looked down at her schedule as everyone else did.
"What do we have this today?" Bridget asked while eating her porridge.
"Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, double Dangerous Creatures and Beings, and Transfiguration," Buffy replied.
Bridget groaned and continued eating her porridge. Kandice stared at her in shock, "Why are you groaning? We get two class periods with Professor O' Brien!" With this Kandice and Nikole started giggling.
------
"Professor Snape is awful," Bridget hissed.
"Isn't he? Well he seemed to like the Slytherins," Nikole agreed.
"Ya, but that's 'cos he's the head of Slytherin."
Buffy, Bridget, Nikole, and Kandice walked in silence to the next class until some screams broke the silence. They all whipped around and saw Holly Yang and Michael Lestrange cornering Faith. Faith didn't show any sign of being scared, but everyone around them was screaming as their wands and books flew out of the hands and rammed into other people. Holly laughed as she saw a book fly into Tara McClay's face and made her fall over. Xander went over and helped Tara up, the whole time giving Holly dirty looks. Holly smirked at him and turned back to Faith.
Faith raised her wand, but Michael yelled, "Expelliarmus!" Faith's wand then went flying, right into Willow's face. Holly laughed even harder at the display. Michael then raised his wand again, but before he could say a word Buffy shouted, "Expelliarmus!" and his wand went flying into Holly's face. Faith took this moment of distraction and kicked Michael in the back of his legs. He fell onto his face and she jumped over him. She grabbed her books and took off running down the hall to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Some people started clapping and picked up their books and wands. Everyone then quieted down and headed to their next class. Buffy turned around and saw three sets of eyes staring at her in shock.
"What?" Buffy questioned.
"Why'd you help her?" Kandice asked.
"'Cos she needed it."
"Whatever," Nikole said turning around and walking to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Buffy looked at Bridget, expecting her to make some sarcastic comment. Bridget looked at her and said, "That was nice of you to help her, no one else was."
Buffy smiled at Bridget and they walked off to Defense Against the Dark Arts. The class was with the Ravenclaws. As they sat down Professor Giles walked into the room. He was wearing dark brown robes and was carrying a hat and wand at his side. He walked behind his desk, put his things down, and then walked over to a black board.
"Good morning class," he said, "I'm Professor Giles. Please take out your quills and parchment. We will be taking notes today."
Some of the class groaned and the rest pulled out the required material.
"Can anyone tell me about the Erkling?"
As Giles asked this question the chalk flew up to the top of the board and wrote 'Erkling' and continued hovering there. A few people's hands shot up; Willow's was the first up in the air.
"Miss Rosenberg," Giles said.
"The Erkling is and elf like creature. They come from the Black Forest in Germany. It's about three feet high with a pointed face and a high-pitched cackle. The cackle is used to draw children away from their families and to it so the Erkling can eat the child. Erkling killings have reduced rapidly in the last few centuries."
As Willow said this, the chalk was quickly writing all the main points on the board. Giles nodded and looked at the board and then at the students.
"I'll give you a few minutes to write down the information which is on the board and then we'll continue."
Everyone quickly scrawled the notes that were on the board on their piece of parchment. When they were done they looked up at Giles.
"How about the werewolf?"
Again a few hands shot into the air as 'Werewolf' was written across the top of the board.
"Mr. Osbourne," Giles said nodding at Oz.
"The werewolf is found all over the world, even though it is believed to have been originated in northern Europe. Humans turn into werewolves when another werewolf bites them. There is no known cure, but there are potions to calm down the symptoms. The werewolf changes three nights a month, not just on the day of the full moon, but they day before and after."
"Thank you."
Everyone again looked up at the board and wrote down the notes. They went through a few other creatures and the bell rang. As everyone got up Giles called, "Tomorrow we will be discussing kappas and vampires."
They all quickly filed out of the room and headed toward their Dangerous Creatures and Beings class, which was being held in the dungeon. The Gryffindor's had this class with the Hufflepuffs. As they walked into the room there were lit torches hanging on the window-less walls. There were black chairs and couches through out the room. The students quickly walked in and sat down. A few minutes after everyone had sat down Professor O'Brien walked in. He was wearing black robes and no hat. He sat down behind his desk and looked at the staring class. Most of the girls seemed to be having the time of their life. Xander sat there, glowering at Professor O'Brien.
"This class," Angel started, "is Dangerous Creatures and Beings. I'm going to teach you how to defeat dangerous creatures and beings the muggle way because you might not have your wand handy or wands may not work in a particular case. We're going to be starting with the vampire."
Angel stood up and walked over to the chalkboard and scrawled 'Vampire' across the top. He turned and faced the class; "Does anyone know a muggle way to defeat a vampire?"
The class stared at him, not knowing the answer to his question. He sighed and again scrawled something across the board. As he turned away everyone saw that he had written 'wooden stake'. He went over to his desk, opened a drawer, and pulled out a stake.
"This is a stake," he said holding it up to the class, "To kill the vampire with the wooden stake you have to plunge it into it's heart. The vampire will then turn into dust, no muss no fuss."
He then turned to the chalkboard and wrote a few more words; 'sunlight', 'fire' and 'decapitation'.
"You can push the vampire into direct sunlight and it'll burst into flames and turn to dust. Setting it on fire is the same basic concept. And decapitation works as well."
Xander's hand shot up into the air.
"Yes?" Angel asked.
"Is there like a professional vampire killer? 'Cos they have those werewolf hunters and stuff."
"Actually there is, the Vampire Slayer. The Vampire Slayer is a girl," Angel picked up and book and quoted, "'In each generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness...She is the Slayer.' Slayer lore."
Before anyone could ask any questions Professor O'Brien continued with ways to kill and deflect a vampire. By the end of double class they had over three pages full of vampire protection.
"That was interesting," Nikole commented as they walked into the sunlight.
"I thought it was neat," Buffy said blinking back the sunlight.
"Could you imagine being a Slayer? Having to kill vampires and monsters and stuff. It'd be weird."
Buffy nodded and headed off to the Great Hall for lunch.
