Title: More Than a Witch

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this. Joss Whedon owns all Buffy related things and JK Rowling owns all Harry Potter related things. Also JK Rowling's new HP book (5th one) ROCKS! Great job on it! If you haven't read it..read it!
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.

Dreams and Slayers
By the end of the day everyone was talking about Professor O'Brien's lesson. Rumors even started spreading through out the houses. A 5th year told Buffy that Professor O'Brien was actually a vampire. Buffy laughed at that and said, "Like that'd ever happen. You think Dumbledore would let a vampire teach here?"
After eating dinner everyone headed up to the common room. People were spread out, doing their homework or talking. Buffy, Bridget, Charlie and Oz were standing towards the back of the room discussing Dangerous Creatures and Beings. Nikole, Kandice, Thomas, Ryan, and Joseph, who were towards the front of the room, were trying to hex each other. Faith was sitting in the corner, face buried in a book.
"Why do you think he went into such a big subject on the first day?" Charlie questioned.
"I dunno," Oz said, leaning against a wall.
"Maybe he wants to start out big so everyone thinks he's a cool teacher?" Buffy suggested.
"I think he's already got that down. Well at least with the female population he does," Bridget commented.
With this Charlie and Oz rolled their eyes. Buffy laughed at the display and then yawned. She stretched her arms and said, "Hey guys I'm gonna turn in. See you tomorrow."
They all said goodnight and Buffy mounted the stairs. She walked into the 1st year's dormitory and opened her trunk. She quickly pulled off her school clothes and put her pajamas on. She slipped under the covers and pulled the curtains closed around her. She drifted off to sleep, thinking she'd have nothing to dream about. Boy was she wrong.
------
*There was screaming, which was quickly cut short. Silence then engulfed the dark, balmy night. There was a rustling of leaves and a girl with shoulder length red hair stepped out of the bushes. She looked around the area with her bright green eyes taking in every detail. She heard something fall to the ground, which sounded like a bomb in the too silent night. She pulled out a stake and stealthily walked toward the clearing where she heard the thing--whatever it was--fall. She peeked through some trees and saw a vampire standing over a body of a 16-year-old girl. Before she could do anything her sides cramped up and the hairs on the back of her neck started tingling.
She whipped around and came face to face with a paler than pale creature. The creature growled and lunged at her. She ducked and the monster went flying over her head. She did a back flip, landing on the creature's stomach. The thing of darkness vamped out and pushed her off of him. She went flying and crashed into a tree. She looked up and saw the vamp loping over toward her. She pushed herself up onto her feet and ran at it. She pulled her arm back and when she got close enough she slammed her fist into its jaw, which broke on contact. The vampire howled in pain and clutched its jaw. Using this moment of hesitance she staked it.
Before she could move the other vampire, which had heard the commotion, came running over. He rammed into her, and she again went flying and hit her head on a rock. Instead of stopping the vamp fell and landed right on top of the girl's stake, impaling himself, and dusted. Before she could get up Carla the Vampire Slayer passed out.*

Buffy woke up with a start. Breathing heavily she pushed the curtain open. She saw that the drapes were all closed on everyone's bed, except for Faith, who was staring at Buffy with fear. Buffy's eyes widened as she saw the fear on Faith's face.
"Are you OK?" Faith asked.
"Excuse me?" Buffy questioned.
"You were yelling in your sleep, I'm surprised it didn't wake anyone up. You were trashing and it looked like some sort of wild animal was attacking you. I was just about to come wake you up."
"Y-y-yeah I'm fine. Bad dream, that's all. Talk about vampires and stuff kinda gave me the wiggins."
"OK, well goodnight," with that Faith closed her curtains and settled into bed.
"That had to be the weirdest dream ever," Buffy muttered as she again closed her curtains.
------
"Morning Faith," Buffy said as she walked past Faith in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Faith nodded at Buffy and continued reading her book. Buffy sat down in her chair between Bridget and Nikole. Kandice leaned around Nikole, "I take it you two have an understanding?"
"Yeah, I guess you could put it that way."
Before anyone could say anything else Professor Giles walked into the room. Kandice quickly faced forward in her chair. Giles quickly walked up to the chalkboard and enchanted a new piece of chalk. He faced the class and gestured for them to open their notebooks and take out their quills.
"Kappas," he stated, "Can anyone tell me about them?"
Bridget's hand shot up; she was the only one who raised her hand.
"Miss Jones."
"The Kappa is a Japanese water demon. They live in shallow ponds and rivers. It has a hollow on its head that is filled with water. The Kappa feeds on human blood, but will not harm the person if the person throws a cucumber to it with the human's name carved on it. The wizard can also trick it into bowing, then all the water will fall out of its head and it will lose all its strength."
"Thank you, 10 points to Gryffindor."
Bridget beamed and looked up at the chalkboard where notes were written.
"How did you know that? Hardly anyone knew what a Kappa is," Nikole asked.
"My uncle lives in Japan," Bridget answered.
A few minutes later the notes disappeared and it was replaced by the word 'Vampire'. Giles went to speak but before he could Buffy quickly raised her hand.
"Miss Summers," Giles nodded.
"Professor Giles, can you tell us about the Vampire Slayer?" Buffy questioned.
The class quickly quieted down and looked from Buffy to Giles. Giles sighed and went behind his desk. He opened a drawer and pulled out a book. He quickly flipped through the pages and then stopped. He read down the page and then looked up at the class.
"The Slayer is a mystical creature. The Slayer is always a girl, the Chosen One, she alone stands against the vampires and forces of darkness. There is a Chosen One in each generation. She also has a Watcher. It is the Watcher's job to train and educate her in the ways of the Slayer. The Watcher works for the Council. The Council is in charge of the Slayer, the Watcher and to-be-Watchers."
Willow's hand shot up, "Are they, the Slayers and Watchers, witches and wizards?"
"Occasionally. If they aren't the Watcher normally has knowledge in the area of magicks."
Cordelia slipped her hand up, "Slayers aren't real."
"Excuse me?"
"They're not real."
"Why do you say that Miss Chase?"
"Have you ever *seen* a Slayer?"
"No-''
"Exactly."
"But Miss Chase just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it's not real."
"Yes, I know that, but the book that you're reading that out of is mostly fake."
"And why do you say this?"
"Because has there been any record of..," Cordelia trailed off.
She quickly hopped off her seat and walked up to the front of the class. Giles handed her the book and she flipped through it. She stopped on a page and looked up.
"Oobers. I mean come on, what's an Oober? And if there is such thing has anyone seen one?"
Some of the students shook their heads and looked at Giles. Kendra, who was sitting toward the back, raised her hand. Giles looked at her with a look of relief, "Miss Arman."
"Cordelia is speaking de truth. Slayers are supposedly not real," she said with a thick accent.
Cordelia smiled, handed Giles the book back and went and sat back down. Giles nodded and said, "Let me do some research on it and then I'll get back to you all on it."
Buffy's hand flew up, "*If* there really is a Slayer, does anyone know who the current one is?"
Giles pondered for a moment and then said, "Well there was this chap in Diagon Alley that was talking about the Slayer. He said her name is Carla."
"Thank you," Buffy replied.
Giles nodded and was about to continue, but the bell rang.

Author's Note: Hey guys! This isn't the best chapter; I'll give you that. But I needed to get the point across that some people think Slayers are real and some don't. Also I needed to do the dream, 'cos well you'll see why. Sorry it's not as long as they others [chapters], I'll write more soon. Sorry this took a while to put up, but I'll get writing! Thank you all soooo much for reading and replying!
