Chapter 5 The Questions

She saw the three of them enter. She was assesing each one asthey entered. First was the oldest of the three. He looked like he wanted to be everyone ones grandfather so he could spoil them and there was the fact that he had a twinkling in his eye. Next was the female she looked...well she looked neat and stern with a air of friendlyness. Last was the source of her amusement tall dark and funny...to her at least.

"Hi there young miss my name is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and these are my employees Professor Minerva McGonagall and Professor Severus Snape. May I enquire as to your name?" He asks with a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you and my name is Buffy," she says with amusement.

"Now there is a few questions that need to be asked like how did you get here?" he politly asks.

"I'd rather not say" she says quietly, thinking back to the battle and what she had left behind.

"Well Buffy," Snape spits out the name with great distaste. "I must deeply inform you that you are to answer all questions, am I understood," he sneers.

"Tsk, tsk Professor Snappy trying to make me feel smaller are you? Well I got some news for youbut you don't scare me. I have faced things in my like that could and have sent men running in the other direction," she leans a little bit over the side of her bed as she says this. "And FYI the whole making me feel scared was a nice try but I only give you a C+ for effort."

"Severus please try and control your temper. We are here to find answers not fight," Dumbledore states as he sees Snape's eyes fill with rage. "Now Buffy, can you tell us where you are from?"

"It's compicated," Snape snorts and she gares at him. "I am not from thisdimension, but from another. I was transported here through the portal."

"Is that all?" Snape sneers. "For it doesn't seem so complex to me."

"Really Severus, let the child explain," McGonagall states with a stern faceof disapproval.

"I am no child and haven't been in a while. That is all I wish to explain Professors. Oh and Snappy it isn't the matter isn'tcomplex of how I got here, but why I was in the portal in the first place. Which by theway you know nothing about." Buffy says with an edge in her voice. "Are you muggle?" Dumbledore asks and seeing her puzzlement clarifies. "Are you a non-magickal person?"

"I am not sure," she says uncertainly. Dumbledore gets his want and points it at her and says a spell then states with his twinkling eyes "well Buffy I am glad to say that you have magick running in your vains."

"Cool!"

It was then that Dumbledore decides the best way to monitor her was to in factkeep her in the castle. So he does something that shocks the other three in the room."Buffy I was woundering if you knew anything about the Dark Arts?"

"I know enough why do you ask?" she asks cautiously.

"Well then since you have no where left to go I was woundering if you would like a job here as a Professor and teach Defences Against the Dark Arts since our currentone wishes to more on in his career?" he states with the ever twinkling blue eyes of hisas the other two Professors take deep breaths and look at him as if he lost his mind,but dare not say anything until later.

"Well I guess I could teach I suppose. As you mentioned I have no where else to go so yeah sure. You do know I have never taught before right D.D?"

"That is perfectly fine Buffy I will have an outline for you done up and the other Professor will be glad to help you I am sure. If you would like to learn magick I am sure we can find someone that will gladly teach you this if you are willing?" she nods her head. "Now you must rest. You will begin teaching in two weeks time. Most of which will be spent right here at the hosiptal wing."

"Wait you mean I ave to spent two weeks here?" she panics as she says this, her eyes going round. Professor Dunbledore nods his head. "Well that really won't be necessary D.D. because you no I feel beter already. I think I should leave now you no? As in at this very second. I mean I promise I won't be bad ever if I can leave this place. And oh God why me?" she says feeling like she was being punished when he just shakes his head no. "

Welcome aboard Buffy. We shall leave you here to rest. Have a good night." he then turns and leaves with the two other professors trailing behind him and leaving one pouting woman behind.

"Really Albus do youthink it wise to put her in the position to teach the children?" Professor McGonagall asks.

"Well I don't thing the young woman in there is evil but this way we can keep an eye on her and makes sure she stays out of trouble. I am sure her actions will speak loud and clear. Now let us retire for the night. Minerva and Severus." as he turns and walks to his rooms.

"I think that he finally lost his mind the old coot," Severus comments as he walks away.

"Only time will tell," Minerva says to herself as she to heads up to her rooms.
