Dawn awoke to the sight of a very muscular, naked chest. Eyes bulging, she looked up to see if Harry was awake; he wasn't. He must have shed it in the night…Dawn thought, unaware that her hands were lightly exploring the exposed body. Tracing his very hard six pack, over his shoulders, down his arms and around his neck; smiling as Harry moaned at her touch. Shifting closer to his body, Dawn slowly started to nuzzle his neck; licking and kissing.
Harry awoke to the pleasure of someone giving him a hicki. Biting his lip to bite back a moan of pleasure, he slowly looked down at the girl held tightly in his arms; Dawn Summers. She was a mystery to him. First she nearly kissed him, then avoided him and now; now she was licking his neck.
Slowly moving higher and higher with her kisses, Dawn didn't see the pair of eyes which followed her. Kissing along his jaw, Dawn stopped at his lips which quirked in a smile. Fearing the worst, she raised her head to meet amused green eyes. "How long have you been awake?"
"Since the beginning," Harry whispered back, fearing that any loud sound or sudden movement will scare her away.
"And why, pray tell, did you not tell me?" Dawn asked, raising one eyebrow and placing her chin on his chest, so she could look up at him.
"Because, you looked like you were having fun," Harry shrugged, smirking as he remembered that he was having fun too.
"Get up," Dawn stated, smacking him lightly on the chest; before heaving out of the bed.
"But its cold," Harry whined, lifting the sheets closer to his body.
"Not my fault," Dawn smiled, winking as she went to wake Connor and Spike.
Harry smiled as he heard both Connor and Spike refuse to get up, and Dawn threaten violence; this was an interesting year at Hogwarts.
"Right class, today since we have guests in here that can answer any questions you have about them; we'll be covering vampires, slayers and the key," Giles stated, looking evenly around his sixth year Gryffindor and Slytherin classroom.
"What!" Dawn, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, Buffy, Angel, Faith, Connor and Spike all asked, surprised he had anything on the Key.
"You heard me," Giles stated, looking directly at Dawn. "Lets get started. Right, who can tell me how the vampire came to be? Yes, Hermione?"
"Long ago, there were pure demons that walked the earth; but soon the good decided to get rid of these dangerous creatures. The last one to survive, fed from a human and so on. Thus, the vampire was invented," Hermione stated, hearing and reading the text a million times.
"Very good, five points to Gryffindor. Now, what about the Order of Aurelius?" Giles asked, looking expectantly around the classroom. "Right, well we have two Order of Aurelius vampires in this very room; Angel, would you like to say what happened to you lot?"
"Well, Darla was the Masters' Dear One, his favourite childe. Darla then sired me, Angelus; I took the name from when I went back to kill my family. My sister, Kathryn, asked if I were an Angel; and so I just took that. Over the years Darla and I tortured, killed and laughed throughout all of Europe; I become the Scourge of Europe through and through. Along the way, I discovered a scared teenage girl named Drusilla; she had the gift of foresight. Mentally torturing her, killing all her family; and finally making her flee to a convent. On her day she took her vowels, I sired her. Sensing Dru needed something else, we went on a hunt to find a mate; and although he can be annoying-"
"Hey!" Spike interrupted, not expecting the insult.
"Although he could be annoying, he was a damn good vampire. William the Bloody, taken from his bloody awful poetry; he was soon nicknamed 'Spike' thanks to his preference of torturing his victims with railroad Spikes. We spent years terrorising countries, until I fed off the wrong gypsy girl and was cursed with a soul. I was insane from guilt. See, when you become a vampire, the demon gets your body but it doesn't get your soul; that's gone. So returning that, brought back all the pain and guilt; and so I was insane. Being led to Buffy thanks to Whistler, I feel in love with her. Thinking I fed off her mother, Buffy hunted for me; and found me at the Bronze. It was a fight to the death, because Darla some how found me; and convinced me to kill her before she killed me. I staked Darla for Buffy."
"What happened to everyone?"
"Um, Darla was brought back, human, by Wolfram and Hart, but turned again by Drusilla; that kinda mucked up the whole who sired who bit. Darla staked herself. Um, I got a soul and live in LA, and William the Bloody awful poet just turns up in either LA or Sunnydale; but I think that has a lot to do with Dawn," Angel stated nervously, afraid they would fear him if they knew the truth.
"What about slayers sir?" Harry asked, looking interestingly at Buffy.
"Well, they-"
"One girl in all the world with the strength and skill to fight the vampires. Discover where they gather and destroy them," Buffy stated, remembering all the time's she had heard.
"What about this Key?" a voice in the back asked, understanding about slayers and vampires, but he had never heard of a key.
"Well, a key is-"
"It's a mystical energy, which partly created the world as we know. The Powers That Be discovered that they would have more fun when looking after more than one race or species. Not knowing which type to create, they made many; all in different dimensions. Using a 'Key' to make each dimension; thus the Key was born. Having the ability to bleed the dimensions together, and destroy all humanity; it is a very powerful weapon when in the wrong hands," Dawn stated, silencing the room. Everyone remembered her story, and suddenly felt saddened by all that this girl had to go through.
"Wow, never knew you were that cool," Connor drawled, smiling as the girl blushed slightly.
"Well, I think that will be all for today; please read up on vampires in your books," Giles dismissed the class, smiling as every student seemed to look at Dawn with a new sort of respect.
"Meet you at dinner!" Dawn yelled, running to catch up with Harry as he went to his next class.
"Where's she going?" Faith asked, looking after Dawn.
"After Harry," Spike, Connor, Buffy and Angel filled in, smiling as realization dawned on the slayers face.
"Way to go D," Faith smirked, following as the others headed to their common room.
"Hey, you guys! Wait up!" Dawn shouted, running to catch up with Harry, Hermione and Ron.
"Hey Dawn," Ron smiled, waving as the brunette came to walk with them. "I didn't see you this morning," Ron stated, looking up at the girl.
"Oh yeah, I was ah, busy," Dawn said, looking discreetly over at Harry; she saw a slight blush enter his cheek. "Anyway, what class do you guys have?"
"Oh, Magical History with Wesley," Hermione stated, looking slyly between Harry and Dawn. "Are you coming?"
"If it's not too much trouble," Dawn shrugged, looking over at Harry for acceptance.
"Cool," Harry smiled, slinging an arm around Dawn's shoulders in a friendly gesture; making the brunette blush with delight. Entering the classroom, the group got many stares as Harry Potter had his arm around Dawn Summers; rumours started flying. "Sorry," Harry whispered, squeezing her shoulders slightly.
"It's cool," Dawn smiled, snuggling alittle deeper in his embrace.
"Right class," Wesley stated, stepping back alittle as he saw Dawn with Harry. "Ah, I see we have a guest. Today we will be looking at….."
Dawn yawned as Wesley's voice seemed to go on for hours; noticing that Hermione was the only one who seemed to be actually listening. Missing Harry's arm around her, she lent her head against his shoulder and sighed; eliciting a chuckle from the boy.
"He's usually a lot better than this," Harry whispered into her ear, causing goose bumps up and down her spine.
"Class dismissed," Wesley stated, smiling as Dawn pouted at Harry's sudden alertness to being in a classroom.
Walking through the halls to the Great Hall, Dawn and Harry had never let go of each other yet. Always touching and holding; many suspected that they were together. Eating quietly, Dawn excused herself early from dinner and rushed off to bed.
I'm waiting for you sweetcheeks……
You can't escape……
I'll always be watching……
"No!" Dawn screamed, waking up in sweat; looking quickly around the room, she decided on one option.
