CONSEQUENCES:

Chapter 2: Hearing?

"It's about power" Buffy said. "Who's got it? Who knows how to use it? So..." She tossed the stake to Dawn. "Who's got the power, Dawn?" Dawn sighed.

"Well, I've got the stake." Dawn answered uncertainly.

"The stake is not the power" Buffy remembered.

"But he's new. He doesn't know his strength. H-he might not know all those fancy martial arts skills they inevitably seem to pick up."

"Who's got the power?" Buffy asked once again.

"He does" Dawn finished

"Never forget it. Doesn't matter how well preppared you are or how well armed you are. You're a little girl."

"Woman" Dawn corrected

"Little woman" Buffy said a little amused.

"I'm taller than you" Dawn remembered her older… shorter sister.

"He's a vampire, ok? Demon. Preternaturally strong. Skilled with powers no human could possibly ever—" Buffy started to explain but was interrupted by the vampire on the grave.

"Excuse me. I think I'm stuck" The vampire said with his body half out half buried on the ground.

"You're stuck?" The slayer asked unable to believe it.

"My foot's caught on a root or something, and... I don't even know how I got down there. If you girls could just give me a hand..." The vampire started explaining a little ashamed.

"Hm. So, he's got the power?" Dawn asked her sister amused.

"Zip it"

"I really appreciate it. It's just it's so dark, and I don't even know what I'm doing here" Buffy picked him up by his suit collar and put him down standing on his feet. "Whoa. Ooh. Thanks. That was a help. Unfortunately it was the last—" Buffy grabbed him by the throat. His voice turned scratchy. "—thing you'll ever do"

"Listen up. I'm the slayer. You don't want to get into it with me. You want blood? You can have hers." The slayer said pointing at her little sister with her head. The Vampire turned to go after Dawn.

"Power. He's got it. He's going to use it. You don't have it, so —"The Vampire charged Dawn. She bended and flipped him over her back. "—use that. Perfect"

Dawn staked him, she thought she had defeated him but she missed the heart. The sister of the slayer got a panicked look on her face. The vampire pushed Dawn down, got up and away from her. She tried again to stake him, but he overpowered her and started to bite her neck. "Buffy!" Buffy grabbed the vampire's coat from behind, and he dropped Dawn. Buffy fought with swings, kicks, punches, etc. Finally, she grabbed a nearby sword, and cuts off his head.

"It's real. It's the only lesson, Dawn. It's always real. Let me see." She inspected Dawn's neck. There were two puncture wounds where the vampire bit her.

"It's nothing, it's just a scrape. Plus, I had a plan the whole time." Dawn said as the matter of fact…ly.

"Really?" The blonde slayer asked some what amused.

"Yeah, I planned to get killed, come back as a vampire, and bite you."

"You wanted to be trained"

"Well, just the next time when you're gonna disa—"

"You did pretty well" Buffy confessed interrupting the brown haired girl.

"I did?" She asked surprised.

"Yeah"

"'Cause, you know, with the whole rolling thing, I was actually using his strength, and it was very Tai chi. plus I nearly got the heart"

"My first time out, I missed the heart too"

"No way"

"Just the once." Buffy walked back to pack up her tools and weapons. They started walking home.

"Well, the next vampire I meet—" Dawn starts

"The next vampire you meet, you run away" The slayer finished for her.

They arrived into the Summer's residence. "Willow!" Buffy yelled. She heard the TV on the living room and she found a sleeping Willow with at least three covers over her. You could see red marks on her cheeks, meaning she had been crying again. Xander came from the kitchen.

"The Bufster and the Dawnster are back" He announced smiling. "How was the slay today?" He covered Willow's feet that were out of the three covers she had.

"It was ok" Buffy said. "Dawn got bitten"

"Really?" Xander asked while Dawn rolled her eyes. She nodded and pulled her hair away from the neck. "Well that's just a scratch"

"What about you how's…" The slayer left the bag on the trunk they had on the living room.

"About the same, I try to convince her but she's still well you know…" The blonde nodded.

"Dawn go and clean yourself for dinner"

"It's 11 pm….isn't it a little late for dinner?" Dawn asked.

"Not after patrolling" Buffy answered. "You know the whole balance…exercise and calories"

"And I always wondered why every morning there was no food" Dawn mumbled. Buffy glared at her sister. Dawn left to her room.

"So should we wake her?" Xander asked.

"No need for wake me up" Willow said from the couch she rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Hey Will" Buffy said cheerfully.

"How was patrol with Dawnie?"

"Good …she almost killed a vampire" Will smiled "How are you?"

"The same…still"

"Want to eat pizza?" Willow nodded. "Dawn!"

"Yeah!" The answer came from upstairs.

"Call to Joe's for a large pizza with everything!"

"Ok!"

"Our mechanisms of communication amaze me" Xander said sitting next to the red head. He passed an arm behind her bringing her head to his shoulder.

"Hey! Little old me feels excluded" Buffy whined. But before she could whine more something hit the window…breaking it. "What the-" A ball of feathers fell into the table. The ball moved and stretched something that looked like wings.

"An owl?" Xander wondered out loud.

"Guys what was that?" Dawn said coming into the room. The owl shook it's wings and flied across the room leaving two letters one into Buffy's hands and the other in Willow's lap.

"A letter?" Buffy asked

"So it seems" Willow said.

"Is this parchment?" Xander asked.

"And our mechanism of communication amazed you?" Buffyasked amused.

"Yeah…isn't the use of birds as mailers a little outdated" The bird seemed to understand because it started picking on Xander. "Ow! Ok it isn't outdated!" The bird started flying in circles across the room.

"Youtalk about the use of birds... What about the use of parchment?" Willow commented examination the letter now in her hands carefully.

"Shouldn't we open it?" Buffy asked Willow.

"I don't sense any energy coming from it so it can't be a curse or a spell"

"Lets open it then" Buffy opened the letter carefully.

To: Buffy Summers,

1630 Revello Drive

Living room

Ms. Summers:

After waiting for two months for your answer confirming your willing assistance to your hearing in the Ministry on the 21st of the former month we feel obligated to send officers of the Ministry to pick you and bring you to a hearing in which an official decision will be taken about the charges that are held against you. The hearing will be tomorrow, 21st of June.

With best wishes

Yours sincerely,

Mafalda Hophirk

Improper Use of Magic Office.

Ministry of Magic.

"Hearing?" Buffy said.

"You too?" Willow asked the blonde and she nodded. "But what I don't understand is this… Ministry of Magic?" Then two men appeared in the living room, they were immediately attacked by Buffy who made them fall and pointed at them with two swords. Both men had dropped two sticks of wood which Dawn grabbed. They were dressed with cloaks and one of them had a pointy hat.

"Buffy Summers?" One of the men asked from the ground. Buffy nodded. "We came to take you to the hearing"

"Sorry guys, you got the wrong Buffy, I'm not going to any hearing"

"You've been accusedof brakingone of the decrees of the Ministry" He said formally. Buffy raised an eyebrow

"Sorry but I don't know the Ministry you are talking about"

"We have been asked to take you to the place in which the hearing will be held" The officer said without paying attention to Buffy.

"Hey didn't you guys hear me? I'm - not - going!" She replied slowly.

"Willow Rosenberg?" The other man asked to Dawn she shook her head and Willow raised her hand. "You've been accused for the breach of one of the decrees of the Ministry" He repeated the same as the one before.

"Hum…..which decree?" Willow dared herself to ask.

"Decree number twenty two about the Improper use of Magic, and the decree sixty eight about putting muggles and the magical community in danger" Willow considerably paled.

"Buffy?" She whispered.

"Don't worry Will they won't take you anywhere, nor will they take me"
