"Buffy Summers?" A tall black haired man asked. Buffy looked at him.
"Yes…and you are?"
"Harry Potter….I will be in charge of your case" The green eyed guy said smiling politely.

CONSEQUENCES:
Chapter 5: The British Ministry of Magic
"In charge of our case?" I asked curiously at the same time Giles said…
"Potter?" Giles asked with obvious curiosity in his voice.
"Mr. Giles?" The Potter guy asked eyeing Giles, a sudden flash of recognition passed through his green eyes. Then my watcher did the strangest thing, he pulled him into a huge hug, which the younger man gladly returned. I felt a little jealousy when Giles hugged the boy especially because my dear watcher wasn't one to show much emotion in public.
"Apparently you know each other...?" I muttered. The hug broke.
"Yes of course…I helped Harry with certain things"
"Certain things?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes...well I'll tell you about it later" Giles said quickly. "So Harry…I heard about what happened to Voldemort" A person near, a witch I supposed, flinched and glared at Giles after he said this.
"Yeah….but it's finally over" The man said scratching the back of his head. "Well we should go into the chambers, so you guys can get all the procedures before the hearing"
"Wasn't the hearing today?" Willow asked from behind.
"No, actually it was moved …I'll explain later."
"So what are we doing here then?" I asked.
"Lets start walking and I'll explain on the way." He said and he started walking with me and Giles besides him.
"So?" I said after a while he hadn't said anything. "Why are we here now if the hearing is later?"
"Impatient, aren't you?" He said grinning as I glared at him. "Ok, ok, ok, no need for glaring… well some of the officers that were sent to your …residence commented the fact that you were clueless about certain aspects of the accusation by the Ministry."
"So?"
"We are going to explain and try to first reach an agreement…we might not even need the hearing if everything works out."
"What about Willow?" I asked without letting him know about my concern.
"Ms. Rosenberg case is a little bit more complex… you see she did kill a person…"
"A murder." I said, I knew that I shouldn't be justifying Willow for murdering Warren… but she was my friend…I didn't know what they could do to her…but I was going to protect her all I could. I believed she could be 'healed'.
"I don't know about that but…"
"Didn't the Ministry approve the Unforgivable curses again on the war against Voldemort….on the second one?" Giles interrupted sternly, I smiled. "As far as I am concerned it wasn't very long ago when the Unforgivable were forbidden once again… about 4 years ago if I am correct" The man nodded obviously not liking the fact that Giles may have had something.
"Unforgivable curses? What are those?" Xander asked from the back, I knew Willow had heard our little debate about her, but she just stayed quiet.
"There are three Unforgivable curses" Giles started to explain but was suddenly interrupted by the man.
"Four" He corrected.
"Four?" Giles asked obviously concerned.
"Voldemort's last invention." The Potter guy said gritting his teeth. We stopped near an 'elevator'. We entered it.
Instead of going up, the thing went down. "Level seven, Department of Magical Games and Sports, incorporating the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters, Official Gobstone Club, and Ludicrous Patents Office" A woman's voice said and the doors opened. Two men came into the 'elevator' and we continued going down…after hearing the introductions of 4 levels we finally went down the elevator…on level two "Level two, Department of Magical Enforcement, including the Improper Use of Magic Office, Auror Headquarters, and Wizengamot Administration Services"
"Harry there you are! You have to go up now because the sla…."A brown haired girl said stopping when she saw us. "You already picked them up"
"Yup" Harry said.
"Good" The girl said. "I'm Hermione Granger" The girl introduced herself giving her hand to Dawn first. "Ms. Summers, nice to meet you"
"Thanks…I suppose that you already know who I am, Dawn Summers" My sister said shaking the brunette's hand.
"Dawn?" The girl questioned out loud "But the current slayer's name was Buffy"
"Yes, and she is my sister" I said from where I was, the bushy haired girl looked now embarrassed.
"Sorry I was expecting a younger person…" She said still embarrassed.
"Sorry for disappointing you" I said, I really wasn't in the mood of start with the age explanations. "This is Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris and Rupert Giles"
"Mr. Giles?" She asked obviously excited. The girl grinned and she hugged Giles. "It's been a long time since we last heard from you… we'd feared the worst"
"Yes a long time" He confirmed.
"I suppose that we will still have to wait to know how is that you guys know each other" Xander said.
"Yes" Giles said. I rolled my eyes and directed myself to The Potter guy.
"Could you take us to the place we are supposed to go now?"
"No please?" He asked.
"No, and you will get your ass…or should I say arse kicked if you keep being a bastard"
"Go Buffy!" Xander muttered from behind me.
"It seems that you want to add more charges in you record" Harry said coldly.
"Ok lets go" Granger said quickly to break the tension, and I followed the girl. There was a plaque with an inscription that said. "Winzengamot Administration Services" The door opened by itself and we walked into it. We came into some sort of reception. I kept following Hermione and she stepped into another door, that she opened this time, and we entered into a room were two people, about Harry and Hermione's age, fighting. The red head was grabbing the blonde's neck and they looked about to kill each other.
"Ronald!" Hermione yelled. The red head let the blonde go, who started rubbing his neck. "I leave you two for just two seconds and you are already fighting!"
"Again?" I heard Harry behind me, he sighed.
"So professional" I mumbled winning a glare of Harry.
"You may sit, we'll explain both situations" Harry said sitting on one of the chairs near the table, there were many papers on the table's top.
"I'm going to return my office to see if Hilda got the papers for me" Hermione said leaving the place still mad.
"I'm glad to know that certain things do not change Mr. Weasley" Giles said grinning. Ron repeated the weird ritual these guys seemed to have and hugged Giles. The blonde guy just glared at the red head. "Mr. Malfoy" This time there was only a shake of hands.
"So who's who?" 'Mr. Malfoy' asked.
"Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris, Dawn Summers and Buffy Summers" Giles said.
"I'm Draco Malfoy"
"I'm Ron Weasley"
"…or weasel" Draco added.
"Don't give me more reasons, ferret." Ron snapped.
"Would you please calm down at least for the duration of this case?" Harry snapped at both of them.
"So where should we start Potty? The slayer or the witch" After some time of silence. On one side of the table Harry Ron and Draco were sitting, Giles was on one of the head's of the table, Xander having the other. Willow, Dawn and I were sitting on the opposite side of the wizards.
"The slayer and the witch have names" I corrected him sending him daggers.
"Not very nice ones" He said smirking.
"Watch it Dragon boy" I snapped.
"Nice slayer you have Rupert" He said to Giles.
"I told you having Ferret face in the team wasn't such a good idea" Ron said to Harry. Dawn started giggling infecting Willow who started giggling also. I grinned and contained laughing.
"I suppose we should start with Ms. Summers" Harry said reading some paper.

Thanks to:
Timetwist: I love long reviews I'm in love with them. Lol. About the first part The minister part... the idiots who went to 'pick' Buffy up first were kind of stupid underestimating a slayer the posibilities that they knew the real strenght of one was really tinny so I suppose that they felt really brave with their wooden sticks, the second group was smart enough to not anger the slayer. I think the Minister shouldn't be in charge of those decitions because if everytime some one skipped to a meeting the Minister has to choose some one to go to search for them... then the Minister would be really really busy.
The Minister I picked is on Harry's good list so right now the Ministry against Harry isn't the case. Hermione is in charge of other things not the Buffy/Willow case especifically.
I'll be evil again... who said the dementors were still on Azkaban? Lol...
Prophetess of Hearts: sooooooooooooooooorry but today wasn't a very good day for me...I'm kinda sick so I can't write too much. Thanks anyways for reviewing.
Allen Pitt: as I said to TimeTwist...I love long reviews. Nice idea the thing of the mark of Eyghon... really neat. About Ethan Rayne... all I have to say is mwahahahahahahaha.
