Draco froze as soon as the one he thought was Kat spoke up. He had been so sure that the one he was kissing was Alexa. Now, she was really going to hurt him.
He opened his eyes and slowly pulled away. The twin he was kissing also opened her eyes and stared confused. He saw realisation spark her eyes.
"Draco?" She whispered.
Draco stared down at her, wondering what the hell was going on. He was more confused then ever.
The girl on the bed turned to her sister. "Kat, that was so mean, playing a trick on them.. They're confused enough."
Kat, the one sitting beside the bed, shrugged. "Meh, couldn't help it. It was funny."
"Excuse me" Dawn interrupted them. "but do you mean to tell us that this whole time you have been messing with our heads?"
The twins both shook their heads.
"No," Kat said. "Everything was just kind of shocked back into me right before my sister's hot boyfriend kissed her."
"Kat." Alexa said, going red. She looked apologetically at everyone. "As for me, Draco kind of made me remember." She looked at Draco and blushed.
"Well now we have one mystery solved." Dumbledore said.
"With only a few more to go." Kat continued for him. 'I'm sorry but last time I checked I was dead."
"Ditto on that." Seconded Alexa. "This is just so weird." She glanced over at the bed beside her. "And wow, Sirius kept his promise."
"What promise?" Harry asked.
"He promised not to leave me."
"What?" Ron asked.
"We need to hear everything." Hermione said.
"Fine but I'm getting out of here." Alexa said.
Immediately everyone was protesting.
"Let her go." Kat shrugged. "She's fine."
"And how would you know?" Dawn asked, her hands on her hips.
Kat looked at her like she was stupid. "I dunno maybe 'cause she's my sister? 'Sides, she's a Slayer, she heals quick."
"You know she's a Slayer?"
"Well, duh, I'm one too." She told them with a cheeky grin.
"I knew it." Alexa exclaimed. "See Spike, I told ya."
Buffy shrugged. "Makes sense."
"Ms. Conners, if you feel up to it, we shall go to my office and we can hear everything.." Dumbledore said.
Alexa stood up and sure enough was pushed back down by Madame Pomfrey who had just rushed in.
"I have not given you permission to leave yet child."
Alexa struggled to get up once more, while glaring at the nurse but Madame Pomfrey was oblivious to the glare as she noticed Kat and let out a gasp.
"There's two of them."
"Surprise." Kat said , sarcasm filling her voice.
Alexa shook her head. "I feel fine, I want to leave."
Before anyone could say anything else, Alexa got up and walked out, followed closely by Kat then slowly by everyone else.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
They were all standing around Dumbledore's office, staring at the twins who were still dressed in their white robes that were on them when they fell through the portals. They were both sitting on a small couch, looking the exact same down to every feature.
Everyone was trying to determine who was who until one of them spoke up.
"Oh hell, I'll start."
Everyone stared at her. Was that a slight british accent to it? They couldn't really tell. Hermione was the one to finally ask the question that was on all their minds.
"I don't mean to sound insulting, but umm, which one.... I mean I'm unsure...."
"Of who I am?"
Hermione nodded and the twins flashed each other a grin.
"I'm Alexa." Said the one who had been talking.
"Kat." Said the other one. "Would you like us to get K and A put on these fancy little robes?"
"My brothers do that." Ron said. "only way we can tell them apart sometimes."
"Might help." Spike said.
"Too bad." Kat shot back.
Alexa rolled her eyes. "Kat, quit it. First off, everyone, this is my sister Kat."
"Older sister." Kat reminded her.
"By nine minutes."
"Still older and prettier."
"Firefly." Spike interjected. "She's worse then you."
Immediately, both girls glared at him.
"They're worse then Fred and George." Ron whispered to Hermione.
Kat heard him though. "We haven't even begun." Kat flashed him an evil grin.
"Kat, honestly, stop it. You want me to introduce you?"
Kat wrinkled her nose. "Y'know what? Hot boyfriend guy is right, you are sounding British. Introductions would be nice. Some, I know a little 'cause up until that dream I visited you in, I got a rundown of what was happening but you know how horrible I am with names."
Alexa went around and introduced everyone.
"Are you going to tell us what happened?" Dawn asked Alexa.
"Well, the past 6 months I've been with Sirius. For over a year he was all alone until I showed up. Then it was us two and we pretty much watched you all. It was hard, you guys were right there but there was no way to communicate with you.
"Then the night of the feast, Sirius and I were talking when I got sharp pains going through me, it felt like I was dieing again. Sirius was by me and the next thing you know, we got sucked into a big portal thingy and I wake up all fuzzy minded. Kat?"
"So first off, lemme get this straight, I've been dead for over a year?"
Alexa nodded.
"And you died for 6 months ago?"
Alexa nodded again.
"Wow, like I said, I remember that dream I came to see you in, our 16th birthday but after I couldn't get back to mom and dad. I was alone at first until this woman showed up saying I was a Slayer and I had to prepare. I'm thinking what the hell, I'm dead what am I preparing for? She didn't answer, just started training me in different forms of fighting. All she tells me is she's Faith's Watcher, whatever the hell that means."
"You got to be kidding me." Buffy cut in. "You had Faith's Watcher?"
"Who's Faith?"
"One of the original two Slayers."
"You mean there weren't always a bunch of Slayers."
"No, only one. Until something happened to me and Faith was called. You don't know the whole Slayer history? She didn't teach you that?"
"No, she said there wasn't much time."
"My friend Willow activated all the potentials. We'll give you the whole story later. Which is why you weren't Slayers before you died."
"Oh." Kat said. "I just thought, I dunno, assumed, you became one on you're 16th birthday or something."
"Nope, most girls are called when their 15. But back to your story."
"Right. So I was with this woman for what I thought was a short amount of time, not a year, then she tells me I gotta go back. So I'm thinking I get to see mom and dad but no big portal comes and I land in that damn eating room with the funny ceiling, cursing up at it. I fell unconscious but woke up early this morning and have kinda been sneaking around. But I still can't believe you died." She said turning to her sister once more. "How?"
"Hit by a curse. Let me tell you it was painful."
"It's quite amazing you were alive long enough to know that." Dumbledore told her.
Alexa shrugged it off. "Well then, call me special."
"You're special."
"Kat." Alexa groaned.
"You said to. So you didn't see mom and dad, or Jenny and James?"
Alexa shook her head.
"We're going to be so grounded next time they see us."
Alexa ignored her as she turned to Dumbledore, Buffy, and Spike. "So what now? I'm back and it's all weird and I just don't understand."
Buffy was the first to speak. "I have a feeling that you two are the two warriors meant to rise after Alexa's death."
"What was the point of killing me then? What was the point of putting me through all that? I went through so much and I sacrificed so much knowing that I was going to die. Then they turn around and decide to throw me back here. It's fucking bullshit." Alexa was red in the face and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Immediately, Kat was kneeling down beside her. "Lexi, it's okay. I don't know what's going on either but look, we're together again and we'll get through this, I promise."
Alexa wiped away her tears and silently nodded.
"She needs sleep." Kat said, standing up.
"No, I'm fine." Alexa protested.
"No, you're not. You need sleep."
"Kat, I've been able to take care of myself for the past year without you." Alexa snapped.
Kat's head snapped back like had been slapped as she stared down at her sister. Holding up her hands, she stepped back. "Well shit, sorry for coming back and ruining your perfect little existence. I'll just get out of your way. I'll try not to die this time."
She turned to leave but was stopped by Alexa's voice, filled with hurt.
"That was harsh Kit Kat. I'm sorry for snapping at you. This is just stressful. But don't think for one minute that I didn't regret what happened before you were killed. I woke up every morning regretting what had happened."
Kat bowed her head. "I'm sorry too. I'm not used to you talking back." She shot her sister a grin. "I'm used to looking after you."
Alexa returned the smile. "I know. You're right, maybe I do need some sleep."
She turned to Dumbledore. "Professor, will I be able to return to classes?"
He nodded. "Of course. As soon as you feel ready, you will be put into 7th year. I'm sure Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy could help you catch up on what you missed last year."
"What about Kat?"
Dumbledore became thoughtful. "I do believe you both possess the same powers, therefore, with everyone's help, your sister will be able to join you."
"Sweet." The twins exclaimed.
"And her wand and stuff?" Alexa asked
"I'll take them." Buffy spoke up
The twins grinned at her.
"It's all settled then." Dumbledore announced. "Whenever you both feel ready , Professor Summers will take you. I'll announce your arrivals tonight at dinner so as it won't be a shock to anyone."
"I just need to rest for a bit, how bout after lunch?" Alexa asked.
Buffy nodded and Alexa stood, grabbing her sister's hand.
"Old room?" She asked everyone.
"I'm staying there." Draco told her, staring as though he still couldn't believe she was there. "I'm in the other room though."
She nodded. "It's cool, Kat and I will share my room."
With a smile to everyone, they left.
"They're as identical as Fred and George." Ron said in amazement.
"Of course." Hermione said with an eye roll. "Just like you're brothers, they are also twins."
"Remarkable, isn't it?" Spike asked, sarcasm evident in his voice.
"I worry how they'll take this. I remember when I came back." Buffy's eyes became distant, thinking back to the second time she had died and was abruptly brought back.
"But Buffy, you knew where you were. It seems they were isolated, probably on purpose?" Dawn guessed.
"Buffy shook herself from her reverie. "More then likely. If they are the warriors, they wouldn't send them back here, pissed off, because they were happy in heaven. The smart thing for the Power's would be to isolate them. But I really don't know if that was smart.."
"I don't worry about how they'll act now." Spike said, smirking.
"You don't?" Buffy asked, confused.
Spike's smirk grew. "No, I worry that there is now two of them."
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
"So let me get this straight, you went here for a year?" Kat asked Alexa in awe, staring more at her surroundings now, as they walked.
"No, I went here for 6 months, then I died."
"Yeah about that, how? Where? Why? I want all the details."
Alexa stopped and looked at her sister, then gave her a big hug. "I'm so happy you're back, I felt so lost."
Kat returned the hug before pulling away with an evil grin. "Whatever, last time I checked in with you, you had 2 really hot guys after you. See you ended up with Blondie. Does that mean Harry's free?"
Alexa sighed. "Life was a little bit more complicated then that, Kat."
"And I wanna know, so spill."
Alexa stopped in front of a portrait.
"Hey Roz." She said to the girl in the portrait.
Roz let out an eep of surprise. "Dear Merlin." Roz said. "You're back. Your hair's different and long and blonde. And there's two of you. I thought you were dead."
"We both were." Alexa said with casualness."
"Lexi, the portrait is talking." Kat whispered.
"I know. Roz, my sister Kat.. Kat, this is Roz."
"What does she mean your hair is different."
Alexa waved her hand. "I'll tell you everything. Can we go in?" She asked Roz.
Roz shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, it belongs to Draco now. You have to ask him for the password."
Alexa swore.
"Alexa-" Kat started.
"Not bad." Roz commented, swinging open.
"Aww how cute, I think someone's got it bad." Kat teased her sister.
Alexa threw her a glare. "You wouldn't understand."
Kat turned to her with a sigh. "Lexi, I've been gone for awhile, I missed a lot, I'm trying to understand."
Alexa silently led her to her old room where they sat on the bed.
"Fine." Alexa said. "Just bear with me, some of it really sucks."
Kat nodded and Alexa began.
"After the dream with you, Draco and I got into a fight. WE quit talking and it was really bad until November. All this time, I didn't really grasp the idea of me being a Slayer. I was told about it but I didn't want to believe it. I thought my life sucked at this time. I quit eating, I quit sleeping, all in all I was very weak. During one of Spike's classes, Draco and I were partnered up to spar together. We started arguing and it became a fight. For some reason, Draco matches me strength wise, so because of my weakened state, he knocked me out and I was in a coma for four days. I spent the time with someone name Tara. An old friend of Buffy's who died in Sunnydale. When we both woke up, Buffy was going to come to Hogwarts and I was to learn a lot from Spike.
"Spike used to be a vampire and he helped Buffy. He was a vampire with a soul. He died in the destruction of Sunnydale. He was sent back but this time as human but he had all his old senses, skills, and strength. He became my Watcher.
"No one knew I was a Slayer until Spike took me out patrolling and Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed me. There was a huge blow up because they found out I was keeping something from them so I walked away and pretty much walked right back to Draco. We fixed things then I fixed things with my friends. Everything seemed fine, I felt like I was finally gaining some control over my life again but then I was kidnapped while we were at Hogsmeade.
"I really don't know o much you now about what's going on around here-"
"Honestly, nothing. They wouldn't let us see you, then they told me I could come visit you, giving me a rundown of your life. All they said was, you're a witch in a school for it, also a Slayer because I knew I was a Slayer then. They let us watch little scene's of your life but nothing too big, just small interactions with friends." Kat explained.
"So it seems they kept all the crap out, huh?"
Kat nodded.
"So stupid." Alexa said with a shake of her head before continuing. "Voldemort, is the bad guy around here. He wants Harry dead and it's up to Harry alone to kill him but Voldemort wanted me on his side, saying my power would be great. He used polyjuice potion to get someone to look like you but I saw through it and told him to go to Hell, then he tortured me for hours, using some mind thingy to get in and see all my memories, then knowing what I loved the most, he chopped off my hair.
At this, Kat gasped. "No, but it's here now." She reached out and grabbed a lock of hair, giving it an experimental tug.
Alexa shrugged. "When I died, I reverted back to the image of my self from before you died. I lost a lot of weight last year, you would barely recgonize me. But, anyways, Buffy and the Scooby gang, along with the four Gryffindors you saw and Draco, rescued me. After that, I freaked, became a bitch until Spike set me straight.
"Two days before christmas, we had a dance, I discovered this animagus, someone who can turn into an animal at will, was feeding info to Voldemort. I took him to Voldemort and Harry just fell unconscious, when I touched him, I did too. We woke up somewhere strange and Tara was there, saying we had a gift and I got a prophecy."
Alexa said the prophecy that was forever stuck in her.
"2 warriors will rise, a special pair, And in them a power you'll find so rare, This can only happens when the Slayer-Witch dies, For she is the key, for the two to rise."
Alexa held up a hand to keep Kat from interrupting.
"Harry freaked, kissed me, we woke up an ignored what happened until Christmas when I told Draco and he beat the shit out of Harry. I confessed everything to everyone and I was scared because I thought I was going to die."
Alexa grew silent as she stared out the window.
"Lexi, that's awful." Kat finally whispered.
Alexa snapped her head back to her sister. "I'm just getting started." She whispered.
Kat's eyes grew wide as she continued once more.
"Draco's father is, was beyond evil. He was Voldemort's right hand man, just so you know. He of course wanted Draco to follow him and Draco didn't want that. His father sent him a letter saying he would be forgiven if he could lure me to the dark side. I read that and got an idea. I shunned all my friends, publicly and Draco and I became evil. Voldemort met with us and my task was to bring as many Slayers as I could over to his side.
"That night there was a big meeting and I had to stay behind. After, I went to follow Draco but I found him and Dawn together, it looked like they were making out but I was wrong, I didn't know that until later. Privately I broke up with him but we still pretended to be together in public.
"Then I had another dream with Tara, who told me that no matter what, I had to die. So I decided to throw myself into whatever I needed to. I took the dark mark-"
"What's that?" Kat asked.
"Voldemort's brand, it made me one of his. Everyone was pissed but I didn't really care. Then we discovered that Voldemort was planning on attacking the school the next day. WE prepared for it and when Dumbledore evacuated the Great Hall, I came here to get my weapons but my friends locked me in here. They didn't want me to die, so I did something that's impossible in Hogwarts, I apparated and joined the fight."
"Apparate?"
"Wizarding travel, ability to travel like that." She snapped her fingers to emphasize her point. "You have to be 17 but Voldemort made me learn."
"So is that when you died? You said a curse hit you."
Alexa nodded. "I was hit by the Avada Kedavara curse. It's an unforgivable curse that causes your death right away. Only, I didn't die right away."
Alexa hesitated briefly. She didn't want to elaborate on who had done it or what she had done to Lucius Malfoy.
"I got to say good bye to Draco. I realised the mistake I made with him and Dawn but I found out too late. I said good bye and died quickly after."
Kat was silent as she stared at her sister.
"What?" Alexa asked.
"That's just... it sucks."
"I know." Replied Alexa.
"So you and Draco, madly in love?"
Alexa nodded. "I love him Kat, so much." She said with a small blush.
"Well, gotta see if he meets my expectations. So have you guy.. you know.. had sex yet?"
"Oh my god Kat, you've been dieing to ask that since he kissed me huh?"
Kat gave a slay grin. "Well?" She pushed.
"No we haven't. but I'm not talking about this anymore, I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
"Right there with you."
The girls got into bed and were soon fast asleep.

"Buffy shook herself from her reverie. "More then likely. If they are the warriors, they wouldn't send them back here, pissed off, because they were happy in heaven. The smart thing for the Power's would be to isolate them. But I really don't know if that was smart.."
"I don't worry about how they'll act now." Spike said, smirking.
"You don't?" Buffy asked, confused.
Spike's smirk grew. "No, I worry that there is now two of them."

"So let me get this straight, you went here for a year?" Kat asked Alexa in awe, staring more at her surroundings now, as they walked.
"No, I went here for 6 months, then I died."
"Yeah about that, how? Where? Why? I want all the details."
Alexa stopped and looked at her sister, then gave her a big hug. "I'm so happy you're back, I felt so lost."
Kat returned the hug before pulling away with an evil grin. "Whatever, last time I checked in with you, you had 2 really hot guys after you. See you ended up with Blondie. Does that mean Harry's free?"
Alexa sighed. "Life was a little bit more complicated then that, Kat."
"And I wanna know, so spill."
Alexa stopped in front of a portrait.
"Hey Roz." She said to the girl in the portrait.
Roz let out an eep of surprise. "Dear Merlin." Roz said. "You're back. Your hair's different and long and blonde. And there's two of you. I thought you were dead."
"We both were." Alexa said with casualness."
"Lexi, the portrait is talking." Kat whispered.
"I know. Roz, my sister Kat.. Kat, this is Roz."
"What does she mean your hair is different."
Alexa waved her hand. "I'll tell you everything. Can we go in?" She asked Roz.
Roz shook her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, it belongs to Draco now. You have to ask him for the password."
Alexa swore.
"Alexa-" Kat started.
"Not bad." Roz commented, swinging open.
"Aww how cute, I think someone's got it bad." Kat teased her sister.
Alexa threw her a glare. "You wouldn't understand."
Kat turned to her with a sigh. "Lexi, I've been gone for awhile, I missed a lot, I'm trying to understand."
Alexa silently led her to her old room where they sat on the bed.
"Fine." Alexa said. "Just bear with me, some of it really sucks."
Kat nodded and Alexa began.
"After the dream with you, Draco and I got into a fight. WE quit talking and it was really bad until November. All this time, I didn't really grasp the idea of me being a Slayer. I was told about it but I didn't want to believe it. I thought my life sucked at this time. I quit eating, I quit sleeping, all in all I was very weak. During one of Spike's classes, Draco and I were partnered up to spar together. We started arguing and it became a fight. For some reason, Draco matches me strength wise, so because of my weakened state, he knocked me out and I was in a coma for four days. I spent the time with someone name Tara. An old friend of Buffy's who died in Sunnydale. When we both woke up, Buffy was going to come to Hogwarts and I was to learn a lot from Spike.
"Spike used to be a vampire and he helped Buffy. He was a vampire with a soul. He died in the destruction of Sunnydale. He was sent back but this time as human but he had all his old senses, skills, and strength. He became my Watcher.
"No one knew I was a Slayer until Spike took me out patrolling and Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed me. There was a huge blow up because they found out I was keeping something from them so I walked away and pretty much walked right back to Draco. We fixed things then I fixed things with my friends. Everything seemed fine, I felt like I was finally gaining some control over my life again but then I was kidnapped while we were at Hogsmeade.
"I really don't know o much you now about what's going on around here-"
"Honestly, nothing. They wouldn't let us see you, then they told me I could come visit you, giving me a rundown of your life. All they said was, you're a witch in a school for it, also a Slayer because I knew I was a Slayer then. They let us watch little scene's of your life but nothing too big, just small interactions with friends." Kat explained.
"So it seems they kept all the crap out, huh?"
Kat nodded.
"So stupid." Alexa said with a shake of her head before continuing. "Voldemort, is the bad guy around here. He wants Harry dead and it's up to Harry alone to kill him but Voldemort wanted me on his side, saying my power would be great. He used polyjuice potion to get someone to look like you but I saw through it and told him to go to Hell, then he tortured me for hours, using some mind thingy to get in and see all my memories, then knowing what I loved the most, he chopped off my hair.
At this, Kat gasped. "No, but it's here now." She reached out and grabbed a lock of hair, giving it an experimental tug.
Alexa shrugged. "When I died, I reverted back to the image of my self from before you died. I lost a lot of weight last year, you would barely recgonize me. But, anyways, Buffy and the Scooby gang, along with the four Gryffindors you saw and Draco, rescued me. After that, I freaked, became a bitch until Spike set me straight.
"Two days before christmas, we had a dance, I discovered this animagus, someone who can turn into an animal at will, was feeding info to Voldemort. I took him to Voldemort and Harry just fell unconscious, when I touched him, I did too. We woke up somewhere strange and Tara was there, saying we had a gift and I got a prophecy."
Alexa said the prophecy that was forever stuck in her.
"2 warriors will rise, a special pair, And in them a power you'll find so rare, This can only happens when the Slayer-Witch dies, For she is the key, for the two to rise."
Alexa held up a hand to keep Kat from interrupting.
"Harry freaked, kissed me, we woke up an ignored what happened until Christmas when I told Draco and he beat the shit out of Harry. I confessed everything to everyone and I was scared because I thought I was going to die."
Alexa grew silent as she stared out the window.
"Lexi, that's awful." Kat finally whispered.
Alexa snapped her head back to her sister. "I'm just getting started." She whispered.
Kat's eyes grew wide as she continued once more.
"Draco's father is, was beyond evil. He was Voldemort's right hand man, just so you know. He of course wanted Draco to follow him and Draco didn't want that. His father sent him a letter saying he would be forgiven if he could lure me to the dark side. I read that and got an idea. I shunned all my friends, publicly and Draco and I became evil. Voldemort met with us and my task was to bring as many Slayers as I could over to his side.
"That night there was a big meeting and I had to stay behind. After, I went to follow Draco but I found him and Dawn together, it looked like they were making out but I was wrong, I didn't know that until later. Privately I broke up with him but we still pretended to be together in public.
"Then I had another dream with Tara, who told me that no matter what, I had to die. So I decided to throw myself into whatever I needed to. I took the dark mark-"
"What's that?" Kat asked.
"Voldemort's brand, it made me one of his. Everyone was pissed but I didn't really care. Then we discovered that Voldemort was planning on attacking the school the next day. WE prepared for it and when Dumbledore evacuated the Great Hall, I came here to get my weapons but my friends locked me in here. They didn't want me to die, so I did something that's impossible in Hogwarts, I apparated and joined the fight."
"Apparate?"
"Wizarding travel, ability to travel like that." She snapped her fingers to emphasize her point. "You have to be 17 but Voldemort made me learn."
"So is that when you died? You said a curse hit you."
Alexa nodded. "I was hit by the Avada Kedavara curse. It's an unforgivable curse that causes your death right away. Only, I didn't die right away."
Alexa hesitated briefly. She didn't want to elaborate on who had done it or what she had done to Lucius Malfoy.
"I got to say good bye to Draco. I realised the mistake I made with him and Dawn but I found out too late. I said good bye and died quickly after."
Kat was silent as she stared at her sister.
"What?" Alexa asked.
"That's just... it sucks."
"I know." Replied Alexa.
"So you and Draco, madly in love?"
Alexa nodded. "I love him Kat, so much." She said with a small blush.
"Well, gotta see if he meets my expectations. So have you guy.. you know.. had sex yet?"
"Oh my god Kat, you've been dieing to ask that since he kissed me huh?"
Kat gave a slay grin. "Well?" She pushed.
"No we haven't. but I'm not talking about this anymore, I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
"Right there with you."
The girls got into bed and were soon fast asleep.
