"Mr. Giles!" They all turned and watched as a middle-aged man wearing a tweed suit entered the hall. He strode around the students and straight up to the podium. As he neared, Dumbledore frowned.

"Where's are your assistants?" Dumbledore asked, whispering.

"Faith went to investigate something." He saw the twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes disappear, "not to worry, she just went to see your groundskeeper, since he seems to know the forbidden forest better than anyone"

Dumbledore returned to his old self as he turned to face the students. "I believe it's time for lunch, so I want you all to be prepared for a hard lesson tomorrow. Now, go eat!"

Ron was already out of the room before Dumbledore finished speaking, quickly disappearing from sight. As he slammed the huge wooden doors of the great hall open, Ron saw the door leading out to the grounds shut. Frowning, he walked over and opened them just enough to see through. He saw a woman walking down towards the forbidden forest. He almost started drooling again as he saw her skin-tight jeans. Shaking himself out of it he watched as she turned and walked towards Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid you lucky bas- hearing voices getting closer, he shut the door and bolted over to the Gryffindor table, stuffing the first thing he saw into his mouth.

As Faith neared Hagrid's hut she could hear voices inside. Putting her ear against the door she could easily make out the booming voice of Hagrid, the other person she also recognized. That idiot! I told him to stay with the girls! Stepping back she slammed her foot against the door, sending it crashing off its hinges.

Hagrid immediately reached for his crossbow, while his companion bolted for the back door, only to be sent sprawling to the ground when a tea cup slammed into the side of his head. "What'd Yeh do that for!" the half giant shouted at Faith, gesturing to his friend, who was shakily rising to his feet.

"It's alright Hagrid," the man said "You can lower the crossbow" The man gingerly rubbed his head where the cup had hit and made his way over to Faith. "I'll see you later Hagrid" he walked out of the hut, Faith in tow.

As they walked away Hagrid swore he heard his mate say to the girl "isn't it usually you pointing the crossbow at someone"

Giles was seated in the teachers' lounge, engaged in a conversation with Binns, which, to all the other teachers, seemed worse than one of the history professor's lessons. The former watcher groaned as he heard Faith's voice from outside.

"YO G!." All eyes turned to him. "What's with this stupid Gargoyle!" a giant crash could be heard, and next minute Faith came charging through the door, dragging behind her a very nervous looking man with an eye patch.

"Xander!" Giles stated, shocked. The teachers immediately reached for their wands, but Giles waved them down. "What are you doing here, I thought you were staying back in Cleveland with the sl-sisters."

Real smooth G-man. Xander thought, chuckling slightly. He stopped though, when an elderly looking woman glared at him.

"I suggest you take him to the headmaster," She said, lips pursed.

Giles nodded and led them out the door, as they exited he couldn't help but notice the pile of rubble outside the door.

(I know it's kinda clichéd but bear with me, I originally planned to have Faith the teacher, but it seemed way to OOC for her. I promise I will try to be as original as possible with this story. And conversationswithdeadpeople, can you imagine buffy teaching a class, just like faith, it'd be too out of character for her. The story should pick up in the next few chapters. )
