Buffy stared at him for shock before her slayer senses kicked in and she turned to the headmaster and said "A red headed man in trouble, A snake is going to.." Harry butted in with a "kill him, How the hell do you know that. And who are you?"
Buffy rolled her eyes but inside her heart was pounding 100 miles an hour and she was having trouble focusing. She turned back to the headmaster and said "It looked like a basement of some kind and.." Harry butted in again and said "it's at the Ministry in the basement, Who are you? Are you a spy for Voldermort, How do you know about this?"…. "Answer me, dammit!"

She could clearly see him getting agitated at being ignored but a part of her just wanted to say well you ignored me and it isnt my fault you dont recognize me. Instead she choose the path which didn't lead to a confrontation and said to the headmaster "Well if my info isn't needed I'm going back to bed. Got classes to assist in the morning or rather today."

Harry watched in shock as she practically ran out of the room, the pieces were suddenly put together in his head. American. Blonde. Teaching here in the morning. American. Buffy. Harry spun around to face the headmaster and said "That was Buffy?"
Dumbledore nodded and stood having finished writing a note before heading to Fawkes and tying it to his leg. With a flash the phoenix disappeared and Dumbledore turned back to his student to find him gone. He scratched his beard in a thoughtful expression before going to the fireplace and informing the teachers of what has occurred. No doubt the Weasly children would need to be informed.

A part of him was very worried about Arthur but he was sure Fawkes would make it in time and Arthur would be in the hospital in no time. The other part of him however was very curious about the boy who lived and their resident slayer.

Harry ran the steps he knew so well at top speed, he however hadn't expected her to be standing around the corner from the steps leaning against a painting with tears running down her face. He hadn't stopped in time and found them suddenly sprawled on the ground in a heap. Buffy pushed him off her and got up, closed her eyes for a second before opening them apparently composed and said "What do you want Harry?"

He said "I uh wanted to talk to you". Buffy sighed and said "We have nothing to say to each other. Just leave me alone, or do you want to hurl more accusations at me?" Harry blushed and looked entirely embarrassed and said " I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. You changed a fair bit since you were 12 and I was a little panicked." Buffy took a deep breath reigning in her temper and said "Yes well it is called growing up, you should try it some time."

He was going to retort when another suddenly joined their conversation "Out of bed at this time of night, Potter and hassling Miss Summers, 40 points from Gryffindor." Buffy looked up at Snape and gave him a grateful smile and Harry gapped in shock.
Buffy nearly laughed at his next statement "You know Snape?" Buffy watched the professor scowl as he said "Professor Snape, another 5 points from Gryffindor." Buffy bit her lip and said "I'd quit while you can if I were you, He tends to like to take points from people even when the person isn't in a house."

She smiled at him and Snape rose an eyebrow clearly seeing what she was playing at and said "Well if wouldnt insist on wearing those infernal clothes I might not." She laughed and said "Yeah Yeah, keep telling yourself that is the reason". He smirked and said "Indeed, Run along to your room Potter before you lose more house points." He started walking away before turning back to Buffy and said "You coming?" Buffy looked at Harry's shocked face and said "Don't I always?"

When they rounded the corner he said softly "What was that about?" Buffy grimaced and said "We used to know each other when we were younger. He freaked out when I told him what I am in a letter and never wrote. Well technically he never wrote at all and sent back all the letters."

Snape nodded and said "Well you official 'freaked' him out, he will no doubt be running back to his little friends to tell them how I have corrupted you." Buffy said "pfft, you uncle snapey could never corrupt me. Your brother did that a long time ago." Snape grimaced at the nickname and said "Your sister's influence is starting to corrupt you and your brother more than my brother. She had the audacity to call me that during her first potion class. You need to talk to that insolent child before I do something drastic." Buffy laughed and said "We both know you would never do something 'drastic', I had five months of watching you to know that. So what did you do when she said it?"

Flashback

Snape held his head high as the first years stepped hesitantly in the room. He wanted to smirk as they hurridly took their seats but instead kept his scowl firmly in place. As the last first year entered the room he had to hold back a groan as he saw the twins sit down near the front.

Instead he said his normal speech with the whole if you expect to pass this class you have to take seriously and all that rot. He then waved at the board and a potion for making plants grow faster appeared on the board.

It was all going well except a few hiccups when suddenly

"Uncle Snapey, Where do you keep the basicliac root? Cayden cut it wrong!" Dawn asked in that annoyingly high pitched voice.

Snape's head swung to her faster than the blink of an eyes and he said "25 points from Slytherin for calling a teacher that name. The cupboard."

Dawn however was standing their gapping at him for a couple of seconds before seeming to gather her wits and said "But your like my uncle so shouldn't I be allowed to call you Uncle Snapey, Uncle Snape sounds so dull and.." He cut her off with "10 points from Slytherin for continuing to call me that name." She pouted and said "I so did not just call you that name I only theorised that I should be allowed." Snape scowled upon realizing she was right and said "Fine just get the damned root and be quiet."

The entire class was dumbstruck as they watched their professor take points of slitherin and then basically admit defeat. However seeing as how their professor now looked extremely pissed off the rest of the class continued without incident.

As the students were leaving Dawn and Cayden were walking out the door when Dawn shouted over her shoulder "See ya Uncle Snapey."

And then she disappeared but giggling could be heard.

End of flashback

Buffy gapped at him before closing her mouth and saying "Well um right, I'm gonna go to bed and contemplate that." She hid her smile as she turned around and started walking before she snuck a look back and said "Night UNCLE Snapey."

Snape scowled at her back before swiftly heading down the opposite corridor.

Author note:
