Disclaimer: Yet again if you didn't get the picture before I own nothing from this story except the plot. Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire slayer belongs to whoever the hell created them.

A/N: Okay so now you know where our favorite Scooby's are placed within the whole house system thing. I hope you are all happy with the sorting but if not just deal with it. Remember that all criticism is completely welcome so review. Thanx...

Chapter Eight:

Introductions and FOOD!

To put it lightly Xander was soo excited that the whole sorting thing was over. Of course it had nothing to do with nerves, his glee was more about the anticipation of dinner. It seemed like hours since he ate and Xander and food were like a match made in heaven. So when the G-man told them to take their seats at their respective tables his reluctance to go was kind of surprising.

Since they all started school in Sunnyhell all meals and classes were spent together. Being placed into Hufflepuff seemed cool and all until the moment Xander realized none of his friends would be with him. The others were fine though, Buffy had Faith with her which could be considered either good or bad depending on who you asked. Together they could cause so much mayhem at least six teachers quit working at the Sunnydal Magic Institute in only five years. All Slytherins and teachers beware.

Coming up to an empty seat at the table at the far side of the Great Hall with bright yellow flags hanging over head. Everyone in his new house seemed to be staring at him in utter curiosity. As he sat down the food seemed to magically appear in front of him and all worry about not knowing anybody went out the door.

"Hello there," said the boy next to him that looked about his age with curly brown hair. "I'm Justin Finch-Fletchley and welcome to Hogwarts."

"Hey, I'm Xander Harris. It's nice to meet you." he said as he began to pile everything within arms length onto his plate.

"So you're an american then?" the girl across the table from him asked as she stared at the mountain of food on his plate with horror. "You can't really eat all that can you?"

"Yeah, born and raised in Sunnyhell California. Whats your name?" Xander replied completely ignoring her last question as he started gobbling up the food.

"Oh, I'm Hannah Abbott. Are you a 6th year also?" Hannah asked him as the rest of the surrounding Hufflepuff's listened on.

"Yep we're going to be 6th years here..."

lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

Even as they were approaching the table Willow and Oz could feel the other Ravenclaw's eyes following their every move. It didn't really matter to Oz that they were openly staring but Willow was another story completely. As they took their seats the table slowly began talking amongst themselves whispering continuously about them.

"Xand's probably in food heaven right about now," Willow said as soon as the food magically appeared on the table.

"Undersatement," was all Oz said as he and Willow began serving themselves.

"Which one is Xand?" the girl directly across from them asked with a not all the way there expression on her face. She had long light blond hair with strange pumpkin earings on.

"Oh his name's Xander actually and he was sorted into Hufflepuff. My name is Willow Rosenberg by the way and this is Daniel Osborne but we just call him Oz. What's your name?" asked Willow feeling oddly comfortable in the strange girls presence.

"I'm Luna Lovegood, nice to meet you. Those girls you came with are they mean?" Luna said glancing over at the Slytherin table wondering if Harry's childhood friend was like Malfoy and the others.

"No way, Buffy's one of the nicest people I've ever met and Faith... well Faith grows on you. What would make you think they were bad?" Willow immediately jumped to the defense of her friends.

"Well because they are in Slytherin," Luna replied in a vague way like she was expecting them to understand what that would mean.

"So?" Oz finally asked in his usual mini sentences. He was the guy of little words for a reason.

"Slytherin's are know for turning to the dark arts. Most of them end up joining Voldmort's death eaters." replied Luna turning back to her new acquaintances.

"Nope they are completely non- evil," Willow said not really liking the sound of Buffy and Faith being around these supposedly evil people, but what could she do about it...

lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

" I can't believe that stupid hat sorted her into Slytherin!" Harry exclaimed as she watched Buffy and the slightly scary brunette girl sit over at the Slytherin table right in front of is ferret boy himself and his minions/

"You don't even really know if its her," Ginny said after she turned back from her fifty glance at the boy sorted into Hufflepuff.

"Ginny's right Harry. Its been six years since the last time you saw Buffy. A lot can change in that time. She could look completely different now..." Hermione was telling him as he sent glares in Malfoy's direction.

"That stupid git is talking to her," was all Harry said as he completely ignored Hermione talking to him. By the look on his face Harry seemed ready to curse anyone who even thought of talking to Buffy...

lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol

"Well these people look full of fun," whispered Faith her voice dripping with sarcasm as they walked to the two empty seats at the head of the table.

"Now what could possibly give you that idea... is it the cold looks or the snearing?" Buffy whispered back as she looked at the people they were now stuck with for the next two years. Needless to say the mean glares weren't very friendly.

"Well well well look who it is..." a cold voice from across the table spoke to them from across the table as they sat down right as the food appeared as the feast began.

"How've you been Bleachy?" Buffy asked him with the most innocent smile she could muster. Apparently the rest of the table was listening in on their conversation because she received a few muffled laughs and a ton of death glares from the other students. It was like they thought they were intimidating.

"Show a little respect you stupid yanks!" the pug faced girl next to the Malfoy guy said her voice dripping with venom as if she were better than them in some non-existant way.

"Whats so great about this whole 'respect' thing everyones been telling us about?" Faith said as if the concept was completely foreign to the both of them.

"I know, its not like you're any better than we are... lets see two arms, two legs, a head of course yours is a lot larger than ours," Buffy said as she watched the mini Spike's face start to grow redder and redder as time went on.

"But does he have a brain? That's the real question isn't it?" Faith asked in a serious voice as if it were a real problem.

It was to bad they never got a response from the Billy Idol wanna be because the Headmaster Doubledoor or something dismissed them all from the beginning of the year feast. Everyone just seemed to pile out of the room.

Before they could follow though a cold hand was placed on both of their shoulders. Turning around they were faced with the pale face and extremely greasy hair of one of the teachers. They both had to bite back remarks about his appearance after all Giles had ordered them to be on their best behavior and not to do anything he wouldn't do which was basically a lot.

"Professor Dumbledore has informed me that the two of you will be sharing a private bedroom of the Slytherin common room. Follow me..." the guy told them before he walked away expecting them to follow.

"Dramatic much..." Buffy whispered to Faith as they caught up to their guide.

"I can't believe we get our own room this is awesome..."
