A/N. Hey guys. Sorry about leaving you hanging like that. It's just I went to go write the second chapter that I had already written and everything coming out sounded like crap, because I was trying to write something I had already written and no doing as well. So I decided I had to take chapter two in an entirely different direction. And that just was not working out. It's like the muses were all 'no kitty we will not feed you our inspiration, it's our inspiration.' Actually it kinda sounded like Cartmen, but that's not the point. On with the show, and I will give you details on unexpected at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 2: Dude… what?
Giles, Buffy and Dumbledore gathered around Dawn.
"What do you think it could be?" Buffy asked. Her voice was laced with that irritating amount of concern that said she was about to make a decision about Dawnie, and that Dawnie didn't get to say anything about it.
"Well I'm not quite sure." Said Giles. "We know she has magical abilities, that is of her own power and not Earth power like Wicca. So she is a witch, but she should be able to wield a want by all logic.
Dumbledore got a light in his eyes, which was noticed by the ever vigilant Buffy.
"What is it?" Buffy asked.
"Oh dear, I'm sure it's nothing."
"But you have something face. So spill it."
"Well it may be possible. There's no harm in testing the theory."
"What theory?" Giles interjected.
"Maybe Dawn should go back inside with the boys, and we could go someplace more private to discuss things Buffy, Mr. Giles."
"Would you guys mind not talking as though I'm not here? If I can be in on conversations about apocalypses then I can listen to a slightly less scary conversation about me. Dumbledore, what do you think it is?" Dawn said with her version of Willow's resolve face. And yes Dumbledore knew what it meant.
"Ever so sorry Dawn. You are right. There are legends among us," Dumbledore began in hushed tones. "of Wizards and Witches who don't need wands. They can use they're magic simply through a gesture or thought, with enough will put behind it; but it's always better for them to learn specific spells or they could end up being extremely destructive and not in control of their own power. But we haven't had one in our society for over 700 years. And we should keep this quiet as they are very rare and people will have mixed reaction. If indeed Miss Summers you are such a Witch then you will need a wand just to hide what you are from the other students."
"Oh." Dawn let out in an intimidated squeak. 'snap out of it Dawn. Time to be a grown up.' She cleared her throat and carried on bravely. "Well what do I have to do to test it?"
"I don't think we should do it here .Since all of your shopping is done, with the exception of your wand of coarse, lets go to the leaky cauldron. Buffy, use that mirror I gave you to get Willow and Xander. Dawn go get the boys. We have some work to do.
30 minutes later.
"Ok. We're here." Willow called out breathlessly as she and Xander ran into the room that the others were waiting for them in. "Sorry it took so long, couldn't get Mister Trip the Light Fantastic here to stop playing with the fire salamanders."
Xander blushed. "In my defense may I just say 'hey!'."
Harry grinned at the man he knew detested him simply because he's a teenage boy in proximity of Dawn. "Is that your only defense, because I just have to say that it's not very good."
Xander just glared. He didn't say anything because he knew it was true.
Willow decided to jump in and douse the tension a bit. "SO! Buffy said something about Dawn. What's going on? It's not Tuesday." She said with a nervous giggle. To tell you the truth she was a bit nervous, she didn't want her Dawnie to be in danger. It was always Dawn and she didn't want to deal with that, not just when she just thought they were all semi-safe.
Dawn got the giggle. "Willow chill. They just need to do a test to see if I'm a wandless witch. It's ok, we just wanted you guys to be here."
Willow sighed in relief and said. "Oh, well carry on."
Ron and Harry watched in awe and anticipation. They couldn't wait to see if she was, but let's face it. It would just complete the package of the coolest hottest girl they would ever meet.
"Alright Dawn. We just need a volunteer for you to use a simple Expelliarmus charm. It's a defense spell you will definitely need to learn."
Harry knowing the spell wasn't that severe and wanting to impress the girl of his dreams stupidly volunteered.
Dumbledore smiled knowlingly. "Very well Harry. Have your wand at the ready please."
Dawn walked to face Harry nervously. It would be just her luck to accidentally kill the first mostly human boy who liked her ever in the name of experimentation.
"What do I do Professor?"
"Dawn I simply want you to focus your will on Harry and say the word Expelliarmus. This will rid him of his wand. He may feel a slight jolt as your spell is a bit stronger than most, but by my calculations he should be alright."
Dawn nodded. She focused until she felt something warm and tingly in her had. She flicked it at Harry wanting to be gentle and said "Expelliarmus."
"AHHHHH" Harry screamed as he was flung into the wall and next room by the power Dawn used. But she was holding his wand. So he felt happy at her success. Who was he kidding, he was in pain. All he could coherently think was 'owie'.
"Oh my god, Harry I'm so sorry!" he could hear Dawn say as she fretted over him.
"Well that's one way to get a girls attention." Xander said. 'teach him to think my defence is 'not good' the little hormonal buttface. He might just end his fued with Spike long enough to kill this kid.
"Think of the devil and he shall come" Xander said.
"Well well, what do we have here gents?" said Spike.
Ok guys. Hopefully I'll update soon but I can't promise anything. As for Unexpected that will be put on hold until I get a minute. I'm in college now and it is not of the having a lot of time. I nearly flunked high school because of distractions and so I actually want to make an effort here. But I do promise that it will be up within the next two weeks. And as for this story maybe a week. Keep reviewing, you guys are the reason why I kept this up.
