A.N. Wow, a chapter. Now don't get use to it. P I'm still busy but a friend told me he was waiting for me to update so this chapter is dedicated to Sean Malloy-1. (Sorry it has taken so long to get it written!)
Okay, so it's short. Be nice P
Chapter Five
Buffy
"Please, can you follow me?" the old man asked with a smile.
"How can we trust you?" asked Xander.
"I knew Dawn very well, and we grew close at her time spent here," he replied."Now, please, follow me to my office so we can talk privately."
Looking around the Scoobies noticed the kids openly listening to them. They hesitated for a second and then followed him.
"Who are you?" asked Willow curiously.
"I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of this school."
"So this is a school? What kind of school?" asked Willow.
"A school for witchcraft and wizardry," said Albus.
"Wha...?" Willow went speechless.
Entering the building they stared in shock at the tall ceilings but gasped at the moving pictures. At first they didn't know what to think of the gargoyles but when one spoke they went into kill mode. Then they realized it was protecting Dumbledore's office.
Once safely in and sitting down (the moving stairs had slighly freaked them out, but they thought it was run off of electricity, then the bird had burst into flames. So before they had sat down they had eyed everything warily) the Scoobies were ready to find out everything this old man knew.
"Now when did you say Danw came through a portal?" asked Buffy.
"It was about 20 years ago. I remember it like it was just yesterday. A bright light.." Albus started to say.
"What do you mean that was 20 years ago?" interuppted Giles in shock.Buffy just sat there in silence.
"Well, it was that long ago. I am surprised you only just came. Though Dawn said the portal took her into the past. She said it had taken her by surprise to find out the year. She stayed her for many years. We thought she was going to be a teacher here. Of course that was before..." trailed off Albus which was something very uncharacteristic of him.
"Before what?" asked Willow.
"Dawn left us many years ago. She had become friends with some of the children who went here. Two of them were murdered and on was sent to Azkaban, which is a prison here. After that happened she disappeared and no one has been able to find her," Albus admitted.
"Have you searched for her?" asked Buffy standing. "Where was the last place you saw her? What did she say?"
"We searched all over England and parts of America for her. I knew she came from California and thought she might have returned. As I said no one has been able to find her. The last person to see her was the two friends who were murdered."
Willow stood and tried to soothe Buffy but nothing would quiten the Slayer. Her little sister was gone and missing, and now she was even older then Buffy! It was to much to take in.
So here it is, in all it's glory. I hoped you enjoyed it, and I am sorry it was short. Thank you for reading it )
