Chapter 2: Letters & Story time
Next Morning
Buffy decided to take a walk around the squid-infested-lake the next morning to try to clear her mind so she could figure out what her dream meant. The blonde had already figured that she couldn't go to that loony bin that had picked them up from the plane because she would just say 'Oh dear this means DEATH'. She was to busy focusing on her thoughts to notice somebody come up behind her
"Buffy are you OK?" Buffy jumped up really high from her resting spot and turned around to see who it was: Angel. IN the sun "What are you doing out here? And aren't you supposed to be able to fit in an ash-tray now because of the super-shiny sun?" Buffy slightly rambled. Angel realized then that he hadn't explained earlier his situation and what all he would be able to while working there at the very magical school
"Professor Snape gave me a potion so I could be outside during daylight. Now what is wrong? You're doing the pace you do when something is up, and do NOT deny it Buffy! You did that pace when we faced those assassins Spike sent your junior year of High School". Buffy then explained what she dreamt and how it had Dru and Spike in it. There were times he looked as if he was going to say something but never did until she was done. When she did she felt a little better that she had told someone about its oddity.
"You need to tell Dumbledore about this too. Last time I saw Dru was right before your mom's funeral. She's crazier then ever & you said she has Spike with her in the dream. Those two together in anything always equal trouble." Buffy said nothing to him but instead began her long walk to Dumbledore's office.
- His office
Albus had just finished reading Harry's letter to him. He was shocked to see what was in the letter
-Professor-
Last night I had a dream with Voldemort in it. With him were two vampires, from the looks of their faces. One was a Malfoy-ish blonde & seemed athletic and FAR into leather. The other a brunette and held a doll that was creepy looking. But next to me was a person who called herself Bunny Summers? IS she real /good/ on our side? Voldemort called her layer or something. I must go now before the others wake and begin to panic about me having dreams again.
-Harry Potter-
Ps- she touched my scar and it was glowing a lime light when I woke!
There were many things to wonder about now. Harry dreamed of Ms. Summers who was soon to be his brand new DADA professor. Harry and his odd connections with that positioned teacher every year it seemed he pondered.
Suddenly Buffy burst in with no happy face "Professor I had a dream about some dude named Lord Volition-". Cutting her off he says" Voldemort you mean? I know of the dream because the boy who was in it is Harry Potter."
Buffy was shocked to discover this. "He will be arriving to school earlier then the other students along with Hermione Granger, the Weasley's & Sirius Black. Don't tell Severus of Sirius though. They don't exactly get along well, very much like how your Xander and Angel did in your younger years. Yes they informed me of that time"
"When" the blonde wondered. "The Hogwarts Express would usually drop them off but seeing as does not seem acceptable or likely to protect them as few as there are of them, we will be using the same means of how Angel got here. It's called a portkey and will transport them onto the grounds in two days" she nodded her head and left.
- Meanwhile -
Willow was getting very aggravated with one Severus Snape. He was very cranky like and kept making her do the same damn potion over because it wasn't the right amount or she was pouring it into the wrong cauldron.
"Start it over Rosenburg. And please do get it right this time. Honestly if you were a student your house would be in negative points by now". Then Willow had finally had it but she had to resist the urge to flick him off "Oh back off Snape! Gosh could you possibly get ANY crankier?" Then Snape's nostrils flared at this remark "Look here little girl, don't take it out on me that you can't do a simple potion like this! I don't know why YOU of all people got asked to teach here? Oh wait, I know why: because you're a rank amateur and need a baby-sitter!" Those words echoed throughout the room and haunted Willow from a fight she had had from before. For a few seconds she stood there while tears formed and then made their way down her sad face. Snape then realized his mistake and was about to apologize when she quickly walked out of the classroom.
The young Wicca was half way down to the Great Hall when she saw Angel. She looked at him and studied his pale dead features. He had the ever-famous 'Buffy face' on. From the look of things they had already had another confrontation. Before she could say his name a hand covered her mouth and quickly pulled her into a room. She wormed herself out of the person's grasp to realize it was the Potions teacher. It didn't take Severus long to realize that her face was tear-streaked now but was showing much anger.
"What? Thought of another put down to make me feel more worse or something Sergeant Cranky?" He tried so hard not laugh but then realized the 'lovely' name she gave him and pinned her against the wall. "Listen, I am sorry OK but must you be so tiring? I don't know weather to poison you or-". They both stood in that position for quite some time silent. Barely an inch away from each other's face while other parts of their bodies weren't. Suddenly realizing the, rather interesting sight they must be in, they jumped away from each other. As if electrocuted by a stray wire from a cord. "Whatever". With that Willow stormed off and Snape headed to the safety of his chambers: which were on the other side of the school from hers.
-At lunch the next day-
It didn't take the other professors long to notice that something had happened. The tension could have been cut with a knife. Buffy & Willow were sitting at the far end of the Staff table, Xander at the opposite side of them & Angel sitting there gloomily.
Then the tension broke when they all heard somebody trying to get through the doors of the Great Hall. Everyone that was supposed to be there was there and nobody was supposed to arrive till the next day.
"Harry just move, we'll pick the lock -muggle way. I just hope it works because I'm starved." Fred Weasley said behind the doorway. Willow calmly got up ran to the door and opened the door then to see quite a group in front of her. Buffy took a look around the group and saw Harry right in front of her.
"Why hello! Where have you been all my rule breaking life" George says to the blonde slayer. "Mr. Weasley I would curb that if I were you. Those two ladies in front of you are new professors." Dumbledore explained.
"No way! They couldn't be more than 19 years old, can they?" Harry questions.
"Awww how flattering for Buffy, lets hope she doesn't pull a 'James and Miss Newman' type of deal." Everyone turned and looked at Anya with weird looks while the scoobies glared. While she was speaking she made her way down to them and whispered into Buffy's ear "Can I please scare them?"
"All right, but only once". Then Anya put on her vengeance look that caused the young Gryffindor's to jump.
Then they introduced one another when Buffy says "Um not to be mean or anything but, weren't y'all supposed to get here...tomorrow?". "We aren't patient" Hermione explained. Willow then realized that this was her chance to get away from Snape "Well Buffy & I will walk you guys down your common room and we can get to know each other better. Except we won't make you guys that thing where you have to do an essay on your life up till know." Willow babbled. The young Gryffindor's just smiled & nodded. The group the way to C.R while Xander joined them.
C.R. (Common Room)
"OK Um I'm Buffy Summers, the DADA professor. Also I'm a vampire Slayer. Not married, having to adjust to the fact that the first guy I EVER loved is now my Co-teacher."
Everyone was going around saying who they were and a fact about themselves or how they knew the others. They couldn't think of any other ice-breakers.
"The guy you first loved was Professor O'Connors? He's such a hottie" Ginny said. Buffy muttered something but nobody heard what she said.
They all talked until midnight when Angel came in with a not so happy puppy look upon his face. "Buffy, you're supposed to be patrolling and NOT goofing off". His eyes flashed yellow as he growled it out. "OMG back off! I can patrol tomorrow night. Now go away before I do something neither of us will like" Buffy said as she pulled out her stake to prove she was far beyond kidding.
George jumped up to stop the fight forming "Come on! Break it up, make peace or I'll pull out a prank war on you". Buffy just flicked off Angel and turned around back to face the group. Apparently that was a BIG mistake. He goes up behind her & throws her over his shoulder! Buffy tries for awhile to get out of that position but fails. Nobody else dared to tell their new Professor, let alone the DADA vampire, to put her down.
He took her all the way to the forest. He put her down finally and before Angel could speak a word to his favorite blonde that stood before him he noticed she had tears coming down her face. 'Why would she be crying?' he wondered. "Don't do that to me Angel. Don't screw with my emotions because I don't think I can deal with the remains of us right now." While she spoke her voice was calm yet wavered because she was still crying a little bit."
"You must have been really hurt that your precious Spike left you huh? Loved him, did you? It's rather funny once you think about it, I left so you could have the normal thing but instead you got him. I hope you two have the happy ending we didn't." Angel stated bitterly, then walked off leaving her in shock.
"Um Professor Summers are you going to be all right?" She turned around to see Snape: the creepy-dude Willow has to work with." I don't know" Buffy then ran into his arms and sobbed. This shocked both. 'How could this small girl have to deal with so much pain? It's going to get herself killed'. "I have died twice in order to help the world but they keep screwing me over. When are they ever gonna stop? The man I love believes I love William the Bloody! Gosh I wish that everything would go back to nice like it was when I was dead." She was gonna say more but he covered her mouth with his hand. "NO! I will not let you get all depressing so come with me".
She followed him to a classroom full of cauldrons in which Buffy assumed that it was his & Willows. Buffy was silent while he made the potion. He gave it to her as soon as he finished it and informed her that she needed to drink it before bed that evening. She took it to her room and drank it. Little did she know was that she would NOT be waking the next couple of days. What the slayer did not realize though was when Snape was running out of the Potions Chambers, his hair turned blonde and was really Lucius Malfoy!
will post the next one asap. Am doing a re-write of the last chapters currently and hope y'all like it :D
