Chapter 3: Happenings, accusations & chat rooms?

12 hours. That was how long it had been since anyone had contact of any kind with the, sometimes runaway blonde slayer.

Xander, Willow, Harry, Ron, Hermione & the Weasley twins all believed it had been Angel's fault that she was missing since what had occurred in the Common Room. Ginny had a small hope that she had gotten away from the swoon-worthy new Professor but was attacked by Peeves and was stuck in lord knows where. Snape had a feeling it had been his faults because some of his potions material had been locked up in his room were now missing as well. So breakfast at the moment was not the most peaceful, quiet thing since everyone was yelling at the other.

"Ah screw this I am just gonna go up to her room and check!" Willow finally yelled after getting into a fight with Snape, again. When she got inside Buffy's room though what she saw gave her mega-Wiggins. Buffy was in the state of shock, except puffy eyes now, as she'd been when Glory has taken Dawn those years ago. Then Willow did the only thing she could think of at the current moment to get any help: scream at the top of her lungs!

Back at the Great Hall everyone looked at each other when they heard Willow. Then Snape, Angel, Xander, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Anya, Weasley twins & Dumbledore ran into the direction of Willow's scream. When they got there they saw Willow standing in the doorway crying with her face facing downwards

"Willow, what is it? You're starting to freak me out." Xander said, she then looked upward and everyone gasped. Her eyes were black "Remember what Buffy was like when she was in that type of coma thing when Glory took Dawn, well she got back in it." Angel was the first to run into her room. Her hair was messed up and knotty. Her peasant top she had been wearing the previous day was hanging on one shoulder but not exposing anything. Her eyes, which were usually beautiful, were now red, puffy and wet. 'Oh my gosh did I do this to her? I really am a monster' he thought, which was one of his usual thoughts around her if Angelus was not trying to get in a word.

"Will, you have to do what you did last time-" Xander said but Willow cut him off angrily. "NO! I can't! Or did you forget what happened only 3 freaking months ago? If I do, I can never come back." Snape looked at her face as she spoke and realized that she had tangoed big time with black magic. Then Albus spoke up after it was silent for a while and gravely said "Then we will take her to the hospital wing and let her wake up on her own". Angel then picked her up into his arms as if trying not to break a china doll.

The next couple of days were rough on all of them. Willow & Xander told the young Gryffindor's everything that they had been through since they have meet Buffy. Angel only stayed next to Buffy's bed & seemed to be getting weaker by the days. It had been 4 days now since they discovered her. Little did they know Voldemort had made Malfoy make the potion for her. So of course at the moment the death eaters and he were having a hootenanny. Snape knew this and was working alongside with Willow to fix it. He told Willow about the ingredients and she didn't believe it was his fault for some reason. She knew that as long as he was helping Albus and giving them ingredients she knew to be good, he was a good man to trust.

Hermione was currently doing what she did best, and that was of course: research. The only times she took a break were meals, restroom, showers & sleep. She too had been doing this for days. To be exact, since they found Buffy in her bedroom. Ron & Harry helped her and so did Xander & Anya when the 2 scoobies learned of what they were doing because they couldn't very well find it all by themselves. After all it's better to work together. Finally Hermione let out a squeal that oddly resembled Willows old one when she found the answer. Of course it scared the crap out of them in the freakishly silent library. Ron turned and looked at her weirdly "Um I take that means that you have found something?"

"I did. It's an ancient spell that was last used a long time before Dumbledore was even considered of being born! Anya may have been alive though, but probably when she was a baby. The poison was called Venica, which had meant baddest bad back in the day. The spell to get rid of it is called thahanh. Chinese for peace or something. And before you speak the poison is only used in potions and once it is inside of you, you can go... What did she say? Oh...catatonic. But when you are you see all your most painful memories". As if something clicked in his head Ron sprinted towards Snape's classroom. When they got there they saw Snape freaking out. "Damn it all to bloody hell! That little rat of his must of known the slayer was coming to Hogwarts. So he must have sent one of them to screw with all of my ingredients". They heard the potions master ramble/yell.

Hermione was the first to realize he was not alone in the Potions quarters, "We found the cure Willow".

"Then what the hell are we doing just standing here then?" They then all ran as fast as they could to the Hospital Wing. Willow was the first to get there with Snape at her heels and others closely behind him. Angel looked as if he was glued to his spot "Angel we have a cure" he looked up and everyone gasped. His usual look was replaced was a rugged one with crazy eyes, like a drunks, and clothes were dirty. Willow looked around and realized that Dumbledore was there as well. "Well go on, you can perform it". And they all looked around for awhile until they all looked at Hermione. "I can't. It has to be a way more powerful wizard/witch to do it." Then they all looked towards Dumbledore. "I no longer have a wand since my phoenix accidentally sat on it last week and ma currently awaiting a new wand".

Anya was looking around as if thinking harder then she has in her entire life "Um...I think I know who should, Willow. I know your still recovering but somebody can just wish you to normal if things get out of hand or whatever". Willow thought really hard about it for minutes and then gave her answer: yes. She took several deep breaths before telling them all to stand back. Willow then performed the spell and suddenly was no longer in the Hospital Wing but in Buffy's mind.

Buffy's mind

The red headed witch entered right when Buffy's parents announced their divorce back in LA. Then it changed to another image that seemed rather recent. Spike was in the bathroom with Buffy while she was getting ready for a shower after what looked to be the fight with Warren in town before he shot Tara. Then something happened she was very un-aware of, Willow was very shocked: Spike attempted to rape Buffy! He was extremely lucky she was on another continent from him right now, otherwise spells would be flying!

After a while he left and then a new image came. When Riley left her in the forest on the helicopter. Willow then decided to come in "Buffy you need to wake up, please!" she said desperately. Realizing her best friend was there; she looked over to her and was crying as she told "I can't Will, I'll be left all alone". It was then when Willow realized the purpose of all the certain flashbacks. All of them were when she was left by the ones she loved or cared for. "Buffy, I promise I won't leave you as long as you don't leave me". That was really what she needed & that was when they both went back.

-Hospital wing-

Willow had vanished in front of their eyes over an hour ago. And Buffy looked as if she was going to hell during her sleep. When suddenly Buffy woke up gasping and Willow appeared next to her! Angel immediately hugged the slayer while Willow fell to the ground weak while Snape helped her up a little.

When Willow made eye contact with the group her eyes were black again and she was now crying herself "Why didn't you tell me...I never had a clue". Buffy then looked over at her best friend and told her "Thanks Wills, I guess I just needed somebody to tell. And PLEASE keep some of that stuff private".

"Ah Ms. Summers, welcome back to the world of consciousness. It seems the 'big bad' as you would put it back in Sunnydale, has poisoned you. From what Severus tells me is that some of his supplies are missing and believes one of the death eaters may have tricked you some how by trying to calm you down by appearing as Severus as to fool you" Dumbledore explained.

Harry's POV

'Wow' that was crazy'. Me, Ron and Hermione were now back in the Common Room after Anya took us there. That was about two hours ago now but still had the craziness in it. "Do you guys fell like making a magical chat room that isn't on a computer, like it but on parchment?" Hermione asked. That proved how incredible bored we are. Ron had been forced to study muggle objects earlier in the summer so he knew what she was talking about. "Sure" Ginny said as she descended down the stairs. I realized how beautiful she looked in the lighting. Now that I had finally gotten over Cho, just to fall for Ginny. By now though probably she was over me, knowing my luck. What's up with the Potters being attracted to redheads?

Normal

1 hour later they got the chat up and everyone had gotten a chat name. Sirius & Remus were gonna get in the chat too.

Ron had chosen the name FeReTHaTeR. Hermione was Book Worm. Ginny was lil'red. Fred & George had fought over the same name and chose together, Tolietsenders. Harry was 2-famous.

Lil'red: hi Professor Lupin! Or do I call you something else now that your technically not our Professor anymore?

Cokedupwerewolf: Mooney is fine...Ginny? So I suppose Harry told you & who knows how many others everything?

Tolietsenders: just all the younger Weasleys grins

Bookworm: Hello Mooney! That was the twins and Ginny there.

Tolietsenders: well... Um... Yeah

Lil'red: I want the two to hook up because then he'll be more concentrated on sex with her and not us screwing up on a potion!

FeRetHaTeR & Tolietsenders: GINNY WEASLEY! YOU DONT EVER SEND US THAT DISTURBING IMAGE TO US AGAIN! And since when do YOU say stuff like that?

Cokedupwerewolf: from what I hear from Albus (Professor Dumbledore to you lot) she got it from her brothers

Lil'red: guilty as charged... : P
