Chapter 6 hook-up
Everyone at Hogwarts slept in that cool Saturday morning. That is everyone but Albus Dumbledore and Buffy Summers. The headmaster had awoken at 5 am to get some of his things ready while Buffy had at three because lack of being able to sleep. After a dream of seeing on how Dawn had died and Spike (along with Drusilla) had not helped much. After waking she had gotten dressed and decided to patrol the forest and Hogsmeade. Nothing had happened out of the weird as of yet. "Well, well, well how to see you here love. I hope you like my lil present" Buffy froze when she heard his voice. The slayer had actually gotten chills down her spine "Spike you get the hell away from me!" He had been making his way towards her slowly and was now at the most a foot away from her. "I have heard this tune before love, so why don't we go find a place so we can pick up where we left off". Then Spike kissed her passionately and tore her shirt. He broke away from her and she tried to scream. Spike then threw her against a tree so he could put himself onto her. But what he didn't realize was that it was the Whomping Willow. The tree thwacked him away from her and the both of their worlds fell into darkness.
Hours later after Spike had gotten away Draco Malfoy found her bruised, badly. He then ran and got Snape. Later in the Hospital wing Dumbledore, the Scoobies were there when she awoke. "OH dear god" the blonde said as she remembered on what had happened before getting knocked unconscious believing Spike had done what he had intended. Albus then dismissed the others for the moment so he could talk to her "You ran into trouble, yes?" All she could do was nod because she couldn't put her experience into words. Albus then went to get Willow, Xander, Anya & Angel. When they got near her bed {her bed has one of those separating sheet things} they heard objects being thrown. When Willow pulled the sheet away the sheet saw their slayer destroying everything she saw basically. Suddenly sensing them Buffy says, "I should have killed the bastard when I had the chance". The souled vampire didn't say anything at all but just walked away before anyone else could say another word. After everybody else had left and Buffy had gone back to sleep Draco Malfoy removed the invisibility cloak Harry had lent him. He had lots to tell to the Gryffindor teens.
-Dinnertime-
Madam Pomfrey had given Buffy a potion to get rid of the bruises. Buffy then did an invisibility spell on herself so she could go back to her room without being seen. Once the slayer changed into a sleeveless top that said ' drive thru theater' on it. It was brown/white and had brown ties wear the sleeves' would have been. Her pants were dark blue jeans that went down to the floor and she had brownish combat boots. By the time Buffy got down to dinner there who were already leaving. "Buffy, where were you? I was gonna come eat with you but your bed was all empty and Pomfrey said you'd be eating with us" Willow said to her very worried. The blonde looked at her and whispered" Don't worry; I didn't kneck somebody in the hallway like you". Buffy had said the joke as quiet as she could but Xander still heard her and started choking. Anya did a spell on him that saved him but before he could thank her she had been called elsewhere by a wisher. Xander then got up and walked off to his chambers. Buffy then quickly followed after him so as to see if was alright. Ginny & Hermione gasped after this. They had been the only ones who saw what had happened. Well student wise. Willow looked around and saw Severus looking at her with an unreadable look upon his face. 'He can't possibly like me at all. I'm a murderer & I'm an evil Wicca at that'. Snape however was having very much the same thoughts except instead of Wicca it was wizard.
-Gryffindor Common Room-
Draco had been waiting patiently for everyone to leave so he could Harry & them. An hour of waiting finally came through and he took off the cloak he had been hiding underneath. "Here's what has happened: Buffy had just finished patrolling & was near the spastic tree when she heard some fellow she called 'Spike'. He apparently tried to rape her and it ends up Angel & him are like, arch-enemies". Harry & Ron were surprised but Ginny & Hermione had more to tell." Also at dinner {after you lot had left already} Angel was making bloody mooneyes at Buffy. Xander & Anya looked like they were gonna hug or something but she disappeared suddenly. OH and Snape was looking at Willow like he would his best black cloak!" Ron, Harry, & Draco shuddered at the last thing.
-Sunday a week later-
Willow had decided to go to the potion's classroom and saw Severus in the room pacing 'Ah now we can talk'. The redhead thought as she closed the door. The potion's professor finally acknowledged she was there when she nearly slammed the door. He was gonna yell her to stop but it was too later. She shook the door to check it but it had locked the two of them in.
Her eyes went wide in shock as she realized her situation. She, Willow was locked in a very remote classroom with a cranky guy. "Um... you don't happen to know how that happened, do ya?" She asked while studying his face. He punched the wall before looking straight into her eyes "Dumbledore has decided to do a little match-making! I saw him do this once while I was a student here". He slowly made his way over to her "Um...question. Why would he put the two of us together in here though? It sure as hell doesn't seem like you like me at all". She was now looking away from him "Ah, you are very wrong there. It seems (as corny as this sound's) that you have bewitched me. I haven't felt this nice towards anyone in years! You're very beautiful so you can't say that you're not". He was now at the most 1-inch away from her and she was shocked. "Severus, I..."Willow stammered until he kissed her passionately!
-Buffy's chambers-
The blonde was lying on her bed when she heard a knock "Come in" she hollered. She had ignored the feeling she got because she misinterprets it as hunger. "Hi Buffy. I've come to say sorry for everything that I've done to hurt you. It was a slap in my face when I learned you had moved on so fast after our break up. I just ...freaked out, and I understand I had no right to act the way I did" Angel as he walked into the room and shut the door. She sat up "Angel I'm sorry too. I was the one who was being 'ye bitch of the year'. I have never really let us go. Riley was rebound guy but we all saw how that bomb blew up in my face. Spike...was just there and he had the same feeling as you. It felt like being with you. Like we had a small shred of hope for us still. There were times I believe I actually called him you but he didn't notice or didn't care." she paused "If you want to talk to Dumbledore about getting a class alone then its fine with me. I understand if you don't want to work with me". The pair was now a breath from each other except Buffy wasn't facing him. "We both have done stuff neither is exactly happy of. We can't change that. All we can do is move on" Angel had turned her around and they were now facing each other. Then she pulled him into a hug.
-Quidditch locker room {Gryffindor}-
Harry had decided to go into the locker room for his house to get his outfit when he got in there though he heard a shower running. He didn't think anything of it 'probably Fred of George'. He then starting changing, Harry was shirtless when he heard his name called. "Ginny! What are you doing in here?"
Her hair was wet and she was wearing her own Quidditch robes. "I wanted to practice but when I tried to leave to the field I couldn't. That was about an hour ago Harry" Suddenly Harry got an idea after trying to open the door himself but not succeeding "Accio Hedwig!" About a minute or two later Hedwig was there "Hedwig, get Ron here ". They waited for an hour till Hedwig finally returned with a parchment
-Harry
Um yeah...your owl attacked me & I don't bloody know why...So are you locked in a room with Ginny? Because I'm locked in a private area with Hermione! Do you have any clue why?
Ron-
Ps- you do anything to damage her honor / purity I SHALL get the wrath of the Weasley men upon you.
Harry & Ginny read the letter together and looked up at each other. The 2 wrote back
^Ron/Hermione
Well he was supposed to get you back here but since your stuck there that wouldn't be possible now. Were locked in the locker room. The reason is most likely {Surprise, surprise} a spell somebody has done
Ginny & Harry^
Ps – you git. Same goes for Hermione since she is like a sister for me :P
Immediately after they sent it Fawkes came in with a letter addressed to the both of them. And it didn't look good from the way Fawkes was scratching at him, and he never did that!
-Mr. Potter & Ms Weasley
The two of you have been locked into your area until the 2 of you make up. This may seem unfair to you but everyone is tired of this fighting or not talking to one another. And you two aren't the only ones who are locked up as you already now. The spell will wear off when you both have apologized.
Ps-it has to be a real apology to get out of the room
Then the two did the most natural thing people when they are locked in a room with some one they don't want to be with: scream for help. As loud as they could. Outside the locker room a few first years had heard the screams. They looked at each other frightened & scampered off.
-Library -
Ron's hair was now very messy because of him running his hands threw it as if it would help him think. Alas it didn't. "Ron, are you OK? I haven't seen you like this in ages" Hermione said sounding very concerned.
The redhead looked over at her and suddenly saw her in a new light. Her hair hadn't been bushy since Willow had given her a magic perm or something. Now it was silky like and the light bounced of it heavenly. 'How did I miss how beautiful & magnificent she really is' he thought. He then looked up at her "I don't know if I'll be OK Hermione. I just can't believe how much of a bloody idiot I am to not see how beautiful you are before now. I was to busy fighting with my head I guess to realize". Hermione then had a weird shine to her eyes "It's OK Ron. We both were, but it just took you a little longer to notice. I believe...I well...love you". The brunette managed to get out. It was a shock to the dear Weasley. He liked her, and she liked him back? "Err Hermione...would you...Um be my girl?" Hermione didn't say her answer. She did the most instinctive thing she could think of, kiss him straight on. The door unclicked then but neither noticed.
-Potions-
Five long agonizing hours had passed, at least it felt like that and the ex-deatheater had lost ALL of his patience now. He had apologized to her but she still had yet to. "Have you forgotten how to talk or something woman?" he growled at her. Willow didn't know what to say to him though. The dear redhead was still in shock about the very passionate kiss he'd given her "Severus...I don't know what to say. I admit that, yes I do have feelings for you but I'm not sure how strong they are if it isn't lust. I do know however that when I think about you that I immediately go into to total guilt mode. Tara's death is still an open cut to me, sometimes more then I can bear". He noticed she was crying and got a little angry "You think you're the only one of the two of us that has lost someone they deeply care about, opposite sex wise? Did you ever think that I lost a woman that wasn't my mother? I don't love you because your so much like Lily but because you understand me better then most people on this planet!"
They were now (yet again) in front of each other and their presence's so close to the others was intoxicating "I'm sorry Severus, sorry for everything that has happened to us that was bad. But I'm not sorry for those ...breath-taking kisses. Those have surprisingly helped me move on & are helping me discover whatever we have. And I tell you now, whatever it is, I love it so far". Then Willow practically jumped into his arms and then they kissed, yet again. Neither noticed however that their door had unlocked.
-Broom closet-
"You do know that if somebody finds us in here it'll spread like a fire, right?" Anya informed. Somehow Anya & Xander had been separately shoved into a broom closet, and they too, were locked in like the other couples. Xander wasn't freaking out, just following his instincts. And they were currently telling him to ignore her like she was an infection or the latest Britney Spears album.
-Buffy's Chambers-
"I take it your still angry then?" then a vase was flung at his head in response. Apparently Angel decided it would be good if Buffy knew about the day that wasn't. But what he didn't know was that she remembered after all "Of course I am you.... You...big jerk! I thought that that was one of my 'fantasies' dreams not a freaking real thing! How could you do a decision like that without me, again?"
Right now at the moment the only thing keeping Angel not banged up was he had his wand with him and he was repairing everything after it broke. Suddenly Buffy stopped the flinging as she realized her getting pissed because he wanted to protect her. She was pissed at him yes, but she was doing this to ANGEL! She had {luckily for Angel} stopped in mid-throw of one of her axes as she put it down on the floor. She then slouched into her chair. She was calm for 5 minutes when Angel decided to explain him self. "OK, IM going to take this chance to tell you why I did take it back. And please let me finish before the flinging starts back again. I didn't want to be the guy you were having to protect all the time and ended up dying. Besides.... I want you to be able to be with somebody who deserves you. All the stuff I did as Angelus...I can't truly be with you until I get my shanshu. So please understand this". The door then surprisingly unlocked itself then and Angel then left. Buffy was about to go after him when she got a letter from an owl that flew off in the direction of the headmasters office.
-Dumbledore's Office-
Albus was very pleased to know that only two couples were still locked up. It was only three in the afternoon to! However he had gotten some bad news. Apparently Voldemort has a hostage and the Hellmouth had opened over Sunnydale now. What the school needed now was another slayer with her own watcher! All the students knew 'the tale of the scoobies' since Buffy, Willow, & Xander had decided to tell them Tuesdays, Fridays after dinner, also on Saturdays in between meals. At the moment they had gotten to when Dracula had come to Sunnydale. The Headmaster went to the 'story hour' and enjoyed how the three dear friends explained their adventures, especially how they interrupted one another in mid-sentence.
But little did either of them know was that Wesley had gone to Hogwarts with Harry's Dad! He had been a Ravenclaw and hadn't had many friends besides Remus. Wes was the reason actually that Albus knew about the recent events of California.
~ Dumbledore
We have a major problem on our hands. The sun is not shining at ALL in L.A and the Hellmouth.... You can guess what happened since Buffy & the rest of them aren't there. Tell them about what happened. Also, I will be bringing my slayer Faith with me. Yes I know that I shouldn't break people out of jail but I had no choice! Please give everyone a warning before we get there
Wesley Wyndam-Price ~
It seemed that he still had his business attitude after all the years.
- Locker room-
Ginny's hair was now dry and frizzy; she had been putting it in many styles since they had calmed down a little. The two hadn't spoken to each other now for hours now and they were becoming fidgety-like. "Ginny …I…Err…Sorry" was all Harry could manage to get out. While he said it he got this incredible cute look on his face. It some what resembled a sad puppy who just wanted one of those annoying squeaky toys their owners gave them. Gunny looked up into his eyes to see if he was lying or not but he was already looking away and onto the ground.
"Harry… If anyone should be sorry it should be me! I'm the one who is acting like a bitch. It would be a wonder if anyone still thought I was nice what with the not talking to you over a whole other couples problem!". Harry then made eye contact with her. The boy who lived then made his way over to the dear redhead "Ginny, you aren't a bitch! You just get cranky sometimes, and everybody does that. Besides anyone who wouldn't want to be you're friend because you got cranky doesn't deserve to have your concern!" Harry was holding her with one hand caressing her cheek while the other on her lower back dangerously close to her butt. Ginny was no longer making eye contact because she was focusing on a spot above his head "Harry that's really sweet of you and-" suddenly she was cut off by her lips getting captured by his. Then while the two were kissing both failed to notice that their door had opened so they could leave. However they could have cared less about leaving that spot at the moment.
- Teacher's/ Professor's Lounge the next week-
Albus, Angel, Anya, Buffy, Xander & Willow sat in a circle waiting for the guests to arrive. Only Albus & Buffy knew who was to walk threw the door. After about 5 minutes they heard a pound on the door and in came Faith & Wesley.
"What? Faith, Wes what are you doing here? What happened? I told Lorne to tell you guys not to come unless a) end of the world or b) somebody died" Angel lectured them slightly. Faith just gave Wes a look and walked over to Buffy and gave her a hug "Hey B! So how did everything end up? Ya never did tell me". Buffy then whispered to her for awhile when Wes began to explain the situation to them.
"Well, the Hellmouth has over taken Sunnydale & Cordelia has a demon kid living in her. Also it ends up that it wasn't Cordy who came back but some demon pretending to be her" Only Faith & Buffy's eyes didn't bulge out at hearing this. After a few seconds Faith pulled away from Buffy & exclaimed "That butt wipe! So you want to go patrol now?" Everyone then looked at the rogue slayer with strange looks on their faces as they pointed towards the clock. It said it was four in the afternoon "So? We can get some punks in detention and give a good scare and by the time we're done with that we can patrol"
"Faith…I got plenty of stuff to beat the shit out of in my room…besides the students are scared of me as is. Lord knows what would happen if they knew you were here". Buffy then sees her confused look "OH they know the 'slayer tales' and we are about to tell them about my oh so fun adventure with Dracula. You know it" The two then walked off and the duo was actually acting like sisters who haven't talked in 15 years or something.
until next time,
