Chapter 7- Bloody Quidditch
Every student noticed that there were two unfamiliar faces, that they could not quite get a helpful look at the pair sitting upon teacher's table at the beginning of the meal.
"Attention Hogwarts! We have some visitor's with us, as you must have noticed and I thought you might like to know who they are. The young lady is Faith the Vampire Slayer. She has just gotten out of her sentence so she would be able to help Buffy so don't test her abilities, she is short on patience and WILL attack you if you anger / tease her. Next to her is Wesley Wyndam-Price. He has changed from the stories now so joking or teasing him unless you love pain or losing points. Make them feel welcome because they are going to be here for quite awhile!"
All the students looked scared when they saw Faith but more scared when they saw Wesley because his new rugged look. Half-way threw dinner a cloaked figure came threw the main hall and did a quick wave towards the Gryffindor table as they made their way towards the head table which no one at the table really knew who it was for. The person whispered to Dumbledore for a few seconds until the headmaster nodded and announced, "Ah will all the Gryffindor's please stay after the meal please. I have to speak to you about something". The meal ended and the Gryffindor's stayed wondering what was going on. Once everyone had left the hall the mysterious figure removed their cloak to reveal: Oliver Wood!
"Hey everyone! The reason I'm here is because the headmaster thought we should teach the Sunnydale crew how to fly seeing as Madam Hooch has gone on holiday and at the end on the year the team who wins the House cup play them. Now if they do play on your house you have to treat them as if they were of your own house, understand? This is just something to have you lot relax a bit".
Both slayer's looked at each other when he mentioned flying "So let me get this straight British dude, us Scoobies are gonna be on brooms that are in the air flying while playing with students?" Faith questioned him.
He then looked over the slayers and told them "I couldn't have summarized it better myself, and it would seem that you two would be beaters". Fred/George grinned at this "Hey Oliver, we will train if you want us to!" George said this while having one of those look's he got while thinking of a mean prank. What he didn't notice was that the slayers had the same look on their faces as well. "Now Wesley, Giles will resume their positions from when they were students here back in the day. We just need to get somebody else now; we will figure that out tomorrow. The rest of you be at the field by 9 am so goodnight"
-Quidditch Field-
The next day almost all the students were in the stands. Most of the Slytherin's weren't there and nobody wanted to now where they were most of the time as they usually were just picking on first years or plotting of some kind.
"This sucks Giles & Wesley get to stay in their nice warm beds while we get to freeze our butts of because they already have their own position" Willow complained. "Well it does suck and all but we will get more practice then them if one thinks about it, from what Harry told me it's like basketball & football." Faith got a huge smile at this before Oliver started.
"OK Sunnydale crew, mount your broom's like this and grip tightly now!" he informed them. Anya's, Faith's & Xander's eyes went wide at the last comment. Buffy finally said, "Err, Oliver are we still talking about Quidditch? Because that sounds so not PG there and there are some young students here!" Everyone (minus Angel and a few others whom just rolled their eyes) burst out laughing. Apparently somebody had put the snorus charm on the field.
It took a good while for all them to stop laughing and finally get the Scoobies up in the air. Buffy & Faith had clubs in their hands and the Weasley twins were now showing them what to do. The others however; Oliver was testing them to see who would be best for the remaining positions. Buffy & Faith were in the middle of being showed how to do their positions when suddenly Buffy heard something that shouldn't be in the forest, especially during sunlight. The girl's shared a look before the blonde flew of into the forest. Everyone in the stands noticed this and watched in marvel. However their attention was taken back onto the field when Willow let out a squeal, she had been able to block 30 balls in a row. Faith flew over to her and gave her a high-five.
Half an hour later they had found that Xander would be the third chaser. But there had still been no sign of Buffy. "Gosh I wish Buffy was here so we could all goof off with our positions together" Willow said. Anya didn't hear this, which either way she would have said something but suddenly Buffy rolls onto the field with an unrecognizable person on her.
She's beating the crude out of them until he yells "Will you bloody well stop it already? Just let me fuckin' explain-". Her eyes then went into slits "EXPLAIN? EXPLAIN! " Buffy then continued beating him into a pulp. The Scoobies then flew over and turned the person towards them. Or should I say vampire? The group then got looks of disgust, shock & anger when they got good looks at William the Bloody. "Petrificus totalus". Willow shouted at the pair fighting while stunning them in the process. Everyone one the field turned and looked at Willow. Her eyes had gone black, luckily the students could not see. The Quidditch position try-outs for the day were officially over.
Inside the Hospital Wing stood Willow, Wesley, Giles, Faith, Xander, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione & Professor Dumbledore. Harry and them were aloud to stay because they had helped carry the two up. On the way to the wing though Buffy had been knocked unconscious by accident even Spike though was very awake. "Spike if you don't explain yourself right bloody now, you'll see my nasty side!" Giles yelled at him while his face went an unusual color.
"Listen here watcher, do you have ANY clue what's been going on in the states right now? Well let me fill you in on my past six months or so. You see I went to go get my chip removed with the help of this demon in Africa but the bloody bastard made me like the poofter". He looked at the confused look's on their faces and explained "IN other word's he gave me a bleeding' soul. I got to L.A and Drusilla visited me but then Dru turned into me mum. Then they introduced them selves as The First. So they have been torturing me & posing as me. Now I was possessed when I came here. I don't remember much besides waking up with my skin burning and Buffy sleeping about 10 feet away from me. I finally broke free from them & have been hiding in the shack that I've heard the villager's call 'Shrieking Shack".
Only the adults knew about the first slightly "Spike I know about the First striking. They blew up the Watcher's Council after I…err…borrowed some books on them". Buffy had awoken in the middle of Spike explaining things and was more or less shocked about this "Giles, is this the same eye-less dudes that got Angel that one Christmas my senior year? Because if I remember correctly they can take form of any dead person". Noticing she was awake, Spike looked at her with a rather sad look on his face. But she refused to make eye contact with him. Finally after a long discussion everyone left the room, leaving Buffy & Spike alone so they could sleep. Spike on the other hand wanted to talk to Buffy "Buffy I-". She cut him off before he could finish/start "Don't even talk to me Spike. Just don't, okay? I can't deal with you right now. And just so you know as a heads up, Angel's here teaching & I'll never EVER trust you again". While Buffy spoke her voice was full of hate & sounded very bitter. She fell asleep soon after that but Spike hadn't been granted that as easily though.
-Next Day - {AN: it Saturday}
Buffy had been released from the wing in the morning & she decided to go to the Gryffindor C.R. When she got there was not a soul in sight. The slayer then looked at the clock and it said 'breakfast…might want to get it'. Buffy wasn't hungry so she just waited for the gang to come back. An hour or so later they came in smiling.
Then Ginny spotted her & let out a squeal as she runs up to her & hugged her. 'Wow this girl has one good grip' Buffy thought. Harry, Hermione & Ron noticed Buffy to and just waved as Buffy got Ginny off. The 5 talked for a good while until Ron suddenly yells "Oh, I almost forgot, Willow told Angel about what happened at the Hospital Wing". Buffy's eyes got wide & he now had her attention as she leaned into as if asking with her body for him to go into more details.
"I know this because we overheard her. After she said it he said a bunch of words in like some other language and stabbed his food very violently which scared some of those first years he did. Then before leaving he muttered something about chains then stomped off". Harry, Ginny & Hermione just nodded in agreement to what he just told her. She finally chuckled out "well, it's nice to know Angel still curses in Gaelic". The Weasley's then gave her looks of confusion. So she explained "Angel was born in Ireland back in the 1700's". Harry then asked the ultimate question they wanted to know at the moment, " Um professor is it cool if I ask you a question?"
"Yes"
"Are you giving up on Professor O'Connor?"
Buffy's face then got a sad sort of smile "for now".
Then to lighten the mood, Ron changed the subject to pranks "oh guys Padfoot & Moony are coming back to Hogwarts!!". The Scoobies knew about them because they overheard them talking about them once and forced the three to explain. Also they had threatened them with detention.
"They want to meet our new professors & possibly date one or 2 of them". Buffy blushed at this comment. "Buffy can we give you & Anya a blind date with one of them? If you wind up not liking them in THAT way you can just be friends, they'd be cool with that. They just wanna know more women their age- please!" Harry begged with his puppy dog look on his face. It was as soon as she said yes that Harry & Ron got evil looks. Yeep badness was gonna happen Buffy could sense it.
-Later that day-
It was now lunch and Buffy was trying to convince Anya to go on the double-blind date. She however was skeptical about it. "Buffy, are you sure? I mean what if they are perverts or something?" Buffy chuckled at that remark "Anya, Harry is the one setting us up. They are like his parents!" After thinking for awhile she finally said yes as well. And they then began to talk about their outfits they would wear along with wondering where the heck they'd go on their dates.
Happy Turkey Day! Enjoy and hit the lovely review button : D
