Author's note: The spells used in this are a mixture of some thing from the book series "The Circle of Magic" by Tamora Pierce and Charmed but I added my own twist to it to make it what I needed

Everyone noticed the new closeness between Harry and Draco when they returned with the food but no one called them on it just yet. 'First bad guy, then teasing,' Buffy thought before mentally sticking her tongue out at Giles and thinking, 'see Watcher-mine, I can prioritize.'
Sirius didn't ask anything about it either just walked over to Draco and whispered in the boys ear, "do anything to hurt him and you'll see exactly why they thought I was an insane mass murder."
Even thought Draco knew Sirius was innocent of the crimes he was accused he had no doubt the man could do exactly what he promised and just nodded a little fearfully at the older man.
Sirius gave Draco a long look before finding what he was looking for and giving the poor boy a feral grin before going back to work.
Harry had no idea what was said but from the look on Draco's face and his godfather's grin he could guess and couldn't help but snicker at the other's plight causing Draco to shoot him a glare.
It didn't take long to gather all necessary ingredients, the most important being the food in Xander's view. Now just came the argument on who would do the spell while Willow was mixing the herbs for 'Mage Sight' and neither Giles nor Sirius wanted to wear the pink heart shaped glasses that Harry and Draco had procured. Finally after a coin toss Giles lost and agreed to wear the glasses.
"Nice look G-man," Xander snickered from behind Buffy where he had taken cover when he saw the older man.
The others couldn't help it seeing their tweed clad stuffy English librarian/watcher/mentor in sparkly pink heart shaped glasses was too much and they all lost it.
"If you are quite done," Giles said in an irritated voice as the others quieted down. "Now Willow are you sure you've drawn the runes right."
"Yeppers," Willow answered still giggling somewhat, "and don't worry if they aren't right it's not like every girl in school will all be madly obsessed with you are anything," she added with a somewhat pointed look at Xander.
"Hey that was a one-time thing," Xander exclaimed.
"Quite," Giles added.
"But really this is more about the herbs and the intent than saying any spell or anything," added Willow to try to put Giles more at ease.
Giles just sighed, "let's just get on with it please. How do I work these dratted things?"
"Oh, just look around you should start to see a glow around things that have magic," Willow said.
Giles looked around and noticed the faint glimmer of magic on some things. For instance Willow was surrounded in a faint green glow probably from the earth magic she used while his had a darker tint to it probably from his younger days as Ripper and the dark magic he had gotten up to whereas the wizards each had a glow all their own from their own natural magic and just seemed to be contained in their skin unlike his and Willow's that just surrounded them. He was surprised to see that the others had inherent magic like the wizards though he really shouldn't of been what with them being the slayer, a warewolf, and with Xander being possessed by so many things some of it was bound to remain.
"Umm.. Giles," Buffy said looking at her watcher seem to zone out.
Giles started, "oh of course, just got caught up in the moment not to worry," the man answered slightly flustered as he began to take a closer look around.
It took him a moment to separate the energies in the library before noticing the dark aura under them that was the hellmouth/portal and as he did so he began to notice a two trails from the area one fainter then the other this must be where the wizards came out of the portal.
"I have the energy signature," Giles said at last, "do we have everything ready for the summons?"
"Yeppers," Willow answered excitedly, "this is so exciting. I've never done a summons before probably because most things summoned are all demony and that would be of the bad and I would never do something like that except if it was really needed but I don't know when it would be needed because why would you ever need to summon a demon, but Giles did when he was younger but that was pretty bad especially when it…" she was interrupted when Oz put his hand over his girlfriend's mouth.
"Opps," Willow said looking sheepishly at all the amused faces surrounding her, "Yes, everything is ready Giles."
"Very well," Giles answered still looking at Willow bemusedly no matter how many times he heard the Willow babble as it was called he never got used to it.
"Everyone take your place," Giles said to the room, "Willow get ready to chant while I focus on the essence."
Once everyone was ready and the crystals were in place Willow began. At first nothing happened but slowly a glow began to form in the center of the pentagram.
When the light cleared the wizards' jaws were dropped.
"YOU!" Harry exclaimed before Draco grabbed hold around his waist to keep him from breaking the circle.
