Toniboo: yes this will most likely be Buffy/Draco.

Macala Armstrong: thanks and I have a C2 called Buffy the vampire slayer meets Hogwarts (for Buffy/Draco and Buffy/Spike)

Crossover Addict: Thanks for reviewing but sorry Dragons are illegal at Hogwarts.

RainyDaySunlight: thank you for that long review and Buffy will find out who her father is within the next few chapters. About the whole Angel Spike thing, Angel left for L.A. and Spike stayed in Sunnydale and got chipped. Xander is dating a girl named Anya because Cordelia went with Angel. Willow is still dating Oz. Buffy didn't react to blood of Angel and Spike because she was too busy staring at the image of the master. Ginny should show up in the next chapter or the one after that.

Cassie: thanks for reviewing

Decaffeinated024: As I told Toniboo, this is going to be Buffy/Draco

Buffy4Ever: you'll see soon

Jenna Summers, PyroDeScorpio2, Goddess-Hitomi, and BuffyandDracoLover: thanks for reviewing and yes I have finally updated! Yay!

Author: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Title: Hogwarts

Chapter: Defense Against the Dark Arts

----

As every one filed out of the class, Professor Snape called Buffy back.

"How is your studying going, Miss. Summers?" he asked.

"It's good. Draco really helped out last night."

"Good. I suggest that you also study during free periods. You should be going now. Your next class will start soon."

"Okay. Thanks Professor. Um Professor? How come no one in slytherin likes anyone in Gryffindor? Or actually, what is with that Harry Potter kid?"

Professor Snape sighed and told her the story of the boy-who-lived only he left out Harry's opponent's name. She thanked him and with that she left and headed for her next class which was Divination.

----

Buffy noticed that it was a very strange class (even for Sunnydale).

The Professor kept going on about predictions and visions while walking around the class.

Wonder if she's related to Drusilla.

As she was walking around the class, she stopped at Buffy and Pansy's table and gasped. The students' attention was drawn to her and Buffy felt like the center of attention … again.

"My child, oh you have a dark future before you as well as a dark past. You are trying to learn about your family yes?" Buffy nodded and the Professor continued. "Some things are better left untold." she gasped again, clutching her hand to her chest and blinking rapidly. "Death surrounds you every night. It surrounds your past and will surround your future. Death will consume you … and soon!"

The class was silent and shocked while waiting for a reaction from the new Slytherin girl.

Buffy was scared. Did she know something about me being the slayer?

"In some language that is English?" She asked smartly. The other students relaxed a little when they realized that

Buffy didn't believe her … all except one student that is.

"You are going to die." a calm voice said carefully behind her. She turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Harry Potter.

"Yeah well, it's a little late for that." she mumbled. No one heard her except for the boy with a scar on his forehead.

Professor Trelawney then went into some thing about Dream Oracles.

"You will find on the tables before you copies of The Dream Oracle, by Inigo Imago. Dream interpretation is a most important means of divining the future and one that may very probably be tested in your O.W.L. Not, of course, that I believe examination passes or failures are of the remotest importance when it comes to the sacred art of divination. If you have the Seeing Eye, certificates and grades matter very little. However, the Headmaster likes you to sit the examination, so …"

As the class ended, Professor Trelawney told them to keep a dream diary for a month as homework.

----

Buffy entered the classroom with Draco, Pansy, and Blaise Zambini with Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle trailing behind.

Buffy found a table and sat down. Draco sat next to her leaving Pansy glaring at her. Pansy sat next to Blaise (across from Draco) and Crabbe and Goyle sat behind them. Then in came Harry, Ron, and Hermione. They sat … wherever it is that the Gryffindors sit.

(A/N: I just love this scene and I am going to 'Borrow' it and add some things in there)

"Good afternoon!" the Professor said when everyone sat down.

"Good afternoon." some people mumbled in reply.

"Tut, tut," said Professor Umbridge. "That won't do, now, will it? I would like you, please, to reply 'Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge.'" Buffy raised an eyebrow. "One more time, please. Good afternoon, class!"

"Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge," they chanted back at her.

"There now," she said sweetly. "That wasn't too difficult, was it? Wands away and quills out please."

Seriously, haven't they heard of pens? Buffy thought.

Words magically appeared on the board: Defense Against the Dark Arts and under it: A Return to Basic Principles

Umbridge started talking again but Buffy tuned her out until words appeared on the board again: Course aims:

1. Understanding the principles underlying defensive magic.

2. Learning to recognize situations in which defensive magic can be legally used.

3. Placing the use of defensive magic in a context for practical use.

"Has everyone got a copy of Defensive Magical Theory by Wilbert Slinkhard?"

Buffy didn't have that book with her so Draco shared his with her. This didn't go unnoticed by Pansy.

Buffy noticed Draco look up and followed his line of vision. It landed on Hermione who had her hand in the air. Several others had noticed too. When more than half the class were staring at Hermione rather than at their books, Professor Umbridge seemed to decide that she could not ignore her anymore.

"Did you want to ask something about the chapter, dear?"

"Not about the chapter, no." Hermione said.

"Well we're reading just now. If you have other questions we can deal with them at the end of class."

"I've got a question about your course aims." Hermione said.

Professor Umbridge raised her eyebrows. "And your name is - ?"

"Hermione Granger."

"Well, Miss Granger, I think the course aims are perfectly clear if you read them through carefully."

"Well, I don't." Hermione said bluntly. "There's nothing written up there about using defensive spells."

There was a short silence in which many members of the class turned their heads to frown at the course aims still written on the board.

"Using defensive spells?" she replied with a little laugh. "Why, I can't imagine any situation arising in my classroom that would require you to use a defensive spell, Miss Granger. You surely aren't expecting to be attacked during class?"

"We're not going to use magic?" Ron said loudly.

"Students raise their hands when they wish to speak in my class, Mr. - ?"

"Weasley," said Ron thrusting his hand in the air. The Professor ignored him.

And Buffy tuned out again. Until Harry yelled: and what good's theory going to be in the real world?

Professor Umbridge looked up. "This is school, Mr. Potter, not the real world," she said softly.

"So we're not supposed to be prepared for what's waiting out there?"

"There is nothing waiting out there, Mr. Potter."

"Oh yeah?" Harry said. His temper rising.

"Who do you imagine wants to attack children like yourselves?"

"Hmm, let's think …" Harry said in a mock thoughtful voice, "maybe Lord Voldemort?"

The students had various reactions to Harry's outburst. Professor Umbridge just said "Ten points from Gryffindor, Mr. Potter."

Buffy seemed to have the worst timing, for she tapped Draco's shoulder and asked him right as the class became silent,

"Who's Lord Moldywart?"

The class stared at her, shocked that she would dare butcher his name. Harry and secretly Draco found it somewhat amusing.

"I'll tell you later." Draco said.

"Now, let me make a few things clear." Professor Umbridge said effectively snapping everyone out there trance. "You have been told that a certain Dark wizard has returned from the dead - "

"He wasn't dead," Harry interrupted angrily, "But yeah, he's returned!"

"Mr. Potter, you have already lost your House ten points. Do not make matters worse for yourself." she said. "As I was saying, you have been informed that a certain Dark wizard is at large once again. This is a lie.

"It is NOT a lie!" Harry said. "I saw him, I fought him!"

"Detention, Mr. Potter!"

Harry stood up as Umbridge sat down.

"Harry, no!" Hermione whispered in a warning voice. Harry ignored her.

"So according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord, did he?" Harry asked, his voice shaking.

"Cedric Diggory's death was a tragic accident." she said coldly.

"It was murder." Harry said. "I saw him. He killed Cedric!" he yelled.

Buffy chose then to speak.

"Not to sound insensitive, but, have you died Harry?"

The class looked at Buffy with frowns and raised eyebrows.

"No…" Harry said slowly.

"Then quit complaining and get over it." the class was shocked with their jaws dropped. "Yeah, I know, that's like super harsh. But, it's not easy being a hero, Harry. Being the one everyone looks to, knowing that everyone expects you to fight the good fight, knowing that you could possibly die while fighting it. You can't save everyone, Harry. Sooner or later you're gonna learn that. You'll also learn that being a hero puts certain responsibilities on your shoulders. Responsibilities besides saving people. There are always casualties in war. The number one rule about being a hero is: Don't Die. Live to Fight Another Day."

The class was impressed with the new girl. Just then the bell rang signaling lunch.

As the Slytherins made their way to the Great Hall, Draco pulled Buffy into an empty classroom that was brightly lit by the sun streaming in through the window they were next to. Buffy saw his hair shining in the light and wondered if it was as soft as it looked. His eyes that were once silver were now Ice blue.

"That was pretty impressive back there, Summers." He said looking into her sparkling green eyes. His eyes traveled down the length of her body, stopping in certain places (as they're bound to do with any teenaged boy) and back up again landing on her lips. He leaned forward.

Oh my god! He is going to kiss me! As his lips touched hers he put one hand on her hip and one on her back. The kiss was soft and sweet. Now is my chance to se if his hair is as soft as I think it is. She reached up and put her arms around his neck. It was softer than she thought.

When Buffy put her arms around his neck, he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.

She gasped when he pulled her closer and he took the opportunity.

Buffy almost melted when she felt his tongue enter her mouth.

Neither noticed that someone was watching and glaring at them through the crack in the door.
