A knock on the door of the office had Mayor Chase standing and walking over to it. He opened it to reveal a woman about his and Rupert Giles age.
"Dr. Giles, allow me to introduce you to Molly Cooper. Molly this is Rupert Giles." Molly held her hand out and Giles took it to shake it, a flash of light caught him off guard.
"What was that?!" He exclaimed.
"Molly working a non Aparecium spell. Are you familiar with them? A non Aparecium spell makes it so you can't reveal secrets. I find it extremely curious that your organization, which clearly knows about Magic, you did admit that you use Magic to locate the new girl Chosen to be the Slayer and you did use Magic to thwart Catherine Madison yesterday, has absolutely no protections on yourself or the Slayer. Your organization does have secrets, doesn't it? Or are you truly not privy to those secrets? You're here, with the Slayer, fighting or rather sort of helping her and yet you're leaving yourself vulnerable to mental intrusions. Alex would never have been able to use that medallion Molly made if you did have protections on you. Very careless that you don't. One more example anyway. As for the spell, you can't communicate in way, shape or form regarding Sunnydale's secrets. It's hidden groups most especially. And when I say communicate that includes, but isn't limited to, spoken, in any language, including demonic ones, written, same caveat, sign language and no one can read the information in your mind concerning it either. I will not allow my family, my pack, my people or the people of Sunnydale to be harmed by your carelessness."
"You put a spell on me, without my permission and against my will. You violated my mind." Giles said flatly.
"And you'll never be able to inform anyone of that fact, but I would never have been able to do it if you'd had any protections against Magic on yourself. I find it incredible that anyone who knows it exists hasn't bothered to protect themselves against it. Or maybe you're another sacrifice, a willing one, perhaps. To your beliefs, if nothing else."
"What happens now?" Giles asked, glaring at the man, the Wolfblood, who had so neatly trapped him.
"Molly's arrival here means she's finished going through the High School Library. All books on real Magic and demons have been confiscated. None of them belong in a High School Library around vulnerable children. Are you familiar with the expression, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? You're going to continue to work at the Library, I certainly don't want your organization sending another one of you to Sunnydale. You will continue to provide training and informational support to Buffy Summers. After speaking to her earlier I found that much as she doesn't want to be a Slayer, something compels her to do it, possibly part of the Magic you use to create her. And because there are vampires in Sunnydale, she will be allowed to hunt them, for her sake, not yours and your organization. And you are right about one thing, the Library is convenient, so I'll arrange for the books to be kept locked, magically and conventionally, in an unused classroom, which you can use for your research. Any questions?"
"No, you've made yourself very clear." Giles ground out, silently fuming but having no idea how to get out of this.
"Excellent, you can go now. Thank you for your time."
Rupert Giles walked stiffly to the door of the office and returned to his condo.
Charles Chase turned to Molly Copper. "What do you think? Was I a little too dramatic?" He asked his old friend.
"Oh, gods, yes, but it's probably what's called for. He could easily have set his organization on you and us for that matter. After all, Wolfbloods and Magic users aren't the only hidden groups in Sunnydale. I'll go put those magical locks on that classroom. See you later, Charles."
"You too, Molly and thanks." He held the door for her as she left and then returned to his desk. The conversation with Buffy earlier had included the fact that some unknown informant had told her about a trapped vampire who intended to escape and that the attack on the Bronze last week had been about that vampire using a ritual called the Harvest. The vampires had intended to kill the kids at the club, the club his daughter and her pack frequented and use their lives to make him strong enough to do that. Going underground in the labyrinth of tunnels Wilkins had built for the vampires to get around safely was suicide. That meant they'd have to be alert for another attempt. Damn cockroaches were making it very difficult to make Sunnydale a true haven.
A/N Aparecium is a spell from the Harry Potter wiki used to reveal secrets, putting non in front of it changes that to not revealing secrets.
Maybe I'm hammering a little hard on Giles' carelessness, but honestly far too many instances involved him being careless. It's one thing for a teenager, who doesn't have any training or real knowledge about Magic and the supernatural to make a mistake, it's something else entirely for an adult specifically trained in the supernatural and knowledge of Magic to be careless so many times. Once, maybe twice might be excusable. And then there's kids like Tucker Wells (raised Hellhounds), his brother Andrew, there's a reference on the show about him summoning flying monkeys while he was a student at Sunnydale High and then him and Johnathan both learning to summon demons. Giles personally knew how dangerous that was (Eyghon) and while there's no canonical evidence that these kids found that information in the Library, the chances are pretty good that they did and Tara seems to be the only responsible Magic user on the show and consequently the only one not corrupted by the use of it. And it could all have been avoided if Giles at least, had shown some responsibility. And please don't start sending me PMs detailing how irresponsible you think Xander was because it's still less numerically and less severe than the rest.
