1: A Mini Reunion

Chappie 1: Introductions & a lil reunion

As Angel sat in the Great Hall an almost forgotten feeling came to him. 'No it can't be, can it?' He was in conversation with the always decked in black Severus Snape when he got it and then he got his infamous Buffy face. Snape noticed suddenly the look come over him and then a dark feeling in himself "Albus I believe something bad is approaching". Dumbledore was next to them and the well-aged professor knew that the four new teachers were about to enter so he just got that very weird twinkle in his eye that nobody ever really knew what was about, ever. Then Buffy, Anya, Xander, & Willow entered the massive hall confusing everyone except Albus.

Buffy's POV

Anya & Xander had just made a truce by the time we got into the school, which sooo thankful for because I was on the verge of kicking both of their asses if they didn't shut up! I had many thoughts as we all made our way to the Great Hall place the Dumble-dude wanted us to go to, which he had so nicely given us a map and we wouldn't need the nut-ball lady to take us. 'I wonder if the other professors will like us OR try to kill us?!?! Or what if the kids on the first day don't see my authority because of how young and short I am?’

Also I had just finally convinced myself that my spider sense was going off because of all the insane amount of magic there and then I see HIM here up at the table. My thoughts had actually stopped at the site of him there talking to a serious Goth looking dude, he looks more intense then when Willow went all pyscho a couple months ago!

Xander was the first to move of the four of us towards Angel, and he actually hugged him which totally don't get! This shocked me because I remember how Xander hated him back in the High School days. "Angel how is it going? So I guess your gonna be a teacher here as well. I am going to be Co-teaching magical something, what about you?" Me, Willow and Anya looked at Xander like he was demon possessed or something but he didn't notice as he was busy ass-kissing him like he was HIS own teacher or something. Then I noticed Willow & Anya had been looking at the Goth teacher near Angel. The guy seems very much into his black look, like Angel had before discovering there were marvelous clothes with color back when we still dated when I was in high school. I suddenly began realize that my breath is uneven after all this insanity. I suddenly began falling and heard someone yell my name before I fell into blackness.

Angel's POV

Buffy looks as beautiful as I remember, just like that day on the beach when we kissed but she seems very upset about something I can’t quite seem to place my finger on. Then again the two of us haven't talked since her mother's death so of everyone in this room I'm probably the least qualified to know what's bothering her. - grrr - I can hear that her breath is uneven and she is going to pass out if she continues doing that, then again if I told her such she would tell me I was over re-acting about what was going on and that she was in fact fine like she always does. Within a few seconds she does and I run over to her, pick her up before anyone else can and ask "So where do you take people when things like this happens?"

Normal P.O.V

The professors were not all that shocked that Buffy collapsed the way she did as Albus gave the stuff already there a heads up that Buffy and Angel were exes with an intense past and that's all. No details of what the past included but just said there might be some brawls every now and then between the tow but would very well together. Dumbledore knew what he was doing though when he paired the two champions together for Defense against the Dark Arts. They were very much needed to protecting Hogwarts along with Anya, Willow, & Xander. Yes, indeed Voldemort was back in power but the five new professors could help greatly by stopping him overcome the school.

They were all (The Scoobies, Dumbledore & some others) now in the Hospital Wing while the nurse got some potion for Buffy for her head just in case. "Xander to answer your question I will be CO-teaching Defense against the Dark Arts.” Angel finally answered after the long silence whilst waiting.

Willow & Anya just look at each other and burst out laughing at the humor in the situation. Xander forgot that that was the class Buffy would be doing as well. "WHAT IN RANDY'S NAME IS SOOO FUNNY?" he yells after a minute of them laughing and not cluing him in on what the deal was.

"It's just... That's what ...Buffy...teaching" was all the pair could get out but Xander & Angel got the message and the souled vampire reacted very much like a toddler when he doesn't get what he wants. "What in hell did I do to deserve this? Did I piss the PTB off again some how? I mean wasn't it enough that Cordelia loves my SON, then I see them having sex during a reign of fire!” He yelled rather out of character, but then again they had not seen him for a few years so for all they knew it could be how he was now.

After the outburst they just stared at him, even Buffy who had finally come around. "If you don't want to be here now then fine, leave. But if I recall correctly that's what you do best, no? I know that you're going through pain because I've been told EVERYTHING; you'd be surprised what vampires will tell you when there lives are on the line really. So as I was once told 'spank your inner moppet & embrace the pain'. Everyone has to deal with shit like that every now & then so just shut up about it!" Buffy yells at him while Anya just looked on at her as if she half expects her to make a wish to inflect something upon him any moment. Angel took one last look around the room before retreating to his room. Xander follows him within seconds not looking back at the girls.

"Buffy, need we remind you that we have to get along with the other professors or at least act like we do?" Willow questions her jokingly to calm her down. Then Madam Pomfrey gave Buffy a potion and she was out like a lamp again.

In the Meantime

Xander had just finished apologizing for Buffy and started filling in Angel on the past year for him while he sits in front of him in the library.

"It ends up we pulled Buffy out of heaven for which we don't really know if she has forgiven for yet and was -quite- upset for the first couple months. Willow & Tara broke-up because Will was becoming too addicted to dark magic. Amy's no longer a rat and went on a magic spree with Willow which wound up getting Dawn a broken arm, oh you know that crazy witch who wanted Buffy to be a mouse while you were Angelus! Buffy & Spike had secretly been boinking each other for months after she came back from heaven –which was SO awkward finding out! I made the mistake of leaving Anya at the altar (hence the demon face in the Great Hall). Willow & Tara finally hooked back up after months apart, and then a guy shot Tara & Buffy named Warren who was the quote un quote bad guy of that time, so Tara's now resides in the Sunnydale cemetery. Willow went over the deep end & tried to end the world, like more psycho-y then you did, sorry for the continued reference Angel. Dawn had to move in with her dad because Buffy loss custody as all the lack of cash and history of her going to hospital or whatever, Spike left town and nobody has heard nor seen him since".

Angel was gaping at the brunette man by the time he was done and it started to sink in. The first thing that did however was the fact that his young vampire he had raised practically touched Buffy in that way. The way that he had once long ago oh so preciously. True they had broken up many years ago but she had HIS mark upon her still, which reminded him he needed to beat up Riley badly whenever he got drunk next time and track down Dracula still.

Yea this so far was turning out to be a very interesting time in good ole, tea-drinking England.

Dream -a few days after the arrival

Buffy was walking around the Gryffindor Common Room when she saw a young teenage boy who seemed about 16 with black hair and bright green eyes. He had black wire-frame glasses and was extremely lean for his height. His eyes showed that he had been through more then it seemed "Um, hi, I'm Buffy Summers, and you are?”

The boy did not answer because his attention looked very distracted and had a terrified look upon his face. She too then looked behind her and saw two faces that she thought she would not see for a very long time: Spike and Drusilla! They were standing there along with some severely pale dude with vivid-red eyes in dark robes "Ah the slayer has finally joined our little get together now. I am Lord Voldemort. Now you need to no longer worry. -"

"Actually it seems I do need to worry because you guys don't look like y'all just came here for a grand ole tea party". Buffy made her way to protect the boy and at that moment she did, her hand touched his narrow scar while trying to push him behind her. She then woke up breathing very hard wondering what the heck the dream was about and how real it really was.

Meanwhile all the way in the Burrow, the Weasley's home Harry Potter awoke and noticed his scar was glowing in a odd lime glow he had never seen it do before.
