Thanks to Edi for the beta.

AN: Obviously this is AU. Which means that everything you know about the end
of Buffy and the last few seasons of Angel are null and void in this fic. So
if you're into canon, you don't want to read anything here. Also this takes
place after Harry and the others have graduated from Hogwarts, but due to
the war and Voldermort Harry and the others live on the grounds of Hogwarts.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. No Spoilers for OotP.





Chapter 7





Los Angeles...





Doyle, Gunn and Angel were all silently praying for Wes to
reappear. Cordy was really getting pissed and none of them wanted to be
there when she finally blew. The young woman was someone no one wanted to
piss off on a good day, but watching Wes disappear in plain sight had really
enraged her. She was certain that Wolfram and Hart had something to do
with it.

Just as she was getting ready to demand that Angel go storm the law offices
and demand the return of their friend, Wes reappeared. He wasn't alone,
however. Angel was shocked to see that all of the Sunnydale contingent plus
a great number of teenage girls were with them. Then more people arrived and
Angel recognized Spike and several powerful wizards and a young witch.

"What the hell is going on and where the fuck did you go?" Cordy
snarled as she invaded the Englishman's personal space. Angel saw
the amused looks on the Sunnydale contingent's faces.

Then he focused on what was bothering him the most. The four core Scoobies
all felt different. Giles seemed stronger and reminded him of the night that
the adults of Sunnydale were all affected by the magicked candy. Then there
was Buffy. She didn't feel the same as she had the last time he saw her. In
fact she felt very different. Willow was unconscious and he could smell
illness all around her.


However it was Xander that drew his attention the most. The boy had always
caused so many mixed emotions in Angel. He was the only one to draw his
attention totally away from Buffy. The two were equally loved and equally
claimed by his soul and his demon.


Angel had never told anyone that Darla had played with his curse.
When he had refused to return to her, she had haspelspell cast that
would cause him to go insane if the curse were ever removed.


It would make him seek to kill and destroy those who were meant to complete
his life. He had done just that. He had tried to humiliate and then kill
Buffy, Spike and Xander. Angel knew that Xander would never befriend him. He
bore the face of the demon that had fractured his innocence completely. Not
that Xander had ever told anyone.


His attention was drawn away from the b oy when Spike began to growl at him
subvocally. Angel looked at his Childe and raised an
eyebrow. "He's mine," Spike snarled. The others looked at the
two vampires and Remus reached over and pulled his son away from the angry
blond.


Buffy glared at Angel when he snarled at Spike. "Don't even think
about it, Angel," she snapped, shocking everyone.


"What? Since when do you stand up for the bleached wonder?" Cordy asked with
a sneer.


Buffy turned cold eyes on her and Cordelia actually felt
intimidated. "Anyone who tries to hurt Spike or Xander will bleed.
That I promise you. They have been soul joined and Spike has a soul now. Not
to mention the fact that we owe our lives to him. He was
helping us even without a soul," Buffy told her coldly.


Xander beamed at Buffy, and Spike was shocked and heartened by her defence
of him. Giles and Dawn stepped forward to stand by their side. "If you harm
Spike we'll all be after you," Dawn added.

Chapter 8









Los Angeles...









Angel tried to figure out just what it was he was feeling. With a
shock he realized it was pride. He was proud of the fact that his
Childe had gotten on the good side of h is once mortal enemies. Then
Buffy's words sank in completely and he realized that Spike had a
soul. He gaped at his boy and said the first thing that came to
mind, "Tell me who cursed you so I can kill them," not
realizing that he had shifted into game face.


Spike started with surprise and those around Angel took a sudden step
backwards. Buffy sighed and stepped forward. Carefully she reached
up and stroked Angel's face. That in itself was a shock to Angel.
It had always been one part of him that she had never accepted. Slowly
he shifted back into his human guise.


"I got my soul myself. I wasn't cursed," Spike told him
softly.


"Why?" Angel asked, confused.


"We were under a spell. Spike thought he loved me and to prove
it he went and got a soul. By the time he returned the spell had been
broken and we became friends," Buffy explained.


"What about this soul joining you were talkin' about?" Doyle asked.


"You might as well sit down and get comfortable. This is going
to take a while," Wes said.



Thirty minutes later...




The room was so quiet you could hear the tension. Xander broke it by
rolling his eyes and nudging Harry. "You think the news fried their brains?"


Harry snickered and looked around at the group of shocked and
appalled people. Spike was the first to laugh and in minutes it
trickled through the room. Angel wrapped an arm around Buffy's
shoulder and she looked up at him with a slight smile. "So
we're going to Europe?" Angel asked, amused. Leave it to Xander to
ease the tension.


"Yes, if you agree to go, we can send someone here to take care
of your business and we will offer positions at Hogwarts. We could use
the assistance and our students need the training," Albus told them kindly.


"I'm all for it," Cordy said, looking round at her friends.
The others nodded in agreement. Then to their surprise she hit Wes on
the arm.


"Bloody hell, Cordelia! What was that for?" Wes growled, surprised.


"For making me think the lawyers from hell took you," she answered
calmly as she stood.


She took a deep breath, then began to snap out orders. Within
minutes the Fang Gang was scrambling out the door and to their homes
to pack for the trip. The biesbies had run for cover and taken their
group with them the minute they realized what was about to happen.


"Why are we hiding? We have powers, she doesn't," Harry
asked. The others nodded in agreement.


Spike snorted and Xander shook his head sadly.
"She scares vampires. Angel's over 200 years old. Trust me when I say Cordy
is only second to Buffy on the danger scale and even Buffy knows to flee
when Queen C starts barking out orders. If you ever get the chance,
get Xan drunk and ask him to tell you about what it was like to date
her," Faith said with a snicker.


The potentials were wide eyed as Xander shuddered and backed against
the wall. "Damn, Faith, did ya have to remind him of that?"
Buffy asked.


Xander's eyes were wide in his suddenly pale face and he was looking for
escape. "Surely she's not that bad?" Mione asked, appalled.


"Not anymore. She's mellowed," Anya told them, speaking
up for the first time.


Kennedy looked at her in confusion. "I thought you were Xander's
ex-girlfriend. How do you know about Cordelia?"


Anya smiled. "Cordelia is the reason I am human. She made a wish and kept me
on the Hellmouth. In the other world she was killed and Giles ended up with
my pendant and he smashed it, turning me into a human. I chose to answer her
wish because she was truly vindictive and spiteful. Even though she knew that
Xander was under a lust spell, she wanted to hurt him. Their whole dating
experience was a nightmare. They were all heat and no heart," Anya answered
truthfully.
