Part eight - MUGGLE DEFENCE
Buffy walked into the common room the next morning feeling great. When she spotted Hermione sitting in a corner, her nose in a book, she smiled, thinking of her lover.
"Morning."
Hermione jumped and closed her book.
"Buffy, you scared me."
Buffy shrugged and took a good look around the room, spotting things here and there that to her, loved odd.
That probably meant they were right at home.
"Where is Willow?"
Buffy grinned and nodded towards the staircase.
"She's still sleeping."
There was silence, and Buffy was about to break it, when Hermione did.
"So you and Willow... you're a couple then?"
Buffy stilled, and a hard look entered her eyes, one that had Hermione backing away.
"I didn't mean to offend, I just meant that... there are people here, once school starts again that is... that will try to make life hard for you both."
Buffy relaxed and nodded.
"If and when that happens, then believe me, they will know that it is in their best interests not to piss me off."

Once again, the occupants of the castle were in Dumbledore's office.
"Miss Summers-"
"Call me Buffy."
Dumbledore nodded to her, and continued.
"Buffy, Rupert and I were talking, and he informs me, that there is demons who have joined Voldemort."
Buffy nodded her head, a scowl on her face.
"Yeah, really messed up my patrols."
Giles hid a smile behind his tea cup, but Buffy saw it and sent him a mock scowl.
"Yes, well, be that as it may, we both agree that it would be best if the students knew how to defend themselves from a non magical attack."
Buffy stiffened, wondering where this was going.
"Rupert suggested that we introduce a new class. Muggle Defence."
Buffy froze, even as the permanent students of the school piped up in interest.
"And just who would teach this class?" Buffy didn't want him to say...
"You. If you agree, you will teach all fifth year students how to defend themselves, should the need arrive."
Buffy sighed and closed her eyes.
Willow picked up her hand and gave it a squeeze.
"What about Angel?"
Dumbledore smiled and nodded in the direction of the Vampire.
"We have already asked him. He will be your partner."
Buffy opened her eyes and met Angel's, who gave her a small nod, letting her know she wouldn't be alone.
Looking at her lover, Buffy grinned when she saw the pride on Willow's face.
"Sure, why not." She tore her gaze away from Willow and looked to the headmaster.
He smiled and stood up.
"I think that this year will be one to remember indeed."
