Blaise and Pansy walked out of the common room following Professor Dumbledore. Mandy then started to write the letter to her brother.

Wesley,

Hello brother. You have to know that if I’m writing you now, things are dire here. The dark lord has attacked a student. His name is Draco Malfoy, the son of the deatheater Lucious Malfoy. The only guess is that he didn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps.

We need your help now. Professor Dumbledore would like to speak about something. He didn’t tell me. If you agree with a meeting just write that you agree on this sheet of parchment. It’s enchanted so that your responds will show up on another piece of parchment here.

You have to know that I wouldn’t have contacted you if I had another choice.

Yours truly,

Mandy

When Mandy was done writing, she tied the parchment to Marcus, Blaise’s falcon and let the falcon out the window. “Marcus, take this letter to Wesley Wyndam-Price in the Hyperion Hotel in Los Angeles, California, United States.”

After the falcon took off she joined the rest of them in Professor Dumbledore’s office.

~~***~~

Cordelia was working on the computer with billing for some of their clients. Angel wasn’t really good about keeping up with clients so job had to do it. It was a wonder that Angel had been able to make a living before she came along. Cordy looked up at the clock and cringed at the time. It was going on 11:00pm and normally she would have finished up by now and gone home, but they had so much business now that she had to work overtime. At least the paychecks showed how much overtime she was putting in.

The door opened and in walked Buffy. Buffy and her crew from Sunnydale came to LA looking for sanctuary after averting the apocalypse there. They had lost a lot of slayers along with Anya and Spike. Cordy didn’t really know much about Anya but had heard from Dawn that she and Xander were dating before all of this. Spike was another story.

They had come to the Hyperion to lick their wounds before they decided what to do with the rest of their lives. Faith, Robin and the other slayers after about a week or two moved on to the new Hellmouth under Cleveland, so this left Buffy, Dawn, Xander, Willow, and Giles.

It really didn’t surprise Cordy to find out that Dawn and Conner had started seeing each other. Both of them had unique backgrounds and they worked well together. It was good for Dawn because she sometimes had a hard time dealing with the fact that her friend and confidant Spike was gone. Cordy really didn’t understand why they were so close until Dawn had explained that during that summer that Buffy was dead, Spike had taken care of her and made sure that she ate and did her homework to keep her out of trouble in school. Cordy had never expected Spike to do something like that, but was willing to take that on face value. She too had changed some since coming to LA herself. It sort of make sense then when Conner who himself was the son of two vampires to get together with Dawn.

Buffy walked up to the desk where Cordy was working. “Do you know where Giles is? I have something to research.” Then she laid the box on the desk.

“Giles is in his room. What is this?” Cordy said as she pulled the journal out. She tried and couldn’t get it open. Putting it down, Cordy picked up the stick and document.

“Halfrek, a vengeance demon came to Caritas and gave this to me. She said something really strange to me. She said, ‘Don’t make the same mistakes I made.’ I have no idea what she means but that demon is half cracked anyway. She avenges children mostly, and a couple of years ago Dawn made a wish on my birthday. I ended up with a house full of people and no way they could leave. That was a mess. Now that I think about it there was something strange.”

“What was that?”

“Just as she was about to leave, she looked right at Spike and said, ‘William.’ He then asked if he knew her. She changed the subject really quick and left. I thought I would give this to Giles to chew on.”

Just then the door opened and Xander came through on his way to his room, but before the door could close a falcon swooped in and landed on Cordy’s desk.

“Ahh!! What the hell? How do we get it out of here?” Cordy yelled.

Wesley came out of his office when he heard Cordelia shriek. “What’s going on now?” He then noticed the falcon. “Cordelia, the bird has something tied to its leg.” Just then the falcon few into his office and landed on his desk. “Okay, that answers one question.”

Wesley walked over to his desk and took the letter from the falcon’s leg and then the falcon took off again. Wesley looked out in to the lobby and said, “Could someone open the door. I think the falcon’s leaving.”

Cordy hurriedly opened the door and sure enough the falcon flew right out the door and into sky.

Buffy just stood there, “Just when you think you’ve seen everything; so what’s up Wes?”

Wes unrolled the letter and read it. Looked up with a pale face and said, “Buffy, get Giles and Angel, we need to have a meeting.”

Buffy could tell by the way he was looking; Wes met business and went upstairs looking for everyone.

Cordelia looked at Wes’s pale face. “What’s going on and what did it have to do with that falcon?”

Wes read the letter again and looked at Cordelia. “This letter comes from my sister and something is going on at her school.”

Suddenly Angel, Giles and Buffy were standing there. “What’s going on Wesley,” Giles asked.

Wesley cleared his throat, “The dark lord has attacked a student in my sister Amanda’s house of Slytherin. They are looking to us for help.”

Giles paled but Buffy and Angel were confused, “What is a slytherin and what school?” Buffy asked.

Giles took off his clean glasses and cleaned them again. “It’s the school that Wesley and I attended before we went to the Watchers Academy. It’s called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”

Buffy looked up with a shock. “Did you say Hogwarts?”

Giles nodded, “Yes. Slytherin is one of four houses in the school. It’s where the students live while in school. They live with housemates and they become a pseudo family. Wesley and I were in the house called Ravenclaw. There are two other houses, Hufflepuff and Gryfindor.”

Buffy raced from Wesley’s office and reached for the document from Cordy’s desk. “This came from this Hogwarties. What is this?”

Wes took the parchment and showed it to Giles, “Buffy were exactly where did you get this?”

Buffy looked at then not knowing there this was leading, “Halfrek, the vengeance demon from my birthday party two years ago came to Caritas and gave a box. In the box was this, a journal that I can’t open and a stick. She also said something strange. Don’t make the same mistakes I did. He doesn’t deserve that. Do you guys have any idea what this means?”

Cordy brought in the box and showed them to Giles and Wes. Wes cleared his throat and said hold up the stick. “First off, this isn’t a stick, it’s called a wand. It’s what we wizards use to focus our magic. Unlike Willow, we are born with our magic. It’s in our blood; the wand is just a focal point for it. We go to Hogwarts to learn how to use it. This document is a diploma from Hogwarts for a student that graduated in 1867by the name of William Malfoy. Why would she give it to you?”

Just then Wes picked up the letter again and realized something, “Amanda’s letter also mentions the student that got hurt. His name is Draco Malfoy. This could be related to him in some way. I’m not sure though. But that still wouldn’t explain what they have to do with each other. The only way is to have the meeting with the Headmaster like Amanda said that they want to have.”

Angel, who had been quiet up to this point. The name William Draconis Malfoy sounded familiar but he wasn’t sure. “Okay let’s meet, how do we respond to them?”

Wes smiled, “Oh you two are going to like this.” He took out a pen and wrote on the parchment, ‘Okay, we agree to meet with you Headmaster.’

All of a sudden there was a loud popping sound in the lobby. When everyone walked out in to the lobby, there stood two men, one very old with a long white beard and the other with long black oily looking hair.

“Mr. Windam-Price and Mr. Giles it’s wonderful to see both of you again. However, I just wish this was under better circumstances," said Dumbledore.

edit --> fixed date... I'm not sure if it was a typo or typing while tired or having a dog wanting attention when this happened. Don't do math when you have dirarrah of the fingers. Dates don't add up. :P
