Last chapter
Draco started to reply when a blinding blue light filled the Great Hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scotland
9:00a.m.

“Noooooooooooooooo.”
The scream broke through the great hall as the light faded. Everyone looked over at the two figures near the front of the hall. Snape was already out of his seat his wand pointed at the blonde man who had screamed. Next to the blonde was a teenage boy with medium brown hair and curious eyes. He drops to the side of the blond who had collapsed in his distress.
“Spike? Spike, what’s going on? Are you ok? Where are we?” the boy shook the man, whose name was apparently Spike.
“Hogwarts.” The headmaster said calmly.
Spike looked up at them; quickly standing he pushed the boy behind him and addressed the robed figures. “Who are you? Where are we, and how do I get back to LA?”
The headmaster looked at the man with his ever twinkling eyes, “this is a conversation better held in my office. Shall we?”
“No I want some bloody answers. Tell me where I am, who the bloody hell you are and how I can get back to fucking LA!! NOW!”
“Spike, calm down, yelling won’t help.”
“The boy is right let’s calm down and be rational about this now I do believe this conversation should be held in private but if you will not accompany me to my office we must find another way. I am assuming you will not willingly follow me to my office?” Spike just glared. “Well then, Students return to your dorms until further notice.” Prefects ushered the students out. Spike watched only at that moment noticing the students littering the hall.
Once they had all left Dumbledore brought the attention of the remaining men and women back to him. “Perhaps we could start with introductions? I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and these are my associates Minerva McGonagall Severus Snape, they are professors here. You are?”
“Spike.” Dumbledore looked at him obviously expecting more. “….and this is Connor.” Spike acted as if revealing the information was hard for him.
“Ahh, pleasure to meet you. Now, how did you get here?”
“We don’t know.” Connor said quietly.
“You may not but he does,” Spike looked back at the headmaster and noticed that he was pointing at him.
“A wish,” Spike mumbled, “He made a wish.”
Connor looked at Spike confusion written on his face, “Who?”
“Your father.”
“Angel?”
“Yes, he knew that the Partners wouldn’t let us get away with it so…he made a deal with a wish demon.”

"I love you, my William and I wish for you to be somewhere safe where you can be happy and find love."

“A Demon?” Minerva exclaimed, “Oh Dear!”
“That explains how they made it past the wards,” Snape said, “The founders never accounted for demons when they set them up.”
“Stupid twats,” no one but Snape appreciated the dry humor in Spike’s voice.
“Now that that is cleared up on to your questions. You are at Hogwarts which is a wizarding school in Europe. As for how to get you back to….LA was it?” at the nod from spike Dumbledore continued, “I assume an international portkey could be set up in a few weeks.”
“WEEKS!!!! NO!!! Sorry Bumblelore or what ever your name is, I need to get back now my Sire could be dying. He needs my help and he needs it, NOW.”
“I am sorry but procedure requires us to….Sorry but…did you say sire?”
“What of it? That is hardly important right now. What is important is tha-”
“You’re a vampire.” Snape interrupted him in a flat tone.
“And again I say what of it? I need to get back to-”
“A dark creature inside of Hogwarts, oh Albus the children…”this time it was Minerva who interrupted Spike’s rant.
“Oh for God’s sake, I am not going to hurt anyone. Except maybe you if you don’t-”
“Minerva I am sure Hogwarts would not allow him to enter if he were truly evil.” Dumbledore soothed.
“Exactly, I may be bad bu-”
“How can you be sure Albus?”
“Oh Bloody Hell! Can’t I finish a fucking senten-”
“The wards would not allow him to enter unless he had a soul.”
“A Soul!!” the other two wizards replied.
“Yes, it is quite interesting I was sure that there was only one vam-”
“SHUT UP!!! My God can we focus for one minute. I need to get back to LA now.”
Snape cleared his throat before replying “All international portkeys must be approved through the Ministry of Magic. It usually takes up to a week to get the papers filed and your request for one has to be presented before a committee before any clearance can be given.”
“There has to be another way to get back, a quicker way.” Spike sounded as if he were pleading. Spike seemed to brighten for a moment. “I wish I was back with my Sire.” He waited a moment but nothing happened. “I wish I was in LA.” Still nothing happened. “You did it for him, why not me? Please take me back. Please. Damn you, just fucking take me back!”
*No. Do not ask for that which I cannot do* the words, spoken in a soft whisper, made everyone in the room shiver except for Spike. The Demon appeared before them dressed in a robe that covered all but its old wrinkled yellow face.
“Why can’t you?”
*It is not my purpose. They do not wish it.*
“Who doesn’t?”
*Fate*
“Fate?” Spike’s voice was full of confusion.
*Angel is dead. You belong here. I have fulfilled my part of the bargain. Now it is up to you to make the rest of his wish come true*

"I wish for you to be somewhere safe the demon fulfilled that which means where you can be happy and find love."

*Yes*
“What if I can’t?” Spike asked frustrated, anger towards his sire building within him. ‘How could he expect me to find love here of all places?’
*You can. You will. Bother me no more vampire. I grow tired of your tedious questions* with that the demon waved its arm over its body and disappeared.
“It’s gone.” Connor said.
Spike stood staring at nothing, the demons revelations making him feel tired and uneasy.
Snape, observing Spike’s change in attitude stopped Dumbledore from saying whatever bit of wisdom he was about to make known. “Headmaster, our guests are no doubt tired perhaps we should allow them to rest before continuing this…discussion” the word discussion was said in much the same way Snape said Potter with disgust heavily lacing the word.
The Headmaster turned twinkling eyes toward Snape before looking at the ‘guests’ again. “Quite right Severus. Escort them to your rooms.”
“My rooms, Sir?”
“Absolutely. We can’t very well leave them unattended during their stay.”
“Sir I must protest.” Snape began.
“I am sorry Severus but I must insist upon this. I will have your rooms enlarged. They should be suitable by the time you arrive.” Dumbledore’s tone left no room for discussion.
“Yes, headmaster.” Then to the other two men in the room, “Follow me.”
Spike sauntered out of the room after Snape his mind still on other matters as Connor walked beside him.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It is so far the longest chapter I have ever written. Reviews make me happy and when I am happy I write. I should get the next chapter up within the week
