Of Dragons and Dark Spells...

**Brooklyn**
Half way over New York, William stopped in Brooklyn(not far from Fort Hamilton), at a friends house. Knocking on the door loudly he prayed she was still there.
“Open up Adrian!” He yelled up at the brown stone building, the ivy and jasmine crawling up the walls. “I only got an hour!!!” A light flicked on in an upstairs window, and an attractive young woman suck her head out and looked down, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. From the angle he was standing and she was poking out, he could clearly see she still slept topless, if not completely naked.
“Iz that you William?” She asked squinting down at him. “Whatcha want?” She asked leaning on the ledge.
“Ohh I dunno how about.... IN?” He shouted sarcastically. “I got about 45min before you can fit what’s let of me in a bloody SNUFF BOX!!!!!”
“Ok ok ok, Gimmie a sec to put something on.” She respond going back in. Closing the window she appeared apparating suddenly with a loud CrAcK/BanG outside the town house, bare footed and in a burgundy tanktop and low slung green plaid pants. “Hey!” She said with a smile and hugged him tightly around the neck, her wet hair leaving a damp spot on his shirt.
“Jinx-love!!!.” He said trying not to hit her in the head with his broom as he hugged her tightly,
“I’d love to catch up and everything, but can we do it IN the nice safe house?” He asked already smelling the dawn.
“Oh of course, come on in.” Adrian said holding open the door for him. And set his broom next to hers and leading him into the lg rog room.
“So how does it feel to be out of school?” He asked knowing she graduated from Phoenix High* a year early.
“Oh my god soooo worth taking those summer courses!!!” She said as she took a glass out of the cabinet and cut a small slit in her fore arm letting the blood gather, then picking up her wand and healing her cut. “Here.” She said giving him the glass he smiled and sipped it gratefully. “So what’s up? What happen?” Adrian question effortlessly, as she sat in a chair, legs folded under.
“Still a virgin...” he said grinning at her before answering her question, the eighteen year old shrugged and smiled before nodding to William to tell her what was really going on. “I’m guessing you’ve figured out that I’m not here on a social , an, and that I’m too early to be picking you up for the.. well you know.”
“Yes I do. So what’s wrong?” She just KNEW now something was wrong, \"We\'re talking more than just a kink in the chain, aren\'t we?\"
\"More like the chains broken off and lost...\" He stopped for a moment, not liking the new he had to deliver. \" I have to get Draco early.” William said with a heavy heart. “What? Why? He’s not saposed to be eighteen until the end of the month! And he\'s only half way done with the school year.” She uttered, now really worried, chewing on her lower lip.
“Yeah, Dumbledore didn’t say what was wrong, but it can’t be good...” He lied smoothly.
“Oh, must be serious if the Head Master called, do you want me to come with?” She asked ready to pack if she had too.
“No, but I was going to ask if you could do me a favor.”
“Anything for you and Draco.” Said she, without any hesitation.
“Meet us in Sunnydale, we should be there in a week but I was hopping you get there early.” He said with a grin. “I fear that the guy watching my ‘plants’ will either over water them or get attacked by one. Also I want you to have everything ready for Draco and I. You know what I mean.”
“No problem I’ll leave after you go tomorrow night.” Adrian said stretching. “Now I think we should hit the sack, ‘cause I JUST fell asleep when you woke me up and we both got a long way to fly tomorrow.”
“No shit, I’m gonna have to stop over in Canterbury, before making it to Hogwarts. Did you know it’s still in Scotland? They haven’t had to move it yet.” He said with a smile as she showed him a comfortable room with black out curtains and a privet bathroom with no window. “See you at dusk Love.” He said giving her a fatherly kiss on the temple before retiring.
“Night, Will.” She said as she shut the door to her room. ~Attacked by a plant?~ Laughing she grinned. ~William and his damn creepers and snares*...~


**one hour before night fall the next day, New York**
Adrian woke on her own the next night, worry had caused her to wake a full ten minutes before her alarm. Getting dressed she quickly tossed the few things she would need in her bag and brushed her teeth and hair. She put on her little bit of make-up and knocked on William’s door as she walked down the hall, Adrian heard him stirring as she headed down the steps, and into the
kitchen she went fixing herself and English muffin, slathering it in butter and honey. She made another cut in her arm gathering it in an extra large glass, fixing it with her wand, then went on to making several more muffins she made them into roast beef sandwiches. Adrian heard William interring the kitchen just as she had finished putting her lunch together and shrinking it to fit in her
backpack, her satchel already filled to the brim.
“I make you a glass of blood, it’s still warm.” she said as she sat down across from him at the counter. He smiled raising his glass to her, then sipping. “Your still taking your vitamins, I can tell.” He lic licking his lips. “Sigh, if I were a young man I’d snatch you up my dear.”
“Oh shut up that would be sick, I’ve known you since I was two years old!” She said laughing.
“Yeah, I remember you and Draco in the paddle pool together...” William said with a distant remembering smile.
“Oh gawd, let’s not bring THAT up again!” She said holding her face in her hand, then noticed her watch, using the time to change the subject. “Oh damn, it’s already five minutes after sunset, we better get going.”
“Hey Jinx, if some guy with black hair and a little twicked looking, just zap him or something.” He grinned as he stepped outside and mounted his broom.
“Sounds fun, by the way, I packed an extra pack of blood for you, you can drink it halfway over the Atlantic, after that your on our own for food.” as she lock up her house, than tapping the door with her wand causing a magical muggel repelling wall around it.
“See you in a week then?” He said giving her a hug.
“Of course.” She said, as he gave her a daughterly kiss on the cheek, then taking off on her broom. Waving good-bye to him as he flew off in the other direction.

**California**
Jinx had only stopped only once to eat at a small 24 hour dinner then left again quickly, she made it to Sunnydale’s political border about an hour after , hi, hiding her broom in her bag and taking a bus into town taking her to William’s new home, the hair on the nape of her neck stood on end from all the magical energy in the air, she handed felt so much since she was back home in New Mayhem. She asked the driver to stop just outside of the duplex William called home. Jinx could tell just from the look of the door, which one was his running her finger along the edge of the door she pulled out her wand and... “Alohamorum!” The door swung open without a sound, stepping in she walked over to the tiny kitchen and found some soda in the fridge and drank from it as she went to shut the door. She as she was closing the door, Jinx saw him tall, black hair, tweaked looking, smiling she waved and shut the door on him as he ran up to the apartment. “Ahheh to bad, he’s such a cute little muggle.” She said with a laugh as she sat down on the lazyboy turning on the big screen t.v. falling asleep during a Makihe Vhe Video rerun.


**Magic Shoppe**
“Buffy! G-man! Willow! You guys aren’t going to believe this!” Xander said gasping for air as he slumped down in a chair.
“What?” All three responded at once.
“And don’t call me that!” Giles said with a roll of his eyes.
“Some chick, at Spike’s, never seen her before, looks.......” Xander was at a loss for words.
“What?” All three again.
“Different, beautiful, I don’t know, really different. Buff I think you should check her out.”
“Wait your telling me that a young, attractive, alone female, is here in town and you aren’t running to ask her out?” Buffy exclaimed. “Something MUST be up.” She said decidedly grabbing her duffel back and some other vampire bagging goodies.
“What if I want to check her out?” Willow wondered out loud, they all gave her a mild look then shook theirs heads.
“Now Buffy we mustn’t go running off trying to slaying something or some one that might not even be an evil.” Giles said setting his glasses down on a table.
“Yeah, she might just be a minor demon or something. OR even human!” Willow said nodding
“HELLO! Guys, she is hanging out in SPIKE’S place, that can’t be a GooD thing!” Buffy said throwing her arms in the air.
“We can go over PEACEFULLY, and IF she isn’t of decent personage, THEN you may do your job.” Giles said diplomatically.
“Yes but only IF she’s a baddie.” Willow said with emphasn IFn IF.
“Good, well lets go then!” Buffy said as she finished packing her ‘toys’, a few daggers and stakes and a short sword.. Then stalking out to Willow’s minivan. Giles, Willow and Xander stood there watching the overzealous slayer. an wan we say ‘over kill’?” Xander asked as he chewed on some gum.
“Yeah...” Both Giles and Willow nodded in agreement, as the three of them follow the clearly hormonal slayer.

~Maybe she just needs to get laid?~ they all thought at the same time.


**William’s Place**
Jinx sat up suddenly as somebody pounding on the door. Getting up from the chair she had fallen asleep in, she carefully rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Looking through the peep hole she saw a rather short pissed dirty blond, the tweaked black haired boy, a mild looking red head, and a middle aged gentleman.
“Can you be helped?” She asked cheekily through the door, feinting an English accent.
“Would you mind opening the door?” Asked the older man.
“I most certainly do mind! You’ve come around ‘ere in the middle of the day, when normal people are trying to get used to get over jet-lag and don’t call first!” She finished with a humph, grinning madly waiting their responds hearing their rushed whispering. “Tell you what, name a club or bar or something for us to meet at later.” Jinx yelled through the door. She held her hand
over her mouth as she listen to them whisper again, it sounded like they were trying to hold back the blond from doing something drastic.
“Buffy! Will You PLEASE Shut Up!!!” The red head took her turn, “Ok there is a club called the Bronze, can we meet you there around...”
“8:30.” Jinx finished for them.
“Great, see you there!?” the red head said with a smile in her voice.
“Right.” Jinx shook her head laughing, has they heard them pulling the blonde away, who was cursing mildly.


**Bronze 8:38**
“She’s LATE!! Lets go get her!” Buffy said looking at her watch.
“Buffy why do you want to go after this girl so much?” Giles asked mildly as he sipped his beer.
“Yeah, she hasn’t done anything yet.” Willow said smiling at Tara as she walked through the door.
“Yet! Key word is yet! She’s up to something! They both are!.” Buffy said slamming down her soda. Xander rolled his eyes hiding his face behind his glass of beer.
“You know I’m usually right up there with ya, Bufster to kick evil’s ass, but I don’t think she’s evil.” He shrugged and then nodded to the door. “Hey look there she is.” They all turned and gaped slightly surprised. The front of her elbow length hair was pulled back, the rest of raven mane was in loss curls. Her curvy body was clad in red toga top and black leather hip-huggers and high heeled boots.
“Soooo, you guys are William’s friends?” She asked with a smile as she sat at the table. Her tan skin had a light n ofn of gold fairy glitter.
“Wh.. who’s William?” Tara asked, holding hands with Willow.
“Oh That’s Spike’s real name.” Willow said filling her in, the dusty blonde nodded.
“You guys call him Spike?” She said rubbing her temple. “That’s odd.” Shrugging she offered her hand out to Xander “I’m Adrian Jinx, Graduated Witch, most folks just call me Jinx.” Xander shook her hand, warm and soft to the touch.
“I’m Xander the dough-nut guy, that’s Willow and our resident witch with witchy girlfriend Tara, Giles the guy who has a book on everything and anything, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” He said nodding to each of them as they each shook her hand except Buffy.
“Ohhhhhh... You are Buffy.” Jinx said with a nod, “Nice to meet you, Spike has said interesting things about you.”
“Like What?” Buffy snapped sharply, as Jinx sipped her almaretto sour not noticing the death glares.
“I dunno, something about trying to kill each other and then sex... He lost me after that, he tends to babble at times on the phone.” She smiled and popped the cherry from her drink into her mouth. Buffy gapped at her then walked out of the club.
“I think you’ve made an enemy my dear.” Giles said shaking his head.
“Eh I’ve had worse, besides, I won’t be around for long. I’ll be out of here when William gets back.” She stood and looked around with a smile, then pulling the cherry stem out setting in on her napkin. Willow noticed it was now a little bow, then she noticed something else.
“Hey didn’t you have and English accent earlier?” Willow asked.
“Umm yeah, well.” She grabbed Xander’s arm and pulled him up. “Let’s dance.” Jinx said pulling him to the dance floor. Leaving Giles and Willow sitting there exchanging glances.
