chapter 2

ok finally a second chapter....sorry for the delay for anyone who would like to read this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Willow just sat on the corner of the bed staring at the owl and the letter. She was confused as to who would send her a letter with an owl of all creatures. Curiosity got the better of her though and she reached out for the letter.

* Oh I hope the bird won't try to bite me!* Willow tentively reached out a had and sntached the letter away quickly before the bird would have a chance of biting her.

The owl ruffled its feathers and gave of an air of offense.

Willow looked at the bird appologeticly once she realised she had somehow offended the creature. * Never seen a letter written on this kind of paper before. Wonder what it has to say?*

Willow opened the letter and noticed it was addressed to her. * Well duh, it did come to my window.*

Dear Miss Rosenberg,

It has come to my attention, as well as some disreputable people as well, that you have a great power locked with in yourself. Also that you are a great threat to yourself as well as others. I mean not to offend but you did try to end the world and nearly succeeded. There is one out there though who wants you to aid in his cause. He believes you are evil enough, or could be taught his kind of evilness, to aid him. I know of the cercumstances in which led you to try to end things and I know that you are not inherantly evil. I would, as well as those who work under me, like to aid you in controlling that power that you have. I run a school called Hogwarts. It is a school were young witches and wizards learn the craft. I fear though it was my fault that you were not able to attend at the starting age and that is why you have no control. I believe what you live on had help in concealing from our world. Please accept this invitation to join Hogwarts as a seventh year for ! fear you are in grave danger and in need of protection.

Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore

*Well that was enlightning* Willow looked up to the bird and grabbed a pen from her desk. As she turned over the letter she noticed more writing on the back. This confused her some.

P.S.

I write this on the back in case you accept the invetation. If we recieve your acceptance you will be sent to the house of our top student Miss Hermione Granger. She will be able to teach you all past six years of school. If you accept someone will arrive at your place of residence in one week when school will be let out for the summer. His name is Hagrid and he will escort you to the airport and then pick you up once you arrive in london. You will then be escorted to Diagon Alley to purchase a wand and other school supplies.

Willow ripped off the lower half of the wierd paper and wrote that she will be waiting for her escort to arrive. She then gave the bird her letter and thanked him.

*Feels wierd thanking a bird. It seems as if he understood me.* Willow looked around her room and began packing her things. *Not as if they will miss me here.* A tear slipped down her cheek.

~~~~~~~~
Downstairs Buffy could hear movement and scuffling.* I wonder what Willow is doing. I wish I could talk to her but I don't know what to say. It's so damned confusing. She tried to end the world, was the big bad, and she is my friend, my best friend.* Buffy sighed and headed up the stairs to try to talk to Willow. As soon as she reached the door she knocked once then opened the door. What she saw made her gasp.

When Willow heard the gasp behind her she knew that she would have some explaining to do. * Not as if they really care. they just probably want me gone anyhow.* Another tear fell down her face and she turned around to face Buffy.

Buffy closed her mouth and then asked, "What's going on Willow?"

"Like you care. Anyways I am packing my stuff and I am going to England. There are people there who could help me and actually care about what happens to me," stated Willow.

Buffy was shocked at that response. She had no idea what was going on. "Willow, I do care what happens to you you are my best friend-"

Willow cut her off in midsentence,"My best friend my ass. All you people do is ignore me or give me dirty looks. Not once in three weeks have you people asked how I was. If you wanted me gone all you had to do was say so and I would have moved out of your lives. But letting me stay here and ignoring me is much worse than telling me I must move out. So now I am leaving next week and I don't give a shit what you people think of me anymore you don't care. Where is Giles I need to yell at him for something?"

All Buffy could do is stand there in shock as Willow's words hit home.*It's true what she said. All of it.* Buffy's face fell a little and turned to leave the room and lead Willow to Giles.

They went down into the living room where Giles, Xander, and Dawn were sitting. They gave Buffy a strange look and then looked to Willow with disgust in their eyes. * Damn Willow hit it on the button on the death glares we gave her. I never noticed. Fuck!*

Willow just stands there and glares back at them with diffiance in her eyes. Her posture straightens out a bit and she opens up into a roar.

"Giles why in the fuck did you not tell me about this school for witches and wizards when I was starting out?" She yelled." I could have had control over this. Been tought the correct way, but you didn't mention one fucking word of it to me!" She seen Giles open his mouth to say something but cut him off, " I don't want to hear it. Forget I asked you. You have lost my respect for you. As for the rest of you I am sick and tired of the death glares and you people ignoring me. You will not have to put up with me any longer as I am leaving to England in one week. I am not going to stay in this house any longer and having to look at you hate me. As of tonight I am no longer a friend of yours. You have all betrayed me." The last part was choked out as tears began to fall from her eyes.

She turned around and left to go upstairs to pack her stuff. Giles was sputtering and Xander and Dawn had looks of shock on their faces. Xander was starting to look like he was angry but Buffy jumped in.

" You have no right to be angry with her because she is right 100 percent. We have all betrayed her in her time of need when she is always with us in our time of need." As she said this tears started cascading down her cheeks and she fell onto the couch.

A few minutes later Willow came down the stairs. She stopped in front of them all and dropped the house key onto the floor. She looked into their eyes one last time and exited the house and went to her own home.

"You wished to see me Professor?" Asked Hermione

"Yes. Please have a seat. I will be getting a letter in a few moments and I would like you here with me." As soon as Dumbledore stopped speaking an owl came through the window with a letter.

It stopped in front of hime and gave a small hoot. Dumbledore chuckled a little and the owl's attitude.

"Never thought she could ruffle your feathers Ash." Dumbledore open the letter and smiled.

"Ah now down to business Miss Granger. I was wondering if you would like to tutor a student over the summer. It will be quite chalenging because you will be teaching her from first year all the way to sixth year." At this Hermione's mouth fell open a little. " I trust you will help the young lady. She will need to stay at your house with you though. Your parents have already approved but are waiting for your go ahead. You must keep it a secret who you are tutoring though. She is widely known to us and is in grave danger."

Hermione nodded her head."May I ask who I will be tutoring?"

Dumbledore gave her a level look before answering her question." Willow Rosenberg."

At this Hermione turned extremely pale and gasped." Isn't she the one who almost ended the world a couple of weeks ago?"

"Yes, but it was out of grief and pain. You see her lover, also a witch, was murdered in her hands. Shot by a stray bullet meant for someone else. The woman died instantly. She sought revenge for the one who killed her lover and tortured him and a few other to death. After she killed them she didn't want anyone else to feel the pain she went through and decided to end the world so no one else could feel that kind of pain. You have to keep in mind though that she was not thinking clearly with all the magic that was flowing through her. She does not use a wand so magic goes directly through her."

Hermione had a few tears in her eyes from the story. She couldn't help but think how much the woman must be in pain. "How old is she professor?"

"She is 19. I know she is too old to attend school, but she must gain control over her power because Voldemort is seeking her out. I do hope that you two will become friends because her own have turned their backs against her and she suffers. She will need a friend in the year to come."

Hermione nodded, not sure what to say to this. She looked Dumbledore in the eyes," I will do all that I can and I will be a friend to her. No one deserves what happened to her. If that is all I would like to go back to my dorm and think a few things over."

Dumbledore nodded his head and excused her. As she closed the door behind her he exhaled a breathe. "Thank the gods for Hermione. If not for her I do fear that Miss Rosenberg would become evil from being spurned by the ones she loves most."
