Chapter 112 - Splitting Of The Scoobies
Dumbledore had thought it best not to tell the school what Davies had tried to do but unfortunately like almost
any secret at Hogwarts it was bound to come out before too long and sure enough by the next morning the whole
school knew. After it was discovered what he had tried to do several more female students had revealed that he
had tried to make them to do things they did not want to do and that probably the only reason he hadn't actually
tried to force any of them before was because he knew he would not get away with it, he obviously thought that
the spell would give him the opportunity to do so.
Fortunately though they did not dwell on it for long and by the next weekend it was all but forgotten as other
things were more interesting to discuss.
Firstly the Animagus training had been proceeding well, it turned out that Spike and Anya's demonic traits did
indeed inhibit their ability to change little more than the dimensions of certain body parts (which had caused a
lot of grinning from Spike), but the rest of the group had been proceeding well and wanted to keep training but
the second and third bits of news would put a stop to that.
There had been another occurrence of the red spell. This time it appeared that everyone had become suddenly
intensely greedy, it had hit at breakfast resulting a sort of reverse food fight where everyone tried to grab as
much foot as they could, even the Headmaster had been affected, it was not until Willow and Tara had entered and
cast a large room wide stunner that they had managed to stop it. Luckily all that result was a few broken
fingers and wrists.
If that was not enough for Hogwarts there was one last bit of news which was just as interesting as the last:
The Scoobies had had a meeting and had decided that it was time for some of them to return to Sunnydale, Buffy
had a Hellmouth to defend while the rest had various jobs or education related reasons to go back. Angel had
also contacted them and requested that Buffy return sooner rather than later as new unknown evils were on the
rise in both Sunnydale and LA and he could not deal with both at once.
Another reason to proceed back quickly was that as Angel was now the CEO of Wolfram & Hart Los Angeles (which
was the biggest law firm with business in the magical world and was also known to be very evil) that he had to
spend as much time watching his company as the other evils on the rise. Angel was sure he could not entirely
trust the company and the fact that he had accepted the job made the Scoobies a little unsure as to whether they
could trust him even thought he had provided them with the means to get to England as fast as they did to rescue
Adam.
So Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles and Anya had decided it was time to head back, but that of course left Anne,
Tara, Spike and Dawn at Hogwarts.
Anne was staying because Sunnydale wasn't really her home anymore, she belonged at Hogwarts and it would be
rather awkward having two of them in the same house.
Tara was staying because she wanted to learn a bit more about the Wizarding World, she had to continue teaching
Wiccan to the students and she and Anne had made an agreement with Harry and the group to exchange stories about
their past exploits, she also wanted to complete her lessons with Hermione as they were fast becoming friends.
Spike was staying to explore his new family history and to keep an eye on Draco, though of course he never
admitted to the latter reason. Also apparently Hagrid had been able to acquire him some blood from various
magical creatures that he was rather enjoying.
And lastly Dawn was staying to complete her training with Adam and to stay close to Harry and Fleur so as to not
put excessive strain on their link.

Time: Late Afternoon
They were all now standing in the Staffroom in front of the fireplace along with the Headmaster, Adam and Harry.
Dumbledore had set up a special connection between the fireplace of the Summers House, Hogwarts and Harry's
three residences that could only be used by Order members, the Scoobies, and the others who had admittance to
Harry's houses (he had granted permission to the rest of the Order, the Scoobies and at the request of the
Headmaster and with great reluctance Snape access to his residences).
"Are you sure about this Dawn, I could stay as well, all...."
"Buffy!! It's ok; I'm going to be fine, besides I've got Spike, Tara, Anne, Adam, Fleur and Harry to take care
of me."
"I promise you that I will protect her Buffy," promised Harry "She will not be harmed, I swear it."
"We'll keep the Bit safe Buffy." Agreed Spike.
Buffy finally accepting her sister's safety gave her one final hug before stepping back, the only people left
to say goodbye were Willow and Tara who had just shared a passionate kiss and were now crying.
"Miss you already." sobbed Willow.
"W....we'll see each other soo....soon and we can talk through the fire....fireplace." Tara reassured her though
she was crying just as hard and stuttering terribly.
"Be safe."
"Yo....you to." Tara stuttered back.
Willow stepped away from her lovers embrace, their fingers staying in contact for as long as physically
possible.
Buffy turned and picked up some floo powder before turning back.
"Goodbye Dawn." she turned around throwing the powder into the fire "1630 Rubello Drive, California, USA." the
fire flared and she stepped into the green flames, over the next minute the group stepped into the flames.
And thus the Scoobies were split.
________________________________________________________________________
Over the next few days school started to return to normal (at least as normal as Hogwarts gets during a school
year when Harry Potter is a student), lessons proceeded as usual with only the slight difference that the MD
had officially been added to the syllabus, Adam and Dumbledore had decided that MD should actually give the
students something at the end of their training rather than just a well done, so now the students would be
awarded separate certificates of NEWT Level for Duelling and MD, the latter saying that they had passed the
class and were now masters of hand-to-hand combat and of their chosen weapon, in addition Adam would gave them
each their weapon of choice, each of would had been hand crafted specially designed to suit the user like those
already given to Blaise.
As a result of the new lesson plans several more people had opted to join the course, Adam, Harry and Anne had
also requested that everyone who had already passed the class come back to help train the now greatly increased
numbers, secretly planning to award them HAWKS's if they did well.
Some of the scenes turned out to be very funny, such as Ginny teaching a load of tall seventh years how to hold
a dagger as she brandished one of her own having finished the course. She now wielded a pair of curved daggers
each with a foot long blade as well as a meter high bow and a full quiver of arrows that would never run out.
Hermione, Tara and Dawn wielded similar weapons though their bows were slightly larger as they were both taller
and had longer arm lengths allowing them to pull the strings further. All the archers especially had developed
stronger muscles around their arms and shoulders as fully pulling a bow string was incredibly difficult. Luckily
though the extra pulling power did not come at the expense of their womanly figures (much to their relief) and
was only really evident when you felt the muscles through the skin.
Ron now wielded a very vicious looking Axe standing a meter and a half tall with a wide and long double headed
blade at the top.
Most frightening of all though, was a very much fitter (thanks to the classes) Neville who actually came out top
in hand-to-hand combat wielding a two meter long double headed spear, it had been specially designed to shrink
down to a small piece of wood no more than ten centimetres in length (as had all the bows and the axe) that
would extended when needed, the spear heads also moulded back into the wood when they were not in use. He
definitely looked the most dangerous as he now stood at six foot tall (the same height as Ron and Adam and just
taller than Harry) with very a muscular torso and forearms, he and Ron were most definitely the heavy artillery
in the group, not that you would want to get in the way of any of them.
In addition all the hand-to-hand weapons had runes carved into them that Adam said gave them extra magical
strength which prevented them from denting or blunting.
The ruins spelt out:
‘Coth o Um'
Which translated as:
‘Enemy of Evil'
Each weapon (not including Draco and Harry's swords) also had the owners name carved into the blade or handle as
some looked fairly similar when laid beside each other except for the slight size differences between the bows
and blades.
The only other major changes was that the students could pick up Wiccan Magic in the old MD slots as an official
lesson taught by Tara and Hermione (who had now got the hand of the technique as Tara had of wand magic. Harry
and Hermione had had Ollivanders make her a wand out of beach and a strand of Willow's hair for Tara to use),
any members of the DA who hadn't joined the class when it was first announced immediately joined up.
If and when Voldemort and James's forces attacked again, they would be against stronger opponents this time.

Date: 24th November 2001 AD
Country: Britain - Scotland
Location: Hogwarts Grounds - Quidditch Pitch
Time: Late Afternoon
"Good afternoon witches and wizards of Hogwarts and welcome to the second Quidditch match of the school term, my
name is Terry Boot and I will be your commentator today!!"
"I don't know about other Quidditch players, but I always find games a lot more fun to play than to watch."
"What about the World Cup?" asked Tonks.
"That's a bit different to a Hogwarts Quidditch match," replied Harry " I spend half my time saying wow at those
sort of matches but in a Hogwarts match I have to stop myself criticizing the other seekers technique."
"I do that when I see others duel Arry." Explained Fleur "It happens to everybody, if you ever find something
that you are very good at you will immediately begin judging everyone else's skill at it."
"What teams are playing today?" asked Anne.
"Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw," replied Tara "From what I have heard it is likely to be a short match."
"Why?"
"Hufflepuff are unfortunately the Quidditch team that comes consistently in last place and they have done so
unfortunately for the last ten years." Replied Dumbledore.
"You can imagine what that does for their confidence." Added Harry.
"Anyone we know playing?" asked Colette
"Cho from the DA and a few others over both teams but that's about it."
"And the game begins!!"
"Would it be wrong for a Professor to bet how long it will take the match to take?" asked Harry a couple of
minutes and thirty Ravenclaw points later.
"Not if you only bet on how long it will last rather than who will win." Replied Dumbledore.
"I bet five galleons on fifteen minutes."
"Twenty minutes." Countered Tonks.
"Done."
"You certainly have been." Replied the Auror grinning.
"Where is Hermione?" asked Tara lowering her binoculars "I can't see her with Ron and Dawn in the Gryffindor
seating area."
"Usually during games that Gryffindor are not playing in she comes to the pitch but goes and sits on the ground
just outside the stadium so she can study quietly," replied Harry "She will then meet up with us just after the
match, she's only really interested in Quidditch if it's people she knows well are playing."
"Or Bulgarian Seekers." Added Fleur with a smile causing a smattering of laughter from those who understood the
joke "What is the score now?"
"Sixty-ten I think." Replied Anne "You're right, this game isn't as interesting to watch as the last one."
"I am sure we could arrange from someone to fall off their broom at a great height for you at every game if you
wished." Grinned Tonks.
"It could improve the suspense a...." She was cut of mid sentence by a very out of breath Hagrid running onto
the pitch and bellowing up at them.
"Professor Dumbledore Sir!! Professor Dumbledore!!"
"What is it Hagrid?" asked the Headmaster moving towards the front of the box.
"It's the Minister Sir!! He's arrested Hermione!!"
Dumbledore had thought it best not to tell the school what Davies had tried to do but unfortunately like almost
any secret at Hogwarts it was bound to come out before too long and sure enough by the next morning the whole
school knew. After it was discovered what he had tried to do several more female students had revealed that he
