The True Hero

Thrills

The trio ran at me for ages with everyone else cheering them on, I soon became very tired and surprised when the spells kept missing me. I was tired and I thought I may as well get everything over and done with. I stopped, turned around and faced the trio.

"I have just one question." I said confidently to them.

"Why should we answer-" Hermione started but Harry cut her off.

"Okay then, I guess that's the decent thing to do."

"Okay, well- actually wait I don't want to know about Azkaban before I die..."

"Suit yourself, ok are you ready Ron, Hermione?"

They started to raise their wands.

"Wait."

"Oh for god sakes! What?!" Harry questioned me exasperatedly.

"Well I...."

I thought about telling Harry how I felt but then I thought that would just be stupid.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked quietly.

Harry suddenly went really quiet and gestured for Hermione to say something.

She obliged, " Well Buffy, we are going to torture you for a while and then kill you-"

"Wait, Kill?" Harry looked at Hermione in shock. "Torture?"

Hermione turned to Harry, "What? You said yourself that we were going to do what could have nearly happened to me."

Harry paled, "But that's wrong! And Buffy didn't even do anything!"

"Well you said it!"

"But it's wrong!"

"You said it!"

"It's wrong!"

"You said it!"

"But it's wrong!"

"You-"

"Would you two please hurry up and decide?"

"Huh?" They both said to me.

"Would. You. Please. Hurry. Up. And. Decide."

Harry looked at Hermione "Don't hurt her." And then he went and sat down on a rock.

Wow you don't want me to be tortured and killed, so you sit on a rock?
Such a genius.

Hermione seemed stuck on if she should listen to Harry or not.

I stood there getting impatient and noticed it had suddenly gotten quite dark.

"Strange." I said.

"Shut up." Ron told me.

"Hey Harry."

"What?" He asked, surprised I was talking to him.

"Why is it suddenly so dark?"

The three of them all looked around surprised as well. Then it hit me.

"Those freaking vampires and demons must have opened the hell mouth."

"Huh?"

Then from the corner of my eye I saw something head for Harry. A freaking vampire.

I lunged for the vampire and held it away from Harry.

"Did you open the hell mouth?"

It laughed. "NO! Slayer will never guess!"

The trio just stared at us confused.

"I won't have to guess you'll tell me." I grabbed the cross on my neck and shoved it in his mouth for ten seconds. That's all I had to do.

"Our new master has made it dark for us to kill Harry Potter quicker."

Harry suddenly had this look on his face which seemed like he must have been remembering what I told him in the morning, which he called a pathetic cover story.

"And how did your master make it dark?"

"I will never tell."

I threatened it with the cross again and it whimpered.

"We were all given these crystals." He took out a crystal.

"What happens if I break it?"

"I'LL KILL YOU FIRST!" It lunged at me so I staked it and it turned to dust. I then crushed the crystal to dust and the sun came back.

"Seriously? I only needed to break one of them? That's so boring."

As soon as I looked up, Harry tackled me in a hug but I pushed him away.

"I'm mad at you three."

"But I told them to NOT torture and kill you."

"I'm not mad about that, you sent my best friend to Azkaban."

"Oh right, we'll send for her to come back straight away." Harry told me reassuringly.

Hermione glared daggers at Harry, "Have you forgotten what she did?"

"It was an accident, she may be a witch but she's very new to this world."

Hermione nodded looking like she was making herself understand and force herself to get over it, which I was really thankful for.

"So you're not a witch then?" Ron asked.

"No I was sent here to protect Harry from demons and vampires."

I then looked at Harry, "You said you'd send for her to come back straight away.

"Oh right, and he rushed into the castle."
