I'm re-posting these two plot bunnies in honor of the new Harry Potter movie.

one:
Spike is still incorporeal and is the History of Magic professor at Hogwarts and Xander is the DADA professor. They are in an established relationship, Spike can touch Xander and Xander can touch him only when Xander is wearing the amulet. They are there to help Harry win the war, and in exchange Dumbledore will help turn Spike corporeal.

and two:
