Piper Halliwell Hogwarts Student
a/n: Piper is fifteen years old and is about to go to hogwarts for the first time. Her older sisters Paige Prue and Phoebe are going too but not as students like Piper, they are going as teachers. Piper is going to have to live with the fact that her classmates know that her sisters are her teachers. The word for this Chapter is surprised I own neither harry potter or Charmed. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 1
When Dumbledore Vists and Diagon Alley
Piper sat up and tapped the alarm clock on her nightstand, it was the middle of July so she was unsure as to why she had turned it on. She got out of her bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. As she wandered past the living room when she got downstairs she seen an old man with a very long silvery grey beard, wearing long light blue robes. He was holding a wand in his right hand. Piper screamed when she saw him. Paige heard and came into the room. She seen Dumbledore standing there he was rather confused as to why this young lady had screamed when she seen him. "Hello. My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. My school is in great danger and I need your help." Was all he could say to the two very confused witches standing in the hallway in their Pyjamas.
Piper and Paige looked at each other un-sure of what to do or say. Phoebe and Prue had joined them. Prue had quickly took charge of the situation. "Mister Dumbledore. How is your school in danger? And how can we help you save it?"
"You can start by calling me professor. The school is constantly being targeted by one dark wizard, he goes by the name of Lord Voldemort, or he who must not be named."
"Leo." Prue called to the ceiling. He orbed in to see what his charges wanted. He walked over to Albus ruffling Piper's hair as he walked past.
"Albus. Great to see you again. Is this about what I think it is?" He asked gaining four looks of utter shock.
"Honey." Prue started. (a/n: More on Prue and Leo later.) "Do you mind explaining this to us."
"Well, Albus is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And as it is a school it needs teachers. People to teach magic to the next generation. You three." He said pointing to the older three siblings.
"what about me. If you guys agree to this I will be left on my own for a year while you guys visit England." Piper put in.
"Well Piper you would not have to teach at the school. You would be a student instead. In your fifth year. Should be quite easy considering that you are a Charmed One." Piper got off the arm of the sofa she was sitting on and went into the kitchen to get a drink.
"Okay do we do this or do we wait until later before we make our decision?" Phoebe asked. "I mean whatever decision we make will effect our little sister, and magic has already messed up her childhood."
"I think that we should because there are many children in that school, children that will need protection from this Voldemort guy. And it is a massive oppertunity for Piper to learn about different forms of magic." Paige put in
"Okay where do we sign up. If those two are game then so am I." Prue smiled. "Piper get back in here." Piper came into the sitting area. She had been listening to the conversation from behind the door. Before she had left she had pretended that it was good for her to go to Hogwarts, but she wasn't entirely sure now that it was happening.
Dumbledore stood up and raised his wand. "Remember school starts on the first of September. The train leaves at eleven o'clock sharp from kings cross train station in London. Don't be late. I will send you an owl explaining everything to you nearer the time. Including what school supplies to get and what subjects you will be teaching. I have to go. Sherbet Lemon anybody." When everybody had declined the sweets he raised his wand again and apperated out of the house.
Piper ran up the stairs and wuickly flung on some clothes. She came back down a few minutes later wearing shorts and a tee-shirt. "Where do you think you are going?" Prue asked her blocking the door.
"I'm going to Lucca's place I apparently have very big news to tell my little circle of friends." She said squeezing past her sister and leaving the house. Prue sighed and went to the kitchen to discuss what they fought hogwarts would be like over some breakfast.
Piper had gotten on her bike and cycled to Lucca's house. Piper had known Lucca since they were babies. Their mother's had met through Penny Haliwell's attempt's to get a coven set up for Patty, it turned out that Lucca was a witch too. So Piper had told him pretty quickly that she was one as well. She knocked on his pearl white front door. "High Mrs. Robert's is Lucca awake?"
"He's in his bedroom. Just go straight up." Mrs Roberts said letting Piper in. She walked up the stairs and went into Lucca's room.
"Lucca, it's me. Can you tell me if it's safe to come in." He opened the door and let her into the room.
"Something has to be really wrong for you to be here at this time during summer break." Piper sat him down on the bed and then sat on the chair at his computer desk. "I'm going to a school in Britian. It's a magic school called Hogwarts. I have to go there because my sisters have agreed to be teachers there." Lucca started laughing at her. "It's not funny, it's a serious problem. I cannot have my three older sisters as teachers, I'll be beaten for sure."
"Don't you think that you are over thinking this a little bit. It's not as if one of them is your mom. Be lucky for that. I have my mother for trig everyday, so everybody expects me to automatically know everything in that class."
"Dude so not the point." There was a knock on the door. The teens looked towards it.
"If you guys want pancakes then you better grab them while they are hot." They stood up and followed Mrs. Roberts out of the room and into the kitchen.
A few weeks later Piper got out of bed to the sound of an owl rapping the window with it's beak. She opened it remembering that Dumbledore had said something about sending an owl. There were four letters attached to it's beak. One for Piper and one for each of her sister's. "They came!" Piper yelled at the top of her voice. She only did it to annoy Prue. She had been a little sharp lately, and Piper wanted to push her buttons. "What's here." Prue called to her from her own bedroom.
"The letters from Hogwarts." Piper called back. Paige walked into her bedroom.
"Do you need to shout. I need my beauty sleep, and I deserve it on my day off." Piper nodded and handed Paige her letter, while she was waiting for Phoebe and Prue to come out of their bedrooms she opened her own.
On the front of the letter it read:

"Where exactly will we get all of this?" Piper asked. She had never either of the people who had written her textbooks. Leo came into the room looking for Prue they had been cuddling in bed before Piper started yelling. "We could always go to Diagon Alley to get your new school things." He told her. Piper looked confused she had never heard of Diagon Allley before, and to be honest she had thought that he had said diagonally at first. She smiled at him. "Does it mean shopping?" She asked. Everybody smiled. Everybody got dressed and eat breakfast before Leo orbed them to the Alley.
When the re-submerged they were suddenly half submerged in the crowd. Leo pointed them in the direction of Gringott's where they could exchange some money for the Galleons, sickles and knuts. After that they decided that it was time for Piper to receive her first wand. So they went for the obvious choise which was Oliviander's.
Inside the wandmaker's shop Piper nervously walked over to the large counter where a smallish wizard was standing behind. "I would like to purchase a wand." She said as clear as day. "Excellent, you have come to the right place." He said and turned around to face the countless numbers of wands that were stacked high on the shelves. "Here you go, try this one." He placed a wand on the counter. Piper picked it up and waved it. She put it back down pretty quickly when it smashed the window. Nobody was hurt so it was all right. "Why don't we try another." Olivander suggested. He pulled out another wand and placed it on the counter, again to no avail. The third time was the same. When Piper picked up a sycamore and Veela hair twelve inch springy wand and waved it. Beautiful blue sparks flew out of it and around Piper. "This is the only wand I have ever made with Veela Hair. And they say that the wand chooses the wizard. The one you have is perfect for conjuring." Piper paid for her wand and left the shop. "I wonder what he meant when he said that the wand chooses the wizard.
Next they went to Madame Malkin's Robes for all occaisions, where she was fitted for her robes. Draco Malfoy was in there too, he was being fitted for new robes as his old ones were too small. "Who are you and why are you being fitted for robes?" He asked with a demanding demeanor.
"I'm Piper Halliwell, and I am starting Hogwarts in September. I'll be in fifth year." Draco's mouth hung open, why was an American witch joining Hogwarts.
"Wait Halliwell, does that mean that you are a charmed one? Are you full blood witches?" He asked.
"Yeah. Why does it matter?" Draco smiled at her. She looked nice in jeans and a long sleeved pink tee-shirt. "What is your name?" She asked.
"Draco Malphoy. I come from a long line of Slytherins' You would be better hanging out with me. You see there are few wizarding families that are worthy of hanging around with a powerful witch like you." Piper looked shocked at what he said.
"I don't care about power. I just want to go to school for a year and not be bothered by demon's or girls like Cindy Walker." She said. It was then that Draco noticed that Piper's aura was good. he had cast a spell to see power and now he could see people's aura's. He had noticed that his father's was pretty dark, but he knew that Lucious was involved with the dark lord. Piper paid for her robes and walked out the shop. "How did he get his hair so perfect?" Paige asked lifting a few clumps of her ponytail. "Don't be fooled by his perfect appearance. He was practically gloating that he only hangs out with full blood or powerful half-blood witches or wizards. He was perfectly horrible about it too." She told her sister's "He seemed to know who we are too." It was added as an after thought, but she never actually mentioned the way she had answered his question.
Next they went into Flourish and Blotts to get her books. "Do you guy's know what classes you will be teaching?" She asked looking for Standard book of spells grade five. "Yes and we are not telling you until you get to school." Prue told her. Piper frowned and gave book she was looking for to Paige before heading over to see the Gilderoy Lockheart books. As she was about to pick up a copy of Magical Me when a voice sounded from behind her. "You know he's a phony don't you." Piper turned around and seen a boy about her age. He had unruly dark hair, glasses and bright green eyes. "And you are who exactly?" She asked in return.
"Harry Potter. And you are?" He asked her.
"Piper Halliwell." She smiled at him. "You're the boy who lived aren't you?" Harry nodded.
"You're a Charmed One. Are you and your sisters' starting Hogwarts?" He asked out of pure curiosity.
"My sisters are starting as teachers, they are all too old to e students. I met another Hogwarts student in the robe store. He said he was in Slytherin. How many houses are there?" She said.
"Four." Harry answered. " Slytherin, which you already know about. Gryffindor, that is the house I'm in. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, are the other two." Phoebe came over and told Piper to hurry up so that they could get the rest of the stuff she needed. "I'll see you at school Harry." Piper said before paying for the book and leaving the store. They got everything else that Piper needed before going and getting some ice cream from Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlour. After that they went home. Where Piper packed her trunk ready for the term ahead.
a/n: First Chapter finished. Never took as long as I thought it would. Leo fell in love with Prue instead of Piper as she is still a kid. The elders, after a bit of persuasion, let them get married they still had to go through the whole forbidden love the elders caved earlier.
