Summary: After her sisters death Piper Evelyn Halliwell makes a life changing decision: to leave her magical life behind and live a normal life as Evelyn Halliwell. But things start to change when she meets Ron Weasley and discovers that he is a wizard. How long can she keep her secret?
A/N: My first Charmed/HP Crossover! Just to make some things clear about this story in general, it is slightly AU for both HP and Charmed. For HP this is going to be set after Ron has graduated from Hogwarts, both Harry and Hermione were killed in the final battle, so he left England and moved to San Francisco. For Charmed this is set after "All Hell Breaks Loose" at the end of season 3, but Prue and Phoebe were injured in the attack and died. Leo is still around but he and Piper aren't in a relationship. They will be later in the story though.
Chapter 1: Soul Mates?
Evelyn Halliwell walked into her home, after a long night at P3, a club that she owned in the city of San Francisco. It was well past midnight, by the time she had crossed the bridge and drove into her driveway, and her home although occupied by one other was completely dark.
Swinging open the front door, Evelyn reached for the hallway light and flicked it on. She quickly kicked her shoes off and hurried into the kitchen to see if her fiancé, Ron Weasley had left her any supper. Opening the fridge, she found nothing. Deciding that it was too late to start cooking, Evelyn went up to the room she shared with Ron. It was a small one bedroom house, but it was nice so neither of them minded, they were after all engaged.
She changed into her nightgown noticed by her sleeping fiancé, but as soon as she got into the bed he rolled over and said, "hey sweetie, busy night at the club, eh?"
"Yeah, and to make it even worse, two of my bartenders called in sick!"
"Aw, that's too bad," Ron replied, smiling at her in the darkness.
"I didn't even get to eat dinner! And I see that you never left any for me downstairs," she said.
"Oh yeah, well, Leo came over because he was bored since he didn't have a date for tonight and we ordered pizza," Ron said, "There wasn't any left."
"Alright then, I guess that's a good reason."
"Why don't you go downstairs and cook something, dear?"
Evelyn opened her mouth as if to say no and then changed her mind, "Ok, I will. Care to join me for a late night Valentine's dinner?"
"I'd love to," Ron responded and jumped out of the bed. Together they went to the kitchen and as Evelyn was starting to cook some chicken and rice, Ron said, "you know, Leo and I were talking about the wedding and I was wondering if there was anyway to see if we are soul mates or not."
"Why would it matter?" Evelyn asked, somewhat harshly.
"I don't know," Ron answered, with his head bowed. "Anyway, I came across this spell that will send your spirit to a past life to see if we're together and if we are that means we are soul mates." Evelyn placed the chicken and rice dish in the oven and sat down beside Ron at the table. Reaching for a piece of paper on the counter by the phone Ron grabbed it, folded it and handed it her to read.
She the paper and examined the spell that was written on it:
Remove the chains of time and space
And make my spirit soar
Let these mortal arms embrace
The life that haunts before
Evelyn let a gasp escape her lips as she read. "What? What is it, sweetie?" Ron asked nervously.
"Where did you get this spell!" she asked, sharply.
"Ev, honey, calm down. Leo gave it to me," he replied.
"Right, sorry," Evelyn said, she knew where Leo had gotten the spell. But what she couldn't figure out is why he would go back there after so long, she made a mental note to talk to Leo tomorrow about it.
Wanting something to do she went to check on the chicken; thankfully it looked like it was done. Evelyn pulled it out and placed it on the table.
Dinner was silent, although Ron could tell that she was uneasy about something. He thought about asking her, but figured that she wasn't going to give him answer. She certainly was a mysterious woman. Somehow she knew about magic and everything that had to do with it, but she also showed no signs of any magical powers; Ron was astonished at this, but decided not to question her about this matter either. If she wanted to tell him then she would, and he will have to wait until she was ready.
"Well, I'm going off the bed, it is after all almost one-thirty in the morning," Evelyn said, putting her dishes in the dishwasher. "Will you clean up for me?"
"Of course, I'll be up as soon as I'm done." She left the kitchen and climbed the stairs for the second time that night. Crawling into bed, she hoped that she could convince Ron not to cast that spell, because if he did, she would have a lot of explaining to do.
A/N: For those of you wondering, no, Piper will not be called Evelyn for the entire story. In fact she might go back to Piper in the next chapter. Sorry the first chapter is so short. I intend on making the next one longer. It should be up in a few days. Thanks for reading and please review!
