It was nearing the end of summer break and all the students were getting ready to return to school. Most of all the staff were at Hogwarts already

Paige walks to the kitchen and finds her husband and children sitting at the table. "Morning."

Bill looks at Paige and smiles. "Morning, Paige. How'd you sleep?"

Paige sits down and runs her hand through the hair of her 10 year old daughter, Emily. "Horribly. I should ask Severus, Piper, or Aunt Poppy for some Dreamless Sleep. I just have been having really bad dreams."

Emily looks at her mother. She had fair skin, short medium brown hair, and brown eyes. She wore a blue-shirt, dark blue jeans, and tennis shoes.

Miya, Bill and Paige's 11 year old, sat playing with her food. She had fair skin, long red hair that reaches her lower back, and blue eyes. She wore a soft purple tank top with a small blue colored spiral wave logo, a khaki miniskirt, khaki hiking boots, and soft purple leg warmers. "I hope I get into Ravenclaw."

Aria, Paige and Bill's 12 year old, looks at Miya. She had long brown hair with natural red highlights, blue eyes, and fair skin. She wore a soft pink sleeveless hoodie, Denim capris that have a khaki cuff on the front, and soft pink hiking boots. "Of course you will. You're too much like mom to be put in Gryffindor."

Bill smiles. "Your sister's right, plus when you get older, you'll be as smart as your mother also."

Paige hugs Miya and winks. "You're a true Ravenclaw. Just like me." She then sends a playful glare at her husbands. "I'm not as strong as Prue or Piper, so shut it."

Bill laughs and looks at his two eldest daughters. "Now go get packed, we're staying with your Aunt Piper and Uncle Alastor for a few days."

Aria and Miya run to their rooms.

Phoebe was making sure all of her kids' bags were shrunk and in her pocket, before shrinking her and her husband's bags and pocketing them.

Sirius was outside with his and Phoebe's kids: Aquarius, Virgo, and Libra.

Aquarius, their 13 year old, was watching Libra and Virgo. She had long black hair with natural light brown highlights that reaches up to her waist, brown eyes, and fair skin. She wore a pink shirt with a heart on it on top of a long sleeve turquoise shirt. She has a layered ruffle skirt and knee high pink socks. Her shoes are the same one's that she wears in her civilian and back to school outfits.

Virgo, their 12 year old, was laying on the ground reading. She had brown hair that just an inch or two past her chin, brown eyes, and fair skin. She wore a light blue and white collared short sleeve midriff/crop top with four dark pink hearts on the right side, a short layered dark denim skirt, really long light blue knee socks, dark blue high heels with dark pink laces, and a dark pink band which is (measuring from the bottom of her arm) three quarters up her arm.

Libra, their 11 year old, sat by a tree. She had long dark brown hair almost black that fell in thick waves past her shoulders, grey eyes, and fair skin. She wore a teal crop top with dark blue trim and pale yellow sleeves with blue slightly flared jeans that have stars on the bottom of the legs. Her shoes are yellow wedge-sandals with straps over the instep.

Sirius looks at Aquarius. "Aquarius, when the school year starts, I want you to keep an eye on your sisters and protect Libra."

Aquarius looks at her father and smirks, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "I will, Dad. I may be a Slytherin, but she's my little sister and no one will hurt her while I'm around. And Kusano can protect herself, especially when her friends are around."

Sirius laughs. "You're a true Slytherin just like your mother and uncle."

Virgo looks at her father. "Don't worry, Aquarius is like the princess of the Slytherins and no one fucks with her."

Sirius nods. "Thanks girls."

Severus walks into the kitchen to see Prue doing the dishes from that morning. He sighs and goes to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Are the kids all packed?"

Prue leans against Severus and closes her eyes, glad that no demons had attacked her family since the end of last year. "Yes, they are. Wade is out in the yard, Amanita is in the library reading about animagi, Katrina is listening to music and reading in her room, and Cana is in the living room."

Severus frowns and leads his wife to the living room.

Cana, their 11 year old, sat on the couch going over something in her head. She had fair skin, green eyes, and mid-back length brown hair - which is darker than her aunts, but lighter than her mother's - she was the spitting image of her mother. She wore a red one strap top, one purple colored armband upon her right arm, slightly baggy blue jeans, and red sneakers.

Prue looks at Cana. "Cana, is something wrong?"

Severus sat down beside his youngest child.

Cana looks down. "T-The Sorting… I-If I don't get sorted into either Slytherin or Gryffindor, you'll disown me…"

Prue frowns and kneels in front of her daughter. "Who told you that?"

Cana whimpers. "A-Amanita…"

Prue sighs. "Amanita is wrong. We'll love you no matter what."

"You will, Mommy?" Cana looks at her mother.

Severus pulls Cana onto his lap and hugs her. "Yes, Cana. No matter what house you get sorted into, we'll support you."

Cana hugs her father. "Thanks, Daddy!" She then looks at her mother. "Thanks, Mommy!"

Prue smiles at Severus and Cana. "You're welcome, Sweetheart. Now go get your brother and sisters."

Cana gets up and runs out of the room.

Piper was just finishing setting up the guest rooms she and Alastor charmed to appear and extend the inside of the house, so now there were thirteen bedrooms. She then went to the living room and smiled, seeing her family.

Irma, Piper's 11 year old, sat on the floor watching tv. She had fair skin, shoulder length blonde hair, and brown eyes. She wore a green midriff, off-the-shoulder top with puffy sleeves, a fuchsia colored faux wrap short skirt decorated with strawberries, two sets of yellow bangle bracelets on each arm, and fuchsia colored platform sandals.

Alison, Piper's 13 year old, was laying on the couch. She had fair skin long, curly light brown hair, and dark brown eyes and had to wear oval glasses to see. She wore a lime green, off-the-shoulder top trimmed with blue. On the top there is a violet flower which extends into three strands of fabric and connects to the back of the shirt. Her pants are blue, same as the trimmings on the shirt, with a lime green flower on it. She wears pink and blue/green striped sandals.

Jean, Piper's 15 year old daughter, was drawing. She had fair skin, very long, wavy, yellow-blonde hair that reaches down to her butt, and brown eyes. She wore a green and pink top and a white belt and pink shimmery ruffles on the skirt. Her shoes are pink boots with green heels. She also wears a shimmery green necklace.

Alastor was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. "Is everything ready, Piper?"

Piper smiles. "Yes. Now I just have to call my sisters and they can come." She then heads into the kitchen.
