Series - Hogwarts and Halliwells
Title – My Parents, The Whitelighters
Summary: Harry gets a vision of 3 witches who can help him see his parents again, but what will happen when the witches turn out to be the Charmed Ones? AU. Harry Potter Charmed Xover.
Disclaimer: I don't own Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Sirius, Remus, James or Lily (Wow, long list! And these are just the main ones, there are some minor ones I don't own too. Wow, who knew that I could ramble in a disclaimer! Lol!), so please don't sue me! I own the plot and anything else you don't recognise, which isn't a lot.
Other information: This is set near the beginning of Season 7 for Charmed and at the beginning of the summer before Harry's last year at Hogwarts (So he has just come back from his sixth year). Leo isn't an Elder (yet), so he didn't kill Zola. He and Piper are having minor troubles though. Time in Elderland runs the same as on Earth because I can't work it out otherwise. Fudge is still the Minister of Magic. Sirius is still not free but Remus is Harry's guardian and both live at Grimmauld Place. And also just so everyone (Meaning me as well, lol!) doesn't get confused, Harry was born in 1989 so I am writing for the present year (which is currently 2006). And 16 is now the cut-off age for underage magic, just so Harry can use it outside Hogwarts (more fun that way), and also apparation. And Remus is an Animagus, a wolf (obvious choice but it is Moony) but will not be mentioned yet, just a fact.
Ok I think I got everything out of the way, ON WITH THE STORY!
Welcome, one and all, to the wondrous world of Hogwarts and Halliwells. I hope you enjoy this chapter and the many more that will follow it. I don't care if no one ever reviews… wait, I do care! Well, no matter what happens, I will update this story none the less. Enjoy the story!
Chapter 1: Harry's Dream and Idea
Harry's Dream/Vision…
Harry looked around his dream. It wasn't like any of his other dreams, this one had a sense of calmness compared to the others. He could see two women around a small cauldron, giving Harry the idea that they were witches. Plus his visions weren't usually as clear as this; it was always more of feeling, not seeing. But this one was different. He watched them as they placed 5 candles, lighting them as they put them down, in a circle and his eyes widened when they started to chant a spell. Why were they not using wands? And not using Latin words? He didn't know that spell could be done in English. Ron had tried one in when they first met but it hadn't worked. He listened to the spell. He caught the last bit which said 'I summon thee, cross now the great divide'. In a swirl of white lights, a woman appeared. It wouldn't have shocked Harry so much but this woman looked like a ghost. But not like the Hogwarts ghosts. The woman started to talk so Harry did what anyone would have done – and what he usually did in these visions – and listened to the conversation taking place in front of him.
"Hello, my darlings." The woman who had just appeared greeted them. She stepped out of the circle and became solid, which was quite strange.
"Hey Grams." The woman with shortish brown hair said as she gave the woman a hug.
"Hi Grams." A woman holding a baby hugged her next.
"Hello Phoebe, Piper, how is Chris and Wyatt doing? And Leo too?"
"They're fine, but Leo has been a little distant since big Chris..." The one called Piper looked away as a tear fell down her cheek. "Sometimes I think that being a Charmed One is a curse more than a blessing."
"Listen Piper, what happened to Chris was not Leo's fault, no matter what he says. And anyway, he's in your arms now so he didn't really go away did he?" The other woman said.
Piper smiled as a figure appeared in blue white orb things. "Hey guys. Grams, I didn't know Piper and Phoebe were summoning you." She walked over to the woman and hugged her. "Why did they summon you?"
"Hello Paige and I don't why I'm here. Phoebe? Piper?"
"Piper just needed some guidance. And since there aren't many people living that would understand what she went through, we decided to ask the dead."
Harry perked up when she mentioned this and his brain went into overdrive. If the woman was dead, and these women could still talk to her, then, maybe just maybe, they could help him see his parents. It was a long shot, but if he could find them, they might be able to help him. He was suddenly pulled out of the dream and he sat up suddenly in bed, his breathing slightly unsteady. He realized that he was at Sirius' house, Grimmauld Place. He had been living there since Remus had become his official guardian the previous summer holiday. He ran a hand through his messy black hair and put his glasses on. He needed help with this and the perfect people for the job were Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his two best friends. 'Lucky Hermione is staying at the Weasley's.' He thought. He got up and started to write a note to them saying to floo over as soon as they got it. Hedwig was usually quite fast so Harry thought it should get there within 2 hours. He attached it to Hedwig's leg, who hooted and took of out the open window.
A few hours later…
Once Harry had sneaked Ron and Hermione into his room, he started to tell them why he wanted them there.
"I'm going to see my mum and dad and I want you to come with me." He said bluntly.
"Harry, you're parents are, well, dead. You can't see them." Hermione told him, sympathetically.
"I know, but last night I had a vision. And it wasn't of Voldemort this time. There were these three women who summoned a dead person. If I can find them, then I can summon my parents and I can finally get to talk to them." Ron and Hermione both looked shocked.
"Where exactly are we talking about anyway?" Ron said, still looking shocked.
"America. Somewhere. I don't exactly know where." Harry admitted. He suddenly remembered a detail from his dream. "Wait, one of them said about being a Charmed One and I'm pretty sure they were American. Know who they are?" He asked both his friends, but mainly Hermione for the reason that she always had her head in a book.
Hermione nodded. "The Charmed Ones. I've read about them. They are the most powerful witches in the world and can perform wandless magic. They live in San Francisco, at least I think they do. They did when Witches and Wizards of the World was published. Their last name is Halliwell."
"Blimey, Hermione, how do you remember all of that?" Ron asked and the reply he got was a pillow in the face. "Hey!"
"You kinda deserved it Ron." Harry said, holding back a laugh. "So we need to floo there so we can get them to summon my parents. I hope they have a fireplace." He looked at both of his friends. "Are you with me?"
"Always, mate." Ron said, grinning.
Hermione saw that this was really important to Harry, so going against her better judgment, she also agreed. They started planning how to get there unknown.
Meanwhile, up 'there'…
"James, do you think that it will work?" Lily Potter asked her husband.
I don't know. Leo said that the Elders might block it. But if he succeeds, we can finally see him in person." James held Lily in his arms. "We'll find out soon though, Lils."
"Don't worry; you will soon be with your family and friends again. Unfortunately, I still have to wait about 5 months." Another voice said.
"Sorry, didn't mean to get you down. You'll be down there too, soon enough." Lily said to the person, who nodded and walked away from them to find the family they had up 'here'.
Back in Harry's room…
"So I tell Sirius and Remus I'm going to the Weasley's and you tell you're mum that the two of you are coming here. Agreed?" The other two nodded. "Now, we need to get you to the fireplace and floo you back home. Remember to bring floo powder, enough for two trips at least in case we can't find them." Harry told Ron. They walked out of his room and while Harry distracted his guardians in the kitchens, Ron and Hermione flooed back to a waiting Fred and George who had covered for them.
The first chapter of many, how do you like it? And ooh, Lily and James have been watching him all this time, will they Potters ever be reunited or will Harry suffer even more (Although the Dursleys will never be a part of my story. Who wants to find out what's next? Then review!
