"Destiny Makes its Way Through"
CHAPTER 1 : Blush and Impress if Your Want To
The sun rose. The young man decided to take a walk through the park. Leo couldn't understand why most kids like him a lot. He knew he had done nothing special, but it just appeared to him that he was something most kids would love to be. A whitelighter. Most of them thought that young whitelighters such as he, were so cool because they could just orb to wherever they want to go to, and he never thought that it would be this tough. Yes, he was happy to be away from home just once, very free to use magic whenever he wanted to, but this was different. In Hogwarts, kids study weird and very dark magic. They even use it for personal gain. But there was this girl he always thought about. Piper Halliwell, a girl in the fifth year like him. She was a Charmed One, and she was damn beautiful. The clear face, the nice, soft, brown hair.. It just made him so, so...
"Hey!" Piper screamed halfway through the garden. She was running towards Leo, and she really liked him. He wasn't a guy who was like the others. He was very friendly, and sometimes she thought that he had something called a "healing touch".
"Oh, hi." replied Leo. He sounded more cheered up as he saw those beautiful eyes again that day.
"Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be at the great hall today? You know, for the great announcement." Piper said. She knew almost everything about Leo. About him, dying as a kid at World War 2. Saving a man's life at his strike of death. EVERYTHING! But this time, the elders made Leo like a normal kid. Someone that ages, so that no one will be ever suspicious.
"I know, but it isn't even 8:00 a.m. Well, you reminded me c'mon let's go!" Then all of a sudden he blushed. Something wasn't right. Piper Halliwell was holding his hand. He could feel her finger joints pushing his. She was practically dragging him back to the school building, but he didn't care.
"Hey, mind hurrying up?" Piper laughed hard. Leo didn't get the funny thing but, he just laughed for the sake of laughing.
AT THE GREAT HALL
"Hey Leo, hurry up!" James Potter screamed from across the room. He was the only "true but not those screaming fans" kind of friend that Leo had other than Piper, her sisters and Piper's best friends.(that includes Phoebe's besties, and Paige's too). He had this great sense of humor, and of course he knew that Piper had a crush on James. He was cute yeah, but sometimes his attitude kinda gets out of hand.
"All right. Bye Piper! See you!" Leo said to Piper letting go her hand. Piper blushed then she left. Then he knew that Piper had a crush on him somehow.
"Yo James! What were you staring at?" Leo asks.
"Those red cheeks of yours and that sweaty hand. Oh! And Piper's red cheeks and her shy act." James exclaimed. "Ring any bells?"
"Oh. Don't talk about it now." Leo replies.
"ATTENTION!" Albus Dumbledore said in his very hard hoarse voice. He was the head of the school. He was powerful, but somewhat kind.
"Hey Piper! I saw something I wasn't supposed to see." Phoebe said as she crept up behind Piper. Phoebe was always late for morning announcements, but it was kind of unusual that Phoebe was up early. (by the way, Phoebe's in her third year)
"Phoebe, what did you –"
"Ms. Halliwell, you know better than to talk during morning announcements do you?" Professor McGonagall whispered to Piper. She was the headmistress of the Gryffindor House, where Piper, Phoebe and Paige stayed.
"Sorry Professor." Piper replied.
"We are going to have a banquet two weeks later and we have some guests for our Magical Triathlon." Professor Dumbledore bellowed.
"I sure do wonder if I'm going to meet any cute guys!" Paige squealed right after Professor made his announcement.
"Paige, you are such a romantic!" Lily Telesco said to Paige. Lily was Paige's best friend. This year was Lily's seventh year in Hogwarts, and this was Paige's second year.
"So guys, have you ever thought about joining the triathlon?" Phoebe asks her pals. Marge, Peter, Piper, Paige and Lily were her great friends. They always hung out, and they were total fun. Although Leo was her great friend too, but he usually hung out with James.
"You know what, only fifth till seventh years are allowed to join" Marge said. She was in fifth year with Piper. She has blonde hair and sparkling eyes. She wore glasses that looked so classy.
"That's unfair. But hey, Piper can still join. Marge's already in the sports committee."
"No! Nuh-uh! Never!" Piper said.
"Why not? I mean you're smart, you're good with magic, and plus you are so flexible and very gorgeous!" Paige added.
"Hey, I think it's a great idea!" Leo blurted out in the middle of a talk.
"Well, if you guys say so, then fine, I'll join." Piper said. She has a crush on Leo, and she always wanted to make an impression on him.
