Chapter 1
Hermione POV
As I walked through the invisible gate that allowed me access to the magical world I breathed in the familiar scent of steam coming from my favorite train, The Hogwarts Express. I pushed my trunk along through the crowd, dodging people as they pushed past. As I walked past my eyes wandered to the windows of the train looking at my reflection.
My bushy hair had calmed down except when it was humid it still frizzed badly but otherwise it would just fall down in neat waves to the small of my back. I don't know why but over the summer my hair started growing extremely fast, not that I was complaining though. I had also filled out and grown but thankfully I didn't look that different.
My clothing choices had changed though after Ginny decided to teach Luna and me about the wonderful world of fashion and make-up during the summer. We communicated through owls and to begin with I really didn't want to know about fashion but I'm always up for a challenge. I was now wearing a denim skirt that ended half way down my thighs, black knee high velvet boots, a white tube top and black vest.
I boarded the train and found an empty compartment quickly, see arriving a little early did have its quirks. I managed to shove my trunk up into one of the shelves after pulling out my favorite book to pass the time, Hogwarts: A History.
I don't know how long I was reading because of how engrossed I was in my book but I was suddenly broken out of my happy place when I heard the compartment door open sharply.
"Ginny shut up I don't care if you think your bum is too big," said a familiar and annoyed voice. I looked up and saw a red faced Ron looking at his sister who was struggling not to laugh.
"Relax Ron it was a joke," she laughed. Hmm I wonder when they are going to notice me or maybe they won't.
"Guys cool it and just get inside the compartment," Harry said from behind the two.
"Yes it's the only empty one left," an airy voice said that was slightly familiar.
"Has anyone seen Hermione?" Ginny asked turning back to look at the others. You can't be serious can you? I mean I'm right here.
"Uh she would be right here," I said and waved my hand. They all turned to look at me and their jaws dropped and then Ginny's face broke out into pre-squeal mode.
"Oh my god you took my advice and oh my god you look great!" she squealed and bounded over to me. She gathered me in a bear hug much like her mothers.
I pulled back and noticed that she had definitely grown and was now standing eye level with me with her now auburn colored hair cascading halfway down her back, layered with light golden streaks. She wore an emerald green, off the shoulder, fitting shirt with a pair of white cargo short shorts and knee length white strappy heels.
"Ok Ginny I do need to breath," I choked out. She let go and I saw Luna Lovegood standing beside her and just by looking at her I knew she had taken on Ginny's advice as well. She had her hair cut to her shoulders, layered and with a side fringe that made her face look almost angelic and wore a sapphire blue tank top, a black mini skirt with black strappy heels.
I got up and embraced her too and noticed Harry and Ron still standing outside the compartment with their jaws still on the ground. I rolled my eyes and walked up to them and was about to pull them inside when I heard the voice of a snake.
"Well, well, well what do we have here? Potter and Weasel what happened? Did you see a ghost?" Malfoy said arrogantly. This shook Harry and Ron from their shock and we all turned to glare at the intruder.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Ron asked angrily.
"What else would he want Ronald other than to make our lives a living hell?" I spat out. Harry and Ron who were blocking us girls from view were roughly shoved aside and there in the flesh was our own personal tormentor. He eyed Ginny and Luna up for a minute and then I saw his eyes drift over to me looking me up and down like I was a piece of meat.
"Do you mind I don't like having your dirty eyes looking over me," I said angrily causing his eyes to snap up and meet my glare with his own.
"Why not it's not like you could get any dirtier mudblood," he spat. My anger control was about ready to snap as I grinded my teeth together in fury.
"Get out," I muttered.
"Sorry what was that mudblood I couldn't hear you," he said mockingly holding his hand up to his ear. Nobody else dared to move or speak as my hands balled into fists and started shaking. He was now repeating that awful word and I squeezed my eyes shut. Okay, okay focus I need to control myself.
"Pft, even with your new look your still a dirty. Stinking. Little. Mudblood slut," he sneered. I felt my control snap and then the wind picked up drastically and my eyes opened dangerously.
"Get. Out," I said again.
"No," he replied smugly knowing he had gotten to me.
"GET OUT!" I screamed and sharply lifted my left hand out to him as if I was throwing him away and just as I did that he was sent flying out of our compartment and smashing into the one across from here.
There was a loud crash and shatter as his body hit and flew through the glass door of the adjacent compartment. My mind immediately cleared and I dropped my hand in shock and so did my face.
"Oops," I squeaked and ran over to close the door and locked it. I turned around and saw the proud and shocked looks on everyone's faces.
"Sorry," I said and cringed as I heard Malfoy's cursing from outside and then the heavy fading footsteps. Ginny squealed and ran over to me giving me another hug but that caused us both to fall over sideways as the train started to move and depart from the platform.
"Nice one Hermione," Ginny praised as we got up from the floor. I grinned widely and proudly as a warm sensation flowed through me. I just kicked Draco Malfoy's ass am I good or what. The rest of the train ride went by without any problems or mishaps and soon enough we had arrived at one of my favorite places in the world, Hogwarts.
It was raining hard when we got there and the thunder and lightning weren't helping the first years or Hagrid trying to get the attention of the first years. Luna, Ginny and I decided to take a carriage separate from Harry and Ron to have some girl time.
"I am so happy that you guys took my advice, we look so hot although these robes do nothing for the figure," Ginny gushed and grumbled.
"Yeah but I still prefer my books sorry Gin," Hermione replied.
"How did you manage to buy everything?" Luna asked.
"Fred and George gave me some money from their joke shop as payment for the birthdays and Christmas's they missed," Ginny grinned.
"Anyway, do either of you guys know what happened to me back on the train?" Hermione asked.
"You don't know?" replied Ginny.
"You anger took control of your magic," Luna said dreamily.
"But it hasn't done that before," Hermione said frowning.
"Who cares Hermione you kicked Malfoy's ass," Ginny replied shrugging. Hermione took a deep breath and nodded looking up at the castle that was getting closer. They spent the rest of the ride chatting about just about everything and discovered that Luna had a crush on Ron. They laughed as they stepped out of the carriage and noticed that theirs was the last one to arrive. Students pilled out of the carriages before them and flooded into the castle and the rain and lightning had stopped. Just as they were about to follow the students into the castle something caught Hermione's eye.
"Hey what's that?" she asked and pointed to a statue in the middle of the castle grounds. It was made of pure stone and at the height of the girl's faces was a mirror. It had a gold frame and around the edge the words Seno Demrahc Eht.
"What do you suppose it means?" Luna asked.
"I-I'm not sure I haven't come across a language like it before," Hermione answered.
"Yeah same," said Ginny.
They approached the statue and looked back at the students.
"Can't they see it or have we just not noticed this thing for years?" Ginny asked.
"They can't see it, it is meant for us and us alone," Luna said. Hermione looked at her reflection in the mirror before gasping loudly catching the other two girl's attention. Hermione's reflection smiled before waving and vanishing and words appeared.
We three sisters who came together as the darkness approached
Each holding one of the three powers of the ancient magic
Time
Seeing and
Projection
Defeated the Source of all Evil, the one who would bring destruction to this world
As we three sisters come together once more
We shall be known as the three most powerful witches ever known
We will once again defeat this evil as it is reborn into the heir of a snake
And we shall be called The Charmed Ones once more.
"What does that mean?" asked Ginny.
"I don't know," Hermione replied and then as if in a trance lifted her hands up to the mirror and grasped the sides of it.
"Wait!" Luna and Ginny exclaimed before grabbing each of Hermione's hands but they were too late. Everything happened at once and they were sure that even people across the world would have been able to feel the waves of power being emitted.
Multiple scenes flashed through their minds showing three girls from around the 1600's mixing potions and fighting demons. Each one of them resembled the three linked girls but hand small differences such as they looked to be around 25 years old, had different haircuts, eye colours and clothes. Their eyes were piercing and each was a different color one had blue the other green and the last had gold.
More scenes showed the girls using each of their powers although they couldn't quite tell who had which one but they knew that one could see through time and levitate herself and other things. One could move things with her mind, teleport and use astral projection and the last one could freeze time, move time and make things explode.
While this was happening in the girl's minds on the outside something beautiful was happening. Surrounding the girls' bodies were columns of blue, green and gold light weaving and wrapping around each other. The wind picked up and was sending each of the girl's hair flying in all directions and their cloaks flying across the school grounds.
This lasted for about a minute before everything died down and the girl's came back to reality. They looked at the statue only to find it encased in white light and shifting forms. Hermione still had a hold of it and couldn't find herself to let go. A mere second later the statue disappeared and left a bulky, old book lying in Hermione's hands.
The book was green and looked very old and on the front right in the middle was the triquetra symbol. The pages looked old but the book was definitely sturdy.
Ginny and Luna let go of Hermione's hands and looked over her shoulder as she opened the book to the first page. The page, like all the rest, was yellow with old age, dusty and the words could barely be seen. Hermione looked around and saw a smooth and flat boulder over near the forest and made her way to sit on it with her friends following. She lifted her wand and said an anti-dust spell.
"It's called the Book of Shadows," said Luna looking at the first page and watched as Hermione flipped to the next page.
"Hermione what does it say?" asked Ginny as she sat on the boulder next to Hermione while Luna sat on the other side.
"It says:
Hear now the words of the witches,
The secrets we hid in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked here,
The great work of magic is sought.
In this night and in this hour,
I call upon the ancient powers.
Bring your power to we sisters three,
We want the power so shall it be," she finished. They didn't notice the full moon suddenly turn blue and shine down upon them or that the ground shook a little and when they looked up from to book to each other it stopped.
"It...sounds like...a spell," said Luna and Hermione nodded in agreement.
"But that's like a whole verse aren't spells just like one word or two?" Ginny said skeptically.
"Well actually spells used to be only cast in verses in the ancient times and then over time people changed them to only a couple of words," Hermione explained. Ginny's mouth formed an 'O' before she looked back at the castle.
"Guys we have been out here for ages I wouldn't be surprised if the sorting is over. Oh man we are so late," she panicked. Hermione, who had grabbed a bag so she could bring her other book with her, put the Book of Shadows in it and grabbed her friends hands running towards the building dragging them along.
They were out of breath when they arrived at the castle doors and Hermione's hair was slightly frizzy. She wondered how her and the others didn't break their ankles in the heels.
"This stays between us right?" asked Ginny as they stood outside the Great Hall doors.
"Yeah it will be," Hermione started with a grin.
"Our little secret," Luna finished with the same grin on her face. They all grinned and opened the doors to the Great Hall and entered.
