-1Dreams Are Won

Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!!!

Crossover between Charmed, Harry Potter, and Gilmore Girls

San Francisco

Paige awoke with a deafening pain deep within her chest that exceeded to the core of her soul. The memory of her dream displayed beneath her eyes so vivid that all she could do was watch it again with a horror she didn't think was possible to feel. Her son, that she has recreated a past for herself in order to protect him, was in danger, serious danger. Death eaters were swirling all around him and he fought them with a majestic speed and power that made her feel proud but still scared for his safety. The then dream shifted abruptly and she saw Hagrid holding Harry's lifeless body shielded, hidden, by the invisible cloak. Lifeless because there was no movement and her motherly instinct just knew. She met Hagrid's eyes in the dream and screamed a deafening anguished NO.

Sweat poured down Paige's body as she got up and headed downstairs to Phoebe, Piper, Henry, Coop, and Leo. She had to tell them the truth and show them what she really looked like. All she could do was hope that Henry loved her still after she revealed the shocking news to him and she also hoped that her sisters forgave her for not telling them something so important. The conversations quickly stopped when they saw the panicked look that still resided in Paige's eyes.

Panic swept through the room as the sisters looked at Paige and wondered what was up. Henry got up and went over to his wife. He put his arm around her and tried to console her but to no avail. Her shoulders were shaking from silent sobs.

"Paige, what is it?" Henry asked gently as he tried to comfort her. He looked at Phoebe, Piper and Coop and mouthed 'help'. They shrugged their shoulders with no unearthly clue what was wrong. They won the battle against the Triad and Leo was home and Chris and Wyatt were safe and sound with them so what was so wrong, was the question that was filtering in and out of everyone's minds as they waited for Paige to explain.

Paige began explaining as she uncast the spell she had upon herself. Her looks began to change into someone different but still Paige. The difference now was that she had green eyes instead of brown and she had light brown hair instead of jet black and her skin was a little tanner but not much, other than that she was the same. "My full name is Paige Lily Hallowell Potter. I am actually the first born, as in older than Prue. No one knew about me because I married James Potter and we were running from Voldemort because Pettigrue had betrayed us. When James was killed I made it look like Voldemort had killed me as well and cast a protective charm around my son, Harry. Voldemort tired a killing curse on Harry but it failed because of my charm and Harry ended up with a zigzag scar on his forehead. He is known as the boy who lived because he is the only one to have lived other than me from a killing curse. I lived because Grams and Mom helped me live. The Charmed ones powers helped. I took Harry to Dumbledore and then went into hiding. I recreated myself and myself younger and sort of different and definitely changed my eyes. It was apparent that my eyes were not green because it is known that Harry had his mother's eyes. I could not take the risk of revealing I was alive because it would uplift the charm I had on him. I became Paige Matthews and mom and dad conducted the story that they didn't meet or fall in love until after she and Victor had been estranged. I went to live with my family whom were to become my only family until they died in a car crash and I survived and then I found you. I erased those memories only to have them brought back when magic was returned to me." She looked at Henry with tears streaming down her cheeks silently imploring him to not hate her.

"I know." Henry said in a whisper. Paige looked at him confounded with that statement. "How?" "You told me when you were asleep right after we first got married. You were dreaming of Voldemort and you told me everything. I awoke when I heard you screaming and I asked you questions thinking you might wake up but you didn't and you just answered me on every question with no questions asked from you."

Paige looked at him with an gaping mouth that proved she was so astonished that she was beyond words. "And you're still here? E-even though I'm not completely who you married?" She whispered as she anticipated his answer.

Henry answered her by kissing her soundly on the lips until she was breathless but happy from the gesture. "That means that yes I still love you and I'm confused but when I married you I married Paige Matthews Halliwell so that would include Paige Lily Halliwell Potter as well." He grinned at her. "I just hope Harry will like me." That statement caused Paige's face to become pained which caused Henry and the others to immediately know something was amiss.

Hogwarts world

Harry knew the time would come for him to face Voldemort and he knew exactly how to do it. He knew what the greatest power of all would be for him to use against the powerful dark lord even if the dark lord rebuked him for it. That power would be the love his mother and father held for him and he held that in the highest respect that could ever be possible.

Mysterious place

Two people knew something was about to happen. They hadn't been able to get a hold of their friend for thirteen years. They still kept up to date with the magical world, however. They knew they would be useful for something one day even if their bad-talking daughter, at least towards them, thought they were nuts for believing in a world that held supernatural and paranormal powers and beings.

The woman turned towards her husband with tears filling her eyes as she looked at a picture of a baby on a broomstick, and the broomstick was actually zooming around in the picture like in 3D. "It's been so long since we heard anything from them, Richard." Her husband put his arms comforting her the best he could. He was just as worried. No one, not even their daughter nor granddaughter knew of their connectedness to the magical world. "Lily is fine. Harry to. One day we will see them again. James was our son and Lily and Harry have to have survived even though James didn't." Tears pricked his eyelids as he said that last sentence but he refused to shed them.
