Chapter 1: The Letter
Phoebe's POVI awoke the morning of my eleventh birthday with a slight breeze blowing on my face. I threw the covers off and got out of bed. I stretched quickly and looked around, spotting two things out of place. The first thing out of place was the window. It had been opened, and I knew it was not opened when I went to bed. The second, a letter that lay on the bottom of my bed, half covered by the unity blankets. I walked to the end o my bed and picked up the letter, looking at the front. It had my name and address on it, but no return address and no stamp, and I was left bewildered as to how it had come to reside on my bed. I turned the letter over and saw that it had been sealed by an old fashioned melted wax seal. Before I could study the seal, I felt a very cold breeze, and a shiver ran throughout my body. I dropped the forgotten letter back onto the bottom of the bed and walked over to the window, closing it when I reached it. I quickly changed, smiling, my eleventh birthday remembered and the strange letter forgotten.
I practically ran downstairs, once I had changed nearly running head first into Grams. "Slow down, where's the fire," she said smiling. I continued on and stopped only after I had reached the living room, and my two sisters. They where talking and giggling with each other when I walked in and smiled. We all shared a birthday, although Piper was now thirteen and Prue was now fifteen. I went over and plopped down onto the couch next to Prue while Grams came in and looked on at us.
"My three darling grandchildren," she said smiling wide. "Happy Birthday, may all your wishes come true."
We told each other Happy Birthday and then looked back at Grams.
"So, Grams, what'd ya get us?" I asked with no emotion, causing everyone to burst out laughing. I always loved this day, all our arguments where put behind us and it seemed like nothing ever went wrong.
We all laughed for a bit longer and then Grams excused herself. When she finally returned she had some presents in her arms. We all smiled wide and Grams passed our presents out to us. Once we each had our presents we tore off the wrapping in near perfect unison. When I had taken a good look at my present I screamed slightly in joy. I had gotten exactly what I had wanted. I looked over at Piper and Prue and saw huge smiles plastered on here faces. All three of us rushed up to Grams, hugging her and thanking her in unison. This was the first year all three of us had received exactly what we had wanted. It had never happened before because of what we had each wanted. It never made us love Grams any less, only more, because we knew how lucky we where to have her, after loosing both our mother and father. We all broke apart and went ahead with the Saturday as usual until it was time for our combined birthday party.
At the party we all had a good time, each of us having quit a large turnout of friends, although Piper seemed to have the most. Prue seemed to have the least amount of fun, seeming to take to watching over things a lot of the time, when her friends didn't force her to have fun. We had had dancing and some games for each age group. It was a blast, and I didn't want to leave when it was finally over, but I knew that I would have to.
After the party was over we all went home, smiles plastered on our faces and joy obvious in our every movement. When we went inside Piper, Prue, and Grams went into the living room to watch TV, and I went upstairs to my room. I was really tired and was just going to go to bed, but when I had changed into pajamas and reached my bed, I saw, and remembered, the odd looking letter. I picked it up off my bed and examined it quickly for a second time. I flipped it over and tore the melted wax seal. I pulled out the papers that the envelope housed and unfolded them. Once was quit small but I instantly knew that it was a bus ticket of some kind, although I didn't read any of the details on the ticket. The second paper I looked at I just quickly scanned. It was a list of odd school supplies. I set it aside with the ticket to look at the last piece of paper thinking, and hoping that it would explain everything, and maybe say that this was just some joke thought up by my family. I started reading what I found out was a letter out loud.
"Dear Miss. Phoebe Halliwell,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
I halted my reading and stared at it. "This has got to be a joke," I muttered. I read the rest of the letter and was nearly convinced that this was all just some joke thought up by my sister, and possibly Grams. I grabbed the other two papers and headed downstairs to ask Grams about the meaning of them. When I got downstairs I found her in the kitchen.
"Grams," I said when I entered and plopped down in a chair.
"Yes, Peebs, what is it?" she answered when she saw it was me. She set down what she was doing and sat down next to me.
"This was in my room. I was wondering if it was a joke you knew about or something," I said handing the papers over.
She took the papers from me and looked them over. By the time she was done I was afraid that she was about to explode. She got herself under control, and excused herself, telling me not to say a word about the papers to Piper or Prue. I shrugged slightly and got up, heading into the living room to watch TV with Prue and Piper, while Grams went off somewhere upstairs.
Gram's POV"Phoebe received these letter today," I said exasperatedly. I held up the Hogwarts letter to Penny, who was standing in her ghostly in front of me. "I don't want her going Patty. I thought we where through with all this nonsense after Prue luckily turned the acceptance down, and when Piper did not receive one. I thought they had just realized that we didn't want anything to do with them. I do not want any of them ending up like Victor's brother."
"Mom, calm down. They won't end up like him. Maybe Phoebe won't want to go, like Prue didn't want to," Patty said calmly.
"She wants to go Patty, I can see it in her eyes, even though she doesn't even know if this school is real or…"
"Then let her go. If she wants to, let her. She'll be safe at Hogwarts, and you'll be with her when she's not there," Patty said interrupting me.
"All right, it's your decision, you are her mother, although I disagree with you on this subject, I will let her go," I said sighing heavily.
"And don't' worry, the girls will be fine," Patty added confidently.
"If you say so Patty, but I know no more about them, than they know about us."
Phoebe's POVI was watching TV with Prue, Piper had gone up to bed, when Grams came in looking slightly defeated and I didn't know why. The expression confused me, but instantly I asked what the verdict was.
"So, can I go?" I asked excitedly.
"Yes, you can go. You'll be going shopping for your school supplies next weekend, someone will pick you up, I'll just give you the money you'll need."
"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you," I said getting up and giving her a huge hug. Before anyone could say anything else I went straight upstairs, after Grams said your welcome that is, and went straight to bed.
Penny's POV"Let her go where?" Prue asked turning from where Phoebe had been sitting to where I was standing.
"Hogwarts," I answered sighing slightly.
"How could you let her go Grams?" Prue said blankly and quietly.
I sighed again and looked over at Prue. "There's nothing I can do to stop her, she's going."
"But Grams, there has to be something, anything…" Prue started trailing off.
"There's nothing," I said and left before Prue could say anything else.
A/N: There you go, first chapter rewritten. I'm just going to take down the other chapters for now till they get rewritten, because I have changed the story slightly.
