A Charmed Bodyguard

CHAPTER ONE

Sonya's POV

I still can't believe I'm here, walking through the middle of nowhere, trying to find number 12 Grimmauld Place , the place of my next mission. I can remember it like it was yesterday (well actually it was yesterday, but that's not the point).

FLASHBACK

"What's that Piper?" I asked my aunt. She jumped, looking startled, "God, Sonya!! You're like a cat, I never hear you sneak up behind me!"

I grinned, "So, are you going to tell me what that letter said that got you so scared?"

"Who said that it got me scared?" Piper said forcefully. I stared at her until she broke down. "Here, read it yourself, it concerns you." I frowned and took the letter from her.

Dear Mrs. Halliwell,

I know you probably know the story of Harry Potter, so I will not take the time to explain it to you. The battle that took place earlier this year has left us short a few Order of the Phoenix members and we are trying desperately to replace them. Unfortunately we don't have all that much time, seeing as the longer we take the more time Voldemort has to strike back. We were wondering if one or more of you could come help us out as Harry's bodyguard. We would most appreciate it.

Sincerely, Remus Lupin

I looked up. "But what does this have to do with me?"

Piper looked at the ground then said, "We think you should be the one to protect Harry. You're much more powerful than any one of us."

"So when do I leave?" I said, ready to go right then.

"As soon as possible, you read the letter. The longer you wait, the more chance Voldemort has of getting to him while he's still unprotected."

After that I ran up to my room and stuffed all of my belongings into my trunk. Then came the tearful goodbye I had been regretting. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were crying and their husbands were hugging them. My BFF Billie was standing in the doorway a few feet away from Adam, my BF. I walked over to them and promised that I would write them and once I was settled in, they could come visit.

But the hardest part was leaving my brothers, Wyatt and Chris. I was always around whenever they needed me and I helped them and protected them. Now I was going way for who knows how long. I sighed. I was going to miss them.

"Be good for Big Sis, 'kay Wyatt, 'kay Chris?" I quickly blew a kiss to my family and orbed out, watching their faces dissolve in a million sparkly blue lights.

END OF FLASHBACK

After walking for half an hour and I was getting tired, I spotted some houses. Please let one of those be number 12 Grimmauld Place !! I remembered something Piper told me, that I might have to say some spells so I could see the house. I reached the place where it should be and then searched my mind for a good spell.

Let the object of objection return,

So its existence may be reaffirmed. I chanted.

Number 12 Grimmauld Place slowly came into view. I stepped up onto the doorstep. As I raised my hand to knock, I realized that they probably didn't know I was coming. As I wondered how they would react, the door swung open a crack. Surprised, I pushed the door open and stepped inside with my trunk.

"Hello?" I called out. I walked forward, casting my senses to see if anyone was home. The place was dark and musty and I could sense evil emitting from both the walls and the carpet. I shivered. Wasn't this place supposed to be the headquarters for good, not evil? I walked slowly down the hall, keeping my guard up for any attackers.

All of a sudden a hand flew from out of the darkness and grabbed my arm. I spun around, about to attack, then noticed the man had a wand pointed at me. I tensed, and then asked, "Are you Remus Lupin?"

Startled, he lowered his wand. "Why? Who are you?"

"You sent for me," I said, "in the letter, remember?" When Lupin looked confused, I waited a bit then stuck out my hand. "Sonya Halliwell."

"Oh, the letter!" Lupin nodded, "Halli- what??"

I was the one confused now. Then I realized, "You didn't know Iwas the one who was coming did you? You thought one of my aunts would come, didn't you?"

"Well yes. You are a witch right?" he looked at me suspiciously.

"Of course!" I laughed. "A muggle would have thought you were crazy, pointing a wand at them!"

Lupin chuckled, "Yes, I guess that is true. Well this won't do, you can't protect Harry."

Anger rose up inside me. "Of course I can!!" I demanded. "I can protect him as well as you or anyone else in the Order can! You can even test me out, see if I'm strong enough. Then if you don't think I can handle it, you can send me home. Plus," I added, "Harry would probably prefer someone his age to protect him."

"Okay," he said hesitantly. "I'll test you in the morning. You're probably tired from your trip."

"Yes, I am." I agreed.

"Follow me and I'll show you to your room. It will be next to Harry's so if there is any trouble at night, you can get there quickly-if I decide to let you stay, that is." I nodded as he led me up the stairs and down many maze-like halls. When we reached my room, Lupin opened the door, then left.

I walked inside and flipped on the light. I quickly muttered a clean-up spell and a spell to turn the walls blue and green (my favorite colors).

I climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly, dreaming about what would happen on the rest of my mission.
