8:30 pm

At the manor, Coop and Leo and the kids are still making vanquishing potions to avoid Piper's wrath. When Harry, Ginny, Phoebe, Piper, Paige and Lily materialize, Piper hollers for Leo and the group tramples into the living room. When everyone is situated, Piper breaks the news.

Piper happily says, "I found a swordsperson. Meet Harry and his wife Ginny."

Pandemonium breaks out. Everyone has questions. All of the youngsters except for Chris, especially Psyche and Pandora, want to know if Harry and Ginny have any kids because maybe they can make a new friend. The Charmed Ones' husbands want a demonstration of Harry's mastery of swordsmanship and a thorough briefing of his qualifications.

In the pandemonium, Melinda notices that Chris silently shakes hands with Harry, gives Ginny a hug and slips away to his room. Usually, Chris is suspicious of new people and interrogates them. Melinda is sure that something fishy is going on and she wants to get to the bottom of it.

After Piper whistles loudly, everyone calms down and follows Piper to the sitting room. Harry answers the youngsters' question by explaining that his godson, Teddy Lupin, has married Victoire Weasley (Bill and Fleur Weasley's daughter). Then, he says that James is a freshman at Oxford University and is training to be an auror. Albus, his second eldest son, is a sixth year student at Hogwarts and his only daughter and youngest child, Lily, is a third year at Hogwarts.

"Well, that means James will probably get along with Wyatt since he's the same age. Similarly, Lily will probably be my friend and Albus will probably be friends with Chris and Junior," Melinda summarizes.

"Oh, phooey! I don't get a new friend," Pandora whines.

"I'll be your new friend," Harry says as he crouches down to her eye-level.

"Hurray! We can play tea party," Pandora says.

"Not right now, but later," Harry says as he returns to his place on the couch and turns toward the other adults.

"To answer the second question, I guess all of you will have to attend the first lesson without Wyatt's knowledge," Harry says.

"That isn't enough for me," Leo says.

"All right, what would you like to know?" Harry asks.

"For starters, where did you get your education? Where is your certificate that satisfies your mastery of swordsmanship? Who taught you?" Leo asks with narrowed eyes.

"I got my education at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland, but I learned swordsmanship from Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. Godric charmed his sword so that when his heir touches it, the sword would take his heir back to his time for swordsmanship training. That's how I found out I was Gryffindor's heir. I also studied Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Divination (the real thing and not Trelawney's version from Rowena Ravenclaw), Ancient Runes and Defense against the Dark Arts, Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures. The Founders are dead so I can't give you a certificate, but I can call Gryffindor's sword to me," Harry explains.

Harry calls the sword and everyone admires the sword whose handle is adorned with rubies.

Piper says, "Lily, since you have seen the sword before, tell us in your expert opinion if the sword is authentic."

Harry silently hands the sword over to Lily who examines the sword and declares it to be authentic.

However, Leo isn't satisfied.

So, the Halliwells take Harry and Ginny to the attic and use the "To Call a Lost Witch" spell from the Book of Shadows to summon Godric Gryffindor. They watch Harry cut himself with a knife and chant:

Powers of the witches rise

Course unseen across the skies

Come to us who call you near

Come to us and settle here

Blood to blood, I summon thee

Blood to blood, return to me.

To the amazement of the Halliwells since they think that Harry doesn't have enough power to complete the spell, a man with black hair and emerald-green eyes appears.

The man approaches Harry, ruffles his hair and asks, "Son, why have you called me here?"

Harry replies, "I am not your son. I am your great great very great grandson."

"Yes, but Rowena and I think of you as a son" Godric says.

"All right, I give up." Harry says as he gives Godric a hug.

"So, why am I here again?" Godric asks.

"The Charmed Ones' husbands need proof of my mastery of swordsmanship. I showed them your sword as proof and they want you to confirm its authenticity." Harry explains.

"Then, give me the sword," Godric orders.

Harry hands him the sword. Godric examines the sword and says, "Yes, this is my sword."

"If that is all, then I shall take my leave. Rowena is calling me. Farewell, my son," Godric says as he disappears.

"Now that business is out of the way, I would like to meet my new student," Harry says.

Junior says, "There's a problem with that, Harry."

Harry asks, "Who are you?"

Junior says, "Henry, Jr. Paige and Henry are my adoptive parents, but I think of them as my parents and call them mom and dad."

Harry asks, "What's the problem?"

Junior replies, "Wyatt's out on a date with Alyssa. It looks like you'll have to come back tomorrow.

Piper says, "No, he won't. He and Ginny can camp out here."

Harry asks, "What do you think, Gin?"

Ginny says, "Let's stay here."

With that, Harry conjures a king-size four-poster bed in the living room.

Psyche asks, "Isn't that personal gain?"

Harry crouches down to Psyche's eye-level and says," Not in my world. I don't have to live with muggles."

Pandora asks, "What are muggles?"

Harry replies, "Non-magical people"

Pandora asks, "Henry and Junior are muggles, then?"

Harry replies, "Yes, but they know about magic. So, I don't have to hide it."

Phoebe comes over to where Harry, Psyche and Pandora are sitting, stands behind Psyche, claps her hands and says, "Pan and Psyche, it's time for bed. Quit bugging our guests."

Harry says, "That's okay."

Pandora demands that Phoebe read her a story.

Phoebe says, "I'll read you a story tomorrow night."

Harry says, "If it isn't too much trouble, I could tell her a story and tuck her into bed."

Phoebe massages her head and says, "No, it's my responsibility, but I have a killer headache. Where's the aspirin?"

Piper says, "In the kitchen. Third cabinet door on the right."

Harry says, "Well, you can go rest then. I'll take care of Pan and Psyche."

Phoebe says, "Would you? That would be great."

Then, Phoebe enters the kitchen, finds the bottle of aspirin, takes the aspirin and heads to the conservatory where Piper has already laid out a blue sleeping bag, a pillow and some bed sheets. One by one, the others go to bed. Coop joins Phoebe in the conservatory, trusting that Harry will keep his promise to tuck Pan and Psyche into bed. Paige's family sleeps in Prue's old room. Piper and Leo go to their bedroom. Melinda sleeps on a sleeping bag in Chris and Wyatt's bedroom. Lily disappears, presumably to take care of one of her charges and make her own sleeping arrangements.

So, that's how Harry ends up telling Pan and Psyche about the troll and how he, Hermione and Ron become friends. As Harry tells about getting caught by the professors and Hermione making up that story about her being curious about the troll, Pan and Psyche drift off to sleep. So, he takes carries Pan and piggybacks Psyche to the conservatory, places them between their parents and pulls the blankets over them. Then, he returns to the living room where Ginny is patiently waiting for him.

Ginny says, "That was very sweet of you. I remember you doing that for our Lily."

Harry says, "Well, she's all grown up now, but I can't help remembering how she was at Pan's age. She used to make us read Cinderella to her over and over again. She never got tired of it."

Ginny says, "I think she liked how you cackled after the evil stepmother orders Cinderella to scrub the floors."

Harry shakes his head and says, "Those were the days."

Ginny sighs and says, "I agree."

Then, she adds, "Good night, Harry," and yawns.

Harry chuckles at Ginny's yawn. He turns off the light in the living room and says, "Goodnight, Gin."

2:00 am

In the middle of the night, Harry wakes up to the sound of soft footfalls. Thinking there is an intruder in the house; Harry wandlessly stuns the assailant and uses Lumos to discover who the assailant is. The light from the Lumos spell reveals a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man. Not knowing who the intruder is, Harry summons a chair from the dining room, uses mobilocorpus to move the stunned intruder to the chair and uses the incarcerous spell to bind the intruder to the chair with ropes. Then, he unstuns the intruder.

Harry asks in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

The Intruder replies in an angry voice, "That depends on who you are."

Harry says with a bow, "Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and recent acquaintance of the Charmed Ones."

Harry asks in clipped tones, "Again, Who are you?"

Wyatt senses that this crazy person in front of him is not someone to cross. He can probably break out of his binds with a spell, but he needs more information about the crazy person in front of him.

Harry says, "Me, crazy? Ha. I haven't laughed like this in ages."

Wyatt asks, "How did you do that?"

Harry asks, "Do what?"

Wyatt replies, "Read my mind."

Harry says, "I studied Legilmency."

Wyatt asks, "What's Legilmency?"

Harry says as if he is reciting from a textbook, "Legilmency is a branch of mind magic that allows people to read other people's minds."

Harry admits, "I generally don't use it, but I do reserve the right to use Legilmency on intruders. So, again who are you?"

Wyatt sighs and says, "My name's Wyatt."

Harry asks, "What's your relation to the Charmed Ones?"

Wyatt says, "I'm Piper's son."

Harry says, "Prove it."

Wyatt pulls out a chain with the triquetra symbol on it and shows it to Harry.

Harry recognizes the symbol and says, "That just proves you're a Halliwell or someone posing as a Halliwell."

Wyatt thinks fast and blurts out, "I can tell you what Chris is thinking due to our bond."

Harry replies, "All right. Let's test your theory."

Harry summons Chris from his bed and probes his mind. Harry is amazed at the memories the Chris in front of him has of his past life and his worry about measuring up.

Harry thinks, "So, you've been pretending you don't know about that life and Wyatt knows about it. Well, you and I will have a conversation soon."

Harry turns to Wyatt and says, "Ok, intruder. Tell me what Chris is thinking."

Wyatt replies, "You are familiar to Chris. He doesn't remember your name or your history or even how he knows you. He just knows that you are familiar and that when you ask him to do something he automatically does it and he can't figure out why and that scares him."

Harry says, "You got all that from your bond? I saw the same thing in his mind. All right, you're Wyatt."

Harry returns Chris to his bed with a flick of his fingers and then turns to Wyatt.

Harry loudly whispers, "Where were you tonight, young man?"

Wyatt replies, "Out on a date."

Harry says, "You're only getting home now?"

Harry checks his watch, which has automatically updated to San Francisco time, and asks, "At 2:00 am?"

Wyatt replies, "Well, Alyssa and I went to the movies and then, I took her to P3."

Harry orders, "Well, then get a move on it. You don't want to face Piper's wrath in the morning."

As Wyatt struggles with his binds, Harry thinks, "I wonder if Piper's got anything on Mrs. Weasley."

Wyatt implores Harry, "Give me a little help here with the binds."

Harry smirks and says, "You thought you could unbind yourself, so go ahead and do it."
