Chapter 7: Seeking the Clues

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Charmed, Harry Potter or any of the Characters you recognize. I only own my twisted plot. Thank you and now have a great day.

In a review I received from shadow lupus, asking for the ages of the Charmed children. Now please understand, my sister who is supposed to be helping me with the Charmed timeline of this fic, is sick and tired of Harry Potter … I know shocking … anyway I know not all the ages coincide with the show, but they work for my fic. Please no flames for the ages of the Charmed kids. All the age calculations are based off of Jack's, Wyatt's, and Stephen's ages from the first chapter and the fact that the following chapters center on Harry's 5th year at Hogwarts. Also, I don't like Daniel Radcliff's (Harry) short haircut in the movies, but I like Gary Oldmans' (Sirius) haircut in movie five, so imagine the Harry in my story to have hair somewhere in between those two styles. Harry's hair is about chin length.

... I feel so stupid now. I got a review from SilverLight05 the said I used Jack instead of Stephen in one part of te other chapter. I really feel stupid noiw. I must have had a huge brain fart ... here is the fixed chapter.

Chapter 1

Wyatt 8 years old, Chris 7 years old, Melinda 5 years old, Prudence 7 years old, Taia 4 years old, Stephen 6 years old, Elizabeth 2 years old, Jack (Harry) 6 months old.

Chapters 2 – Chapter 7 so far

Wyatt 24 years old, Chris 23 years old, Melinda 21 years old, Prudence 23 years old, Taia 20 years old, Stephen 22 years old, Elizabeth 18 years old, Jack (Harry) 15 ½ years old


Billie had set up her scrying system and she was waiting for Paige to come over and provide something for her to anchor to. While she was waiting Billie was looking around at the scrambling family. Wyatt, Chris and Stephen were pulling candles and the tables into their positions they would need to be in. Melinda, Prudence, Taia and Elizabeth were grabbing all the chalk they could find that might be useful in the finding of their wayward cousin/brother. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were digging through boxes of items trying to find an anchor that Billie could use. Leo, Cupe and Jeremy were trying to keep the children from running into each other.

Billie smiled this was the chaos that she was used to. A low beeping reached Billie's ear, spinning around Billie was surprised to see that her system was tracking without any prompting from her or The Charmed Ones. "Um, Guys?" Billie turned to look at the frantic family to find them frozen staring at the computer screen, all with pale faces.

In Bucklands, Harry was trying to get the receptionist to give him any information. "Sir, I really need to know who you are here to see. Otherwise I can't give you any information about the building." "Ma'am. I understand that … fine, could you please tell me who your current curator is. I need to speak to him or her." The receptionist sighed. "Our current curator is Miss Kendra Holt." Harry looked at the receptionist before saying "I would like to speak with Miss Kendra Holt. Please, where can I find her?" The receptionist looked at him a little wary. "Miss Holt is on the 5th floor on the right hand side through the 3rd door." "Thank you." Said Harry as he turned around towards the elevators. Harry went up the elevators wondering what he would say to this Kendra Holt person. On the ride up the elevator, Harry grabbed his notebook out of his bag and visualized the triquetra symbol to show Miss Holt. At the 5th floor Harry sighed heavily and stepped out onto a nice carpet.

As Harry walked down the hallway he counted the doors. At the third door Harry knocked. "Come In." came a female voice from inside. Harry pushed open the doors and looked in on the nicely furnished office. There were art books and binders of all colors lining the walls. A middle aged blonde haired woman was sitting behind the desk staring at him. "May I help you sir?" "Yes, My name is Harry Potter. I was wondering if you can give me any information about a symbol. I have some knowledge of it from a friend, but I don't know much about it." Harry handed the notebook paper to Miss Holt, who stared at it before saying "Mr. Potter, please excuse me, I have to go consult a friend of mine. I need to make a phone call. I will only be a moment." Harry nodded and started looking around the room as Miss Holt grabbed the paper and walked to the door.

Back at the Halliwell Manor Paige came out of her stupor long enough to grab Melinda and orb to Hogwarts to start finding this Hermione Granger. While Phoebe started to help the others gather the ghost summoning supplies. Piper started to move towards Billie when the phone rang. "I'll get it." She said as she went into the hall and picked up the phone "Halliwell Manor, Piper speaking. … Oh, Hi Kendra! … WHAT! Keep him there. Stephen and I will be right there." Piper came back into the room saying "Stephen, grab your jacket. That was Kendra and a strange boy just came into her office with the Book's symbol on it. He claims to know somewhat about the symbol but wants more info. Lets go!" Stephen jumped up and grabbed his jacket, grabbed his Aunt Piper by the arm and orbed to Buckland's Auction House.

Harry sat at Miss Holt's desk while covertly looking around when he saw a picture of Miss Holt and a group of people. One of them looked like him, Harry. The door opened and Harry turned around, it was Miss Holt. "Miss Holt, who is this in the picture with you? She looks familiar." Miss Holt went to the picture and looked sadly at it. "This is me and my old friend Prudence Halliwell. It was her family I called. They are the foremost people in the states with this type of knowledge." Harry nodded. "How is Prudence ma'am? I would really like to meet her and her family." Miss Holt looked saddened for a little bit. "Mr. Potter. Prudence has been dead for over 24 years."

After putting the picture down, Miss Holt went and sat behind her desk, staring at Harry. "Mr. Potter, You remind me of Prudence. She was very inquisitive. Mr. Potter, would you please tell me why you have come all the way from Britain to find out this information? Why not just email or call? Why fly all the way here to just talk with me and my friends?" Harry chuckled. "It was nothing really. It just took a second and I was here. It was no trouble really. To answer your first question, I feel that talking face to face is better then hiding behind smoke and mirrors. Don't you Miss Holt?"

A voice from the door broke their staring contest. "That was Prue's idea too." Miss Holt looked up to the door. "Hi there Piper. I see you brought Stephen with you." Harry stiffened slightly as he turned around. At the door were a woman in her mid to late 40's and the boy who Harry had seen in the mirror in that weird house. Standing up he said "Hello, Mrs. Halliwell. My name is Harry Potter." Turning to Kendra, Piper said "Kendra, Thanks for calling. Cal we please be alone fore a little bit please?" Miss Holt nodded, stood up, and left the room.

Stephen looked Harry over before realizing that this boy could indeed be Jack. Reaching out for his older cousin he said 'Wyatt look through my eyes a moment. Tell me what you think.' Harry saw Stephen's eyes go from blue to green brown and back again. 'Stephen. He could be Jack. But then again he could be a demon. Be careful.' Stephen turned to Piper saying "Aunt Piper, Wyatt says that he could be Jack, but that he could also be a demon." Piper eyed Harry up and down, and then seemingly without reason flicked her fingers and when nothing happened Harry looked around. "What did you do that for?" Stephen looked slightly taken aback but Piper just smiled. "Well, Stephen … It seems for once that Wyatt was wrong. He is no demon. So, Mr. Potter what can I help you with?" Harry took his visualization of the Triquetra off of Miss Holt's desk. "You can help me figure out why this symbol keeps cropping up in my dreams. May I share something with you that may seem a little extreme?"

Piper nodded so Harry continued "I attend Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. 9 months out of the year I am in Scotland. The other 3 I am at my aunt's house in London. This year was different, Professor Leo Wyatt came to teach a course on Wiccan magic. It was this year that I found out that I have Wiccan powers as well as Wizarding powers. The only people that I regard as parents are my Professor Lupin and My Godfather Sirius. Both were best friends of my dads. I keep having dreams or visions where I am in this weird house that has the symbol, which you Mrs. Halliwell, hold. If you can help me with this then great. If you cannot please let me know so I can have my friend Hermione help me through this." Piper realized that the boy in front of her could indeed be her nephew. He held himself much like Paige had when she was new to Wiccan magic. He had drawn the Triquetra to perfection, Piper said "Well that's not as extreme as some of the frantic tales, Demons have told me before I vanquish them." Stephen and Piper chuckled, Harry just started at them. "Demons are real?" Piper laughed even harder. "Yes, little spark they are real." Stephen sighed before saying, "She calls all her nieces and nephews that can orb, 'little spark' it gets annoying when your in your teens."

Harry just looked from Piper to Jack and back again. "Huh … do you really think I could be your nephew Mrs. Halliwell? I would love to find out that I actually have a family somewhere to which I can run. I need to know that Hotaru was wrong, that I am worthy to have a white lighter. " Piper stiffened as she heard that. "An elder told you that you were not worthy of a white lighter?" Harry could tell that Piper was getting angry. "Well … not exactly … I believe his exact words were 'The elders will present a white lighter to you when we deem you worthy' … I think I scared the elder … I started yelling my head off and he orbed out." Steven chuckled saying "Yeah our family has a past with scaring the elders, we also piss them off quite a bit."

Harry chuckled before saying, "Please excuse me. I need to get back to my school. I hope to see you very soon. Mrs. Halliwell, I will keep in contact. Do you have a device that will work in a heavily magical environment?" Piper dug in her purse and frowned. "I had a PDA that worked in the underworld … where did it go?" Stephen chuckled, closed his eyes and with a shimmer of white stars a Blackberry PDA was in his hand. "Do you mean this one?" Piper nodded and Stephen moved to Harry and handed him the PDA. "Thank you very much for this Mrs. Halliwell. Thank you Stephen, I really must get back now … my teachers are probably freaking out." Harry thought of Hogsmeade, the feel of it, the smell of it, and how it looked and then Harry saw the white lights again and he was in Hogsmeade. Harry laughed again he had done it it! He looked around him and had to laugh again, he had just startled a group of third years by appearing right in front of them.

Harry ran back into the school grounds and pulled out the PDA, scrolled threw the menu and found Piper's number. He pulled up the contact information and selected text and sent "Hey Piper. I'm back in England, and back to school. I'll see you in three weeks if that is ok." A screen came up that said 'Message Sent', so Harry put the PDA in his back pocket and walked into the castle. Harry sat down for dinner with the rest of the Gryffindor table, it wasn't until something started vibrating in his back pocket and he jumped up yelping, that anybody noticed that he was there. Blushing slightly and pulling the PDA out of his back pocket, Harry looked at the offending piece of technology.

Realizing it was a call, not just a text he hit a green button and held it up to his ear while walking out into the Entrance Hall. "Hello?" Piper's voice was coming threw the PDA, "Hey just giving you a call to see if it was just the texts that work … or if calls work too." Harry smiled slightly. "Yeah, both the features work. Mrs. Halliwell, I will see you in three weeks. I would like to meet the rest of the family at that time if it is possible." Harry heard a ton of laughter on the other end of the line. "Ignore them little spark. Except for Stephen, they haven't heard me called Mrs. Halliwell in quite a while. We will see you then." Piper and Harry said goodbye and Harry tried to sneak back into the Great Hall, but found everybody looking at him. Harry shrugged his shoulders saying "What? None of you have ever seen a PDA before? I'm starving … what's for dinner?" The Great Hall chuckled and as some pureblood students looked very confused they all went back to their dinners.
