Okay, my daily update. It isn't as interesting, but I promise the next one will be better. And I will be starting something new, and it is called previews. To keep you hanging, I will start to leave little one liners previewing what's going to happen in my next chapter. And keep the updates coming, I love them.

Dakota woke up with her eyes almost sealed from her tears the night before. She looked in the mirror to see a horribly splotched face, and her blue eyes were swollen. There was a t-shirt and some sweat pants laying out, and surprisingly they fit. She had known that the Charmed Ones hadn't had any children, except for the one who was now pregnant, so she chalked it up to their old clothes. She warily brushed her hair, trying hard not to cry at the fact that her parents were now dead. She shook her head, and turned to walk outside. No one was in the hall way, and she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do. It wasn't bad enough that she had completely come undone in her first meeting with the Charmed Ones, no, she had to fall asleep on one of their beds. She looked around, and turned just as a boy was walking out of a room. It was just her luck that this boy was coming out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel on. He was a little taller than her, with glasses and hair that hung all around his face, and it was of course wet. His towel only covered half his body, showing off a very nice upper half. She blushed, of course.

"Um, you're up."

She winced, trying to keep her eyes up. "Um yeah, I am."

"Um, I would move, but you're, um blocking my door." She realized she was leaning against a door, but as she realized this, the door opened, causing her to fall backwards. Of course she screamed at the top of her lungs, she wasn't good with surprises.

"Bloody hell, are you alright?" Another boy stood over her, helping her up. He had bright red hair, and was almost too gangly. The other boy would have helped, save for the fact that he was holding his towel.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Just then, a woman and man came running up the steps.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, she just…fell." The boy who was in his pajamas said. The woman looked at all the teenagers, and Dakota was now blushing more than ever.

"Um, why don't you come downstairs with me?" Dakota nodded slowly, walking with her as the woman put a hand on her back. She had dark brown hair up in a bun, and was wearing a tank top and a pair of jeans, looking like she had been up for a while. "I'm Phoebe, and you're Dakota right."

"Yeah."

"Well, you and I will have to talk." Dakota nodded. Phoebe led her down the stairs and into a kitchen. "What would you like for breakfast, I know you didn't eat anything last night."

"Just toast." Phoebe nodded. She moved around, getting everything ready.

"So, Piper tells me you're a witch. Do you mind telling me your power?"

"I can run."

"You can run?" Dakota was suddenly gone, then came back, and in her hand were some oranges. "Oh, really fast. Are these from the market?"

"No, Florida."

"Oh," Phoebe looked at the oranges, "Fresh." Dakota gave a little smile. "Um, do you mind telling me where you live?"

"I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I ran here last night after…after it happened."

"I'm sorry for your loss. Can you tell me who did it?"

"It's a demon, a demon named Mordent. He has been after our family for centuries, after my ancestor killed all of his tribe. He found us last night. I got away, barely." She looked down, and Phoebe felt some hurt.

"Um, we will look in the book for Mordent, but you are going to have to excuse us, Piper's son is in town with his god father and friend, so we have a full house, but I will bunk with Paige and you will use my bed for the time being. I have already called Darrel, our friend who is with the police. He said to call when we knew where you lived. So we will be working against the clock for when the social worker gets here." Dakota nodded, and quickly stood up as someone flamed in. Cole stood there, and suddenly he was pinned against the wall by Dakota. "Dakota, its okay, let him go; he's my ex-husband." Phoebe rushed out, looking at Cole. Dakota let him go and was suddenly behind Phoebe. "You really need to stop now." She said, feeling her heart beat drumming from the shock of seeing Dakota everywhere at once. She looked at Cole, crossing her arms. "What are you doing here?"

"See if you're alright, have any guests?"

"Yes, you've met Dakota."

"Oh, and what about that boy, is he at home yet?"

"Why do you want to know?" She looked at Cole carefully, and Harry and Ron came in, Harry's eyes getting very large.

"What is he doing here?"

"He came for a visit, don't worry, he isn't taking anyone with him. You've met Harry, haven't you Cole." Cole turned and smiled.

"Yes, sorry about how we met, Tracer demons, can't be trusted, but I did come to welcome you to the Halliwell family." His neck jerked over to Phoebe, looking her square in the eyes, but Phoebe's eyes fell, wondering how he knew. "It's just a shame my wife couldn't tell me."

"Ex-wife. And I didn't tell you because I am still angry with you with the fact that you kidnapped him. You don't deserve to know." Sirius now walked in, and Phoebe winced.

"And who is this." Cole said, turning and holding out a hand. "Cole Tuner." Sirius stood there looking at him.

"Is this your ex-husband the one who—"

"Yeah, that's the one." Sirius quickly brought his hand up and punched Cole. Cole fell to the floor, and Phoebe brought her hands to her face.

"That is for what he did to my godson." Cole slowly got up, taking a deep breath through his nose.

"That semi-hurt, and I am surprised I was expecting that from his father." He looked at Phoebe. "I will talk to you later, I have a lot of work and good things to do today." He flamed out.

"I should've punched him harder." Sirius said, walking over to the fridge and getting out the milk.

Paige scanned the shelves looking for more powdered toadstool. She was trying to teach Harry the body switching spell, and as always toadstool was out at the Halliwell house. She turned found it and grabbed three packages, wanting back up if something went wrong. She walked up to the register and smiled at the man. He rang her up and she left. She started walking down the street, but ran into someone as she turned the corner.

"Ow," she looked up, and rolled her eyes. "Are you stalking me now?"

"I take offense in that, I wanted to see China town. There is a great Wizarding spot here."

"Um," she looked up and down the street. "No there isn't."

"There is, you just have to know where to look." He smiled, raising a brow, "Wanna see?"

She looked at him, considering it. "Will this entail anything, I mean…"

"No, you won't just have to go out with me if I show you a wizarding spot. I'm not going to worry about that, you will want to go out with me by yourself." She rolled her eyes, but when he offered his arm, she took it. He led her into a very dark pub, and led her to a back alley. It was walled in by some cement blocks, but he took out his wand, and clicked a couple of the cement blocks. They seemed to fold away, revealing a very long street. Paige gasped.

"Well, this is the wizard spot. It has everything you'll want, but it doesn't have a bank, that one is only in Europe."

"Really? I didn't know." She looked around her, looking at a wand shop, dress shops, places where you could get books. "This is amazing."

"Yep, they have great restaurants too, you know, if you ever wanted to go to one." She laughed.

"It doesn't bother you that we both have red hair."

"I like it that way."

"Oh, then does it help that I am not a natural red head?"

"No, I think that makes you truthful to admit that to me."

"Wow, you're good." He smiled.

"Well, I can wait this out. All I have to do is wait for you to like me, or save your life."

"Aim for save my life." She giggled. He slowly led her into an Apothecary, where he picked up some ingredients. She looked at him questioningly.

"Someone got bit; we're making some salve for it."

"Oh, that probably hurts."

"Yeah, especially where he got bit." Paige looked up quickly.

"Ew."

"Yeah, tell that to him." She smiled, looking at all the different things. He paid for all his things, handing the owner some gold and silver coins. "So, want some lunch?"

"Um, I can't, Harry is learning a soul switching potion."

"A soul switching potion, that's interesting."

"Yep, I made it myself. Well, it was on accident, but I did make it myself." He laughed.

"So who did you switch yourself with?"

"Phoebe, and it was not as fun as I thought." He smiled.

"Well, I think you need an owl."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, you are related to Harry, and Harry sends mail through owls."

"So we need an owl?"

"Well, you might not be here for months, you don't have a wand to get here, so let's buy an owl." He held open a door and led her into a place that was dimly lighted where owls were sleeping. Paige walked from cage to cage, looking at all the different ones. She finally picked one, a brown and gray one. Charlie switched some money with her so she could pay for it. She smiled as she took the cage and walked outside. "Oh, I am late to getting back to work."

"OH, my…that poor man with his…bite." He smiled. "Well, it's the least I can do." She held out her hand, "Where to?"

"Um, 345 22nd Avenue." She smiled, orbing him there.

Harry and Ron sat, petting Buckbeak. Leo had promised that later, he would or them to a Quidditch field so Harry could show Leo how to fly his Firebolt and Harry was going to let Leo see how well he could catch the snitch.

"So, was that embarrassing what happened with the girl or what?"

"It was embarrassing, and you can't say anything, you were fully clothed." Ron laughed. "I do feel bad for you, losing her parents. I wonder how long she will be here."

"Can't be too sure. You're aunt is up trying to make a potion for the demon right now, so I guess not long."

"Yeah, isn't it weird, they make potions to vanquish evil?"

"Yeah, maybe they have one for you-know-who."

"Maybe." The door opened, and Dakota walked downstairs. Harry looked at her closely. Her brown hair shaped her face falling at different lengths. Her bangs were close to her blue eyes. She was short, shorter than him. The sweat pants were too long for her, covering over her socks.

"Hey, whoa, what's that?"

"That's a hippogriff. He's a magical creature."

"Wow, cool. Can I pet him?"

"Yes, but DON'T insult him." Ron said.

"Um, yeah, just bow, and if he bows back you can pet him. I'm Harry, and this is Ron." Ron waved. Dakota made a little bow, and Buckbeak bowed back. She walked over and pet him, a smile playing at her lips. "I think he likes you."

"He's such a pretty animal."

"Yeah, we're trying to keep him company cause he wants to be outside." She smiled at Ron.

"Well, why don't you just take him somewhere?"

"We can't exactly take him outside."

"Well, can't you orb or something."

"Only in place, and when I'm scared. Plus, I still have lessons with Paige today. I'll ask Leo to take him with us when we go to the Quidditch field."

"Oh, what's Quidditch?"

"We'll show you today if you want to." She smiled.

"Sure."

"Do you like sports?"

"Yeah, I play a lot of sports." Harry nodded. She kept petting Buckbeak, and suddenly Paige orbed into the room.

"Hey you guys. Harry, ready to soul switch."

"Yes, I am." He looked at Ron, and Ron smiled at him.

"Don't worry, I'll hang out with Dakota, you go ahead." Harry walked up, ready to start potions.

Cole looked at the ugly creature before him.

"Mordent, I believe you can help me"…

"I really am starting to fall for you."…

"LOOK OUT!"…
