"Everything is normal on Earth," Mordion told his fellow Reingers. "Hogwarts is perfectly protected. I don't believe that there is any reason to worry about the Charmed Ones."

"Are you certain?" Vierran questioned. She still felt as though there was something very wrong happening on Earth.

"Yes," Mordion said. "Everything is running smoothly."

Vierran tried to shrug off the feeling, but she couldn't quite shake it. "Have you come to a conclusion concerning Melissa?" she asked, trying to get her mind onto something other than Earth.

"She is telling the truth," Mordion said. "It seems that she will be a part of the next Hand."

"Oh, that's going to be interesting," Vierran said, frowning. Arthur, Martellian, and Fitela were all wearing similar expressions.

"I'm sure that she will learn to control herself," Mordion said. "She'll have to. She tells me that three of the voices seem to come from Earth."

"What makes her think that?"

"The Leader, the Guide, and the Fighter know nothing about the Homeworld," Mordion said. "The Owl, however, appears to be from the Homeworld. The Bannus will be searching for her. We'll have to handle Earth ourselves. Fitela, you should be able to find them easily."

Fitela nodded. "When will be leaving?"

"After we settle things with Melissa," Mordion said. "She's not very interested in becoming a Reigner."

"Well, she's going to have to get used to the idea. If she's hearing voices, she must have a deep connection to the others," Arthur said. "Perhaps we can use that connection to find the others."

"We shall try."


Sabrina started to awaken. Was she still holding Harry? She was holding something… Something that wasn't Harry. In fact, it wasn't even human. Sabrina opened her eyes to find that she was snuggled into a pillow. What it all just a dream? Disappointment filled her. She sighed and sat up… then gasped. She was in some sort of a cabin. Okay. I'm not at Hogwarts, and I'm not at home. So where am I? She tried to remember anything that would give her a clue. She could only remember being sucked into the black hole and then waking up in this place. Get out of bed and look around. Ah, yes. That would probably help her.

Sabrina slipped out of bed and looked around the room. There really wasn't much in the room, save for a trunk filled with clothes. Glancing down at her odd nightgown, Sabrina came up with the brilliant idea of getting dressed before she ventured out of the room. She pulled out the clothing and was rather annoyed when she found that the only available clothes were a bunch of dresses. They were rather old fashioned, too. Complete with… corsets? Sabrina grimaced but zapped the dress on anyway. Something weird was going on, and she had to go along with it until she figured it out.

Cautiously, Sabrina opened the door and walked out of the room. She came face to face with Prue, who smiling. She was wearing a dress that resembled Sabrina's. That was weird, but there was something off about her smile…

"I see you're finally up," Prue said. "You just missed your father."

Sabrina nearly fell over. "M-my father?"

"Of course."

"But… but my father is dead," Sabrina said.

"Dead? Sarah, that is ridiculous. You must have had a bad dream," Prue said, patting Sabrina on the head.

"Did you just call me Sarah, Aunt Prue?"

"Well, that is your name, Sarah," Prue said, laughing a little. "Why did call me 'Aunt Praise'? You used to call me mother."

Sabrina's mouth dropped open. "Okay, have you gone crazy? One: you are my aunt, the sister of my mother, Phoebe Halliwell. Two: your name is Prudence, not Praise. Three: my name is Sabrina. And four: Cole Turner, my father, died before I was born."

Prue pressed her hand against Sabrina's forehead. "Are you feeling well, Sarah? You're not hot, but you're saying such strange things. I am your mother, Sarah, and your father is fine. He's not the Cole Turner that you speak of. He is Andrew Perry. And the only Halliwell I know is an old maid named Paget Halliwell. She is certainly not related to you in any way." Prue paused and considered her 'daughter'. "Come and eat breakfast. I believe your dreams have run away with you, but a good meal should fix that."

Sabrina numbly followed Prue to the table. My aunt has lost her mind. Strange. Aunt Prue's always been the stable one. So what does this have to do with this cabin? And the clothes? Sabrina racked her brain, trying to figure out where she had seen such a setting before. Everything was so old fashioned. It was quite clear that they had gone back in time. She vaguely remembered learning about this setting in muggle school, but she couldn't recall the time period. She had always hated history class. Now she was starting to wish that she had paid attention.

She kept thinking about it, but she was going to need more information if she was going to make an educated guess. She could ask Prue… but Prue already thought that she was the crazy one. Still, she could ask about the year… "P - er, mother, what year is it?"

"Why, 1775, of course," Prue answered.

"And the month?"

"March." She examined Sabrina again. "You've been acting oddly ever since we came to the New World, Sarah. Is it because you miss England?"

"Yes. I really miss England." Sabrina was stuck in the past, and she was caught in what would eventually become the United States. And soon, the American Revolution would begin. She had to get out there.


Sabrina walked towards the home of Paget Halliwell. She had asked her 'mother' for information about Paget, and she had been told that Paget was an apothecary who lived alone. Prue had been reluctant, but she had also told Sabrina where to find her. It appeared that Sabrina was the only one who realized that they were in the past, so it was up to her to get them out of there. But first, she had to find all of her family.

She knocked on the door of Paget Halliwell's home and saw a small sign that proclaimed: 'Paget Halliwell, apothecary'. The door opened immediately.

"Philo - oh, hello, child."

Sabrina had found Paige.

"You are the daughter of Andrew Perry, aren't you?" Paige said, looking her up and down.

"Yes, I'm Sab - Sarah Perry." Sabrina suspected that 'Andrew' was in fact Drew. That was a really creepy thought.

"It is good to meet you, Sarah. Come in. What brings you here?" Paige asked as Sabrina walked in.

"I'm actually here for some information," Sabrina said, looking around at the herb-filled home.

"Ah. I suppose you want to know something that your mother wouldn't tell you," Paige said, smiling a knowing smile.

"Yes," Sabrina said, feeling a bit relieved that Paige at least seemed willing to talk to her. She may not be Paige anymore, but she still has a big mouth. "I'd like to know if there's anyone around here with the last name Black." While questioning Prue, Sabrina had just thrown out the name 'Black'. She hadn't expected Prue to turn white and tell her to never mention that name again.

Paige's looked turned grim. "You haven't heard the rumors around them, have you?" she said softly. It was more of a statement than a question.

"No," Sabrina said. "Please, tell me about them. At least tell me their names."

"Simon Black and his wife, Philomena Black, live on the outskirts of this town," Paige said in a hushed voice. "People say that Philomena has gypsy blood in her, and so no one trusts her or Simon."

"You were expecting Philomena Black," Sabrina said, recalling the cutoff greeting.

"Yes, I was," Paige said. "Philomena may have gypsy blood in her, but she is no thief or vagabond. She is a dear friend of mine."

"Almost like a sister?"

Paige smiled. "Indeed. I have no one else that I can call my friend. The people of this town do not trust me either. They think that I am irregular, for I support myself and live alone."

"I don't think that's unusual," Sabrina said. "Thank you for telling me about Philomena. Do you know of anyone with the last name 'Wyatt'?"

"The Wyatt family is one of the most respected families in the entire colony," Paige said. "They are quite wealthy. They live in the large house down the road. I'm surprised you don't know them."

"Well, I don't really pay much attention to the world around me," Sabrina said. "The lady of the Wyatt house wouldn't happen to be named Piper, would she?"

"No, but that's close. Her name is Pippa Wyatt. Her husband is Leon Wyatt. They have two sons named Matthew and Christopher," Paige informed her.

"How do you know all this?"

"I don't have much to occupy my time, Sarah," Paige answered. "And it's difficult to keep any secrets in this town."

"Well, thank you. I have to leave now, but I want you to know that I really appreciate this information," Sabrina said.

"It was nothing, Sabrina… Sarah." Paige looked confused by the slip.

Sabrina silently rejoiced as she left. Now I know where my mother and Aunt Piper are. She still didn't understand why everyone around her believed that they were a part of the past. The situation seemed very suspicious. The black hole was obviously what had taken them back to the past, but it still didn't add up. Time didn't just rip open randomly. And it certainly wouldn't make them believe that they were a part of the past. No, something was off, and Sabrina had a feeling that the Cian Master had a hand in all this.

Her train of thought crashed as she saw Harry. He was looking quite nice in his new wardrobe. He was walking with… Remus Lupin? Sabrina blinked a few times. Lupin was nowhere near Hogwarts when that black hole opened up. Another realization dawned on her. Mom and the aunts weren't there either. They were at that place I found. That place had a field of influence. But what does it have to do with the black hole? Sabrina was stumped.

"Sarah!"

It took Sabrina a moment to remember that she was Sarah. She turned around. Hermione was walking towards her. Sabrina glanced around. Everyone she could see was from Hogwarts. Everyone at Hogwarts, all Halliwells, and Lupin… what's the connection?

"Hermione," Sabrina said and met her halfway.

"You got my name wrong, silly," Hermione said.

"Oh… uh…" What name is similar to Hermione?

"Helen, would you wait up?" Ron came up to them.

"Reignald, you are too slow," Hermione declared. "Where's Henry?"

If Hermione's Helen and Ron's Reignald, then Henry must be Harry, Sabrina concluded.

"He's over there, with his father," Ron said.

"His father?" Sabrina repeated, incredulous.

"Of course. He's right there." Hermione pointed him out.

"Oh," Sabrina said, realizing that Lupin was acting as Harry's father in this new reality. What in blue blazes is going on here?

"Ah, Henry. How are you doing today?" Hermione greeted Harry.

"Fairly well, but my father is acting very oddly," Harry said, casting a concerned look at Lupin.

"Really? How so?" Sabrina was hoping that someone else was in their right mind. Please, please, please.

"He kept calling me Harry, and he was surprised when I called him father," Harry explained.

"Are you kidding me? I think I hear the hallelujah chorus," Sabrina said.

"What are you talking about, Sarah?" Ron asked.

"You wouldn't understand." She flicked her fingers. All activity stopped. At least my powers still work. She paused. If I'm in the past, my powers shouldn't work. This is very suspicious. She ran over to Lupin and unfroze him. "Don't burn me at the stake for saying this, but are you a wizard?" she asked.

"Of course I'm a wizard, Sabrina," Lupin said.

Sabrina hugged him. "Thank you so much. You actually know my name." She released him. "If you're about to ask me what the hell is going on, I have no idea."

"I see. Do you know why Harry thinks I'm his father?" He glanced at the frozen Harry.

"Somehow, we have all been put into little families," Sabrina said. "I'm now the daughter of Drew Perry and Prue."

"Drew Perry? The visitor from the future?"

"That's the one. How do you know him?"

"Dumbledore told the Order about him," Lupin said.

"Hmm. Okay, why are we the only ones who can remember the truth?" Sabrina wondered.

"It might have to do with the fact that we're both not entirely human," Lupin said.

"But what difference would that make?"

"We both have more animalistic features that make us more likely to survive," Lupin explained. "As a result, it's easier for us to sense deception."

"Who else would not be fooled?" Sabrina wondered. "Hagrid! He's part giant. But where would he be?"

"I don't think it will be too hard to find him."

"True," Sabrina agreed. "Do you still have your wand?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go find him." She started to walk away, but Lupin stopped her.

"Are you just going to leave them like this?" He gestured towards the frozen people.

"I guess not."

"You have to get back into place," Lupin reminded her.

Sabrina sighed and got back into her original position. She then flicked her fingers. "I have to go talk with my mother. I'll see you guys later." She went back to Lupin.

"How many people were brought here?" Lupin said, looking at the numerous students.

"Everyone at Hogwarts," Sabrina replied. "Sirius is here too, but he's known as Simon Black. My mother's apparently married to him. She's called Philomena Black. She's reportedly a gypsy."

"Who told you all this?"

"Paget Halliwell. That's Paige. She's an apothecary and she knows everything about everyone," Sabrina said.

"Well… If it isn't Sarah Perry."

"Malfoy?" Sabrina whipped around, skirt flying. "What do you want?"

"Only to say good morning to this town's most lovely resident," Malfoy said, smiling.

Malfoy was smiling? It wasn't a smirk or a sneer. "Most… lovely…" Sabrina regained her stature. "Have you gone mad, Malfoy?"

"I most certainly haven't. You needn't call me by such a formal name, Miss Perry. Call me Drake."

"Whatever. I'm leaving now."

"Perhaps you could leave me with a kiss…"

Sabrina's eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open. She flicked her fingers and backed away from Malfoy. "Oh dear Merlin," Sabrina said. "He did not just say that!" She unfroze Lupin and looked to him. "Please tell me that I momentarily lost my mind."

"Looks like you have an admirer," Lupin said.

Sabrina made a face. "Ew. That is the nastiest thing ever." She shuddered. "Frightening. I think I'm going to be scarred for life." She turned her gaze on Harry, trying to cancel it out. Think of Harry. She thought of the kiss they had shared and felt a little better. "Let's get out of here now." She unfroze the scene and put as much distance between her and Malfoy as possible.

"Wait, I see him," Lupin said.

Sabrina halted and grinned. Hagrid was there. "Hagrid!"

Hagrid saw them. "You're the first one today to call me by the right name," Hagrid said. "Everybody's been calling me Heath."

"Well, something weird is going on. It probably wouldn't be best to talk about this here…" Lupin said.

Hagrid nodded. "I seem to have gotten a new home. We'll talk there." He led them to his house.

"All right. Hagrid, do you remember the black hole?" Sabrina questioned.

"Yeah. I couldn't forget a thing like that," Hagrid said.

"Well, I got sucked into the black hole with everyone else," Sabrina said. "Then I woke up here, with my aunt as my mother and future boy as my father. Prue told me that it's March of 1775 and that we're in the New World."

"We're in the past?" Hagrid said.

"I don't think so," Sabrina said. "My powers work. If we were in the past, my powers wouldn't exist. I believe that we're still in the same time. The question is, where are we? I thought that we could be in an alternate reality, but we wouldn't replace anyone if we went to another world."

"Unless we're the only ones who were drawn here," Lupin said.

Sabrina shook her head. "That couldn't be. That black hole took all of us." She paused. "The Cian Master collected Barbus's powers recently."

"What does this have to do with fear?" Hagrid questioned.

"Nothing," Sabrina said. "What's important about that it that is he's stealing powers. There are demons that can create illusions. I think that he created an illusion."

"He couldn't have fooled all these people with just that power, though," Lupin pointed out. "If he has that power, he must be drawing on an incredible source of magic, not just another demon."

"Earlier today I found this abandoned town that has a huge field of influence," Sabrina told them. "In the basement of one of the houses, I found a door that was guarding something. I only found this place because someone sent a golem to me."

"A golem? They were banned years ago," Lupin said.

"I know. Someone wanted me to find that field," Sabrina continued. "I think they wanted to trap me. I couldn't shimmer out of there and I couldn't zap myself out. I only got out because of my mother. But I don't understand why the person didn't try to kill me."

"Maybe you were only meant to find the place," Hagrid said.

"Well, my mother and the aunts went to go check it out," said Sabrina. "And they didn't come back. My mother knew where the field ended. She should have been able to get out. Maybe they got past the door."

"If they did, something very powerful was released," Lupin said.

"Do you think we're in that field?"

"You said that you couldn't shimmer out of the field," Hagrid stated. "So why don't you try to shimmer?"

Sabrina tried. "I can't do it. The Cian Master probably did this. It's an easy kill, but I don't think he understands the power that he's drawing on. He doesn't know that we are aware of this."

"Then we'll have to play along," Lupin said.

"Great," Sabrina sighed. "I'm stuck in a place with no contact with the outside world and a Malfoy who has the hots for me. Suddenly, facing the Cian Master doesn't seem so bad."

"Malfoy?" Hagrid repeated.

Sabrina buried her face in her hands. "I don't want to talk about it."


"It would be best if I didn't go with you to see my mother," Sabrina said to Lupin. "Sirius for me is like the moon is for you. It's not a pretty thing."

"Yes, Sirius told me about that," Lupin said. He was looking at Sabrina oddly.

"Um… he didn't tell you anything else, did he?"

"He did say that you and 'someone' are a perfect match," Lupin said.

"In those general terms?"

"Yes. Care to share something?"

"Not really. Well, I'm off to talk to Pippa." She and Lupin went their separate ways. It was rather easy to find the Wyatt house. It was the biggest house around. Sabrina decided that she wasn't going to play around and used her magic to get into the house. She located Piper quickly. Piper and Leo were together. That was good. "Hello. You must be Leon and Pippa Wyatt. You might know the name Perry, and you might know me as Sarah Perry. That is complete lie, but you won't recognize the name Sabrina Halliwell. Now, Pippa, you are a witch. And Leon, you are a whitelighter. You're both caught up in an illusion, but I know what you really are."

Piper stared at Sabrina. She didn't look surprised. In fact, she looked like she had been expecting it. Piper sighed and took Leo's hand. "How much must we pay you for you to keep your silence?"

"I'm not blackmailing you. You know about your powers?"

"Of course I do. I don't know what a whitelighter is, but my husband certainly not one," Piper said. "If you do not want money, what do you want? Authority? A marriage? I'll do anything you want if you promise not to tell anyone."

"I won't tell these people," Sabrina said. "I know they'd try to burn you at the stake. And even though you'd easily be able to handle them, it doesn't seem like you know you can. You can't remember any of it." Sabrina was starting to get frustrated. They were all easy prey for the Cian Master, and no one would listen.

"You want nothing? Why you accusing her, then?" Leo asked.

"You don't get it. And you won't as long as you're still here." Sabrina knew that she had to get everyone out of this place, but no one would listen to her if she tried to get everyone to leave. She pointed at them. "Obliviate." They didn't need to go around thinking that she was going to turn them in.

Piper blinked. "Who are you? How did you get in here?"

"She's my niece."

That voice. Sabrina started to form an energy ball, but stopped herself. She couldn't let him know that she wasn't fooled. She forced herself to speak as the Cian Master walked in. "Uncle. It is good to see you."

"Sarah. What a surprise. I wasn't expecting to see you here," the Cian Master said.

Sabrina's heart was racing. "Nor was I expecting you, Uncle." She was at the mercy of the Cian Master, but he wasn't going to kill her. No… that would ruin the façade.

"Oh, I remember you now," Piper said. "You're Praise's daughter."

"That is correct."

"Caden, do come and sit down," Leo said.

Don't do that! Fight him! It took all of Sabrina's self-control to not go after the Cian Master. He wouldn't be expecting an attack… "Well, I must leave now," Sabrina said.

"I'll take you to your mother," the Cian Master said.

"I wouldn't want to be a bother."

"It's no bother at all."

She couldn't refuse him again. He would suspect something. "Very well." And she walked out with the Cian Master at her side.
