Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Charmed. I am just a fan. The only thing I own is my own Characters such as Phoenix.

A/N: Yeah!! I'm back! My classes are done for the summer so no more college finals. This is just a nibble. I will post chapters as I write them. I wanted to post this earlier in the week but things got busy and hectic I was not able to. So hopefully by Friday we will be back on track.

The Other Magical World

Chapter 37: Why is his name so familiar?

'Flamel…Flamel…Nicolas Flamel…Who is he?!' Phoenix kept pondering over Nicolas Flamel ever since Hagrid slipped up days ago. She couldn't keep him out of her mind. 'Why did that name sound so familiar?' Phoenix thought as the four of them were walking the corridors.

"Hey guys let's go to the library! We have plenty of time before our next class to look around." Hermione suggested.

The boys nodded in agreement. The four of them had started looking around in the library a couple of days ago. So far they have found nothing, but they haven't had time to fully look around either. They only had time to go through one book each. And that took most of the day, since they were going in between classes.

Phoenix didn't hear a word Hermione said. She was too busy in thought about Nicolas Flamel. It wasn't until she felt someone's hand on her shoulder, that they were taking a different direction.

"Phoenix, we are going to the library didn't you hear?" Harry asked.

"Huh?" Phoenix looked at Harry her eyes still deep in thought.

"We all decided to go to the library since we had time. You know, so we can look some more into Nicolas Flamel."

"Oh...okay then lead the way." She said in a small voice.

It still didn't register what all had been said. Her mind was on autopilot. So, Harry took her arm and led her towards the way. She followed without question. Harry and she walked in silence trying to catch up with Ron and Hermione whom seem to not have noticed them gone. He kept looking over at Phoenix who just had a blank look on her face. 'I wonder what is going through her mind right now. She looks like something is bothering her.' Harry thought as he continued to watch her. Phoenix felt Harry's eyes on her. She just shook it off and kept her thoughts on Nicolas Flamel.

When the four reached the library, Hermione rushed over towards Phoenix and her usual table in the far back corner. It was just their luck, no one was anywhere near them. They can look for Nicolas Flamel without raising any suspicions. Hermione, who was too eager to wait for anyone to sit down, rushed over to some shelves and gathered four humongous books.

"Geezz Hermione, think you got enough?" Ron asked as he sat down.

"No Ronald, they are not all for me." Hermione answered as she placed a book in front of him. The girls sat on one side of the table while the boys sat across from them.

Ron looked over at Harry who had a book placed in front of him as well. He looked at the title and began to flip through it as Harry did the same. It was clearly noted that neither of them was as eager to research Flamel as Hermione. But Harry was as excited to know the importance of Flamel as any of them.

When Hermione came to Phoenix, she placed a book in front of her as well and sat next to her. Phoenix glanced at her book. She hated research. It was not one of her favorite things to do. Whenever there was a demon or something to vanquish and her aunts and mother thought they could handle it, she always left the researching up to Katie and Melinda. They were the researchers in the family. Wyatt and she were the problem solvers and action people.

Phoenix took a deep sigh and opened her book. Scanning was the best thing she could do at the moment. She didn't really feel like looking thoroughly through each paragraph like Hermione insisted. 'How do we even know this Flamel guy is even in these books? Maybe he is just a friend to Dumbledore? But then again why does his name sound so familiar?' Phoenix just kept her eyes blankly on the pages. They didn't mean anything to her. The words just blurred together.

"Hermione, how do we even know if any of these books have Flamel in them?" Phoenix asked in a bored tone.

"Well, we don't. That is why we are looking through them. Seriously Phoenix, it seems as if you have been out of it all day. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I was just wondering."

"You have been on the same page for a while now. Are you sure you are okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

The three of them looked at Phoenix not really believing her. She didn't really like it, so she put on one of her fake smile.

"I'm telling you, I'm fine. Let's go though we will be late for class." Phoenix said as she grabbed her bag and rushed out not letting anyone reply.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry just looked at each other.

"What is wrong with her?"

A/N: What is wrong with Phoenix? Has Phoenix ever heard of the name Nicolas Flamel? Sorry, this is short and sweet, like I said this is just a nibble for future chapters. I will be posting as they come. Till next time!
