Chapter 2

Piper, Paige and Phoebe just started at Paul blankly.

"Harry who?" asked Paige.

"Potter, Harry Potter. He is the only one who can defeat the Dark Lord. It was prophesized before he was even born."

"Well whose to say he can't have a little help?" said Phoebe.

"But you don't even know where he went." Paul looked as though he doubted whether or not three girls could help defeat the most feared dark wizard of fifty years.

"But we do have ways of finding out. Paige can you get the crystal while Phoebe gets the map?"

"But what are we going to scry with?" asked Phoebe.

Piper then pulled out of her pocket the small piece of cloth that she had managed to blow off of the man's robes. "I knew this would come in handy."

Once Paige and Phoebe returned with the map and crystal, Piper started scrying. At first nothing was happening. "I don't get it, where is he?" said Paige.

"Perhaps you need a larger map," suggested Paul, even though he really had no idea what they girls were doing. He did know that they were looking for the death eater but he didn't understand how a crystal was going to find him.

"Will this work?" Phoebe had walked into the living room with a globe.

"You know Phoebe; this is just like that time you were kidnapped by that mummy guy. We didn't know where you were until the crystal flew across the room and landed on Egypt," Paige said.

At that moment, the crystal flew out of Piper's hand and landed will a loud tap on the globe. When she got up to see where it had landed, she saw that it had landed on London.  "Well, pack your bags, looks like we're going to London."

"Of course he would return, it only makes sense," Paul said more to himself than to anyone else. Then he looked at the girls. "I must warn you. There is no doubt that he will have told the Dark Lord about you and your powers. He has many allies and you can trust no one, except Dumbledore."

At the mention of this name a small smile crept up on all three girls faces. Each was trying to hold back their laughter. Paul noticed. "Do you not understand how serious this is? Why are you all smiling?"

"Well, it just that…Dumbledore's a funny name," said Paige, but seeing the look on Paul's face she added, "Well, we thought it was funny."

"Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of this age. He is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I cannot stress enough that the Dark Lord has spies every where. You must be discreet; whatever you do, do not use your powers in public or you will risk the exposure of our world."

"Don't worry about that. We've already learned that lesson the hard way," said Phoebe sadly.

"How do we get to Hogwarts?" asked Piper.

"You must go to the London train station on the First of September. There is an invisible platform there that you will go through. It is platform 9 ¾ and to get onto it you must walk directly at the barrier between platforms nine and ten. The Hogwarts Express leaves at exactly eleven o'clock which means you must get there before hand. I will have to go and warn Dumbledore that you will be coming. Whatever you do, do not breathe a word to anyone, especially the children, unless Dumbledore says it is safe. How will you be getting there?"

"We'll orb," said Paige.

"Oh, you mean that thing with the lights? Yes well I'll make sure you orb to a safe location where there aren't any muggles." He took out a small piece of thick paper that the girls recognized at once as parchment and wrote down an address. "This is the address to the Leaky Cauldron. Make sure you orb into the back alley, I'll have someone there waiting for you at ten o'clock to take you to the station. Just to make sure it's not a spy, we'll make a password; it will be Order of the Phoenix. If the person there does not give you the password, feel free to use your magic on them because they will surely show no mercy towards you. Then go inside and tell Tom the innkeeper to contact me. One more thing, you'll have to get robes. If you wait here I'll be back." With out warning and with a loud crack, he disapparated out of the Halliwell Living room.

The girls sat there trying to take in all of the information that was just given to them. Then a startled Paige cried out, "Wait, isn't September first tomorrow?"

They decided to stock up on non-fatal potions while Paul was away. They couldn't get used to the idea that they would be fighting humans and not demons. But what they didn't understand was that the people they were dealing with might as well have been demons. They had already made several smoke bomb potions and were halfway through making a potion that would emulate Piper's exploding power when they were distracted by a large crack in the living room. It had only been about twenty minutes since Paul had left so they were fairly surprised to see him back so soon.

When they walked into the living room the saw three sets or robes laid out. Piper immediately moved towards the dark navy blue one that looked almost black. Phoebe almost ran to get the deep crimson colored robes, and Paige was stuck with robes that were baby pink. They all put on their robes to see how they would look. To their surprise the robes started to change once they had them on. Paige's grew slightly longer and became less wide, Phoebe noticed that her sleeves were getting shorter and so was the bottom hem, and Piper saw her sleeves getting longer. They looked at Paul for an explanation.

"Well, I didn't know what size you were so I got self-fitting robes. I also got you these." He pulled out of his own robes three wands. "I know you already have powers but I know these will come in handy." He laid the wands on the table and said, "It is common knowledge that the wand chooses its owner, so each of you hold out your hand and the wand will come to you."

They each did what he said. The stood there for about a minute feeling pretty stupid when suddenly the wands began to vibrate and glow. One of the wands emitted a few green sparks and then flew into Paige's outstretched hand. Another wand Spun around three times before flying into Phoebe's hand and the very last wand help out a high pitch whistle and balanced on its tip before flying into Piper's hand. They were each very surprised and impressed at the power that they felt coming from this small thing.

"Now just for practice, I want you to try a simple spell. Point the wand at the thing you want to levitate and say winguardium leviosa." He pointed his wand at he plate that Paige had orbed earlier and said the spell. It levitated smoothly into the air before returning to the couch it had been on.

Piper was the first to try. She said the spell while pointing the wand at the scrying crystal. To her great surprise, the crystal actually rose from the table. Paige and Phoebe also managed to levitate the crystal. Paul was very impressed that they had each been able to do it on their first try. He now realized that they must indeed be quite powerful witches. "I have one last thing to give you." He pulled out a small pouch from his robes and handed it to Piper. When she looked inside she gasped.

"Gold? What do we need gold for?"

"This isn't just gold, its wizard money. You'll need it to get around and buy any supplies you might need for potion making. The large gold ones are galleons, the silver ones are sickles, and the small bronze ones are knuts. I must leave you now but we will meet again. Good luck." He disapparated.

The girls spent the night levitating more things with their new wands and making more potions. Phoebe and Paige both called out sick the next morning and Piper had Paige orb over to the club and put a "closed for renovation" sign on the door. Leo had agreed to watch Wyatt while the girls were gone and he told them he would only be a call away if they needed him.

At nine thirty in the morning they got all of their potions ready, put their wands and money into their new robes, and orbed to the alley behind the Leaky Cauldron. They waited only a few minutes before someone apparated in front of them. He was a tall and menacing looking man wearing robes of dark green. The girls looked at him waiting for the password. When it didn't come they started to worry.

"Um, hi. Can we help you?" said Piper.

"I'm your guide," said the man in a low voice that was more like a growl.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" asked Phoebe.

When he said nothing Paige added, "The password?"

"Of course, the password. It's Dumbledore," the man said confidently.

"Wrong answer," said Piper, and she froze him on the spot. They walked inside towards the bar and asked for Tom.

"Paul told us you knew how to contact him," said Phoebe.

"And that I do," said Tom. He walked over to a fire place and threw in some dust. Then, to the surprise of the girls he stuck his head in the now green flames and called Paul's name. Already startled, the girls nearly jumped when they saw Paul's head floating in the fire.

They explained what had happened and he told them they would have to come to his home by floo powder. After much objection on Piper's part, the three of them went by floo powder to Paul's house. Piper arrived in an especially bad mood because she had hit her head going into the fire place, and landed face first coming out of the fire place. The next thing that they had to do was get to the station.

"No more floo powder for me," said Piper.

"Don't worry, we'll use a port key."

They didn't even bother to ask questions as he told them all to touch and old baseball. With a tug behind their navels they felt themselves being whisked away.

They hit the floor with a loud thud in back of an alley near the train station. They knew what to do from here. They found the platform with ease, but looked at the barrier apprehensively. After little discussion, they walked through together. When they emerged on the other side their breath was taken away. The grand scarlet steam engine was sitting peacefully on the tracks while students walked around and got on the train. They were about to head towards it when a tall, and ancient looking man in sky blue robes approached them.

"The charmed ones, I presume."
