I'm so sorry this took so long, but I had it all typed up on my new computer that I just got and then when I went to upload it, it didn't work! I don't know why. Oh, well. There was a good question brought up about whether or not there would be pairings because of the age difference. All I can say is that there will definitely be crushes developing. They'll be pretty obvious.
Disclaimer: I own no charmed or HP characters. If I did I would most certainly be living in a huge mansion in Hollywood! ;)

Chapter 3
"The charmed ones I presume," said an ancient looking man in sky blue robes with a beard that just about reached the floor.
"You presume right," said Piper. "Who are you?"
"Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Oh, so he's the guy with the funny name," Paige whispered to Phoebe who promptly elbowed her.
"Paul has told me all about you and I am very pleased to see that you wish to help us in our fight against the Dark Lord."
"It's no problem, it's what we do," said Phoebe.
By now several of the students had stopped to stare at the four adults standing just in front of the barrier. Piper was starting to become a little uncomfortable with all of the attention.
"Why is everyone staring at us," she asked.
"Well, they don't see many new people during the school year at Hogwarts. I suppose their just curious," he answered.
At that moment, a boy came running out from the platform and was just about to crash into them when-
FREEZE. Piper had frozen the entire platform, train, people and all.
"Whoa, talk about a power boost. Okay, you first," she said as she waved her hand and unfroze Dumbledore.
He looked around slightly bemused before saying, "Well, it seems as if Paul laws telling the truth. I was afraid he might have been under some sort of spell, after all…who ever heard of witches who didn't need wands." He looked at the boy who was frozen mere inches from him and said, "Ah, Harry. Always in such a hurry. Would you mind…" Dumbledore said to Piper as he moved out of the way.
She unfroze Harry and he went flying a few more feet until he came to a stop. "Ron, next time let's not run so fast," he said turning around to find Dumbledore and three women staring at him. He looked around and noticed that no one was moving, the steam had even stopped coming out of the train. "Professor, what's going on? Is it Voldemort?" he said worriedly.
The first thing Piper noticed about the boy was his eyes. He had the most startling green eyes she had ever seen, and at the moment they were filled with worry."No, no, just calm down. Everything will be explained in due time." He looked at Piper and nodded. She got the hint and unfroze everyone. Harry couldn't believe his eyes. Had he really just seen that woman unfreeze everyone? He looked at his headmaster questioningly, but he simply repeated, "All in due time."
Just then, Ron came flying out of the barrier just as fast as Harry had. Paige had to jump out of the way to not get hit.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" she yelled as she picked herself up from the floor.
Ron turned around to see who had yelled. What he saw was a very pretty red headed witch with light pink robes on looking slightly perturbed. When he caught sight of Paige dusting herself off her turned a second, third and, fourth shade of red. He walked up to her slowly and said, "Blimey, I-I'm sorry."
"No big deal. Just watch where you're going next time," said Paige feeling a little bad that she had yelled at him. She watched him walk over to Harry; they took one last glance at them before getting onto the train.
After that incident they boarded the train with Dumbledore. They went all the way to the front and entered a very discreet compartment off to the side. Once they were all situated, Dumbledore began to tell them everything about Voldemort. He told them about his hatred toward muggle-borns, all of the murders he had committed, and all of the pain and devastation he had caused. Dumbledore then proceeded to tell them about Harry and the prophesy. He told them that Harry was the one the platform that had nearly run them over, and that his friend was Ron. Piper's heart broke as she listened to Harry's story. She couldn't imagine dying and having Wyatt be raised by some horrible people that treated him like scum. Then imagine him having to run away from some demon that's constantly trying to kill him. She wanted nothing more than to make sure that Voldemort died a horrible, gruesome and painful death. When Dumbledore was finished telling the girls everything he thought they needed to know, he told them that he had to return to the school and take care of some things. Phoebe's empath powers told her that it was something very important but she didn't say anything. When he was gone, Paige was the first to speak.
"Can you imagine going through all that in the first sixteen years of your life? How is he not an emotional wreck?"
"I don't know, but this Voldemort is a bastard. How can he try to murder an innocent baby?" Phoebe was obviously angry.
"See Phoebe," Piper began with a smile, "And you thought you couldn't hate anyone more than Cole."
She laughed and then said, "Yeah, well, you learn something new every day."
"I have to go to the bathroom. Can one of you come with me?" asked Paige.
Phoebe volunteered and they left Piper alone in the compartment. She couldn't stop thinking about a certain blacked haired, green eyed boy on the same train.
Out in the hallways of the train, Phoebe and Paige were
having a little trouble.
"Where did they put the bathroom on the thing?" asked Phoebe looking all around.
"I don't know but if we don't find it soon, my bladder is going to explode."
They kept walking and almost walked straight into a tall, blonde haired boy with sparkling grey eyes. He was wearing a school uniform and was looking at the two with a slight smirk on his face. "Are you lost," he asked in a slightly amused voice while looking the two up and down.
"We just need to find the bathroom," said Paige.
All of a sudden it hit Phoebe like a ton of bricks. Her empath powers were working on overdrive again but this time they weren't picking up some unknown person's headaches, they were picking up this blond teen's very inappropriate feelings towards the two witches in front of him. Phoebe's knees nearly buckled at the amount of lust she could feel coming from this kid.
He ignored Paige's statement about the bathroom and instead said, "I'm Draco Malfoy, and you are?"
"I'm Phoebe, this is Paige. It's a pleasure to meet you," she said a little too excitedly. Paige was staring to pick up what was going on and she knew that she had to get Phoebe away from this kid as soon as possible.
"Pleasure's all mine…Phoebe," he said as he took her hand and placed a kiss on it. Phoebe had to grab Paige for support, lest her legs give way.
Paige decided to put an end to this before it got out of control. "Alright, Casanova, where's the bathroom?"
Draco, not phased by this comment at all continue to practically undress Phoebe with his eyes as he jerked his thumb behind him and said, "It's down the corridor to the left."
"Thanks," said Phoebe as Paige half dragged her away.
When they got to the bathroom Phoebe let out a huge sigh. "That kid really needs to keep his hormones in check! If you could have felt the amount of lust he felt towards us…it was like grrrr," she growled suggestively.
"Phoebe, you do realize that kid was only looking at you and that he's only like sixteen, right."
"He was not looking at only me."
"If he looked at you anymore suggestively you probably would have gotten pregnant."
"You're crazy. But, hey, you can't say you didn't think he was cute."
Paige smiled wryly.
"That's what I thought."
Back in the compartment, Piper was about to fall asleep when someone came bursting in on her. It was a certain green eyed boy she had been thinking about.
"Oh, sorry," he said.
"No, Harry wait," she said as he was about to walk out of the compartment. He stopped and turned around to reveal the red head that had almost run over Paige standing behind him.
"How did you know my name?"
"Dumbledore told me. He told me a lot of things."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and sat down across from her. "I'm Piper. My sisters and I are here to help you. Paige, is the one you almost ran over (she pointed at Ron), and the other one is Phoebe."
"Nice to meet you, but help me with what?"
"Help you vanquish Voldemort."
Both of their eyes widened at what she had just said. How much had Dumbledore told her? "What else do you know?" asked Harry afraid of the answer.
"Everything."
Harry couldn't believe Dumbledore had told a complete stranger about his whole life. His angry thoughts were pushed aside when he remembered what she had done on the platform. "How did you…freeze everyone?"
"Freeze everyone? Harry, what are you talking about?" asked Ron confused.
"Like this," Piper took a galleon out of her pocket, threw it in the air and froze it.
"Bloody hell," said Ron. "You didn't even need a wand."
"I don't need a wand because I have the power inside me. My sisters each have a power too. Speaking of here they are now."
Paige and Phoebe had just opened the door to the compartment and now looked rather confused. They sat down next to Piper.
Paige recognized Ron and said, "Hey aren't you the kid who almost ran me over?"
Ron nodded sheepishly before saying, "Yeah, sorry about that."
"Paige, Phoebe, I want you to meet Harry and his friend Ron, remember Dumbledore told us about them."
Phoebe looked at Harry and Ron and understood. Comprehension dawned on her. "Oh, you poor thing!" she said.
Harry looked very embarrassed. To get the attention off of him he said, "How long is that going to stay frozen?"
"Until I unfreeze it," said Piper.
"Or until I do this," said Paige. "Gold coin." The coin orbed from the air into her hand.
"Bloody hell," said Ron for the second time.
There was a rather awkward silence after this that Piper tried to break. "So Harry, play any sports?"
Piper saw his eyes light up briefly before saying, "Yeah, me and Ron play quidditch."
"Bless you," said Phoebe.
"No, quidditch. It's a wizarding sport."
Just then the compartment door opened and a pretty witch with curly brown hair walked in. "That was not the best subject to get them started on," she said. "I'm Hermione Granger; it's nice to meet you. I've just been having a talk with Dumbledore. He told me what's going on, Harry you're so lucky to have their help." She walked over and sat next to Harry.
"Blimey, Hermione your hair," began Ron.
"What about it?"
"It's different."
"Well, thank you for noticing."
The sisters had been watching this interaction closely. It was simple to see that the three were very close. Piper interjected, "I hate to break this little reunion up but I think we're here."
They all looked out the window and saw a magnificent castle on top of a large hill. The charmed ones had laid their eyes on Hogwarts for the first time.
