"Are you sure?" Prue asked for the fifth time as the crew headed back to The Leaky Cauldron.
"Yes, Phoebe said a castle, and Hogwarts is a castle. Phoebe said a lake, Hogwarts has a lake. Phoebe said mountains, mountains help hide Hogwarts. Unless there is another castle that fits that profile. And maybe it is possible, but I can tell you this, not in Britain. And I don't think I will be traveling outside of Britain any time soon." Harry confirmed.
"Prue, they're sure, I think that they are right." Piper said.
"But, Hogwarts?" Prue said. "I have read that book five times, but this feels so different that what is in there."
"Hey, she had to change some things." Phoebe said. She was the last person in the group, trying to look at everything as she passed, but she quickly ran to catch up when she saw a shop advertising ancient eyeballs at half price. "I guess that it would make sense that it is Hogwarts, I mean that it Harry's school and all, and Ron and Hermione's too. How do you get there?"
"The train. It leaves in two days, and I can't wait." Hermione said. She opened the wall to get back into The Leaky Cauldron, and they stepped through. Immediately they were crowded with people. Dumbledore, Ron's Mother and Hagrid were all there. Faces of surprise were worn as Prue, Piper and Phoebe, and Leo stepped through. They were expecting Ron, Harry and Hermione then, but they figured that the others would be later.
"Did you catch them?" Ron's mother asked.
"No, somehow our presence changed it. It moved to Hogwarts." Phoebe explained.
"Then you shall come to Hogwarts." Dumbledore said. "There is a staff train leaving tomorrow morning. Meet me down in the pub at 5:30, and I shall escort you to the train station. I shall arrange for a room for you here." He turned and left, leaving everyone there stunned. Just like that? It was nice and easy, but you were able to trust him, the sparkle in his eyes was so trusting.
"Five thir'y? Outrage I tell you. It's too ea'ly!" Hagrid mumbled, heading up to his room.
"Bed you three. Your parents sent you this while you were out there Hermione." Ron's mother commanded, handing Hermione a parchment letter.
"Night, and thanks Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said, to Mrs. Weasley, then directed her attention to everyone else in the room. "Bye guys!"
"Night everyone." Harry said.
"Good night Mum" Ron said. The trio turned and left to get some well needed rest.
"Here are your room numbers, and I shall see you tomorrow." Dumbledore said, handing them a piece of paper, and leaving.
"Ok, we have two rooms. Phoebe, why don't you and I bunk. Leo you and Piper can bunk together." Prue ordered. They agreed.
"We have nothing to wear tomorrow, and we may have to stay there for more than a day!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"I'll orb back to the manor and get you guys clean stuff for three days," Leo said.
"Ok honey." Piper said, she gave her husband a kiss, and Leo orbed off. They turned around and headed to bed.
It was a restless night. They didn't know what was going to happen, this was unfamiliar territory. And there was quite a bit of jet lag happening. Five thirty came and the three cloggy girls, and one peppy whitelighter, came down to the pub. There they were met by more than Dumbledore and Hagrid. There were about ten others.
"Is this everyone?" Dumbledore asked. "Yes. The others stayed there over the holidays. Ok, in groups of five, and one that can drive a ministry car now." Dumbledore started to command, a few of the teachers began complaining about the time and how they couldn't apparate, and how the routine was the same every year. The Halliwells hung back in the corners, and waited for something to happen. Leo had a backpack full of clothing, as did Piper and Phoebe. In Leo's other hand was a duffel bag with even more clothes. Prue had the bag with The Book of Shadows.
"Hullo there. Dumbledore suggested that I go in your car. I can't drive a ministry car, can you?" A short little man said.
They were flabbergasted. "What's the difference between a ministry car, and a normal car?" Prue asked.
"A few buttons here and there. Not much really. I'm Professor Flitwick."
"Ok, let's go. Flitwick, your car is a muggle car!" Dumbledore said, as the groups started filing out of the pub. Prue breathed a sigh of relief, a few buttons could be dangerous.
"I'm driving!" Phoebe called to her group. Piper mumbled. She wanted to drive.
"You better not Pheebes, the drive on the opposite side of the street here." Prue said, taking the keys from her.
"Oh, like she isn't already driving on that side of the road?" Piper joked.
"Ha, ha. Fine, Prue if you would like to drive, be my guest."
"And I'll navigate." Flitwick said.
They went outside and found three cars waiting there. Two were white with black 'MM's on the side and the other was black with white 'MM' on it. "The white one is the muggle kind." Flitwick said, getting into the passenger side. "Basically, follow the black cars."
The caravan pulled out.
"I didn't get to introduce myself inside, I'm Piper."
"Phoebe."
"Leo."
"Prue."
"And I'm Flitwick. Everyone but the students call me Flitwick, the students call me Professor Flitwick. I have heard your situation. I must say that you are very brave for doing this. You magic is over shadowed by the first years here."
"You know already?" Leo asked.
"The entire staff knows. Dumbledore had us down there at five, like always because we are normally not ready to go until six, so today he explained to us your situation, and an owl was sent to the castle already."
"Wow, that man is on top of everything."
An hour later, they were standing in front of a platform barrier, between number 9 and number 10. It had only taken ten minutes to drive to the station, but Prue had to call Christopher saying she wasn't able to come in for a week, and Piper had to call the assistant manager of P3 to run the club until further notice. They stared at it, unsure what to do.
"Just walk right through it." Flitwick said.
"Through it?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, the train is on the other side." Prue looked around the barrier as discreetly as possible, half expecting to see the scarlet train on the other side, but she saw none. I should have known that you walk through the barrier. I've read the books five times, Prue thought.
"Well here goes nothing." Piper said, taking Leo's hand and disappearing into the solid barrier. Phoebe gabbed Prue's hand and did the same. At the last minute, she held her breath.
Before them stood a large scarlet train. It was large, and almost magical. Piper had to remind herself that it probably was magic. Across the front was an H with animals around it, Phoebe assumed that this was the Hogwarts emblem, for above and below it were the words "Hogwarts Express" They stared at in awe for several minutes, not knowing what else to do. The train's whistle pulled them out of their reveries. "Come on, let's go get a compartment." Prue said. She went to the back car, and there were plenty of compartments left, and she could see why. A rat went scurrying past them as they slid into a rat free compartment. They sat down, and just stared at each other in silence for several minutes. "You know what? I'm really wiped. The stupid time change screwed me up, and I didn't sleep well, so wake me up when we get there." Prue said, closing her eyes and leaning her head back.
"Piper, can I see the bag?" Phoebe asked. Piper handed her the bag that Prue had placed by her feet. Phoebe pulled out the Book of Shadows, and began to flip through the pages. "Prue grabbed it away from me before I had the chance to finish looking through this yesterday." Phoebe explained. Piper smiled and rested her head against her husbands shoulder, and decided to follow her older sister's example. Leo helped Phoebe look through the book.
"Here he is." Phoebe said, opening the book to a page with a rather handsome looking guy on it.
"Wadwork? Never heard of him." Leo said.
"Yeah well, what do you expect? And the book is being stupid and pig headed again. There is nothing here but his name and face. I love it when our ancestors were vague." Phoebe said, staring at the blank page. "Would the elders know of anything?"
"No, they have their own copy of the book up there, and yours is the best copy. If yours doesn't have anything they won't know anything." Leo said.
"Ok, but why when you orb up there you come back with more information then when you left?" Phoebe questioned.
"It's really complicated. I'm not sure, but mostly what they track up there is movement, and we have that already." Leo said.
"Ok, well, we know who he is, but we don't know why, or what he does, or any of the details. Peachy."
An old witch came around with some food later in the morning. Phoebe gladly got some, only to stare at it with curiosity. Cauldron Cakes? Chocolate Frogs? What happened to simple burgers? What happened to sandwiches? Phoebe woke Piper up to offer her some of the odd food. Taking a little nibble, Piper enjoyed it. Sparked by her delight, Phoebe too took a nibble and also enjoyed it.
"You are going to hate me Piper." Leo said.
"Now?" Piper pleaded.
"It's urgent."
"Fine. Hurry back." She kissed Leo who orbed out.
"Ask about Wadwork while you're up there!" Phoebe called to Leo as his blue orbs disappeared.
"Wadwork?" Piper asked.
"The guy from my premonition, but the book says nothing more than his name, and it has a picture of his face." Phoebe explained. She pulled the old book from the backpack, and opened up to the bookmarked page.
"Peachy. This guy looks like he could blend in easily."
"Yep."
The compartment door slid open and in walked Flitwick. "Hullo there! We will be there in ten minutes. When we arrive, I was told to tell you to find Minerva McGonagall. She will show you to the guest dormitories. I myself have to get some supplies at Hogsmede while we are there." He said. He gave a big smile for such a small man and left.
"Better prod Prue awake." Phoebe said to Piper.
