The Charmed Ones – Chapter Six
A/n: Hi! First of all a big thank you goes to all my wonderful reviewers, I love you all. I'm sorry (again!) for not posting anything, but life got in the way (YES, I DO have a life). I'm going to France this Saturday, it's still nice and warm there, so I'm very very very happy about going there. My friend called Sunday: "hey, you wanna come to France with me?" so off course my answer was yes. Maybe it's just me, but I like Christina Aguilera's new song, the video sucks, but the song doesn't, could be me…
"Next time you have a brilliant idea, remind me to kick you before completely ignoring everything you say," Piper said.
"Yeah, thanks a lot Hermione!" Phoebe added.
"How was I supposed to know that book would sing? Books don't sing!" Prue replied.
At the moment they were cleaning the floor of the Potions classroom, a first-year had kindly dropped his cauldron which contained several ingredients (such as bat spleens, squashed beetles…) onto it. The liquid he'd tried to clean it with wasn't really making you hungry either and to make it worse: it had only made the floor stickier.
"This one did!"
"And pretty off key too."
"Well, I'm sorry, I hadn't thought about Filch and his evil cat!" Prue said exasperated (funny word).
"And this floor! Doesn't it ever get cleaned? It's disgusting! Do we use this kinda things for our potions?" Phoebe asked.
"I sure hope not…"
"Be quiet in there! Or do you want to help Professor Snape prepare the ingredients for next week?" they heard the cold voice, that belonged to none other than Filch, yell.
"No, Mister Filch," they chorused before returning to their work in silence.
About five minutes of intense scrubbing later…"Kick me!" Prue nearly screamed.
"Okay," Phoebe got up and started walking over to her, but Piper stopped her.
"What's the brilliant idea?" she asked.
"Well, we're witches, well actually," Prue laughed, "I AM a witch and you're wizards," Piper and Phoebe gave her the evil eye, "but anyway we should be able to do magic."
"That's your brilliant idea??" Phoebe asked.
"No, my point is, that with magic we should be able to clean this stuff up much faster."
"And how exactly did you think we were gonna do that, when our wands are obviously broken?" Piper said.
"Uhm… I haven't figured that one out yet."
"Phoebe, kick her!"
"No wait! Maybe…" Prue grabbed her wand and pointed it at the floor, "BEGONIO!" she yelled.
…
…
After about fifty seconds something happened. First the mess started to shrink.
"YAY! You did it! I love you!" Phoebe exclaimed.
The words had only just left her mouth when all of a sudden the sticky stuff started to grow… and grow… and grow… and then turn purple…
Phoebe and Piper silently started to scrub again.
Prue looked at the floor in shock. "I'm s-"
"Shut it or be killed."

The next morning they went down for breakfast.
"So, what's our first class?" Piper asked.
Prue was looking at the schedule, "Uhm, that would be Transfiguration from someone called McGonagall, I think she's the Head of our lovely House."
"And after that we have..?"
"Charms."
"Well," Piper said, "We'd better get going if we want to be on time."
"Wait a sec!" Phoebe exclaimed, "These pancakes are really good!"
~*~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~ *~
Luckily they managed to pass Transfiguration without any kind of problems. This mainly was because McGonagall was only making them take notes.
They walked into the Charms classroom and sat at the back.
"Ok class, today we will be practising the Scriberius-spell. It makes your quill write things down when you think them. You first do a swish, then a flick while saying scriberio," Professor Flitwick told them.
"That shouldn't be too hard," Phoebe whispered to Piper.
"I'll first show you how it's done, then you try it yourself," Flitwick swished, flicked and shouted: "SCRIBERIO!" and a moment later his quill started to write. "Now you try it."
Prue, Piper and Phoebe looked at each other. Should we even try it? was the question written all over their faces.
"I'll go first," Prue said, she grabbed a quill, swished, flicked and said the magic word. The quill moved to the parchment on the table and wrote one word: COOL!
"I did it!" Prue yelled.
"Way to go!" Piper said, "Now let me try," her quill also started to write, a bit shaky, but it still wrote.
Last was Phoebe, she swished, flicked and practically screamed "SCRIBERIO!". Her quill started to write already, but not on the parchment. First it wrote all over Prue.
"HARRY! Your quill is attacking me! Get if off!" she swinged at it and it moved from her to Professor Flitwick, who was now covered in sentences like: 'oh my god!', 'why me?' and 'I'm hungry, where can I find some chocolat?'.
They finally managed to catch it and the professor announced shaking that the class was dismissed.
"That was fun, I like doing magic with a wand," Phoebe said cheerily.
