The Charmed Ones – Chapter Nine
A/n: HEY!!! Me again, pretty fast huh? Especially for me… I dunno, just felt like writing another chapter on this, even though I'm tired from staring into my ANW-book when I just had a test that took me 10 minutes about it… grrrrrrrr!!! Lots of love to the reviewing people out there *jumps on them and hugs them so hard they can't breath properly* and especially to my new brother *waves*
I CHANGED MY NAME TO THE RED TANGLED CRINKLES!!! IT'S STILL ME, JUST A DIFFERENT NAME. Alright, just thought I should tell you that…
THINGS BETWEEN ~'S ARE THOUGHTS (since colour didn't work…)
"Uhm…" Ron said, looking at the SMWEB (Scary Man With Energy Ball), "Would you like a cup of tea?"
The demon stared at her (SEE, I'm using her, I'll use that from now on for Harry and Ron, it just gets too complicated if I don't) like she'd just asked him to marry her.
"Piper!!! Freeze him! Don't act like my mother when she thinks someone's upset!" Hermione hissed.
"Right," ~I still think tea would be a better idea…~ Ron moved her hands ~Why does this look like a girl when she's waving her hands to get her nails to dry???~ and the leather-coated man froze.
"Alright," Hermione said, still glaring at Ron a bit, "Now we can look him up in the Book."
After a bit of searching – Harry discovered a new talent in this - they found the information about him. He was called…
…
…
The three of them stared at the name and then finally burst out laughing.
"FLUFFY???" Harry managed to choke out after a while.
Ron wiped away her tears, but couldn't help the giggles that still escaped her.
"Hear, it says he's a bittered demon-" Hermione began.
"No wonder with a name like that!"
"-because a couple of witches cursed him. It doesn't say what they did. We should be able to vanquish him with the Power of Three."
"Er… Right… And that would be..?" Harry asked, still grinning like mad.
Hermione sighed. "I'll explain later, let's just get him to leave first."
"Alright, so, what's the plan?" Ron asked.
"First you unfreeze him, then I'll blow him into the wall and if he doesn't just go away after that Phoebe'll give him a good kick, right Phoebe?!"
"Uhm… right?" Harry said a little unsure.
"Just try to watch were you kick him, this isn't our house, we have to be careful with the stuff."
"Oooooowkay." Harry rolled her eyes ~I'll be glad if I can even hit him, we have a demon here that could kill us in a minute with that cute little ball and she's worried about the decorations????~
Ron made the well-known move with her hands and Fluffy unfroze. Hermione immediately reacted and threw him against the wall behind him. He dropped to the ground and didn't get up.
Hermione, Harry and Ron stared at each other. What kinda demon was this??
Slowly Fluffy reached with his hand behind his head and then yelled out in pain. "OUCH!! That hurts!!!" he glared daggers at Hermione, "That wasn't very nice!"
At first Hermione was speachless, then she got angry. "It wasn't very nice of you either to just shimmer into our home and try to kill us with an energy ball!"
"It's not *my* fault," the demon said.
"Right."
"No really, I'm just being paid to do this and not very well at that."
"Uhm…"
"You think it would be a nice job, being a demon, getting hired to throw an energy ball, maybe two if the first one misses, but then at the end of the month when you have to pay the bill and your mum keeps nagging about that altar she wants in her tomb-" Fluffy just didn't stop talking.
"Uhm…" Hermione said, trying to get him to be quiet. ~How did we get stuck with this pathetic excuse for a demon??~
"Maybe you would like some tea now?" Ron tried again.
Fluffy looked up at her, "Yes, thank you, that would be nice."
"All right, come with me to the kitchen then," she cooed, helping him get up, "Maybe we have cookies too."
"PIPER!!!" Harry and Hermione snapped.
"What?" she asked, looking at them clueless.
"Could we have a word with you for a minute?" Harry didn't wait for an answer, but started dragging her towards the attic.
"Stay here and don't touch anything," Hermione told Fluffy, while taking the Book with her.
Up in the attic Harry pointed at a chair, "Sit." She told Ron.
"What?!" Ron asked, still not realising what she had done wrong.
"Okay, let me explain this to you," Hermione said, trying to stay calm, "You DON'T invite demons for tea, you DON'T treat them like a sweet little kid and you DON'T help someone who tries to kill you!!!"
"But didn't you see how sad and lonely he looked?"
"ARGH!!!"
"As far as I understand what Prue told me," Harry started, "we KILL demons. We don't make start social contacts with them!"
"What about Cole?" Ron grinned evilly.
Harry immediately paled at the mentioned of her boyfriend. "Uhm… Well… You see… Prue?"
"He isn't a normal demon, he's half human, besides, he's not evil anymore, he killed the Source for us." Two pairs of eyes were now staring at Hermione confused. "Never mind about that last part, the point is: he's a good guy now."
"Thank you," Harry said looking smugly at Ron.
"Why are you looking like that?" Ron asked grinning, then she added in her sing-song voice: "He's still a gu-uy!"
"Oh, be quiet, you don't have to rub it in like that, it's bad enough already," Harry expression had turned to cranky.
"Uhm… Let's go downstairs okay?" Hermione suggested.
"Sure."
"Fine."
End of Chapter Nine
A/n: Fluffy (lol)… I just couldn't resist, I'm weird, I know, I'll explain in the next chapter (that would be chapter 11, since chapter 10's gonna be about the real Charmed girls). I probably could have done that now, but I can barely keep my eyes open and it just wouldn't come out right if I did it now. Oh, just one more thing: you should really listen to Michelle Branch's cd, I listened to it the whole time I was writing this J
