Charming Hogwarts*~~ (or at least the males there.)

Chapter 5*~~

Hmm, A Heap Of Love To Anyone Who Can Think Of A Name!!!*~~

Paige smiled as the Gryffindor sixth years walked in. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took seats right at the front. "Eager?" asked Paige.

"We've heard a lot of rumors about you," Ron said truthfully.

"Mostly sex related," muttered Hermione as she searched her big bag for a book.

"We were wondering if you could set them straight," Harry said. The rest of the class had seats now.

"Yeah, people say you're a muggle because they've never seen you use a wand," Lavender said.

"And that you had sex with Dumbledore to get the position," Dean said. Hermione flung a paper ball at him.

"That was utterly revolting, Thomas," Ron said with a shiver,

"I was the one getting referred to, think about the image flash I got. Oh great, there it goes again," Paige moaned. She clutched her heart and fell to the floor. She hopped up again and smoothed her grey and maroon checkerboard pants.

"So?" Parvati prompted.

"So what?"

"Why is it that you are so different than anyone we've ever met?" asked Harry, eyes calm and unmoving. She met his gaze steadily.

"I was born thinking I was a... muggle, as you say. But I had been a witch all along. I was the forbidden daughter of my mother, who was a powerful witch, and her whitelighter. A whitelighter is a guardian that can heal and can orb to places. It's along the lines of apparating.

"Anyways, a love between a whitelighter and his charge was forbidden until my sister Piper, who I only found out was my sister a few years ago after our oldest sister Prue was murdered, and her love Leo came along. Leo is our whitelighter. He is also my brother-in-law and the father of my nephew, you know Wyatt. The Elders were pissed with all of his, but none of us give a crap.

"I'm something they call Charmed. Not only do I need no wand to generate my power but being Charmed means I have a gift. As the third sister I have the power to move things with my mind. Prue had the same power, just slightly different.

"Also, seeing as my father was a whitelighter, one that happens to be seriously screwed up right now but whatever, I have the powers of a whitelighter. In otherwords I can heal and I can orb.

"So, next rumor?" Paige said casually. As most of the class absorbed what she said Hermione raised her hand. "Yes?"

"Why does Snape hate you?" asked Hermione.

"Hmm, Stick-Up-His-Ass Snape? Well I really have no idea. Probably because I dress like a muggle and maybe he knows that Leo is my brother-in- law. He and Leo never, erm, got along, per say. In fact I think Leo may have gotten a little out of hand," Paige said.

"Why are you teaching here if you have a different kind of magic?" asked Lavender.

"Because I'm pathetic and couldn't get a job. Leo got this one for me. I spent two weeks cramming wizarding crap into my head and now I'm a dictionary." Everyone turned to Hermione.

"Oh, fuck off," she spat. Their eyes widened. "For Merlin's sake, I'm a human, I swear. Get over it, honestly." Paige laughed lightly.

"Now, down to business. You, oh great class of questions, have been selected to study demons," Paige watched them carefully. "You seem very curious as to my magic so I'll let you explore it.

"My sisters and I fight demons with our powers. And then there's the occasional source and Pheobe's ex-husband, or boyfriend or whatever, from hell that pops in to screw off."

"Right," Ron muttered.

"So, we'll begin with Shaques. (Shacks) He's the first demon I fought and he's the one that killed Prue. I never met her because my sisters only found out about me because Prue died. Here," Paige reachedinto her bag and pulled out some papers.

******************

Ginny sighed as Hermione finished telling her the story. "Do you think she'd heal Harry?" she asked. Ginny had told her what was going on with Harry in an attempt for help.

"We could try," Hermione said uncertainly.

"Let's just wait a week to see what happens," Ginny suggested. Hermione nodded as the two boys wondered over. Ron picked Hermione up and set her at the chess board.

"What do you say mate, me and Mione against you and Gin," Ron said to Harry. He laughed and pulled Ginny up, wincing slightly. "That's it, what he hell is wrong with you?"

Harry looked at Ginny but she met his eye steadily. "I... my uncle got mad and threw me into a tool cart nd out of a window and I broke some of my ribs," Harry said tiredly.

"HAROLD JAMES POTTER!" Hermione yelled.

"What?"

"God, how long did you figure you'd keep it from me and Ron. I mean Ginny knew and Gin told me but poor Ron!" Hermione chastised.

"It isn't a real big deal, for Merlin's sake," Harry muttered.

"You are very lucky that I'm a prefect sitting next to two other prefects or you, Prefect Potter would be one prefect with his ass kicked," Ron said. "Now, I will whoop your ass at chess."

*********************

Paige came in and sat down at the Head Table. She sent a smile to four Gryffindor prefects. They grinned back before returning to their conversation. Hermione seemed to be talking with a little anger as Harry looked abashed.

Then Hermione rolled her eyes and flung some butter at him. He returned the favor. Paige shook her head. She felt someone sit down next to her and she turned. It was a man a little older than she was. He seemed about 28. His brown hair was streaked with white.

"You must be the new Defense teacher," he said. "I'm Remus Lupin." (I don't give a shit if he's older than that, Lily got pregnant at 17 even though that still doesn't work *pouts* just go with it)

"Mm, the infamous Professor Lupin," Paige said, smiling.

"Something Padfoot will never let me forget," Remus muttered.

"Hmm?

"Oh, nothing. I take it you're Professor Mathews?"

"Paige is just fine," Paige said. (NO! it was Snape! lol) "So, from what I hear, you're a werewolf?" Remus went red and looked away.

"Yes," he said quietly.

"He, I've been and seen worse. Take Snow White for example. Or maybe not, she is rather pretty, whatever," Paige said shaking her head.

"What are you doing here Lupin?" sneered Snape's cold voice.

"Eating, though seeing you has disturbed my appetite," Remus replied. Paige snorted.

"Mathews," hissed Snape.

"Yes?"

"Go to hell," he said.

"I've been there, though Phoebe was queen for a while. You know, I'd actually prefer not to see Cole again, thank you very much," Paige replied as she took a sip of Dr. Pepper that she had put in her goblet.

"Bye now, Greaseball," Remus said. Snape stalked away. "God, that God damned man will never give up on revenge, pity, this means I have to make him look like a fool." Remus, however, didn't look the least bit sorry.

"So, is there a reason why I was graced with your presence?" asked Paige.

"Actually there is," Remus said sheepishly.

"Yes?"

"I hear that you know a lot about hair dyes and what not. You obviously see my problem," Remus said evenly. She nodded and handed him a vile.

"Tap it three times with your wand, say your hair color, take a shower and use that. It'll be good as new," Paige said.

"The fact you carry hair dye with you is a little disturbing," Remus said, shuddering. Paige grinned.

"It was the product of a potion gone wrong. My brother-in-law was merciless about it," Paige said. "So, if you don't mind, what brings you here?"

"Dumbledore asked if I would consider the position of Astronomy teacher. I've accepted as the current professor wishes to retire ASAP."

"Guess that means I'll be seeing a lot of you," Paige said smiling.

"Too bad, eh?" Remus said, grinning. They talked all through dinner and as Paige was walking with him to him rooms on the top floor he asked her a question. "Would you consider going to Hogsmede for dinner tomorrow?" he asked shyly.

"I'd love to but I promised to eat at home tomorrow. You could come too though," Paige said at his sad look.

"Really? Well, as long as you don't serve wolf or venison..."

"I get the wolf but why not venison?"

"It's kind of like eating a best friend. Trust me, you're better off not knowing," Remus said. E kissed her cheek and walked into his rooms with a cheery wave.

Paige smiled as she orbed to her room, not minding if anyone saw her. 'I guess love shows up in unusual places...'
