A/n: I hope you all like this so far! And I also hope that my character isn't too Mary Sue for you. I realize that all my characters are Mary Sue but deal with it. I'll try later for less Mary Sue. Any way, I'm sure you're all dying to know what happens.

The four girls sat in the living room. Piper, Pheobe and Paige waiting anxiously for an explanation from this new girl Willow.
"I know you guys are the Charmed Ones." Willow said. The three sisters looked at each other which caused Willow to think that wasn't the best way to start out. "I need help with this spell I'm working on."
"What kind of spell is it?" Pheobe asked with interest.
"It's sort of a locator spell but not." Willow said. She went on to explain about Buffy and the potentials becoming Slayers. "See I've been reading about these different spells that can reveal a person's aura but I need one that covers the world." Willow reached into her bag and pulled out all the research she'd done at Angel's hotel. Paige picked up Willow's notebook and started flipping through it.
"Why don't we go get something to eat?" Pheobe suggested. "We can talk about this some more, my treat." Everyone agreed so the four left for a restaurant.

"How? Why? What's going on?" Adalaide yelled to Leo. She refused to move from her spot. "I mean, this is the weirdest dream I've ever had." She laughed to herself.
The three males looked at her with funny expressions on their faces. Harry was the first to speak.
"This isn't a dream." He said. Somewhere inside him he was a little hurt that she felt that way but he couldn't explain why.
"Um, yeah it is." Adalaide replied. "I mean, how else would you explain me being about to travel across the ocean without even knowing it?"
Leo looked hurriedly at the robed men. "We'd better go. I'll explain once we get back to the Manor." He motioned for Adalaide to come to him.
"And how are we getting to the Manor?" She asked sarcastically. "Are we gonna fly?!" She laughed. He shook his head.
"I know it's weird but we need to get out of here." Leo said urgently.
Well, since it is a dream and all, I guess it can't hurt now can it? Adalaide thought to herself. She walked to Leo while Harry stared at her like she had three heads. It was rather unnerving. Adalaide could hear a distant noise, as if someone was calling her from really far away. It grew louder as Leo placed a hand on her shoulder and the park seemed to dissolve in blue lights.
"Adalaide! You can't possibly be tired again, you slept until what noon! You better get up before mom gets really mad. She's been calling you to come downstairs for like five minutes." Christine yelled. She had a smile on her face though. She always enjoyed seeing Adalaide getting in trouble. Adalaide sat upright and looked around her room. She knew it'd all been a dream. She jumped out of her bed and practically skipped down the stairs.
I need to stop watching so much TV, she said to herself, I'm getting way too many strange ideas.

Sirius, Harry, and Leo arrived in the kitchen of the Manor. Leo looked around himself.
"Where's Adalaide?" he asked frantically. Oh no, I dropped her somewhere, she could be anywhere, he thought to himself, that poor girl she's probably scared out of her mind.

"Adalaide," Mrs. McGregger said as Adalaide bounced into the front hall of their house. "The Halliwells called while you were sleeping. They want you to go over to their house as soon as possible. I'm going to meet some business people for a few early drinks."
"Okay, bye mom." Adalaide said. Mrs. McGregger left out of the door without another word to her daughter. Adalaide smiled to herself as she opened the front door and went into the blinding light of the California sun. She ran across the street and up the front steps to the Halliwell house. She knocked loudly on the door and waited for an answer. Leo answered the door and Adalaide laughed.
"Mr. Wyatt, it's the funniest thing, I was napping and I had the weirdest dream with you in it." Adalaide said as she walked into the now familiar house. "There were a group of men in robes, and a boy my age named.." Adalaide hesitated as two people emerged into the front hall, "HARRY!" Leo grabbed Adalaide's shoulders from behind causing her to jump slight.
"Are you okay? Nothing's injured is it?" He asked with genuine concern.
"I'm fine, but does anyone want to explain?" Adalaide responded. She was being a lot ruder then she normally was but this was very confusing. Harry nodded.
"Yes, please." He said. "Sirius, you're supposed to be dead!" Harry turned to Sirius with slightly angry eyes.
"Tell me about it." Sirius responded. Leo interrupted however.
"Why don't we all just go and sit down and we'll explain everything." Leo said now that he had calmed down a little bit. He pushed Adalaide and Harry into the living room and the two plopped down onto the couch. Adalaide made notice of how close they were sitting and how his leg was touching hers. It would have been a bigger deal if she was so confused at the moment. Adalaide looked to Leo and this other man for answers.
"Well, it's rather complicated and I didn't want to tell you anything until we were sure but I guess I have to now. I mean there's no other way." Leo mumbled. "I'm a whitelighter."
"A what?" Adalaide asked. She had never heard the word before.
"It's kinda like a guardian angel for witches and future whitelighters." Leo explained. Adalaide laughed. She couldn't help herself. He was just so serious yet what he was saying was ridiculous.
"Right, like there are really witches going around turning people into frogs or toads or whatever." Adalaide rolled her eyes. "Give me a break, I'm not stupid."
"There really is magic out there." Harry said. Adalaide looked at him. "I'm a wizard." Adalaide laughed yet she noted the hint of a blush appearing on Harry's cheeks and she couldn't help thinking how adorable it was.
"And I'm the Queen of England." Adalaide said sardonically. She must have spent way too much time with her sister to have picked up some of this stuff.
"And," Leo said, not wanting to argue, "We think that you're a witch." Adalaide stopped laughing and was completely silent for a whole minute. Then she got on her feet suddenly and made for the door.
"You're all crazy, you've gonna insane." She mumbled as she shook her head and made her way for the door. I'm never babysitting for them again, she thought.
"Adalaide wait." Leo called. Adalaide stopped at looked at him. "There's a little bit more." Adalaide considered it for a second.
"Sure, why not. I could use a good story." She replied and took her seat next to Harry again. He seemed to be looking at her in a new light.
"Well, I or we, also think that you could possibly be my and Piper's daughter." Leo said and waited for a response.
"Prove it." Adalaide responded.
"Well, we can't. Not really." Leo said and Adalaide stood and headed for the door. Leo sighed in defeat. Harry was torn. One part of him was dying to talk to his god father, yet the other part wanted to run after Adalaide and show her magic. When Harry looked, Adalaide was already out the door. He turned and looked at Sirius.
"What happened to you?" Harry asked him. Sirius sighed and sat down facing Harry. Leo sat down as well but his eyes were filling with tears and they were glued to the window watching Adalaide run home.
"I died." Sirius replied. "I died in the Department of Mysteries like you saw. However, I didn't stay dead. Leo here recruited me to be a whitelighter. So here I am."
"Are you my whitelighter?" Harry asked. Leo had said that whitelighters guard witches so wouldn't they guard wizards as well.
"No, you don't have one." Sirius answered. "It's a different type of witch." Harry was filling with anger now. If Sirius was still alive, then why didn't he come and talk to me? He thought. He owes me that. Harry was sure that Sirius had been watching him on those nights that he had spent in the park. He hated that people could watch him but he could communicate back with them.
"Why didn't you come see me?" Harry burst standing on his feet now. He was sick of being protected so much.
"I came to see you, I watched you many nights when you went out by yourself. I just couldn't talk to you." Sirius said with pleading eyes. He looked to Leo. "He can't go back now, somehow they've found him. He'll be dead within the minute if he goes back now." Harry looked to Leo and back to Sirius. His anger erupted inside him and he tore through the house and out the front door. Sirius stood to follow him but Leo held him back.
"Let him go." He said. "He'll come back."

Adalaide hadn't gone home. She needed to think. She was circling the neighborhood thinking. She looked to the sky for answers. The sun was slowly descending behind the clouds as the day grew old. She touched her cross necklace. It never left her, even when she slept.
"Oh God." She spoke aloud. "Is it true? Can I be a, a…?" She faltered, what if someone heard her. "I mean isn't that going against everything you taught us?" She sighed and wiped a tear from her eye. She shook herself mentally. Why am I so emotional about this, it can't possibly be real. She thought. The sun was almost gone now and Adalaide looked around her.
"Where am I?" She thought. She'd been wondering aimlessly for who knows how long and she didn't know how she was going to find her way back. She stopped and stood in the middle of the sidewalk with her arms wrapped around herself. For summer in California, it seemed unseasonable cool. It must just be the wind. A voice from behind her spooked her in the growing darkness.
"Adalaide." A male voice whispered softly. She turned to find Harry standing there. Adalaide quickly wiped her tears away.
"Yeah?" she asked. He just looked at her for a second and Adalaide felt a strange urge to run into his arms.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he took a step closer.
"I guess so." She replied, shivering from the harsh wind. "I'm just confused." Harry made an un-explained movement.
"I'm torn." Adalaide continued. "I'm torn between knowledge that Leo is a nice guy who wouldn't really want to do any harm and the doubtless truth that magic isn't real. It can't be. If it was real, then it must be evil." Harry seemed to pull away slightly.
"Do you think I'm evil?" He asked. Adalaide shook her head and shivered once more.
"Then believe that magic isn't evil." Harry said. He pulled out his wand and took a step toward Adalaide but she stepped away. She stared frightened at the stick.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"I'm gonna show you some magic." He replied. "Lumos." He said and the tip of his wand lit up. Adalaide wasn't impressed.
"Wow, you turned on a flashlight." She said.
"It's not a flashlight." He said. "Here, look." Adalaide moved closer and their foreheads touch slightly as the both looked down at the wand. "It's a wand." Adalaide could feel his breath quicken and she looked and him. Maybe it is real, she thought to herself.
"Do you know the way back to the Manor?" She asked worriedly. Harry shook his head. However a voice from the dark replied.
"I do." Leo emerged from the darkness. Adalaide smiled and he smiled back. He led the way silently. When they got to the Manor, Piper, Pheobe and Paige were waiting anxiously for Adalaide. As well as a guy with long white hair and a beard that was named Professor Dumbledore.
