AN- By the way in the last chapter Ron talks about less Snape well I totally forgot about OWLS then planned them and got confused and still trying to work it out. But I worked it like this you need two OWLS to take NEWT's potions and Ron only got one so he has no Snape so sorry about that, but both Harry and Hermione do. Heheheh Harry got three in DADA and Hermione got two lol. And Ron got one in Divination lol. Okay sorry about all that I'll try not to mess myself up again but may happen, I can be a bit of a ditz at sometimes :D sorry
Harry sat at the kitchen table, Hermione had just handed him his Hogwarts letter before tearing into her own revealing, of course her Prefects badge, Ron to had opened his showing his own badge. Last year Dumbledore had said that he hadn't chosen Harry as Perfect because he thought that Harry wouldn't want the extra responsibility, and maybe he didn't but now without Sirius to turn to Harry didn't want to be separated from Ron and Hermione, they were all he had left.

He looked around the kitchen at his two best friends, like him they had begun to change over this summer. Ron had sprouted up again, now taller than Harry, his face had become slightly more squared off a clear sign of the man that he would come to be in a few years time. His shoulders were, like his face slightly more squared but he still looked like and acted like Ron, as if last year had never happened. Hermione had been off visiting relatives in the States and she had come back changed. However, the biggest change was that her hair had become more controllable and it fell it soft waves, a deep rich brown that fell just below her shoulders. Like his friends, Harry too had begun to change; he was beginning to grow into himself. He no longer looked so lanky and scrawny, he look leaner than before still thin but not quite so thin and scrawny.

"Harry, are you gonna open or letter or stare off in space all day?" asked Ron

"What? Oh yeah right" he replied, Harry opened his own letter, which felt strangely heavy for some unknown reason. He opened it and nearly dropped it in surprise; he reached in and pulled out a prefect's badge. "But how...I mean there's only suppose to be 2 prefects per house per year... right?"

"Yeah" replied Ron, "You think that Dumbledore has made a mistake and sent out one to many?"

"No Ron look at the letter that has been sent along with the prefect badges," said Hermione as she continued to read the letter. Due the true verification last year of the return of Voldemort, we at Hogwarts feel that added protection is needed. In order to provide this we are bring to the school the Charmed Ones from across the ocean. We are also creating new prefect positions to allow more the more qualified students at the school a chance to aid in its protection. These students will work with the Charmed Ones who will attend prefect meetings to aid in the defence of our school and improve their magic skills. We will continue having two fifth year prefects from each house but we will now have three sixth year and seventh year prefects along with the head boy and head girl positions. This will allow us to always have patrols on going in the hall ways after hours." Hermione looked up at the two boys who were both in shock. "It says that patrol groups will be arranged at the first prefect meeting but can you guys believe that?"

"Well," started Harry, "It would explain why he selected me as a third prefect."

"Well now the three of us will be together through everything, plus we also get to work with the Charmed Ones." Hermione cut in.

"Who?" Ron questioned.

"The Charmed Ones, they're three sisters who...in.... legend f-fight against evil force but their as far as I knew were only myth" Hermione seemed to stutter causing Harry and Ron to look at her strangely, Hermione stuttering was not normal. "Oh look there's Ginny."

"Hey Hermione look I got a Prefects badge" said Ginny walking up to the trio who had exited the house.

"Really! That's great Ginny," Hermione said as the Mrs. Weasley made her way over to them.

"So Harry dear, you got the third prefect spot," Mrs. Weasley spoke gleefully. "That's wonderful, the three of you being back together again, lovely. Really, I think that it's a good thing; a little responsibility never hurt anyone. It helps them learn how to make better decisions for themselves, its done Ron a world of good I'm sure".

"Hey" Ron replied as Hermione and Ginny both began to giggle at what Mrs. Weasley said.

"Well Ron you must admit that you have become a lot more responsible now" she said quite simply, "right now though I have to go and make dinner, tomorrow we'll go and get your books". Both Harry and Hermione we taking different classes than Ron because both of them had received enough owls to take the NEWT courses for potions while Ron had not. The four of them sat down to talk, Harry pretending to be interested in what they were talking about but his mind kept wandering to Sirius. The others had tried to talk to him about it but none of them could understand and Harry continually held his feelings in.

The girls sat in their own common room at the castle, the professor had given them a suit type for a room. When you entered through the portrait of their own ancestor Melinda Warren. They entered into a large room with a fireplace, a large couch, coffee table, a few chairs, desk and a stand for the book of shadows. A small kitchen area for Piper to still be able to do what she loved, cook. There was a large window across from the door and to each side there were four doors. A three of the doors led into bedroom, in Piper and Leo's room had a smaller one off it for Wyatt's nursery.

Each of the girls were working on their own lesson plans. They had decided that because of Phoebe's small problem with her new empathy power it would be best if she worked with someone else there so she and Hagrid were working together for care of magical creatures which now also include Wiccan creatures such as white lighters and leprechauns, mainly good creature. Piper was teaching Defence against the Dark arts for the Wiccan side while they had a new Professor for the regular. Piper would deal with teaching them about utilizing powers they have or potions for protection how to fight different demons. Paige was going to have one of the hardest tasks because she was going to determine which students, if any had Wiccan powers and Leo would help her with that and she would teach them how to make certain potions for vanquishing and write spells even if they couldn't do them. Also how to use potions to make up for not having Wiccan powers, she had, had to learn quickly so they felt she would be good to work with the students trying to learn.

"Well I think that we should get ready and head down to the great hall, Albus said that the students would be arriving at about 5pm and that's in 45 minutes. So the girls each disappeared into their rooms to get ready. Each wore robes over top of their regular clothes; Phoebe wore pale yellow robes with red trim and a red belt. Paige wore a pale pink that she wore open to show a dress that fell knee length flaring slightly going from dark pink at the top to light pink at the bottom. Piper wore a simple deep burgundy robe with bell sleeves, all three decided against the hats. Leo, who had been in their room with Wyatt, wore his White Lighter robes leaving the hood down. A house elf named Dobby had volunteered along with another, Winky to look after Wyatt while they were at the feast.

The four made their way through the halls still amazed at the moving paintings and ghost. Unfortunally for them they ran into Peeves in the halls.

"Well looky here...it's the three newbie's" "What the heck is that?" questioned Paige "I have no idea, should blast it?" Piper asked "That is Peeves," said Leo, "resident poltergeist here specializes in causing problems" "Well aren't you the smart one... how do you feel about water?" he questioned bring out a water balloon. "Don't even think about it, I just put my mascara on" said Paige "Well then," Peeves flung the water balloon at Paige, but before it could hit her, Piper froze it. "You ruined my fun" he whined "Fun? You want fun. How's this for fun? WATER BALLOON" with a quick movement of her hand Paige sent the balloon back at Peeves soaking him. "Paige did you have to make such a mess." Said Piper "Come on he was gonna throw it at us" "Would you two quite that, lets get to the feast make an appearance so I can leave, I don't want to be responsible for attacking any students" exclaimed Phoebe as she continued forward. "About that I've talked to Albus and he said that his potion master Severus Snape might have something to help you, block your powers enough to allow you to only use them when you need them or when you want to" "Really Leo?" Phoebe's eyes light up like a child's on Christmas morning.

They entered the great hall and walked up to the heads table, there were four empty seats next to one that was reserved for Hagrid and they sat down next to his. All the other seats but one next to Leo at the end were full and it was soon filled by a very Shabby looking Wizard who introduced himself to Leo and the girls as Remus Lupin.

A Few minutes later, a large group of teenagers walked in once they had all taken their seats, Professor McGonagall rose and left the room Hagrid came in and sat down. McGonagall came in with a group of young first years ready to be sorted. The sorting itself was calm for the most part excepted that after the fifth student was sorted Piper had to freeze Phoebe below the neck so she didn't bounce herself out of her seat with the excitement she was feeling from each student, needless to say Phoebe had been getting so very strange looks during those first five. When it was over and Phoebe unfrozen Paige and Piper heard her mutter, "I'm never going to get through this year" causing Paige to choke on the Pumpkin juice she found quite tasty.

"Welcome back to those of you who have returned and welcome to all new comers" began Dumbledore, standing for his yearly beginning speech. "Yes once again I must remind you all that the forest on the school grounds is strictly forbidden. As many of you know we have yet to have a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher stay for more than one year in row for quite sometime, so this year I would like to welcome back Professor Lupin who worked here three years ago." Dumbledore waited for the cheering to stop before continuing, "This year for 5th years and above we have three new teachers here to aid us in learning a new craft of magic, may I introduce Professor Phoebe Halliwell, Professor Piper Halliwell, Professor Paige Matthew and Professor Leo Wyatt, now I believe the best thing to say is Tuck in everyone." He concluded as food magically appeared in front of everyone and the feast began.
