A/N: Seeing that there are three sisters to do, this is going to be hard, so I'll probably keep my eye on Piper and Phoebe, sorry for Paige's fans, I'll try to include her as much as I can!! But I've made Piper a big main character. I'm sorry!!!! And I apologize about giving James the Prefect badge instead of Lupin, I told you I haven't touched that fifth book after Sirius fell through the veil (he could still be alive!) I forgot and again I'm sorry. I've worked out the whole badge thing out in the upcoming chapter.

I'm rereading all of the books now so that my information can be more consistent(including the fifth one…grrr), but if it isn't, plz don't jump on me, but I don't mind you telling me what's wrong. I don't mind constructive criticism, but no total out flames. Oh and does anyone know Tonks' last name?

Chapter 4: Troublesome Four

(Piper's way of seeing things. It isn't her P.O.V b/c I didn't write it in first person)

The charmed ones awaited as their students walked into the classrooms (Paige's class being outside). Piper slowly walked around the classroom, observing her students as they filed in loudly. All of them were excitedly talking, but many of the boys had to do a double take on her. The students picked a desk to sit at. Piper looked at the paper on her desk to tell her what two houses would be coming together for her first period class. Gryffindor and Slytherin, 7th year were written across the top of the attendance paper. Piper released a low sigh hoping her first class wouldn't be all that bad.

Most of the students were now situated except for four in the back. Two more students walked through the door. She instantly remembered the face, but not his name. The boy had his blondish white hair pulled back into a ponytail as the same girl with intense blue eyes practically clung to him. As the boy made his way around the room for two seats in the middle row, he brushed against the dark haired boy with glasses. He made no intentions of apologizing.

The dark haired boy acted as if it never happened, but one of his friends watched until the guy sat down. Piper took it upon herself to do something before he'd do something wrong. She casually leaned against her desk, with her hand poised the top. She pretended to clear her throat to get the boys in the back attentions. "Excuse me, I expect you guys don't want to be late now do you?" She asked.

The boys looked up from their snickering. The boy with brown hair responded first. "Late? How is that when we are in the classroom?"

Piper slightly smiled. "If you aren't in your seats before the bell rings, then I'll consider you late." Just as Piper finished her sentence, the bells had ringed. A few girls snickered. Piper cocked her head slightly. The pudgy kid made his way quickly to his seat as the others didn't move as fast. "Thank you, considering it to be the first day, I won't count it, but I expect you to be in your seats next time." Piper picked up the parchment that had the attendance on it. "Okay…since I don't know any of you, I'll just ask you're name and check you off. This way I'll get to know who you are."

The same kid that had questioned her about being late raised his head. Piper called on him. "You may get our names, but what is yours'?" He asked with a small smirk.

"Miss. Halliwell."

"There are three of you; can we call you by your first name?" He asked.

Piper sighed. "Fine with me. You can call me Piper." The boy smiled from his success. "Alright," she looked at the attendance, "Nymphadora Beclan?" Piper thought that was a weird name, but took it to be a girl's name.

The girl raised her hand. "I prefer Tonks…" She said. Piper looked at the girl's crazy spiked purple hair, she had gray eyes that matched. Piper nodded, changing the name on the paper. She looked back up at Tonks to move on, but noticed that it was now blonde and curly and her eyes weren't gray anymore, but a hazel color. Piper thought that she had been imagining things. Students around Tonks began snickering. Piper shook her head, moving the image from her mind, then she looked at the attendance once more. "Sirius Black." The boy that had talked to her about the bell raised his hand, he was smiling, then it turned into laughing with the whole class.

Piper looked around again and her eyes had fallen down onto a girl with a very large wide nose. The girl's eyes were so droopy that she couldn't see the eye color. The girl had black long hair with a few gray streaks in it. Piper didn't know it was possible for a girl her age to have gray hair. Piper looked around again because she didn't even remember the girl coming in. Piper didn't see Tonks anymore and Piper's face became confused. "Alright, alright…" Piper said trying to die the laughter down. She walked over to the droopy eyed girl. "Where did you come from?"

The girl looked saddened. "Y-you never noticed me?" Her eyes were getting teary eyed. Piper didn't know what to do exactly.

"It's not that I didn't, it's just that I don't remember you coming in." The class laughed harder as the girl broke out into crying. Piper stood speechless, unsure of what to do.

While Piper stood, wondering what to do with the girl, a knock came from the door. "Come in."

Professor Dumbledore stepped into the room and the students' laughter instantly ceased. Piper looked down at the now silent girl. She had raven black hair with green eyes, her nose wasn't so big, but actually narrow boned. Piper sighed, not liking the way her day was already beginning. Dumbledore quickly looked over the class, and then he finally ended his gaze on Piper then lowered them further on Tonks. "I heard quite a commotion in here. Tonks, I'll just ask once this year, please keep to one look while in your classes. It would be a help to and for everyone." A few snickers escaped the lips of more students. Piper looked down at Tonks, "Miss Halliwell, may I please have a word with you?" Piper was slightly apprehensive, but she needed someone to watch the class.

"I'll be there in a minute Professor. I need someone to watch the class." Dumbledore headed out the door to wait patiently as the students shot their hands in the air to volunteer. She noticed that Sirius was eagerly waving his.

She quickly looked around and her eyes caught the two prefect badges. She waved for the one with black hair and glasses to come up. "Could you please watch the class until I return?" He nodded and got up. He began walking confidently, until he abruptly fell to the floor. The class broke out into laughter. Piper noticed that the blond haired kid had his foot sticking out with a smirk on his face.

He looked down the black haired boy. "Oh, I'm so sorry Potter, next time; you may want to watch where you're going." Potter grunted. Before getting up, he moved his wand in front of the blonde haired boy's shoe. Piper heard him whisper something, but she didn't understand it. The blonde haired kid didn't seem to notice what James did while he snickered and joked for a second with his friends. Sirius was slightly smiling, obviously trying not to laugh. Potter got up and wiped his robe from the dust. Piper thought that James would continue his way to the front, but he looked at the blonde haired kid.

"Lucius, you did that on purpose," Potter lightly tapped his prefect badge with his wand, "and since I'm a prefect this year, you get detention." Many of the students' mouths dropped and murmurs began. Piper wasn't sure if prefects were allowed to give out detention to other prefects. Potter knew what he was doing and saying. He knew it sounded ridiculous, but he needed his small plan to work.

"You can't do that! He's a prefect too, you idiot!" The Slytherins called out.

Lucius stood up to face Potter, but James noticeably stepped back. "I told you to watch where you were going Potter. My foot was resting there as it is now at my own liberty. Be that as it may, you cannot give out punishment to a prefect. Only administrators can." James took the last step he could; a desk behind him prevented him from moving further.

Piper was amused by what was going on, but she was also quite worried that Dumbledore would get impatient, but she noticed that she was wrong as she saw that Dumbledore was talking to someone in the hallway through the door window. Lucius began talking more before she could intervene. "What are you doing Potter? Why are you moving back? Afraid of me?" Some of the Slytherins smiled.

James shook his head and responded, "The only thing that you frighten me with is your face and lack of intelligence of the monthly holidays and occasions. I don't see why you're wearing that ugly mask you call a face when it isn't Halloween." During this time, Lucius began gritting his teeth with anger. He snarled having nothing more to say and moved forward at Potter, but began to fall to the floor. His foot was stuck to the floor causing the imbalance of body weight.

Piper gasped and she threw her hands up, freezing Lucius in mid-air. She didn't freeze anyone else at the time having to spend her concentration on him. Gryffindors snorted with laughter as they saw the expression on Lucius's face as he was falling. The Slytherins were in a state of shock while a few of their own tried not to laugh.

Sirius got up from his chair and began making faces at Lucius, knowing that he'd get no response from the boy. Lucius's eyes had widen and looked as if they were about to pop out while his mouth gaped open. Lucius' hands were stretched in front of him hoping to break the fall. His head was also right in front of the desk that Potter was stopped by. Piper noticed that he had quickly moved so that his head would hit the desk. Some students weren't laughing, such as a boy who had dirty blonde hair. Piper realized he was one of Potter's friends.

The friend had stared at Piper in amazement at first. Then the boy got up, wiping the expression from his face. "James, you shouldn't have done that." He warned.

James just sighed. "Remus, he gets what he deserves. I do have to say that some people don't deserve the prefect badge."

Remus looked at James with a small frown and said in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, I believe that some PEOPLE (very sarcastically said) don't deserve the badge as well." Sirius held his hand over the back of Lucius's head. Remus slightly elbowed Sirius in the side to keep him from pushing Lucius down.

"The bloke needs a slap in the head if you ask me." Sirius responded. The students calmed down, but some were wondering how Piper had frozen Lucius in place without a wand, though they said nothing. The pudgy kid had moved away from his desk, realizing that Lucius would hit his desk in the fall. The kid said nothing as he watched his three friends.

Piper realized that she needed to hurry up and get Lucius up before he'd become unfrozen and fall. "Help me sit him down James and Remus."

Sirius's mouth dropped. "Let him fall." He had said.

Piper sighed while the boys tried to sit Lucius down, but his foot wouldn't move. Remus bent down and muttered "Scurgify." He then tapped his wand on Lucius's foot. The foot gave way and it finally let the boys make Lucius sit down. Remus and James were finally successful at getting Lucius properly in his seat; they sat down, waiting for what was next to happen. Piper was waiting for Lucius to move again, but she remembered what Sirius had last said. "Sirius, I couldn't have let Lucius fall."

"Yeah because you're on their side." The room fell silent from the comment. Dumbledore opened the door and peeked into the classroom.

"Professor Halliwell, it seems something has come up and it must be immediately taken care of. After the classes end or during lunch period, I would like to ask that Remus Lupin and James Potter come to my office. Piper would you be kind to escort them, security purposes as you should know." She knew she had to give the gargoyle the password. Piper gave a small nod in response, and then he left. She was relieved that she didn't have to worry about Dumbledore at the time. She had enough to worry about on her hands.

Sirius and Piper were now the only ones standing in the silent classroom. She hadn't understood how she was on 'their' side. She didn't even know who 'they' were! "What do you mean?!" She asked.

"You're on Slytherins' side. You are if you helped him from falling. You didn't have to help him. You could've bloody hell pretended to have reacted late and not have frozen him." Piper was taken aback by his language in front of her, and she was surprised by his quick temper though she didn't know why he was mad. Piper was also surprised at how quiet the classroom was.

"Sirius, it is my job as a teacher to help any student in the need of help."

"Professor Binn doesn't help." Sirius retorted quickly.

Piper frowned then she remembered who the teacher was. "Professor Binn is a ghost, he can't physically help." Piper heard someone counter her with 'no, he can't help because he sleeps all the damn time.' She never addressed who said it.

"I heard that you were sorted to the Slytherin house. Is that true?" Sirius asked, he sounded a bit calmer, his pale ears were red though from his anger, or it could've been from something else.

Piper thought for a moment on whether to answer the question, she didn't even know how the kids had gotten that information, maybe from one of her sisters. "That is a personal question."

"How so?"

Piper had no intents on answering the questions. "Sit down Sirius so we can have class."

Sirius slyly smiled, the smile had enlightened his boyish charm. "How about you tell me the house you're sorted into and I'll sit."

Piper gently shook her head with a sarcastic smile. "Or how about I'll take 10 points from Gryffindor if you don't sit?" Some of his fellow house students gasped, and began urging Sirius to sit down.

Sirius looked around as if to make up his mind. "What is ten points to us?" Some of the students were getting a tad bit upset. He slapped his hand down on James' shoulder, "We can quickly get it back by James winning us the Quidditch games." James smiled, unable to help himself.

Piper didn't want to take this anymore, she didn't want to deal with detention though. "Why does it matter-"

Piper was interrupted by a shouted comment from Lucius. "HOW DID I GET HERE?? I WAS FALLING AND NOW I'M HERE…HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" Lucius suspiciously eyed James and Sirius.

Piper answered Lucius's and Sirius's question at once. She was getting mad from not being able to continue with her class. She found that forty five minutes had passed and the bell would ring soon. "Lucius, I froze you and had the boys set you back in your seat. And Sirius, if you really want to know, I was sorted into Slytherin, but it means nothing to me at all. Now sit down or else." Sirius had a strong urge to was the "else" was, but he finally sat down. True was, being with Slytherin did matter to her. She finally saw how the students though of Slytherin. She didn't want her reputation to be this way, but it was something she'd try to change.

"I don't want to hear another word out of this class. Now take out your textbook and read the first page starting the first chapter on Sticking Charms." Piper found it quite ironic that her first lesson was on Sticking Potions even though James had did what he did to Lucius with a wand. Piper was quite upset that her class had gone wrong and she would've have them sticking papers, feathers, and other things, but it all got off to a bad start. She wasn't sure if she'd let them have fun for the day.

She touched the chalk in the chalk tray so that it would start writing what she said. "Read each potion thoroughly and tell me how you can undo them other than using Scurgify and this is for classwork. For homework, I want a 9 inch parchment written report on the Sticking Charm that can't be reversed or undone. Read the book and you'll know what potion I'm talking about. Then give me a theory on how you think it can be undone and why your theory may work." The chalk hovered in the air waiting for Piper to say more. The chalk wrote the keywords and shorthanded a lot of things on the board. A chalk with a mind of its own was a little scary to Piper, but she'd deal with it.

She gently tapped the chalk and it sat in the tray, motionless again. "We may try those theories out in class tomorrow, so you may want to test them. If someone comes close to removing the sticking charm, then you may become famous since no one has found out how to undo it." The class grunted from their assignment. Sirius's hand instantly shot up after he got his text book out. Piper sighed and wondered if she should ignore it, but decided not since he would bother her more in the long run. "Yes?"

"If no adult has found out how to undo this potion then how can we?!" Slytherin rolled their eyes.

"I didn't say find out how to undo the potion, I just said do a theory on how you think we can undo it and we may be able to reverse the potion. I'm not going to grade you on whether you undo the charm or not. Who knows Sirius, maybe it could work out and whoever does it can be a very famous young wizard." The girls glared at her. "Or witch." Piper quickly added.

Piper sat at her desk, getting a headache from her first period class. They were all doing their work now, and she needed the quietness to plan out what she'd do for the next period. They would be first years and she hoped they wouldn't be too unruly. Everyone worked until the bell rang. Lupin and Potter both jogged to Piper's desk.

Lupin spoke first. "When classes end, after school, would you be able to escort me and James to Professor D's office?"

"Yes I could." Piper gave a small smile from the name they gave Dumbledore.

"Thanks!" James said, then he went to talk to Sirius who seemed to be waiting by the door along with Peter.

She wondered how in the world Peter and Remus got mixed up with James and Sirius. They were all different though obviously. Peter was quiet and he obeyed the rules quite nicely while Sirius seemed to break every rule there was. Or he seemed to try and test them and bend them. James was a small mystery to her. It looked like he was a rule breaker along with Sirius, but he did have his limits. Piper just wondered how far his limits went. And Lupin seemed to the most polite of them all. He would speak up if he needed, but did what he was supposed to do…most of the time.

A/N: Sorry that I made the chapter so long. I couldn't figure out where to end it but RR! I like reviews, they help me out a lot. Thx! (I should have the next chapter up in hopefully a week at the most, probably before then though.)
