Harry, Lupin and Dumbledore walked down the street and after a few minutes
and a right turn they came to a large house. Walking up to the porch
Dumbledore knocked and waited to see if anyone would answer. A tall young
man about 19 yrs old came to the door, "Can I help you?" he asked politely
to the group. "Yes yesterday I spoke to a Mrs. Piper Halliwell, As
Dumbledore said this the boy nodded. "Yes, you must be Professor
Dumbledore, come in." said the boy and took them to the lounge where they
sat down, "my name is Wyatt and I will just go tell my mum you are here."
Wyatt said and quickly left the room. Harry looked around the room silently
when he noticed the framed photos on the mantle of the fireplace. Standing
up he saw straight away that they were muggle photos as they didn't move,
but even so one caught his eye. It was a Coloured photograph of 8 young
people roughly around the age of 20. There were four girls on one side and
four guys on the other, he recognized the guys as his father, Sirius, Lupin
and Wormtail, Harry thought of the last in disgust. If Harry had his way he
would take out his wand and obliterate Wormtail from every picture he was
in with his parents. Out of the four girls Harry only recognized his mother
who was smiling at the camera holding his fathers hand.
Lupin who stood up behind Harry also noticed the picture, he pointed to the three unknown women and said each of their names in turn, "Piper, Prue, and Phoebe. Prue died a long time ago." He said sounding sad obviously thinking about how there was only three people from this picture still alive and good, but he continued, " They were your mothers best friends from a summer vacation she spent here when she was very young. I remember the summer this was taken, they came to London and it was fantastic. It didn't seem to matter we were" Lupin paused not knowing how to put it, "different." He finally said as he went back to sit on the chair he had come from. "You mean how you were all magical and they weren't," asked Harry confused by how Lupin had put it. "No Harry, they are as magical as us, only in a different way. There are two different magical types in the world of humans anyway. There is Modern magic, which is what we use with wands. And then there is an ancient magic. They aren't called this because one is and older magic but because there are more modern magical people then ancient." Explained Lupin. "They very powerful ancient magical witches, also known as Charmed Ones. The three most powerful witches of the ancient world as their powers intertwine. When Prue died, Piper and Phoebe had to find their half sister to complete the power of three once again. Her name is Paige." Lupin said pointing towards another picture on the mantle.
This photo was much more recent of three grown women with a tall fair man along with two younger people, one female the other male and was obviously Wyatt. "The girl in the picture we think maybe Amelia your sister. As you can see she looks a lot like your mother which only increased our thoughts that it might be her." Lupin explained just as one of the women from the photo came in the room with a tea tray. "Piper, how nice it is to see you." Said Lupin again standing and hugging Piper. As she sat down so did Harry, "Amelia isn't here, she just went out to get some things. But I am guessing you also want to know why James and Lily left her with us?" Piper said as Wyatt and another women (Phoebe) came to the doorway. "I am guessing it is because her magic is more like yours then ours." Spoke Dumbledore for the first time from when they had entered the room.
Piper nodded slowly, "They were afraid of what the Ministry of Magic would do if they found out." Harry felt very confused at this and it must have shown on his face as Piper said to him, "You see Harry, no person of ancient magic has been born of modern magical parents, or the other way around. To make it worse the Ministry of Magic were dead set against our magic back then. I'm guessing things aren't that bad now?" Piper asked turning to Dumbledore. "Well the Ministry isn't against it as much these days as I have persuaded them that it would be better to be allies then enemies. We certainly have enough of those without making more." Dumbledore spoke with a small smile on his face and Piper laughed but then sighed what seemed as sadly. "Will Amelia be going back with you then?" Phoebe asked from the doorway obviously voicing what Piper was thinking. "Only if she wants to." whispered Harry, no matter how much he wanted to say yes, but he knew if they made her come she would be miserable. Lupin looked towards Harry and smiled seeming to know how Harry felt.
Meanwhile back to the others.
While Hermione, Ginny and Mrs. Weasley had gone to have a look around in the magical stores in the magical alley, Moody picked up a jar of eyeballs and examined them closely as Fred, George, and Ron were making fun of all the different things in the muggle magic shop. They were looking though the store and laughing at all the different silly things in there. One thing that had caught their attention was a round glass ball the size of a cricket ball. It has gasses swirling around inside of it; the gases seemed to be all different colours swirling together. The boys didn't touch it as it was held in the glass cabinet next to the store counter. After awhile the boys began to get bored of making fun of everything and just wanted to find out what was happening with Harry. Hermione, Ginny and Mrs. Weasley had gone to have a look around in the other magical stores. Just as the boys were going to leave a young girl only looking a year or so older then the twins came into the store. The boys took to following her around; she had long red hair, which looked like it had a natural wave to it. Her eyes were a deep rich brown and skin had a perfect complexion.
The boys followed the girl hiding behind various objects had she chose what herbs and ingredients she needed and made her way to the counter. While there she also brought the same glass ball that the boys had been looking at earlier. "Let me guess, the latest birthday present?" asked the attendant obviously knowing the girl as she replied, "Of course, can't miss his 16th." She replied smiling and left the store. The boys followed her and Fred ran up and said, "So what's the swirly ball do?" he asked trying to stop her from leaving. "Why it's not like you can use It.," she replied not even looking at Fred. "Rude aren't we?" was George's reply as he and Ron caught up to them as they followed the girl as she walked down the street. "I think its only natural as you follow me though the entire store." She replied finally stopping and looked at them annoyed. "What do you want?" she asked. "To know what that swirly ball thing does, oh and your name," replied Fred smiling obviously happy to have made her stop. "Collects dreams, and I'm not telling goodbye." The girl replied, and started to walk again only this time George and Ron stopped Fred from following her again. The boys made their way back to the shops where they found their mum.
