A/N: This is a Harry Potter/ Charmed Crossover (I'm using the Harry Potter books, the movies pale in comparison). The time line for Harry Potter, is sometime after the first chapter of the first book, but years before Harry Potter goes to Hogwarts. I don't know exactly, but I won't ever encounter the students in the books (maybe some of the older students, like Bill and Charlie Weasley) but for the most part, I am going to create my own characters) The Charmed Timeline, it is 8 years after the 8th season, I'll be putting reference to it, but not all that much. This is mostly my own interest in putting Wyatt into Hogwarts and having him getting in trouble because he shows off with his powers. This is my first crossover involving Harry Potter, and while I have read all the books, I may make mistakes with the Potter Univers, so don't hesitate to critique me, just no bonfires (little fires are okay) Enjoy!
A Charmed One Goes to Hogwarts
Chapter 1: The Acceptance Letter
Things were finally normal in the Halliwell household. Piper and Leo couldn't have been more in love. The club was thriving, and they had the three most beautiful children in the world.
Wyatt was a normal 11 year old, plus having uber witch and whitelighter powers. Wyatt knew what his powers could do. He could create monsters, vanquish demons, make anyone do anything he wanted, by just thinking about it. And he didn't want any of it. He was different from everyone, even his younger siblings, and cousins. He just wanted to be normal. He was afraid that they were all afraid of him, because of all that he could do.
Chris was 9 years old, and like his older brother, could orb. Whenever Wyatt took off around the world to test his orbing ability, Chris would tag along. While he wasn't as good as his younger brother, for the most part he could keep up. They thought that Piper and Leo didn't know of their adventures. They knew. Piper often used Billie's GPS scrying that they had perfected over the years. Chris also had a non-whitelighter form of telekinesis. He was told, that his power is just like his Aunt Prue's.
Piper and Leo had a third child, the little girl that Piper had seen in her trip to the future. Melinda was a rambunctious 7 year old with the power to freeze. So, Piper had found Leo a number of times frozen because of their little 'angel.' But, she shouldn't talk. God knows she'd frozen Leo enough time, especially in bed!
Phoebe and Dax were happily married, in their own house now, with their daughters Prue (6) and Penny (2). Prue had her namesakes telekenisis, however Penny had not shown her powers yet, but they all suspected that she may have her mother's power.
Paige had since gone back to being a Social Worker, with the help of her old boss. She had been able to help people through non-magical means, and she was married a year ago to a cop named Jamie Frasier. They lived down the street from Piper and Leo in an apartment, and Jamie knows about Magic, as he was a Widower to another witch.
On that fateful morning that would change all of their lives, The sisters were together in the sun room, watching their five children play.
"So, Paige," Piper inquired, "Have you and Jamie talked about kids yet?"
"No. With me fighting demons, and being a social worker, and he just being promoted to Sergeant, our lives are much too busy for children right now. I think we'll satisfy for now with spoiling your children."
"Well thank you for that…" Just then they all noticed a barn owl fly in through the open French doors. "What the…" The own swooped down in front of Wyatt who was playing a video game with Chris.
The Owl had a letter in its mouth, and laid it down by Wyatt's feet. "What's that Wyatt?"
"I don't know mom. It says The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I thought all the Wizards are extinct?"
"Maybe it's an old name, from before they died out." Leo offered, "But I have never heard of this school."
"Paige, could you be a doll and go ask the elders what's this school is?"
"Sure," And then Paige, who had been acting as the whitelighter for the past 6 years when needed.
"Mom, it says that I've been accepted to the school, I have to be at King's Cross Train Station in London on September 1st, and there's a list of books and supplies. It says we have to go to Diagon Ally."
"Let me look at that." Piper said, taking the papers from Wyatt, "Well, I recognize most of these potions ingredients, but these books, look like pure fiction."
Paige orbed back in, "Okay, the school's legit. It's the world's elite magic school that was started in England a thousand years ago. They showed me where to orb to get to this Diagon Ally where his school supplies will be."
"Okay," Piper said, "But what is this school? They expect us to orb him to England every day."
"No, it's a boarding school."
"What!" Piper exclaimed. "He's only 11 years old. I am not going to ship him off to some boarding school in England. We are perfectly capable of training Wyatt, and the rest of our kids."
"Well, they wanted you to go meet with the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, before we make our decision. I guess they decided that because of Wyatt's level of powers, that he could use some disciplined magicks training."
"Alright. Leo and I will meet with him…"
Wyatt interrupted her, "Mom, can I go too? This looks cool. A place where I can use magic without having to worry about being exposed!"
Paige interrupted, "They also said that because of the concentrated magic, nothing electronic works. That means no TV and no video games."
"Okay, we'll put that in the con column in our decision on whether I go to this school." Everyone giggle. They could tell, that Wyatt was trying not to say, 'hell no' because there was no TV there.

Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, going over the profiles of the students who were coming in the next year. One file that stood out to him, was one Wyatt Mathew Halliwell. They had never accepted any students outside of Great Brittan before, but when these men came to him a few months, asking him if he could accept this young man into his school, it perked his interest.
The son of a Charmed One and a former Elder, he was a very powerful in magic. They told him that he didn't need a wand to cast some spells, and could disapperate as a baby, but they called it Orbing, and could manipulate all kinds of things by just thinking about it. Off all the children who needed guidance, it was this one.
And now, he was waiting until it was time for him to leave to go meet this young mans parents: Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt.

Piper was in the kitchen, taking her new recipe that was like English scones out of the oven. "Piper," Leo argued, "Why are you making appetizers?"
"Well, if this school is all that the Elders say it is, than we want the headmaster to be in our good graces."
"But Wyatt has already been accepted."
"That doesn't mean that we can't be good hosts."
"Alright" Leo succeeded, as their three children were heard running down the stairs.
"Mom! Melinda stole my game boy!" Wyatt complained.
"Melinda, give the game boy back to your brother, and next time, if you want to play with it, ask your brother, and I'm sure that he will be more than happy to let you borrow it, right Wyatt."
"Sure," he mumbled. "Mom, when is the Headmaster was going to be here?"
"In about ten minutes, and I want all of you to be on your best behavior. This is a great man, and deserves all of your respect."
"Yes, Mom." Three voices droned.
Piper had the scones laid out and the Lemonade in the pitcher with glasses served out, When an old man with a long white beard appeared in front of them. "Hello, Mrs. Halliwell, Mr. Halliwell. I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, it's so nice to meet you. I understand you wanted to speak to me about the school. We often do this for our muggle born students, however, we haven't had students who has a magical parent, and not have gone to Hogwarts themselves."
Piper started, "Why don't you sit down over there, and we can both have our questions answered. Wyatt comes from a long line of Witches. In fact, he was the first boy born into our line in three hundred years. Our line was started by Melinda Warren. She was blessed with three special gifts. Telekinesis, Stopping Time, and Seeing the future, Premonitions. Every generation was building up to myself and my sisters, the Charmed Ones. It was our destiny to fight a battle against evil. Our magic could not be handled by men, until my sons. They are the exception because their father was a whitelighter at the time. A guardian Angel for good witches."
"When you accepted Wyatt, did you know about all of his powers? Orbing, the ability to manipulate energy fields. He once shrunk Leo and I and locked us in the doll house."
"He was only two and a half at the time." Leo explained.
"I'm never going to live that down!" Wyatt said, speaking for the first time since Dumbledore had arrived.
Dumbledore eyed the young man before him. "Mr. Halliwell, Is there anything that you would like to ask?"
"How come there's no TV?"
"What's TV?"
Leo answered, playing the role of the ambassador, "It is a form of entertainment, that has our youth quite addicted."
"Dad, you never understood the appeal of TV, when you were a kid the form of home entertainment was Radio. He was born in 1921, died in 1943, and then became a whitelighter, which was how he met mom. Melinda is always going on about how they had such a romantic relationship, because it was a forbidden love, and that it they conquered all that stood in their way to be together. It just makes me want to barf."
"Wyatt!" Piper exclaimed.
"That is quite all right, Mrs. Halliwell, I have been an educator for quite some time, and have heard much worse over the years," Dumbledore said, ready to giggle. He was clearly a typical 11 year old who was in the 'hates girls' period in his life. Give him a few years, and he'll be drooling all over them. "Mrs. Halliwell, let me explain about my school. Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by four educators. Ever since then Hogwarts has been dedicated to teaching all those who exhibit potential in the use of magic, however, I have never encountered any of the Wiccan witches. I looked them up, when your elders came to me asking me to look at your son as a student. Most are simple Muggles who worship nature."
"As for the education of your son, He will be educated in magic, and he will be safe from anything that could bring him to harm, as there are countless safeguards protecting the school. We do not vanquish demons."
"Well," Piper said, "That would be a reason to send him there alone, to get him away from attacking demons."
"So, Mom, can I go?"
"Maybe, there is also a question of cost. We are not a wealthy family. Our income comes from my club. With living in San Francisco, we can barely afford our living expenses, plus all of the expenses of fixing the front door every other week when demons attack. I don't know how we could afford a boarding school."
"We have many financial aid programs, and your son more that qualifies for a full scholarship because of his Magical Ability."
"All right, Wyatt, if you really want to, you can go to Hogwarts. How often can he come home?"
"School holidays are Christmas, Easter, and the Summer months."
"I can't orb home on the weekends?" Wyatt asked. He had orbed all over the world, he was pretty good at going where he wasn't noticed.
"I am afraid that you aren't going to be able to go off orbing whenever you want. While all of our students know about whitelighters, I don't think that you should be flaunting that particular power. Our laws forbid what we call Apparating until they past their Apparating test at the age of 17. Can you live with that."
"Okay." Said Wyatt. "But I can orb when I'm home, right?"
"Sure, Wyatt." Piper assured him.
"Okay, I'm going to Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore smiled at his future student. "Why don't you show me a spell that you know."
"Well, I can vanquish all but upper-level demons by just thinking about it, but with just a regular spell, I don't know of one that I could just do here, without it being personal gain."
"Personal gain?"
Piper helped, "Our form of magic is for serving the greater good, so if you cast a spell that is not for protecting an innocent or yourself, there are consequences."
"Well, while in our school, the magic, while it might backfire if you miss-use it, are for the most part used in everyday life. We use it for daily chores, and most of the technology that muggles use, we have a magical counterpart for it."
"All right." Wyatt took a handful of scones that his mother had made and crumbled them up on the floor.
"Hey!" Piper exclaimed at the mess that his son was making on her freshly vacuumed carpet.
"Don't worry mom, I just needed a mess to show the Professor a vanishing spell. God knows I've seen you all use it often enough." He turned back to the mess and, "Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause the seen to be unseen." With that Dumbledore stared with amazement as the crumbs disappeared.
"Where'd they go?"
"They just vanished."
"And all you have to do is say words, and concentrate. You don't need a wand?"
"None of us ever do, of course, the wands that you use may have been started to amplify your power. As most of our spells have to do with fighting evil beings, Wiccans never adopted using wands." Leo exclaimed. "I was a Whitelighter, Elder, and then Avatar. While I am now human, I have retained all my knowledge of the Magical World. That included the Magical Beings in Europe. It amused the elders when you created your own dimension to hide yourself from what you call muggles, non-magical beings. Of course, this has been the first in quite some time since the elders have taken notice in your lives. You see, when you turned to Magic to be a way of life, and not to solely fight the war against Evil, well, they decided to just leave you be, but they wouldn't help you either."
Piper sighed, looking at her son, "Well, it seems that because of Wyatt, they decided that they had to break that rule. All right, is there someone who can help us to explain what we need to get and how. I mean, most of the potions ingredients on his school supplies list I have, but these textbooks, and why must he have 'rolls of parchment, quills, and ink.' What's wrong with notebooks and pens?"
"That's what we use. When professors assign papers they will assign the length not as the number of papers, as the muggles now do, but as the length of the single roll of parchment, in a certain number of feet. And yes, I will send another parent of a student at Hogwarts. Mrs. Weasley has two boys in Hogwarts this year. Charlie is your age Wyatt. I will send her an owl, I am sure that she would be more than likely to help you."
"Alright, just give us the time, and We'll orb there. I am sure that Paige won't mind, it'll take all of two minutes out of her day."
Dumbledore rose, and shook the hands of the three people in the room and turned to leave, when Chris and Melinda came running through, Chris chasing Melinda, who was screaming, "Chris and Bianca sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"She's not my girlfriend, you imp." At that the two terrors saw the elderly gentleman standing in their sun room, "Sorry mom. She just…"
"You two will apologize to Mr. Dumbledore for acting that way," Piper said, and after hearing the two mumbled sorrys, Piper turned back to the Headmaster, "I apologize for my children, you know how siblings get. You should have seen me with my sisters growing up, I am surprised that we didn't drive our Grandmother insane!"
"Yes, indeed," Dumbledore said smiling, "Children are a blessing and challenge, but it is also refreshing to hear them argue in good fun after all the adults I have heard arguing over the years." That said, they said their goodbyes and he Apparated out of the Halliwell Manor.
"Well, It looks like we have quite a few things to do in the next month before you go to school, Wyatt. This will be fun."
TBC…
A/N: So, what do you think? Please send me lots of long reviews because it makes me all fuzzy inside. I can't wait to get Wyatt into school and into so much trouble, as he is a Halliwell, and they attract trouble like steal to a magnet…
