Last time:
She could stand no more of this she went up to the cauldron and placed her hands into the potion to jumble up the water, but to her dismay the potiononly switched to her memories.
The water swirled counter-clockwise and paused at her memory when she had her first vanquish. Pep was only five years old at the time, but she remembered it vividly.
The demon Digascurrow shimmered into the living room where Pep was quietly watching TV. She had seen many demons before, so this was not new to her, but this time she was alone. The rest of her family was either at work or in another room. Instead of calling for help she reacted on instinct and pushed her hand out in front of herso that flames shot out of her fingertips. Before the demon could utter one word or do anything that could harm Pep, it caught on fireThe vanquishing created a tiny explosion, causing the other Halliwells to come running into the room. …..
… Pep recognized the next memory as the time when she got one of her later powers, clairvoyance. Seven years had gone by since the last memory.The Halliwells were to have company over in a while so Pep decided that she would be helpful and cleaned up the living room. As she picked up Wyatt's jacket she let out a small gasp and went into a vision. It was of the night before when Wyatt's was on a date. He and his date were sitting in the movie theaters when he leaned over to kiss her, but he accidentally leaned over to the wrong side and almost ended up kissing an elderly lady. When Pep came out of the visionWyatt walked into the livingroom, confused to find his younger cousin staring at him with a smirk…
…This one was more disturbing than the others. Making her way under ground, Pep andher family stopped in a room occupied by some bizarre looking creatures. All of them were destroyed by a wave of a hand by Piper, the orbing of Paige, martial arts of Phoebe, fire starting of Pep, or a flick of Wyatt's wrist Chris's powers were helping with offense. The only one left was a man in a large black cloak that was standing still.
"You dumb witches; you think you can vanquish me?" The demon tried to shimmer out but hit barriers that glowed a bright whitish-blue color, and landed on the floor. "You caged me in!"
"Damn right we did!" Piper said in her kick ass voice. "Come
on…let's vanquish his sorry ass."
The Halliwell line began to chant "Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace, Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, Vanquish this evil from time and space."…..
… The last memory was the most upsetting. A thirteen-year-old Pep was sitting on the floor with one of her friends. They werelistening to music and talking. She seemedso happy with not a care in the world. That look lasted about five seconds longer that changed to one of greatfearsome.
"Diane get down!" she screamed. Her friend was too latehowever and caught an energy ball in her back. "LEO!" Pep's face turned the color of red and locked eyes with the demon that did this to her friend. "HOW DARE YOU" she cried. With a wave of her hand she sent the hottest fire ever towards the ugly looking thing hellfire. The creature could see the anger in the witch and tried to duck but did not make it soon enough and he erupted into flames. "LEO!" called Pep again. A swirl of bright lights entered the room and landed next to the un-moving Diane. "HEAL HER" yelled a hysterical Pep.
Leo wasted no time; he bent down next to the girl and placed a glowing hand above her back. "WHY ISN"T IT WORKING?"
"I'm so sorry Pep… I cannot heal the dead….
Back in the Potions classroom, Pep curled up into the fetal position and screamed. "No…not again…NO…DIANE!"
Snape made his way over to the cauldron bearing Pep and Harry's potion and waved his wand over it. "I think that is enough for today. Class dismissed. Potter, you stay."
Harry had no intention of leaving Pep at the moment. He rushed over to her side when he was pulled out of the memory forgetting about the other things he had seen. He placed his hands on her back and attempted to calm her. "It's ok…shhhh…it's all over. That did not happen again. It will be alright."
"May I ask what just happened?" asked a rather worried professor, though he would not admit it.
"I don't think Pep should relive that memory for the second time in one day. Can I take her up to the hospital wing?" Harry stood protectively in front of Pep.
"Yes, I do not think that she can make it up there alone in her condition."
HCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH
A while later in the hospital wing…
"Is she okay?" asked a worried Piper
"Yeah, Madam Pomfrey said that she was just suffering from shock, she should be okay by tomorrow" said Harry who had been up there the whole time.
"What happened?" asked Phoebe.
"Well in Potions we had to make this potions that let's you see each other's memories. Pep and I were partnered up and when it had gotten to her turn for her memories she had some pretty upsetting ones."
The same thing was racing through the Halliwells' minds 'What did Harry see?'
Paige was the first one to speak, "What memories did Pep show?"
"Well, to be honest I don't really know." He had a plan to talk to Pep when she woke up before he shared his information.
"I see. Well I think that we should all go down to dinner." Wyatt could tell that Harry was confused and did not want to talk about it right now.
"I think that I am going to stay up here and wait for her to wake up. Hey Chris, will you do me a favor and tell Ron and Hermoine that I will see them in the common room later?"
"Yeah that's fine" Chris said not sure if he wanted to leave Harry alone with Pep right now.
The family members piled out of the hospital wing, all of them hesitant.
Harry was sitting in a chair readinga Quidditch magazine when Pep awoke. "Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked closing the magazine.
"If I told you that I was fine that would be a lie……How about you?"
He could tell where this was going. "Good except that I am very confused. I didn't tell your family what I saw. I thought that I should talk to you first."
"As well as you should have. I know what you saw was very different from what you're used to but please just don't be afraid."
"Afraid?"
"Yeah…of me and my powers."
"I don't think afraid is the word to describe it…more like beyond confused" Harry said
"Okay…where do you want me to start?"
HCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH
Madam Pomfrey insisted that Pep stay another night, but ended up losing the battle two to one. Harry and Pep made their way back up to the common room very carefully because of Pep's condition. When they entered the portrait they were not surprised to see Ron and Hermoine waiting for them along with Chris.
"What happened?" asked a very worried Hermoine.
"Nothing…it's just thatwhen we had the trip down memory lane I saw a memory that I would of hoped to forget about" answered Pep.
"What was it?" asked Ron
Pep and Harry had already picked out the words they were to use. "It was of my friend dying when I was thirteen." She glanced at Chris and knew that he understood.
They could tell that Ron and Hermoine were hoping for a juicier story more about who she was. This one would have to do
"I'm sorry, if you don't mind me asking….how did she die?" Asked Ron
This was the question on everyone's mind, even Chris's. 'How is she going to get out of this one?' he thought.
Harry was a little worried too, they had not thought up an answer to this question. Not to his surprise Pep spoke up "She received a shock of electricity. If you don't mind, I think I am going to be going upstairs, I am still a little tipsy."
"Hey Hermoine, can you take her? I don't want to go up into the dormitory when the others are sleeping," said Harry.
"Yeah, no problem." Walking upstairs, Hermione couldn't help but think 'How does one die of an electricity shock…I guess if it was a lot of electricity….' Shrugging it off, she too went to bed thinking of the images that she had witnessed in Potions class.
