AN: SORRY! I'm so sorry it took me forever to update, but last week I had ; A Piquet test to see if I had tuberculosis, a social science test, math test, French test, and a BCG shot against tuberculosis and I've had migraines every day.
I now have my fall-break, and since I'm sick, again, I'll try to update a lot.
sirius-black-4eva : Yeah, I know. Can't wait till your new fic is up, it's probably great.

Paige Malfoy : I know, he's so cute, I wish he wasn't evil either, but. Yep, Harry and Hermione, and Paige and DRaco. Awe, it feels so good to be loved, LoL.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that, I'll see what happens, it's a good idea though.
Chp.14
Welcome
The Great Hall was filled with students, everyone talking to each other about what they had been doing during the Christmas Holidays, even Paige, Harry, Ron and Hermione were in deep conversation about it.
"So, Ron was it really that terrible without us?" Hermione asked sweetly.
"Yes! Well, no, it was okay, but I still missed you." He answered, not really looking at her.
"So, did you see your 'Girlfriend'?" Paige asked.
"Paige! You're turning into a Malfoy duplicate!" Ron said in a mix of upset and humour.
"Am not! I'm a good girl, I am." She said dramatically.
"My fair Lady?" Hermione asked.
"YES! I love that movie!" Paige exclaimed.
"Me too!"
"That is so cool!"
"What's My fair Lady?" Harry asked.
"One of the best films/Musicals EVER!"
"Okay..." Ron and Harry looked at each other, then at the girls, and nodded in agreement.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Hermione asked, suddenly in defensive-mode.
"We just agreed that you're both crazy."
"Real funny you guys, real funny." Paige muttered.
"Hey, look. Dumbledore's got somethin' to say." They heard Seamus say, and everyone turned their attention to the staff table.
"Welcome back, to another semester, here at Hogwarts!" Dumbledore said cheerfully, smiling at all the students. "I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas. I know you're all very hungry, but I have one last announcement to make."
The three looked over at Hermione.
"You know anything about this, being Head Girl and all?" Ron asked with interest
"Haven't got a clue." She answered.
Paige looked over at the Slytherin table, were she found Draco, arms crossed over his chest, with that smirk of his. She raised a brow questioningly, but he didn't do anything that could help her, even though she was sure he knew.
"As I was saying, I have a very important announcement." The Hall quiet down as Dumbledore spoke again. "There will be a new class, mandatory for all seventh year students." There was whispering between all the seventh year students.
Mandatory? For me too? Paige thought confused.
"Information about this class you will find on the bulletin boards, in your common rooms and in the hallways. Now, let me introduce you to your new teacher." The Hall fell completely silent. "Ms.Pheobe Halliwell."
Out through the doors, next to the Staff table, stepped the un-mistakable person that was her sister.
"PHOEBS?!" Paige said in utter shock.
"Paige!" She shrieked in return, and instead of sitting down, she walked up to her and gave her a hug.
"Hi." Paige said still in shock. "What are you doing here?"
They were completely oblivious to the fact that everyone was watching them.
"I'm teaching sweetie, what else?"
"That's crazy, what about the column, what about Piper, what about the... them?"
"Oh, don't worry, I hired a ghost writer." Phoebe said, making it seem like nothing important.
"Ahem." They turned and looked at Dumbledore.
"Oh, sorry." Phoebe said, somewhat blushing. "Talk to you later sweetie." She said and gave Paige one last hug before going back to the Staff table.
Paige dropped back down in her seat, resting her head in her arms., rubbing her temples.
"My sister.... Our teacher.... How?" She said, trying to comprehend it.
"I dunno." Ron said.
"I think that was a rhetorical question, Ron." Hermione said looking over at Paige. "Don't worry about it, I mean Dumbledore probably has everything figured out already."
"I need air." Paige muttered and got up, leaving the Great Hall, and walking out towards the lake.
-------
"So, what exactly are you teaching?" Paige asked.
Phoebe and her were sitting on a couch in Phoebe's quarters.
"Well, it's sort of a Defence against the Dark arts thing, only more Charmed style."
"How? I mean we can't say anything about it."
"Well, I talked it over with Dumbledore and he thinks that if we do this very discreetly, it will work out great."
"I still don't get it. He could have goten anyone to teach us this, it would have been easier without someone who was related to me, I mean, everyone's gonna think you're going easy on me."
"Well, me and Piper thought it was best if one of us was here looking after you, especially after what happened before Christmas. And I'm not going to go easy on you, I'm gonna drive you harder than any of the other students."
"WHAT?! Why?!"
"Because you need the training. Even though Dumbledore's been helping you, it hasn't been working has it? I mean all over Christmas break your powers were going crazy." Phoebe reasoned.
"It's not my fault." Paige muttered.
"I know sweetie, but it's gonna get better, promise."
"Charmed-Ones honour?" Paige asked childishly
"Charmed-Ones honour." Phoebe said with one hand on her heart. "Now, I think you should go to bed. You have classes tomorrow, and so do I."
"Okay, good night." Paige said and hugged her before leaving and going back to her own dorm.
Walking down the hallway, she found Peeves painting moustaches on the portraits hanging on the wall.
"Good evening Peeves."
He turned around and looked at her.
"What you doing, wandering the halls at night Halliwell girl?"
"I was talking to my sister. What are you doing in the halls at night Peeves?" She asked
"Causing mischief, what else?"
She laughed. "Well, while you're at it, mind trashing the potions lab for me?"
"Would love to, but there are hexes and jinxes and the whole lot protecting that place." He said angrily. "But I sure would love to."
"Well, I better go. Oh and you missed a spot over there." She said and pointed at one of the portraits, before walking off down the hallway.
"Don't you ever get sick of watching the same sun rise every morning?" Draco asked her, sitting down next to her by the lake.
"It never looks the same." She looked over at him "It's unique. That's why it's impossible to get sick of it."
"You're one of a kind."
"So, you knew about my sis coming here?" She asked.
"Yeah, they told me. You should have seen your reaction last night, though. It was like..." He said and made a face.
"It was not! And it's totally unfair that they didn't tell me, I mean, I deserve to know this kind of stuff."
"Yeah, you're right. Come on, let's go inside." He said and grabbed her hand.
Halfway down to the Great Hall he stopped and kissed her.
A bit taken aback at first, she then let herself get lost in it.
"Ahem."
They broke apart and saw Snape. "That will be five points from Gryffindor." He said simply and turned to leave.
"I believe you forgot to take points of Slytherin, Professor. I don't think Mr.Malfoy is in Gryffindor house." Phoebe said, appearing around the corner.
"Excuse me, Ms....?"
"Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell. I'm the new teacher, but we've met before, in Dumbledore's office."
He didn't seem to care, because he spun around on his heel and walked off.
"Nice dude, that one." Phoebe said turning around to the others. '
"Welcome to my world." Paige said. "At least you told him off. I don't think that happens a lot."
"I'm gonna go inside, see you later." Draco said and disappeared into the Great Hall.
"I knew you'd be more than just friends." Phoebe said teasingly.
"You hadn't figured it out until now?" Paige asked gaping at her.
"Of course I had, I'm just saying: I told you so."
"Ha ha ha, funny Phoebs, funny." she said sarcasticly
"I know. So are you psyched about my first class?" She asked enthusisasticly
"Can't I skip it? Please?" Paige whined.
"No! How am I going to survive 20 something teens without you?!"
"I can't be there forever you know. You're just going to have to survive without me." Paige said and linked arms with her. "I've survived it and you will too."
"What would I do if I didn't have my little sister giving me advice?" Phoebe asked jokingly.
"You'd be miserable. I wish Piper was here too, it'd be so cool, having the three of us together."
"Yeah, it would."
------
"Alright everyone, settle down." Phoebe said, trying to get the class's attention. "HEY! LISTEN UP!"
Everyone turned and looked at her. "That's better. Okay, so I'm gonna call your names and you answer so I can see who you are, got it?"
"Yes."
"Good, okay. Millecent Bullstrode?"
"Here."
"Dean Thomas?"
"Here."
"Lavender Brown?"
"Here."
"Vincent Crabbe?"
"Here"
"Harry Potter?"
"Here."
And so on, she continued with the entire list of students.
When she was about to start explaining what they were going to do the door opened and in walked Pansy Parkinson.
"Who are you?" Phoebe asked.
"Pansy Parkinson." She answered.
"Well, Ms.Parkinson, are you aware of the fact that class started over 10 minuttes ago?"
"I was busy, I have better things to do than this stupid class." She spat.
"Well, Ms.Parkinson, you're not the only one who has better things to do, but this is about your education. If you want to fail my class and in return not graduate then be my guest. 15 from Slytherin
for your tardiness and if your late again I will put you in detention, is that clear Ms.Parkinson?"
"Cristal."
"Good, now sitt down next to Mr.Longbottom." And then she turned back to the blackboard. Not hearing Pansy walking over to her seat, she turned around again.
"Is there a problem Ms.Parkinson?" She asked
"I'm not sitting next to him." Pansy spat angrily "He's a freak, a klutz, and a Gryffindor!"
"Your point Ms.Parkinson?"
"My point is, I won't."
"Fine. Ms.Parkinson you may leave. I want you to take this note to Professor Snape and you will be serving two days detention. That is, of course, if you don't chose to sit down next to Mr.Longbottom in, 5—4—3—I'm glad you changed your mind Ms.Parkinson."
Pansy walked over to Neville, fuming, while the rest of the class was almost chocking, trying to stifle their laughs.
"Okay, so as I was saying, in this class you will learn to protect yourself against dangers you have yet to face. Anyone who knows what I'm talking about?"
No one except for Paige raised her hand, not even Hermione.
"Yes, Ms.Halliwell?"
"Against Demons, Warlock, evil spirits, dark-lighters, evil re-incarnated ex-husbands."
"Ha ha, Paige, hilarious." Phoebe said sarcasticly, switching from teacher to sister. "But you are right, the first four at-least. Can anyone tell me anything about these four?" And the things Paige had listed appeared on the black board.
"Anyone except for Ms.Halliwell?" She asked. "Well then, put away your wands and whatever books you have up, and take out pen and paper."
Everyone looked a bit confused.
"Are you going all Umbridge on us?" Dean asked.
"What?" Phoebe looked at them confused.
"Pen and Paper?" another student asked.
"Quill and parchment." Paige cut in. "And she's not going all Umbridge on us Dean, we just don't need wands for this kind of magic, do we professor?"
"No, you don't. In this class you will learn wandless magic, you will write proper spells, you will"
"Why aren't we supposed to use our wands, it's so much easier." Pansy asked
"This is the problem, you all depened on a stick." She looked over her class. "What would you do if you walked down the street, and was then attacked, and you didn't have your wand?"
There was silence between the students.
"No one? Very well then, I think I've made my point, don't you Ms.Parkinson?"
