Chapter 3: Magic School and Oops!

During the next few weeks, Mel was enrolled into Jackson High (AN: I just made that up on the spot), where Chris attended school.

"Chris! Wake up!" cried Piper from the kitchen. Her son was never known for his ability to wake up on time for…anything. She was about to go up and wake him up when Mel ran into the kitchen, almost running Piper over.

"Whoa, slow down there. I didn't know you were already awake and up." Piper smiled. "Could you wake Chris up for me?" Mel nodded and returned to her room. She peeked inside to find Chris with his eyes closed and in peaceful sleep. She snickered and slowly walked up to him. She grabbed her gigantic history book and cleared the bedside table right next to his ear. '3…2…1…' "BANG!" she dropped the heavy book right smack on the table. Chris shot up and raised his hands, ready for battle. He heard laughing and turned to see his sister sitting on her bed, laughing in amusement.

"Piper wants you ready for school soon." She continued laughing, grabbed her backpack and walked out the door leaving a highly sleepy and annoyed Chris.

Jackson High

Chris and Mel walked down the hallway and as they walked, heard the gossip that flowed through the ears of students and teachers.

"I heard that she was locked in their attic and was fed raw meat until she finally snapped and jumped out the window." On kid whispered and stared, eyes not leaving the two siblings.

"I heard that she was sent to boarding school in London and came back now." Another told her group of friends." Those comments just made Mel want to run back into her room in Seattle and pretend that it was all just a dream. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Chris smiled at her.

"Just don't listen to them. They just like to say what they want. Ignore them." They continued walking until Mel stopped when a thought crossed her mind...

"What happens when there's a demon attack…at school?" she asked, wondering if any demons knew who they were and use school to get to them.

"We've never had a demon attack at school before. All this time, demons have been after mom, Aunt Paige, and Aunt Phoebe. But now since we're now the new power of three, demons might be coming after us." He thought, wondering what he would do if a demon did attack. "We can talk to mom after school." They parted ways and continued with their day at school.

"I have gained Chris' trust and possibly his other siblings." Bianca informed her master. He nodded in approval. Trust was something that he would need to be able to defeat the Halliwells. From watching past demons, just rushing in and going on a rampage only led to defeat. We weren't going to make that mistake again. (AN: Ohh….I wonder who he is….)

"Go and continue to gain their trust so no suspicions arrive when we start our next plan."

Chris and Mel returned home to find Leo sitting in the family room watching the football game. He turned when he heard the front door slam.

"Hey, dad. Where's mom?" Chris sat next to him and turned the TV off.

"She's at magic school filling in for the potions teacher." He snatched the remote from Chris and turned the TV back on, resuming his gaze on the game. (AN: Paige is still headmistress.)

"Magic school?" Mel raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. It's a place for new and young witches where they can learn and harness their powers and be able to protect themselves from evil." Leo answered, glaze not leaving the screen. Chris got up and brought out his hand, sensing her curiosity. Mel smiled and took his hand and brother and sister orbed to magic school.

Magic School

Mel couldn't take her eyes off the shelves and shelves of book that occupied the walls of the school. Teachers wearing black robes walked from one room to the next. 'Was that a leprechaun?' Mel was amazed at how different this school was to hers, yet so similar. Bustling staff and students, slamming doors and the loud voices of teachers lecturing filled the air. For what seemed like hours, Mel walked around, fascinated by the wonders of the school.

"C'mon, let's go get mom." Chris led her to the potions classroom.

"You know when your potion is ready when the potion is bubbling and/or smoke is arising. Sometimes it would explode. A very important tip is to bring multiple vials of your potion in case of any broken vials and that you have back ups. Always be very careful of your measurements. Too much of one thing could backfire the entire effect. For homework, I want you to read the rest of the chapter and there will be a pop quiz tomorrow. Class dismissed." Piper closed her book and walked towards her desk to clear her things off. She turned and prepared to leave when she saw Chris and Mel in the doorway with a smile on their face.

"Good morning Mrs. Halliwell." Mel joked. Piper blushed and grinned.

"Aw, come on. I was just winging it."

"You were a pro!" Chris took a seat and looked as if he were truly on depth in what was written on the blackboard.

"So, what are you two doing here?" trying to change the topic off her.

"We were wondering, since we are the new all and powerful Charmed Ones, wouldn't demons now be after us?" Piper sat and pondered.

"I would suppose so. I mean, Paige, Phoebe and I were constantly being attacked. But how would the demons even know that you guys are the new Power of Three? I mean, we could have a little fun with this. Keep them on their feet. We could also use this to our advantage."

"I can see how that could work. Seeing as how that's settled, then let's go home and have some pizza. I'm starving!" Chris got up, took Piper and Mel's hand and they left in a swirl of blue lights. During their conversation, they didn't see a student that was hiding under a desk, listening to the entire conversation. We walked out the classroom and headed out of the school where he could tell his master of the information.

Max (the student from before) appeared in the underworld. He had used a teleportation potion to teleport him to the underworld. He entered his master's lair and bowed to him.

"Do you have any new information of the Charmed ones?" he asked. Max grinned.

"Apparently, there is a new Power of Three. Piper's 3 children have formed the next generation of Charmed Ones and plan on using that against us." Max informed, wishing for a plentiful reward for his duties.

"Really? Now that there is a new generation of Charmed Ones, they must be inexperienced on how to use their powers together. Now, I want to test this new 'Power of Three.'" He waved his hand and a dozen demons appeared before him. "I want you to attack the Charmed Ones. I want you to target their kids especially." He did not want the other demons to know his little secret about the Halliwells. The less people know the bigger advantage he has. The demons nodded and shimmered out.

The Halliwells were seating around the table, eating pizza and discussing their day's events.

"Anything interesting happen in anyone's life today?" Paige inquired, taking a bite of her pepperoni pizza.

"I, um…had fun teaching the potion's class." Piper answered in an awkward tone. Phoebe couldn't take it anymore. She got up.

"I can't take this! There hasn't been a demon attack today. And you know they usually attack during dinner. This non-attack dinner is getting boring and you all know it!" She finished, dusted her pants, sat back down and continued consuming pizza. Leo was about to open his mouth when 12 demons shimmered in.

"Finally!" Piper exclaimed and flicked her wrists. Nothing happened.

"Why can't you blow them up?" Paige was getting worried.

"Ever since last night, my…'our' powers aren't as powerful as they were." She looked at Chris and Mel and nodded. Mel called for Wyatt (AN: remember he's in college) and when he orbed in, Chris tk-ed the demon into the banister, where it stabbed and killed the demon. Wyatt conjured an athame and launched it towards a demon and he was instantly killed.

"This is taking too long! One by one isn't fast enough." Chris wiped the sweat from his eyebrow. Because Piper, Phoebe, and Paige weren't the Charmed Ones, their powers weren't strong enough so they weren't that much of help. Piper was quickly scribbling a spell to vanquish the demons. Phoebe was using her martial arts and kicking the demons to wear them out. Paige was orbing whatever object came into her line of sight and throwing it at the closest demon.

"Done!" Piper jumped up and gave the spell to Wyatt. Mel and Chris walked to both sides of him and chanted the spell with him.

"Hear these words, hear this cry,

Siblings from the Halliwell line;

Vanquish these demons

From space and time." (AN: lame, I know. I'm not good at writing spells.)

When they finished, the demons were all engulfed in flames.

"That was fun!" Everyone looked at Paige, who had a smile on her face. "What? Ah, come on people, that was soo much better than just sitting around eating pizza!" everyone nodded. Leo walked up to his three children.

"Now that you are the Power of Three, you must be able to work together to get the job done." They nodded.

"Piper, since you're so skilled in potion making, maybe you can give me a few tips?" Piper nodded and led Mel upstairs to start their lesson. Wyatt clapped his hands together.

"Well, I should be heading back. My roommate might be wondering where I was." He orbed out. Phoebe left to go back to her apartment, and Paige went to her room to finish preparing schedules and Leo went to the elders to check what's been happening. Chris was about to check on Mel when Bianca shimmered in.

"Hey." She walked up to him. He smiled.

"What wrong?" she asked, hoping he hadn't figured her out.

"We need to talk." 'Oh, no! He figured me out!' she mentally screamed. "Why didn't you come back after you were healed?" Chris asked her softly. 'Whew, he didn't figure me out.' She sighed.

"After I healed, I followed you, to see how you were. I didn't want to ruin your life by coming back. I wanted you to move on. Without me." 'Yeah, that and I couldn't stand your guts.' She repulsed inside.

"I understand. Thank you." He smiled and kissed her. "He pulled back. "Can I tell you something?" she nodded. "I am now a Charmed One."

"As in the power of three?" She tried not to sound too eager for answers. 'Does that mean the Book of Shadows is part of him now?' Chris nodded. "So, what now?"

"I guess that Wyatt, Mel, and I are now the Charmed Ones. The book is now linked to us and we get to vanquish demons now."

'…the book is now linked to us…hmm, this is getting too easy.' Bianca almost jumped for joy. Now that the book is Chris' and she has his trust, the book and the ultimate power of the Charmed Ones is one-step closer. She had the upper hand than the imbecile 'master' had. She now had to go back to her apartment and continue to plan.

"I have to go back. Demons might be suspicious." He nodded and she shimmered out.

"So, Piper, do you know who 'Bianca' is?" Mel asked, putting an ingredient into the cauldron. Piper's face instantly paled.

"Why do you ask?" she didn't really want to talk about Bianca. She had caused Chris so much pain. So much torture. So many sleepless nights. She couldn't bear watching Chris going through that again.

"When I came back, Bianca had come back and she talked to Chris." Mel could feel the uneasiness from her mother.

'Damn her. How dare she just come back into his life and pretend she didn't cause him pain.' Piper's knuckles turned white from gripping the table so hard.

"Bianca was Chris' fiancée. Before she died." Piper answered. Mel turned to face her.

"But how was she in the manor? You said she died." Mel was officially confused.

"I can answer that for you." Chris stood in the doorway.

"Here, Mel. I can finish this for you. Why don't you and Chris go to your room and he can tell you." Mel and Chris exited the attic and Piper continued to put ingredients in the potion.

"What do you mean they killed all of them?" the evil figure slammed his fist into a wall, causing it to crack and the demon who told him to flinch.

"I…don't…know…I…heard…from…someone…that they…all…died…" his voice shaking, praying that he wouldn't suffer the same fate.

"Who told this to you!"

"I did." He turned and saw Bianca walking up to him. She was inches from him and gave a small smile.

"Do you know who I am!" she stayed where she was, not saying a word, not changing her facial expression.

"Of course, and I wouldn't want to make you mad." She said in a serious tone.

"Good. Now get out of my face." She shimmered out.

"Bianca was my fiancée. We loved each other more than life itself. You see, I lived two different lives. In my first one, Wyatt was evil." Shock crossed Mel's face. "He was after power. He had killed this family to attain it. Mom, Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe, dad, Uncle Dex, and you…were all dead. Bianca and I held a resistance against Wyatt with an army. But an army wasn't enough. I did the last thing I could think of. I went to the past and tried to stop Wyatt when he was a baby all those many years ago. I disguised myself as Chris Perry, so that I would grow attached to the family there and I couldn't let them know who I was." It was very difficult to Chris to think about his life before this. There was so much hurt and loss in that world. But he kept reminding himself that he had changed it and now he was safe. His family was safe. "One day, Bianca had come back from the future to find me. We went back to our time. Wyatt was waiting for us. He…he killed her right in front of me." Chris lowered his head, not allowing tears to fall.

"Look, Chris, if you don't want to talk about it, it's perfectly fine." Chris shook his head.

"You have to know. I'll be fine. Anyways, Bianca had died and I went back to the past because my mission wasn't complete and I had to save Wyatt. If not for him, then for Bianca. I ended up saving him at the cost of my life. But when I woke up, I was alive and the future was changed. It was like my old life never existed, only in my memory. But everyone still had the memories except Wyatt. That's why when I woke up, I was a different age. I was 17. I was 20 when I saved Wyatt. It was hard for me to transition 'back wards' but I got the hang of it. After we met you, was the first time that I had seen Bianca since those many years ago." Mel walked up and gave him a hug.

"Now we can do this together. With Bianca."

"With Bianca." Bianca looked at the Halliwells through her crystal. 'This is going all too well. Now I got the sister to trust me. Two down, one to go.' Unfortunately, it was going to be harder to persuade Wyatt than anyone else. He was already suspicious. 'Oh, well. I'll turn him like I turned you, Christopher Halliwell.'
It was a Saturday (AN: I know, many days have passed…) and Mel, Chris, and Wyatt were in the attic where the former Charmed Ones gave them a crash course on how use the Power of Three.

"Ok. So whenever you get a weird feeling, as if something's out of order, tell someone. Sometimes your gut feeling is the only clue you have to save someone's life and you shouldn't dismiss it." Paige learned that the hard way.

"What if we're in school and a demon attacks? We never really established that." Chris questioned. He didn't want to risk exposure, especially where his friends were.

"We could give you a spell or a potion that would freeze the school for a certain amount of time so you could vanquish the demon and then return to class." Phoebe shrugged.

"I suppose that could work. Seeing as how none of you can't freeze. I'll see if I can whip something up." Paige got up and searched through the Book of Shadows, to find something that they could use.

"What about the clean up? Vanquishes aren't always so clean." Wyatt put in.

"Use a spell to clean yourself up." Chris faked a gasp.

"Ms. Piper Halliwell suggesting a spell for personal gain? I thought the day would never come!" everyone laughed.

"It isn't for personal gain. If everyone unfreezes and you're covered in demon goo, questions may be asked." She defended. Mel walked up to Paige, to help with the potion.

"Hand me the rosemary." Paige instructed and Mel did so. "You want to put it in? So a pinch. Rosemary can be very…" Paige couldn't finish. Mel accidentally put a large amount of rosemary in the potion and the entire room turned to ice, leaving Mel shocked.

"Oops?"
