Summary: This is a Charmed/HP crossover. Payton Halliwell is the daughter of Phoebe Halliwell and only female legacy in the Halliwell family. When the sisters are summoned to Hogwarts, Payton must follow. Will she adjust to living in a witch's world after or will she find herself an outcast among her kind?
"Payton?"
Phoebe went in search of her teenage daughter. "Hello?" she called out as she walked up the stairs leading to the attic. She saw the door ajar and peeked into the large room. She smiled when she saw her only child sitting Indian style on the wooden floor, the Book of Shadows spread open in her lap. She was lost in her thoughts and Phoebe hated to interrupt her. Still, the letter from Hogwarts was urgent. She wondered how her daughter would take the news about having to leave her friends and her life in San Francisco and move to an unknown world of open witchcraft.
Payton looked up suddenly, feeling another's presence. "Mom?"
Phoebe smiled and walked into the room. "Sorry to disturb you honey, but we need to talk. Something has come up."
Payton knew that look on her mother's face. It meant something serious was about to happen. "Please tell me it isn't going to affect my date with Tom this weekend."
"Well," Phoebe began, knowing she was about to change her daughter's world, "I guess it will."
Payton sighed and closed the book, carefully putting it back on its pedestal. "What is it now?" She waited to hear what her mother would say. It seemed like something was always coming up to ruin her life. She longed to be a regular teenager, even if only for one day. To toss aside all the cares in her life and be free of all that she had to be burdened with.
"You know how Aunt Paige helps run Magic School?" Phoebe began.
Payton nodded, "Yes, I know all about magic school. Aunt Paige has taken me there many times."
"Well, that is just one school. There are several magic schools throughout the world. One in particular is run by a wizard named Albus Dumbledore. He is a good friend of Uncle Leo's. Things have been happening over there and well, they have asked for our help."
Payton's eyes looked into her mother's. "And this affects me how exactly?"
"The school is in the United Kingdom," Phoebe continued, noticing exactly how much her daughter looked like her father Dex. It was times like these that she wished she had not been a single parent. Her heart hurt as she thought about Dex and how he had been killed by a demon when Payton was only a toddler.
Payton shrugged, "So you will orb over and help and be back by dinner time right?"
"Well honey, it isn't quite that simple."
"Sure it is," Payton said with a smile.
Phoebe sighed. This was going to be complicated. "Payton, you know you are special."
"Oh God mother!" she cried out. "Not 'this special talk' again. I know I am an heir to your legacy. I know I am the next generation of the Charmed Ones. I know I need to be protected, taught, and nurtured so that one day I can step into your shoes. I know all of this."
Phoebe smiled at her daughter and let out a short laugh. "You always were smarter than your own good." She went over and pulled her daughter into her arms. "I know it will not be easy for you. I had my sisters there for me. You will be alone."
"Well if aunt Piper would ever pop out a girl or if Aunt Paige ever settled down with one guy and had a daughter, I wouldn't be in this alone."
"You got that right," Phoebe laughed. She knew Piper's sons, Wyatt and Chris were well loved and precious to the Halliwell family, but they did not help in the family legacy. That would fall on her daughter's shoulders alone. "We will need to leave tonight to go to Hogwart's. You will be enrolled there as a student for this upcoming school year."
Payton opened her mouth to protest but Phoebe gave her a warning look. "No, you have to hear me out," she said. "Remember me telling you about the Source? Well they have a powerful evil by the name of Lord Voldemort. Your aunts and I, along with Leo and the other wizards and witches over there, will be working closely together on destroying him and his followers. I need you to befriend a certain young man by the name of Harry Potter. He is a year younger than you are." She continued to fill her daughter in on how Harry had escaped Voldemort when his family was killed. Payton listened without making a sound, fascinated by what her mother told her.
When Phoebe was finished speaking, Payton sighed but nodded her head. "I'll do it."
"Thanks sweetie. It won't be so bad; you'll see. You will be around people your age. You will not have to hide that you are a Charmed One in training."
This made Payton laugh. She had always hated the fact that she could never tell her friends about her being a witch. "I'll let you pack and when you are ready come downstairs. We will leave tonight for the Weasley's. You will be staying with them until the semester starts at Hogwart's. They are a wonderful family and I know that you will be safe there. Remember, evil would love the chance to take you out so that you will not take over the Halliwell destiny. With everything going on over there, I think it will be safest for you to be in Hogwart's with Harry."
Payton nodded and left the attic quickly so that she could pack. Phoebe sighed and went to see if Paige and Piper had anymore information about the Order of the Phoenix. It was a close group of witches and wizards who had banded together to stop this Voldemort from coming back to power. Somehow, she didn't think this trip would be fun.
