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?

Arthur Weasley arrived home with Albus Dumbledore just in time to greet their guests. Molly smiled at Dumbledore and straightened Arthur's collar as the blue lights circled around their living room. Ron and Ginny stood by the stairs as they waited to get a glimpse of their new house guest. Fred and George came rushing down the stairs, almost running over their younger siblings as the Charmed ones and their family took form.

"It is so nice to finally have you here," Molly said as she went over and greeted Piper, Phoebe, and the rest of the Halliwells. Leo introduced the others to his family and Payton found herself smothered in a hug from Mrs. Weasley. "We are so happy to get to know you Payton," she said as she hugged the girl. "Ginny and the rest of my children are anxious to make a new friend."

Payton smiled and looked at the Weasley children gathered by the stairway. The girl looked genuinely pleased and the youngest boy looked a bit wary of her. She glanced at the two taller boys and noticed that they were mirror images of each other. Twins. One thing she did see was that all of the Weasleys had bright ginger colored hair. She had to admit, it was different than she was used to, but it suited the young girl and Payton thought she was rather pretty.

"Ginny dear," Molly said as she motioned towards her daughter. "Come and say hello to Payton." Ginny walked over to the girl but not before she noticed her mother's warning look she cast at Fred and George.

"Hello," Ginny said with a smile. Payton smiled back and was about to ask her how old she was when her mother came over to her. Phoebe hugged her close. "I'm gonna miss you sweetie," she said as she brushed a chestnut curl behind her daughter's ear. "I'm not sure how long we will be away, but Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will take good care of you and if you need anything, they can get a hold of us." Payton felt like holding onto her mother and begging her not to leave her there but she did not want to appear weak in front of the others.

A knock at the door sounded and Ron ran to open it. "Harry!" he said with glee as he moved aside so that Harry and Hermione could enter. Payton looked at the new guy in the room. She had been told all about him and she could not help but notice that he had a 'lost' look in his eyes. He had been through so much.

She turned back to her mother. "You and he have a bit in common honey," Phoebe whispered to her. "He too has been through great evil. He has gone up against demonic forces. Hopefully you two will bond over that. I want you to watch out for him as best as you can alright?"

Payton nodded and watched as her mother stepped away and rejoined the rest of the Halliwell's. she held back a tear as she watched her family orb away.

Arthur kissed his wife and he and Dumbledore went over to the fireplace. Payton watched curiously as the men tossed powder into the fireplace and then stepped inside and disappeared. She looked questioningly at Mrs. Weasley. "Floo powder," the woman said with a smile. "I'm sure things will be different for you, but soon you will settle right in."

Molly turned to Fred and George and said, "Well might as well make yourselves useful and take Payton's bags up to Percy's old room. She will be staying there while she is here."

Payton watched as the twins each grabbed one of her suitcases and hurried upstairs. "Go ahead," Mrs. Weasley told her. "They will show you where you will be staying."

Payton followed Fred and George up the stairs and noticed the others were following her. She could hear them whispering behind her. They no doubt had been filled in on who she was just as she had been told about Harry.

She entered the room in which the older brothers had gone. It was bright and cheery and looked to be spotless. George set her suitcase down on the bed and looked at the girl. "I'm George," he said with a grin. "This here is Fred."

"Never mind them," Hermione said as she pushed Fred and George out of the way and stood in front of Payton. She introduced herself and then came right out and asked, "So you are a Charmed One then?"

Payton sighed and sat down on the bed. "My mother and her sisters are the Charmed Ones. I'm not exactly one until the legacy is passed down to me."

"Can you do super magic? Like without a wand?" Ginny asked curiously.

Payton laughed, "Super magic? Umm no. I can do some things but I guess, from what I've been told, our magic and your magic is very different."

"Do you do spells and curses?" Ron asked. Hermione elbowed him in the side. "Ow! What'd you do that for?" he asked her.

"Mrs. Weasley wouldn't want us to interrogate the poor girl on her first night here," Hermione stated. Payton was thankful to the girl for getting her out of answering questions; at least for now.

Payton's eyes wandered over to Harry and settled on the scar that was peeking out from beneath his bangs. "My mother has told me all about you Harry," she said, hoping to make him feel more comfortable with her. "She says we are a lot a like. I hope we can be friends."

Harry knew the girl had looked at his scar but he was getting used to that now. It seemed to be the first thing that everyone saw when they met him. "Sure," he answered her.

"We'll all be friends," Hermione interrupted. "I heard you would be starting at Hogwarts with us in a few weeks as well?"

"Ah yes," Payton said, "magic school."

"You'll like Hogwarts," Hermione continued. "They have a lot of great teacher's there and you can learn a lot."

"I've never really cared much for school," Payton said to be honest and she noticed Hermione frown.

"See Hermione, she is normal like the rest of us," Ron teased, which earned him yet another poke in the side by Hermione.

"Academics are the most important thing in a person's life. It is the building blocks on which they can base their future."

Payton wanted to laugh at her seriousness but was beaten to it by Fred and George. The twins burst into a fit of giggles at Hermione who stood there and scowled at them.

Suddenly, Payton found herself sandwiched between them. She looked from one to the other. "Hogwarts can be fun," Fred said, "If you know how to have fun that is," George continued.

"We know how to have fun right George?"

"Right, Fred."

Hermione threw her hands up in the air. "Listen to me," she warned Payton. "Do NOT trust these two."

Fred and George looked offended and Payton had to laugh at their expressions. "I'll keep that in mind," she promised Hermione.

"Good," she answered as she took Ron's hand and looked at the others. "Why don't we give Payton a chance to settle in and unpack? We will wait for you downstairs."

Payton felt grateful again to Hermione for getting everyone out of her room. She did indeed need a little time to herself to let all of this sink in. She knew it would take time to adjust; she just hoped that it wouldn't take too long.
