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 or will she find herself an outcast among her kind?

"Did he pretend to be me?" George repeated his question. Payton laughed and looked out the window of the train. She did not want to rat out Fred but she didn't want to lie to George either.

With a sigh she turned back to the red headed guy and smiled. "It doesn't really matter. He was just trying to be helpful."

George eyed her skeptically. At least she wasn't mad. That was a good thing he supposed. "I'm sure he was," he finally said as he sat down opposite from her and looked out the window. The scenery rushed by as the train sped towards Hogwarts. He hoped that one they were there, the school wouldn't just swallow her up, making it hard for him to spend time with her. "So you are supposed to keep an eye on Harry this year?"

Payton looked at him. "That's why my mom says I'm here, but honestly, I think she just wants me out of the way."

"Why do you say that?"

Payton shrugged. "Well, ever since my dad died because of a demon attack, my mom thinks something is going to happen to me. She thinks by sending me to Hogwarts, it will be safer for me."

George thought about all of the crap that had happened at Hogwarts in the past few years. Obviously Payton's mom had not heard about them. "So, will you watch me and Fred when we practice Quiddich later? No doubt Angelina will have us all practicing as soon as the first years are sorted."

Payton wasn't really sure what he was talking about but she nodded yes. "Sure, I'd like to watch."

George smiled. It was a start in the right direction at least. The train hit a bump and jerked, knocking one of Payton's bags onto the floor. George reached for it at the same time she did and they collided. "Ouch!"

"Ow!"

Oops, sorry," George said as he handed her back her bag and laughed.

Payton rubbed her head and laughed too, realizing just how close he was to her. Their lips were only a few inches apart. If the train were to jerk again, they might even touch.

George stayed still, looking into her eyes as he realized that she had not moved away. It was like one of those scenes straight out of one of those silly romance novels that he had seen Ginny reading once. Only now that it was happening to him, he didn't think it quite so silly anymore.

Payton felt her heartbeat quicken as she noticed him moving closer to her. A part of her warned to sit back, to not let it happen, yet another part of her longed to see what his lips felt like.

As she was silently fighting with herself, George let his lips brush gently across hers. A shock of excitement rushed through his body and he waited with baited breath for her reaction.

Payton moved back and brought her hand to her lips; her eyes not leaving his.

"I'm sorry," he said when he saw that she was not smiling. "I didn't mean to upset you. I couldn't help myself. You and I were just so close and I just wanted to..."

She held up her hand to silence him. "It's alright," she said. She sent him a small smile to alleviate his fears. "It just surprised me. Fred said you were the shy one."

George laughed. "I knew he was up to no good in here!"

"He was only trying to help," Payton explained. "Apparently he and Angelina think we need help in hooking up."

"Ahh," George said with a grin on his face. "I should have known. Ever since those two feel in love they think everyone should be in love."

Payton shrugged. "They mean good, that is what counts."

"Yeah, but I wish sometimes they would let me just go at my own pace." He stretched out his long lean frame and said, "I'd have eventually charmed you over without their help."

Payton was surprised by the cockiness of his words. "George Weasley!" she laughed. "Does that mean that you do like me then?"

"Yeah."

His word was simple and direct. He liked her. Payton felt a blush coming on and inwardly sighed. She liked him, but was she really ready for any type of a relationship? No doubt it would only bring on problems for her. She did not want a complicated life right now.

The train suddenly stopped and Payton realized that they were at their destination. 'Saved by the train stop,' she said silently to herself as she grabbed her bags and opened the door. George silently cursed the timing and followed her out of the compartment into the hustle and bustle of the crowded hallway. If only they would have had a little more time to talk about how they felt. She knew that he liked her, but she had not told him how she felt.

"Fred! Put me down!" Angelina squealed as she was tossed over her boyfriend's should and carried off of the train.

Fred set her down onto her feet and looked at her puzzled. "You said I never offer to carry things for you."

"I meant my bags you idiot!" she playfully smacked him in the arm and he pulled her into an embrace.

"I love it when you beat me," he growled as he kissed her and pushed her up against the closest tree.

"Really you two," Hermione said as she shook her head. "Do they always have to be so openly affectionate?" she asked Ron.

Ron shrugged as he tugged his and Hermione's bags down from the train. "Hormones I guess."

"Well we never act like that in public."

Ron exchanged a look with Harry. "If I ever tried that with you, you would knock my teeth out no doubt."

"You're right," she nodded. "Such things should be done privately." She looked away from the couple who were now groping each other and stalked off toward an awaiting carriage. Ron sighed and looked at his brother who was practically having sex with his girlfriend in public. "Bloody hell," he said to them as he walked off after Hermione.

Ginny took Harry's hand in her and led him after Ron and Hermione. "They're in love Ron, leave them be."

"It doesn't bother me any, I just wish Hermione was more open about things."

Payton stepped off of the train and saw carriages lined up, obviously waiting to take them up to the school. She caught a glimpse of Harry and Ginny ahead and was about to join them when she saw a familiar red head pop up beside her. "This way," George said as he pulled her into one of the waiting carriages.

"I'm supposed to be watching Harry," she reminded him.

"Aww he'll be alright with everyone else around," George said as he urged the driver to take off despite only having two passengers. He really wanted a few more minutes alone to talk with Payton.

The carriage leaped forward and Payton, startled, grabbed hold of whatever was closest to her; George.
