"Demons and Wizards"

Chapter One: the Letter
Paige Matthews, a resident Charmed One, orbed into the kitchen after a long night of restless sleep. Her shoulder length brown hair (the color her hair was in the season six finale) pulled into a tight pony tail, with strands frizzing out. Her eyes red and blotchy.
"Paige, you look like death." said Piper, her second eldest sister after the late Prue, whom she never met.
"I know. I've been having strange dreams lately. They keep me up at night." she yawned.
"What about?" asked Piper, who was cracking eggs into a bowl.
" I don't know. Why are you dressed already?"
"Well its Sunday, and it's the kids last Sunday before school starts again, and its almost eleven." smiled Piper, who was wearing a red short sleeve shirt, and blue jeans. Her long brown hair pulled up into a neat high pony tail.
"Ugh." moaned Paige as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
Phoebe and her son, Damien, entered the kitchen laughing merrily about some joke.
"Hey what is with the laughing?" asked Piper, who was scrambling eggs at the stove.
"Nothing. Paige, sleep much?" asked Phoebe, who was smiling.
"No. Why is everyone dressed? I know it is like eleven in the morning, but come on."
"Well the kids and I are going school shopping in a little bit." said Phoebe, who wore her dark brown hair down, and had on a white skirt, and a blue peasant shirt.
"Oh, how come I didn't know about this?"
"I don't know, Maria didn't tell you?"
"No, she is so distant lately. I'm going to go change." she yawned and orbed out of the room.
"Aunt Paige needs to sleep more." said Damien as he took a seat at the table. He was wearing blue jeans, and a green polo shirt. His brown hair gelled, and under a hat.
Piper and Phoebe laughed.
"Phoebe call the kids." said Piper as she placed a bowl of scrambled eggs on the dining room table, along with two platters of bacon and a platter of toast. It took a lot of time and energy to cook for eight people.
In ten minutes flat, three more kids came running down the stairs, while Leo and Paige orbed in.
Wyatt, the oldest, wore a red teeshirt and black jeans, his blonde hair messed up from sleep. Chris had on navy track pants, and a matching zip up sweatshirt, and lastly Maria had on a pink sun dress.
"Mom it looks great." smiled Chris as he dove in and ate.
"Thanks sweetie. After this, I think Aunt Phoebe is taking you all to get school stuff." said Piper.
The four kids and Phoebe piled into her van at about eleven-forty-five. Piper was left to clean the dishes, while Leo went to see the Elders. Paige was busy in the attic trying to find a meaning behind dreams.
"Paige!!" came Piper's voice up the stair well and into the attic. Paige, alarmed, quickly orbed out.
She orbed in the kitchen about thirty seconds later to find, Piper cleaning a broken plate off the ground, and an owl frozen in the air.
"Piper? Why is there a frozen owl in the kitchen?"
"I don't know. It just appeared, out of no where. I panicked and froze it."
"Uhm, did you bother to see what it was holding?" asked Paige as she carefully pulled a letter out from the frozen animal.
"What's it say?" asked Piper earnestly.
Paige read:
To The Charmed Ones and family,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you because of a demonic disturbance we are experiencing. Several of our students have been acting rather weirdly. Our magic is unable to help, and we were hoping that your magic might. Bring who you must, we need you in this dire time. Please arrive at Hogwarts School by Monday, August 30. Your help is most appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Professor Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster
"Leo!" yelled Piper, who really needed an explanation of this.
Leo orbed in quickly.
"What is it honey?"
"Hogwarts sent us a letter. What is it?" asked Piper, who was confused.
"Hogwarts is a wizarding school in England. Very different magic. The reason they are calling to you is because demons aren't something they have experience with. I think we should go, because you never know who might die."
"Fine. Someone call Phoebe." said Paige as she orbed the owl outside.
Phoebe rushed home with the kids and all gathered in the living room. Piper was in there flipping through the Book, while Paige re read the letter.
"What is going on?" asked Damien, who took a seat next to his cousins.
"We are going to England. A magic school, called Hogwarts is in danger from demons, and they asked for our help. You will all be attending. Go now, and pack what you need. According to the book, no electricity dependant things work there." said Piper.
"No hair dryer?" said Maria sounding sad.
"That's right. Now go. We leave in an hour because of the time change."
The four teens left, three orbed and one flamed out.
An hour later, everyone was gathered in the foyer of the manor. Piper was placing the Book into a bag, while Phoebe ran around frantically watering the flowers.
"How long are we going for?" asked Damien.
"As long as we are needed." said Piper. "Everyone follow Leo's trail."
Leo smiled and orbed out, holding onto Piper and Phoebe. Paige, Wyatt, Chris and Maria orbed by themselves and Damien flamed out.
That's chapter one. Please review!
