Chapter Two: Arrival and Out of Place
Professor Albus Dumbledore stood in front of a large portrait of himself as he addressed the teachers at Hogwarts.
"The Charmed Ones are coming here to help us. I don't know what to do except to have them come here and investigate."
"But they aren't wizards. They won't know our customs." said a greasy haired man.
"Severus, that aside, they are the only ones who can help us. I don't even know what a demon is."
"What are we to do with their children?" said Snape.
"We shall place them in classes." answered Dumbledore.
"Oh, and in what house? And what about when the kids learn of their abilities?"
"I will sort them with the hat, and I will advise them not to use their powers. I have everything planned out so don't worry. They should be arriving shortly."
The teachers stood in the office waiting for the magical guests to arrive.
There were a couple flashes of white and blue light, and a big flame and the Halliwells were standing in the office.
"Ah, you must be the Halliwell's." said Dumbledore walking forward.
"And you are?" asked Piper, who stepped forward.
"I am Professor Dumbledore. Welcome to Hogwarts. These are my colleagues. Professor's McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, Sprout and our nurse Madame Pomfrey."
"Hi, I'm Piper. This is my husband Leo, and our son's Wyatt and Chris." smiled Piper.
"I'm Phoebe and this is my son, Damien."
"And I'm Paige, and that is my daughter, Maria."
"Welcome. I ask that you please comply with certain rules. One, no powers around other students. Two, you must be in robes at all times. Three, you mustn't reveal to anyone that you are from the other world."
"Those are easy enough for us to follow. Thank you. So where will we be dorming?" asked Phoebe.
"In a hidden chamber, but first, we must enroll your children as students."
"What? No one said we would have to go to class!" exclaimed Maria.
"In order to keep your identities hidden you must. I will be placing you in Gryffindor. And you will all be in the sixth year except Wyatt. He won't have to enroll."
"That is so not fair." muttered Chris at his older brother. They were only a year apart, considering he was conceived on Wyatt's first birthday.
"Now if you will all follow me to your dorms." smiled Dumbledore as he led the way out of his office.
All of the witches were memorized by the beauty that was Hogwarts.
"This is the Dwelling, where you will all be staying." DUmbledore said as he led the Charmed Ones into an elaborate room. The walls were blue, and there was a bookcase on one wall, a fireplace on another, and a small closet.
There was a staircase leading upstairs.
"There are four bedrooms upstairs. Each door as the occupants name on it. Inside you will find robes, which you will have to wear each day." Dumbledore explained.
The witches nodded.
"Chris, Maria, and Damien, would you come with me, I will show you to your rooms." Dumbledore said as he led the way out of the Dwelling.
The three followed the bearded man out of the Dwelling into the hallway. They were then led to the Gryffindor common room, which was empty, for the students would arrive tomorrow.
"The password is belthazar, I picked it in honor of your arrival. Chris and Maria looked at their cousin, Damien.
"I must advise you that you shouldn't use your abilities here, for the students don't understand your wandless magic, they might consider it evil."
"Well, how do we defend ourselves if anyone should mess with us? They have wands, and we can't use wands according to my dad because we aren't wizards." Chris said really fast.
"They won't mess with you, and if they do, I guess it would be fair for you to defend yourselves using your powers."
"Thank you, Professor." Damien said politely, as he looked around the location.
"You are welcome. In your dorms, you will find a schedule and books, and of course Gryffindor robes. Dinner is a five tonight, I shall see you there." he said smoothly and walked away.
Maria looked at Chris. "Let's check this place out."
The three entered the common room and were amazed by its beauty. They had never seen such an elegant room before.
Maria went inside her room. A room she shared with three other girls, Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, and Parvati Patil according to the name plaques on the door. She found her suitcase and backpack on the bed, and in the corner of her bed was a uniform, which she found absolutely repulsive, and a pile of books. There were three things she hated: demons, school, and bad clothes.
She went over to the mirror in the corner of the room, and looked at her reflection. She was a very attractive young woman. Her brown hair was the same length as her Aunt Piper's, and her eyes were brown, and emotion full like her mother. She went over to her suitcase, and took a picture, and placed it on the counter in front of the mirror. It was a picture of her and her boyfriend, Justin. Justin was seventeen, and a senior at the high school she attended, although she would be starting her junior year. She had so many firsts with Justin: first weed encounter, first keg party, and first time having sex. Her favorite was the sex, for partying wasn't her thing. She loved him.
Damien and Chris went into their room, which according to the plaque they were to share with a Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Neville Longbottom. Just like in Maria's room, the uniforms were laid out as well as the books they would need. Damien didn't mind school, Chris on the other hand hated it. Damien and Chris looked nothing alike, they don't even look like cousins. Chris had dark brown hair and matching eyes, like his mother. Wyatt resembled more of Leo. Damien on the other hand, had black hair, and ocean blue eyes.
Chris placed a picture of him and his girlfriend on the night table between his and Damien's bed. Molly was a nice girl but seemed too into herself, or so Damien thought. Chris was only in it for the sex, but again that's only what Damien thought. He had come out of the closet a year ago to his mother and family, all of whom were accepting. His dad had trouble understanding it, but came around eventually.
Damien reached inside his coat pocket, and pulled out a pack of Marlboro Lights, and lit one up. He had been smoking cigarettes for two years, and no one in the family approved, but they knew they couldn't stop him, because no matter what, Damien would outlive them all.
"If you insist on doing that shit, you better blow it out the window." Chris said, as he started to unpack.
"Okay." Damien agreed as he unzipped his suitcase as well.
At around five o'clock, Chris, Maria and Damien left Gryffindor common room, and headed downstairs to the Great Hall to indulge in a meal.
"Hey mom." Maria greeted her mother, who was dressed in a robe, which was purple.
"Hi sweetheart. I don't know if this robe thing is working out with me." Paige bitched.
"Well, at least you don't have a wool skirt." she mouthed silently. Paige's face made a look of disgust.
Dinner had started, and Dumbledore picked the conversation topic. He was highly interested in their Wiccan powers.
"So what are your powers, if I might ask?"
Piper rose to the occasion as usual. "I can freeze time, and blow objects up."
"No witch or wizard can freeze time." Snape said stonily.
"Well this witch can." Piper said with an attitude as she flicked her wrist and Snape froze in place. "He needs a time out."
"I can orb things with my mind, orb, sense my family members, and shape shift." Paige rattled off her list of powers.
The freeze wore off, and he wasn't aware that five minutes had already passed.
"I can get premonitions, levitate, and I am an empath." Phoebe said proudly.
"Premonitions?" Snape said skeptically. The only person anyone knew of to get premonitions was Trelawney.
Phoebe ignored his rude comment.
"I can flame in and out, levitate and create energy balls." Damien answered.
"From what I've read about demons, I heard that energy balls are a demonic power." Dumbledore pointed out.
"That's right. I'm half demon. My father is the Source of All Evil." Damien remarked.
"So, you are what? The prince of evil?" Snape asked with a smirk.
"That would correct."
"So, Dumbledore, I think we found our demon problem."
Damien's face contorted with anger. He stood up, his chair falling to the ground. A blue crackling ball of energy resting in his right palm, "I can incinerate you with this." he threatened Snape.
"Damien Cole Halliwell-Turner, you will put out that energy ball and not threaten the teachers." Phoebe ordered her son, who complied to his mother's instruction.
"Sorry." Damien sneered with a laugh.
"Mr. Halliwell, after that little display, I can guarantee you a hard time in my class." Snape said.
"Oh what class would that be? How to neglect Washing you hair? Oh, and it's Halliwell-Turner not just Halliwell."
"I'll ignore that. I teach potions."
"Really? Because you see, me and my cousins grew up making potions. My favorite would be the one that turns people into turkeys."
Snape glared and continued eating his dinner. Damien hated Snape, there was something about him that he couldn't put his hand on, something that struck at Damien's nerves, something violent, almost evil. He wasn't sure.
"May we ask, how you know there is a demon?" Piper asked.
"There have been several unexplained happenings, and scorch marks left on walls, where pictures and other items once stood." Dumbledore explained.
"Can it be something from your world?" Wyatt asked.
"We've already ruled out the usual and unusual suspects." McGonagall inputted.
"Okay, well, as we are undercover we can investigate. Maria and I both wield the power of premonition, we can see what we can get." Phoebe added, looking at her niece who nodded.
"What are you so skeptical about Snape?" Maria asked.
"I didn't say anything."
"Yeah, but your emotions did. I am also an empath."
"Maria's right, I too got a sense of disbelief about our powers."
Snape looked away and ignored them.
Maria and her Aunt Phoebe have the same powers except where Phoebe has levitation, Maria has orbing. Maria feels most magically connected to Phoebe, but more personally to her mother, Paige.
"We need you to believe us, or it will come off as you have something to hide. We don't have to be here, so I suggest you believe that we are genuine." Phoebe said.
Damien looked at Snape, the problem there was that Snape was hiding something, something that even empathy couldn't pick up. It was the second nature of a demon to sense what isn't, and there it was on Snape like a bad after shave, a secret, one that could compromise everything.
I'll figure you out. Damien thought to himself.
There's chapter two, I hope everyone likes, yes it''s different than the first Demons and Wizards but I like to think of it as for the best! Review!!
