Chapter 3: Summoning Parents

Up in the attic, 10 minutes later…

"Right, we'll need the blood in this." Phoebe indicated a small cauldron. Piper and Paige were putting the candles down and lighting them. Leo was talking to Ron and Hermione, since he was the only one who knew about Hogwarts so they could tell him everything easier.

"Ok, how much blood?" Harry asked.

Phoebe got an athame out. "Not much, just enough to fall into the cauldron." Harry nodded. Phoebe looked over to Piper and Paige. "Hey are you guys done yet?"

"Yeah, have you done it yet?" Paige asked.

"Just about to. Right, this shouldn't hurt." Harry nodded. Over his years at Hogwarts, he had been through loads of pain so a little cut on his hand wouldn't be a big deal. Phoebe cut into his hand and Harry drew his hand into a fist so more blood would fall out. "Ok, that looks enough." Phoebe took the cauldron away and Leo came over to heal Harry's hand. But by the time he had got over there, Harry had got his wand out and healed it himself. Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked on in amazement while Leo didn't look phased at all.

"Wow, I didn't know that magic wands were real." Paige stated.

"Well, we didn't know that people could have specific powers until today." Hermione told them. "Is it nearly done then?"

"Yeah, we just need to say the spell. But you know the Elders could stop you from seeing your parents. They stop us from seeing our sister still." Piper thought of just after Prue died when she tried at least a dozen spells to summon her or bring her back. It pained her when she didn't return but it proved good because one of the spells she cast brought Paige to them.

"Ok, we're ready, stand around the circle." The three Hogwart's students stood beside each other opposite the Charmed Ones. Leo stood back and watched. Phoebe placed the cauldron in front of them, on the edge of the circle. Then the Charmed Ones chanted together. "Hear these words, Hear my cry, spirits from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide." Bright white lights appeared and swirled around and Harry got his hopes up. This was what happened in his dream. But then, without warning, they went out. Harry looked where the lights were, then looked at Piper.

"What happened? Where are they?"

"I'm sorry, we said it might not work." Piper looked at the floor. Suddenly an idea hit Piper. She looked around for Leo but he was not there any more. "Did anyone see where Leo went to?" They all shook their heads. Harry was still in shock of the spell not working. Why had it worked when they did it? The lights appeared when they summon that woman. Why did it not work with his parents. He blinked back a tear.

Meanwhile, 'Up there'…

Leo reappeared in the clouds, he felt sudden warmth around him, it had always done that to him. He went to look for Lily and James, The spell wasn't going to work so he decided to get them himself. They had built up a small friendship over the years, he was the first person to greet them, and he kept them informed of happenings they hadn't seen on Earth. He found them by the window to Earth. They were usually there, watching Harry, or occasionally Sirius or Remus. He watched them, watching their son. They were obviously watching Harry because he could see his family and Harry, Ron and Hermione in the attic. James looked up to see Leo standing, looking at them. He nudged Lily who looked at James, then Leo.

"Why didn't it work?" She asked.

"Never mind about that at the moment. Come with me. I'm taking you down personally. Harry really wants to see you. He needs to see you."

"But Leo, what if he doesn't recognise us. We are the only ones up here that have aged. Besides, we weren't supposed to see him until he found us." James said.

"He has found you, but the Elders blocked the summoning spell on you. And as for recognising you, you don't look too different to your pictures. Maybe a few wrinkles." Leo joked. He received a stare from them both that could break even Severus Snape. "Ok, I was kidding about the wrinkles. No, I really was Lily." He said still getting the stare. "Anyway, it's time for you to go meet your 16 year old son."

"So we can go now? The waiting is really over this time?" Lily got up and walked towards Leo, with James close behind.

"Yes. I'll go down to them first. When I call for you, come down together, ok?" Lily and James both gave an affirmative nod and Leo orbed back down to Earth.

Lily drew in a very deep breath as she and James looked at each other. "Sure you're ready for this?" James asked.

"As I'll ever be James." Lily replied to her husband and hugged him close.

Back in the attic…

"Leo, you get your Whitelighter ass down here now or I'll…" She never finished because he orbed in right in front of her. "Where the hell did you go to?"

"Up 'there'. I've got a surprise for Harry." He looked up expectantly. "Ok, you can come now."

"Leo who are you talking to?" Piper asked but before Leo could answer her, two people, a man and woman, orbed into the room, right in front of Harry. The woman had deep red hair and bright green, almost emerald, eyes that Harry always saw when he looked in a mirror. The man had messy black hair, familiar round glasses and a lopsided grin that Harry could pull off, without even knowing it, all of the time. In front of him were two people he had seen in pictures time and time again but had never been able to meet. In front of them were James and Lily Potter.

Omg, how fluffy is that? Just to warn you, this is kinda a 'Harry accepts his parents are back straight away' kind of story, but not like the following:

James: Hi Harry, we're back from the dead.
Harry: wow, that's cool. I love you mum and dad.
Lily: Us too. Now give us a hug and we can go beat up my sister.

(Throws up) That is just too fluffy! Plus they have a reason for being back and it is very plausible so NYEH to you!
