Here's the next chapter have fun and review Please

it makes me happy


Melinda Penelope Halliwell led a sad existence. She had been kidnapped at 13 and been trapped in a medical hellhole ever since. Sometimes when she looked out her little door window she could see other kids walking by, she hoped this meant that she wasn't alone. She had never seen any of her cousins or either of her brothers, she was surprisingly happy about this. That meant that they were still free and not stuck here like her.

The 'doctors' wanted to know if, since magic is carried in the blood, if they could give it to others. When Mel had pointed out that the last mortal who had tried that had died, they had ignored her and continued their rather insane plan.

Mel sighed and looked around her 'room', white and sterile, it matched her clothes, white and sterile. She flopped down on her bed and concentrated once more on contacting dear little Chrissy. She could have sworn that months ago she had gotten through, but nothing had happened since. Closing her eyes she fell into a deep mediative trance.

Several minutes later she was awoken by loud voices that seemed to be arguing. Swinging her legs around and walking to the window in the door she glanced out and gasped.

Several of the white coats were walking down the hall, they all seemed to be talking to one person. An older teen with blond curly hair and brown eyes, an older teen that looked extremely familiar. Wyatt. For a minute Mel hoped that it meant he was here to save her, that is until he spoke.

"Someone knows about this place, you have blown your cover. I want security tightened and no one that has a magical signature, but me allowed in. Am I understood?" Wyatt barked at the cowering white coats.

"Yes sir, always sir." One said, wisely taking a meek voice. Another one wasn't so wise.

"What do you mean our cover is blown?" he asked. " We have taken every precaution that you gave us."

Wyatt stopped walking long enough to pin him with a cold hard stare. "Because I know, and that is a good enough reason for me. Or Dr. Hollingsworth do I have to remind you who keeps the demons away from their kidnapped children?"

Dr. Hollingsworth wilted under the stare, he knew what Wyatt was capable of and preferred to stay alive.

Wyatt nodded, pleased that he was taken seriously and continued to walk, the rest of the doctors scrambled after him.

Mel stayed where she was in complete shock, Wyatt had done this? She started shaking and a sickening feeling washed over her. Did this mean that her parents were part of it too? Is that why she couldn't contact Chris even though he and she had a deep connection?

Mel sat on her bed again and let the despair wash over her.

Hermione clutching the ruined book in her hands walked into the common room searching for Harry and Ron. She spotted them playing chess next to the fireplace.

"Harry, Ron, look what I found in the library." she placed the book on the table, and turning made sure that Chris wasn't in the room.

"It's a book Hermione, I'm told that there are several of these there." Ron commented and turned back to the game. "Rook to E3."

"No, look at the bloody title!" she cried, hitting Ron upside the head and turning to Harry.

"It's about Chris's family!" he said in surprise, opening the book and flipping through it. " Hey there are pages missing everywhere!"

"What?" Hermione snatched it away from him and flipped through it as well. Sure enough more than the back pages had been torn out.

There were pages missing in the family section, the Piper section, the children of Charmed section, and the picture section. There was even a family picture where only two people's heads had been ripped out leaving everyone else.

The trio cocked their heads and studied Chris's family, Harry and Ron vaguely remembered that Chris had said a lot on the train, but none of it was coming back. Hermione found Chris, he looked about 10, sitting at the feet of a woman that could only be his mother. They had the same face. Chris had his arm thrown around the girl sitting next to him, they both had large grins and looked completely happy, Hermione realized that it must be Mel that he was sitting with. She shrugged and looked over the rest of the large family, all brown haired and powerful.

"What is so important that someone felt the need to rip apart a book?" Harry mused out loud.

"Chris's past," Ron said after a minute, he could feel when the other two turned and looked at him. "He is the only one here that might feel the need to hide something about his family. It's the only thing that makes sense."

"You are right Ron." Hermione seemed surprised to even be saying it. "That is the only plausible explanation right now. Should we ask him about it?"

"Nah, lets keep this between us for right now." Harry decided before heading upstairs to get some sleep.

Chris awoke to hear someone throwing up, sounded like it was coming from Harry's bed. His other clue was that Ron was freaking out and asking Harry what was wrong and if he was okay. Chris heard someone leave and return a few minutes later with Professor McGonagall. Harry, Ron, and McGonagall quickly left after Harry said something about Mr. Weasley getting attacked. Chris had never really woke up all at once, took him several minutes really which use to annoy his mother to no end. He sat up and pulled his curtains away from his bed and looked at his other dorm mates. Neville was sitting nervously at the end of his bed, staring at where Ron had been standing not 2 minutes ago and Seamus and Dean were talking in the background. He caught Seamus saying something about Harry being a nutter and decided to butt in.

"Seamus, Harry isn't crazy and you shouldn't take what the mass media says as true."

Seamus now turned to him and Chris could see that he was angry and confused.

"You don't know what the hell is going on, so shut up!"

"I know that you are letting your mother and a newspaper effect how you treat people. But be glad that you have a mother to have an affect on you as Harry will never have that." With that all said and done, Chris got up and stormed from the room. He forgot that he was only wearing lipstick kisses printed boxer shorts.

Chris entered the common room and was surprised to see Romilda Vane who he had seen following Harry around.

"Oh hi," she said with a huge blush on her cheeks. He wondered what was wrong with her, all that had happened was that they had met in the common room in the middle of the night.

"What's up?" he asked.

She appeared puzzled for a minute and then answered "The ceiling?"

"What? Oh no, I meant, how are you?" Chris smiled apologetically and she blushed even harder.

Chris looked at her in puzzlement until Lee Jordan came down the stairs.

"Chris, why are you standing in the common room mostly naked?"

"Huh?" was the intelligent reply that Chris had until he looked down and noticed his attire.

"Hot Damn!" he said and ran back up stairs, knowing that he would never be able to look at Romilda Vane in the face again.

Hermione walked up to Chris the next morning and simply told him that Harry and the Weasleys had to leave late las t night and that someone named Moody would be picking him up at the train station. She started to walk away when Chris shouted after her.

"Where are you going?"

'Skiing with my parents." she waited, looking like she was expecting him to say something.

"Sounds cool, I like skiing. Have you ever been before?"

"Ah no, but I plan to have fun."

Chris shrugged and went back to his cereal when another slightly tame owl landed in his breakfast. Chris muttered a few choice swear words and pulled out the envelope and staring sadly at his ruined Wheaties. "They aim for it I swear." he mumbled before opening the letter and reading.

Dear Chris,

The hospital is now crawling with guards and all the employees and visitors are checked at the door, so we need a new plan. Sources on the inside say that Mel and a few others that we know are in there.

Seth, the half manticore is one of them. I don't know if you remember but your mom helped his dad save him. Wyatt and Seth used to hang out when we were younger. Also there is speculation as to why you can't be found on the continental United States any more. People are getting worried, so a small appearance might be in order.

Becca, Andy, Sterling, and Emily have all volunteered their services. Emily's little sister went missing about a year and a half ago and we are all hoping that she is one of the kids in the hospital. We will need their help so wipe that frown off your face young man. The key word is that they volunteered and this is their choice. Call my cell when you get here, and be quick about it.

Love and faith,

Hope.

Chris smiled to himself as he reread the letter on the train. Hermione had opted to not go skiing and instead check on Harry and Ron. Something about them needing a solid head at times like these. Chris just thought it was because she liked Ron. They got off at Platform 9 and ¾ and Hermione led them straight to an older man with a revolving eye.

Chris frowned, he was sure that they had met before.

"The boy that I was sent to pick up is the boy that stopped me from getting a Dark Wizard a year ago?" the man exploded and Chris remembered exactly where he had seen him before, and winced at the memory.


He he on the cliff hanger, sorry but I needed him to get to Grimmauld Place and wanted there to be problems,
