Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter. If I did I prolly wouldn't be on the internet writing my ideas. No, unfortunately, Harry Potter does not belong to me but the oh-so talented J. K.Rowling. Let us all bow down to her -:bows:-
Charmed is not mine either, It belongs to the people at WB. I tried to get them to sell it to me but they won't accept my generous offer of $50. ;-) But Chris is definitely mine...but that's another story for another day :-)

"I'M HOME!" Harry yelled into the Manor as he opened the door. He paused at the door when he got no answer. "HEY! LISTEN TO ME! I'M YELLING!" still no response. "AUNT PRUE? AUNT PIPER? AUNT PHOEBE?" Harry closed the door and walked into the kitchen. "Piper?" He walked into the sunroom and called, "Phoebe?" the door opened and they heard,
"This demon is after you for a reason Doctor." Harry ran into the room and said,
"Hey! Remember me? Honestly I think you remembered me more when I wasn't talking." Prue and Piper rushed over to him.
"Harry! Oh god honey I'm so sorry I thought you were coming home tomorrow!" Prue said hugging him, then, "How'd you go home?"
"I took a cab."
"So that's why the cab's outside waiting in front of the house?" Harry nodded sheepishly.
"I didn't have any money on me." Piper grabbed for her purse and said,
"I'll pay for it." she left out the door to pay the cabby driver.
"Harry," Prue said, motioning for the man who had entered the Manor with them to step forward. "This is our innocent. His name is Doctor-"
"PRUE!" Prue turned to look at Phoebe, who suddenly appeared at the foot of the stairs. Piper came and stood next to her.
"Phoebe!" Harry said happily, and rushed up the stairs to hug her. But suddenly a strong gush of wind blew open the door and formed the demon Shax. He sent Piper and Prue flying into a wall.
"NOOOO!"
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
"I'm so sorry for your loss. She was so personable."
"I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a hard worker."
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
"I'm so sorry for your loss. Prue was a wonderful friend."
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
"If I hear that one more time I'm going to scream." Harry mumbled to Phoebe. She chuckled and pulled Harry into a hug.
"I know sweetie. Why don't you go. I'm sure you and Chelsea and Gabby and Kyle and Myles and Oliver and Alii and Caitlin get out of here. You don't need to stay honey." Harry nodded and looked up at the last person he was going to shake hands with. She had brown black hair and brown eyes and pearly white teeth. Her skin was creamy white and she had blood red lips. For a moment Harry toyed with the idea that vampires had come to Prue funeral, but something was telling him it wasn't a vampire. Something was telling him that she was someone much more important. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up and a wind swept threw him. He frowned at her as she smiled nervously at Phoebe and said,
"I'm so sorry for your loss."
"How did you know Prue?" He asked, still frowning at her. She looked down at him and said,
"Oh, I uh, just saw her around. I go to P3 a lot. It's a great club." Phoebe smiled and said,
"Thanks." she then turned to Harry. "Chelsea's waiting for you Harry, go on ahead." she frowned at his frown and whispered in his ear,
"Enemy?" Harry shook his head and signed,
.:I don't know. But she's special. I just have this feeling. She's not an enemy though.:. he shrugged and gave the girl one last smile, before walking towards the church doors where Chelsea was seen waiting.
"I'm really-" Chelsea began as she and Harry walked down the street.
"Don't. Say it. I've heard it so much today that if I heard it again I'm going to hex the person who said it." Harry said, drawing his wand. Chelsea gave him a sideways glance and smiled.
"Fine then. Harry, I've been thinking-" but what she was thinking Harry never knew because at that very moment the cell phone, which Phoebe had slipped into his pocket, rang. Harry pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. The caller-id read "Piper Cell."
"Hello?"
"Hey honey, is that sleep over you had planned still on?" Piper's voice rang in the other end of the phone. Harry nodded, then realized she couldn't see him and said,
"Uh huh. Why?"
"No reason. It's just going to be a hectic night, and if your friends are going to sleep over they should know that."
"Hectic as in...supernaturally?" Harry asked her, raising in eyebrow at Chelsea.
"Yeah. So you're probably going to end up camping out in the sunroom, ok?"
"Yeah that's fine. Is it ok if Chelsea and I make cookies right now? Everyone will be there in like, 2 hours."
"Uh...yeah. You can ask Cole to help you if you want." Harry made a face and said,
"Um...maybe we will. Thanks Piper."
"No problem hun. Love you bye."
"Love you too, bye." Harry hung up and looked at Chelsea.
"Wanna go to my house and make cookies?" Chelsea smiled and said,
"Sure."
"Wanna ask Cole to help us?" Chelsea made a similar face that Harry had made when Piper had suggested it and said,
"I don't know what to make of him. He's very demonic, and I can sense the evil just pouring out of him, but then again, his human half is very infatuated with Phoebe, and that's when I sense his good side. I just don't know about that one." Harry nodded in agreement.
"Well, I don't suppose he's going to just attack us randomly while we're baking cookies..."
"And he IS really funny...especially when he gets hurt, like when he was boiling water the other day and he wanted to see how hot it was so he stuck his hand in it." Chelsea giggled at the memory. Harry laughed as they climbed the steps and he took out his keys. He opened the door and walked in.
"Is anybody home?" no answer. Chelsea and Harry shrugged at each other and Harry called,
"UNCLE COLE!" it took a moment, but suddenly Cole shimmered in, fire ball in hand.
"Where is it?" they both blinked at him.
"Where is what?"
"The demon, or whatever was attacking you."
"Nothing's attacking us! We just wanna know if you wanna help us make cookies." it was Cole's turn to blink at them.
"Cookies?"
"Mmm hmm." Cole blinked and said,
"Making cookies? It's just soo..." he paused. "Domestic. Well, I suppose Phoebe was talking about me doing stuff like that. So, lead me to the cookie makers." Chelsea snorted.
"There's no cookie makers Uncle Cole. And there's no pre-made dough. We make it from scratch."
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF EVIL!" Cole yelled, pulling his hand out of the oven. "That hurt!" Harry and Chelsea laughed and said,
"Well of course it did! You're supposed to use potholders!" Cole scoffed.
"Why? Wouldn't it be so much easier to do this?" he snapped his fingers and the pan of cookies shimmered from inside the oven, to the top. The smell of chocolate cookies wafted through the kitchen, causing Harry and Chelsea to break into smiles.
"Isn't that personal gain? Besides, we don't have powers like that, remember?" Chelsea asked. Cole nodded, a look of consideration on his face and then said,
"It's not personal gain. You get cookies. I was helping you. It was a good deed. Now, are you going to get the door?" right after he said that the doorbell rang. Harry scowled playfully at him and muttered,
"Show off." Chelsea and Harry rushed to the door, followed by Cole, and pulled it open. It was Kyle, Oliver, Myles, Alii, Caitlin and Gabby.
"Hey guys! You can drop your stuff in the sunroom. It's going to be a very supernaturally hectic night." Gabby snorted.
"Who cares I just want one of those cookies while they're still warm!"
"You made cookies! That's so cool!" Caitlin grinned and raced into the sunroom to drop her stuff off.
"Right foot green, left hand blue." Alii called out. Harry reached over and placed his left hand on a blue spot, causing him to do a back bend. He groaned under his weight and moaned,
"I'm getting too old for this." the group chuckled and next to him Harry heard Chelsea ask for a cookie in her own awkward position. Oliver reached over and placed a cookie in her mouth. She glared at him and mumbled what was assumed her thanks. She and Harry were the only two left in the game of Twister they were playing. They heard Alii spin again.
"Left foot-" she was interrupted when a dark lighter shimmered into the room. Harry dropped to the ground, landing on his back. Pain shot through him and he moaned.
"UNCLE COLE!" Chelsea screamed, scrambling over to her friends as the dark lighter prepared its arrow. Cole shimmered in and said,
"What are we making this time? A pie! My mother used to make the best pies!"
"Behind you!" Gabby yelled as she rushed over to Harry and Chelsea. Chelsea and Gabby pulled Harry to his feet as Cole turned around, forming a fire ball in his hands in the process. The last thing they saw before they disappeared was the dark lighter dodging the energy balls and shooting its arrow...
"Harry Potter. Chelsea Black. Gabrielle Lawson. You have all been summon here today in front of the Council of Elders." a big booming voice said. All in front of them in a semi-circle was high desks, and occupying these desks where people cloaked in white and gold.
"Oh my god. Are we dead?" Gabby said, grabbing Harry and Chelsea's hands. They laughed and said,
"No, Gabrielle. We summoned you, because we have decided to bless you with powers of which you will defend yourselves with."
"Wait a second! You're giving us powers?" Chelsea said, looking around to find the source of the voice.
"Yes."
"But I'm already a wizard, remember? I go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have a wand!" Harry said confused.
"We are aware of all of your backgrounds with the wand magic people. We are aware that Harry is the only one of you currently attending a School for Wizardry. But you will still be given powers. The Elder Hope has foreseen your need of them in the near future. You will each be given unique wiccan, demon, and white lighter powers. You will be a force of good, and fight along side with the Sisters when they feel you are ready. But you can not tell anyone other than those that already know about the Powers of Piper and Phoebe. Yes, Harry. This means that no one at Hogwarts is to know of your powers. Not even the Headmaster. Now, any questions?"
"Uh, yeah! You can't just fling these powers on us and not tell us what they are, and how to use them, and if they'll advance, etc. etc. etc." Gabby said irritably.
"Step forward, one by one." the three looked at each other. Slowly, Gabby stepped forward.
"Gabrielle Lawson. Your powers will consist of shape shifting, levitation, split screaming, telepathy and invisibility. Your method of transportation will be orbing and shimmering. Any questions?" Gabby shifted nervously and said,
"Yeah, what is 'split screaming'?"
"Split screaming is the ability to scream at a high pitch whine that can temporarily render your enemy paralyzed." Gabby nodded.
"Thank you." she said, then walked back to her friends and muttered,
"I think." Chelsea giggled, and stepped forward after her.
"Chelsea Black. Your powers will consist of conjuration, premonition, empathy, molecule combustion and freeze. Your transportation method will be shimmering. Any questions?" Chelsea shook her head, thanked them, and stepped down. Now it was Harry's turn. Gulping nervously he stepped into the light.
"Harry Potter. Your powers will be conjuration, telekinesis, energy balls, animal transformation and healing. Your method for transporting will be orbing. Any questions?" Harry shook his head.
"Excellent. Now go. By the time you have returned to Earth your powers will be in tact." one of the cloaked nameless figures waved an arm, and suddenly they were engulfed in white orbs. Then, the parlor of the Manor appeared before them. It was in a flash of light when Phoebe, Piper and the girl Harry had seen at the funeral were holding hands.
"I think that means you're supposed to be here." Leo said. Piper narrowed her eyes at them and said,
"Where have you-" the door burst open in a gust of wind, making Piper freeze in her sentence. Shax. Harry grabbed both Chelsea and Gabby's hands. They were trapped. He squeezed his eyes shut, wishing with all his might that they could be in his room right now, safe. Wishing, picturing them there, safe. He felt a tinging sensation, when suddenly he opened his eyes, and they were there.
"Whoa! What just happened?" Gabby asked. Chelsea shrugged.
"I think we just orbed." Harry said, stunned. They heard pounding outside the stairs as Piper, Phoebe and the mystery woman ran to the attic, and a gust of wind when Shax followed them.
"What about the others?" Chelsea asked. "They're still in the sunroom."
"They should be safe. I'm pretty sure that Piper put crystals around the sunroom while we were playing Twister." Harry said. But with a look at Gabby and Chelsea's desperate faces he sighed and said,
"I'll see if I can orb down there and check. Hold on." he closed his eyes and pictured the sunroom. He waited a moment before opening an eye. Chelsea and Gabby were standing in front of him.
"It didn't work did it." he stated it, rather than a question. Chelsea and Gabby nodded. But suddenly, Chelsea disappeared in what was an unmistakable shimmer. Harry and Gabby blinked at each other.
"Where do you think she went?" Gabby asked shakily. Harry shrugged, and opened his mouth to respond, but Chelsea suddenly appear before them. She placed a hand to her forehead, and an arm out to steady herself.
"Woo," she breathed, then grinned at Harry and said, "What a rush." Gabby giggled and Chelsea said, "They're down there still, and they're safe. Cole's with them." Harry raised an eyebrow and said,
"Ok. No one's hurt?" Chelsea shook her head.
"Well that's good. Come on, lets go downstairs." Gabby took their hands and the three 11-year-olds crept out into the hall. Suddenly someone was pounding on the stairs.
"Paige! Paige come back!" Phoebe called as she and Piper chased the girl down the stairs. But she left, closing the door with a click.
"Is the demon gone?" Harry asked. Piper and Phoebe looked up at them from the bottom of the stairs and said,
"Yes. Did I see you three orb?" Harry nodded and said,
"You may want to sit down for this. And in the sunroom, so everyone else can hear it too. We only want to explain this once."
"Yeah. We have some explaining to do as well." Piper said, leading the group into the sunroom.
athenakitty: ooohhh some dumbledore bashing in there. lol Harry does not know more than he lets onhe just thinks he should go cuz if this man says that he needs to learn something then...well...he just thinks he should cuz it feels right ya know? part of his "indigo senses"
1nderland pixie:thanks im glad you liked it!
daydreamrose: thanks...i was actually thinking about something like that my self...yea, motorcross is cool ive never sctually seen it or anything but ive always wanted to...
DestinyEntwinements: YES! HE SPOKE! CLAPS FOR HARRY! -claps- lol
anti-thule: i probably did know that...:shrugs:
HevenSentHellBroken: yes he does.
AngelAriel: no, harry could always talk, he just never really wanted to. and after the experience that harry went through the Halliwells really didn't push him to talk, and they didn't think he could. but he always could he just didn't want to. so he's not really pretending i guess...hehe, as you know if youve read the chapter yet, harry's not the seer...
Rnet: glad you liked the last chapter and here's the other!
Well, i've had LOADS of time on my hands lately cuz i was sick...so...thats why you've gotten so many updates, cuz i've had so much time off! i'm working on the next one as we speak...hope you enjoyed it.
And about the whole thing with Harry going to the Weasleys and sutff, what happens is that the Elders inform the Halliwells when the Weasleys are coming to get Harry, even when they aren't planning it, so that Harry goes to the Dursleys a few days before, that way no one knows about Harry living in San Fransisco. Because technically, Harry's out of "district" so he shouldnt be going to Hogwarts. But Harry is, becuz Dumbledore makes him, and so he has to keep up the carade that he's living on Privet Drive. Does that makes sense? If not tell me and ill explain it better.
3 Lexa...go! see the enchanting little blue button...hear it calling you name? saying, push me, push me! review! review! go on, you know you want to...
