Charmed/ Harry Potter

Soul- Swapping

Chapter Two

Harry Potter stared at the Maunders Map. Malfoy wasn't up to anything suspicious. But there was Snape, skulking around, always accusing him of doing the same. Well, he did do the same but that didn't matter.

"Why are you always staring at that thing?" his friend Ron Weasley asked him.

"To see if evil people come in." He replied.

"Highly unlikely unless you see Tom Riddle."

Harry was no longer paying attention to Ron. A new name had appeared on the Marauders Map. Paige Matthews. Who was she?

"Have you heard of this girl? Paige Matthews her name is." Harry asked Ron.

"No, I've never heard of her. She might be lost."

"So she just so happened to stumble across the castle? I don't think so. Besides, she didn't even come through the front door, she was just…there, in the middle of the corridor."

"You think she Apparated into the castle?"

"No, I can always tell when people Apparate in. This was something different.

"Why don't you investigate?"

"And risk getting weekly detentions of Snape?"

"Since when have you cared for risks? You sound like Hermione. Unless you are Hermione and you've switched bodies!"

"Don't be daft. I think I'll go check it out."

Harry got out of his bed and slid his black shoes on. He crept out of the boys dormitory and into the Gryffindor common room.

"Harry?" a female voice called from across the room.

"Ginny, what are you doing down here?"

"I think I'll ask you the same question."

"This girl suddenly appeared on the Marauders Map. Paige Matthews. Is she one of your friends?"

"No, I've never heard of anyone called Paige. It sounds American."

"An American girl in Hogwarts? Now I better investigate."

"I'll come with you."

"No, you'll get caught."

"And you won't will you? Take the Invisibility Cloak. It's enough for two to go under. "

"I'm not sure if it's a good idea."

"Well, if I stay here, my brother will start asking what I was doing downstairs."

"You're right. Ok, you can come but don't slow me down. I don't want that girl to vanish off the map before we even know why she's here."

Harry went back up to his dormitory to take the cloak. When he took it, he thought he heard someone move, but Seamus went straight back to sleep. He then left and met Ginny down in the common room.

"Have you got it?"

"Yes, no one saw me."

He unravelled the cloak and threw it over him and Ginny. They crept out of the common room through the wall portrait. They walked through the corridors as Paige was also walking in their direction.

"Ok, we're almost to her. Who is she and why is she here?" Harry asked.

"You ask her." Ginny said.

When they turned into a new corridor, Paige was standing with her back to them.

"Oh, Shanicar, Shanicar, I know you're here, wherever here is. "

"What's the Shanicar?" Ginny asked.

"I have no idea." Harry replied.

"When I find you I'm going to make sure you never attack me and my sisters again. You almost killed Piper."

"Piper? Another American name?" Harry whispered.

"Whose there? Are you invisible, Shanicar? I'll find you."

"She thinks we're the Shanicar. What is the Shanicar?" Ginny whispered

"I can think of a spell to reveal you:

Let This object of invisibility become seen

Reveal the soul underneath to me." Paige recited. The cloak flew off Harry and Ginny.

"Hey! That was my father's cloak!"

"Well, I'm sorry. Where did you get an invisibility cloak from?"

"From his father, obviously."

"Dumbledore actually." Harry replied to Ginny.

"Oh."

"Dumbledore? As in Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yes, the Headmaster here." Harry said.

"But Dumbledore is the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"Yes, that's where you are." Ginny told her.

"But that's not possible. Hogwarts is made up, it doesn't exist."

"Hogwarts is not made up. Every wizard and witch knows about Hogwarts and seeing as you popped in by magic, I don't think you're a Muggle." Harry explained.

"So you've never heard of the Charmed Ones?"

"The Charmed who?" Ginny asked/

"This is hopeless. Wait a minute, glasses and lighting shaped scar. Oh my god, you're Harry Potter! Or at least Daniel Radcliffe?"

"Whose he?"

"He's you."

"No he's not. I'm Harry Potter. And this is my girl…friend, Ginny."

"Hi, I'm Ginny Weasley."

"Oh no, the Shanicar!" In a shower of white lights, Paige disappeared. And when Harry and Ginny looked behind them, Professor Snape was standing looking at them.

"Uh-oh." Said Harry.
