Charmed/ Harry Potter
Soul- Swapping
Chapter Six
The Death Eater, Dolohov that had lunged at Harry earlier unfroze. So did the whole battle. The Death Eater fell forward onto the ground. He then realised that something wasn't right.
"MY LORD! HE'S GONE! POTTER'S GONE!"
Voldermort came over to the Death Eater.
"What do you mean he's gone?"
"He was right here. I lunged at him then, he was just, gone."
Alecto Carrow shouted from afar.
"The Blood Traitor Weasley and the Mudblood Granger are gone too. They were right here."
"You think they Disapparated?" Dolohov asked Voldemort.
"No, this is something different."
"How do you know?"
"I just do! Now continue fighting."
The battle commenced once more. Stunning spells and killing curses were flying through the air at different people. In a shower of white lights, Ginny appeared at the edge of the battle.
"What? HARRY! RON! HERMIONE! WHERE ARE YOU?"
Before she got a reply, or didn't get a reply, she was stunned by a spell. Voldemort had noticed the way she appeared and he made the battle cease again.
"WAIT!" Everyone stopped again. "That was not apparition. That was defiantly different. She appeared in a shower of lights. This isn't right. Someone is interfering with the battle."
While the battle had stopped, Neville Longbottom whispered to Luna Lovegood.
"Where do you think they went?"
"I dunno. But one thing I do know is that someone froze time."
"What-How do you know?"
"Because, my watch says 2;37. A minute ago, it said 2:07. It was when the Death Eater dived for Harry that everything stopped."
"My watch did the same thing. So who could have froze time?"
"Dunno."
Everyone had gone downstairs and were waiting for Leo, who orbed to the Elders to check on Ginny. Phoebe was pacing the room while everyone else were sitting down in the living room. Leo orbed in.
"We have a bit of a problem." He said.
"What do you mean?" Piper asked, narrowing her eyes and standing up.
"Don't yell at me, but- we've lost Ginny!"
"WHAT?" Harry, Ron and Piper cried.
"How?" Hermione, Paige and Phoebe asked at the same time.
"The Elders were going to send her to back to us, but the Shanicar intercepted it and sent her somewhere else."
"Where did he send her?" Piper asked.
"I don't know."
"Are you telling me that you have no idea where my sister is." Ron asked.
"I'm afraid so."
"Great, that's just great! She could be lying in a ditch!" Harry shouted.
"Leo! You orb out and go and find her!" Piper demanded.
"I'll try!"
He orbed out once more.
"And now we wait." Hermione said, sitting down next to Phoebe.
"Excuse me, I'm still the only one with no powers. The Shanicar still has them." Phoebe exclaimed.
"You can only get powers if he gives them to Ron or you get them back off him, but I really doubt that, he seems powerful." Paige said.
"We got that part." Piper replied.
"Yeah, remember who he sent through the window." Ron reminded her.
"What is that power I used?" Hermione asked, curiously.
"Orbing. It's kinda like Apparition in a way, but it's different. You still teleport to a different place but you do it in a shower of white lights. It can make you kinda dizzy too." Paige explained.
"So, if they have your powers, what powers will I get?" Ron asked.
"Levitation, Premonition, Empathy." Phoebe replied.
"What are they?"
"Levitation, you can hover a few feet off the ground. Premonition, you can see future events and Empathy, you can feel other people's feelings."
"That's not as cool as their powers."
"I find Levitation quite useful. And Premonition is very useful."
"I don't wanna be like Trelawney."
"You won't be. You can actually see something real." Paige said.
"Maybe Ron got my powers already." Phoebe suggested.
"Try to get a premonition. Here." Piper picked up the newspaper and gave it to Ron. He just stood staring at the paper. He shrugged.
"I can't see anything."
"No. Not yet." Piper said.
"Well, I find our magic easier. We can just do something with a flick-" Hermione demonstrated by flicking her hand, and Harry suddenly orbed out, "-of a wand."
The shower of white lights appeared outside the door, and Harry was screaming as he landed on the steps outside and fell down them. He groaned, rubbing his head. The others rushed outside. Phoebe helped him up.
"Harry, are you alright?" Hermione asked.
"Thanks a lot for that." Harry snapped.
"Was that me?" Hermione asked, shocked.
"You can orb things away as well, but you haven't mastered how to orb them far away yet." Paige told her.
"Amazing. Sorry about that, Harry."
Harry turned to Piper, Phoebe and Paige.
"Can I freeze her?"
"No. You can't freeze another Charmed One." Piper said.
"Oh. I could have got her back for it."
"Too bad." Phoebe said.
There was a crashing sound in the conservatory.
"Please don't tell me he's back." Phoebe groaned
"I think he is." Ron said.
"He just doesn't give up, does he?" Paige added.
They all marched back into the house, where the Shanicar was waiting. He formed an energy ball and got ready to strike.
"Right, Mr Shanicar, lets fight!" Phoebe put her fists up. The Shanicar just laughed.
"Without powers, you've got no chance." He said and threw the energy ball at her. It sent her flying across the room, screaming, and she smashed into the shelves. The shelves fell with her, and knocked her out.
"PHOEBE!" Piper cried.
"RON, LOOK OUT!" Paige and Harry shouted.
The Shanicar ran at Ron. At the same time, he lifted his arms as he tried to dodge the Shanicar's attack, when he found himself rising quickly into the air. He stopped rising but was left levitating just under the ceiling.
"I think I've got her powers now."
The Shanicar ran at Harry and Piper this time. Harry put up his hands and the Shanicar froze.
"Wait, he can freeze."
"Use the spell again." Piper said.
Paige raced to Phoebe and rummaged in her pocket. She found the piece of paper with the spell written on. She read it out loud.
"I call upon the power of three
Help me know and set me free
From my gaze, cast away
This demon you shall never stay"
Nothing happened. The Shanicar remained frozen.
"It's not working." Ron said, still levitating.
"That's because we're not the Charmed Ones." Paige thrust the spell into Hermione's hands, when the Shanicar unfroze and dived for them. Paige kicked him in the kneecap and he stumbled.
"DO IT! QUICK!"
"I call upon the power of three
Help me know and set me free
From my gaze, cast away
This demon you shall never stay" Hermione recited.
Just like last time, the Shanicar groaned in pain then just shimmered out. Hermione looked very puzzled.
"I think he just got banished."
"We were in a hurry. The best you could do was banish him." Paige said, as there was the sound of something hitting the ground. Ron had stopped levitating.
"I think I have Phoebe's powers now." He got to his feet.
Then Piper remembered.
"Oh, no. Phoebe!" They all rushed over to where Phoebe was lying unconscious in the mess of broken shelves. "Phoebe, wake up!" Piper was shaking her. Phoebe slowly opened her eyes. Piper and Harry took her arms and lifted her to her feet.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." She said. She then fell down again, but Piper and Harry caught her in time. They lifted her up again.
"Wait a second, if he's called the Soul-Swapper, why is he only swapping our powers." Harry asked.
"Good point. Surely, he would be called the Power-Swapper." Phoebe said blinking.
Paige paced the room, thinking.
"It makes me wonder what he's planning to do next."
