Well, one chapter closer to finding out why Prue keeps appearing all over the place! Hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 4: Passing The Time
Godric's Hollow, The Following Morning…
Everyone was up quite early the next morning. The latest anyone cam down was 9:30 and that was Lily.
"Morning guys." She said, yawning as she came into the kitchen. Everyone, except Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron, was seated around the table, mugs in front of them.
"Good morning, sleepy beauty." Remus said, earning a stuck out tongue from Lily.
"What's up today?" She asked as she got her coke and pumpkin juice. Her addictions got weirder everyday. Yesterday she wanted chocolate ice cream with green and red peppers.
"Just some more news on the Prue front. Another sighting last night from Leo, then from Ron and Hermione in the RoR (A/N: Room of Requirement). What they were doing there, I don't know." Sirius grinned. "And this morning, Phoebe and I thought we heard her voice. Well, Phoebe recognised it, but I heard it too."
"4 times she's been seen here. What about at Hogwarts, before you left? Did you see her then at all?"
"No." All three Charmed Ones and Leo replied.
"So, since yesterday there have been 4 occasions she's been seen. Nothing before then and we don't know what day she is coming back. Maybe this is all an illusion from the Elders." Piper said. Lily snorted.
"They know not to piss you off Piper. Well it could be a demon, but we put up spells to deflect evil so it couldn't enter. Unless one of us is working with a demon then it could get in but I don't think anyone would do that-"
"Rambling Lils." James said. He smiled at her frown. "Well, we know that it isn't a demon, it isn't a trick by the Elders. Could it be Prue, the real Prue?"
"Maybe. Could you go up and see what is going on with her coming down. Ask when she can come down and if she has been down already." Piper said to James.
"Ok, let me finish my drink then I'll go." James said.
"Lazy Whitelighters won't get anything done." Leo grinned as James scowled at him and orbed out.
"Don't be mean Leo." Piper chided him.
"Sorry." He replied, kissing her on the cheek, making her blush slightly.
"Well, why don't we go and use up some of the time waiting with Quidditch?" Sirius suggested.
"Why does everything come back to Quidditch with you?" Lily asked.
"You're just asking this now? I've been saying since second year." Sirius replied, making Lily stick her tongue out.
"I think that it's a good idea. All in favour, follow us." Phoebe and Sirius got up and were leading Paige and Remus out, leaving just Piper, Leo and Lily around the table.
Quidditch Pitch…
"Ginny, watch it with the electricity!" Ron yelled as he heard it crackle near his ear.
Ginny winced. "Sorry Ron!" She shouted back. They were half way across the pitch from each other, with Harry next to Ron and Hermione next to Ginny. "My aim isn't very good at 30 metres!"
"Or shorter!" Harry yelled. Ginny frowned.
"You'll pay for that comment Potter!" She screamed down the pitch. She orbed to him and orbed away with him. Hermione and Ron looked at each other.
'Why does it always come down to someone leaving?' Hermione thought to Ron.
"Dunno!" He shouted down. He ran over to her in his animagus form to reach her quicker. He changed as soon as he reached her. "Where d'you think they went too?" He asked.
Hermione shrugged. "Probably the gardens. By one of the pools."
"It is where they usually go." Remus said behind them. They jumped around, seeing that Phoebe, Sirius (They were rarely apart anymore), Remus and Paige were all there.
"Don't sneak up on us." Hermione said. "How comes you guys are here?"
"Passing the time. I want to work on my flying with Paige and these two want to play Quidditch." Phoebe jerked a thumb towards Sirius and Remus.
"Cool. We just need to find Harry and Ginny first." Ron said, excited about playing Quidditch.
"I'll get them." Paige offered and orbed away.
"So, is there any more news on Prue?" Hermione asked.
"Well people have seen her four times. Phoebe yesterday afternoon, Leo saw her last night and Sirius and I heard her this morning. You know about the fourth time because it was you." Remus and Sirius both grinned at Ron and Hermione's bright red faces.
"Moony, stop it. Don't worry we won't ask any questions." Sirius winked at them, which made them even redder. A flurry of orbs indicated Ginny and Harry returned.
"Paige went to get some broomsticks." Harry explained her absence. And as he said it, another flurry of orbs meant Paige had got them.
"Do you know how hard it is to try and hold 8 brooms at once?" Paige said. She was holding them in her hand, shrunken. She enlarged them and everyone picked their one out.
"Right, so who is playing Quidditch and who is just having a fly around?" Sirius asked.
In the end, only Sirius, Remus and Ron wanted to play Quidditch, so without enough for a full team, they decided to play broom tag. Harry and Ginny were going to fly around, talking. Hermione, Phoebe and Paige were going to fly slower, Paige and Hermione still weren't to keen on the idea and Phoebe was a bit wobbly still.
"So, do you think that Prue will be coming around Christmas? Or before?" Paige asked, making the broom fly a little higher.
"I think it might be Christmas. Like the perfect Christmas present." Phoebe grinned. Hermione smiled.
"Yeah, because they want to give something back to you for all the good you've done over the past 9 years." She stopped her broom because Harry and Ginny came zooming by in front of them.
"Sorry guys!" Harry yelled as he went past. "Come on Gin, at least try and catch me!" He called back to her. Even with Ginny on his Storm Flight and him on the Firebolt he gave her when he got his new broom, he was beating her.
"Harry James Potter, you are so going to pay for that!" Ginny shouted to him. She pressed forward on the broom and she came level with him just as they passed the goalposts. "Not so tough now are you?"
"Let's see how you are in the forest then!" He flew at top speed towards the forest that surrounded Godric's Hollow.
Ron watched the pair zoom off into the forest. His thoughts of them were interrupted by Sirius coming at him, while Remus flew away from the pair.
"Hey Ron!" Sirius sang as he lightly hit him. "TAG!" Sirius flew away at top speed.
"Stupid Sirius." Ron muttered as he flew towards Sirius.
Inside Godric's Hollow…
Piper and Leo were watching the flyers silently from their bedroom window until Leo broke it. The silence, not the window, of course.
"Do you think Wyatt and Chris are going to be like that when they get older?" He asked.
"I think it will be within 10 years with James, Sirius and Remus' influence. And you aren't any better." She said to her husband.
"Well, hopefully they will have some cousins to play with. They'll have Lily's baby to play with too." Leo looked at her. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just… thinking things over."
"Worried about them growing up?" Leo asked softly. Piper nodded.
"It's seems like it's happening so fast." Piper said. "Since Chris was born, we learnt we had wand magic, we met Harry and everyone, we became teachers and we are going to see Prue soon. If all that can happen in 9 months, then what will happen in 9 years?"
"Shh, it's ok hunny." Leo took her into his arms. "We are going to enjoy every minute of their lives. We aren't going to let Chris' future turn out the way he had to live." Leo added. Piper looked at him.
"I didn't say anything about that."
"Call it intuition, but I felt you were worried about it too." Leo said. Before she could answer, Chris started to cry.
"I'll get him. You go down and see them. Join Sirius and Remus." She kissed him and went off to look after Chris. Leo headed towards the Quidditch, making a detour to pick up a broomstick.
Well, what do you think? I promise more sightings of Prue will be next. Maybe even with another sighting? Well, I guess you'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out, but hey you could always review to make me update quicker?
