Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, nor do I own Charmed.
Warnings: Slash. this story is all about Harry and Wyatt and magic. Slash, don't like then don't read but don't whine about it okay? Good. Next then, there will be mpreg. Some character bashing. And no matter how many times I proofread I tend to get timescales wrong so if I do just tell me so I can put it in the warnings of my next chapter. Okay? I think that's all for now. Oh, in later chapters I will delete the 'lemon' scenes or the slightly more graphic scenes because I'm not sure whether I should put them online here. If you want them later on ask me to email them to you.
Pairings: Wyatt/Harry, Leo/Piper, Jason/Phoebe, Kyle Brody/Paige (btw, I have no idea who he is but I know he's a white lighter so I used him okay?), Ron/Hermione in later chapters.
Notes: I don't think there's much to say about this chapter. It is mostly dialogue though there is one flash back. Enjoy, and don't forget to review...though I'm updating 3 chapters at a time so just review at the end of those three okay?
Chapter 3
Dinner was called roughly an hour later and several tables had to be pulled together to make room for all those attending the dinner. Paige's family hadn't come, neither had Alex or the twin girls Luka and Lexi but everyone else was there. Evan sat next to Wyatt and opposite Chris with Hermione sat next to the brunette and Warren sat on the other side of him. Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape sat opposite each other next to Phoebe and Piper whilst Leo and Jason sat on their wives other side. Piper was eating quietly whilst Phoebe was telling her about the response to one of her news columns. Leo was talking to Malfoy about the differences in magic use whilst Snape ate in silence and Jason watched over the argument Chris and Evan were having.
Everyone except Evan and Warren were eating the Steak Diane because, as Evan explained, Warren didn't like steak all that much and Evan was a vegetarian. Chris was eating his stead quite happily in between arguing with the small auburn haired youth over an incident they'd had about a year ago.
"…no-one can resist kidnapping you. You look so sweet and innocent."
"I do not look sweet! And don't you dare try and say I'm cute." Evan said with a scowl. Chris laughed at him.
"Of course you are cute. You were especially cute then with your blonde hair and big brown eyes. It's no surprise they took you especially since the head demon wanted your beauty."
"God you make me sound like I'm a girl!"
"Well you might as well be. You have a boyfriend, shop every few days, cook, clean. You even wear make-up some times and that skirt you wore…"
"That was for a dare you prat!" Evan cried his cheeks bright red with his embarrassment.
"Yeah it was but you really could pull off being a girl. You had my friends, who by the way are as straight as bloody arrows, drooling over you. You nearly didn't escape from Gus's clutches until Wyatt rescued you." Evan by this time was well aware of the stares the rest of the table were giving him and the look of amusement on most of their gazes.
"You are an ass hole you know that?" Evan retorted.
"And don't forget the time you…"
"Shut up Chris before I turn you into a Lemming and make you sing and dance the Little Tea Pot song!" That got Chris to shut up with a loud laugh. He did shut up though and went back to his food quietly. Evan glared at him with his face flushed in embarrassment. Warren was doing his best not to choke as his telepathy brought up the images Chris was imagining with growing worry. Warren showed these images to Evan who looked at the raven haired boy with an evil grin before turning back to his food.
"Anyway, away from Evan and his track record of kidnaps," Wyatt smirked, "Mrs Weasley perhaps you can tell us a bit about your life?"
"Please call me Hermione." The woman muttered. "My life really wasn't that interesting. All through school I was always doing my work and any extra I could to get ahead in my subjects. At Hogwarts I met Ron, my husband, and three years ago we got married. Since then I've basically thrown myself into my work at Hogwarts and my work for the Order. I'm the Transfigurations teacher at Hogwarts now. Transfiguration is basically changing something into something else like, for example, turning a match into a needle. What about you Mr Halliwell?" Evan didn't miss that Hermione didn't mention the Last Battle or Harry Potter.
"It's Wyatt. There are so many Mr Halliwell's now that if you called me that about five of us will turn around."
"Why's that? I thought that only the Charmed ones were Halliwell's and since you are one of their sons you'd be a Halliwell."
"Well, when my dad married my mom he didn't change his last name and they gave me mom's last name. Then you've got Jason who kept his name when he married Aunty Phoebe but they married after having Luka, Lexi and Warren hence Warren kept the name Halliwell. Aunty Paige's last name is Matthews and Kyle kept his last name when they married but gave Brianna the name Halliwell anyway so between the rest of us you've got Warren, Chris, Me, Leo all being Halliwell's." Hermione nodded.
"So what about your life then? How did you grow up? How did you learn about your powers?"
"Uh, I've always known about my powers. Ever since I was a baby I've been able to do magic. I had to hide it of course when I went to normal mortal school. I passed through the grades with others my age and when I left school I went to medical school to train to become a doctor. I passed a few years ago. My ability to heal also comes in handy I suppose when it comes to my profession but I only use my healing ability if I sense it's okay. I can't exactly save someone who's meant to die for example."
"When did you meet Evan? You two are together right?" Chris laughed.
"They are practically attached at the hip! How could you doubt that they weren't together?"
"We are not attached at the hip and I thought I told you to shut up. I think you'd make a very nice lemming and you know I'll do it too." Chris paled and went back to his food.
"He's not really helpless is he Chris." Wyatt smirked then answered Hermione's question. "It was actually Chris that brought us together."
"Biggest mistake of my life." Chris muttered only to find his hair turning green. Darting his eyes up to Evan he apologised quickly and Evan stopped changing his hair colour but left a bright green streak just in front of his eyes to remind him that he was serious.
"Chris met Evan at college about five or six years ago. Evan was getting his qualifications. The pair of them hit it off quite well. They had regular arguments about nothing in particular and at the end they usually laughed it off. Their arguments never came to anything much, no major fall outs. After they became friends Chris invited Evan over to our house most nights because he claimed that the manor he owned was too big to stay in alone too often. When I was home from my classes I'd talk to Evan and things kind of developed from there. Evan was trying to become an English teacher and he got his degree surprisingly easily. After one and a half years of dating Evan moved into this manor and gave his own manor to Aunty Phoebe."
"So what happened when Evan found out about your magic?"
"Um…That's a story I think perhaps Evan should tell." Evan had stopped eating and had started staring at the table. Hermione turned her gaze to him but he didn't look up straight away. When he did he looked kind of reserved.
"I found out about Wyatt after getting kidnapped by these vampires that were trying to kill him and his family. They kidnapped me and would have fed off of me and other things had Wyatt not shown up to help. After he'd rescued me he brought me back here…"
Flashback
"What going on? Who were they? Why are they after you? Why did they take me?" Evan asked in a deadly calm voice. He may have sounded calm but his obvious shaking and the near terror in his eyes was enough to betray his true emotions.
"Evan…" Wyatt started but when Evan turned his gaze to his boyfriend his voice stopped working and he swallowed nervously. Luckily for the twenty two year old his mother took over for him.
"Evan, they weren't actually people they were vampires." Piper paused to see how Evan was taking this. Not a lot was shown on his face but Piper briefly noticed that his shaking had become worse. Deciding to continue quickly Piper opened her mouth again. "I know this sounds ridiculous, absurd even, but they were truly vampires. They were after us because my sisters and I are the Charmed ones. Basically we are witches and Wyatt is my son making him just as powerful, if not more, than myself and the others. We are witches from a long line of witches. Our magic is usually labelled as Wicca but that's kind of irrelevant right now." Piper said realising that could lead of on a large tangent and that wouldn't help Evan.
"Anyway, demons like the vampires basically want our powers and we assume they took you so they could get to us." Evan's breathing had increased steadily becoming small gasping breaths. Piper continued keeping her sad pitying gaze on the young teenager. "Our job as the Charmed ones and Wyatt's as the leader of Light is to vanquish the demons and warlocks and anything else that breaks the Wiccan code and cannot be brought back to the light so to speak. What you saw earlier was the vampires being vanquished. Do you understand? Do you have any questions?"
Evan looked slowly around the room taking in each individual person in the room. Not everyone was here. Jason, Phoebe, Piper, Wyatt, Leo, Paige, Kyle and Chris were here but all the other family members Evan knew weren't there. When his gaze passed over Wyatt Evan lingered there for a while and looked at the anxious and almost scared but accepting face of his boyfriend. Slowly lowering his gaze to the floor Evan fought to get his shaking under control.
"What do you want from me?" He asked slowly. Piper seemed startled at the question.
"What do you mean?" Phoebe frowned at the young man she'd grown to know over the last year. Phoebe had seen Evan transform from a very nervous, jumpy and paranoid teenager into a strong but still rather quiet young man. He was still quite nervous and Phoebe could tell he was used to having a lot of pressure on him and in the time she had known him she had seen him get used to not having to always be the strong one and instead allow himself to be looked after by Wyatt. The very shy and tense person before her was almost like a copy of the timid youth she'd known before. Phoebe's empathic abilities told her that Evan had been badly betrayed when they'd first met him and Phoebe had also kept an eye on the youth and knew that the betrayal had been buried and that the teenager had come to love and trust again. Phoebe had very little doubt that the teenager was once more feeling betrayed.
"What do you want from me?" Evan insisted leaving the others looking confused. Phoebe knew that Jason didn't like the boy but she noticed that even Jason seemed to be seeing Evan in a slightly different light. Piper looked at her sisters for assistance and Phoebe stepped in.
"This is our family secret Evan. It is a dangerous secret too. In the past when people have found out about us it has lead to us nearly being killed. We want to know whether we can trust you with this secret."
"If you didn't think you could trust me then why did you tell me? Surely you could have just gotten rid of my memories. Being witches I'm sure that's possible for you." Evan muttered still not looking up from the floor. Phoebe felt her heart nearly drop at the near accusation. It would take her two weeks to realise that it wasn't actually an accusation on Evan's part just terror prompted curiosity.
"We want to give you a chance." Evan nodded but still didn't look up from the floor. "Evan," Phoebe tried again, "will we need to get rid of your memories? Or can we trust you?"
"I can't make the decision for you." The young man said very softly though his body was still tense and shaking. Phoebe covered her face with her hands feeling very let down. The other members of the group looked away also in sorrow and feelings of betrayal. They all nearly missed Evan's next words. "If it helps I promise not to tell anyone. I won't talk about it, if that's what you want."
"Really!" The three sisters stared at Evan with eyes wide with disbelief and Wyatt with shock. Evan nodded again and lifted his eyes to look at Wyatt with his brown eyes dull.
"You saved my life, it's the least I could do. I'll keep your secret and anything else you entrust me with." Evan whispered as a single tear fell down his cheek. With a shuddering breath he turned his gaze back to the floor. "What's going to happen now? What's going to happen with me?"
Again the group was rather stumped by the questions and it was Phoebe that answered with a frown.
"Nothing's going to happen to you. Just because we are witches doesn't mean we are going to do anything bad to you."
"That's not what I meant." Evan mumbled not meeting her eye. Looking at Wyatt Evan asked again. "What's going to happen now?" Wyatt then understood the question and swallowed the nervous lump in his throat.
"That all depends on you Evan." Evan nodded and shakily stood up wiping his eyes that were releasing tears slowly down his face. Evan then walked to the door of the room. The group let him and Wyatt could feel a prickly sensation behind his eyes. Before his tears of sorrow could fill his eyes Evan turned slightly on the way out and whispered over his shoulders.
"Wyatt…please don't leave me…" With that Evan all but ran to the door. Letting the door shut behind him he ran away from the house in floods of tears. Jason looked out of the window and watched him run into his house and slam the door before turning to the group.
"I'm going to go check on him." With that Jason strolled out of the room. He walked inside Evan's home where he followed the quiet sound of sobs into the basement. Walking down the stairs being careful to be silent Jason saw Evan curled in the corner of the room curled in the foetal position crying. Jason watched as Evan continued to sob and heard a few of his words.
"…gonna leave me…always leave me…hates me…" Evan continued to cry and Jason knew that Evan was trustworthy and that he truly did care about the family and that Evan had been through a lot in the past. Jogging out Jason ran into the living room of the Halliwell manor and found expectant and scared eyes looking at him.
"Wyatt, I think you should go over there and comfort your boyfriend. He seems terrified that you are going to leave him and I don't trust him not to hurt himself."
"Can we trust him?" Was said at the same time as Wyatt croaked out,
"Where is he?"
"Yes we can trust him, he's far too distraught over the thought of being abandoned than the fact that you have powers that could kill him." The room relaxed with a united sigh of relief and Jason turned to Wyatt who was looking extremely anxious though none the less happy. "He's in the basement." Wyatt disappeared in a bright blue light.
Hours later Wyatt came back to the house with Evan cradled in his arms. The family looked at the small body of the young man with sympathy in there eyes. It was obvious that Evan had been crying as his face and Wyatt's shirt was still wet with tears. Evan had long since fallen asleep however and Wyatt took him upstairs to Wyatt's room where the others followed.
The group watched as Wyatt put the sleeping Evan on his bed. They also saw that despite being fast asleep Evan had a vice grip on Wyatt's shirt with his clenched fists. Wyatt smiled at the action and gently pried the fingers off of him. Once the fingers released the material Wyatt found his hand being held onto instead. Paige seemed rather amused that Evan was still asleep through all of this. Offering his family a small smile Wyatt sat on the bed placing Evan's head on his lap and stroking his fingers through light blonde hair.
"What happened?" Piper whispered gently to her son whilst not taking her eyes off the sleeping Evan.
"I got there and when he saw me he just sort of froze. I spoke to him and told him I wasn't going to leave if he didn't want me to and…it was weird." Wyatt admitted with a frown. "He told me I shouldn't stay just because he didn't want me to leave. He told me I was to do what I wanted. I told him that I wasn't going to leave him and he said I was only saying that now and that in the end we'd all leave him, that everyone always leaves him. I calmed him down and got him to look at me and believe me then I just held him as he cried himself to sleep. I didn't want to leave him at home after all that so I brought him here where we can keep an eye on him."
"There are so many secrets he has." Phoebe said frowning and reaching out her hand to the small youth. Since she was so close to the bed Evan was merely a small reach away and the woman brushed her hand over his face pushing the wild blonde hair out of his face. As her skin touched his her body became ridged as she was thrown into a vision. When she came out of the vision she shook her head and pulled her hand back.
"What happened? What did you see?" Phoebe smiled slightly though she was still frowning.
"I don't think it's my place to say. Don't worry, it's nothing to worry about. Just make sure he knows that we won't leave him. It's going to be an awkward couple of days." No-one seemed very happy with that answer but they couldn't argue as Evan stirred on the bed and brown eyes blinked open. The eyes didn't focus at first but then they did and the young man found himself looking up at Wyatt's concerned blue eyes. Smiling then frowning Evan took in his surroundings pushing himself off of Wyatt's lap and going red with embarrassment wiping his face with the back of his hand. Brown eyes met those of the other people in the room and Evan became tense as if expecting them to attack.
"Calm down Evan." Chris muttered moving forward to look at his friend. Evan's gaze turned to him his eyes shining with slight fear, confusion and betrayal. Chris rolled his eyes slightly and continued to approach. "I'm not gonna hurt you, you know." Evan didn't relax that much but he became less tense and let Chris continue to approach him.
"He's right Evan, we aren't going to hurt you." Evan looked up at Piper who had spoken and looked distrusting at her as if he didn't believe her words. "We understand that you now have a reason to be wary of us but we've never meant you any harm. Wyatt told us what happened. Perhaps you'd like to tell us about it? We promise we'll listen just like when you listened to us."
"I…" Evan started before shaking his head. "I can't. Not yet. I'm not ready to tell anyone yet. It's…"
"Painful?" Phoebe offered and Evan nodded. Phoebe offered him a small smile. "I know it's painful. It must have been to have you so scared and you feeling betrayed. You don't have to tell us yet sweetie but just know that when you want to tell us we'll listen to you."
"You are one of the family now." Jason offered shocking most of the Halliwell family who were present. Jason never offered console to anyone, not even his family when they were upset. Ignoring the shocked looks he was receiving Jason continued. "We protect our own and we never leave our own."
Evan nodded and looked to Wyatt who smiled reassuringly at Evan. Chris nudged Evan giving him silent support and the rest of the family also gave their acknowledgement and agreement to this rule.
"Thank you." Evan whispered meeting everyone's gaze slowly.
"Just get some rest honey." Paige said. "We'll just be downstairs. I'm sure Piper will cook dinner for all of us for later. What do you say Evan, will you join us?" Evan smiled softly and genuinely if a little timidly at her. Paige rewarded him with a brilliant smile and began to shoo everyone out of the room except from Evan.
"Um…" Evan suddenly said before breaking off and nervously twiddling with his shirt. The group looked at him and he felt himself blush. "Um…my real…name is Harry." Many of the group raised questioning eyebrows whilst others frowned in slight confusion. Evan felt himself blush again and turned his face away feeling rather sorry for himself thinking that the group would not want him now they knew he'd been lying to them. He was surprised when Wyatt's calm voice reached his ears.
"That doesn't change anything. It's just a name Evan." Evan looked up at him startled and confused. Wyatt merely smiled. Piper was the one to speak next and in her motherly caring voice.
"What would you prefer we call you? Evan or Harry?" Evan looked slightly shocked again before he relaxed.
"I'm Evan now…it's just Harry is my real name. If-If I'm allowed I'd like to still be Evan." Piper smiled and nodded and Wyatt walked over to the bed and leaned forward. Evan looked slightly worried at this but as Wyatt placed a kiss to his forehead Evan relaxed once again.
"Evan it is then. Get some rest, we'll come get you for dinner and I'll go get you some different clothes." The group left then but as Wyatt was about to leave the room Evan called out to him once more.
"Wyatt?" Wyatt turned and Evan looked at him nervously. Wyatt smiled hoping it would help. "I love you."
"I love you too." Wyatt beamed.
End Flashback
"…I kind of just ran from the house after the confession. I can tell you now that I felt betrayed. I mean everything I'd known had been destroyed and I felt for sure that Wyatt would not want me anymore. I had a rough childhood where I was abandoned and betrayed by those I loved so I guess I assumed that they'd leave me as well. Anyway, they all told me that they wouldn't leave me so I guess that's about it." Evan told Hermione after missing some large chunks of the story.
"You were very quick to accept it." The woman said with a frown. Evan smiled at her, an easy smile full of regret.
"Like I said, I had a rough childhood. I grew up with the belief that anything was possible so why shouldn't magic be real after all? Besides, I'd just been attacked by vampires and watched this lot vanquish them. What else was I meant to believe?" Hermione accepted that with a smile and Evan looked over at Wyatt as if looking for something in his lovers face. Wyatt grinned at him and Evan smiled back obviously finding what he was looking for.
"Could your quick acceptance possibly have anything to do with what you did to Chris Halliwell's hair?" Severus Snape said coolly. Evan's smile faltered as he looked over to the green streak in Chris' usually brown hair.
"I suppose so." Evan offered with a frown. "That kind of came later though."
"Evan honey?" Piper said with a sweet smile that was full of hidden anger. Evan looked at her and saw the smile. "You don't have to answer that you know."
"I know." Evan nodded. "To cut a very long story short me turning Chris's hair green came later. Up until two weeks after I was told about the magic the Halliwell's had I was in denial and I refused to use or even acknowledge that strange things happened around me. Then when I finally did confess to having something…wrong with me my family helped me. I was even given a special power, as they've been called. As for how I turned Chris's hair a different colour there are a few glamour that I learnt and I took to using them."
Evan hadn't lied completely. It wasn't a glamour that he'd used on Chris, it was an actual spell to change hair colour. It was like what he used on his own hair. First Evan would dye his hair using mortal dye. Then he would use the spell to change his hair that colour then use another spell on himself to make his hair grow that colour. Then Evan would add several layers of glamour to his hair to make sure his hair would look completely that colour and so that any wizards he came across wouldn't be able to find out his hair was really that colour. Evan also used glamours to hide any evidence of his now almost gone lightning scar on his forehead. The scar had faded more and more since the downfall of Voldemort and was now almost gone but Evan still wore the glamours so it couldn't be seen. As for Evan's eyes Evan used coloured contact lenses on them since his eyesight had cleared up, then Evan used a Spell to make sure they didn't fall off then another spell to make them look real followed by glamours saying that his eyes were that colour.
"I thought that Light Wicca practise meant you can't use your powers for your own use." Hermione said looking confused and suspicious. Evan groaned and rolled his eyes. Before he could think of a come back Jason answered in his place.
"Did Evan say he used Wiccan magic? No, he didn't. But you are right, witches of the Wicca reed shouldn't use their magic for personal gain. Dark practitioners of Wicca do use their gifts for personal gain. These are two different definitions however there are, as you know, different forms of magic. I believe that Evan has a gypsy friend who uses different magic again. Isn't that right?" Evan could have hugged the man that acted like a father figure to him most of the time. He nodded.
"Yeah, Renee uses gypsy magic to lure and entrance along with many glamour charms to change her appearance or to look like what her new victim wants her to look like. But Renee isn't evil or dark. She's neutral and will do what she feels like if there is something in it for her. It makes her difficult to trust sometimes but…"
"But with Evan here in the mix Renee is always reliable. She just can't ignore Evan's big brown eyes when they turn puppy on her." Chris smirked at the glare then grin he got from Evan as Evan thought back to the times Renee's support had been guaranteed just because she was friends with Evan.
"So then what do you do? In a fight would you fight for the light or the dark?" Snape asked suspiciously.
"Evan is neutral. He doesn't fight unless he absolutely has to." Leo put in answering for his nearly son-in-law. "He uses his magic at his own leisure and isn't restricted with when and what he uses his magic for. If he had to make a choice however," Leo said glancing at Evan who wasn't looking at him and was in fact looking at Wyatt, "he would fight with those he loves."
The conversation was finished there as Snape was silenced by Jason's glare and Hermione was silenced by the thoughts the conversation had given her. Evan mused that she must have a lot to think about. She had just learned that there weren't just two clear sides in magic. He was quite happy with the answer Leo had given on his defence and couldn't stop the expanding feeling that was bubbling in his chest. Looking at Wyatt Evan felt all the love and thanks he felt for his lover and also his family. Evan couldn't be happier. Looking over at his best friend Evan reached his hand over the table asking silently for Chris to lean forwards slightly. He was fully aware that the three people from Hogwarts were looking at him. Reaching over Evan gently touched Chris's green hair and immediately it turned back to brown. Going back to his vegetable stir fry Evan ate in quietly only talking when he was asked a question or when he wanted to get his point across to Chris, Wyatt and Warren.
