Fire erupted as Alexis, Lynx, Draco and Harry entered the living room of the manor,
"Hello?" Alexis calls out, "Where is everyone?"
"Attic!" Piper replies,
Alexis shrugs, "Alright, let's put your things away, I have a feeling I have to vanquish a few demons before dinner," she then walked up the stairs to the attic,
"Incoming!" Piper exclaimed,
Alexis drove out of the way, as a demon shimmers in.
Piper raises her hands and blew up the demon, then went over and got a clip board and check it off,
Alexis raises an eyebrow, "Demon check list?"
"Yes, I'm vanquishing demons so they don't interrupt Wyatt's and Harry's wiccaning," Piper explains, "Where's the phone?"
Alexis picks up the house phone,
"Good call Paige," Piper states, as she looks though the book, "tell her, I found a way to vanquish the creeper demons."
Alexis rolls her eyes then presses the speed dial for Paige,
"Hello?" Paige answers,
"Piperfound a way to vanquish the leader of the creepers." Alexis explains,
"Okay, and not a good time." Paige replies,
Alexis looks over at Piper and saw the potion was ready,"Well, sorry, the potion's already been made and strike while the iron's hot."
"No can do." Paige hints,
"Let me guess, you being sleazily?" Alexis asks
"How ya guess?" Paige asks
"Have fun," Alexis chirps then hangs up, she walks over to Piper, "I summon, you vanquish,"
"Okay, but you just got home," Piper replies,
"Demons who dwell in slivers of night, uncloak your shadows to witch's sight." Alexis reads the spell, a gust of wind blows through the attic and a very large demon with a creepy face and wearing a black cloak appears behind them.
"Aahh." Piper gasps,She throws the potion at the demon and he bursts into flames and is vanquished. "Ugh. Creepers, check."
"Good, Can I go a chill out," Alexis asks
"Yeah," replies Piper,
Alexis walks out, "Great to be home by the way," She went back downstairs, and walked into her room, "Saturday, I think I have to go shopping,"
Draco and Harry groaned, then looked at each other and glared.
Saturday, Alexis took Draco and Harry, shopping those two protesting the whole way, then when they got back and unpacked, Alexis was walking by Piper's room, when she saw Wyatt on the bed, she went in and saw Phoebe sitting on the couch, beside the bed and pulls two lipsticks out of her makeup bag.
"Okay, so we have one Woodmist, which is kinda natural and earthy or Rouge Sensation, which definitely has more of that, you know, va-va-va-voom feel." Phoebe states, then smiles at Wyatt and moves to sit beside him. "You're a guy. What do you think Jason will like more, huh?" She holds the lipsticks in front of Wyatt. Alexis stands beside the changing changing table and shakes her head, "We got this one or this one?" Wyatt smiles. "Okay, Rouge Sensation it is. Very good." She puts on the lipstick. "You are so cute. Yes you are. Your grandmother is just going to eat you up when she meets you. But no spitting up and none of that toxic poop that you like to do because she hasn't been around babies since she was alive, okay?"
"Last baby, Grams was around was me." Alexis spoke up, she went over and sat on the bed too, "I can't believe you are asking make-up advice from a four month old," she then picked up Wyatt, and smiled at him, "But I agree with the toxic poop, but I haven't been here to change his diapers yet."
Paige walks in. "Piper's gonna freak if Wyatt's not downstairs in his Sunday best in like five." she sits on the bed, she sees Alexis, "Hey."
"I know, I got a little side tracked." Phoebe replies,
"Hey, what's with the come-hither makeup?" Paigeasks
"Um, Jason called from his corporate jet and I'm gonna meet him at the airport." Phoebe replies,
"Ah, he's back from Hong Kong?" Paigeasks
"Yeah, just for the day." Phoebe
Alexis smiled a very Draco-like smile, "International booty call. Most impressive."
"Hey, there's a minor in the room, Alexis." Phoebe replies,
"Sorry." Alexis apologized.
"But you know what'll be good? Piper and I don't have to see you moping around the house anymore." Paige asks,
"I was not mopey." Phoebe states,
"You are too mopey." Paige retorts,
"Even your letters were starting to get me depressed." Alexis adds, as she played with Wyatt,
"Okay, well, that's because I missed him, and I didn't expect to miss him as much as I did." Phoebe replies,
"Ohh. Um, I'm just curious. Has anyone ever tried the truth spell that's in the book?" Paige asks
"Yes, and don't." Alexis answers,
"Don't what?" Paige asks
"Don't try it. Especially not on Nate." Phoebe replies,
"I wasn't going to." Paige states,
Alexis asksWyatt, as he was trying to wriggle away, "Where you going?"
"Okay, fine, maybe I was. But, you know, how else am I supposed to find out if he can handle the big dark secret?" Paige asks
"Don't you think it's a little early in the relationship to start thinking about that?" Phoebe asks, then looks down and spots something shining on Alexis' ring finger. "What is that on your finger, Alexis Portia Halliwell?"
Alexis gulped "A ring, Cedric gave it to me,"
"That better not be an engagement ring," Paige states,
"Have you two lost your minds, it's a Promise Ring, like a Pre-engagement ring. Yesh. I know I'm not ready for that big step." Alexis replies, "Come on, Wyatt, we'll get you dressed." she stood up and took Wyatt and a pair of clothes and a fresh diaper. She went into Phoebe's room and changed Wyatt into a green outfit, which they would change him into a white ceremonial gown later. She goes downstairs with Wyatt,
Piper yellsfrom downstairs "Guys! Come on, hurry up!"
"Okay, we're coming!" Phoebe exclaims,
"I'm already down here," Alexis replies,
"Coming!" Paige replies,
In the living room. Piper, Draco, Harry, Lynx, and Leo are there. Piper is placing lit candles on the floor in a circle.
Alexis walks in carrying Wyatt "So you think the green outfit is cute? Because I can put him in the one with the clouds on it, I just get him a bottle while you summon Grams."
"He's her great grandson. I don't think she's gonna care what he's wearing." Leo replies,
"Yeah, but she's not coming as a great grandmother. She's coming in an official capacity as the matriarch of our family." Piper states,
"Well, she's not gonna come at all unless we summon her." Leo replies,
They finish placing the candles and step aside.
"Okay. Here these words, hear my cry, spirit from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide." Piper chants.
Colorful lights swirl inside the candle circle and then Grams appears.
"Well, it's about time, Piper. What took you so long?" Grams asks
"Hello to you too, Grams." Piper replies,
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just so excited." Grams apologized,She steps out of the circle and becomes corporeal. She hugs Piper. "How are you, my dear?"
"Excited too." Piper
"Nervous." Harry replies, as Grams hugs him, too.
"Hi, Grams." Leo greets,
"Leo. So, where's the little one?" Gramsasks
Phoebe and Paige walk down the stairs, Alexis comes back from the kitchen, carrying Wyatt.
"Right behind you." Piper answers, they turn around and Piper takes Wyatt off of Alexis. "Grams, meet the next generation of Halliwells."
Piper hands Wyatt to Grams.
"Ohh." Grams breathes,
"Baby Wyatt." Piper states,
"Wyatt? That's a silly name for a girl, isn't it?" Grams asks
"Grams. It's a boy. Look at the outfit." Phoebe replies,
"What?" Grams asks
"You didn't know?" Paigeasks
"Well, no, I-I mean I just assumed it was a... What went wrong?" Grams asks
"Wrong?" Leo asks
"Oh-oh, well, I don't mean wrong, wrong. It's just that we've always had girls." Grams replies, She hands Wyatt to Leo.
"Now we have a boy, well two boys, let's not forget your grandson." Piper states,
"Right. Well, um, okay, well, we've got a lot of work to do before I perform the wiccaning." Grams states,
"Work? What work?" Piper asks
"Are you kidding?" Grams asks, "I'm gonna be calling every matriarch in our family since the witch trials and we've got to make sure the manor is safe."
"Oh, we've got that covered. Uh, every demon that could attack their spirits has been taken out. The zombies, the rigors..." Piper replies,
"Creepers." Alexis adds,
"We're all set." Piper states,
"What about the Necromancer?" Grams asks
"Who?" Piper asks
"Okay, you guys discuss this. I have to pop by the airport and pick up my friend Jason." Phoebe states, She gives Grams a hug.
"Who's Jason?" Grams asks
"Just a guy, Grams. Don't start the wiccaning without me. Be right back." Phoebe replies, she leaves.
"Actually, I have to check on my man too." Paige states, She gives Grams a kiss on the cheek and leaves.
"You know, they'd be better off with a dog. More loyal and they die sooner." Grams states
"Excuse me?" Leo, Draco, and Harryasks
"Oh..." Gramschuckles "Don't mind me. You know, I never have very much luck with men."
"But you've been married four times." Leo replies,
"Okay, speaking of dogs, I think my dad should be here to witness this," Alexis states then goes over and kisses Grams' cheek, then flames out.
Alexis flames into the hall way of her father's house, well the Black Family house. "Dad!"
"Alexis?" Sirius calls, as he walks down the stairs "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to get you, Harry's having his wiccaning, my nephew too. But I thought you would want to witness, like stand in for Uncle James and Aunt Lily," Alexis answers, "plus I haven't to got to spend any time with you since well. Carmela freeing you."
"I would love too," Sirius states, "Let me change first."
"Okay," Alexis agrees, she watches the goes up to her room, she passes Kreacher, he was talking to the curtains again. She walked over and opened to the curtains, only to be screamed at. "Filthy Blood Traitors, in my house!"
"Shut up!" roars Alexis, "yesh, with that bad attitude, no wonder Dad ran away."
"Who are you?" asks the Portrait of Walburga Black
"Alexis Portia Morgana Black-Halliwell." Alexis answers, "Your granddaughter."
Mrs. Black's jaw dropped but then she was herself again, "You're still a blood traitor."
"I don't think, I can't help who my father is, so judge me for who I am, or shall I be blamed for crimes I didn't commit?" Alexis asks, "I'm willing to talk to you, when I'm here but if you're going to continue calling me a blood traitor or disrespecting my friends and family, well have fun talking to a house-elf for the rest of your afterlife." she turns to leave
"Alexis, wait." Mrs. Black calls out. "I apologize,"
Alexis turns back and smiles,
"Besides anyone who is a smart mouth, is worthy of the name of Black." Mrs. Black continue.
"Thanks, now I know where I get it from." Alexis laughed.
"I see you met my mother," Sirius stated.
"Yes, we've had a nice little chat, I must say, Dad. I get some of my looks from her." Alexis replies, "So are you ready to go?"
"Yes," Sirius answers,
Alexis reached and took her father's hand and flamed away.
"That's strange," Mrs. Black murmured before she went back to talking to her house-elf.
Alexis and Sirius flames into the attic, Alexis' shield flared up as Grams tried to send Sirius flying backwards,
"Gee, you don't even think to ask who he is first." Alexis states, "Dad, I'll take you done stairs to see Harry,"
"Alexis, we might need your help later, so get your dad settled in, then we'll look up the Necromancer," Piper states,
"Alright," Alexis agrees, then leads Sirius down to the living room, where he sits down on the couch with Harry and Draco. "Need anything before I go back up into the attic?"
"Yeah, what exactly is a wiccaning?" Sirius asks
Alexis smiles, "Its a ceremony where the Matriarch of the family, which is Grams, calls upon the family, and the witches are blessed by their ancestors, than so they don't fall prey to evil. I think that if Lily was raised by Grams, she would have had a wiccaning and so would have Harry, because some things you don't change, she still would have gone to Hogwarts, met James. But we have to change the wording a bit for Harry, since he's part of my generation."
"That's tough," Draco states,
"Yeah, I know. How did you think I'm able to be a Halliwell, Grams gave me a wiccaning as well." Alexis agrees, "Now I have to go a search the book, we'll be down later."
Alexis turns and walks back up the stairs and goes back into the attic, She and Piper is looking at the Necromancer page in the Book of Shadows.
"See I was right. You vanquished this demon sixty years ago." Piper states,
"The Necromancer is not a demon. He's a ghost of a demon. And it wasn't a vanquish, I banished him back into the spirit realm." Grams replies,
"Well, then you should be a little more specific in your wording." Alexis states,
"But the point is he's had about seventy years to find a way out of the spirit realm and that man, that demon is nothing, if not confident." Grams states,
"Well, I guess I'll take your word for it considering you seem to know so much about him. Enjoys Clark Gable movies, Favorite dinner: Lamb chops with mint jelly". Piper replies,
"Well, you know me. You never know what could be useful." Grams states.
"So what do you suggest? That I go to the video store and you get cooking?" Piper asks
"Oh, don't be so literal. I was just trying to show how much he craves life, the sensuousness of it. Food, drink, sex..." Grams explains,
"Don't! I don't wanna hear about a dead demon doing the dirty." Alexis interrupts.
"He wants to be resurrected." Grams replies,
Alexis looks at the page, "It says that he has dominion over the dead. You would think that would be enough."
"Not for him it isn't. He only uses his power over the dead to absorb their spirit and get a temporary fix of life. But he was always searching for magical spirits with enough power to resurrect himself for good." Grams explains,
Alexis looked at Grams, like how do you do know this?
"Like all the spirits of the Halliwell matriarchs." Piper adds,
"That's what he attacked at your mother's wiccaning. Now you see why I'm so worried." Gramsreplies,
"Okay, so if he's out, we'll send him packing back to the spirit realm because nothing is going to get in the way of Harry's and Wyatt's wiccaning." Piper states,
"Good, and I know just the potion to use on him too." Grams states then walks over to the potion table. "See we'll need some, oh, dragon root, uh, eel skin, bloodwort. You know, Piper, I'm still surprised that you had a boy."
"Well, fifty-fifty chance." Piper replies,
"Not in our family. Three hundred years and not a male in the bunch." Grams states
"Not unless those males born to our family didn't have powers." Alexis pointed out, "Well look at my Dad's side of the family, the Blacks have been in Slytherin for years, only my dad and me, We're Gyffindors. I just have a dormitory because of my wiccan powers."
"I guess our family's changing." Piper adds,
"Mm. I mean, it begs a few questions, don't you think? I mean, we've never had a male witch and, you know, men are just so..." Grams replies, then Paige storms in.
"They're just evil, that's what they are. They are just plain evil." Paige states,
"Oh, I take it Nate wasn't too happy about you being a witch." Alexis replies,
"Oh, Nate was fine with my being a witch. It's maybe his wife that would have had a problem." Paige explains,
"He's married?" Piper asks
"Yeah, with two kids." Paige answers,
"Oh, honey, I'm so sorry." Piper apologized,
"Me too." Alexis adds,
"I told you, she should've gotten a dog." Grams states,
"What did you do when you found out?" Piper asks
"Plenty. I mean, I'm sure plenty will happen to him, karmicly speaking. Cheat." Paige answers,
"Well, there's no wrath like a witch scorned, I always say. Care to take it out on him?" Grams asks She shows the picture of the Necromancer in the Book of Shadows to Paige.
A hour later, in the Necromancer's Catacombs. The Necromancer is lying on a crypt. He hears a noise.
"What measly crumbs have you brought me this time?" Necromancer asks
"Nothing you're gonna like." Grams answers,
He turns to see Piper, Paige, Alexis, and Grams standing in the room. He quickly gets up.
"Penny!" Necromancer exclaims
"Penny?" Piper and Alexis asks
Grams uses her power and sends him flying across the room. He lands on some large vases.
"What are you waiting for? Throw the damn potion." Grams asks, Paige throws the potion at him and he bursts into flames. He is vanquished. Grams turns to the girls. "What?"
Back at the Manor, in Piper's room. Piper, Alexis, Phoebe and Paige are there. Paige, Alexis, and Paige told Phoebe about what happened.
"Wait, so he called her by her name?" Phoebe asks
"Penny. Yeah. Kinda weird, huh?" Alexis asks
"Yeah, and he acted like he liked her." Paige adds,
"Twim-gee. That's Chinese for excuse me." Phoebe states,
"Fascinating." Piper replies,
"Did you guys vanquish him?" Phoebe asks
"No, he's already dead, he can't be vanquished. But we did send his sorry male ass back to the spirit realm." Paige replies,
"Okay, let's not jump on Grams' male bashing bandwagon, please." Alexis states,
"Grams is a wise woman." Paige replies,
"I'll be sure to let Wyatt know." Piper replies,
"I'll let Harry know," Alexis adds,
"Don't worry, we're not gonna let him grow up to be a slime bag." Paige states, "And Harry's already grown he's not a slime bag."
"Great, so let's focus on blessing him in light and goodness. Okay, we don't got a lot of time." Piper states,She holds up some baby shoes. "Now white or patent leather."
"Bok! That's white." Phoebe replies,
"Okay, what is with the Chinese thing?" Paige asks
"It's a little souvenir that Jason brought me back from China, when he was there on his business trip." Phoebeanswers,
"Oh! Business trip, yeah, business trip. A likely story." Paige states,
"What is that supposed to mean?" Phoebe asks
Alexis twisted the ring on her finger, was Paige upset or did she have a point.
"I'm just saying. He could be leading a double life, he could be married, he could have a mistress, and he could be gay. You don't know, there are many variables." Paige answers,
The phone rings.
"Or he could be perfect for me." Phoebe replies,
"Cedric is the one for me," Alexis whispers, she was sure of it. Lynx was living proof of how strong her and Cedric's bond was.
"Don't be so sure. Men are full of surprises, that's all." Paige states,
"Funny you should mention surprises because, uh, he had a little surprise for me." Phoebe responds.
Leo walks in carrying Wyatt, Harry following with the cordless phone is his hand.
"Paige? Darryl's on the phone, he's pretty pissed. Something about your boyfriend?" Harry asks,
"He's not my boyfriend, he's my ex-boyfriend." Paige replies, before taking the phone and leaving the room.
"What are you doing with Wyatt? I thought Grams was gonna spend some time with him." Piper asks
"Well, she didn't want to." Leo answers,
"Yeah, same here. I'm her grandson." Harry asks, "And before you ask, Lexi. Sirius is watching tv with Malfoy, they are glued to it."
Piper laughs. "What? That's ridiculous."
"Really? Then why didn't she want to touch him or change him or feed him?" Leo asks
"Hmm..now that I think about it, she did seem a little upset about the idea of Harry having a wiccaning," Alexis states.
"Well, she's probably just resting before the ceremony. She said she was gonna do it as soon as we get rid of the Necromancer." Piper reasons.
"Piper, this has nothing to do with the Necromancer and you know it. Grams doesn't like the fact that Wyatt's a boy" Leo replies,
Alexis looks over at Piper, "We need talk with Grams."
"You're right," Piper agrees,
They leave the room, in the Parlor. Grams is leaning over the empty bassinet, touching the triquetra symbol on the blanket. Piper and Alexis walks down the stairs. Lynx watches from around the corner, she wondered how would she reacted if she found out about her great-granddaughter.
"Grams?" Piper asks
Grams straightens up. "Oh! Piper, Alexis, you scared me."
"Hm, I didn't know you could scare a ghost. We need to talk." Piper replies,
"About?" Grams asks
"I think you know what about. Leo seems to think that you don't want to be around Wyatt for some reason, or Harry for that matter, And I'm beginning to wonder myself." Piper answers,
"Oh, this is all my fault. Maybe if I lived longer, been around longer, maybe things would've worked out the way they were supposed to." Grams states, "Maybe if I kept Lily and raised her with Patty,"
"What are you talking about?" Piper asks
"This. Wyatt, and Harry." Grams replies,
"Oh, you mean because they're not girls?" Alexis asks, "If that's your reason, think up another one."
"Piper, you know as well as I do that the charmed line is supposed to be lead by women. Not men." Grams replies,ignoring her youngest granddaughter's comment.
"Who says?" Piper asks
"Tradition says. Destiny says. Tell me that you didn't hope to have a little girl, expect to have a little girl, just like you foresaw." Grams replies,
"Well, of course, but so what?" Piper asks
"So what is something went wrong. Terribly wrong. This is not the baby you were meant to have." Grams replies,
"Grams." Piper states,
"You saw it yourself when you went to the future." Grams states,
"That was also the future where Prue was still alive and witches were burned at the stake. Things change." Piper replies,
"Not this. Oh, it's just that I'm worried about the family, you know. We don't know what to expect." Grams responds,
"I know, and that's precisely why we shouldn't treat him any differently because he's a boy. That's why we're going to do the ceremony. At the very least he deserves that." Piper states,
"They both do, Grams, don't you get the news up there, that Harry's destiny is to fight a evil wizard, and possibly die?" Alexis asks, "You always told me, that family comes first no matter, if we're blood kin or not. Thanks, a lot now I know it was a lie."
"I'm sorry, I can't." Grams replies,
"You are crazy! This isn't about them or our legacy. This is about you." Piper accuses, in a fit of anger
"Yeah, I have to agree," Alexis adds.
"Piper, Lexi, you don't understand." Grams replies,
"That you don't want to perform a blessing on my son or my cousin? You are damn right I do not understand." Piper states,
"You see him as an innocent little boy. But he won't be like that, not for long." Grams replies
"So you can't even hold him because some day, some very far away day he will become a man?" Alexis asks, "You know something, I would be proud if my son would have powers from both families."
Lynx smiles, as she thought about her twin being one of five powerful witches in the word.
"Men cannot be trusted with magic. They can't handle it, they're weak and evil will eventually win out." Grams replies,
"That is silly! Look at Leo." Piper states,
"Or Cedric, he's one of the best people I ever met." Alexis states,
"Well, Leo, I mean, he's an angel, you can't count Leo." Grams replies,
Phoebe walks down the stairs.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Phoebe asks
"Your grandmother hates her grandsons, that's what's going on." Piper answers,
"That is not true." Grams replies
"Oh, I'm sorry, you just hate men, is that correct?" Piper asks
"No, I don't trust men. There's a difference. And there is a reason that they don't last long in this family because they're always trying to take advantage of what we have." Grams answers,
"That's not true." Phoebe states,
"Isn't it? Look what Cole put you through. Look what your father did to your mother." Grams responds.
"So we're supposed to give up on trying to find love just because we might get hurt?" Phoebe asks
"Oh, no, you will get hurt. That's part of our legacy too, unfortunately." Grams replies,
"You know what? Forget it. You couldn't even bless my son with any kind of goodness because you are too consumed by your bitterness." Piper states,
"Yeah, I can protect Harry, but I was hoping the goodness of our family would help," Alexis adds,
"Piper, Lexi." Gramsstates,
"And since his father is an angel, we will take our chances without a wiccaning!" Piper exclaimed.
Skreek appears on the stairs and throws a beam of light at Piper, sending her across the room. He throws a beam of light at Phoebe and she dives over the couch, and another at Alexis, who crashes into the wall,
"Leave them alone!" Grams exclaims, Suddenly, she is pulled backwards in a blur and into Necromancer's arms.
"Surprise." Necromancer greets,
Skreek walks down the stairs.
"Piper!" Phoebe shouts, she goes over to Alexis, "Lexi?"
Piper blows up Skreek. Necromancer disappears with Grams.
Sirius and Draco came running in, Sirius spots his daughter on the floor, "Alexis!"
"I'm fine," Alexis states, then tries to get up, but can't, "Okay, maybe not. Carmela!"
Carmela orbs down, "I thought you were preparing for a wiccaning,"
"Demon attacks, now could you just heal your charge." Phoebe replies,
Carmela walks over and kneels down besides Lexi, "Crashed into the wall again?" her hands began glowing and Alexis was healed
"Oh shut it," Alexis replies, "I can't help it, if the wall and I have a relationship"
"Maybe you should live in a tent." Carmela teased.
In the living room. Sirius, Lynx, Draco, Harry, Alexis, Carmela, Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Leo are there. Phoebe is holding Wyatt.
"Well, let's face it. Grams would not be in this position if she hadn't sent us after the guy in the first place." Piper states,
"Not helpful. We have to summon her back here fast." Phoebe states,
"We can't. The necromancer will follow and if you don't have a way to stop him." Leo replies,
"How did he get a clean shot of her anyway? Weren't you guys with her?" Paige asks
"Uh, we were fighting with her." Phoebe answers,
"Fighting? About what?" Paige asks
"Yeah, later. Let's just focus on the vanquishing and the saving." Piperreplies
"Yeah, but I don't know how to. I mean, it's not like we can even vanquish him, he's a ghost." Phoebe states,
"Well, ghosts can still feel pain. Maybe I can just orb his testicles somewhere." Paige suggests,
"Paige, there will be no talk of testicle orbing in front of the child." Piper warns,
"And not around his daddy either." Leo adds,
"Or his other cousins, and Uncle Sirius, " Alexis warns, "Poor, Dad, Harry, and Draco are pale as Draco's hair."
"Oh, criminy, I'm just trying to help." Paige replies,
Leo takes Wyatt off of Phoebe and leaves the room with Harry, Sirius and Draco. Phoebe moves closer to the Book of Shadows which is sitting on the coffee table.
"Okay, there's got to be a weakness in here somewhere. I mean, he must have a weakness, right?" Phoebe asks
"Well, do mint jelly and Clark Gable movies count? She wrote it." Alexis replies,
"Oh my god. That's why she's so obsessed with him. Grams was the Necromancer's lover." Phoebe states,
Piper gasps. Alexis gags,
"That's disgusting." Paige
"Oh, no, I think you're right. That would explain everything. Grams was alive when she banished the Necromancer, right?" Piper asks
"Right." Phoebe answers,
"Okay, so now she's dead." Alexis states,
"You sound so happy about that." Paige replies,
"No, that's not what she means. The ghost vanquishing spell." Phoebe explains,
Phoebe flips through the Book of Shadows.
"You've gotta be dead to use it, right?" Paige asks
"It's worth a shot." Phoebe replies,
"You mean it's are only shot." Lynx states, "I'll stay down here and keep Leo, and the boys company,"
The Charmed Ones go up the attic, Alexis lights five candles that are sitting on the floor in a circle.
"Alright, as soon as we summon her, we've gotta get her straight to the book because the Necromancer's gonna be right behind her." Piper explains,
"All over it." Paige replies, Alexis nods
"Okay, let's do this." Piper states, then the door bell rings. Phoebe walks over to the window. "Who is that?"
"It's Jason." Phoebe replies,
"Guys really do have bad timing, don't they?" Paige asks
"Yeah, I kinda owe him an answer." Phoebe replies,
"Answer to what?" Piper asks
"He asked me to go back to Hong Kong with him. To live." Phoebe answers, the doorbell rings again. "I'll be right back." She leaves the room.
Piper, Alexis, and Paige are looking out the window as soon as they saw Jason leave,
"Go on, go on." Piper states,
They quickly race to the center of the room. Phoebe walks in.
"Well?" Paige asks
"How do you guys feel about intercontinental orbing?" Phoebe asks
"We'll, talk about that later." Piper replies, then hands Phoebe a piece of paper. "Read."
"Here these words, here my cry, spirit from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide." Phoebe chants.
Grams appears in a swirl of bright lights.
"Welcome back, Grams." Paige greets,
"Girls." Grams greets,
"No time for apologies. Come on, come on, this way, this way, this way." Piper replies,
They take Grams over to the Book of Shadows.
"That is a spell to vanquish a ghost. But only a ghost can read it and that's you." Phoebe explains,
"You shouldn't have done this." Grams states,
"Oh, come on, Grams, we're not that mad." Piper replies,
"You will be." Grams states,
"Grams, he's gonna be here any second." Alexis warns,
"I know, I know. It's just that I don't think that..." Grams began but gets a painful ringing in her ears, she gasps.
"Are you alright?" Paige asks
"Yes. I never meant to hurt you, Harry or Wyatt." Grams answers,
"Right, okay, look, we kind of need to focus on the demon at hand here, okay?" Piper asks
A gust of wind blows through the attic.
"Whoa. Incoming!" Phoebe exclaims
Necromancer appears in a puff of smoke.
"Now, Grams!" Paige shouts,
"Grams, read the spell." Piper states,
"Don't bother. She's with me now." Necromancer replies, he moves closer to Grams. "It's time, dear."
"Piper, blow him up or something." Paige states,
"A ghost? You want me to blow up the ghost? He's already dead." Piper replies,
"I call forth from space and time, matriarchs from the Halliwell line..." Grams chants in a trance
"Paige, the truth spell. Use it on Grams." Alexis states,
"Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends..." Grams continues,
"For those who want the truth revealed, open hearts and secrets unsealed..." Paige begins
"Our family's spirit without end..." Grams still chants
"From now until it's now again, after which the memory ends." Paige finishes
"Gather now in this sacred place..." Grams stops, colored lights appear around her.
"Penny, finish the spell." Necromancer orders,
"Grams, tell him how you really feel about him. Tell him the truth." Piper suggests,
"I love you." Grams admitted
"Any other bright ideas?" Paige asks
"Yeah, just one let her finish." Alexis answers,
"And now I know that you didn't just use me, that you really did love me too." Grams states,
"I still do." Necromancer replies,
"I know. But the truth is that our love isn't nearly as powerful as the love I have for my family. Ashes to ashes, spirit to spirit..." Grams agrees, then starts the spell to vanquish a ghost.
"Penny?" Necromancer asks
"Take his soul." Grams chants,
"Penny, what are you doing?" Necromancer asks
"Banish this evil." Grams finishes and the Necromancer is vanquished. "I am so sorry. I never realized how much my anger, my bitterness affected my life, or yours. And I'm most sorry for what I did to my grandson, and my great grandson, and you. And if ever I wanted a second chance, it would be with them, and you." Piper smiles and hugs Grams. "Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't ever give up on love."
Paige and Phoebe left to check on Nate and Jason respectfully, and when they returned it was time for the wiccaning,
"I look stupid," Harry muttered.
"I have to agree, Potter." Draco laughs,
"Shut it, Draco. Don't make me, brew the same potion I had to drink to receive wiccan powers, and force feed it to you." Alexis replies, "And Harry, you don't look stupid. That gown is new, Wyatt's using my old one, which has been passed though the line of our family,"
In the attic, the room is lit by candles on every surface. Alexis, Sirius, Draco, Lynx, Phoebe, Paige, Leo and Grams are there. Piper walks in carrying Wyatt, who is dressed in a white wiccaning outfit. She stands between Phoebe and Leo. Harry stands next to Grams.
"You know, I think he and Harry looks a little like your grandfather. Oh, trust me, that's a good thing. He was a good man." Grams states,
"Nice to know." Phoebe replies,
"Shall we?" Piper asks
"I call forth from space and time, matriarchs from the Halliwell line, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, our family's spirit without end, to gather now in this sacred place, and help us bring these children to grace." Matriarch spirits from different time periods appear in the room. Grams turns to the matriarchs. "The next generation has been born or was born into our family, our legacy." Piper hands Wyatt to Grams, Harry steps up and takes his place beside Wyatt's, "We pledge to be with these children, these beautiful boys always. Apart but never separate, free but never alone. They are one of us and because of that, we will bless them with all the goodness that we are. Welcome to the family, Harry James Potter Halliwell, and Wyatt Matthew Halliwell." She kisses Wyatt and Harry on the cheek. "Blessed be."
"Blessed be." Matriarchs states,
"Blessed be." Piper, Leo, Sirius states, he was taking part as Godfather, since Lily and James wasn't there.
"Blessed be." Phoebe, Paige, Draco, who was forced to attend, Lynx and Alexis finishes,
Grams hands Wyatt back to Piper, Sirius puts his hand on Harry's shoulder,
"Take good care of my great grandson." Grams requests, "And you too, Harry,"
Grams steps back and stands beside the other matriarchs. They all disappear.
DarkPriestess66: Necromancing the Stone, I don't own it. Also if Harry does develop active powers, I have no idea what they should be.
