Author's Notes: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. If I did, I would have Remus tied up to my bed and Sirius cooking in the kitchen while James plays with my daughter. Peter would be running from my cat. I don't own any of the Marvel Comic book Characters either. If I did, Logan would be out in the yard hurting my husband while Scott and Alex are arguing about how to hurt my husband. I don't own any of the Inu-Yasha characters. If I did, Sesshomaru would be joining Remus in my bed. Inu-Yasha would be with James playing with my daughter and Kagome and Sango would be helping Lily and Ororo beat the tar out of Miroku. I don't own any of the Star Wars characters. If I did then Qui-Gon would still be alive, Obi-Wan would not have had to train Anakin, and Anakin would not have gone to the Dark Side. I don't own the Mystic Force Power Rangers. If I did, do you really think Leanbow would have become Korag? I don't own Charmed or anyone from them. If I did, do you really think I would have them fight all those stupid demons that seem to think that they can take them out? I was just laughing at the thought of owning Lord of the Rings, Fantastic Four, or even Pirates of the Caribbean. It's just so flipping funny! Enjoy!
I know it's been a while since I last updated but we've had a few family crisis. One: my father-in-law passed away just before Thanksgiving of 2009 from liver cancer. Two: My husband's uncle passed away right before Halloween of 2009. We've been dealing with all the stuff that you have to take care of when this kind of thing happens. Three: I got a new job and have been working a lot. It started as part-time and moved to full-time about a yearago. Between work, teaching my daughter, and the funerals, I've barely had time to think much less type. I hope you enjoy this chapter as it has taken me quite a while to even come up with it. Enjoy!
My daughter has started to write fanfiction. Her pen name is Victoria Uhicha. She has written one story for Harry Potter, Naruto, and Yu-Gi-Oh. Check them out please so she'll stop annoying me. Thanks.
December 19, 1996
Harry wandered through the halls of Hogwarts. They were mostly deserted due to the fact that Dumbledore had sent most of the students back to their family homes. The only ones that were still in the school were the sixth and seventh years that wanted to stay and protect the school from the upcoming battle. Most of the students remaining were the ones that had come from Xavier's Institute. They were really the only ones that had any kind of battle experience considering what had been happening in the Muggle world lately.
Harry wasn't really worried about being caught in the halls this close to curfew since most of the professors and their allies were in the Great Hall listening to Dumbledore's plan to protect the school from Voldemort's forces. Harry wasn't interested in what the Headmaster had planned since he knew what was really going to happen. He was heading to the Gryffindor family rooms where Piper, Paige, Phoebe, Veronica, Regina, Remus, and Sirius were currently waiting. Tonight was the night that the Charmed Ones were going to help him summon help from beyond the grave, namely his parents. Harry was worried about how his parents were going to react to their son going into battle at the young age of sixteen.
Harry barely noticed that he was almost to the portrait of a griffin sleeping in a meadow. He placed a hand on the frame causing the griffin to wake from its slumber. The griffin bowed its head before the frame swung open to reveal an empty room. He passed through the room but not before bowing to the lady in the portrait above the fireplace. He followed the corridor to the only door that was closed. This door was where he was headed. He pushed the door open to reveal his 'family'. Piper motioned his over to the Book of Shadows.
"This is the spell that you're going to recite. Remember to concentrate on your parents." Piper maneuvered Harry slightly so that he was positioned directly in front of the Book.
Harry took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He pictured his parents from their wedding picture. With a smile on his face he opened his eyes and looked down at the Book sitting in front of him.
"Here these words,
Hear my cry,
Spirit on the other side.
Come to me I summon thee.
Cross now the great divide."
There was a swirl of lights inside the circle of candles that were lit. Soon the lights disappeared and six people stood in the middle of the circle. They didn't seem to have solid bodies but Harry wasn't interested in that. Two of them he recognized from the pictures that he had of them.
"Mum? Dad?" Harry looked between the two people. The man was slightly taller than himself but other than that it was like looking in a mirror. They had the same hair and face structure. There were subtle differences. Harry's nose was slightly smaller and his lips fuller but the most startling difference was their eyes. Where the man had hazel eyes, Harry's own were a deep emerald green that had come from the red headed woman that was starting to step toward him.
Lily stood a tentative step toward her son. "Harry?"
Piper patted Harry's shoulder slightly before motioning for the people in the circle to step out. "Just step outside of the circle and you'll be able to hug him."
Lily looked down at the circle of candles for a second before stepping between two of them. As soon as she stepped from the circle of candles, her body became solid. She moved quickly across the floor and engulfed her teenaged son in a bone crushing hug. "Oh, Harry. I'm so sorry we left you."
"It's okay, Mum." Harry tightened his hold on his mother.
Lily pulled away from Harry. "I'm so proud of you, Sweetie." Harry blushed slightly as the other people stepped from the circle of candles.
"Can I have a look at my son, Lils?" James Potter gently pulled Harry from Lily's embrace. "You look good."
"Thanks." Harry looked at the others. "Who are they?"
James looked behind him. "They're some friends of ours."
The only other man in the group had shoulder length brown hair with grey streaks that was partially pulled back in a ponytail. His beard was more grey that brown. "So this is your son that you've told us about, James." He rubbed his chin as he looked between Harry and James. "I say he's cuter than you, James."
James rolled his eyes. "Qui-Gon!"
Veronica moved toward her brother. "Hello, James."
"Vee? Is that you?" James took a small step toward her.
Veronica rolled her eyes. "I know, I know. Stupid memory charm." She held her arms open as Lily pushed James out of the way. "Hello, Lily."
"Oh, Veronica. We missed you so much. Tell us what's been happening with you." Lily had tears running down her face as she hugged Veronica.
"Let's see. Just teaching, having a baby, getting married, having triplets and what else was it? Oh yeah, getting ready to take out Voldedork." Veronica shrugged as Lily let her go. "In other words not much."
"Wait a minute." James pulled Veronica away from Lily. "What do you mean that you had a baby?"
"James, I'd like for you to meet your niece, Regina." Veronica pointed to Regina who was bouncing slightly. "Regina, this is your uncle…" Veronica stepped out of Regina's way as she flung herself into James's arms.
"Uncle James!" Regina felt James's arm wrap around her. "I'm so glad that I'm finally getting to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too." James leaned back and looked down at Regina. "So who's your father?"
Regina looked at Veronica. "Maybe Mother should answer that."
"Now, James. You know that you've only got a week with your son so leave your niece alone." Penny Halliwell slapped James across the back of his head before turning to look at her granddaughters. "Hello, my girls."
"Grams!" Piper and Phoebe rushed forward to hug her as Paige reached over to hug the other women behind them.
"Mom!" Paige hugged Patty Halliwell as Piper and Phoebe turned to face their mother. "Why are you and Grams here?"
"They thought you could use the extra help and they thought that you should see someone that can also help." Grams turned slightly so that Piper, Phoebe, and Paige could see the last person that had stepped from the circle.
Piper gasped as Phoebe swayed slightly. "Prue, is that you?"
"You're not the only one shocked that they let me see you let alone help you." Prue braced herself as Piper and Phoebe rushed toward her to hug her.
"We're so glad that you could come." Piper pulled away from Prue and turned to face Regina, Sirius, Remus, and Veronica. "Let me introduce our friends."
"I already know them. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, the last of the Marauders that are worthy of the name." Prue ignored the bows from the two men. "Veronica Croft-Lupin who is married to Remus and their daughter Evelyn Regina Rose Lupin."
James glared at Remus. "YOU! You got my baby sister pregnant!"
Veronica elbowed James in the gut before he could go after Remus. "Knock it off! We're married now and the past is the fault of the meddling old goat!" She rubbed her expanding stomach. "Besides I'm pregnant again."
"What!" Lily shoved James out of the way as Penny, Patty, and Prue gathered around her too. "You should be resting."
"I agree. Let's take her to the common room where she can rest." Remus wormed his way between the women and wrapped his arm around Veronica's shoulders. He quickly led them to the Gryffindor family common room.
Veronica sighed softly as she leaned back into the soft sofa as Prue pulled an ottoman over for her to put her feet up. "That's better. I swear being pregnant is so tiring."
"Especially when you're having triplets." Piper ignored the gasps from around the room. "Like you guys didn't see all this from up there."
"Yes, well, perhaps we should go down and offer our expertise to the meddling old goat." Penny moved toward the doors.
"Yes, Mother. I want to meet the man that thinks that a couple of children should be doing the work of grown people." Patty followed Penny out the door with her daughters hurrying after her.
"I think we should go and make sure that they don't kill him." James glanced at Veronica who was currently talking to Lily about everything that had happened to her. "Are you staying here, dear?"
"You go. If I see him, I might try to really hurt him for putting Harry where he did." Lily waved the men out the door.
James nodded as he, Remus, Sirius, Harry and Qui-Gon hurried down to the staff room where the planning for the final battle was taking place.
