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 that it has been a while since I updated but you know how life seems to get in the way. I've been working 40 hour weeks and then some, tkaing my mother-in-law shopping (which is a job in itself), and trying to keep up with the housework. It's seems that no sooner I get one thing done I have to do it again. That seems to be my life most of the time. I try to squeeze in typing at work but it never seems to work out that way.
December 19, 1996
James smiled as he looked around the Great Hall. "Okay, who wants to ask a question first?"
Professor McGonagall stepped forward slightly. "Is that really you, James?"
"In the flesh…" James looked down at his body. "…So to speak." He looked around the room. "Any other questions?"
"Who are the women and that guy?" Kingsley's deep voice echoed throughout the Great Hall.
"Penny Halliwell is the grandmother of the Charmed Ones. Patty is their mom." Sirius pointed to Prue who was smirking at all the jaws dropping around the room. "And this is their oldest sister, Prue Halliwell."
"But I thought they were all dead." Tonks shoved her way through the crowd.
"Oh we are but the Elders decided that Harry needed some actual help instead of adults that have their thumbs up their asses." Prue glared at the adults that were slowly gathering around them before looking over her shoulder at Qui-Gon. "Isn't that right, Qui-Gon?"
"Yes, Miss Halliwell." Qui-Gon braced himself as Obi-Wan moved quickly, more like shoved his way, through the crowd.
"Master Qui-Gon, is that you?" Obi-Wan stared at the man that had been his teacher for over a decade.
"I see that you have done as I asked and taken Anakin as your Padawan learner." Qui-Gon looked at Anakin as he came to stand next to Obi-Wan.
"I have and he is a fine Padawan when he isn't showing off." Obi-Wan sent a slight glare at Anakin who bowed his head slightly.
"Just like you did at his age." Qui-Gon tried to keep from laughing at his former Padawan. "Enough talk. We must prepare for battle."
The adults slowly started to gather around the various maps that were laid out on the table in the center of the room. Mad-Eye pointed at several of the towers. "Voldemort may take advantage of the towers. He wouldn't think that we'd have anyone up there."
"That is where we position our sharpshooters and those that can fly." James looked around the room. "I think that we should also keep several people on the stairs so that any of the Death Eaters that make it through won't be able to make it too far into the castle."
"What about the creatures that he has?" Tonks waited to see what James had to say about that.
"Easy, Nymphadora." James ducked as Tonks tried to stun him. "You missed."
"As I was saying before I was almost stunned, we've got people that can take care of them." James looked over his shoulder at Prue who was looking over the list of creatures. "What do you think, Prue?"
"Looks easy enough. My sisters and I will get started on the potions needed to vanquish them." Prue started toward the doors of the Great Hall.
"I'll go with you." Severus quickly followed Prue. "I believe that we'll need some of the blinding potions just in case the Dark Lord has employed some of your kinds of warlocks."
"Sounds like a plan." Prue and Severus disappeared through the doors of the Great Hall.
"Hey, Moody, do you think that we could get some Muggle guns?" James looked over at the misshapen Auror.
"Maybe. What do you need them for?" Moody's magical eye whirled around in the socket.
"I was just thinking that most wizards don't have a defense for bullets and neither do werewolves."
"Werewolves? Why would they have a defense for bullets?" Kingsley looked up from the map where he was writing several notes about the plans.
"Silver is deadly for werewolves, right?" James looked around the room at everyone nodding their heads. "So we make bullets out of silver and they can't deflect them. Hell, bullets will even pass right through a magical shield so wizards can't deflect them either."
"But once we start using those guns, we lose the element of surprise." Kingsley put down the quill he had been using. "They'll start to avoid any of us that have them."
"Maybe but we could hide the guns so that they don't know that everyone has them." James gave Kingsley a wide smile making Kingsley laugh loudly. "Anything else?" James looked around the room at the confused faces.
McGonagall stepped forward. "I believe that was the extent of this meeting, Mr. Potter. I think you should go and spend some time with your son."
James ran a hand through his ruffled hair. "Yeah, I guess I should but that means that I can't hang out with you."
McGonagall blushed as she tried to hit James across the back of the head. "Go on before I forget that you were my favorite student."
James hurried out the doors with Remus and Sirius right behind him. McGonagall shook her head slightly as she watched them disappear.
"Looks easy enough. My sisters and I will get started on the potions needed to vanquish them." Prue started toward the doors of the Great Hall.
"I'll go with you." Severus quickly followed Prue. "I believe that we'll need some of the blinding potions just in case the Dark Lord has employed some of your kinds of warlocks."
"Sounds like a plan." Prue and Severus disappeared through the doors of the Great Hall.
Severus led Prue toward the dungeons and his private potions lab. "Do you remember the ingredients that you need?"
"I'm not sure but if I know my sisters they brought the Book of Shadows." Prue smiled at the confused look on Severus's face. "It contains all of our potions and spells and even information on every demon that we have ever fought."
"I see. Perhaps I should ask Piper or Phoebe to help teach Potions to the students. All they seem to know how to do is melt perfectly good cauldrons."
Prue laughed. "Surely they're not that bad."
"Oh yeah?" Severus waved a hand at one of the doors that they passed. It swung open to reveal a pile of melted cauldrons. "These are the cauldrons that Neville Longbottom has melted through the years."
"Oh my. Maybe you should have Piper teach him. After all she is the one that is a chef." Prue moved to close the door. "She taught us everything that Grams had taught her."
"Maybe we should get your sisters so that we can get all these potions done."
"Right." Prue looked up at the ceiling. "LEO! Leo, I need you to get Piper, Phoebe and Paige and bring them to the …where are we?"
"The dungeons. In fact the next door is my private lab."
"Leo, bring them to the dungeons. We've got work to do." Prue smirked slightly as a pillar of white orbs filled the corridor.
"You called, dear older sister?" Piper grinned as Phoebe moved to give Severus a deep kiss.
Prue noticed that Leo and Piper weren't with them. "Where's Leo and Piper?"
"I think they're trying to keep Mom, Lily, and Grams from killing Dumbledore." Paige smiled slightly. "I really wish I was helping…them."
"Don't we all?" Phoebe laid her head on Severus's shoulder since he was a bit taller than her. "Besides we don't need him to transport us what with Paige here."
"Huh?" Prue rubbed her neck. "Did I miss something?"
"Didn't Mom or Grams tell you about Sam?" Phoebe watched as Prue shook her head slightly. "Mom and Sam had an affair and Paige was the result. That's why when you died the Charmed Ones were reconstituted."
"You mean to tell me that we had another sister out there all the time and we didn't know?" Prue looked pissed off. "Why weren't we told?"
"At the time the Elders had a rule that stated that Whitelighters and witches couldn't get married or be together." Paige rolled her eyes slightly. "So Mom and Sam gave me up for adoption."
"They changed the rules for me and Leo. And when you died that was when we found out about Paige." Piper squeezed Paige's hand. "And since she is half-whitelighter, she can orb."
"At least they found you." Prue turned and looked at Phoebe and Severus. "And what is this?"
"Prue, this is Severus Snape and we're dating." Phoebe narrowed her eyes slightly. "Do you have a problem with it?"
"Does he make you happy?" Prue watched Phoebe nod her head vigorously. "Then I'm happy for you both."
"Now you called us for something?" Paige tapped her foot slightly.
"Oh yeah. We need the Book of Shadows to make potions." Prue watched as Paige held out her hands.
"Book of Shadows!" Orbs filled Paige's hands in the shape of the Book. When the orbs disappeared the Book of Shadows was left in her hands. "Anything else?"
"Okay let's get started." Prue waved a scrap of paper in the air. "We need to make the strongest vanquishing potions that we have."
"This way, ladies." Severus led the sisters a little further down the corridor before stopping in front of a blank stretch of wall. "Polyjuice Potion."
The wall dissolved to reveal a wooden door which swung open to reveal a fully stocked potions lab. They followed Severus into the lab and started to take inventory of the ingredients that Severus had stocked in the lab.
Dumbledore watched as James balled up his fist and hit him square on the nose, effectively breaking his nose. James smirked in satisfaction at the crunch of bones and at Dumbledore stumbling back several steps.
"Now that you've had a go at him, James dear, I'd like a word with him." Patty moved quickly around James and grabbed Dumbledore's ear. Nearly everyone shuddered slightly as the small woman dragged the greatest wizard of the age out of the Great Hall by his ear like a naughty school boy.
"I would love to be a fly on that wall." Sirius's laughter echoed through the Hall as Penny moved quickly to follow her daughter.
"I'll let you know what was said." Penny waved her hand slightly and made the doors close softly.
Patty continued to drag Dumbledore through the corridors and up the stairs toward his office. It was as if Hogwarts knew that the headmaster was in trouble because the stairs didn't move once until they arrived at the floor where his office was located. The gargoyle that guarded his office knew that these two witches meant business with the headmaster so it moved to the side to allow them access to his office. Patty practically threw Dumbledore into one of the chairs that was seated in front of his desk. Penny moved in front of the old man.
"Now, would you care to explain what exactly you were thinking when you placed this entire war on the shoulders of a child?" Penny crossed her arms and glared at Dumbledore.
"Wait, Mother. I think Lily should be here for this explanation." Patty looked up the ceiling. "Leo, would you be a dear and bring Lily and Piperto the Headmaster's office?"
Three columns of orbs appeared beside Patty. Leo, Piper, and Lily were standing next to Patty where the orbs once were. Lily noticed the blood that was still trickling from Dumbledore's nose. "I see James got a hold of you." Lily watched Dumbledore search his pockets for a handkerchief to hold to his nose. "Good. You deserved it. You knew exactly what our wills stated. Under no circumstances was Harry to be put anywhere near the Dursleys."
"But, Lily, your sacrifice gave him a blood protection while he was in that house." Dumbledore started to rise from his seat only to find that he couldn't move. He looked down and saw ropes wrapped around him.
"Did you really think that we would let you up after all the meddling you did?" Penny crossed her arms and glared at Dumbledore.
"Oh I forgot something." Leo dug in one of his pockets looking for something. "Here it is." He pulled a small vial from his pocket and showed it to Lily. "Severus gave this to me the other day and said that it might come in handy soon."
Lily took the bottle and smirked as she turned to look at Dumbledore. "I suggest you open up."
"Now, Lily, do you really thi…" Dumbledore choked slightly as Lily poured the potion down his throat. His eyes glazed over as the potion slowly took effect.
"Now I want to know what you were thinking by sending my son to that house when he had family that could have taken him in."
"With Veronica under the memory charm there was no other option unless you wanted him to be raised as a bully by Sirius."
"Sirius had grown up by then. He was able to take care of Harry. He and Remus would have made damn sure that Veronica was found and brought home. And you screwed that up." Lily clenched her fists at her sides to keep from punching the meddlesome old man.
Piper smirked slightly at Lily. "Now that he has answered his questions…" Piper held up her hands. "Can I blow him up?"
"Piper!" Penny shook her head slightly. "You shouldn't be talking like that."
"Why not, Grams? Doesn't he deserve it?" Piper noticed that the look in Penny's eyes matched the one in Lily's and her own.
"Because it would be personal gain, dear." Patty pulled Piper's hands down. "Besides I think Lily may have an idea of what to do with him."
"We just might let some of the reporters at him while he is still under the influence of the Veritaserum." Lily glared at the old man.
"Now, Lily, there is no reason for us to do that." Patty looked over at Leo. "Did Severus give you the antidote to his potion?"
"Now, Patty, there isn't one for Veritaserum." Penny glanced at Leo giving him a look that dared him to say otherwise.
Patty turned to look at Dumbledore. "Is that true, Albus?" She watched as he struggled not to answer her.
"I'm afraid so, my dear." Dumbledore looked frustrated over his lack of control of the situation. "It takes as few as ten minutes to wear off."
"Good. I have thought of another question for you." Lily narrowed her anger filled green eyes at him. "Why didn't you get Sirius a trail? You were, and still are, the head of the Wizengamot. You could have gotten him a trail."
"Because I believed that he would be a bad influence on Harry. He proved that when he went after the one that betrayed you." Dumbledore struggled slightly but the ropes that were holding him were too strong.
"I have a question for you from Ani." Patty moved into Dumbledore's eyesight. "Why didn't you try to help Leo after her death?"
"He may never be accepted in our world because of what he is. Most of the Wizarding World will claim that he's too dangerous to keep alive and the Muggle World will label him as a mutant. Also he might be the exact reason that the Muggle World finds out about the Wizarding World. That is a battle that we don't need."
"Too late, old man. There are thousands of people out there that are straddling both words. What do you propose to do about them?" Penny crossed her arms and glared at Dumbledore. He was reminding her about some of her previous husbands.
"And what about Harry? Was he to be a martyr?" Patty's was getting ready to grab the letter opener that was laying on Dumbledore's desk and sink it into the old man's heart.
"Yes. Once he and Voldemort killed each other, I was going to step up and help the Wizarding World rebuild in my image. We would be completely separate from the Muggle World."
"Do you realize that will not be happening now?" Penny had a hand on Patty and Piper. It was to keep them from killing the old man.
"When Ms. Croft arrived, I knew that my plan was ruined. Then the rest of the allies arrived and it completely destroyed my plans." Dumbledore's eyes cleared as the potion wore off.
"Let me tell you something. One day soon, the Wizarding World and the Muggle one are going to join forces eventually and when they do you will be without a leg to stand on." Lily released him from the ropes. "Harry has already destroyed all the Horcruxes including the one in his scar. So when he and Voldemort battle, Harry is going to win no matter what." Lily turned on her heel and headed out of the office.
Patty and Penny moved to follow her but Piper had other plans. "I suggest that you get your affairs in order quickly because you just may not make it through the war." Piper waved her hands at several silver machines that were actually monitors and blew them up. She quickly followed Patty and Penny out of the office with Leo right behind her.
Dumbledore stared dumbly at the walls before he finally moved to his desk to make sure that all his affairs were indeed in order.
Okay I got this one finished. I think that there may be no more than 10 chapters left. Enjoy and review!
