I do not in any way own that which is the wonderful world of Harry Potter or the world of Charmed. Those belong to J.K. Rowling and the WB. I am just having Fun with a place they created for us.

By the way guys and girls; I just wanted to let you know first off that this chapter was a bit forced so please forgive me. Ihope you enjoy and so without further ado...

Chapter 8

Explanations Finale

Last time…….

"Yea; your probably right; just a …………" but Harry stopped at seeing who's voices they were. His mind was still reeling with the information given to him. That only one word came to his mind and lips at the same time and he; himself could not believe it.

"Sirius?"

"What do we do; this is the second time he has fainted" Phoebe stated with an obvious tone of worry in her voice.

"He has only fainted once, Phoebe; cause the first time you and Paige both knocked him out" Piper said while dabbing his forehead with a damp rag.

"Right; sorry about that…..again" Phoebe said

"Girls lets not get into this cause my Godson is lying; once again on your couch" Sirius said exasperatedly

"And what are you doing here; from what Harry told me, and us; your dead" Paige asked

"Are you or are you not the Charmed Ones?" Sirius asked looking to Paige "For if memory serves; you have summoned Penny, and Patty from the beyond"

"Hey no fair picking on the one who went to talk with Harry; I think I'm allowed to forget things aren't I" Paige said putting on a fake hurt look

"Hey; can we stop bickering, we need to wake him up so we can finish explaining things to him" Leo said turning to Paige and Sirius

"Leo, you can't just wake someone up after they pass out; you have to make sure that they are ok; which he is, and let them be for a moment" Phoebe said looking to her brother in law.

"And how would you know this" Leo replied

"Well; I did take health in High School, and besides he has heard and seen a lot of information that most people would have passed out long ago"

Piper was not really paying attention to anyone else; save for Harry. How could she have let Leo talk her into the plan that they had set up just months ago. Well months ago for her and Leo, but not for her Sisters or Harry. She had missed fifteen years of his life that she would never get back. But in the end she knew it was for the best, and just hoped that he could come to forgive her and maybe even call her mom.

"Wh…where am I?"

"Your safe; don't worry, you just passed out" Piper said

"Sirius, I thought I saw and heard him, I must be really out of it" Harry said bringing his hand to his head to rub his temples.

"Well, kid you didn't I'm here" Sirius said with a smile on his face

It took Harry a minute to focus on the voice but when he did he sprung up from his resting place in Pipers lap and jumped into his Godfathers open arms. The force of which Harry moved it almost knocked Sirius out of the chair he was occupying.

"I missed you so much" Harry said burrowing his face into Sirius' chest

"I think I do kiddo" came his reply

"You have no idea how glad I am to have you back; I thought I lost you" Harry said looking into his beloved Godfathers face.

"I'm not staying Harry; I can't, I'm just here to help…uh clarify things, as it were" he said looking at Harry with sadness sweeping over him.

"What are you talking about Sirius, they told me everything, what more could there be" a perplexed Harry asked

"More than you know or even I know, but there is a reason, and we will do our best to answer your questions; you just have to bear with us while we attempt to get the facts straight" Sirius said

"Ok, so lets sit down and get to it; no time like the present" Phoebe said clapping her hands together and plopping down onto a couch nearest her.

"We are going to answer Harry's questions; so shh" Piper said sitting herself down beside Leo who said "Well um…what would you like to know"

"Uh…right, well what exactly happened to cause you to give me up" Harry asked. He thought it best to start at the beginning since he wasn't exactly open to it before.

"Ok, after you were born we had you about a month when one day Phoebe here had a premonition that you had been taken from us and killed. By the Source" Piper said

"Who's the Source" Harry asked

"A being that is complete evil; not really even human" Leo answered. Harry nodded and then turned to Piper for she had begun to speak next.

"Anyway, we; Leo and I; talked about options and what it was we should do. And after some long hours of thought we decided the best course of action was to place you where he could not find"

"The past" Harry answered

"Yes; though while we knew if we were to give you up then word would get back to him and he would begin his search for you; even though it would turn up nothing"

"Ok, so what made you decide on taking me to the Potters?"

"That's an easy one Harry, we wanted you to be safe and so we chose England. It is far enough away that you would be safe; well and not to mention being in England and in the past at the same time" Leo answered

"Ok, you really didn't answer my question but oh well; why if I'm supposed to be your kid; do I look like James Potter, and have Lily's eyes" Harry asked looking at the three of them, hoping to stump them but what he was not expecting was the answer Piper gave him.

"He; James that is; and the three of us are related to him"

"What, how" Harry gaped

"Well, your great-great-great-great-great, oh heck never mind. Your great granddad Jonathan Potter, came over from England a year or two after graduating Hogwarts, and well ran into our ancestor Melinda Warren. And well they apparently met up at the Halloween Festival that the village put on" Piper was cut short in her tale as someone had interrupted her.

"Uh Piper Chris is awake do you want to get him or should I" Leo asked

"If you could that would be great" Piper replied. Leo nodded and made his way out of the room to tend to the cries of Chris.

"Anyway where was I" Piper stated

"The Festival" Harry quickly answered as to get back on track

"Ah, yes right; well like I said they met up and he offered to get her a drink. She obliged and they began to talk and well they um" Piper stopped looking to Sirius who was on the brink of laughter for he knew where this was going and wanted to enjoy watching her try to tell her son what had gone between the two ancestors'.

For he had attempted to have that talk with Harry last year at Christmas; but had failed horribly.

"Well; let's just say that the two of them were feeling very…. um…..Libidinous" Piper said. Phoebe and Paige both started to snicker as their sister's face begin to turn a very nice red.

"Wait; what's wrong, what does that word mean" Harry asked which made the two sisters; who before were only snickering; start laughing out right.

"Sirius, what does that word mean" Harry asked between his own chuckles

Not wanting to say it out loud he bent over to Harry and whispered into his ear the meaning of the word. As Sirius told him the meaning the look of comprehension that spread onto Harry's face made Paige and Phoebe laugh even harder. Harry who was no longer laughing uttered only one word.

"Ew"

This caused Phoebe and Paige to lose composure, and bust out laughing.

"As near as we can guess Harry; the reason you look like James is because he looked like Jonathan Potter. It is common for ones child to look like an ancestor" Piper said trying to bring things back to the topic at hand.

"But my eyes"

"Are the result of the killing curse, we are not sure how; but what we are sure of is that you did not get them from Lily" Sirius answered

"So what about the prophecy, is it still my task to defeat Voldemort" Harry asked looking to Sirius

"What prophecy" Piper said also looking to Sirius

"Professor Dumbledore told me about a prophecy, just after you went through the veil" Harry said motioning to Sirius

"Why don't you tell us this prophecy so we can hear what it says" Leo said as he entered the room again

"Ok; The one with the power to vanquish The Dark Lord approaches…Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not…And either must die by the hand of the other….for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches….." Harry recited.

All eyes were fixed on Harry even after he had told them the prophecy. Harry knew that what he had just told them was a lot to take in, for it had taken him some time. He could practically hear the gears turning in everyone's head.

"Well then, if that is the case then you will need to be trained to fight this self proclaimed Dark Lord and you will be taught by the best" Piper stated

"Who" Harry asked hopefully

"Why us of course" Phoebe said "We can't have you lose, think of what that would do to the Halliwell name. Demons would think us weak and we can't have that" Paige put in.

"So what do you say Harry" Leo asked looking at his son "Stay here learn to defend yourself and beat that yuppie"

"I will on one condition" Harry said

"What's that" Piper asked

"I get to stay and learn about my family as well" Harry said looking to all of them a smile on his face.

"I think I speak for all of us here Harry when I say we are more than willing to submit to that condition" Piper said walking over to her son and embracing him.

Harry; while he had experienced the motherly hugs of Molly Weasley; he had been yearning to know what a hug from a parent that was your own felt like. And he savored every moment of it. He broke from the hug when someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Harry I have to go now" Sirius said looking down at his Godson

Harry knowing that this might have to happen turned to embrace the only real Father figure he had ever had in his life.

"Will I ever see you again" Harry asked releasing his Godfather from the hug

"In time you will but you have so much going for you here that you will want to explore it; and don't forget what I told you at the end of your third year…The ones we love never truly leave us, they are right here" Sirius replied putting his hand over Harry's heart.

"I will miss you Sirius" Harry said as tears started to fill his eyes.

"I would hope so kiddo" Came his reply.

And in a swirl of white lights Sirius was gone. "Ok, now that it is official, you need to head straight to bed so that in the morning we can start your training" Piper said getting into the mother role.

"Come on I just got here, can't we talk some more; let me get to know you all better, I mean you are my family" Harry asked

"No; Piper's right, you will need your rest for she is a slave driver. Trust me" Paige said

"I am not Paige now it is time for bed; for everyone, so march" Piper stated with a smile on her face.

Leo showed Harry to his new room, he let him know where everything was in case he had to get up in the middle of the night. After he was sure Harry was going to be alright he pat him on the shoulder and bade him goodnight.

Harry looked around his new room thinking of all that had transpired in the last couple of hours. He now had a new life; however unsure of what it would bring. But he did know one thing for certain and that was that. He felt better than he had two weeks ago. He felt lighter; like he knew he could win, now that he had a Family. And with that he drifted off into the first peaceful night of sleep that he had ever had.

A/N: I am sorry that it took three chapters to get a lot of the explanations out. It could not be helped. But I can now say that the story will now pick up and should move faster. And real quick my good friend RoseMarieLynn; challenged me to find a way to use a word that we heard recently in my story. As to what the word is….well you will have to find that on your own; guess or you can even email me and I will tell you what that word is.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter and real quick I would like to as you all what powers you would like to see Harry with. I have an idea but I never say no to more options.

As always please READ and REVIEW. Thank You.
