Did You See The Flares In The Sky?

Bouncing Chris in her arms, Piper looked around the younger yet older looking attic, feeling a tugging on her shirt; she smiled down at her little boy, crouching so she was eye level to him, her smile widening as she watched Wyatt reach out and gently wrap his hand around his little brothers smaller one. Leo gazed at his beautiful family, wondering how there could ever be a version where he wasn't there, he couldn't imagine ever leaving them… but he had, hadn't he? Even though it was for the greater good, he had left them, even though it was to make the world a safer place for his family, he had still left them and it had really hurt Piper, if it hadn't been for Wyatt, it would have destroyed her. And even though he was back and he had promised to never willingly leave again, he could tell that Piper didn't completely trust him not to hurt her again but that was going to change because he was going to gain back her trust, he was going to prove that he would be there for his family until the day he died. Tilting his head, Leo looked closer at Piper, noting how she almost seemed to look… younger. The smile lines on her face had faded, the stress lines were gone, the baby fat she had still had from Chris' birth had disappeared. Looking down at his hands, he noticed their youthful appearance. Glancing up, Leo turned to face Phoebe and Paige and felt his eyes widen at the drastic change in their appearance.

"Uh, Piper? You might want to see this." Leo called over to his wife, hoping she wouldn't blow a gasket but Piper wasn't exactly known for her temper management

Smiling at both her sons' giggles, Piper turned around to see what was so important and felt her eyes widen at the sight of her sisters. Her teenage sisters… that weren't supposed to be teenagers! Seeing Piper and Leo gaping at them, the two unsuspecting sisters walked over to a mirror and…

"What the hell!?" The two younger sisters shouted, staring wide-eyed at their reflections. Clutching her short but much longer then it was ten minutes ago hair, Phoebe gaped at her eighteen year old appearance, when she said that she wanted to go back and stop herself from ever being with Cole, she hadn't meant it quite this literally! With a similar expression, Paige stared at her long black hair, it looked exactly like it used to when she was eighteen but… hadn't she been a brunette like ten minutes ago?

What. The. Damn. Hell?


"Phoebe, would you let it go?" Pipe moaned irritably as they walked down the streets of West Country, being annoyed by her sister who just would not shut up about the age thing, the only thing keeping her from throttling the annoying psychic was the sleeping angel in her arms.

"No, I will not! Why the hell weren't you two de-aged?!" Phoebe asked angrily, crossing her arms over her chest huffily as she stalked alongside her family, irritably wondering why Paige wasn't freaking out about this with her.

"We were, granted not as much as you two, but we were. Not that I'm complaining. Now can't you just do the same and be happy about this already? I mean, do you know how many people would kill for this chance?" Piper asked rhetorically, rubbing Wyatt's back soothingly when he shifted.

"No, I cannot be happy about this! I didn't want to be eighteen again! I wanted a baby, damn it!" Phoebe exclaimed, throwing her hands up frustrated, "And that sure as hell isn't happening now! No male in their right mind wants to start a family at eighteen years old!"

"Actually that's not true. In the wizarding world, getting married and starting a family right after graduating high school is the social norm." Leo interjected as they walked into a park, reaching down to take Wyatt from Piper who smiled thankfully at him as she stretched her tired arms, separating from her family, she crossed the street carefully and entered a restaurant.

"So where are we going to live?" Leo questioned as he sat Wyatt down on a bench, shifting Chris into a more comfortable position before settling down next to the little boy who immediately leaned against his father.

"Um, Grams was once married to this British guy, Al something, and when they got divorced, he gave her the house they lived in just in case she ever wanted to visit or something. So I guess we'll stay there." Phoebe told him, shrugging, before tilting her head in thought, "Although, now that I think about it, I don't actually know where it is. I should probably ask someone for directions." She looked around the park before stopping when her eyes fell on a group of familiar looking men, smiling; she walked over to them, "Excuse me? Hi, do you guys know where Godric's Hollow is?" At the sound of her voice, they all looked over at her, the black haired one raking his eyes over her form, making her shift uncomfortably. Noticing her discomfort, the shaggy haired brunette slapped his friend over the head, smiling at her apologetically as he dodged his friends elbow, making her laugh as she glanced down, cheeks heating up. Noticing that she could no longer hear her sister complaining, Paige opened her eyes and looked around the park for her, finding her surrounded by hot English guys, the newly eighteen year old quickly jumped up and jogged over to her sister, throwing an arm around her shoulders as she gave the black haired one a flirty smile.

"Ello, luv, you must be a tourist. Tell me; are all Americans as pretty as you?" The black haired one asked, winking as he threw an arm around both of their shoulders, causing Paige's smile to quickly die, she didn't do man-whores, thank you very much.

"Don't call me love." Paige told him, scrunching her nose up in disgust as she took his hand off her shoulder, holding it like it was diseased.

"Ha! Looks like you finally got turned down, Sirius." A tall red-head exclaimed, laughing as she walked up to them with Piper by her side

"Guys, this is Lily, we just met in the restaurant, and Lily, these are my sisters, Phoebe and Paige." Piper introduced, waving Leo over, "And this is my husband, Leo and our sons, Wyatt and Chris."

"Oh my, they are precious; they are the most adorable babies I have ever seen." Lily gushed over the children, making Piper and Leo beam with pride as Wyatt giggled, smiling at the pretty red-head who almost melted.

"And since my lovely fiancé has obviously been reduced to a pile of mush, let me introduce us, I'm James and these are my two mates Sirius and Remus, pleasure to meet you all." James said charmingly, wrapping his arms around his fiancé who was busy cooing at Chris and playing with Wyatt, both of whom were perfectly fine with the attention from the pretty girl. Biting her lip, Phoebe walked over to the tall brunette, glancing up at him shyly as butterflies swarmed around her stomach, she felt like a teenager who was experiencing her first crush… oh, wait, I guess she kind of was.

"Hi, I just wanted to thank you for saving me from your friend." Phoebe smiled up at Remus, trying to ignore her sister who was bickering with the aforementioned friend

"Oh no problem, sorry about Sirius, he's a little… intense." Remus explained, smiling back at her as he peeked shyly through his bangs, taking her breath away when she saw a familiar pair of green-hazel eyes, "You get used to him though."

"Really?" She questioned skeptically, raising an eyebrow up at the handsome man, she directed her gaze towards his friend who was still shamelessly flirting with her increasingly pissed off sister.

"No." He deadpanned, making her laugh, the sound causing a wide smile to spread across his face as he joined her. A grunt of pain drew their attention to the left where Sirius was clutching his stomach from where Paige had elbowed him.

"Oh, feisty, I like." Sirius drawled, smirking suggestively at Paige, causing her to scoff in disgust and roll her eyes

"Oh, annoying, I don't like." Paige snapped, shoving him away from her and storming away, her long raven hair flying out behind her.

"I hate that you're leaving but I love watching you go!" Sirius called after her, making her shriek in aggravation and flip him the bird as she stalked across the street, leaving him laughing at her frustration. Shaking her head, Piper breathed out a laugh as her and Lily followed after her sister at a more sedated pace.

"Hey Lily, do you happen to know where Godric's Hollow is?" Piper asked her new friend as they stood on the sidewalk, waiting for a lull in traffic so they could cross.

"Well, I would sure hope so, considering I live on that block. Why?" Lily questioned, glancing at the older woman curiously and slightly suspiciously as she fiddled with her engagement ring.

"We're moving into our Grams' old house on the block but we just moved to England, obviously, so we have no idea where it is. Do you think you could show us?" Piper inquired hopefully as they crossed the street to the restaurant

"Sure, it's actually not that far from here. Why don't we grab our food and head over there?" Lily asked, holding the door up for the smaller woman

"That would be great, thank you." Piper said appreciatively, walking into the warm restaurant

"My pleasure, luv."


I do not own Harry Potter or Charmed.

I wasn't originally going to de-age Piper and Leo but then I looked over the ages and realized that they would be like twelve years older then everybody and that just wouldn't work with what I have planned so now Piper is only seven years older and Leo is eight years older. And they haven't realized it, and probably won't, but their bodies aren't the only thing that got de-aged, their minds are also de-aged, not as dramatically as their bodies because they still remember everything they've gone through but still de-aged.

Please review.
