Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Charmed. I only own my original character (s), such as Phoenix.
A/N: This is a Charmed and Harry Potter crossover. This will follow closely with the Harry Potter books and Charmed seasons 1-4 and loosely on the Charmed seasons 5-8 and the comics. This story started before the Fantastic Beasts movies and Cursed Child, so, I am not sure if they will be included within this world. But I have thought about a possible Charmed and Fantastic Beasts crossover…... ;)
Chapter 1: Cleaning Gone Wrong
"Achoo!"
"Bless you!" Phoenix looked at Kaleb, annoyed. "What?" he asked, flipping a page from a book he was reading.
"You could help, you know."
Kaleb shrugged. "I was told not to by Miss Donovan, and she is scarier than your mother…. not by much though!" Phoenix laughed, wiping down another book, then placing it back on the shelf. "Isn't there a spell you can cast to help you with this?" Kaleb asked.
"I'm already grounded. I don't need the backlash of personal gain." Phoenix picked up another book, sneezing along the way.
Kaleb placed his feet back on the floor and closed the book he was reading. "What about your other magic?" Phoenix stopped mid wipe and gave Kaleb an owlish look. "You already forgot?" She kept blinking until Kaleb reached for her back pocket and pulled out her wand, waving it in front of her.
Phoenix snatched her wand, then glanced back at him. "I haven't forgotten. It's just, with what happened, I kind of kept it on the down low. Plus, we aren't supposed to do magic outside of school."
"When did that ever stop you?" he shrugged nonchalantly, a smile following.
"Never really." Phoenix looked at her wand, back at Kaleb, then around the room. "I wonder if they would know if I used it since I'm in a magical school?"
Kaleb shrugged again. "I don't know. I'm still not clear about that."
"I don't know either. I think Ron said something about a magical tracker or something."
"That's kind of invasive."
Phoenix gave him a questioning look. "And the elders being in our business isn't?"
"True."
Phoenix looked around the room again. Placing her rag and the book on the table next to Kaleb.
"Hello?" Kaleb said impatiently.
"Just hold on!"
"What? You don't know the spell?"
"We didn't learn it per se…"
"But?"
"But I have seen Professor Flitwick use it from time to time."
"So, you know how to use it?" Kaleb said, leaning back.
"We shall see." Phoenix shifted her head back and forth while closing her eyes and moving her wand lightly to her professor's motions.
"I'm waiting." Kaleb's voice broke through her concentration.
She peeked an eye open and stuck her tongue out. He rolled his eyes in response, leaning back in his chair, taping his fingers on his arm. Phoenix closed her eye again, watching her professor one more time before feeling comfortable doing it herself. She took a breath and raised her wand to chest height. Feeling the magic flowing through the wand, Phoenix moved her wand from right to left and up like an L and three short waves left to right. And stopped. She opened her eyes, taking a peek around her. Kaleb following her move.
"That's it?" He said, somewhat disappointed.
Phoenix slouched her shoulders and sighed, grabbing her damped rag. Maybe there was more to it? Did the professor say an incantation, and she didn't hear it? She looked at Kaleb and shrugged. Before she was about to say something, she and Kaleb heard a noise. The two looked at each other, then at the shelf the noise was coming from. A few of the books in there were shaking or wiggling, from what Phoenix thought. Wiggling themselves forward until they shot out.
Phoenix jumped back towards Kaleb, who jumped out of his chair. The two looked at each other, then back at the many books now zooming past them. Phoenix felt a slight tug. She looked down and noticed her rag trying to move away. She let it go and it started making its way towards the floating books, polishing them off one by one.
The two stood there in awe until Phoenix shook off her surprise and smirked at Kaleb. "Told you I could do it." She said, crossing her arms.
"This is so awesome!" Kaleb shouted, smiling. "This is going to be so useful." Phoenix rolled her eyes and punched him in the arm. "Ouch" He rubbed his arm, pouting. "That hurt."
The two continued watching until Phoenix noticed something off. "What is happening?"
The books were zooming at an outrageous speed. The rag looked exhausted, unable to keep up with the traffic. Clean and dirty books were running into each other, starting fights. The casualties falling onto the floor, with pages ripped. Some books passed the fights and zoomed towards their destinations.
Phoenix and Kaleb looked at each other in horror. Phoenix dropped her wand and flicked her wrist up, freezing them, but some could flutter free. "Why aren't they freezing?" Kaleb asked, trying to stop them himself.
"Does it look like I know?" Phoenix yelled, flicking her wrists again with the same results, the books continuing at a faster pace.
"Did you do the movement wrong?" Kaleb yelled, picking up the books that fell on the floor and dragging them under the table with him. He waited until Phoenix tried to freeze the books again before crawling on the floor to grab more books while dodging the ones that didn't freeze.
"I don't know! Like I said, we didn't learn the spell!" Phoenix yelled, gritting her teeth in frustration.
Kaleb looked back at her. "You don't think this is being counted as personal gain, do you?" he asked, dodging another flying book.
Frustrated, Phoenix picked up her wand and yelled, "Flintifors!" The books and rag stopped, twitched, and fell onto the floor, turning into matchboxes.
Kaleb moved from under the table and stood up. "Why didn't you think of that earlier?" he asked, out of breath. He placed the books in his hands on the table and looked at Phoenix.
"Because they should have frozen." Phoenix said, then waved her wand, transforming the matchbooks back into books. Her rag not too far.
The two looked around, books and pages all over the place. "Do you have anything that could help with this?"
Phoenix looked at him and shook her head. "Reparo!" she yelled, moving her wand in a backward G. The damaged books flew up in the air as the ripped pages repaired themselves, binding back to the books they belonged.
"What is going on here?"
The two flinched as the last of the books repaired themselves and flew toward the shelf.
A/N: Whoop, Whoop! Book two has started!
