The Power of Five

Disclaimer: I don\'t own the characters of Charmed or Harry Potter. This story is for fun and fun only.

Summary: What if Patti Halliwell had not four but five daughters? While helping Prue clean out the attic, Paige finds something interesting. The four sisters and Leo begin the search for the fifth Charmed One. Their search leads them to Hogwarts and straight into the war between the Light and Voldemort. Will they find their lost sister? Can the Charmed Ones help defeat Voldemort? Who knows. R/R.

Author’s Note: This is an Alternate Universe. Prue never died but Paige was still found. Patti died when Paige was 12, Phoebe was 14, Piper was 17, and Prue was 19. The youngest is now 17 or 18. Prue was already in college when Patti died.

Chapter 12- Dreams

Everyone returned to their classes. Sirius returned to 12 Grimmwauld Place, after promising Paige he would write often. Hermione and her sisters had not yet told Remus and Sirius that Hermione had seen their deaths. They were still trying to find a way to stop it.

“You okay Hermione?” Neville asked as he and Hermione headed for Herbology.

“Huh? Yeah. I’m fine Neville. Thanks.” Hermione answered with a smile.

“If you need to talk, I’m always here.” Neville said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Thanks Nev.” Hermione said.

Over the holidays Harry and Ginny had gotten together and Ron and Padma Patel had started writing. When everyone returned from the holidays, Ron and Padma made things official. They had been dating for the last three weeks.

Hermione focused her mind on the Herbology lesson. She was paired with Neville. At the feast, the night everyone came back, Albus had named Neville Draco’s replacement. This shocked everyone. Even Neville.

“Hermione, could you help me with my potions essay tonight? I’m still having problems understanding the topic.” Neville asked as he and Hermione washed their hands.

“Sure. How about right after dinner?” Hermione answered.

“Thanks! You’re the best Hermione.” Neville said with a hug smile.

Hermione headed on to Ancient Ruins. The rest of the day Hermione had managed to keep her premonition out of her mind. At dinner, she sat with Ron, Harry, Ginny and Neville. She looked up at the staff table and watched as her sisters, dad and Severus sat talking and laughing. She hoped her premonition could be stopped.

“Hermione, what should I get Padma for Valentine’s Day?” Ron asked.

“Hmm. What does she like?” Hermione replied.

“Um, flowers, jewelry, plants, things that are calming. She says calming stuff helps her relax and study.” Ron answered.

“I think I know the perfect thing. I saw it on the last Hogsmeade trip. There’s one scheduled a week before Valentine’s Day. I’ll go and pick it up. That way Padma won’t get mad because you’re with me and not her.” Hermione said.

“That’s okay. I can go with you. I told Padma that the next trip I was meeting you and Harry in the morning. She said it was fine. She was going with her sister and Lavender anyway. We’re meeting up at the Three Broomsticks in the afternoon.” Ron explained.

“That will make it even better.” Hermione said.

After dinner Hermione and Neville headed to the Head Boy and Girl’s chambers. Neville got his potions book and essay and he and Hermione sat in the sitting room and began working.

“So, what are you having problems with?” Hermione asked.

“I’m having problems finding information on the Moonstone. I couldn’t find any books about it in the library.” Neville answered.

“I guess the books are check out. But I do have a book that can help. Hang on a sec.” hermione said as she got to her feet.

Hermione went into her bedroom. She returned a few seconds later with a book on rare and useful stones. She sat beside Neville and handed him the book.

“Everything you need to know should be here.” she said.

“Thanks!” he cried.

Hermione sat beside Neville as he looked up the information and began working on the essay. For over and hour she answered his questions, spell proofed his essay and helped him find the correct information on the stone.

“Whew. Finished. That was actually fun. Thanks for the help. I would have flunked this essay for sure.” he said.

“It was fun. And you’re very welcome Neville. If you ever need any help in potions or any class, I’m always here.” she said as she placed her hand on his arm.

There was a shot of electricity that shot through them. Their eyes locked. Slowly their faces moved closer and closer. When their lips met, the kiss was soft and shy. It lasted only a few minutes.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive me.” Neville apologized as he pulled away.

“Neville…” Hermione started.

“I’ve got to get to bed. Good night Hermione. I’ll see you in the morning.” Neville said as he gathered his potions books, essay, ink and quill.

Hermione sat there and watched as he walked to his bedroom without a backward glance at her. She grabbed her book and went to bed herself. That night both Hermione and Neville laid in bed, thinking the same thing.

What the hell happened?

Hermione fell asleep a little before eleven.

*Begin Hermione’s Dream*

Hermione was standing at the edge of a cliff over looking a swirling ocean. It was quite beautiful and peaceful.

“Hello Hermione.” Draco said as he walked toward her.

“Draco. I’m so glad you’re here.” Hermione said as she enveloped him in her arms.

“Something’s wrong Mia. What is it?” Draco asked.

Hermione sighed. Draco could always tell when something was bothering her. Even in death he could tell. She pulled him to a nearby fallen tree and they sat down. She took a deep breath then told him about Neville and her kissing.

“Then, he pulled away and apologized. When I tried to talk to him, he just got his stuff and went to bed.” Hermione said.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! I’m sorry. It’s just funny that Longbottom actually had the nerve to kiss you.” Draco laughed.

“Draco. This isn’t funny. I mean you’ve only been dead 3 months and already I’m kissing someone else! And I liked it!” Hermione cried as she got to her feet and began pacing.

“Mia, there’s nothing wrong with that. I know you love me and you always will. I’m not saying I like the idea that it’s Longbottom, but hey. We can’t always choose who we fall in love with. It’s something that just happens.” Draco said as he stood up and stopped her pacing.

“You must think I’m a horrible person.” Hermione said sadly.

“No I don’t. I think it’s great that you’re moving on Hermione. You can’t feel guilty about it. Maybe there’s something between you and Neville. Then again maybe not. You and him have to sit down and talk about it. You can’t pretend it didn’t happen.” Draco said as he pulled her into his arms.

Hermione held him tightly. She was so confused. But she knew Draco was right. She and Neville had to talk about what happened that night. Otherwise, it would eat at them both. She looked up into Draco’s blue eyes. The two moved closer and their lips met in a loving kiss.

She missed his kisses. The kiss lasted forever it seemed. Then Draco pulled away. It was time for him to go.

“Remember what I said Mia. I’ll always love you and always be there when you need me. I love you.” Draco said as he stepped away from her.

“I will. And I love you too Draco.” Hermione said softly.

Draco vanished into the mist that had set in. Hermione sat back on the log and started thinking.

*End Hermione’s Dream*

Hermione tossed in her bed and clutched her other pillow tightly to her. In Neville’s bedroom, Neville too tossed and turned. Trying to sort out what had happened that night in his mind as well.

*Begin Neville’s Dream*

Neville was walking through the beautiful gardens at Hogwarts. His thoughts dwelling on the brief kiss he and Hermione had shared.

“Something on your mind Longbottom?” a voice said behind him.

Neville turned and found Draco Malfoy standing behind him leaning against a tree.

“Draco? What are you doing here? You’re dead!” Neville exclaimed.

“Very good. Look, when the living dream, the dead can visit. I’m here to talk to you about what happened tonight with you and Hermione.” Draco answered.

“How do you know about that?” Neville asked as his cheeks reddened.

“Let’s just say, I’m a guardian angle of sorts. It’s hard to explain. I can see what’s going on with those I love that are still alive. That’s my parents and Hermione. And Professor Snape. I saw you and her kiss.” Draco answered.

Neville looked away. He was ashamed of himself. He felt he had taken advantage of Hermione. He knew how much she loved Draco and that she still loved him and always would.

“Look Neville, what happened tonight, you nor Hermione have done anything wrong. I want her to move on. I don’t want her to continue to think on something that she couldn’t stop.” Draco said.

“But I took advantage of her! She still hurting from losing you and I just up and kissed her like that!” Neville cried.

“Hello! Didn’t you notice that she one, didn’t stop you and two, she kissed you back. Longbottom, you’ve liked her for how long now? Three, four years? You and Hermione need to talk. That’s the only way you two are going to work this out. Maybe there’s something between you two, maybe not. You guys need to find out.” Draco said as he stood before Neville.

“Why are you telling me this? Aren’t you pissed?” Neville asked.

“Pissed? No. Surprised? Hell yes. As to why I’m doing this, Hermione has found closure. She and her sisters have vanquished the demon that killed me. It’s time for her to start moving on. You know about who she is. I mean, true the Charmed Ones have bad track records with their boyfriends dieing, but that doesn’t have to be the case for Hermione.

“I just want her to be taken care of. If something does happen between you two, just promise me that you’ll love her and treat her the way she deserves. She deserve to have happiness too. Just as he sisters do.” Draco answered.

Neville just stood there. He thought about the irony of the situation. Here he was, in his dream no less, talking to his one time enemy and now friend, who was dead.

“I promise Draco. Tomorrow I will talk to her. If we get together, she will be taken care of. And even if we don’t, I’ll always look out for her when I can. I would never let anything happen to her. Just like Ron and Harry wouldn’t if they can help it.” Neville said as he held his hand out to Draco.

Draco shook Neville’s hand. With a friendly smile Draco faded away. Neville walked over to a nearby bench and sat down to think.

*End Neville’s Dream*

Neville rolled onto his side, took a deep breath and slept peacefully the rest of the night. A gentle smile on his face.
