Prelude to War

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 16- Prelude to War

March passed into April. Harry, Ron and Neville were now coming to the training sessions with Hermione. They knew that Ron would be there at Harry’s side just as Neville would be at Hermione’s. Harry, Ron and Neville were doing great, despite the fact they couldn’t use Wiccan magic like the sisters.

“Okay. Severus and I have finished the potion. Since Voldemort isn’t actually a demon, we won’t need a piece of his flesh like we did with Cole.” Piper said as she and Severus walked into the room one April afternoon.

“Flesh?” Ron asked.

“Yeah. With upper-level demons you usually need a piece of their flesh for a vanquishing potion. Well, for Cole we did anyway.” Phoebe explained.

“Yuck!” Harry, Neville and Ron cried.

“Okay. We have the spell, the potion and now all we need is Voldemort. If everything goes in our favor, we should be able to vanquish him.” Prue said.

Practice was dismissed. Ron and Harry headed off to Quidditch practice, Neville went to the library to study for the upcoming potions test. Hermione knew that now was the time to tell her dad and Sirius about her premonition.

“Um, dad, Sirius. There’s something I think I need to tell you.” Hermione said nervously.

“What is it honey?” Remus asked.

“I think you guys should sit down for this.” Hermione said to her dad, Severus and Sirius.

The three Wizards conjured chairs for everyone. Once everyone was seated, Hermione took a deep shuttering breath then began to speak.

“Do you guys remember that night after Christmas when I had that premonition and I said it was bad?” Hermione asked.

The three nodded.

“Well, I saw part of the final battle. Voldemort had a bunch of demons and warlocks with him. Me, my sisters and everyone else were fighting them. Voldemort yelled the Killing Curse. I turned in the direction. I watched as the curse hit dad and Sirius. You two were fighting with your backs together. The curse hit you both and you fell to the ground dead. I called out to you right before the curse hit but it was too late.” Hermione said sadly.

Everyone remained silent. No one really knowing what to say. Especially Remus and Sirius. Hermione simply stared at her folded hands in her lap. It was Severus who spoke first.

“You had this premonition for a reason. Perhaps there’s a way to save them.” Severus said.

“But there may not be. I had a premonition of Andy dieing seven years ago and we couldn’t stop it from happening.” Phoebe said.

“Looks like we’ll be seeing James and Lily again.” Sirius said with a sad smile.

“No! I can’t and won’t let you two die! Dad, I just got you back! There has to be someway I can stop it from happening! Like I did with my premonition about Cole!” Hermione cried as she jumped to her feet.

“Hermione, listen to me. If there is nothing you can do, then there’s nothing you can do. Just like Phoebe said. There’s a chance that maybe you and your sisters can stop it, but there may also be a chance that you can’t.” Remus said gently as he got up and hugged his daughter.

Hermione began to cry. She feared her father and sister were right. That there was nothing they could do. Just then Leo orbed into the room wearing a worried look.

“Leo? What is it?” Piper asked.

“The Elders have found out when Voldemort is attacking.” Leo answered.

“When?” Prue asked.

“A month. On the 15th actually.” Leo replied.

“Let’s go tell Albus.” Paige said.

The nine left the room and made their way to Albus’s office. They found him drinking tea while staring out of his window. They quickly explained about Voldemort attacking in a month.

“Then it has begun. I will notify the Order and the Ministry. I will also have Harry assemble the D.A. I suggest you all begin working harder than ever. Especially if Voldemort has indeed become the new Source.” Albus said.

“He has. The Elders were able to confirm that. The potion you and Severus have made should work along with the spell that Prue found.” Leo added.

Everyone left. Hermione returned to her rooms for a hot shower. Two hours later found here sitting on the ledge of her window staring at the lake. That was how Neville found her when he returned from the library.

“Hermione? You all right?” he asked.

“Neville, hold me?” she asked sadly.

Neville was at her side in an instant and had her in his arms. She clung to his shirt and cried. All Neville could do was hold her. He had no idea what was wrong, but whatever it was it was bad.

“Sshh. I’m here. Just let it out my dear.” he whispered as he rubbed her back.

Through her tears she told him everything. About her premonition and when Voldemort was attacking. Neville now understood. She was scared. Scared of losing her father after just really getting him back.

The couple stayed in their chambers and had lunch. Hermione wasn’t ready to face her friends or the school at that moment. Neville and Hermione just laid on the couch holding each other.

“You feeling better?” Neville asked.

“Yes. Thank you. I think I just need a good cry.” Hermione answered.

“My Gram always told me, “Sometimes Neville a woman just needs to cry.” She told me that all I could do was be there for her. Whoever she was. You know, she wrote and said she was happy for me and thought you were a wonderful woman and witch. She’s looking foreword to meeting you at graduation.” Neville said.

“Ha. Ha. So am I.” Hermione giggled.

The couple reappeared at dinner. Harry told her the D.A. was meeting the next afternoon. Dinner helped Hermione to relax even more. Temporary washing away all her trouble and fears. Letting her feel somewhat normal. Whatever that was for a Charmed One. That night after dinner Leo and Piper were seen heading for the lake.

“Do you think Hermione is ready?” Leo asked.

“Yes. She has closure for what happened to Draco and soon will get closure for the death of the Grangers. She’s ready Leo. She even said that Draco came to her and Neville in a dream and said he was fine with them being together. Much like you did for your wife Lillian.” Piper answered.

“Draco was a good person. He’s at peace now. That in itself had to have brought some comfort for Hermione.” Leo said.

Piper nodded. The couple sat on the grass near the shore and watched as the sun sat and the moon rose. Since they had come to Hogwarts, Piper and Severus had come up with a potion that had cured Remus of his lycropathy. They had found the cure back in November. The first full moon after he was cured, Remus had taken Phoebe for a walk. No longer in fear of hurting someone else.

“It really is peaceful here.” Piper sighed as she rested her back against her husband’s chest.

“It sure is. But I do miss San Francisco.” Leo agreed.

“Yeah. I wonder what Hermione will do once she graduates and this threat is over?” Piper wondered.

“I don’t know, but whatever she does you and her sisters will just have to support her.” Leo answered.

“Don’t worry we will. Just as long as she stops in for a visit once and a while.” Piper said with a smile.

Leo just laughed. They sat outside for an hour before Leo orbed them back to their room. Prue was with Severus, Phoebe with Remus, Paige with Sirius and Hermione with Neville. Each couple taking in this peaceful moment. Not knowing if it would be their last.
