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 3- Explanations Part 2

The next morning Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige made their way into the Great Hall. They sat down just as the students entered. Everyone noticed the Charmed Ones at once. Albus rose to his feet.

“Good morning. I know announcements are usually made at dinner, but this is a special case. As you can see, we have four guests. I would like to introduce Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige. They will be staying here for a while. During their stay they will be assisting some of our teachers.

“Prue will be helping Professor Vector in Ancient Ruins. Piper will be with Professor Snape in potions. Phoebe will be assisting Professor Lupin in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Paige will be helping Professor Sprout in herbology. Please make them feel welcomed. Thank you.” Albus said then sat down.

As the students ate the Prefects handed out the class schedules. Once Hermione was seated she kept staring at the Charmed Ones.

“What’s wrong sweetie?” Draco asked.

“Nothing. I just feel as if those four are familiar. I don’t know why.” hermione answered.

Up at the head table Prue was talking with Severus.

“So, who’s Hermione?” Prue asked.

“There. The girl sitting between the blond haired boy and the dark brown haired one.” Severus answered.

“Who are those she’s sitting with?” Prue questioned.

“The blond is Draco Malfoy, her boyfriend and my godson. The brown haired one beside her is Harry Potter, one of her best friends. The red haired girl is Ginny Weasley, her best girl friend and Harry’s girlfriend. Finally, the red haired boy is Ron Weasley, her other best friend and Ginny’s brother.” Severus replied.

Prue watched her sister. At that moment their eyes locked. Brown met brown. Prue smiled and so did Hermione. Prue leaned over and spoke to her sisters. Piper, Phoebe and Paige all looked at Hermione who was now talking to her friends.

“My god! She looks just like mom and Remus.” Phoebe gasped.

“I know. Out of all of us, she looks the most like mom.” Piper added.

After breakfast everyone headed to class. Each sister got to see first hand what a talented witch their sister was. As well as how kind. By dinner the Charmed Ones couldn’t wait to speak to Hermione.

“How was your first day as teacher’s aids my dear?” Minerva McGonagall asked Piper.

“I loved it. Has Severus always been so…harsh?” Piper answered.

“Oh yes. That’s just how he teaches. You’ll get used to it.” Minerva chuckled.

“Hermione is brilliant. Mom would be proud.” Phoebe said to Remus.

“Yes. Merlin knows I am so proud of her. I can’t wait till this weekend when she will finally know everything.” Remus said as he stared at his only daughter, his eyes filled with fatherly pride.

After dinner Hermione went with Draco to his rooms to do their homework. They sat at the table in the Head common room, their books and notes spread everywhere.

“You gonna tell me what’s wrong or do I have to guess?” Draco asked.

“Well, it’s those four teacher’s aids. All the class I had today with them, I felt like they were watching me.” Hermione answered with a confused look upon her face.

Draco closed his book and moved over to her side.

“Hey, don’t worry. I talked to Severus. He said these four sisters are here to help. You said they seemed familiar, maybe you’re familiar to them.” Draco replied.

Hermione nodded. The two made their way over to the couch. Hermione snuggled into Draco’s arms.

“I missed you so much. The whole time I was in South America I wanted you with me.” Draco whispered.

“I wish I could have been there.” she whispered back.

As Draco held her, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a green velvet ring box. Before he left for South America, Draco had gone to talk to Ronnie. Ronnie happily gave Draco his approval to ask Hermione to marry him.

“Marry me.” Draco whispered.

“W…wh…what?” Hermione stuttered.

“Will you marry me? I love you with all my heart and soul. I want us together, so will you marry me Hermione?” Draco asked again.

“Yes! Yes! Oh Draco of course I’ll marry you!” Hermione squealed as she threw her arms around his neck.

When she pulled away Draco held the ring box. He opened it and showed her the ring. Hermione gasped. It was a beautiful diamond with three rubies and emeralds on either side. Her eyes filled with tears as he slid the ring onto her finger.

Hermione admired the ring then kissed him passionately. Draco wrapped his arms tightly around her. Draco rolled them over so that he was on top. Hermione moaned as Draco began to kiss her neck and massage her clothed breasts.

“Draco.” Hermione sighed.

Draco slid one hand under her shirt and bra. The feel of her firm, smooth breasts caused Draco to moan.

“Oh Hermione. You feel so soft.” Draco whispered in her ear.

Hermione wiggled her body against his. She felt his body react to her movements. She sighed as his other hand slid under her skirt and over her underwear. Draco groaned as he felt her damp underwear. He slowly slid one finger under the elastic and against her clit.

“Ohhh.” Hermione moaned and moved against his finger.

“Beautiful. So beautiful.” Draco sighed as his finger moved against her.

Hermione moaned again as Draco’s finger entered her. His other hand and moved to the other breast. Her bra and shirt were now pushed up leaving her chest bare. He then leaned down and began to suckle her breast.

“Oh yes Draco. That feels so good.” Hermione whispered as she threaded one hand in his blond hair and moved the other to the waist band of his trousers.

Draco moaned as he felt Hermione unbutton and unzip his trousers and slid her hand inside. He began to wiggle as she reached into his boxers and took hold of his hardening penis. Draco then added a second finger inside her. Hermione arched her back and moaned. The kiss was heavy and heated. Both moaning in pleasure. A few seconds later Draco felt her tighten around his fingers, her juices pouring over his hand. At the same moment, he felt himself reach his climax. They lay there gasping and gently kissed each other.

“You know I would never pressure you to do anything you don’t want to do right?” Draco asked as he stared into her brown eyes.

“I know. And that makes me love you more.” Hermione said and kissed him lovingly.

Hermione fixed her clothes and did a cleansing spell on her hand while Draco went to the bathroom. Hermione sat on the couch admiring her ring. It was a perfect combination of herself and Draco. Draco stood at the doorway staring at his fiancée.

‘She’s so beautiful and so important to me. I can’t and won’t lose her.’ Draco thought.

He stared at her for a few minutes longer. Hermione had moved and as she did, the light caught her hair and face. Draco almost stopped breathing.

‘Merlin’s Beard! She looks just like Remus Lupin and that Halliwell witch that died eighteen years ago! But that’s impossible! I better talk to Severus.’ he thought.

“Love, I better get you back to the tower.” Draco said.

“You’re right.” Hermione said.

He helped her gather her things and walked her back to Gryffindor Tower. After a kiss good night he made his way down to the dungeons. As soon as he reached his godfather’s door he heard voices from inside.

“Remus, everything will be fine. Severus and I will be right there.” Albus said.

“Albus, Hermione is about to find out that one, her whole life has been a lie, and two, she’s a member of the oldest and strongest magical families in the world. Not to mention that I’m her father.” Remus said.

‘I was right.’ Draco thought.

“Remus, Hermione will understand. Especially after she sees the pensive. I know you worry about her hating you, but she won’t.” Severus said.

“Severus is right Professor. Hermione would not hate you.” Draco added as he entered the room.

“Draco! Did you just hear all that?” Severus asked.

“Yeah. I didn’t mean to but it proved what I saw in Hermione tonight.” Draco answered.

“What do you mean?” Albus asked.

Draco explained what he saw. The three wizards looked at him in surprise and shock.

“There’s something else. I asked Hermione to marry me tonight.” Draco said.

“What did she say?” Remus asked.

“She said yes. Is that all right with you sir?” Draco answered.

“All I ask is that you take care of her Draco.” Remus replied.

The next morning after breakfast Minerva went to get Hermione. Remus, Albus, Severus and Hermione’s sisters were all waiting for her in Albus’s office. About ten minutes after breakfast Hermione sat before Albus.

“Hermione I know you’re curious as to why you’re here. So I’ll let Professor Lupin begin.” Albus said.

“Hermione, I know this summer, the Grangers told you, you were adopted. You also know your mother’s first name was Patricia. Her last name was Halliwell.” Remus began.

“Did…did you say…Halliwell? As in the Charmed Ones?” Hermione stuttered.

“Yes. Patricia Halliwell was our mom. You’re our sister Hermione.” Paige answered.

“Well, half-sister. You also possess all of our powers. Piper can freeze things in motion or blow things up, Phoebe gets premonitions, Paige is half Whitelighter and I have telekinesis and can also astral project myself.” Prue answered.

Hermione sat there and took everything Prue just told her. It all made sense. When she was seven she had knocked over a vase and froze it as she went to catch it. At thirteen she had moved a book from the top shelf in the library right into her hands. The summer before her fifth year she saw in her mind that her mum was going to get a promotion at work, a week later she was promoted to head of the dentist office she worked at. And last summer some boys in her neighborhood were picking on her. One second they were closing in on her and the next she was a block from her house.

“Have you ever used any of these powers?” Piper asked.

“Yes. Everything except the astral projection.” Hermione answered.

“So at least you know we’re not complete wacky jobs.” Phoebe said with a giggle.

“There’s more Hermione.” Severus added.

“What?” Hermione asked.

“Hermione, I’m…I’m your father.” Remus said hesitantly.

“You’re my father? Do the Grangers know all of this?” Hermione questioned.

“Yes. The night after you were born, Albus and I took you to the Grangers. We explained everything to them.” Severus answered.

“What did they say?” Hermione asked.

“They said when the time was right they would tell you about your mom. They would let Remus decided when to tell you he was your father.” Albus replied.

“Hermione, I know all of this sounds crazy but it’s true.” Phoebe added gently.

“I believe you. All I want to know is why you and mum gave me up?” Hermione said.

“I think it would be better if I show you.” Remus said sadly.

Remus rose to his feet. Hermione followed suit. Remus pulled out his wand and poked at the pensive. The memories began to swirl. Remus put his arm around Hermione’s shoulders. Together they leaned foreword and found themselves within the memory.

*Remus’s Memory*

Hermione and Remus found themselves in a hospital room. There was Remus, Severus, Albus and Hermione’s mother. Patricia Halliwell.

“Pattie, you know it will be safer if Hermione is given up.” Severus said sadly as he looked at the baby Pattie held.

“How do we know that?” Remus asked.

“Remus, if Voldemort finds out about her, she is as good as dead.” Severus answered.

“I can take her back to San Francisco with me. She would be safe there.” Pattie argued.

“No. I’m afraid not Patricia. Voldemort has spies everywhere. Even here in America.” Albus said.

Patricia and Remus looked at each other. Their eyes filled with sadness. Remus and Pattie’s eyes began to fill with tears.

“Can Pattie and I have a few minutes alone? Please?” Remus asked.

Severus and Albus nodded and exited the room. Remus walked over and sat beside Pattie. She handed the baby to him.

“They’re right Remus. Hermione can’t stay with you or me. We have to give her up.” Pattie said tearfully.

“I know. I…I just don’t want to lose her.” Remus stuttered.

The modern Remus turned to Hermione.

“Honey, that was the hardest decision your mother and I ever had to make.” Remus said. as a single tear fell down his cheek.

“I know.” Hermione replied.

There was a knock on the door and Severus and Albus re-entered the room.

“Have you made your choice?” Albus asked.

“Yes.” Remus answered.

“We will give her up Albus.” Pattie said.

“Don’t worry. Albus knows of a squib family who are here in Dallas looking to adopt a wizard or witch. Albus has already spoken to them. They are just waiting to hear from him.” Severus said.

Remus looked at Pattie who nodded. She leaned over and hugged and kissed Hermione one last time. Remus rose to his feet and walked over to Albus and Severus. He then kissed his daughter a final time and handed her to Severus.

“Take her tonight. I gather you have the proper paper work ready Albus.” Remus said as tears filled his eyes.

“Yes. All that has to be done is for Patricia to fill out and sign the form for adoption.” Albus answered.

Pattie quickly filled out the document. She and Remus agreed to leave his name off the adoption form, but have Albus tell the family adopting Hermione he was the father. Finally everything was in order.

“The Grangers are a wonderful couple. Your daughter will be safe with them. Plus Severus and I will watch over her as often as we can.” Albus said.

*End Remus’s Memory*

Hermione found herself back in Albus’s office. She looked at her sisters. She saw a welcoming warmth in their eyes. She then looked at her father. His eyes were filled with tears and fear. Before she could speak, Severus spoke.

“Hermione, there’s more I feel you should see.” Severus said softly.

Hermione nodded. As she stepped up beside him, he poked at the pensive. Hermione felt his hand on her shoulder a second before they were plunged into the pensive.

*Severus’s Memory*

Hermione and Severus found themselves outside the hospital. A second later Albus and a younger Severus exited the hospital. Hermione and Severus followed them.

“Albus, are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” Severus asked.

“It is the only way to protect Hermione. I don’t like this anymore than you do.” Albus answered.

Hermione and Severus quickly found themselves apparated to a house. They followed Albus and Severus to the door. Albus knocked. A younger version of Ronnie opened the door.

“Ah. Albus, Severus, please come in.” Ronnie said.

Albus and Severus entered. So did Hermione and Severus.

“Everything is done. We have brought you your daughter.” Albus said.

Severus lowered his cloak and reveled Hermione. He sadly handed her to Elizabeth who gently took her into her arms.

“She’s beautiful. What did Patricia and Remus name her?” Elizabeth asked.

“Hermione Genavive.” Severus answered.

“Than Hermione Genavive is what she will be.” Ronnie said.

The memory shifted.

“Where are we?” Hermione asked.

“This was where Remus moved shortly after he returned to England after meeting your mother again.” Severus answered.

Hermione looked around. On the fireplace was a picture. Hermione walked over and looked at it. It was a picture taken the day she was born. It showed Remus smiling brightly as he held Hermione and smiled at her mother.

“Severus, are you sure?” Remus asked as he and Severus entered the room.

“Yes. Hermione has already shown the ability to freeze objects. She’s only seven Remus. I stopped by to check on her. I watched as she knocked over a vase and froze it as she reached out to catch it.” Severus answered.

“She will definitely be going to Hogwarts then.” Remus said.

“Yes. Like Harry Potter, her name has been on the list since she was born. Don’t worry. I would never allow anything to happen to Hermione. I swore that to you and Pattie.” Severus said.

*End Severus’s Memory*

Hermione looked up at Severus.

“You swore to watch over me?” Hermione asked.

“I swore to protect you. I always keep my word. As long as I breath I will always protect you Hermione.” Severus answered.

Hermione smiled at him. She then faced her sisters and father.

“Do you think the five of you could tell me about being a Charmed One and my mother?” Hermione asked with a smile.
