This is an AU Crossover-Fanfic including Harry Potter and Charmed.
Prue Halliwell, Piper Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews all go to an american school of witchcraft. Prue is 17, Piper 16, Phoebe 15 and Paige 13. (I know, that their age differences don´t fit the series, but this is AU!)
The Halliwell sisters don´t know, that Paige is their half sister. Paige is believed to be a muggleborn witch.
It is 1977 and Voldemort is rising. He recently got many followers in America, too, who then started to terrorize the US. Their first and biggest attack was against the american school of witchcraft in California, as there were too many muggleborns allowed to go there. As many muggleborn students, several teachers and the headmistress were killed the school was closed and all the students were divided into groups to be sent to other wizarding schools throughout the world.
Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige are among the group of students that are sent to Hogwarts.

November 1977 – Hogwarts ExpressPrue sat in the Hogwarts express and looked out of the window. They should be there soon. She was curious to see their new school, but also sad, that she would never be able to go to Ohanzee, their old school, again. Even if it would be reopened one day sche surely would have graduated already, as this was her last year.
Piper looked up sleepily. She had dozen off. Phoebe was still sleeping and Prue looked out of the window.
"Have you been sleeping at all?", Piper asked her sister.
"Not much", Prue answered. The flight from San Francisco to London had taken hours and had been tiring, but somehow she hadn´t been able to sleep much. How could muggles sleep at all in planes and trains?
"I wish we could just have used a portkey", Piper mumbled while sitting up straight.
"Me, too, but they thought it would be safer to travel like muggles. Noone would expect that."
"Of course not. Which sane wizards would travel like this", Phoebe asked. She had just woken up.
"Are we almost there?", she then asked yawning.
In that moment the door to their compartement opened and a friend of Phoebe´s came in. "I heared that we´ll arrive in 10 minutes", she said happily before turning around and heading off again to grab all her stuff and make her sleeping boyfriend get up.
Prue, Piper and Phoebe started to get ready, too.
15 minutes later the small group of about 20 students stood in Hogsmeade and were greeted by Hagrid, who made them all sit in boats that would bring them to Hogwarts over a lake.
Piper looked up at the castle in awe. "Wow, it looks much bigger than Ohanzee", she said.
"Yes, it looks great", Phoebe agreed smiling. Prue just nodded, not looking away from the castle.
When they finally arrived at the other side of the lake they got out of the boats and walked towards Hogwarts, where Professor McGonagall was waiting to welcome them.
Great Hall – dinner
The Hogwarts students sat at their usual tables and all chatted excitedly, waiting for the arrival of the new students. Dumbledore had informed them half an hour ago, that they would get new students.
James leant in closer to his friends. "I never thought, that this was possible. New students during the year."
"Me neither, but never before was a wizarding school attacked, was there?", Remus asked.
"I heared it was terrible", Peter said sounding frightened.
Sirius looked at his friends. He just hoped the new students would hurry up, he was really hungry. When he was about to say something to his friends the doors to the Great Hall suddenly opened and Professor McGonagall entered with the american students.
Prue looked around the Great Hall. It was amazing.
"Wow", said Piper looking around.
"Ohanzee was nothing against this", Phoebe whispered.
Then McGonagall told them that they would be sorted now and had to put the sorting hat on.
"That ugly hat?", Phoebe asked silently when the first american student was called and made a Hufflepuff.
A few minutes later Phoebe was called forward, sat down on the small chair and put the hat on. 'Ah, I see', mumbled something in her ear. 'A lot of loyalty, bravery and brightness, too. Where to put you best? Oh, a great destiny you have… I think I know where you belong: "Gryffindor!"
That was weird, Phoebe thought when she got up and walked towards the table with cheering people. She sat down at the end of the table and watched Piper putting the hat on next. A few seconds later the sorting hat shouted Gryffindor once more and Phoebe cheered with the rest of the table, happy that her sister was in the same house.
Piper handed Prue the hat and then walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down besides Phoebe.
Prue put on the hat. 'Another one, I see…' "Gryffindor!" Prue smiled happily and walked over to her sisters. "That went well", she said and grinned even more when she noticed a few good looking guys sitting nearby.
The next two boys were made Ravenclaws. Then Professor McGonagall called for Paige Matthews.
Paige walked forward and placed the hat on her head. It slid over her eyes immediatelly and everything went dark for her. 'Oh, how many of you are there?', something whispered to her. Paige wondered what this meant, but then the hat already shouted Gryffindor once more.
Paige walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Prue. She didn´t really know her and her sisters much, but they were from Ohanzee, too.
Phoebe gave Paige a smile and then watched the rest of the sorting. Two more studends ended up in Hufflepuff and one in Slytherin.
Sirius was glad when the sorting had finished and the new Gryffindors didn´t look bad. Grinning he leaned in closer to them.
"You´re lucky, you got into the best house", he said with a smile.
Prue looked at the boy who spoke and returned his smile. It was one of the good looking guys she had noticed already.
"I bet it is", she said grinning.
Phoebe smiled at the boy and his friends, too. They seemed to be about Prue or Pipers age. "So, what´s all this about the houses anyway?"
"The houses are like your family whithin Hogwarts", James said imitationg McGonagall. Sirius, Remus and Peter laughed.
"At least that´s what McGonagall says", James then added.
"And she´s kind of right", Sirius then said. The Gryffindors were more like a family to him than his own family would ever be.
"Uh, more family", Phoebe said with a played annoyed look. "As if I didn´t have enough sisters to look out for me already", she then added with a slight laugh.
"Hey, we´re not that bad", Piper said while the others started to laugh again.
Before anyone could say anything else Dumbledore rose to his feet and welcomed the new students to Hogwarts.
A few minutes later he sat back down and food appeared on the tables.
"Finally", muttered Sirius and started to fill his plate.
Phoebe happily began filling her own plate up with the wide range of different foods. Neither she nor her sisters had had a decent meal since the night before.
"So what are your names?", she then asked the boys. It didn't seem fair that they now knew her and her sisters names because of the sorting but she still didn't know theirs.
"I'm Sirius", Sirius managed to say between mouth-full's, he had never been much of a talker when there was food to be eaten.
Remus looked up from his own plate and smiled at the sisters. "Remus Lupin, nice to meet you", he said politely before nudging James.
Paige silently listened to the conversation but didn't join in. Not knowing the sister's that well she didn't really feel like she had the right's to butt in.
"James Potter", James managed to say between two mouthfuls of chicken.
Peter stared at the girls and then blushed when he noticed one of them stared back.
"I´m Peter", he then quickly said and turned to his plate again. He wasn´t really good at talking to girls or making new friends.
Prue had noticed the blond guy staring at them. But when she stared back he quickly looked away. He somehow seemed different than his friends.
She then looked at the other boys again. "I´m Prue, and this are my sisters Piper and Phoebe", she said not really being sure if the boys could remember their names from the sorting.
"And that´s Paige, right?", she said and looked at Paige for confirmation. She didn´t really know her, but had heard her name a few times.
Piper grabbed a few chicken wings and put them on her plate. When Prue introduced them she smiled at the boys.
Phoebe gave them a small wave when Prue told them their names in return. She was glad that they were friendly. There was nothing worse than going to a new school and feeling unwelcome.
Paige looked up from her potatoes and peas when she heard someone say her name. Noticing that it was Prue Halliwell she nodded and smiled. "Yeah, it's Paige", she said glancing at the boys and then back at the sisters.
Remus smiled at Paige. She looked a few years younger than them. He made a mental note to introduce her to some students her own age once they were in the common room.
Sirius once again looked up from his own meal and glanced at the sisters. He couldn't help but smirk slightly. The Slytherins wouldn't be pleased with the fact that the best looking new students had been housed in Gryffindor.
"You know, if you want or need anything, just come to us. We will be happy to help, right guys?", he said turning to grin mischievously at his friends.
Prue raised an eyeprow at Sirius words and his mischievous grin.
"We´ll think about it", she said and grinned back at him. He was rather hot.
James smiled. He was enjoying the company of goodlooking girls, even if he couldn´t help but wish Lily would be among them. He turned around and looked for her. He smiled widely when he noticed her, but sadly she didn´t look back, or maybe it was good, as she still wasn´t really that fond of him.
He then turned back to the new girls. "So, which year are you in?"
"Six", Piper said while purring herself some pumpkin juice.
"Seven", Prue said smiling.
"I'm in the fifth year", Phoebe said with a slight pout. These guys were evidently going to be in their sixth or seventh year. She was going to miss out. She then noticed Paige was playing with her food.
"Hey Paige, you will be in the third year, right?"
Paige looked up. "Yeps", she said once again smiling before looking back down at her food.
Phoebe returned the smile and looked back at the guys. "I'm guessing you are all seven or six year students right?"
"Were all in our seventh year", Remus answered.
"Hey, we might have lessons together", Sirius said looking at Prue with a grin.
Prue smiled happily at the boys, when she heared that they were all seventh years, too.
"What subjects do you have?", she then asked Sirius.
Piper ate silently. She was tired and a bit shy when it came to boys.
Peter glanced at the girls again. They were pretty. Maybe he finally would manage to get some more friends or even a girlfriend? Maybe one of them would like him? He tried to think of something cool to say when he accidentally pushed his glass over. The table and Peters clothes immediately got soaked.
Sirius was about to tell Prue what subjects he had when he suddenly felt something damp on his left knee. He gave a yelp and realized Peter had knocked over his glass.
"Pete!", he said with a touch of annoyance in his voice.
Remus leaned forward and peered over the table at Sirius and Peter.
"Here Peter", he said handing Peter a piece of tissue.
Pheobe was trying to keep a straight face, it wasn´t an easy thing to do. She had knocked a glass over plenty of times before but still she found it kinda funny.
Even Paige had looked up and was looking curiously over at Peter and Sirius.
Prue could hardly stop herself from laughing. It wasn´t just the glass, it was Peter and Sirius looks.
"As I was about to say, I study defence against the dark arts, potions, charms, transfiguration and herbology", Sirius said sounding rather proud that he was doing so many subjects.
Piper glanced over at Peter, then she just took out her wand and with a wave everything was dry again.
"Here you go." She then smiled over at the boys.
Peter blushed deeply. When one of the girls helped him he gave her a small smile and blushed even more.
"Thanks", he muttered. Then he got up. "I´ll see you later, got something to do", he muttered and rushed away quickly.
Prue looked after him and raised an eyebrow. That guy was weird.
James had laughed slightly about Peter and then observed him closely. His friend had looked troubled. He would have to talk to him later. But now he turned back to the new students and listened to them while finnishing his dinner.
Prue looked at Sirius. "So, you´re planning to become an auror?", she asked knowing that she had chosen exactly the same subjects to become an auror.
Sirius gave Piper a grateful smile and then noticed Peter had stood up. He raised an eyebrow when Peter made an excuse to leave and then scurried off. He cast a quick glance at James and Remus, something was definitely up with Peter.
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind being an auror", Sirius said turning his full attention back on Prue again. "It's something worthwhile, you know. What about you?", he then asked. As much as he loved talking about himself he felt he should contribute by asking her also.
Sirius liked Prue, it was obvious to Remus by the way his friend had turned his whole body towards the girl and was talking quite expressively. Remus couldn't help sighing slightly, Sirius was a heart breaker and pretty much a womanizer. If Prue wasn't careful she would end up hurt.
"Me, too. I always wanted to become an auror. My grandma once was one before she retired to take care of us", Prue told him.
Dinner passed quickly, so did dessert. Dumbledore said a few words and then excused everyone to bed.
With people getting up and retreating out of the Great Hall, the Halliwells followed their suit and with the Mauraders as their guides they soon found themselves in the Gryffindor common room.
The Next morning - potions class with Professor Slughorn
"Right, now that everyone has their cauldrons out and fires lit, you have half an hour to prepare the potion that's written on the board. I don't expect your potion to be completed due to the complexity of the potion but the one who gets the furthest will be known as the class winner", Slughorn said cheerfully, clasping his large hands together while rocking on the balls of his feet. He then glanced at Lily and gave her a wink.
Lily in return smiled at him, it was well known that she was one of his favorites.
"Right then. You can start...now!", Slughorn then said as if he was starting a race. He excitedly began to walk around the tables, watching the students hurrying about trying to collect the right ingredients.
Lily was sharing at table with Prue.
The Mauraders were on the table infront of theirs. Sirius occasionally looked at Prue and gave her a cheeky wink.
Lily rolled her eyes at Sirius behavior and said to Prue: "I would watch out for them if I were you." She then smiled at her. "How are you settling in?"
Sirius heard what Lily said, rolled his eyes and turned back to his cauldron. "Oi James, stop Lily from turning Prue against us!", he grumbled as he began to chop some of his ingredients ready to put into the boiling water.
"Sirius, you're not cutting those herbs up finely enough", Remus said.
James frowned at Sirius. How should he stop her? She wouldn´t listen to him anyway. They were getting along better than the last years, but she still was rather cold towards him. And he hadn´t managed to make her go to the Halloween ball with him.
James then turned to Sirius. "I bet you´ll manage to stop Prue from turning against us all by yourself", he said and clapped his friend on the back.
He then threw the shrivelfig pieces into the potion and stirred it five times clockwise before looking at his friends again.
Sirius smirked when James clapped him on the back, he had also listened to Remus and was now taking more care with chopping the herbs.
"Has anyone talked to Peter this morning? He looked troubled last night and was already asleep when we went to bed", James said. "I wish he could be here with us." Since Peter had failed many OWL´s they nearly had no subjects together with him anymore.
"Peter has been acting strange for the pass few days, has anyone tried asking him what the matter is?", Remus asked looking at James and then at Sirius. He too like James was concerned for their friend.
"Why don't we try talking to him at lunch?", Sirius suggested.
"Yes, we should do that", James said before glancing at Lily again. She was putting some herbs into their potion and a strand of her red hair had gone loose. She looked so beautiful, he thought with a dreamy look.
Prue smiled at Lily. They had met during breakfast and Lily had then offered to work on the potion together.
"I´m sure I can handle them", she then said and grinned at Sirius. He was cute, charming and funny - a heartbraker. She guessed that he liked to play. As long as she knew that she´d be safe, wouldn´t she? She would just have to see.
"Just don't say I didn't warn you", Lily said casting a quick glance over at the boys in question, before returning to their potion making
Prue put some of the herbs into the potion and tried to concentrate on working at it again.
"So far everything is fine. Our dorm is huge and the whole castle is great", she then said answering Lily questiona bout how she was settling in.
Lily nodded and smiled when Prue said she was settling in.
"And we do have something for the eye, too", Prue added whispering and gestured to the boys infront of her.
Lily looked up at Prues words. Even she couldn't deny that Potter, Black and Lupin were good looking, what annoyed her was the fact that they knew they were good looking and used it as an advantage.
"Hmmm", was all she said to that remark and tipped her finely chopped herbs into the cauldron, which began to spit muli-colored drops into the air.
Prue nuged Lily in the chest when she only made 'hmmm'. "Come on, they are hot, aren´t they?", she whispered.
Lily was busily examining the potion, making sure it was the right color, that the instructions said it should have, when Prue asked that question. Tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear she glanced over at James, Sirius and Remus.
That was when she noticed James looking over. Resisting the urge to roll her eyes she turned back to Prue.
"Yes, they're hot, but -", she was then interrupted by Sirius who had decided to come and interfere.
"Ladies", Sirius said with a grin, while leaning on the table and gazing at the substance inside their cauldron. His, James and Remus's potion wasn't going as well. He looked at Prue and grinned. Grinning at her was something he found himself doing quite a lot. Maybe he should ask her to the dance, he hadn't asked anyone yet.
Prue was about to ask 'but what', when she saw Sirius standing infront of her.
"Do you guys need help with your potion?", Prue asked grinning when she noticed his glance at their potion.
James rolled his eyes at Sirius. What was he doing? They should work on their potion! They needed good marks to get into the auror school after all and as they didn´t belong to the famous slug club they had to work hard for good marks!
Lily looked mortified when Prue asked Sirius if they needed help with their potion. "I'm sure they have everything under control, right Sirius?", she said with a smile, though her smile did appear rather strained.
Sirius in response grinned at Lily, she was so easy to wind up. "Well actually, your potion does look a little more ahead of ours, our potion is not spitting colored drops like yours. Any clue why ladies?"
Prue smiled at Sirius, grabbed a silver liquid and handed it to him. "Try this", she said looking at him. "But pay attention to the instructions about when to add it", she added with a teasing grin.
"Thanks", Sirius said when Prue gave him a bottle which was full of a silver liquid. He then smirked when she teased him. "Will do."
Remus who was listening to Sirius looked up. "Sirius stop distracting them and come and help me and James with this potion, will you?", he said, gesturing to Sirius to come back to their table.
Sirius just waved his hand. "In a minute. So, Prue, have you heard about the dance?", he then asked.
James grimaced at Remus. "It´s hopeless. You won´t change him anyway."
Remus sighed when James pointed out that it was useless to try and pry Sirius away from Prue. "Well it looks like it's just you and me then."
James nodded at Remus. Sirius obviouly was too busy to work on their potion right now. And he could understand that Sirius preferred to talk to Prue. He would have liked to talk to Lily, too, but Lily wouldn´t be as happy about that as Prue seemed to be. Why was Sirius always lucky with girls? Not that he wasn´t. He could have many girls, but he just wanted that one.
Lily groaned. "Sirius can you please sort out your love life after the lesson has finished!"
Sirius only ignored her remark and continued to look at Prue.
"What dance?", Prue asked interested. She hadn´t heared about it.
Lily frowned, sat down in her seat, took out her potions book and began to read it. There was nothing much else they could do to their potion now, and besides not much else would be done with Sirius around.
"Haven't you heard about the dance?", Sirius asked surprised.
"No, I haven´t heard anything. Just arrived last night, remember", Prue said giving Sirius a mischivious grin.
"So, what kind of dance is it?", she then asked. Their potion needed to be left alone for about 10 minutes anyway.
"It's a costume dance", Sirius said with a smile, he then picked up a pestle and playing with it.
"Cool, I like costume balls", Prue said smiling.
"Normally it's just a plain old formal, but Dumbledore wanted to make it interesting this time, I think. So want to go with me?", he asked again with a smirk.
Prue felt her heart beating faster, but didn´t let him see how happy she felt, that he asked her to the ball.
"Why not", she said giving him a grin. "And when is that ball?"
Lily groaned inwardly, why was she the only one who could see past Sirius charms? Flipping through the book she found her gaze wandering over to where James stood. She then quickly looked away again, annoyed with herself. She had found herself looking at James alot this yea,r which made her want to cringe. She couldn't be starting to like him, could she?
When Prue said yes to going to the ball with him, it took all of Sirius strength to stop himself from jumping up and thumping the air. "It's on Halloween. We will have a great time", he said enthusiastically.
Prue smiled. "I´m sure we will have a great time", she said.
Remus continue to tend to their potion that was bubbling merrily in the cauldron. "Can you retrieve the bottle Sirius is holding, James? We will need it in a moment and it doesn't look like Sirius is coming back anytime soon."
James nooded at Remus and turned to walk towards Sirius. "Can I have this?", he said and grabbed the liquid Sirius was holding.
He then looked at Lily awkwardly. "Hi Lily", he said silently, not knowing what else to say to her. She didn´t really like him after all.
"Yeah sure mate", Sirius muttered, but didn't even notice that James grabbed it from him.
Lily looked up, seeing that it was James who had spoken, she sat up a little straighter.
"Hello James, how is your potion coming along?", she then asked not really sure what else to say to him.
"With this it will be fine", James said smiling at Lily and showing her the liquid. He could hardly believe that she started a friendly conversation.
"So any ideas of what you might go as?", he then asked Prue.
When Sirius spoke again she thought for a moment. "I don´t really know", she admitted. "Will have to go and look for a costume." She wanted to ask him where she could find costumes here when she noticed Professor Slughorn coming their way.
"Watch out", she whispered to the two boys.
James had just wondered if he should ask Lily to the ball when he heared Prues warning and noticed Slughorn, too.
"Quick, Sirius", he muttered and turned to go back to Remus and their potion.
Professor Slughorn was impressed with the potions he had seen so far and was about to go and see Lily's and her partners potion when he spotted that two boys, Potter and Black were talking to the girls. Clearing his throat loudly, he strolled over.
The students had noticed his arrival and the two boys had quickly returned to their own table.
"Now, now, let's see how well you have done. Ah splendid as usual Lily. You and your friend have done a wonderful job, twenty points to Gryffindor, I think."
Lily beamed at him and then at Prue. It was always a nice feeling to have earned house points for Gryffindor.
"Right, now Mr Potter, Black and Lupin, let's have a look at yours shall we?" Slughorn then walked up to their table and peered into their cauldron.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad my boys", he said grinning at them all in turn.
"Maybe if you were paying more attention to the potion than those lovely ladies behind you, you may have gotten further with it", he said with a wink before walking back to the front of the room.
"Right, it's almost the end of the lesson and I think it's clear who our class winners are", he said glancing at Prue and Lily.
"Now it's time for you all to clear away, oh and don't forgot to take a sample of your potions and putting them on my desk."
Prue raised an eyebrow at Slughorns behavoir. He was strange, unlike any teacher she had had before. But she didn´t really mind, as he praised their potion.
James was glad that their potion was 'not bad' and then hurried to get a sample to Slughorns desk before joining his friends again and heading towards the dungeon doors.
So, what do you think? Has it potential? Want to read more?
