Ok, Sorry everyone for the periods between updates I have been busy with schooling, work, and life in general. But I'm trying to get more chapters out as quickly as I can, the chapters are going to be split in half since they are starting to get too long. I dislike doing this but when a chapter is reaching 25,000 to 35,000 words and not even half done it gets too long, so I will be trying it this way to see if I can pump chapters out faster.
Chapter 16
Dead Man Walking
Halliwell Manor
Prue slowly awoke with her arms wrapped around a warm body in front of her, slowly she ran her hands along the person in front of her feeling the soft curves of the feminine body. Opening her eyes she looked at the woman lying in front of her, from the haircut alone she could tell that it was Piper. Thinking back, she remembered bringing Piper to her and Harry's bed after Phoebe went out with Paige for some drinks since Piper wanted a quite night in. Prue could feel the pleasant soreness from her body. Before she could decide whether to wake Piper she felt Harry begin to stir behind her.
Well, a certain part of Harry.
Turning her head she looked over her shoulder to see Harry awake and looking at her with a cocky grin on his face, one that she knew was because of how their night was. Moving carefully as to not wake up her sleeping sister, Prue turned to face him.
"Morning." She said as she leaned in a kissed him.
Kissing her back he moved his hand to her hip, breaking the kiss, "Morning." He said, as he now lay there running his hand up and down her hip.
"What are you doing today?" she asked, as her own hand moved to his abs and chest.
"Nothing at the moment, but I think we should do some training this morning but other than that nothing." He said as his eyes watched his hand trail up and down her side.
"Mmmm," Prue moaned softly as not to wake Piper, as she felt the magic leave Harry's fingers, "Well, it's a Sunday do you think we can just stay in bed instead? I'm sure we can work on our stamina here." she asked, closing her eyes.
"And what type of training do you want to do?" he teased, sending a spark of magic into her hip, getting a louder moan from his twin.
As her head started to roll back she began to feel the familiar feeling of her core moisten, "The same type of training as last night, you, me and Piper fucking each other until we pass out again." She said, knowing that Harry had already agreed to stay in bed with the way her cock throbbed against her thighs.
Having enough of his teasing she pushed him onto his back before following him and straddling his abs, her wet core resting firmly against his stomach while his cock come to rest in between her ass cheeks, her hands resting on his chest and leaning forward as she was looking down at him she saw the same grin on his face again.
"You know, now that you've teased me you're going to have to make it up to me." She said, not bothering to keep quite she no longer cared if she woke up Piper.
Harry smiled as his eyes feasted on Prue's naked body, his left hand coming up to her waist before his right made its way up her stomach and cupped her left magnificent breast, "Oh, do I now?" he asked teasing as he massaged her hip while caressing her breast, getting moans of delight from her.
"Yesss, you're not allowed to leave this bed until we're satisfied now, and after last night you have set the bar high." She said a matching grin on her face.
"Well, in that case, I better get started," he said before lifting her lower body up while leaning forward to take a hard, brown nipple into his mouth.
Before he could impale Prue on his engorged member they both heard a groan coming from beside them, turning to look at the person making the sounds they watched as Piper woke up.
"Don't you two ever rest?" she asked, as she rolled over to face her elder siblings.
Looking at the two, Piper could see that they were about to engage in another intense coupling, "God, after last night how are you even hard again Harry? I know you're fit but come on, I can barely move." She finished with a groan as she rubbed her thighs together feeling the pleasant soreness between them.
Seeing the tired look on her face Harry couldn't help but smirk, seeing the smirk Piper's eyes narrowed in annoyance.
Deciding to take pity on his younger sister he reached over and placing one hand in the middle of her chest he began sending healing magic into her body like he did to Prue early before she woke up. As the magic entered her body Piper's eyes fluttered closed as a soft sigh left her.
Seeing the look, Prue couldn't help but lean forward and kiss Piper softly on the lips, one that Piper returned without hesitation.
As Harry watch, his two sisters kiss he couldn't help but get excited, even after last night. Watching as they broke the kiss and Prue's attention returned to him he looked at her to see she moved her body to continue where the left off before Piper woke up. Before they could begin Piper spoke making them stop at they both knew once they started they weren't stopping until one of them passed out.
"So, where's Phoebe and Paige? And what time did they get home?" she asked, wondering where her lover was, as normally both of them would have joined the three of them already.
Closing his eyes, Harry felt the wards of the house looking where their two youngest sisters were. He frowned when he couldn't feel them. Thinking quickly, he sent his magic out to see if the two were ok, what he found made him not know whether to laugh or be embarrass for them when he felt what they had been doing over the bond.
Looking at Piper, he couldn't stop the smirk that came to his face as he started to tell her where they were and what they were doing, "Well, they didn't come home last night." He said.
Both Prue and Piper frowned, both for different reasons.
"Then where are they?" Piper asked a hint of worry in her voice before Harry cut her off.
"It looks like they had a bit too much to drink last night, don't worry they're fine. They're at Paige's place and the reason why I know they had a bit too much to drink is because they're passed out on the floor of her kitchen." He said, with a chuckle.
"O…k, that's not so bad we did that in college too, so why do you have that smirk?" Prue asked, knowing Harry was leaving something out.
Hearing the question his smirk got bigger, "That's because they passed out naked sharing two dildos between them covered in honey and strawberry jam." He finished, as he started to chuckle at the picture the wards gave him.
Looking at Prue and Piper's red faces, he couldn't help but start laughing, their faces were flickering between embarrassment and lust. Seeing their brother laughing at them, Prue reached down and grabbed his cock roughly while Piper reached around Prue and grabbed his balls in her hand causing him to hiss at the harsh treatment of his pride.
"Now girls, there's no need for that, is there?" he asked, gritting his teeth hoping to avoid injury.
Grinning at the fear shown on his face, Prue answered, "Well, that depends, are you laughing at us or Phoebe and Paige?"
"Arh, I…I wasn't."
They heard the sound of the doorbell echoing through the house.
"I better go and answer that," Harry said, breathing a sigh of relief as an escape route opened for him.
Before he could move, Piper squeezed him tighter, "Send a clone, you're not getting away that easy."
Seeing no way out without sleeping on the proverbial couch, he made a clone and sent it to answer the door.
"Good Little brother, now were you laughing at us or Phoebe and Paige?" Prue asked, smirking as she squeezed his shaft.
"Them, I was laughing at them." He said, sighing when he felt them release him.
Piper pulled her hand from behind Prue and made her way to his ear before whispering, "I will tell them that you found the fact that they passed out funny."
Before he could reply the clone come back in and disappeared, closing his eyes he went through the clone's memories. Opening his eyes he looked at Prue, "You haven't told Andy, I see." He said, more as a statement than a question.
Prue stiffened when she heard Harry's statement, looking at Piper she could see her raised eyebrow questioning her if what he said was true.
"No, I have. Well, I sought of blurted out that I was dating Paige." Hearing this both Harry and Piper started cracking up laughing, "It's not funny." She said, smacking Harry on the chest.
"No, it really is, the fact that Victor thinks that as well makes it even funnier," Harry said as he laughed at Prue's face.
Looking at Piper, Prue could see her trying to hide her laughter as well, crossing her arms she pouted at her brother and sister before smirking, "Well, I could have told them I was fucking my siblings if you wanted?" she said, making Harry and Piper stop laughing before they started to think about the reaction they would have gotten.
For some reason, they didn't seem to care.
"Ok, so he does know, then why was he asking if you were doing anything this Friday?" he asked, confused.
"Maybe he wants a threesome with them," Piper answered.
Hearing that answer Prue watched Harry's eyes narrow.
"Well, it doesn't matter I will be going to dinner with Harry and then he will be taking me to that tropical island he spoke about as a birthday present," Prue said, missing the frown that came Piper's face.
Something that Harry didn't miss.
Seeing things getting away from what they were doing, Harry turned his head and kissed Piper heatedly as Prue watched.
Breaking the kiss Harry looked at Prue, "Don't we have some training to do?" he asked.
Getting a grin for both sisters.

Mrs.Chao's House
The next day
"Give me a break, Mom," Mark Chao pleaded with his mother from outside his mother's house as he held a birthday balloon as she knelt praying by the front door.
She looked up at him and walked quickly toward her son. "*There are a lot of hungry spirits out there, Mark,*" she scolding him in Mandarin.
"You're like the Chinese Shirley MacLaine, you know that?" Mark shot back, a teasing smile on his face showing he was joking.
Mrs. Chao reached out and took Mark's shoulder to make him listen. "*Better safe than sorry,*" she countered, while dusting his shoulder.
Mark rolled his eyes and glanced back at his mother. "I'll risk it," he decided, with a small laugh.
His mother shook her head and looked at him sternly. "You should have more respect for ghosts, Mark. If your grandmother were here…" She said in English making sure he knew she was serious, but before she could finish he cut her off as it was something he heard most of his life.
"She'd warn me about all the evil spirits walking the streets in Chinatown. I know, I know," Mark finished, seeing his disbelief Mrs. Chao ran back to the front door and took the Fu Dog amulet that guarded the front door off the hook.
"You should take this… for protection," she insisted, making her way back to her son and presenting it to him.
Mark sighed not believing in anything his Mother was saying took the amulet and walked back to the front door, not seeing the worried look that passed over her face as she watched him. Placing it back on the hook before turning to her and saying, "Maybe the ghosts need protection from me," he suggested lightly.
Seeing him joking, she let the look fade into a small smile.
Mark walked back down the steps and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "I'll be okay, Mom. I'm twenty-three now. I can take care of myself, okay. I gotta go," he persisted, before handing her his balloon and turning around to leave.
Taking the balloon Mrs. Chao quickly followed after Mark wanting to spend just a bit more time with him on his birthday. "Happy Birthday, Mark," she called after him.
Looking over his shoulder, he gave a quick, "Thanks…" before leaving his Mother on the driveway, not knowing this would be the last time they saw each other alive.
Chinatown
As Mark made his way through the streets of Chinatown on his way to work, people greeted him and he waved in a hello in return, never noticing some men watching him as he took a shortcut down an alleyway. Walking down the alley he looked back as he felt someone following him, slowly turning while still walking backward he watched the men, realizing something was wrong, he turned to make his way out of there as quickly as he could. But before he could fully turn around he caught sight of more men blocking his way, they were following a man in a vest and tie it wasn't long before they were surrounding him.
Backing into a gap between some bins, his head swings side to side to look at the two groups, by this time he was starting to fear for his life.
"Is this the guy?" One of them asked as Mark backed up against the wall.
"That's him," the one in the vest and tie answered as looked at Mark, smiling, "Is today your birthday?" He taunted.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Mark asked carefully, trying to keep the fear from his voice.
"You. Make a wish," the vest wearing man joked before opening his vest and pulling out a gun.
Mark seeing the gun pressed himself against the wall. Without a hint of remorse the man shot Mark in the chest with a single shot, Mark fell to the ground as the men around him laughed. Seconds passed and without the group of men seeing it Mark's spirit slowly rose from his body, slightly confused, he turned and looked down at the body lying there.
Still confused he watched as the man who shot him walked to his body and knelt before taking the ring off his right ring finger and placing on the same finger, "Perfect fit," he observed, before walking away.
"Come on, now douse him." He ordered one of the other thugs.
Mark watched horrified as one of them unscrewed the lid of a fuel can and poured the contents all over his body.
Fully realizing what they were about to do, he stumbled back and couldn't help but stare in disbelief as he watched the man who shot him walk to his body striking a match, "Hey, what are you doing? Hey, wait! Noo!" he screamed trying to stop the leader threw the match onto his body.
As his body was engulfed in flames, he faintly heard them take off down the alley, leaving him to watch in despair as his body burned.

The Halliwell Manor
Across town Piper moved through the kitchen making a grocery list, looking in the fridge, she looked at what it held and for what they needed. Seeing a bottle of wine that Harry had bought for Friday a thought came to her, walking over to a cabinet drawer she opened it and found something she had hoped wouldn't be there.
Prue and Harry's Surprise Birthday Invitations.
With a sigh of irritation she picked them up, closing the drawer sharply she walked back to the table and started filling the envelopes with confetti and the invitations. As she finished the first one she heard the sound of footsteps approaching the kitchen, before she could put them away Phoebe walked in.
"Good Morning," Phoebe called cheerfully as she put her jacket and purse down. Looking at her lover, Phoebe saw the invitations Piper was putting together. "What are you doing? Prue and Harry are coming down!" She hissed, running over to the table so she could hide them before their siblings could see them.
"Phoebe, you were supposed to send these invitations last week. The party is Friday!" Piper demanded, annoyed that they were still here.
"We're right on schedule. The restaurant is reserved, the menu selected, the cake has been ordered…" Phoebe began listing off everything as they quickly hide the invitations back in the drawer as they heard their siblings at the top of the stairs.
"Yeah, that's because I did those things," Piper countered, frustration clearly showing in her voice making Phoebe frowned.
Walking back to the table she asked a question that she didn't know if she was worried about or not, "At least tell me you've going to buy Prue and Harry something other than your traditional birthday gift?"
Phoebe looked at her in confusion. "What's my traditional gift?" Phoebe wondered aloud, appearing a little hurt.
"A card, three days late," Piper answered, seeing the look she could guess what the answer was already.
Phoebe looked anywhere but at Piper as she realized that is what she normally does, quickly recovering she announced, "Yeah, well, I've decided to break that tradition and start a new one," with a teasing grin.
"You brought Prue and Harry a gift?" Piper asked, surprised clearly showing on her face and in her voice.
"Well, I'm buying Prue something, I already have Harry's." she said, with a certain look in her eyes.
Seeing the look Piper couldn't help but say, "Harry's gift better not be me tied to his bed naked and you in lingerie!" she stated.
"What, what makes you think I was going to give him that?" she asked, trying to look innocent.
"I know you, Phoebe, don't forget you told me once you wanted to see the look on his face and what Harry would do." Piper said, a blush spreading across her face as she too wondering what his face would look like, "Besides he can have that anytime he wants." She let slip before she could stop herself.
Hearing that Phoebe couldn't help but grin.
Seeing the grin Piper decided to quickly change the subject, "Where did you get the money to pay for it?" she asked a bit suspiciously.
But before Phoebe could answer Prue walked in the kitchen followed by Harry.
"Morning," she greeted them brightly as she walked to the refrigerator while Harry walked around and stopped behind Piper wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing the side of her neck.
As Piper felt Harry kiss the side of her neck causing her to turn her head towards him, seeing this Harry kissed her softly on lips. Seeing the kiss Phoebe moved around the table and stopped in front of Piper, as Harry broke the kiss Phoebe moved in and kissed him as well. Trapping Piper between them.
"Ahem," the sound of Prue clearing her throat behind Phoebe was the only thing that made her stop. As Phoebe moved away Prue got a good look at Piper's flushed face, when she looked down she could see the reason why as one of Harry's hands had found its way up and was cupping one of her covered breasts, while Piper was holding it there tightly.
"Jeez, didn't the two of you get enough of each other last night/in the morning?" she asked, teasing Piper who looked like she didn't know whether to move out Harry's arms or to jump him right there.
Seeing the look on her face, Phoebe decided to help Piper out by walking up to Prue and saying, "Good morning Prue." Before kissing Prue deeply, while one hand slide around her waist and cupped her arse. Breaking the kiss before Prue could react, Phoebe asked, "Hey, I forgot to ask how your weekend was?"
A red face Prue looked at Phoebe then a smirking Harry and a giggling Piper, seeing the look Prue decided to ignore it, "Great, Harry, Piper and I did some shopping and then we spent most of yesterday training." Prue replied, making sure to temp Phoebe.
"Really, training?" Phoebe asked, looking back at Piper and Harry, only to see his smirk get bigger and Piper's face become redder.
"Yeah, we worked on our cardio. Making sure they could last when it was needed." Harry said, the grin getting bigger as he felt the heat coming off Piper.
"I see," Phoebe said, looking between her siblings, "What type of cardio?"
All see got as her answer was two perverted grins and a giant blush from Piper.
"So Harry, have you decided where we are going this weekend?" Prue asked changing the subject, getting a confused look from Phoebe and a frown from Piper.
"I'm not sure, I want to check the tropical island out first to see if it's there and if it's good we'll go there in not we can just go to the beach on Fraser Island only it's not a private beach," Harry said, wondering if Potter Island had been found in this world.
"So let me get this straight, you, Harry are taking Prue to a tropical island for the weekend?" Phoebe asked, with a frown on her face as she looked between her twin siblings.
"Yeah, we're going out to dinner Friday night before we leave," Prue said smugly.
"And what about us? Are you going to invite me, Piper and Paige?" she asked, her face taking on a sad pouting look. Before Harry could answer Piper sent her a pointed look, it was then that Phoebe remembered the surprise party.
Quickly coming up with something to halt their plans Phoebe insisted, "But wait you can't go this weekend, just to go you're going to need a week to prepare for a weekend away. I mean, there's lingerie and bikini shopping, waxing, manicure, and pedicure. I mean, it's basically a full-time job and you've already got one. So, you'll never be ready, even if you started packing this second," she insisted.
Realizing what they were doing Harry couldn't help but hide his face into the side of Piper's neck so they didn't see him laughing, smothering his laughter and looked at Phoebe while squeezing Piper's waist, "Um, Phoebe if the island is there it's most likely going to be deserted, so I don't think Prue will be wearing any clothes all weekend."
Hearing that Phoebe's face took on an "OH" look, as she realized what their weekend would be like.
Prue looked between Phoebe and Piper suspiciously making them feel that she knew what they were planning.
Phoebe coughed under the scrutiny.
"You guys wouldn't be trying to throw another surprise party for us, are you?" She asked slyly.
"No, never," Piper said, clearly lying, the fact that she could feel Harry's body shaking didn't help her.
Resting her arm on the table and her chin on her fist as Prue looked at her with an "I don't believe you at all" smile, Phoebe made sure to look her in the eye as she lied to Prue casually, "No, we've given up on trying to surprise you, Prue."
Harry couldn't help but laugh as Phoebe and Prue looked at him, "Sorry, just the idea of you trying to plan a surprise party is funny."
"Really, why is it funny?" Piper asked, turning her head to look at him.
"Just that the last party you planned, Phoebe forgot to send out the invites." He said, looking a Phoebe his eyes holding laughter.
Phoebe couldn't help but look at him as if he just kicked her puppy, out of the corner of his eye he saw Piper's hand twitch and had to bit the side of his cheek to stop laughing again.
Prue nodded slightly, "Good because you all know how much I hate surprises," she pointed out. An all-knowing look was in her eyes as she looked at her sister, with that she turned with the bottle of orange juice in her hand and made her way out of the kitchen. As she got to the door she looked back at Harry and said, "You going to be last tonight?"
Shaking his head, "No, I've started cutting back on my shifts as one of the guys has asked for more work since his is about to finish classes and wants to work nights."
"All right, I will see you for lunch then?" Prue said, getting a nod from her twin, as she left she gave Piper and Phoebe one more "you better not" look, before leaving.
No one said anything until they heard the front door close, chuckling, "You do know the minute anyone enters the house I will know?" Phoebe just gave him a look like she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar, not being able to see Piper's face he still felt her body tense. "Tell you what, if you get everything ready I will make sure Prue is preoccupied so she doesn't find out and I will make up an excuse why we have to go on Saturday morning instead since I know how much you want to surprise us, Piper."
Hearing this Piper turned around in his arms resting her hands on his chest and looked up at him, "But Harry, this was supposed to be your party as well." She stated, upset that she won't be able to surprise him.
Seeing the look he leant down and kissed her softly again, before pulling back, "I know Piper, but you know I would rather spend the night with just my girls than with a lot of other people."
Hearing that Piper couldn't help but feel her heart beat harder in her chest, looking at him again she reached up and pulled his head down and kissed his lips softly. Slowly she put a bit more force into the kiss before running her tongue over his lips asking for entry. Opening his mouth Harry felt her tongue dart in and caress his before his slipped his tongue past her lips.
Breaking the kiss as he felt another body press up against his back, turning his head he saw Phoebe giving him the same look Piper was giving him. Giving her a smile in return, before she kissed him just as sweetly as Piper did. Taking one arm away from Piper he pulled Phoebe into him as the kiss got little more heated, as Phoebe pulled back breathing heavily he pulled both of his sisters to him their heads resting on his shoulders.
Harry looked at Phoebe before asking, "So, didn't send out the invites again I take it?" Phoebe just looked away as Piper started to giggle.
"Hmph, well since you two are going to tease me I'll be going since I want to buy Prue a present, I have an interview," Phoebe said, as she moved out of Harry's arm and moved around the kitchen towards her jacket and purse before leaving the kitchen.
"What about my present?" he called out after her.
"I already have yours." She answered before they heard the front door close.
"Stupid question, but why isn't she using the money I got back for her from New York or even the money she is allowed to use from her trust fund?" he asked Piper who hadn't moved out of his arms.
"To be honest, I think she's forgotten about it, that or she wants to make her own way again like we are doing," Piper said, getting a nod from Harry.
"Come on, I'll help you send the invites." He said, letting go of Piper and moving to the drawer where the invitations were showing Piper he had already found them.

The Hotel Neptune
Phoebe walked around following the Neptune Hotel's manager through the crowded lobby as he took a few moments to give her a quick tour during the interview.
"No other hotels do psychic readings at the bar. It's kind of a trademark," he explained to her as he led her to the area where the hotel psychic works.
"Well, that's why I'm here. I saw your ad in the Chronicle. I'm a natural born psychic," Phoebe replied, sounding excited.
The manager stopped and looked back at her in disbelief. "Yeah, right. What's your act? Tea leaves, tarot cards, crystal balls, what?" The manager asked while Phoebe looked up at him a little flustered.
"No, I can see the future. I mean, I can't always see it, I never actually know when it's gonna work. Usually when I touch someone or am in the general area as them. It's kinda hard to explain," she offered carefully.
The manager looked at Phoebe as if she was crazy or an idiot for a few moments before looking up at another person who was ready for their interview. "Next!" He called, moving away from Phoebe.
"No, wait! Frankie" She pleaded, as he passed her she grabbing hold of his arm to keep him from walking away.
Surprisingly a premonition came to her making and the man stop and pause, listening. "I see it… you're having dinner with a blonde woman, she's gorgeous, all over you. Then some red-head shows up. You look surprised. Ooh… she looks pissed. Your wife?" Phoebe narrated what she saw.
Frankie turned around, regarding her in a different light. "When can you start?" He asked.

Caribbean
Harry was in the apartment in the training room getting ready to start looking for what was Potter Island in his world, he wasn't sure if it was there so he needed a way to find it if it wasn't. Walking around the room, he picked up what he thought he might need. The first thing he had was a branch about 30cm long from The Eternal Spring, he got it when he was visiting the Nymphs while they helping him with his sexual needs after Penny had found out about him and Prue, the branch was full of magic so could be used to point the way, the next thing was a simple life raft, so he had somewhere to sit when he was searching and a small bag with some food and water.
The plan was quite simple, fade to where he thought Potter Island was, then go from there. He had a fair bit of time before he had to meet Prue for lunch.
Picking the raft and his bag, he quickly turned invisible and fading away to find his island.
High up in the air above the ocean, an invisible Harry faded in, within seconds he started to free-fall. He had faded this high to give himself some room to see if the island was there and if not he could fade down to the water. As the air rushed past him he couldn't help but smile as the wind hit his face, this was one of the things he missed about his old world. The rush and weightlessness he felt while diving down to catch the snitch on a broom during a Quidditch match. Yes, he could fly anytime he wanted in his eagle form but there was just a thrill of flying around at speeds nearly 200 miles an hour like a bat out of hell.
A childish "Whoop," left his mouth as he dove straight down towards the water.
Deciding that he had his fun as the ocean water rushed up to meet him, he pulled the cord on the inflatable raft and faded 10 meters above the water with the raft under him. Just as he was about to hit the water the raft was fully inflated and with a thud, he landed heavily but safely inside it.
Panting as he caught his breath, he looked up to where he fell from and couldn't help but smile, "Man, what a rush, I am so doing that again maybe next time I'll bring one of the girls." Stopping and thinking about their reaction he couldn't help but laugh, "Ok maybe not, I don't want my bedroom privileges taken away."
Taking his first real look around, he couldn't help but let out a smile, yeah, sure he wasn't on the island but the feel of the hot sun beating down on him alone with the light wind blowing over him was just like he remembered. A sad smile came to his face as he remembered the times he spent on Fraser Island with his lost lovers, and the last sight of a pregnant Daphne running in the water in only bikini bottom brought a tear to his eyes. For a second he sat there thinking about his lovers, he missed them more than anything. But he would never give up his mother and sisters, but there will always be a part of him that desires to return to their arms.
Sitting in silence for a minute or two, he stood up quickly wiping the tear away, he knew there was no going back, only forward. The desire would always be there but he was happy with the life he had now. Looking around he took in the clear blue sky for a second before reaching down and picking up the branch, holding it flat in his hand and cast a spell that he hadn't done in so long. A spell he learned with his bushy haired lover.
"Point-me Potter Island." He spoke clearly picturing the island in his head.
As he finished he knew it would work, even if it wasn't named Potter Island since he knew what he was looking for. He knew that he could easily take the girls to Fraser Island but the place that he visited with his family was a private beach there, here, when he went and checked it was just a stretch of beach that was open to everyone. So he decided he would find Potter Island and see if that was discovered. If not, he would sneak into whatever government held ownership of it and either buy it from them or just put it under Fidelius Charm.
As the branch spun in his hand, he watched and waited, soon it came to a spot pointing North-East. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smirk. Quickly putting the branch inside the bag, he then cast an impervious charm on the raft making it so his talons wouldn't puncher the raft. Then picking the bag up and shrinking it and putting into his pocket, when that was done he jumped into the air and shifted into his Animagus form. His legs shifted into the legs of a lion while his upper body took the form of a golden eagle, but instead of shrinking it matched the size of the lion's legs. Overall he was bigger than a horse and sporting dark golden eagle feathers as well as a golden fur of a lion on his lower half.
With a mighty screech and a powerful flap of his wing, a pure griffin was once again in the air of the mortal realm.
Gliding down, he slowly slipped his talons into the ropes on the raft carefully as not to hit the raft as he didn't know if his claws would puncher the raft even with the charm. Once he had the raft he flapped his wings again and headed North-East towards the island.
With every flap of his wings, joy filled him at the freedom he felt. He hoped that he would be able to teach the girl how to take on their animal form as he felt they would love the feeling of being an animal. Slowly as he made his way towards the island, he thought about what they would be doing on the island. Before he could become too focused on the girls as he knew where his thoughts would take him, he thought about the island itself.
It wasn't a very big island as he could walk around it in under two hours but it had small freshwater stream and plenty of shade. If it was there and no one had claimed it, he would build a large cabin for him and the girls. Thinking about the island he couldn't help but laugh that came out as a screech about how his family came into ownership of the island.
In the early 18th Century, The Lord Jack Potter of the time had gotten fed up with the fighting in the wizarding world and wanted out, so he and his best friend at the time the Lord Hector Black decided to leave the headship to their son's and run away. The Potter journal of that Lord's son believes they just ran away from their wives to have an adventure. At the time the two were friends with Nicolas Flamel and after telling him what they were doing, he decided to help them as he thought it was hilarious and gave them some Elixir of Life.
So being young again, they changed their names so no one could find them and came out to the Caribbean to have an adventure, the Potter Lord came into possession of a ship and they decided to become Pirates as a joke. After a couple of years or so, the Jack Potter's first mate the Hector Black betrayed him and lead a mutiny and stole the ship before stranding him on an island. Which would later become Potter Island.
The Potter Lord furious with the Black Lord and hunted him down and retook his ship by killing the Black Lord for his betrayal. Later, the Black Lord was brought back to life and they had many adventures before both of them eventually died. Before he died the Potter Lord cast a spell to claim the island and when he died he passed it onto his family.
Here in this world when he was about 14, he went looking for the wizarding world try to see if there was any connection, he looked into the magical parts first and found traces of witches and wizards but not like in his world. So he looked in the mortal world he found some references to old family names like the Potters, Blacks, Bones, McGonagall, and even the Malfoys but they seemed to have no apparent ties to magic. Since none of the families currently existed he couldn't verify whether they were magical or not. They were mentioned a lot around the 14 Century and were regarded as noble families, but later, all of them disappeared suddenly. The history of the Potter family was different from the others as they would show up every now and then during the same period before fully disappearing before the other families, but he could never find out what happened to them.
It was like someone had destroyed the wizarding world as he knew it along with all its traces. He later found out that the 'source of evil' was responsible for the destruction of the wizarding world.
What Harry didn't know was that if he had tried to look a little harder at the Potter family then he might found something very surprising.
Hours passed and Harry was getting tired, he had stopped twice to rest and make sure he was heading the right way all the while keeping a watch on the time otherwise he would miss lunch with Prue. He was surprised how long it was taking as he thought he was rather close when he faded in, but it appears he wasn't. Still, could see a speck getting closer, he could make out the change in the ocean as he got closer to the speck. Soon he was able to see were the ocean turned into a reef and the white beaches of the island.
With a cry of happiness, the griffin flew towards the island. Soon he went into a dive, as he got closer to the ground he dropped the raft and glided over the island looking at it. It looked the same here as it did in his old world, but the thing that made Harry happy was no sign of life bar birds, fish, and other animals could be seen. Now, he only needed to find out if anything else had been here.
Landing his claws and paws buried deep into the sand before he started running. Soon he came to a stop and began shifting back into his human form, once he was finished he walked around for a few minutes to calm down. 10 to 15 minutes passed before Harry felt somewhat rested, he knew that he wanted to look around but he needed to know who or what was the last thing on the island.
He thought about this as he was making his way to the island before he saw it, he didn't know if he should he cast a spell to call the spirit of the last person here or go and find out if anyone had staked a claim to the island. But if he did that it wouldn't tell him if there had been a demon here unless the ghost died because of one. He could cast a spell that revived what the last being on the island was but he didn't know if it would show demons as it was a spell from his world. Deciding that it would be the best idea to use it as it would at least show what they looked like so he could try and guess what year they were from by the way the dressed.
Slowly casting the spell he watched as the smoky outline of a person appeared before him, looking at them he could see that they were dressed in18th Century clothing and if he had to guess he was either a pirate or a smuggler. Seeing this he let the spell go and watched the man fade.
Harry stood there for a minute and decided what to do next, he had found the island and now knew that no one had been here since the 18th Century, now he had to choose what to do. Should he see what government owned the island or should he just cast a ward around it to make people forget about it? It would be easier and the fact that no one had been here meant the chances of someone coming to look for it was slim.
"What do you think?" he asked in his head.
Nothing was heard for a second before a soft voice was heard, "Just cast the spell, no one owns the island so you are free to do what you want and it's in international waters."
"Thanks, mom." He said, taking out his bag and removing 7 stones from it.
"I thought you would have taken Prue and then your sisters to Fraser Island later?" she asked, as she appeared in front of him.
Smiling at her he started to strip down, when he was naked he stood in front of his mother not bothering to cover up as her eyes roamed over his body and she licked her lips.
Smirking he faded out above the ocean past the reef, soon he hit the water and cast a predator-repelling spell to keep the sharks away, "I thought about it, but decided not to as it wasn't private and I want this to be a place we can come whenever we need a break. Fraser Island was one of the getaways we used when I was Harry Potter, but now I'm Harry Halliwell I want this to be the place we can all come to. So that I won't constantly be reminded that I will never see them again and never see my children grow." He finished as he launched the stone deep into the sand with Telekinesis until it hit solid rock.
Hearing her son talk about his old life was something that he never did, she knew he missed them but she also knew that he loved it here and loved her and his sisters. She herself was upset that she never got to see his kids grow or as she had come to see them as her grandchildren. She had been able to ask Death about the chance to see them but he only responded that they weren't part this universe and that the chances of having any contact with them was extremely limited unless she wanted the Elders and the other Angels of Destiny to find out about him. That was around the time he was 17, she hadn't asked since as she knew what the answer would be.
As she finished her thoughts, Harry faded in front of her again, but this time dripping wet. She licked her lips again and gave him a wicked smile before walking up and wrapping her arms around his neck and one of her legs around his own while pressing her body hard into his.
Looking him in the eye she kissed him softly, pulling back she asked, "Are you ok?"
As his arms came around her waist he spoke, "I am, just sometimes things remind me of them. This is one of those things, but I have a loving family now and in time maybe children that I will get to raise. Something I know you are looking forward to watching them grow as well?"
Kissing him again she answered, "Yes, I am, I can't wait to watch my children give birth to their own children and I know that they well all have their father beautiful emerald green eyes." She finished as one of her hands sunk down and wrapped around his hardening cock.
"Yes, and if I had my way, you would already be carrying my first. I wonder what Grams would say if she knew you, her daughter wants to carry her own son's child?" Harry asked kissing the side of her neck.
"Ohh, you don't have to worry about it, I have already told her that if I was alive I would have fucked you until you gave me a child when you were 14. She looked scandalous, but more than a few of the Warren witches looked interested in the idea, you already know some of those witches are lusting after you." Patty said stroking her son's rigid erection.
"You mean someone other than..." Harry tried to ask but was cut off with a kiss by Patty.
Breaking the kiss Harry gave her a look asking why she stopped him, "Yes, Harry someone other than her, there are more Warren witches waiting for you to join them as they have been watching you with great enthusiasm and because of that I can't wait to see what happens the moment you arrive there. I can see more than one of the women wanting you to fuck them." She finished as she cupped his balls.
Harry's eyes took on a lustful glint at hearing that and what she was doing to him, but before he could do anything Patty tilted her head to the side and stepped back, "I think you have something to finish and I have somewhere to be, but don't worry, I'll be back later to help you with that." And with that she quickly left, leaving Harry standing there dripping wet and his cock hard as a rock.
When he realized what just happened again, he couldn't help but growl through their mental link, "What the hell mom, you can't bloody leave me standing here like this again." All he got was a giggle as his answer, "You know the next time I see you I won't care where we are I will rip your clothes off and fuck you until you can't move."
"I look forward to it," she answered in a husky voice.
'Bloody tease, I can't believe she did that, again.' He muttered as he walked towards the center of the island. When he got there he reached out with his senses to see if he was in the center of the stones, seeing that he was, he flicked his wrist making the ground in front of him explode until a hole 5 meters deep was created. Dropping into the hole, he placed the stone down and cut his hand, covering the stone in his blood he quickly started casting wards over the island.
He made it avoided by all, meaning that if a boat or ship came by it would miss the island and the reef by miles, he also cast something like a notice-me-not ward that made it so people would forget about the island on any map. The other wards were the same as the training room making it so no one could watch them unless they were family, when he was finished he was panting. He didn't think it would be that hard to do as no one had been to the island in a long time, but he didn't know that it was charted and the wards made them forget about it other than to avoid it.
Groaning, he climbed out of the hole and refilled the hole with sand and stone before making it that no one would ever notice that a hole was there. Slowly looking around he decided to have some food before he went back home to meet Prue for lunch, hopeful he could get his strength back and maybe even be able to summon his mother to make her make it up to him for her teasing.
Walking to the end of the beach Harry didn't bother getting dressed knowing he was being watched, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you all watching?" all he got was more than one giggle.
Shaking his head, he stopped and looked at a tree that had a peculiar knot in it. Seeing the knot Harry couldn't help but grin, walking up to the tree, he knocked on it with his ear pressed on to the tree. Hearing a hollow sound, he laughed and started taking long steps, when he reached four, he stopped and jumped up and down softly. Surprisingly the ground bounced with him, seeing this, he couldn't stop the grin from becoming bigger. Bending down, he opened a trapdoor, looking inside he spotted some stairs, climbing down them, he found something that made him shake his head.
Walking back up the stairs he closed the door then headed for the beach. When he got there he conjured a padded lounge chair and pulled out some food, then reaching down he picked up an old bottle full of liquid, he bit the cork and pulled it out before spitting it onto the sand. Taking a small whiff, he couldn't help but grin and think that his ancestor was watching him from somewhere, but he always wondered why the name Jack Sparrow.
Humming a certain tune, "Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!" he said, before throwing his head back and taking a drink of rum.

Buckland's Auction House/Halliwell Manor
"So have he heard back from Harry about the island yet?" Piper asked Prue over the phone as Prue looked over a painting.
"No, not yet. He said that he knows the general area of where is was located but not the exact location and he does what to try fading there in case there are people on it or if it's not there at all." She said as she put the painting down and walked around her desk.
Piper gave a slight nod on the other line though she knew Prue couldn't see knowing that their brother was being careful, "So, you looking forward to going?" she asked a small grin making its way onto her face as she cleaned the kitchen.
"Yes, a weekend on a tropical island away from the hustle and bustle of the city, what do you think?" she asked excitedly about going.
"Sounds fun, bet you're looking forward to swimming with Harry in the ocean with no one to bother you?" she asked a slight teasing tone in her voice.
Smiling into the phone Prue answered, "I am, maybe after this, we can all go for a weekend of nothing but swimming and sunbaking."
"Yeah, I think the other two will like that. Just us swimming in the ocean and tanning on the beach." Piper said thinking about a weekend like that.
"Don't forget the sex that will be happening while we are all there running around naked all the time," Prue said her voice turning a bit husky.
Blushing a bit at the thought what would happen with them not wearing anything the whole time, "Speaking of the others, you should know that Phoebe bought you a present and she really wants to give it to you Friday night," she explained carefully. "I know Harry would say yes if any of us asked, but I would rather you ask him as it's your weekend."
Prue sat up in her chair suspiciously. "Phoebe doesn't give presents. She gives cards, three days late," Prue countered, as she took the glasses from her head.
Walking around the kitchen Piper smiled at what Phoebe told them this morning, "Not this year, surprise!" She announced pleasantly as she played with her hair, "and she really wants to give it to you Friday so could you please just ask Harry to leave on Saturday instead? You have no idea how much Phoebe has put herself through. She even…" she paused when she saw the paper lying on the bench, picking it up, she saw an ad circled. 'Psychic's wanted' she froze for a moment, "She even got a job and everything."
Hearing Piper freeze Prue wondered what she found, but knowing her sister she wouldn't tell unless she had to, knowing that if Piper was asking her to stay one night it meant something to her and as Piper doesn't ask for much from them she decided to agree so she didn't disappoint her loving sister, "Okay, I'll ask. I know he won't mind but you will owe me one and I will collect." Prue said with a playful grin not that Piper could see.
"Thanks," Piper answered trying not to let Prue know that Piper was up to something, "What did you have in mind?"
"Oh, you see when the time comes, so what kind of job did Phoebe get?" She wondered.
Piper, realizing that she better go and find Phoebe before she exposed all of them, "Don't know. Gotta go, Ciao," she quickly finished the call a bit rudely while hanging up quickly. Piper glanced down at the 'Psychic's wanted' ad shaking her head in disbelief, turning she made her way out of the kitchen and headed to the door intent on stopping her lover.

The Hotel Neptune
Phoebe sat near the bar at a small table with a jar with tips in it, she was dressed in a bright pink outfit that looked to be from 'I Dream of Jeannie'. Across from her another woman sat with her hands laid palm-up in Phoebe's as she tried to get a premonition. Her eyes were closed in concentration as she spoke what she saw. Unknown to her the woman was giving Phoebe a look like she didn't believe that she could see the future.
"You're in a large room with lots of other people. Lots of other women," she began slowly.
"Go on," the woman prompted.
"You're standing on a podium, no wait; you're on a scale…" Phoebe elaborated and then fell into a fit of giggles while the woman's smile fell to an embarrassed frown. "It's a weight watchers meeting…. Ooh, honey, it looks like you've gained some weight," she finished sympathetically.
The woman's eyes flashed and she stood up abruptly. "That's impossible. I only cheated once this week," she snapped angrily as she grabbed her bags.
Phoebe frowned slightly and stood up as well. "No, no. I'm not judging, I'm just seeing," she explained quickly.
"You're a fraud. That's what you are. I've never been so insulted in my life. I want my twenty dollars back," said the upset woman as she reached for the jar of money that was placed on the table between them.
Seeing this Phoebe, quickly grabbed the jar before her. "No way. I saw you. You know I saw you." She argued back, pointing her finger accusingly back at the woman.
The woman was surprised that phoebe stopped her, then still looking irritated turned and walked away in a huff. "Hey, you want me to lie next time? Just say so!" Phoebe yelled after. As she was calling out to the woman she didn't see Piper walk in until she turned and saw Piper standing just in front of her, looking at her in disbelief.
"Phoebe…" Piper scolded, glancing over her younger sister's attire.
Phoebe's eyes widened and she had the look of someone being caught with their hand in the cookie jar. "Piper…" She greeted guiltily, setting the money jar back down on the table. "I am so busted, aren't I?" Phoebe laughed nervously.
Piper was still in disbelief of what her sister and lover were doing. "Are you out of your mind again?" Piper demanded, causing Phoebe to try and explain herself.
"No… I'm the amazing Phoebe," she quoted, pointing toward the sign that said exactly that.
"This is not funny. Our powers are supposed to be a secret, not a marketable job skill," Piper said trying to remind her that she was supposed to hide her powers.
"Relax; they didn't hire me because they think I'm a witch. They hired me because they think I'm a psychic," Phoebe replied as if it explained everything.
"Hair splitting. You know you've been told you can't use your powers for personal gain. Not without consequences," Piper lectured.
Phoebe shook her head still trying to make Piper see that she isn't doing anything wrong. "No, it's for Prue and Harry, not for me. It's to pay for Prue's present and maybe add something to Harry's, it's completely selfless. Besides, this is the last place anyone would expect to find a real psychic, believe me," she soothed her older sister.
"Don't bring them into this, you know as well as I do that Harry has told you not to force your powers and besides you already have money why didn't you just use that?" Piper asked, realizing that Phoebe won't listen to her right now.
Looking away she muttered just loud enough for Piper to hear, "If I used that money it feels like I will always have to rely on Harry to get me out of trouble so I want to do this on my own."
Hearing this Piper had to fight the urge to hug her younger sister, she knew what Phoebe was talking about. But Phoebe needed to realize that Harry only helped them stand when they fell and only after they couldn't fix their own mistakes like a brother and lover would, but to a free spirit like Phoebe, she could only see him cleaning up her messes. That didn't mean Phoebe was angry or upset with Harry only that she wanted to try and stand on her own, but doing that comes with its own problems, "And what happens if someone really comes looking for a real psychic?"
Behind them, the spirit of Mark came running in, "Which one of you is the psychic?" he questioned hurriedly.
Piper knew she just jinxed herself as pointed over at Phoebe, "She is…" she muttered in disapproval.
"Oh, I am," Phoebe agreed, holding her hand up in the air.
Mark grinned hopefully while glancing between the two sisters in surprise. "You can see me? Both of you?" he asked.
Piper stared at him as if he was crazy. "Of course, we can see you, now back off," Piper hissed hoping she really didn't just jinx herself, waving her hand at him pointedly while Phoebe just looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"Oh, thank God. I've tried communicating with every psychic in the city. You were my last chance," Mark exclaimed in relief, ignoring Piper's attitude.
Before anyone can talk Frankie walked up to join the group looking frustrated. "Phoebe, what are you doing?" he demanded with a glare at Piper. "We've got customers waiting."
Phoebe started to reply but was cut off as Mark addressed her and Piper. "Okay, listen to me. You're the only ones that can help me," Mark insisted.
Piper glared at him. "Excuse me, we are trying to have an argument here," she snapped back at him.
Frankie glanced beside him to where Piper appeared to be looking at Mark. No seeing anyone there he looked back at Piper wondering if she was nuts. "Who are you?" he asked quickly and Phoebe forced a laugh.
"Uh… she's just leaving," she stuttered and reached to tap Piper on the shoulder. "Bye, go, now," Phoebe ordered and Piper shook her head and threw her hands in the air as she turned to walk away.
Mark glanced from Phoebe then to Piper not sure what to do, but as he saw Piper start to walk off he quickly started to follow her. "Wait, I need your help," he pleaded.
Piper didn't listen she just kept walking but took one last shot at Phoebe on her way outside, "Yeah, talk to the psychic."
As Piper and Mark walked down the front stairs of the hotel Mark tried to get Piper's help, "Please, I'm begging you. I was murdered, I can prove it," he continued desperately.
"Stop harassing me, buddy," Piper snapped throwing her hand out pointedly and continuing to otherwise ignore him, not seeing someone look at her weirdly.
Mark walked beside Piper, still trying to get her to believe him, "Please, I'm desperate. You gotta help me."
Piper glanced at him while going through her bag for her car keys, "Leave me alone or I'll call the police," she threatened and before looking at a passing lady on the street. "Can you believe this guy?" She asked pointing over at Mark. As she kept walking she missed the lady stopping and looking at her in confusion as the woman couldn't see Mark.
"All you have to do is come to Chinatown and see for yourself," Mark insisted, finally causing Piper to spin to look at him.
"Alright, that's it. Look, either back off or… Look out!" she shouted as a man riding a bike was about to hit Mark, but as Mark spins to look at the man in fright, but the rider rode straight through him. Seeing this Piper's mouth dropped open in disbelief and Mark looked back at her sadly.
"Now do you believe me?" he questioned.
"Oh my God. I can see you, but no one else can?" she asked as she looked around in disbelief.
"I'm dead. I'm a ghost," Mark explained to the stunned Piper.

Quake
Prue walked through the busy crowd, looking for Harry. As she got to the bar she saw him leaning on it looking at something on the other side of the room, as she reached him she lay her hand on his hip softly so no one could see.
Feeling the hand Harry turned to meet his smiling sister, returning the smile he greeted her, "Hey."
"Hey, how did the morning go?" she asked, with a hopeful look.
Knowing what she was asking he smiled in return, "Found it, I had to look for a while but I found it in the end. I checked and there hadn't been anyone on the island since the 18th Century."
Hearing that Prue couldn't help but smile at the idea of having an island all to themselves, as she went to ask more about the island, she spotted Andy in the restaurant. It didn't surprise her that he was here, what did surprise her was that he was at the very back of the restaurant sitting with a woman who had to be around the same age as them. Prue glanced at them curiously
Before looking at Harry to see a frown on his face, "Harry?"
"Sorry Prue, I came in earlier and saw them, I didn't think anything of it until they started to get a bit touchy feely." He said.
Looking at them again seeing what Harry was saying, she wasn't surprised that she felt nothing seeing Andy with the woman, "I don't see what the problem is, if he's with her that's good, it means he won't bother me for a date anymore." She said, with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Oh, I know that it's just that he was sniffing around you while he was so close to this one." He answered Prue unasked question.
Looking back at them again she pressed her lips together, "Mmm, then let's find out who she is then." She said before she made their way over to them until Andy looked up and saw them.
"Hi…" Prue greeted, glancing toward the woman and back at Andy.
"Prue, Harry" Andy greeted cheerfully as he stood, surprise showing on his face.
"Harry and I just came for some lunch and spotted you and thought we would say hi," she explained and then glanced at the woman again. "Hi," she offered so as not to appear rude.
"Hi," the woman greeted. An awkward silence fell between the four for a moment in which Prue looked over at Andy, hinting for an introduction or explanation, while Harry just watched.
He seemed to get the idea as he stood up to introduce them to each other. "Oh, Prue, Harry, this is um…" Andy began, but the woman beat him to it.
"Susan, Susan Trudeau. Nice to meet you, pleasure," she finished politely shaking Prue's hand.
Prue raised an eyebrow in confusion and suspicion. "Trudeau? Sister?" Prue asked she knew Andy hadn't grown up with a sister but that didn't mean there wasn't one, after all, look at them and Paige.
"No… actually…" Andy again started to answer uncertainly.
Before he could answer Susan beat him to it.
"Wife," she corrected, making Prue and Harry work hard to keep the surprise off their faces.
"Ex-wife," Andy corrected as he watched the twins carefully. He knew that they wouldn't care about him being married but more about him trying to date Prue while he was still married.
Prue looked at Andy with a small smile, "Ah, sorry to hear that. Are you trying to rekindle?"
"Here, have a seat." Susan offered, when they sat down Susan continued, "No, we are just friends that catch from time to time but…we tried marriage and it just wasn't there so we knew it was better to end it as friends." She finished.
"I'm surprised, normal exes don't get on. I remember that from my parents." Harry said looking at Andy while giving him a nod as it wasn't an easy thing to keep friendly with an ex.
Andy looked at Harry, "We split when we both knew it wasn't working and instead of just trying to stay together and slowly coming to hate each other, we sat down and decided to go our separate ways on good terms." He finished.
"Smart," Prue said.
Wanting to change the subject Susan asked, "So how long have you been married?"
As she asked this, Andy who had taken a drink started having a coughing fit, while Harry and Prue just looked stunned at how sure she was about them being together.
Once he finished coughing Andy quickly corrected her, "Arh, Susan, their twins." He said trying not to laugh as it was an old joke from high school how they acted like a married couple.
"Oh, I'm sorry… I just thought…with how close you looked that you were married." She apologized, thinking it would upset them.
Harry and Prue sat there with smiles on their faces pretending that it was an old joke they had heard before.
"That's fine, we heard it all through school that we acted like we were married or dating, after a while, we got used to it," Harry said, trying to reassure her it was ok.
"Yeah, they copped it a lot back then," Andy said with a smile, "It didn't help that they would always glare at the other's dates most of the time. Not to mention the girls in school couldn't go near Harry without Prue sending daggers at them." He finished with a laugh, only to stop when he saw the daggers Prue was giving him now.
Seeing the look, Susan tried not to laugh at her ex, but she didn't say anything as she was sure she saw Prue touch her brother intimately earlier.
"Yes, well, Prue is dating someone now…." Andy said before he tried off as he realized what he was about to say.
"Oh, really, what's he like?" she asked, always ready for some gossip even if she didn't know her.
"She, what she is like?" Harry corrected, this time, knowing it would make Andy uncomfortable while trying not to snicker.
"Ohh, arh, sorry." She apologized again.
Shaking her head trying to keep the blush off her face as she knew Harry was going to tell the others and they were going to tease her about it, "No, that's ok. Since Andy brought it up. Yes, I am dating a woman and it's easy to say she is lively." She finished, turning to Harry she saw his snickering and shot him a glare again, "And since Harry is acting like a child and I am due back at work soon we might leave you both to it and have our own lunch."
"Oh, Ok, sorry about..." She tried to apologize again.
"That's ok, Prue gets teased by our sisters from time to time but I was laughing more that Andy hasn't lost the ability to put his foot in his mouth." Harry said, looking at Andy who was still looking uncomfortable, "Anyway, we better get our lunch before Prue has to leave."
"Alright, well it was nice meeting you both," Susan said as she stood with them shaking their hands.
Prue gave her a soft smile while shaking her hand after she shook Harry's, "Yeah, you too."
Leaving the table they walked up to the bar and ordered before quickly finding a seat that had no one near them, as Harry sat, Prue asked, "Can you make it so no one sees anything but us talking while we wait?"
Nodding his head and waving his hand, Harry did what she asked, then after giving her a nod she sat in his lap and kissed him hard on the lips. As their tongues dueled Harry's hand moved down and cupped her arse and giving it a hard squeeze making Prue moan into his mouth, once they broke the kiss, Harry rested his forehead against hers.
"Well, that was awkward," Prue stated, getting a small laugh from Harry.
"I think it was a more awkward for Andy having the woman he was married to talking to the woman he has feelings for, all while her brother was there watching." He said before smiling, "Or should I say, husband?"
Hearing the husband remark made Prue blush, which made Harry smirk. Seeing the smirk Prue decided to try and turn it back on him, "Well, I don't mind being seen as your wife as long as you don't?"
Without a second thought, Harry answered, "I don't either, to be honest. If I had the chance I would have the five of you as my wives tomorrow."
Prue's face took on a look of shock before slowly morphing into a beaming smile, leaning forward, she kissed Harry again. The kiss was deep and sensual with more than a hint of lust, the idea of being his wife was something that she would love to become and she knew her sisters wanted to as well. Yes, they were each other's lovers but Harry was what kept them together. To them, he already was their husband.
Breaking the kiss Prue asked, "Did you find the island?"
"Yeah, it was there and it's all ours." He answered with a smile only to be kissed again.
Before they could go too far they were stopped by the waiter asking whose meal was whose.
"Mine's the steak," Harry answered as Prue wouldn't be able to without breaking the charm.
As the waiter left, Prue gave Harry one last peck on the lips before moving to her seat, once she was sitting Harry dropped the charm and started cutting his food.
"So, we are all set for the weekend then?" she asked.
"Yep, all ready to go."
Smiling Prue gave Harry a saucy look, "So a weekend on a deserted beach just the two of us and no clothing allowed." Giving him a smirk she continued, "I can't wait."
"Me neither," Harry answered.
As they started eating Prue couldn't help but asked, "Harry," she waited for him to look at her, "Why do you taste like rum?"

Mark led Piper down the alley in Chinatown where he had been killed. "Thanks for helping me," Mark told her gratefully as they left the crowded street of Chinatown. The sun was just beginning to set casting shadows all around them.
"When you didn't leave my doorstep, you didn't leave me much of a choice…. Maybe this isn't such a good idea for me to be going down here by myself, I might call my brother and wait until he gets here." Piper remarked as she glanced at the shadows nervously. She knew she should have called Harry or one of her sisters but because she was still a bit angry at Phoebe, so she wouldn't ring her, and Prue and Paige were most likely busy.
Thinking about what Mark had told her, it would be best to ring her brother, the fact that the further down the dark alley, she went she could hear noises. It didn't help that she was going to find a dead body of a murder victim.
"Please, I don't have much time. Somebody has to find my body before it's too late," Mark insisted and Piper reluctantly followed him farther in.
"Too late for what?" she asked nervously not liking that a dead man was afraid.
"It's a Chinese myth. At least, I always thought it was a myth. It's called Da Jui. When the gates of Hell open up. We're almost there," he began to explain.
Piper suddenly looked at him her face going pale. "The gates of Hell? I don't understand," Piper whispered, listening closely.
"If the gatekeeper, Yama, catches my soul before my body's properly buried, he'll take me to Hell. Forever," Mark explains to Piper his real fear.
"But you said you were murdered. How can he…?" she started, appearing confused.
"Yama doesn't care about good or evil. He just wants souls. I should've listened to my mother," he lamely shaking his head.
Piper looked at Mark for a second and if it wasn't for the seriousness of the situation would have laughed as she saw the same looked and sagged shoulders she had seen on her beloved brother more than once in her life whenever he did something they knew their mother warned about doing.
Before she could comment Mark suddenly stopped as he reached his body.
Seeing him stop, Piper turned and gasped loudly while covering her eyes. She slowly moved her hands away from her eyes and felt bile in her mouth as she glanced down at his body. "Is that you?" Piper whispered.
Mark gave a slight nod to her question. Behind them down the way they came smoke started to appear, the sound of hoof beats could be heard. Hearing the sound Mark turned in time to see a figure coming out of the smoke, when he got a good look at the being because there was no way it was a man as he was dressed similar to a knight, he took a step back as he pointed his lance at him.
"Yama!" Mark exclaimed in fear.
Piper spun around and moved backward in fear. "Yama?" she asked, beginning to panic. "Run," Piper managed to order waving her hands at him to try and get him to move.
Looking at the figure he knew he had no chance, "It's too late. You better go. Run!" he yelled at her trying to get her to leave.
Not knowing what to do Piper threw her hands up and draw on her magic like she remembered Harry coaching her to do, in a blink of an eye Yama and his horse seemed to freeze on its hind legs. Slowly Mark opened his eyes when he didn't hear the sound of hoof beats getting closer or the pain of being run through by a spear. The sight in front of him was something he would never have thought he would see, a frozen Yama. What he didn't see was the hand gripping the spear squeeze it tightly.
Still looking at Yama, "What happened?" he asked simply as Piper straightened her clothing.
"I'm a good witch, remember?" Piper answered softly.
"But how?"
"I don't know. I panic, I put up both hands and tried to do what my brother taught me and when I do, bad things tend to freeze," she explained quickly, her eyes still staring at Yama.
"For how long?" Mark wondered aloud.
Holding her handbag tightly she spoke in a hurried voice, "Not very, let's go," as they both spun around and ran down the alley away from Yama, missing him tracking their movements.
When they reached the end of the alley Yama seemed to unfreeze, Mark took a quick look down the alley to see Yama coming towards them again. As Yama lost sight of them he turned his head to the side and looked down towards to the stairs near him as if looking at someone before his eyes glowing angrily.

Halliwell Manor
Phoebe knocked on the bathroom door before she started pacing as she waited for Prue to finally come out.
"Prue, you can't do this, Piper's is going to be crushed," she said through the door.
As she turned back to the door she missed Piper coming into the room, "Why am I going to be crushed?" Piper asked while holding a cup of coffee.
Before Phoebe could say anything Prue open the bathroom door only in a towel that was wrapped tightly around her body showing them almost everything, still dripping with water the site made both Piper and Phoebe's eyes trail over her body as they licked their lips.
"The surprise party is off," Prue explained icily.
Caught unaware as her mind had already started undressing Prue, Piper had to quickly fight her urges and answer, "What party?" she asked, not very convincingly.
Phoebe just shook her head in response and to clear her head as well, "She's on to us. The restaurant called while we were out," Phoebe replied.
"Oh… and you were in such a good mood earlier." Piper said.
Phoebe turned to Prue and couldn't help but ask hoping to draw her attention away from the party, "Yeah, why were you in such a good mood?"
Hearing the question a small grin made its way onto her face, "Well if you must know Harry found the island and no one has been on it since the 18th Century so this weekend is going to be nothing but a naked weekend on a tropical island with my lover."
Just then, Mark entered the hallway in front of the bathroom where they were talking, looking for Piper. "Piper, where did you say today's paper was?" he called, not noticing the sisters until he caught sight of Prue. Seeing her in just a towel made whatever he was going to say die in his throat.
Seeing the man, Prue didn't move but gave him a look, "Hey! I'm practically naked here!" Prue shouted indignantly, while Phoebe looked at him confused.
"Oops…sorry." Mark apologized as he turned around and looking away.
"What's the drunk from the hotel doing here?" Phoebe demanded glancing to Piper for an answer since Mark was speaking to her.
Annoyed at being called a drunk and rolled his eyes, "My name's Mark. I'm not a drunk," he insisted.
"He's a ghost," Piper explained quickly explaining it to her sisters.
Prue's eyebrows rose. "Excuse me, a what?" she asked for clarification.
"Like Mom?" Phoebe asked at the same time.
Shaking her head Piper answered, "No a ghost, he was murdered and he obviously needs our help. Why else would we be able to see him?" Piper offered carefully.
It was then Phoebe realized that Mark was standing in front of them while Prue was dripping wet in only in a towel and she was in an old sport's jersey of Harry's that she cut off just under her nipples so it showed the bottom of her breasts and a pair of yoga pants that were basically see through. When she saw him sneak a look out the side of his eyes she pointed out, "Well, he can see us, that's for sure." Before moving in front of Prue facing her to hid both their nakedness.
"Hey!" Prue snapped at Mark who rolled his eyes again.
"Of all the days to be a dead man," he muttered under his breath, looking graciously away for them while wishing he wasn't dead.
"You're sure this guy is really a ghost?" Phoebe demanded, looking at Piper.
Seeing the look she turned towards Mark and tossed her coffee cup at him only for it to pass through him. Just as it passed through him Harry faded into the manor behind him and was hit with the coffee cup in the chest making him grunt.
"Positive," she said as it went through him only to cringe when it hit her brother, "Shit…sorry Harry." She apologized, as she walked through Mark and up to him. She raised her hand and rubbed where the cup had hit him.
"What the hell?" he asked, confused at suddenly being hit.
When he felt Piper's hand on his chest, he looked at her to see her trying not to laugh at him, he could also see that it was her that had thrown the cup and was sorry for hitting him.
"That's fine Piper, but why did you throw a coffee cup at me?" he said, as he heard his other two sisters snickering.
"I didn't mean, to I was proving to Prue and Phoebe that Mark is dead." Piper tried to explain.
Hearing this, he looked around to see a Chinese man standing there behind Piper and looking at them in confusion by the way Piper's hand was rubbing his chest since she hadn't stopped.
Looking at the ghost he couldn't help but ask, "Piper why is there a ghost in the house?"
"He followed me home?" she said in a childish voice getting a snort from everyone there and a deadpanned look from Harry.
"I was killed in a back alley on my way to work and my body was burned by the group men that did it, I searched the city for a psychic so they can find my body and report it so I can be buried before Yama comes and claims my soul. He has tried once when Piper went to my body, after she froze him we ran away and she rang the police and informed them about finding a body. After that, we can here so I could wait out until the funeral."
Hearing that Harry looked at the ghost behind Piper and was confused as to what he was doing here. If all he wanted was for his body to be found then he should have disappeared when he showed it to Piper, he knew ghosts only stayed behind for certain reasons and if what he heard was true then the guy didn't have one anymore. Sure some might think that staying around until his body was found or even wanting to catch the one who was responsible for his violent death would be enough but it wasn't really if it was the case then the world would be crawling with ghosts. The fact that Yama showed up just after they found his body raised red flags as that shouldn't have happened.
Yama only went after those that were bound for purgatory, he would come and claim their souls so that they could be taken to Diyu, a place which serves not only to punish but also to renew spirits ready for their next incarnation. But if wanted he may also direct the soul to a Swarga (heaven) or return it to Bhoomi (earth), he shouldn't be collecting souls that have just died as that's the Angel of Death's job.
Deciding to find out why he was here, he looked at the ghost and Piper, "Come on, I have a way to find out why you didn't pass on when you died." Looking to Prue and Phoebe, "You might want to get dressed before going down there, well that's unless you want Death to see you in just a towel Prue." He finished with a smirk.
Phoebe looked at her sister and couldn't help but join in the teasing, "Don't Prue, I want to see if what Harry said once is true." She said seeing the looks she was getting from everyone, she continued with a smirk, "I remember him saying once that you could give a Death a hard-on. So stay like that I want to see if it's true." A huge grin making its way onto her face as Prue start to blush.
Piper and Harry couldn't help but laugh as Prue glared at Phoebe who just returned the glare with an impish smile, while the siblings were joking around Mark just looked at them as if they were nuts.
A few minutes later, Harry, his sisters, and Mark were standing in the underground training room, Harry walked over to a 5m by 5m Obsidian block and cut his hand. When the palm was filled with enough blood he began drawing a symbol on the block. It was about 1m by 1m in the shape on a triangle with a circle in the middle of it with a straight line down the center. After he finished drawing the symbol, he vanished the leftover blood and healed the cut.
Once he was ready, he bent down and pushed some of his magic into the blood, after nearly 30 seconds had past and nothing happened the girls and the ghost was wondering what was supposed to happen. Before any of them could ask dark bluish white wisps that looked like smoke started to form in the image of a skull. When the wisps were fully formed a man appeared.
He was tall with brown long hair to his shoulders, blue eyes, he was light skinned and wearing all black turtleneck shirt with a black overcoat, pants, and shoes.
The man looked around and spotted Harry before looking down at the bloody symbol.
"So, you figured out how to summon me?" only getting a nod from Harry, "You know that is all it does, you can't order me to do anything."
"Yes, I know and I wouldn't order you to do anything as no one has the power to order Death."
Nodding his head, glad that the wizard before him wasn't that stupid like the rest of his kind that he had been watching since his death. Still, he had other things to do, so he wanted to know why he was here, "So, why did you summon my then?"
Realizing that Death didn't want to be here, Harry got to the point turning slightly to look at his sisters who looked confused and the ghost who was staring at Death in fear instinctively knowing who he was, "I have a problem or should it be we have a problem?" he said turning back to Death who followed Harry gaze to see the dead man standing there.
Getting a confused look on his face, Death looked at the ghost not knowing why he was here as he couldn't sense a reason, looking back Harry he waited to hear what he had to say even though he could guess.
"Even though I'm not the -snots- Master of Death," getting a deadpanned look from the angel, "I still have some connection to the dead as you obviously know."
"Yes, I know that you can still summon dead family members like you do with your mother, at first I was going to revoke that power but the other," he said, giving Harry a pointed look to make sure Harry knew Death was talking about the Angel of Destiny that helped in his rebirth, "asked me to overlook that you could summon family members. She has taken to watching you, all that you do so that you do not abuse this power. She seems to be watching you most when you summon your mother for some other worldly reason.
But that's not here nor there right now, I know that your connection lets you sense why ghosts are still here and I take it you have found the same thing I have?" he asked.
Nodding, he had a small blush on his face at the thought of the Angel of Destiny watching as he fucks his mother, quickly shaking his head to forget that thought until another time, "Yes, I can't sense a reason and on top of that my sister said that Yama arrived on the scene when they found his body."
Hearing this Death looked at the ghost strangely, conjuring his list he looked at the ghost, "Name?'
"Ahh, Mark, Mark Chao, son of Gui Chao and Lei Chao. Sir." Mark said nervously, fear lacing his voice.
Death nodded before looking through his list, slowly as he was going through it his brow started to crease and a frown began to form. Soon he stopped and looked at the man again, "You said Mark Chao, the son of Gui Chao and Lei Chao correct?"
"Yes, yes sir," Mark answered.
"Then you shouldn't be dead, you weren't supposed to die for another 37 years." Death said, not liking that someone had changed his list.
"Wait, if he wasn't supposed to die then how did he?" Piper asked confused.
Death looked at Piper sending a chill up her spine as she remembered who was in front of them, "Well, little witch even though destiny is always in motion and that a name can be taken off the list and added at any time, it is only for deaths that are in the immediate future within a day to a week or two and those deaths will only change with supernatural help like a witch saving someone or a demon killing someone. Yes, there is a way for mortals to change the list but they are rare and more of spontaneous changes and even then most of those are already chosen by destiny."
"What do you mean?" asked Prue.
Looking at the sister and ghost, he tried to think of a way they would understand, he didn't have to worry about the wizard understanding as he has in instinctual knowledge of Death and Destiny even if he didn't know it yet, slowly he tried to word it easily for them, "You hear on the television about a child running out in front of a car and someone pushing them out of the way and being hit in their place, that is a change chosen by destiny. The spontaneous change is if the person will or won't push the child out of the way, sometimes when that happens the person that they were looking at to make the push doesn't do it and someone else does, that is how mortal changes the list. In a situation where one of two people are meant to die but a third makes the choice instead. That's as best as I can describe it, but for a death like Mr. Chao shouldn't have been possible since his real death date was so far away."
"So that means that..?" Piper said trailing off wanting to know what this had to do with Mark.
"That means Piper that someone from the supernational world changed Marks destiny. They made him die for an unknown reason." Harry said looking at the dead man to see him pale.
"Yes and as I said because his death date was so far away it means that someone powerful was behind it." Death said looking at Harry again.
"So, what happens now?" Mark asked.
"Now since I am here I will take you on to the afterlife." Death said.
Nodding his head he looked at the Halliwell family before speaking, "Well, I guess this is it. Thank you for help Piper I'm glad I got to meet people like you who are out there helping keep us safe."
Piper smiles a bit teary, which confused the rest of them, "That's ok, I glad you can to move on now. Is there anything that you would like us to do?" she asked.
"Could someone speak to my mother before she finds out on the news that I'm dead? I don't want her to suffer like that." He pleaded.
"We will," Prue said, wanting to make him know that they would look after it for him.
"Can you also see to it that my body is buried properly," he asked, looking at the Halliwells hopefully.
"No worries, we'll take care of it. Piper said that she rang the policies and gave them a tip off so it will make it easier, we will check on your mother tomorrow and sort out the burial so that your mother doesn't have to go through that." Harry said, already dreading what tomorrow would be like.
"Thank you," Mark said before he turned to face death.
Death seeing that he was ready to go looked back at Harry, "Don't do this often Harry Halliwell I am a busy man." He said before turning and began walking away as they did a blue whirling portal open in front of them they could see a man standing there waiting, slowly Mark and Death walked into the portal when they were gone the portal disappeared behind them leaving the Halliwell siblings standing there.
After watching them go Harry moved behind Piper wrapping his arms her waist and pulling her to him, he could feel Piper's emotions and knew she was upset but he was not 100% sure why. Deciding to leave for now since he knew she would come to one of them if she needed to talk, looking to his sisters he spoke.
"Come on girls, let's go inside."
Without a word the Halliwell sister each grabbed an arm while joining the hug before Harry faded back inside the manor.
