Paige had ~~handwavily~~ notified the students to meet in the Danger Shop today and to wear old clothes. When they arrived, they would find the shop looking much like a chemistry lab. There was also a guest speaker in front of the room with Paige.

"Morning, everyone. We're meeting here today so that none of you accidentally blow yourselves or the school up," Paige greeted them. "This is Piper Halliwell, my half sister. Well, technically she's my half sister from another universe and a Fandom High grad. Anyway, she's the best potion maker I know, so I asked her to join us today."

"Hey everyone," Piper greeted, waving to the class. She found it so weird that she did not recognize anyone. "So I guess I'll be telling you a little about potions and then I can show you how to make some. I promise not to actually blow anything up. There will be no love potions either."

Paige gave each student a handout listing a number of potions they could make. "We have all of the ingredients here to make any of these. They will not work outside of this room. If you want to try them out, I can create a simulation for you to test it on. Before you start, Piper will talk a little about how potions work and give you some pointers."

"Anyone can make a potion. In fact, most ingredients can be found in a typical kitchen cupboard. Many of them just go by different names," Piper explained to the class. "The potions must be infused with magic for them to work, at least in my world. This means someone, usually a witch, must have the power of spell casting."

She walked over to one of the tables where a mortar and pestle was set up, as well as empty vials and various spices. "We usually take all the ingredients needed for a particular spell and mix them in a bowl like this one with some water and then fill the vials. My sisters and I carry these around with us when we need to. We use the potions for a variety of reasons such as protecting innocents, summoning another witch, and sometimes to vanquish demons."

"We only vanquish the demons who are trying to hurt others though," Paige clarified, not wanting any of them to get ideas about Drake. Or any other demons who might be on the island (or in this class).

"Why don't you guys work in pairs," Paige suggested. "Make a potion or two. Let me know what you've made and I'll set up a sim for you to test it. And if you have questions about your potions, feel free to grab me or Piper."

Piper was also around if anyone had any questions or wanted to talk.

"So, uhhh," Hurley said, sort of half unsure on how to do this. "Hi. And stuff."

"Hey there," Piper replied, giving him a small smile. "Is there something you need help with?"

"You're, like, Phoebe's sister and stuff, right?" Hurley said. He remembered certain things from that other world. And from his encounter with Bel and Phoebe at Homecoming. But it was still kinda awkward.

"Yeah, she's my sister," Piper replied. "How do you know Phoebe?"

"Anyone tell you about the thing with the vampire universe?" Hurley said, trying to play this cool. "And all the bad stuff?"

His face showed he was a little uncomfortable with this, but he wanted to talk about it.

Piper frowned when he mentioned that. "Yeah, I know about it. I mean, I was told about it. I wasn't there, but...I know someone who was."

"I was one of those people," Hurley said. "And, uhhh, well, I did see your sister. But she wasn't... alive at the time."

"Yeah, I know about that, too," Piper said quietly, remembering her conversation with Phoebe awhile back. "She told me after finding out about it Homecoming weekend. You saw her as a ghost?"

"Yeah, that was kinda me that told her," Hurley said. How the hell did you say 'She was there to help me stay calm when Bel was killing me' in a way that didn't sound crazy?

"Not that I normally can see ghosts or anything. Bu over there I was different and stuff."

"It seems like a lot of things were different there," Piper added. "I'm sorry you got caught up in that. No one should have to deal with that."

"Yeah," Hurley said. "...I'm not sure why I brought it up. Guess it was just... nice to see a friendly face from a bad time."

Piper nodded, giving him a sympathetic smile. "Sometimes talking helps."

"So like... thanks for coming and helping with the class today," he said. "And yeah, I'm Hurley. It was nice to... meet you, I guess."

"Nice to meet you, Hurley," Piper said, realizing who he was from what Phoebe had told her. There's a good chance I'll be back. Maybe we'll talk again."

After hearing ~~handwavily~~ that Piper was in town, Dani stopped by to say hi. After all, she hadn't had a chance to talk to her since that bizarre weekend.

"So, how did you enjoy teaching for a day?" she asked.

"It was okay. At least I know a little about the subject," Piper said, grinning. "Hey, Dani. How've you been since that weird weekend?"

"I'm doing good. I finally managed to rent out one of my unused bedrooms," said Dani. "Having a tenant who was handy with a gun came in handy when some critters tried to invade a few weeks ago."

"It's always something here, isn't it?" Piper said, shaking her head.

"At least it keeps life interesting?" suggested Dani. "But I'm really feeling at home here. It's nice to have so much distance between my family and their messes."

"Once you are here long enough, the outside world seems weird in comparison," Piper snickered.
