It was a normal Thursday afternoon for the three Russo siblings as they were in their wizarding layer waiting for their father to come in and start their magic lesson. He was running a tad late due to the fact that the Waverly Substation, the family sub shop, was full of customers so Jerry, the siblings father, had to make sure every customer was satisfied before he could leave. The three siblings did not mind having to wait since it gave them time to explore the layer since they were still only beginner wizards.
Justin at the age of 13 knew quit a bit more than his two younger siblings due to the fact he was the first to receive his wizarding powers. That and he is a major bookworm. Any spare time he has you can find him studying for school or his wizard studies. He is what parents would call the perfect child. He always has straight A's, does his chores without being asked, is obedient, and looks after his younger siblings.
Alexandra or Alex for short is the complete opposite of Justin. She is the middle child at age 11 and is the only daughter. Alex is mischievous, cunning, and sly, but is very loyal to those she loves. She will do just about anything to get her way and she being the only girl gives her an advantage since she is daddy's little isn't evil, she just like pranking and is super lazy, so she uses her skills to get away with most everything she does.
Maximilian, or Max, is almost completely different than both his one similar common interest is that he likes pranking Justin alongside Alex. Not even his physical attributes are the same as his siblings. Max has light brown hair while his siblings have black and Max has light brown eyes while Justin's are blue and Alex's are a dark chocolatey brown. Max being Max always blamed the differences in appearance on magic even though he has no clue how that could work. He didn't think much of the situation though, as a matter of fact he barely thought at isn't the brightest person and will mostly do things off a whim. Max is very random and confusing and most people just go with whatever he does. Everything he does is though childish seeing as he is only 9 years old.
Anyway back to the three siblings sitting in the layer. Max had just gotten his new wand and has decided to be adventurous trying wand magic for the first time. He was trying to remember some of the spells his dad has taught Justin and Alex. Justin being Justin was reading a wizards history book and was currently reading about the Philosopher's Stone while Alex was reading a fashion magazine and texting her best friend Harper.
"Hey guys I think I remember a spell dad taught you!" Max suddenly yelled. Alex just ignores Max but Justin looks up curiously in hopes that Max might be taking an interest in actually studying something much like Justin himself.
"what spell do you think you remember Maxi?" Justin asks using Maxes nickname.
Instead of explaining what was in his mind, Max just waves his wand and shouts, "literarium terarium!"
All of a sudden a bright flash engulfs the room and the three children disappears only leaving behind the history book Justin was reading, but opened to page one instead.
The three quickly realize they are falling and begin screaming until they suddenly land with a loud thump on what appears to be the hardwood floor of a bar.
"Hey, where are we?" Alex timidly asked.
"Uh…" Justin begins to look around, "I think we are in my book. This looks to be the Leaky Cauldron in England…. England! Max!"
"What? Oh hey look at that…" Max walks off.
"OK so we are in England in one of your dumb history books, how do we get back home?" asks Alex.
"Umm that is an excellent question. I am going to go with we don't since dad hasn't taught us the reverse spell thanks to your recklessness."
"Wha... me?"
"Yes! Miss. I'm too cool to pay attention, I have to cause havoc and make my father leave the lesson just so I don't have to learn because I am too lazy!"
"Oh shut up! Where did Max go?"
"I don't know, but we better find him before he causes any trouble."
"Uh, too late." Alex points out. Suddenly they watch Max run straight into what seems to be a giant hairy man.
"Whoa ther'! Ar' yer OK ther' young fella?" asks the giant.
"What? Oh ya! I'm Max by the way. Cool beard, can I touch it?"
The big man laughs heartily and says, "Nice to meet ya 's Rubeus Hagrid, but jus' call me Hagrid."
"OK. oh here comes my older siblings Justin and Alex. I'd watch out if I were you cause Justin is one big stick in the mud and doesn't like strangers." Max whispered the last part to Hagrid.
"Sir I am so sorry if Max has done anything to harm or annoy you in any way." exclaims Justin.
"Ya he's a bit out there," claims Alex.
"Nonsense, we're jus introducin ourselves. I'm Hagrid. I am the games keeper down at Hogwarts."
"Hogwarts!" Yells Justin excitedly
"Hog-what?" asks Alex.
"It's only the best wizarding school in the world!" Justin explains.
"Have yer guys not gotten letters? You two surely look old enough to attend. All of a sudden the four heard a pop and turn toward the noise to see an old man with a long white beard wearing robes and holding what seems to be two letters. He looks at the two eldest siblings and Alex could have sworn she saw his eye twinkle.
"Dumbledore!" exclaims Hagrid
"Actually Hagrid I have their letters right here. I wanted to personally hand deliver them to our new students to simply acquaint myself. I was hoping that it would put less stress and tension on the siblings since they are quite new to the area."
Hagrid turned to look at the siblings and tells them," Yer two must be pretty honored. Dumbledore usually does not do this often for students."
"Yes thank you Hagrid. I shall speak to the Russos in private now if you don't mind. I think you are running late to greet and pick up poor Harry."
"Oh! Of course headmaster. I shall be on my way. It wer' nice meetin ya Max, Justin, and Alex. Good bye!" and Hagrid left in a hurry mumbling to himself, " Now how of me to forget poor Harry! On his birthday too."
