The Russo Chronicles Vol I: The Family Wizard

by Spellbound21

Follow the adventures of the world's most famous Wizarding family, as they begin their adult lives. Watch Justin, Alex and Max and all their family and friends as they answer the question that has plagued from the beginning. Who will be the family wizard? Rated T for minor violence and coarse language.

The Russo Chronicles Volume I: The Family Wizard

Chapter I - The Night Before

Author's note: I do not own any part of the WOWP do I own the cast members, plot, characters or channel. I am simply manipulating the story in my own way for my own literary enjoyment, as well as yours, the reader. I don't expect nor will I accept any financial gain from this story.

This story essentially begins at the start of the very last episode of Wizards of Waverly Place. However, a few minor details (and some major ones) have been changed:

1. Justin never recovered Juliet from the Mummy. Mason never admitted his love for Juliet and the fight in Transylvania never happened. Juliet is still a vampire. Mason is still partly human. Therefore Mason has remained Alex's boyfriend (and a werewolf) for some time. They do know he is a werewolf.

2. They never found out about angels, dark angels, Rosie or Gorog. They will come into the story later.

3. The family wizard competition has not yet occurred and I will be changing the events of that episode.

4. Finally, as an author, I take full liberties to alter certain parts of the established story. Disney Channel has no regard for continuity, and I intend to continue this.

Enjoy!

Alex lay restless in bed as her clock ticked away her last remaining seconds of childhood. Her older brother Justin, as well as herself, had scraped together the last qualifications needed for a level 3 wizard, the requisite power level for the Wizard Competition.

And they'd done it only just in time. For their younger sibling, Max, was celebrating his 16th birthday in a few short hours. But the celebration would be cut short. A visitor by the name of Councillor Tootietootie would come in the early hours of the morning and whisk them away to a place engraved into Alex's memory. It was the same place where she had discovered the truly limitless power of full magic. The same place she had wished that her parents had never met, causing her and her brothers to never have existed. It was the place where she had beaten Justin to become the family wizard.

And there it might have ended. Alex could have continued her life until time caught up with her and she was banished to the world of nothingness. But instead she was here, in a comfortable bed living a comfortable life as a trainee wizard. She had a boyfriend who was very comfortable to lie against during a cold night. Everything was comfortable.

Provided, of course, you skipped over the bit where she allowed evil to take over Wiztech School. And that silly business where she revealed magic to the world. Oh and the bit where she made her parents forget who she was, the part where she saved the world from an asteroid and... okay so it wasn't that comfortable a life, sure, but she was happy.

Every day held a new surprise, a new beginning, something to get excited about. But by the end of today (as the clock ticked it's leisurely lay past midnight) it could really be the end. By the time the sun went down, they would know. Who would be the family wizard?
