Victoria's POV

"MO-OM! WILL TURNED UNCLE MAX INTO A WATERMELON WHILE HE WAS NAPPING!" I yelled into the kitchen of our apartment. My name is Victoria Russo and I'm the oldest of three children from the parents of Alex and Mason Russo. Will is my younger brother and I also have another younger brother named Marcus. Will is the youngest of the three and Marcus is closer to me.

"Ha! Nice one Will! But Victoria, would you change him back?" Mom asked me. I groaned and pulled out my wand.

"Fruity, pa-tootie" I said. Almost instantly, Uncle Max turned back into a human again.

"Good one Victoria" my Uncle Justin said.

"Thanks Uncle Justin" I said. He nodded. Then my baby cousin Michael came in, with Aunt Juliet running in behind him.

"Victoria! Help! Please!" She said. I laughed and grabbed Michael and handed him to Aunt Juliet.

"Thank you" she said, breathless.

"No problem, hey where's Amanda?" I asked. Then, my cousin Amanda came running in, screaming.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Amanda was my Uncle Max's adopted wizard daughter. She is a year younger than me.

"Look what dad did to my dress!" She screeched. I looked down at her dress and saw nothing.

"What exactly am I looking at?" I asked. She groaned.

"He got the wrong dress! I wanted a pink dress, and look what I got. Magenta!" She yelled.

"Can't you just flash out of it?" I asked.

"Aunty Harper was staying over" Amanda said. I nodded. Aunt Harper wasn't our real aunt, she is my mom's best friend and her husband is Uncle Justin's best friend.

"Oh. Here, I'll flash you into it before she comes in" I said. I pulled out my wand once more and waved it. Again, almost instantly she was wearing a dress that was now a bright pink, instead of… magenta.

"Thank you!" She said, hugging me. There's something you need to know about Amanda. She is a perfectionist and a girly-girl. Even though we are best friends and cousins, the only thing we have in common is that we are girls, and that we are wizards.

"Victoria! How lovely it is to see you again!" Harper said, walking into the room. She was wearing a root beer float dress. Her dress was the glass and she was wearing a hat that looked like the ice cream.

"Hi Aunt Harper! I love your dress!" I said. She thanked me and walked over to my mom.

"C'mon, let's go up to my room" I said, grabbing Amanda's hand and ran up the stairs to my room. Our house was the house that my mom and uncles lived in when they were kids. We ran up to my room, which used to be my mom's room.

"Let's see what my dad is doing" I said. Amanda nodded. I pulled out my wand and pointed at a painting that I did when I was younger.

"Please please, tell me now, is there something I should know, Deranium, Deranius" I said. Then, the picture changed to an image of my dad chained to a wall with a man with white hair laughing next to him.

"Gorog, you will never find her. She is protected and Alex will never let you have her" my father said in his British accent that Amanda thought was adorable.

"Mason, Mason, Mason. When will you learn? Alex will give me the girl for you. She loves you so very much" Gorog said. He then continued laughing as the image faded. Dad was in trouble and this man, Gorog, was trying to find someone that my father has. Oh no.
