Disclaimer: Not entirely sure why this is even needed. It should be obvious that I own nothing in terms of Wizards of Waverly Place and Harry Potter. Each series belongs to the rightful owners. This is just for entertainment purposes.
Chapter One;
"Come on guys, pay attention." Jerry Russo spoke to his kids upon realizing that they weren't paying attention to his lesson. "This is exciting stuff!" He exclaimed.
The Russo children minds wondered, distracting them from the wizard lesson their father was attempting to teach. This, of course, was something of a normal occurrence. Except Justin usually paid attention but when he didn't, it was enough to raise concern from their father, Jerry Russo, who would stop the lesson to find out what's wrong.
But this time, everyone knew what was wrong. There was no question that there was something off about Max's appearance. He was no longer a he. And that was thanks to the two siblings sitting next to him; his sister Alex, who was furiously typing on her phone avoiding all eye contact with her father. Probably texting Harper about girl stuff. And Justin, who was scratching his head, leg bouncing as he concentrated on a spot on the desk.
"Sorry daddy, this is just boring. Can't we go?" Alex complained, setting her phone down on top of the desk, finally looking up. Her brown eyes staring at her father lovingly, almost encouraging him to stop the lesson and let them leave.
Mouth gaped opened, ready for a response but before he could get a single word out, the portal to the wizarding world opened and Professor Crumbs stepped into the lair. He closed his mouth and stared at the Wiztech headmaster.
Justin looked up from the desk, a smile forming on his face as he stared at the Professor. Curiosity beaming in his eyes as he tried to figure out why he decided to come visit. A visit from Crumbs was a rarity in itself, however, that's not to say that he doesn't visit the Russo family on occasions.
"Hey Professor Crumbs," Justin and Jerry said at the same time, greeting the older man who had just walked in.
"Hello Justin, Jerry," He paused briefly, a quick glance at Alex before his eyes shifted over towards Max. "And where's Max today?" He questioned noticing that something isn't quite right.
"I am Max," Maxine stated, hopping down from her stool, standing right next to Professor Crumbs, her arms crossing her chest.
"But you're a little girl," Professor Crumbs observed.
"These two nimrods are responsible for this," She paused briefly, glancing over at her siblings, a frown forming on her lips. Her gaze returned to the Professor. "It's a long story," Max added.
"I've got time, explain," the Professor spoke.
"Well-" Max started but was cut off by Alex. Her hand covering her mouth, instantly shutting her up.
"We don't really need to go through all of that again, do we?" Alex asked, a yelp suddenly escaped her lips and she removed her hand quickly. "Really, Max?" She yelled, staring down at her hand where the youngest Russo had just bit her.
"Serves you right," Max spoke, smirking.
"Look, Professor, Alex and I made a mistake. We were trying to get the wizarding competition date back because somebody decided to change it, and we crossed spells and this happened," Justin pointed towards Maxine.
"You changed the wizarding competition?" Professor Crumbs asked overlooking the situation.
"Well, maybe. But only because I was told to," Max said.
"Since when do you ever do what you're told?" Justin questioned, Max just shrugged.
"Anyway, I am very disappointed in you three. I would have expected better, especially from you two," Crumbs stated, pointing to both Justin and Alex.
"We're all disappointed, Professor," Jerry Russo spoke up suddenly, he had stayed silent for too long and perhaps what he had said was the wrong thing but it was what he had felt. His kids screwed up, it was their responsibility to fix things.
"I think, I have just the thing. I have a friend in the United Kingdom who owes me a favor. I'm sure he will welcome both Alex and Justin into his school with open arms," Crumbs stated, his thin lips forming into a smile behind his mustache and beard.
"What kind of school is it?" Justin asked, interest peeking.
"It's a lot like Wiztech except they don't run on electricity. It's called Hogwarts," He explained.
"Wait, so your solution is to send us to another magic school?" Alex questioned, eyebrows raised in confusion. Wondering what kind of punishment that was.
"There are other wizarding schools besides Wiztech?" Justin questioned.
"Something Justin doesn't know," Alex commented, a dramatic gasp of shock escaped her lips.
"Yes. And there are, Justin, in fact, there are several others. I just happen to know the headmaster of this school," Professor Crumbs informed them.
The Professor walked towards the portal, opened the door and was about to step inside, but paused briefly, quickly glancing back at the Russo family.
"And I expect good results if you want to stay in the wizard competition," He stated.
"What?! You can't do that!" Alex protested.
"But I can," He said.
Professor Crumbs was about to leave when he remembered something….
"Oh before I forget, you will be receiving your letters shortly," Crumbs left, shutting the portal door behind him. As soon as he was out of sight, the four Russo's sauntered out of the freezer door, and into the substation. Their thoughts were all on what he had just said.
A/N: I haven't written in forever but nonetheless, I'm pretty excited for this and I hope that you guys are too! I also realize that there are other fanfiction with this plot line? So I will try to make this as different as the other ones that you may or may not have read.
And I haven't quite figured out pairings yet? The only one I know for certain is Mason x Alex (and yes, Mason will make an appearance later on!) So feel free to leave suggestions on who you'd like me to focus on or if you'd rather this be focused on their friendships instead.
Last but certainly not least, this does take place during the time when Alex and Justin turn Max into a female, hence the change in pronouns for his character. Hopefully that won't be confusing.
But let me know what you guys think and enjoy!
I noticed some small errors in this while re-reading it and I fixed them all, I hope.
