A/N: I decided to start writing this story first since it seemed to be the most popular right now. Like I said I plan on doing the other stories too, but it might take a while to get them up. So for now I will be working on "Discovering the Unnoticed" and this one, I may slip "Why Didn't It Work" in too.

Disclaimer for whole story: I do not own Wizards of Waverly Place.

Chapter 1: Introducing the Potions

In the Wizard's lair Alex, Justin, and Max were sitting at their usual place having their scheduled wizard lesson.

"For today we will be learning about the Emotion Potions," announced Jerry as he went over to the table with several bottles on it.

"As the name suggests these potions bring out a certain emotion above the others in a person, the catch is that for the potion to work two people must drink the potion not just one can be affected. For example if two people drink an anger potion anger will dominate over all the other emotions the people have causing them to despise each other," explained Jerry.

"Like I need a potion to loathe Justin," commented Alex while rolling her eyes.

Justin just ignored Alex's comment and asked a question.

"So wait, are you saying the potion doesn't create the emotion, but enhances the strength of it?" asked Justin.

"Right Justin, which is why you must be careful when using them because enhancing the wrong emotion in people can cause lots of consequences for themselves and others," stressed Jerry as he was looking straight at Alex.

"What?!" replied Alex innocently with a smile on her face.

Jerry just shook his head and continued the lesson.

"Now when drinking these potions it's very important to drink the right amount for the right affects. They are very similar to the effects of a drug. The more you drink the potion the more you want it and the stronger the emotion becomes and remains dominate in the people. The most important thing to remember is that if the people drink the whole potion the effects will become permanent," he said seriously.

"Can you show us how it works?" asked Alex with clear interest in her voice.

Jerry gave her a suspicious look but agreed nonetheless. He grabbed two cups and poured a very small portion of one of the potions in both cups.

"Max come here," he told him.

Max got out of his seat and went towards his father as he was handed one of the cups.

"Okay now what?" asked Max staring at the cup in his hands.

Everyone just sighed when he asked that.

"You and I are going to drink what's in the cups," Jerry responded back.

After they both finished drinking the potion they set the cups on the table.

"Now in a few seconds the potion will take effect and Max and I will be depressed and upset with each other. Also because we only drank a small dose of the potion it won't be as strong and it will last for only a few seconds."

Just as he finished his sentence a blue light surrounded his body and moved towards Max covering him, as a blue light from Max's body covered Jerry the same way.

After the light show was over both Jerry and Max looked like they were on the verge of a break down. Max had his head down and was shaking slightly obviously trying to hold back the tears muttering quietly to himself mentioning his dad a couple of times. Jerry had gone down on his knees with both hands covering his face letting a few tears sip through also mumbling something about Max.

This worried Alexis when she saw her brother and father in this kind of state.

"Justin what do we do?!" panicked Alexis looking at Justin hoping he would have a solution.

"Alexis calm down remember it's just the potion," reminded Justin as he gave her a reassuring smile, even though he was starting to worry himself.

"I thought dad said the emotion shouldn't be strong since they only took a sip. Or maybe the potions are just naturally strong which is why they drank as little as possible. That must be it, I hope," contemplated Justin.

"He's right it's just the potion Alex, nothing to worry about right?" thought Alex.

Just after that thought crossed her mind both Jerry and Max were back to normal.

"So any questions?" asked Jerry as he picked himself off the floor and Max returned to his seat.

Alex and Justin gave him weird looks so Jerry just took that as a no.

"Alright then, class dismissed," proclaimed Jerry as he left the lair.

"Well, I'm hungry!" announced Max as he too left the lair to get something to eat.

This left Justin and Alex alone.

"Well that was interesting," Alex replied awkwardly to Justin.

Justin nodded his head having to agree with her.
