Chapter One: The Reject.

The day had finally arrived. He was twenty two years old. Max had just graduated from high school and their father had finally deemed them all ready for the competition. So he was back on that battle field. Ruins scattered out around him. The whole event was being presided over by Professor Crumbs, some high up members of the wizard counsel and their uncle Kelbo. He wriggled impatiently waiting for the contest to begin. Professor Crumbs was explaining the rules. Justin for once in his life wasn't paying attention to what the professor was saying. He had already done this before. He knew the rules. He studied them like crazy for the past few years. And this time he intended to win. He intended to win all the family magic and become the family wizard. There was just no other acceptable options. He had to win.

He glanced over at his sister. She was a completely magical being and he hated the idea of taking that away from her. It made him sad but not as sad as he would be if he lost his magic. Besides once he was family wizard he would take care of her just like he had done his entire life.

Professor Crumbs finally finished talking. Rubbing his hands together he produced a fiery ball of pure magic and released it. Forming a gust of wind with his hands he pushed it high into the sky at about the center of the field. "You may now begin." he uttered out the words Justin had been waiting for.

All three of them took off. Running haphazardly towards the center of the field. To the burning ball of magic and hopefully towards there future as a full wizard. Max was a surprisingly adept participant. It really came as quite a shock and it threw off Alex and Justin who had pretty much assumed that it was always going one of them. Yep Max was actually a competent wizard. Justin and Alex snapped out of their shock pretty quickly though. They were both in this competition to win it.

Alex was using pretty much the same strategy that she had used last time. Lots of big water puddles Justin slipping and falling in them as she laughed at him. It worked the first time so hey maybe it would work again. But Justin caught on pretty quickly. He summoned up a strong wind and rode on it like he was surfing the air. That pretty much made all of Alex's puddle useless. He looked down and saw Max standing in one he acted quickly using his wand to freeze the puddle. As Max was trying to thaw himself out Justin headed towards the magic. He saw Alex head for it too. He was so close. This time he would catch it. This time it would be his. Reaching out he touched it. It felt warm and tingly. He expected to absorb it into his body. For it to become a part of him but that didn't happen. It just stayed there. Alex had almost caught up with him and as she approached the magic darted away avoiding her.

Justin's legs felt weak and his stomach was tossing with sickness. What had happened? He had just touched it. Felt it in his hands. So why wasn't it inside him now? Why wasn't he lifted up in the air by the power of his magic? His full wizard powers. He collapsed to the ground. All his energy was gone. He didn't know what had happened but he was pretty sure his world as he knew it was completely over. This was supposed to be the happiest moment of his life but instead he was lying on the ground trying desperately not to cry.

Crumbs stopped the competition. All the judges ran out on the field along with Jerry and Theresa. They all wore confused expressions except for professor Crumbs.

"Justin. The Russo Family magic has rejected you. That can only mean one thing. It means that you are not a Russo." Professor Crumbs declared.

"What!" Theresa shouted out. "Okay this has got be some kind of mistake. Justin is a Russo. I gave birth to him I should know. "She argued forcefully.

"Did you give birth to him? Or is that just what you think? Memory can be altered Theresa. Just because you remember something that does not make it true. Think back and I'm sure you will find the memories lack details. Where was Justin born? What did he look like when you first laid eyes on him? And so on. You can't tell me can you? Because Justin is not your son. Now the real questions are how and why." Professor Crumb explained.

"I think it's safe to assume that some illegal form of magic was used to bring this about." he said accusingly. And the entire family turned to look at Alex suspiciously.

"What! Like I'm going to make the most annoyingly perfect guy in the world my brother so that I'll always look bad in comparison? Yeah right!" she said sarcastically. "I don't buy it anyway. Justin is my brother. I know I convinced Max that he was our butler for half of his life and there was that one time I tried to put him up for adoption but the fact of the matter is he is my brother." Alex said firmly.

Professor Crumbs zapped them all back to the wizard city hall and put them all into separate rooms. That way he could speak to each of them alone and he could get this whole mess sorted out. He was rummaging through some files. The information had to be here somewhere. When he finally found it he whistled softly. He had not been expecting that. Taking the scroll with him he headed straight for the room that contained Justin.

Justin felt gutted. A few hours ago he had thought that the worst thing that could ever happen to him would be losing the wizard competition. Now not only had he not won again but it turned out he didn't even know who he was. How did he get here? How did he end up in a family that didn't rightfully belong to him? As professor crumbs walked in Justin stood up nervously.

"I think you should sit back down Justin." professor crumbs suggested. "On this scroll every spell that you have ever performed is magically written." Crumbs showed him the scroll. At the top written in bold was the name 'Justin Denalli'.

"It's broken down by year. Could you read starting at year thirteen?" crumbs requested.

Justin did as he was told reading off the list. "Turned Derek Beekerrnan's skin green. Charmed my teacher into giving me first prize in the science fair. Gave my dog wings, Charmed Alex Russo into making out with me behind the bleachers! Wait a minute? What?" He yelled out. "This can't be right! I don't remember doing any of those things." he said forcefully.

"Keep reading Justin." Crumbs said ignoring Justin's frantic tone.

"Cast a spell to make it so that me and my girlfriend Alex Russo would be together always." Justin said quietly. And suddenly having said that out loud he remembered something. He remembered the uncontrollable love and yearning of a thirteen year old boy who's only good thing in life was his girl friend Alex Russo. He remembered that he loved her and definitely not in a way a brother loves his sister because she wasn't his sister. She was his lover.
