It was a cold blustery night on Waverly Place with few pedestrians out. Steam wafted from manhole covers, people trussed up in thick coats and heavy layers of clothes hurried on the way past the lighted glow of shops and markets. At Delvecchio's Pizza Place, the staff shivered and jumped when customers came in letting the cold in as they arrived to eat. Mike Romano had to close the loading dock of his produce place because the breeze was freezing his produce. Kids at Waverly Used Cars were pulling down icicles and throwing them at each other. Others were crunching through pools of frozen water along nearby Elliott Street. On the sidewalk, Sean Finnerty felt a pinprick of cold and tilted his head back to the cloudy night sky looking for snowflakes. There was not a star to be seen as cars headed down through Waverly Place and nearby Greenwich Village. At the Waverly Place Sub Shop, Justin felt a chill every time he came past the entranceway into the shop. Despite the cold weather with warnings of snow looming, he had been steadily busy in the shop taking care of customers ordering sandwiches to take home. His father was manning the kitchen, his mother was taking care of the duties of being in a family and his brother was… somewhere.

The last member was Alex Russo, the cute and brunette diva of the family and she had starry eyes tonight as her current beau helped her in her history homework. Kevin Mitchell was a bit different than most of her past beaus; he had a brain. He was not as distracted as Dean or as cursed as Mason, but he did have one thing going for him. He was crazy about her. He could look into her eyes and see what she was thinking, and somehow know just what she wanted. He carried her books before she asked, he took her hand when she was thinking it and was there holding open doors for her before she knew he was there. She practically had him bewitched, and with her talents, that possibility was very likely. Alex looked at Kevin and grinned a little bit, pulling her hair back a little and giggling under her breath before looking back at him and glancing back at him to see if he was looking at her. With assignments on the Cold War in Europe before them, he pretended to look away then back at her again, the two of them now giggling in unison with each other before he leaned over, held her chin in his left hand pressed his lips to hers. Alex gasped as if she was taking in his breath, her heart starting to flutter just a bit to feel him close to her. Coming up from the garage, Theresa carried the laundry ahead of her husband, noticed her daughter kissing her current boyfriend and awed to see her baby in love. Jerry saw it another way.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!!!" He screamed. "Get those lips off my daughter!"

Kevin jumped back clutching his chest.

"Dad!"

"Jerry?" Theresa looked back at him too grinning at his jealous nature.

"I'm sorry, but…" Jerry tried to apologize. "But to me, she's still… daddy's little girl."

"Kevin…" Alex gave Kevin a peck to the cheek. "Give me a second…" Alex rose in her white sweater and blue jeans, tugging her sweater down a bit and whipping her long dark locks back before casually strutting off the landing to the patio over to her father in the kitchen nook. She tilted her head up like a little lady, lowered her voice a bit and glanced from her father to her mother and back again.

"Daddy…" Alex came up to the kitchen counter. "I want to tell Kevin I'm a wizard. Can I…"

"Awwwww…" Jerry looked at his baby. "No."

"Oh, come on, dad…" Alex came around to face him as he checked his roast in the oven. "You were young once, and besides… all you have to do is reactivate those memories you had Justin bury… You know, from when we were trapped in his short story."

"Hmmm…" Jerry sounded as if he was considering it. "No."

"But he could be your future son-in-law…"

"He can?" Theresa wasn't sure of she was worried or excited.

"Oh, well, it you're going to put it like that…" Jerry continued. "Heck, no!!!"

"But, dad…"

"No, Alex…" Jerry turned round from checking the family dinner and looked at his daughter in his way. "Look, I know you really like this boy, but… You two might not last. Give it a few more months… Did I say months? A few more years… and if you still feel the same about him, then you can tell him, like say… Oh, how about in the year 2025?" He gave Alex a fatherly little squeeze on her shoulder and turned round to return downstairs to the shop. Alex just sighed a bit defeatedly and dejectedly and looked over to Kevin working at their homework on the table. She looked over to her mother.

"Mom…"

"Honey…" Theresa checked her vegetables for dinner and turned back to sort the clean laundry. "I'm sorry, but it's way to early for you to set your sights on one boy. Just wait a bit longer…"

"How much longer?" Alex advanced on her mother a bit.

"Any time but now…"

"But I want to know if he'll accept me as a wizard." Alex glanced over to Kevin and back to her mother. "Mom, this is real. I need to know."

"Not now, honey…" Theresa stroked her little girl's head and lifted the laundry basket to sort the contents in the next room. A deep sigh from her lungs, Alex turned on her heel lightly and heard a noise from the floor above. Hesitating sharply, she noticed her brother, Max, coming down toward her from the staircase. He'd been eavesdropping again.

"I think I can help." He announced.

"How?" Alex looked at him a bit interested but nervously apprehensive.

"Like this… Hey, Kevin…" Max went rushing over to her boyfriend. "Alex really likes you. Oh, and by the way, she's a wizard. We all are!"

Alex slapped her head to her forehead embarrassed. Kevin sat up waiting for the punchline.

"Yeah…" Max continued talking. "In fact, you knew all about it a long time ago, but dad had Justin erase your memories with a spell."

Kevin sat chuckling a moment thinking it was all a joke. Getting over the full-face embarrassment, Alex chuckled a bit, wandered over and draped her right arm around Max's head with her hand over his mouth.

"Excuse me a minute…" She shined lovingly to Kevin then started choking her brother down to the floor and calling him an idiot for ruining what she wanted to be a very special moment between her and Kevin. Still wondering what the joke was, Kevin watched as the two of them lowered down past his view over the table until he couldn't see either of them. All he heard was Max choking and gasping for air, a sudden shriek and Alex slowly standing straight and adjusting her top with a happy look on her face.

"Kevin…" She spoke sweetly innocent again. "I wanted to be the one to tell you… in my own way."

"You're a wizard?'

"Yes, yes, I am."

"A wizard?"

"Isn't that what I just said?!" Max mentioned from the floor, and Alex's foot just suddenly kicked him as he groaned from the pain. At that moment, Harper Finkle entered the Russo's loft from the entryway to the street instead of the stairway through the shop. Dressed in her cheerleader uniform, she was Alex's best friend staying with her and completing high school. The wide-eyed ingénue dropped her purse, set her books aside and strided assured of herself and head high toward the kitchen nook to get a snack before starting her homework.

"Harper…" Kevin looked over to her from the dining area. "Is there something special about Alex that I don't know?"

"You mean…" Harper pulled out a diet soda and the makings of a salad. "Besides the fact that she's a…" Her eyes went wide and she dropped her jaw ecstatically looking back to Alex. "You told him that you're a wizard! Alex! You promised to wait till I could be hear to see his face when you told him the secret!"

"Well…" Alex lightly tossed a bit of her hair back with a twitch of her head. "Technically, Max told him…" She swatted her hand to her idiot brother getting off the floor.

"Stop hitting me!" Her brother reacted from getting slapped.

"Alex…" Kevin checked his watch and started pulling his schoolbooks together. "Look, I knew you were special from the first time I saw you, but…" He lightly brushed her hair from her face with his hand. "You don't have to get your brother to say crazy stuff like this to get me to…"

"You don't believe me?"

"Look, she really is a wizard…" Harper testified. "I mean… the stuff I've seen, the things she's turned me into…" She leaned toward him. "I once got stuck in her head…" She paused. "And your vampire short story!" She nodded her head.

"Kevin, please…" Alex took Kevin's hand to stop him from leaving.

"Alex, you don't have to say crazy stuff like this to impress me." He looked into her big brown eyes bouncing back and forth between his hazel eyes. "I'd love you if you were Buddhist, Jewish or a… Greek goddess."

"She's been that too!" Harper added as Alex made an odd look toward her then back to Kevin.

"I'm not crazy…" Alex was too much in love with him to be offended. "I can prove it to you." She reached to her pocket for something, looked around and over to Harper. "Where's my wand?"

"I think it's in your purse." Harper looked round.

"I think I can bring back Kevin's memories." Max grinned awkwardly sure of himself with a weird grin on his face. "Just let me try…"

"Oh, this can't possibly be good." Harper saw something about to happen.

"Uh, Alex…" Kevin looked at her trustingly but not so much for her crazy brother. "Look, if you say you're a Wizard, I'm sure…"

"Just give him a chance." Alex held his hand. "You love me, right?"

"I'm crazy about you, but…"

"Return back to the memories you lost." Max incanted as a light came from his wand, grew brighter and brighter before them and then exploded. As the flash faded away, Alex and Harper could see the traces of smoke hung in the air and then realized Max had vanished. Maybe the spell was a bit too open for interpretation. Max had meant to bring back Kevin's buried memories, but did it send him to revisit his own memories or did it undo Justin's spell from months before? Alex and Harper looked around for him, but they couldn't see him. Harper turned round scanning the room over, and Alex spun around looking for her brother on the floor and on the ceiling. Kevin meanwhile wavered a bit dizzy before her.

"Max?" Alex waved her arm to see if he was invisible and checked the floor to see if he was shrunk. "Max? Oh god! Kevin, I just lost my brother!"

"And you are?" He looked strangely at her. He had lost all his memories!! Alex's eyes went wide and her hands reached to her mouth in shock! Her eyes started filling full of tears upon realizing what she had done. No... What had Max done?! Kevin didn't know who she was at all!!!

"Well, I called that one!!!" Harper testified.
