Previously on Brotherly Ties:

Wyatt turned back towards his mother for one last good bye. With tears in her eyes she wished him luck and hoped that he would once again be happy. Wyatt grabbed his stuff then left with the old man.

Chapter 2

It was instantaneous. A feeling of being sucked into a large straw overcame Wyatt then in a blink of an eye he was standing in a huge office. At least with orbing one felt like floating. This was a horrible feeling. Wyatt almost collapsed if Dumbledore hadn't had a grip on his shoulder.

"It is interesting the first time." He chuckled. Wyatt rolled his eyes at the old man.

"And it will be the last time…" Wyatt said as he corrected his posture. "I'll stick with orbing."

"Sorry but that won't be possible." Dumbledore smiled. This caused Wyatt glare at the man waiting for an answer. "While you are here you won't be able to orb within the school walls. This and other rules will be explained at the sorting ceremony in about three hours."

"Sorting?"

"Yes, there are four houses that students are separated into. Slytherine, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. Tonight you will be placed into one of these houses with the others, but unlike the first years you will be starting your sixth year."

"And what am I to do until then?" Wyatt snapped at the old man. Ever since Chris had disappeared Wyatt had had a short temper with everyone even his family. The old man was getting on his nerves and soon if he didn't get out of there he was going to explode.

"Wander around the grounds. There are a lot of things here that your side doesn't know about so why don't you take this time to get to know the place that you will be staying at."

Wyatt glared at him even though he knew he was stuck. He wondered why his father would send him here. Something was off for he could always tell when his father had a plan.

"Also you will need this." Dumbledore held what looked like a white stick. What the hell? Wyatt thought at the old geezer. "It is a wand made for your powers. While you are here you need to at least pretend to use this." With a huff Wyatt called the wand to him. As it orbed to him he suddenly felt a powerful feeling wash over him. "It is made from wiccan herbs and white lighter orbs. It is very powerful and only one like you can use it."

Wyatt gave a nod then stormed out of the office. Dumbledore gave a slight smile.

"He is going to be a challenge."

"Only for a little while," came a figure from behind the wise wizard.

Later that evening

Wyatt had looked through a good portion of the school and yet there seemed to be an endless of amount to this place. Every turn took him to place he had only heard about in fictional stories, but one place truly caught his attention: the library.

The place looked like it would go on forever. He smiled at this for it reminded him of Chris.

Flashback

Magic school was hard for the brothers. Some of the teachers looked at them as protégés while the others looked at them as either threats or spoiled brats. Wyatt could remember a time when one of the teachers was jealous of his powers so he tried to strip him of his powers. He was in third grade. His parents couldn't get there in time, but they were not needed. Chris was the one to save his older brother. For a while the Halliwels thought him to only have one ability besides orbing, but it turned out that he had every ability of an elder. The teacher found this out when he attacked Wyatt and Chris zapped him. After that the teachers took their sides either for or against the brothers.

On the last day of school before summer Wyatt found Chris in the school's library sitting a reading a large book about Magic History. Wyatt was concerned for his little brother. Something must have happened for Chris would only hide in here when he was picked on.

"So what happened?" Wyatt said appearing before Chris.

"Professor Christina gave me a C because she said I was a show off and most of the class agreed with her." Chris said with sadness that Wyatt knew.

"Hey Mom will understand especially since she hates that woman." Wyatt said with a smile. "Maybe we will have a firework show." This made Chris laugh. He mother was very protective of her youngest, but that didn't bother Wyatt for he was just a protective. He knew Piper would have some words for the woman who made her baby cry.

"Also at least you still have your library." Chris's smile grew. It was true. This was Chris's library.

"It is my sanctuary. " Chris said. "Every book is an adventure waiting to happen." Wyatt just shook his head and laughed and Chris joined in.

End Flashback

Wyatt smiled at the memory of his baby brother. He wished for so long that he could take back those hurtful words spoken to him.

"Aren't you suppose to be at the ceremony?" Wyatt was snapped out of the memory when an older woman spoke. When Wyatt looked up at her he knew not to mess with this woman. She had the look of wisdom and authority just like his mom and aunts.

"I'm sorry, I don't know where to go." Wyatt said truthfully. While he had seen many things he had not seen the great hall. She first gave his a skeptical look that was replaced by a look of understanding.

"Follow me, we are waiting for you."

After taking multiple lefts and rights we ended up in front of two huge doors. "You will be sorted last."

The doors opened and what Wyatt saw was amazing. There were candles floating everywhere and the ceiling looked like the night sky. He couldn't help but smile at the beauty. He then noticed the four tables. I guess these are the four houses Wyatt thought. In front of him he saw a grand table where he guessed the teachers sat. He noticed they all had the same look to them except for a fat woman who was wearing a lot of pink. Wyatt already knew he wouldn't like her. He followed the teacher as she motioned for him to stand with the mass amount of little kids in the front. He felt eyes following him as he walked down the middle of the room.

"Welcome to Hogwarts," Dumbledore said with a smile. "for those returning welcome back and now the sorting!" The woman from earlier stood in the front with a parchment that hadn't been used in over two centuries and next to her was a stool with an old hat on it. Wyatt was confused like no other. How is this hat going to sort us… but before he could finish the thought he found out. The first child walked up there and Wyatt saw eyes and a mouth form out of the wrinkles.

"Ahhh…Hufflepuff!" shouted the hat.

"This is defiantly different than Magic school." Wyatt said to himself. After about fifty students Wyatt was the only one left but before his name was called Dumbledore stood up.

"And now I would like everyone to welcome a guest from America who will be in the sixth year. Please welcome Wyatt Matthew Halliwel." A small gasps over came the crowed. I guess they know of me Wyatt gave a small chuckle as he took a seat on the stool. The woman put the hat on his head and a pressure inside his head caught him off guard.

"Oh this is a surprise. Only one other has ever been able to stop me from getting into their head, but then again you are not from this world."

"Just put me somewhere." Wyatt growled. He didn't like the pressure that the hat was causing. He was getting into his head and he didn't like it.

"Hmm….There it is." A snap inside Wyatt's head alerted him that the hat got inside. "Now where to put you? There is a darkness in you and the Slytherine house would help you with that." Wyatt noticed Dumbledore and the woman had a worried look on their faces. "But there is something else. A warmth and love that surpasses even the great Harry Potter."

Before there were murmurs among the students, but now the entire place was silent.

"Especially for your brother." The hat whispered. In a blink of an eye the hat was thrown on the floor and Wyatt was storming out of the hall, but before he could leave he heard one last word.

"Gryffindor!"
