A/N: I'm sorry for all the time it has taken me to update this. I've been having really bad computer problems, and couldn't get this posted. I should be able to get another chapter or two posted before I leave for camp, but after that I won't be able to update for another three weeks. I already have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do with this story, but if there is anything you would like to have happen, e-mail me at buffyandcharmedfanhotmail.com and I'll consider it. Thanks again for reading this, and I hope you like it!

Chapter 3-Chaos
The entire magic school sat in the auditorium, waiting for Gideon to begin his speech. Rumors were circulating like wildfire. A few of the pre- schoolers had to leave the room after hearing terrifying things about being taken away from their families by the government. Even the teachers had given up their usual habit of trying to keep everyone quiet, and were discussing what could be done.
When Gideon stepped onto the stage, the entire room fell silent. Everyone stared up at him eagerly. "I'm afraid I don't have very good news," he began. "The other Elders and I can think of nothing to do. World governments are asking to speak with the "head of the magical world." The whitelighter of the witch who was taped told them of us, and they are in a meeting right now. From what I've heard, the Elders decided they must tell the entire story, which includes this school, so that the countries wouldn't do anything stupid, like try to contact demons. Hopefully, we can erase all their memories, or at least reach an agreement. As for the fate of the school, I don't know what will happen."
The room was silent. No one moved an inch. Everyone was thinking of what could happen to their world if regular people started interfering.

After the assembly, the students were sent back to class. Wyatt couldn't believe they had to. No one was going to be able to learn anything after that. He soon found out that he was absolutely correct. Even his strictest teacher, Professor Anderson, couldn't concentrate on what he was trying to teach his class. He soon let everyone just talk with each other, as he read the huge stack of newspapers on his desk, trying to get more information.
A few minutes later, a voice from the back of the room asked, "Professor, why can't the Elders just erase everyone's memories? I've seen my family's whitelighter do it all the time." The rest of the students nodded in agreement with her. "Well Sarah," Professor Anderson began. "If we had found out about this sooner, we might have been able to erase the memory of the reporter, or maybe even the entire staff at the newspaper. But once the whole world knows about it, it's impossible to fix." "But Professor, shouldn't there be enough whitelighters in the world to fix it?" Wyatt's best friend Brian asked. Professor Anderson sighed. "I'm afraid not, Brian," he responded. "The Elders have never attempted such an enormous job. No one knows what could happen if the entire world had its memories erased. People could forget who they are, or worse, the plan could backfire and the world governments could believe we were trying to attack them. This could lead to a war, which means that not only would witches be busy protecting themselves, but demons and warlocks could do what they pleased with no interventions."
The class sat silently, thinking about what the Professor had just told them. If the Elders made the wrong move, the magical world would be in chaos. However, if everyone knew about magic, it would be hard to fight demons.
Amber, who sat next to Wyatt, leaned over and whispered to him and
Brian. "I'm glad I'm not an Elder right now. One wrong decision
and every person on the side of good could be killed!" "Yeah," Wyatt added. "Plus, they also have the innocents to think of. Without witches, there would be no one to stop demons. Regular people just don't understand. They would probably think they can destroy all demons with guns and bombs. But they can't!" "Do you really think that's going to happen?" Brian asked his friends. "I don't know what to think," Amber answered sadly, looking down at her shoes. "This is just too confusing!" Wyatt nodded along as Amber talked. It was going to be a long day.

Meanwhile, in the Elder's meeting, there was a huge debate going on. "We can't agree to their demands!" an Elder argued. "Who knows what they have planned." "Exactly!" another Elder fired back. "If we don't give them an answer, they might think we are the evil ones. They could start something horrible. Do you remember back in the year 1999, when we sent the Charmed Ones to the future? Their whitelighter Leo reported that in that future, magic was exposed. The people had begun a modern-day witch hunt! We can't have witches burned at the stake! This is 2019!" "Enough!" an older member of the council shouted. The others all fell back silently. "This is a very serious matter. We can't start arguing with each other. It is our responsibility to ensure the protection of the magical world. There must be a rational way to solve this problem. If we can all cooperate, we should be able to discover it before anyone is harmed."
