Chapter six
Camp and Graduation
The headmaster of magic school, Mr. Grey, stood on the stage in the large gym that was normally used for spell casting. Today however it was being used for the graduation ceremony. Those who were fourteen or older and had completed their witch and other training as well as passed the final exam in witches class were graduating. The majority of students finished all this by the age of fourteen, however could attend magic school until the age of eighteen.
The family were all seated in the crowd proudly. When Wyatt's name was called he walked onto that stage with such confidence. He received his wand, which was the magic version of a diploma. Wands were only allowed to be owned by those who graduated from magic school, it amplified one's powers not that Wyatt needed it. Wyatt walked back to his family who all congratulated him.
At seven that night the family except Wyatt were seated in the gym of the elementary school. Wyatt was back stage waiting anxiously for his name to be called. It was his eighth grade graduation, which meant in the fall he would be starting high school.
"Dakota Sanders" Principle George called out.
Wyatt and Chris's friend Dakota walked onto the stage with a proud smile on her face. Dakota had really changed and grown up over the years. She was tall, with long straight light brown hair. She was a beauty who already knew how to act like a teenager.
"Kennedy Wild!"
Wyatt and Chris's friend Kennedy walked onto the stage looking a little nervous. She still looked like a child of twelve years. She was very beautiful though and had a sweetness to her.
"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell!"
Piper Leo stood up cheering as their son walked onto that stage. He shook his principal's hand and received his diploma. Before existing the stage he was required to make a speech.
"I have been coming to this school, Westcott Elementary, since I was four years old. I have grown from a small shy boy into who I am today. I have great memories here and I miss coming to school here everyday. I have had great teachers and wonderful friends. Thank you Principal George and all the teachers I've had through the years for helping get to where I am today. I will always remember you and appreciate all that you've done for me" Wyatt said with huge confidence.
"We will miss having you here Wyatt, you are a wonderful young man" Principal George replied.
Wyatt joined his family and watched the rest of his classmates, including Austin, Carter and even Wesley, walk onto the stage. To celebrate his two graduations they family went out for supper at the Halliwell's. Graduating from elementary school wasn't as a big deal as graduating high school but it was an important step in growing up.
That Summer Henry Jr. Really wanted to attend a mortal summer camp. Though this surprised his parents they singed him up for the day camp. Since Magic camp was once again cancelled, the adults decided to sign up the other children except Wyatt who was to old, and the babies along with Paris who were too young. Not all the children wanted to go, but the adults really needed a break from them during summer vacation.
When they arrived at the camp Melinda spotted Alyssa and ran over to her. The other children didn't have friends who were at the camp. So they stuck together, except for Chris who wanted to be as far away from them as possible. He didn't want to be seen hanging out with little kids, he believed he was to old but twelve was the oldest age allowed at camp.
Henry was having a great time being able to connect with mortal kids like himself. Melinda, Kat, P.J., Parker and Payton were not having fun but were making due with what they had. Chris, Preston and Tamora wouldn't stay another minute and orbed straight home. The adult let them since they had given mortal camp a try. Patty was actually enjoying herself, being only three she was one of the youngest campers.
The first half of the day was spent playing organized activities such as soccer and archery. After lunch they had to stand in a circle and sang camp songs. Kat and Payton didn't want any part of this so they went home, and no even noticed they left.
Payton made it most of the day, but when it came to dress up time she was out of there. She had found the angel, cupid and witch costumes very offensive and unrealistic. Melinda almost went home but made it through the day with Henry Jr., P.J. and Patty. So out of the ten kids who had gone, only four made it through the entire day. The next day only two out of those four went back, which was Henry Jr. and little Patty.
(Sorry it's so short I got writer's block. Also want to remind you all I have a wikkia Page for this fan-fiction. wiki/MyCharmedfanfictioncharacterinformation_Wikia. I try to edit it every change I get to get rid of grammar and spelling errors so be patient. I don't have much info on characters who are not part of the Halliwell/Mitchell family or who are dead I will attempt to fix that sometime soon. Also the reason it takes me so long to write it because I'm in grade 12 now and have a lot of homework, I used to have a spare last year which I used to write but I no longer have that spare. Also the lack of comments on this fan-fiction was discouraging me from writing since I go my the number of comments I have to determine how you're all liking it. I don't want to waste my time writing if no one is reading them anymore)
