Every pair of eyes is now staring at Chris like they never know Chris before. In fact, they'd never saw this side of Chris before. It had never crossed their mind that there is such inferior feeling inside Chris toward his big brother until now. Leo could never imagine there is so much of emotion suppressed inside his fourteen years old son. They watched the brunette boy stormed out the room, anger taking over as he strode straight towards the staircase and to his bedroom.
"Chris!" Leo called after him.
His call was ignored though, he watched his son slammed the door furiously and out of sight. Leo couldn't help but allow himself to let out a sigh as he sat down on the couch, running a hand through his blond hair.
"For now, I think we should leave him alone." Piper making her way to the couch and sat beside his husband. Leo watched as she sat and he gave his wife a small smile, but couldn't muster up anything more.
"Do you think I'm being too harsh and overprotective for Chris?" Leo asked.
"Of course not, honey! You just don't want anything bad happens to our son, I understand that. I felt the same way too, I don't want him to get hurt by any chance."
"It is extremely hard for me not to worry about Chris. He is my son, I have to constantly worry about him, especially his powers."
"I know, Leo. I know."
It is not that Leo thinks that Chris is weak, deep inside Leo knew very well that Chris is a very powerful witch. At first, Leo thought that Wyatt would have more difficulty in controlling and containing his enormous powers. Both Leo and Piper had paid more attention in training Wyatt's powers since his powers have more firepower and violence. But soon Leo found that Chris' passive powers are far more dangerous and caused much more serious damage compared to Wyatt's powers. Well, thanks to his ex-Elder status, it had caused Chris' power heightened and have an extensive range. Until now Leo couldn't help to blame himself that he had caused so many burdens on Chris' shoulders.
The sisters and Wyatt can only see and communicate with the death spirits in which their death was caused by magic or supernatural force. But Chris is different, Chris can communicate with the death spirits whether their death cause is magical or non-magical. According to Chris, the non-magical death spirits are still wandering around the earth because they have unfinished business with the living. They came to Chris for help and Chris offered them his help so that they can cross over in peace. They almost caused Chris a traumatized childhood. Their presence and their emotion almost crushed Chris. Some of them even tried to hurt Chris when Chris refuse to help them. The sister and Wyatt cast a spell that placed a powerful barrier to prevent any death spirit enter the manor. But Chris knows that the anti-ghost barrier will not solve his problem. Therefore, he tried very hard to face them and appease the death as he grows up. And now he does have a good relationship with the death.
Then after few months, Chris' astral projection power had slowly came to him. It seems like Chris had his latest power under his control after Wyatt personally trained him. But his parents and Chris himself have no idea that his astral projection power has an extensive which make Chris a dreamwalker. One day morning, Piper found that Chris was overslept and she asked Wyatt's help to wake his brother. That is when Wyatt found that he couldn't wake his little brother up from his sleep. It took them two weeks to find out that their youngest son was lost in the dream world and put Chris in a coma for two whole weeks. It scared them out of the hell. Though now Chris has full control of all his powers, Leo still afraid the same thing will happen to him again.
Is it the right call to let Chris attend Hogwarts?
Will he be alright by himself?
Will something similar happen to him in Hogwarts?
Will someone help him if something happens to him?
"Don't worry, he will think through it, he always does. He just needs time to cool off his head." Piper told his husband. She can tell what his husband has been thinking of and she gave him a comforting and assuring grin.
Leo realized that his wife was right. The whole family is worried about Chris but if they went after Chris now, no doubt he would just try to push them away. The best thing to do now is let the boy cool down and return, then they could talk
Chris made his way up the staircase to his bedroom, slamming the door angrily behind him. Chris leaned against the door and slid it down it to sit on the floor. Chris just couldn't believe it after all these years of proving himself, his family still treat him like a kid. It is so unfaired that Wyatt always got to do as he wanted, whereas Chris always needs someone by his side and be extra careful whenever he participated in the vanquish. And sometimes Chris felt that he is useless to his family. As long as Wyatt was there, their demonic problem will automatically solve, they don't need him at all. For the first time in fourteen years, he lost his temper to his family. Groaning, his family probably would think he was acting like a spoiled teenager.
After a moment of silence, he tried to calm himself down and trying to think the situation over rationally. He still couldn't believe he yelled at his family like that. Chris had felt bad about that, but he had just been so angry. Once he decided to apologize to his family, he dematerialized in a swirl white and blue orbs and found himself standing in the living room.
"Mom, dad, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't yell at you guys but I just so angry and I lost my temper. "
"It's okay, my peanut. We forgive you." Piper said as she hugged his son.
"Yeah, you just got your temper from your mother, son," Leo stated.
"I heard that!" Piper protested.
"Chris, may I know why you wanted to go to Hogwarts?" Leo wanted to hear his son out.
"I never felt something like this. I can felt that someone is calling for my help, and the call is so strong I couldn't resist. I can felt that they are desperate, they needed my help. And for the first of my life, I felt like I not entirely useless, I actually can help these people. " Chris remained silent before he hesitantly responded to Leo's question.
"But honey, you already helped lots of people, you are not useless," Piper assured his son.
"I know, what I meant is I wanna help actual, real live people beside the dead ones. At first, I thought moody due to ringings in my ears, but after I meet the headmaster and suddenly I know what should I do. And I wanted to learn some new magic, maybe it will do us some good in vanquishing demons and evils" Chris stated firmly.
Chris watched nervously as his father is reconsidering his words. Leo knows that Chris is still waiting for his answer and he can see his son's determination ni his jade green eyes which look so similar with his owns and yet completely opposite. He knew he needs to let his son go someday, but he just never imagined that day will come to him so soon. It is hard to let him go but he had to, for his son's sake. Look at bright side, his son is going to study aboard, he should be proud of his son.
"Okay. Leo said as he nodded his head.
"Really, dad? I actually can go?" Chris asked in surprised.
"Yes, you going to Hogwargts, Chris." Leo assured Chris.
"Thanks, dad." Chris hugged his dad happily.
"Leo, are you sure?" Piper asked too.
"Don't worry, we still have some times before the semester starts, I will personally train and make sure Chris will be capable of defending himself. " Wyatt instantly knew what's worrying his mother, thus Wyat volunteered himself become Chris' magic tutor.
"Thanks, Wyatt. You're the best. "
"Well, what should I say? Make me proud, son." Piper smiled at his younger son.
