"Now all we need to buy is our wands." Chris stated as he gathered his newly bought supplies. Wyatt smiled and looked up at his little brother.
"Wand s! I can't wait! Ollivander's here we come." Wyatt pushed forward and went inside a dark store.
Inside both boys looked around the store. Just as JK Rowling had described the whole store was filled with boxes after boxes. Suddenly the boxes all around the store shook. The lids came off and the wands inside flew up toward the wide-eyed Halliwell brothers. In surprise Wyatt put his blue shield around him and his brother. The wands were in mid air when they started to fire sparks at other wands. Many were destroyed before Chris was able to flick his hand to stop the time.
"Oh my, what a mess." The boys quickly turn toward the voice and came face to face to Ollivander. The aged wizard came out from the back of the store and stared at the brothers hard into their eyes.
"May I ask who you boys are? I don't remember selling my wand to any of your ancestors." The brothers stared at each other not knowing how to answer.
"They are transfer student from America this year. And it seems like they are special in every meaning of the word." Dumbledore replied for them as he too came into the store and saw the wands frozen in time. Ollivander glanced at the Headmaster and nodded his head in understanding. He looked back at the wands that were facing each other as if they were on a duel.
"Strange, very strange. The wands choose their owner but in this case most of the wands I made want you two to be their owner. So much that they will destroy other competitors… Strange indeed." Ollivander inspected one of the broken wands to see if it will be repairable.
"So um your saying the wands was fighting each other so that we can own them?" Chris asked as he watched the wand maker shake a broken wand.
"It does seem so. I have never witness such a thing before. I guess there is a first for everything. It seems that you boys get to choose your own wands."
"Awesome! I want something with Phoenix feather!" Wyatt exclaimed as he jumped up and down. Ollivander and Dumbledore looked at him in curiosity but held their tongues. Chris only shook his head in embarrassment.
"Well then do you have any preference?" Chris looked up in surprise at the wand maker's question.
"Not really." Chris stated quietly as he thought of all the wands that were described in the Series. Just then something caught his eyes. In the center of the room a pure white wand was frozen. The wand had beautiful carvings at the grip and something about it made Chris mesmerized. Wyatt saw that his brother was staring at something and followed his gaze and smiled. Chris always was drawn to the color white. He assumed it was because of how innocent his little brother was. He had sworn few years ago that he would do his best to make sure Chris never looses his pureness.
"Can I see that one?" Chris pointed at the wand.
"Ah 10.5 in. marble with a core of fairy's wing. Excellent for charms. Powerful too." With that Ollivander gently plucked the wand off from mid air and placed it at Chris's waiting hands. As soon as he touched it the multiple color light engulfed everyone in the store.
"Well it seems like the wand likes you." The aging wand maker stared as the light died down.
Wyatt smiled at the look of Chris's face. His little brother looked like he had an early Christmas. So now it was his turn. He looked back at the wands and spotted a box at the end of the store. It was the only box that had not moved. For some reason his pride was hurt. How dare that wand not want him the twice blessed as its master?
"I want that one." Wyatt stated simply as he pointed to the box.
"The only wand that did not move?" Ollivander asked. "Are you sure? This is 11 in. bone of Hungarian Horntail with a core of Runespoor Fang. Very powerful, too powerful. I do not recommend it. The only reason I have this wand is because I had made it when I was just a young wizard trying to create the most powerful wand." He said as he carefully took the box and opened the lid.
Inside was a black wand. Unlike Chris's wand it did not have any markings. And compare to his little brother the wand in the box looked quite plain, and only had a simple grip. Yet something about it made Wyatt shudder. It was powerful. With a smirk Wyatt lifted his hand and took the wand out. Suddenly flames surrounded him. In alarm the rest of the occupants tried to help Wyatt but could not get close because of the heat from the flames.
The heat was also affecting the older Halliwell but that just made him want the wand more. With a tighter grip his tried to tame it. Then the fires diminished and tiny balls of flame danced around him. With a smile he turned to the others in the room.
"You manage to tame it." Ollivander stated in awe. He had thought that the wand would never want an owner yet here was a boy, who manages to take control of it.
Chris stared at his brother and saw an unfamiliar glint in his eyes. When he inspected closer the glint was gone. Confused he just smiled back at his older brother.
"Well now that you got your wand we should get going now." Dumbledore stated as he gave a sign to Ollivander to keep the event that had happen today a secret. The boys paid for their wand and went outside.
"Just who are those boys?" Ollivander wandered out loud.

Outside the store Dumbledore stopped in a middle of an alley. Both Chris and Wyatt had big smiles on their face as thy looked at their newly acquired wands. Dumbledore stared at them as he thought of the event that had occurred in the wand store. Such young boys to be able to have such power. Yet it surprised him that their wands were so opposite from each other. Wands with core of fairy wing were very useful with pure magic such as charms and healing. Wands with core of Runespoor fang were useful in Dark magic such as hexes and curses. It had surprised the aging Headmaster that the older Halliwell would be compatible with such wand. Especially since he seemed so caring and loving to those around him.
"We need to go back to Hogwarts now. Since your way of transportation seems to work will you take me along?" Ever since the Headmaster had seen the boys orb he had anted to know how they were doing it.
"Of course! First let us send our stuff back to your office." Wyatt stated and both the Halliwell brother waived their hands and the luggage disappeared in tiny blue lights. Then the boys came and gently grabbed the wizard hands and orbed themselves to the circular office.
When Dumbledore had wanted to feel how orbing worked this was not what he had expected. Unlike apparition orbing had filled him with peace and joy. There were small tinkling noises that soothed all his troubles away. Even as all three of them had arrives at his office he kept his eyes closed to keep experiencing that feeling. Now that he had felt what it was like to orb he did not know if he could use any other transportation. When he had finally opened his eyes the boys were talking excitedly together as they looked at the thing that they had bought at Diagonal Alley. All the magic they used always had the same calm feeling. From the bright light that had merged the two worlds together to orbing all their magic seem so pure. So would it be all right for him to tell them of the Order? Such power would be so helpful in the help with War against Tom. But it also brought him worries. So far the only people that knew the worlds had merged were he and the Halliwells and have course the Angel of Destiny. But how long will it be for others to find out? If Voldemort ever found out… No the boys will have to fix the problem and once again separate the two worlds before too much is known.
"I would like to remind you that you should not use your magic unless absolutely is necessary. Now that Destiny had erased all the professors' memories I'm going to have to introduce you to them at dinner today. Chris you are going to be in 4th year and Wyatt you are going to in 5th year. You'll be sorted with the 1st year at the beginning of the school feast. But until then both of you will sleep in the room that we had provided before." Dumbledore stated.
"So are we just going to self study?" Chris asked.
"No. Every weekday a different professor will come and tutor you in your studies." Dumbledore smiles as Chris nodded his head.
"If that's so can we be excused to our rooms now?" Wyatt asked as he gently rubbed his wand in his hand.
"Of course. I'll have one of the house elf to help you."

"So first things first. We need to find out what the change destiny is so that we can fix it." Chris stated as soon as the House elf had left them alone in their room.
"Come on lil bro let find that out after the school year starts. Besides I have a strong sense that it going to be us helping Harry defeat Voldemort." Wyatt answered back as he bounced on his bed.
"I don't know. I don't think we should involve ourselves in their war. That would merge too much." Chris stated as he neatly organized his things in the closet. He wasn't too sure what Destiny had wanted them to do. Was it fulfill the changed destiny or make it so the changed destiny wont have a lasting effect in the two worlds. Chris just sighed as he stared at the beautiful wand that he had bought. He truly wanted to orb back home and show his mother his possession.
"Wyatt when are we orbing back home?"
"What you miss home already? Your 14 now and besides you have me!" Wyatt said with a grin.
"No! I just wanted mom to see our new wands." Chris explained himself.
"Huh? I didn't even think of showing to mom. Oops don't tell mom k?" He said as he lay back on his bed.
"I wonder what Hogwarts will be like?"
"At least now we get to experience it lil bro!"

Dinnertime came quickly. The Halliwell brothers were escorted by the same house elf to the great hall. As soon as they entered the conversation in the hall quieted down as the professors watched in curiosity who the two new transfer students were. Most of the professors smiled while some expressed absolutely no emotion.
Dumbledore stood from the center and spoke.
"Everyone please welcome our new students Chris Halliwell and Wyatt Halliwell. They are here during the summer so that they can catch up with our curriculum. Both were home schooled since young age in America and thus need so guidance. I hope that it won't be too much of a bother." With that the Headmaster sat and winked at the brothers.
"Isn't this such a short notice Headmaster?" Snape asked as he scowled at them. For some strange reason he felt that he had already met them from somewhere. And his intuition told him to be wary of them. Ever since the return of the Dark Lord he had to be more careful with people around him.
"Yes it is but I have a feeling that they would do many great things at Hogwarts this year." Dumbledore replied as he started eating.
Wyatt stared at Snape. He had felt something was amiss but did not know what. When he had gotten his wand something was also amiss then but he dismissed it. And even now the feeling was gone as fast it had come. He wasn't sure if he should tell Chris but decided that it was nothing.
Chris stared at Wyatt. The glint that he had faintly saw at the wand shop was again there in his brother's eyes. He wasn't sure what it was though. And before he could decide what it is it was gone. For a moment he thought the glint looked strangely similar to what he had seen in demons' eyes. But how could that be after all it was his brother. His idiotic, loud mouth, annoying yet very brave and loyal, twice blessed brother. How can he ever be evil?
