This is low-key based on Wizard of Waverly Place, more like the tone of the show. So expect some cheesy stuff and yes it was because I was watching the show. This will take place after season 4. So this is my version of season 5. Obviously it’s not going to follow the original plot at all. This has not been edited!
The hum of the moving vehicle was the only thing that kept the serenity of the atmosphere. Other than that, there was much tension inside the car. It wasn’t a car per say, but to a regular human eye. It would look like one. It was magic that was running it. —You were tired and were ready to settle into your new home. For some search reason, instead of the bustling streets of New York City or the sunny streets of California. Even New Orleans for goodness sake. Your parents decided on Hawkins, Indiana. Nothing bustling or sunny about this place. Your sisters were more accustomed to the constant moving. It was easy for them to leave things behind. Even if it was family.
“Everything is going to be okay, mija. You worry too much.” Your mother said, you were in the backseat with both of your sisters. You shook your head, maybe you should have chosen going to college. Than trying to continue the family business. But here you were.
“Why did we travel here? Why didn’t we just teleport there? All this traveling is making my ears pop.” Carmen, your little sister said.
“She has a point, the magical system would have taken us there faster. Than this sad excuse for a car.” Your other sister, Maite said. The car honked by itself, letting them know it was annoyed.
“Because it is much harder to explain to people how we magically just pop up out of nowhere. It’s a small town.” Your mom explained.
“I agree with mom. It’ll cause a panic and we’ll have to zap right back to New York.” Your brother Javier said. Your dad was too busy watching the road.
“What’s wrong with that? New York was better and we could have easily hid our powers.” You said
“We had to leave okay. You know why.” Your dad said finally.
A deafening silence filled the air. No one said anything for a while. No one wanted to talk about what happened back in New York. And you sure weren’t going to open your mouth to relive it. You made your mistakes back in New York. The reason for the move was the biggest and most painful one. You stood silent in the back of the car, creating a private room in the car.
Tears fell down your face, oh how you wish you things were different. You might have ended up in NYU with Lexi. You might have had been living a different life. No one tried to enter the room you created and for the rest of the car ride. You stayed there.
Steve Harrington really needed to catch a damn break, Dustin and Mike were going on and on about their relationships. How happy they were. At one point, he began to mock them by miming them with his hands and speaking like them.
“Aww, don’t be like that Steve. You’ll find your happily ever after.” Lucas said, noticing his favorite babysitter actions. Steve rolled his eyes. “One day.” Lucas put his hand on Steve’s shoulder. The boys all laughed and he shrugged Lucas’s hand off.
“When did you guys become such assholes?” Steve asked, the boys just laughed at him again. He shook his head, and closed the register. Robin came in with the vhs tapes the boys came in for.
“Okay, you do know our return policy. As well as how long you can rent it out for.” Once their attention went towards Robin, Steve grabbed the cart and began to restock the shelves.
“Just don’t make it obvious, Javier. That’s all.” You said as you walked into family video.
“Yeah I know, I’m not you. I’m the mature and responsible one.” He said, you rolled your eyes and went towards one of the shelves.
“When have I not been mature and responsible? Like yes, I accidentally flushed your favorite book. Then your- your lizard. Then Deliana. Yes I made a big mess of things in New York. Which yes may have lead us to this move.” You winced as you tried to find the silver lining of it.
“That literally shows how irresponsible and immature you are.” He said, you glared at your brother and walked away from him. Steve spotted you and instantly the world became one person. No one else seemed to be in the room but you. You saw him and it felt like the world stopped.
“Y/n?” Your brother said.
“Steve? You die over there?” Robin said. Steve smiled at you and you smiled back. Before you guys could say any words. Your brother grabbed you by your hand and dragged you out.
“Actually, I don’t want to watch a movie anymore.” He said. You looked at him in distraught.
Steve frowned as he watched you leave. There was always someone blocking him from a girl. Always. He really needed a goddamn break.
“Volant sicut pluma.” You motioned your hand towards your sister. Carmen began to fly into the air, she began to shriek. A laughter slipped your lips.
“Put me down!” Carmen screamed, you motioned your hands back and forth. Watching as she went this way and that. “Put! Me! Down!”
“Y/n, put your sister down!” Your dad said, you immediately set your sister down. He shakes his head and turns to the board behind him.
Every since you graduated high school, you had the chose of going to college or continuing your witch studies. You decided on the latter, which as you’ve mentioned before. You wish you had chosen the former.
“Volant Pluma is a popular spell. One that can be used when trying to make someone fly in the air. Or when you need to fly in the air.” Your dad explained. You wrote down notes but your mind was on the cute boy you saw at Family Video.
“Y/n? Y/n! Are you listening?” Your dad asks.
“Yes, yes sorry. Volant pluma very popular. Makes you or someone else fly. Depending on how you use it. Can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Like they all are.” You said, reading off of your notes.
He smiles at you and nods along. The first smile he’s given you since you arrived at Hawkins. Your heart leaps for a second. No matter how many times you’ve disappointed him. He still held love for you. It hurt that you kept disappointing him. But it was like a moth to a flame. It was easy to do the wrong thing.
“Okay, enough for the day. You two will have your studies less frequent. You still have middle and high school to get too.” He pointed towards Maite and Carmen.
“You two, well since college wasn’t on the board for you. Professor Nightblood will be continuing your lessons.”
“Professor Nightblood?! Why can’t you do it?” Javier exclaimed, he and Nightblood went back in a terrible history. She didn’t particularly like him. And always gave him more work to do than you.
“Yes, she promised to not be biased. I have other responsibilities that I need focus on. She’ll pop in for her weekly sessions.” Your dad said, as he spoke you could tell his mind was elsewhere. The way he spoke so matter of factually made it evident.
The class was dismiss and you decided to try and explore the town more. It was better than being cooped up in the house when there was nothing to do. Maybe you’ll even get a job. You walked out of the house and start for your car. Your dad had allowed you to magic up a car for yourself. It was a blue car, it glinted in the light. You smiled as you went inside, you did a great job.
Once you made it into town, you looked around for any help wanted signs. Only finding the one by the flower shop. That would do. In fifteen minutes, you managed to get a job. Maybe this will finally show your dad how responsible you were. You decided to head to family video. That cute boy, you hoped to be there.
“Lindsey is cool and all. But she’s just- just I know she’s not the one. Ya know.” Steve said, Robin was placing the vhs tapes back onto the shelves. Listening to him speak about yet another disaster of romance. She sighed and turned to him.
“Maybe, you just need to let the right girl find you.” The moment she said that, the bell of the door jingled and in you walked. You looked around the store until you spotted them. You smiled and walked over.
Steve could feel his heart pounding. You were so pretty, it wasn’t fair. He couldn’t look away, not even for a second. Your smile was as if the sun had come down from the sky, and decided to place itself onto your lips. He could melt from it.
“Hey. I’m y/n l/n. I was meaning to introduce myself earlier. But my shitbag of a brother decided to act like he detasted movies.”
Steve didn’t realize he was just smiling until Robin spoke up for him.
“Hey, I’m Robin. Robin Buckley. This mouth breather is Steve Harrington.” She said, a big smile on her face. She seemed sweet, she reminded you a bit of your best friend back home. Lucy had been the sweetest person you knew. Your heart ached at the thought of her.
“I’m Steve.” Steve said, he still had the goofy grin on his face. One he wished he could put away but he didn’t know how. He was embarrassing himself, he knew it. But he couldn’t help it.
“What brings you to a small town in Indiana?” Robin asked, seemingly trying to help him make things less awkward.
“Hawkins.” Steve said, he wanted to cringe. How did he get so bad at this. He saw the way you rose your eyebrows at him. The way Dustin did when he had said something considered dumb. His heart sank.
“My parents thought it was a good idea we move.” You had suddenly went from being very present in the conversation. To having a far away look in your eye. He recognized it, it was the same look Max had when Vecna was invading her mind. He knew that wasn’t the whole truth.
“Well, I’m glad they decided on Hawkins. We wouldn’t have met otherwise.” Steve said, Robin actually looked pleased by what he had said. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as he thought he’d become.
“Yeah, I feel almost like it’s destiny.” He said, smirking at you. You looked at him with stars in your eyes. He could tell, he knew the kind of affect he had on girls.
Robin took that as her cue to walk away. Realizing the two of you were being to flirt. But before she could, someone came into the store. It was your brother, Steve could see he was out of breath. He slid down onto the floor and was heaving.
Steve turned to you and saw your eyebrows were raised.
“I found you! How could you leave me with Professor-.” He stopped in his tracks and looked at Steve and Robin.
“With dad! He was- let’s go!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” You said, rolling your eyes and walking away. Following her brother out the door.
“You’re being cock blocked.” Robin said, pointing out the obvious to him. Steve glared at her.
Once you made it home, professor Nightblood began her lesson on potions. It was a bit boring. But now you had some kind of conversation with Steve. Now you knew his name. You gladly participated in class.
You were beginning to be suspicious of your sister Carmen. She had made friends with a few people in Hawkins. But something felt odd.
“Hey Carmen.” You said, unintentionally sounding menacing. You shook your head but continued to look at her.
“Hey, Y/n. What-what do you want?” She asked, she was holding one of the objects from the study room. The one connected to the magic world. She held it in her hands delicately. But you knew it wasn’t supposed to be outside the room.
“Carmen, what did dad say about taking stuff out of the study room?” You asked, eyebrows raised. Carmen merely pouted and looked down.
“He said not to take anything.” She said. She looked up at you with fear in her eyes.
“Exactly, now why is it outside of the study?” You asked another question. This one was the more important question.
“I-I I was trying to show it to my new friend. But I promise! I promise I was going to put it back.”
The meanest in you deflated quickly. It wasn’t entirely your fault either. Stupid demon side. Always getting in the way.
“Carmen, you know you’re not supposed to do that. You could have done something dangerous. We left New York to get away from danger. Not cause it.” You explained, Carmen gently put the object back down.
“She wanted to see for herself. That we have magic. But I-.”
“You told a mortal about magic!”
Carmen cringed at the way you stared at her. Not menacing but with full on panic.
“Yeah- yeah but she- she told me that she knows about this kind of stuff.” Carmen paused. “She has her own powers.”
You stood there for a minute, your brother Javier walked in the room. He held a big bounded book. He looked up to see the scene in front of him. Carmen wide eyed and you were shaking your head.
“Carmen told her friend about magic.” Carmen turned to her brother. He looked at her incredulously.
“Yeah but she also has her own powers! I didn’t think it would be a problem. She and her friends need my help. Our help.” Javier put his hand on his forehead, leaving the book the table.
Her friends, who what also have their own powers? Because if not, you just exposed us to mortals!” Carmen looked embarrassed and it hurt your heart to see her like that. But mortals being exposed to magic had dire consequences. Ones that could strip any and all witches or wizards of their powers.
A knock was at your front door, you all paused to listen. Carmen gulped, you began to move to answer it. But Javier was faster than the two of you.
“Hey, I’m El. I’m here to see Carmen.”
