When Creatures Meet

Chapter 2

An eleven-year-old Lily looks down at the letter that was sent on thick parchments, like the kind Uncle Aro likes to use instead of the more modern paper. 'Weird why did Uncle Aro write me a letter? Why would he address it?' Looking at the letter she read the front of the envelope.

                                                                         'Lilith (Lily) Evans-Volturi

                                                                                     Volterra, Italy

                                                                                     Volturi Castle

                                                                          Fourth largest Bedroom' 

Confused on how the letter was addressed she turned it over to see the little doodle that Uncle always draws only to find a wax seal with, 'what is that name?' She squints to make it out and it says Hogwash. 'Hogwash? What the heck? Ohhhh! Hogwarts!! That school mom always talked about!' Lily smiles and starts to jump up and down "Yes. Yes! Yes!!" she shouts and runs toward the throne room. Only to run into Jane as soon as she is out the door. "Oww. Jane, what the heck?" Jane quickly catches Lily before she falls to the ground after she bounced off of her when she ran into her. "Lily are you okay? Princess, you have to be more careful." Jane scolds. "What is that?" Jane asks, pointing to the letter in her hand. "Oh... this." Lily says "This is my Hogwarts letter, Jane!! I have to show Uncle Aro this is so exciting I have been hoping and waiting for this letter for years Janey!" Jane raises an eyebrow at the nickname Lily has not used in a couple of years. "Alright, Princess. I will get you to the throne room." Jane smiles as she grabs the princess in a bridal hold and runs to the throne room. "Master Aro," Jane says calmly as she carefully places Princess Lily down on her feet. "Uncle Aro. I got it. I got my letter." Lily says excitedly.
