Moominvalley (Snufkin x OC)

The Sudden Arrival

Lulamoon had physically stopped breathing when she read the letter that Calcifer had given her. She reread it over and over just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

It was a letter from her mother. Telling her that she was coming to Moomin Valley.

The young witch immediately started running to Moomin House as fast she could. Snufkin saw her run by and immediately knew something was wrong and got up to follow her.

Lulamoon knocked frantically on the front door and Moominpapa answered. "Lulu? What's the matter my girl?"

"M-my mother!" She panted out. "My mother is on her way here!"

"Really? That's wonderful! Mama!" Moominpapa turned to call for his wife. Moomin came downstairs at the same time that Snufkin reached the house.

"Yes? What is it dear?" Moominmama asked when she walked out of the kitchen.

"Lulu said that her mother I coming to Moomin Valley."

"How lovely! Oh, we must invite her to lunch! What should we have? I have to plan!" Mama immediately turned and went back into the kitchen.

"What's going on? Lulu's mother is coming?" Moomin asked and Papa nodded. He smiled excitedly. "I can't wait to meet her!"

Snufkin was silent. He knew what her mother was like, having read her letters. He knew that it probably wasn't a good thing that she's coming. "She's probably going to try and make Lulu go back." He told them. Lulamoon nodded in quick agreement.

"Go back?" Moomin questioned. "You mean to your old home?"

"Yes." Said Lulamoon. "She's never liked that I moved here. I'm sure that she'll try to make me go home with her!"

Papa hummed in thought. "Well we can't have that. We'll just have to show her how much you belong here! You're family after all!" Lulamoon eyes watered at that and Snufkin gently held her hand. She was so happy!

They weren't given much time to prepare, because Moominpapa could see someone flying towards them on a broom. They all stepped outside and watched as the she landed and hopped off her broom. She looked a lot like Lulamoon but her hair was short and her eyes were a vibrant green. She was about as tall as Filyjonk.

"Uh, Hello!" Papa quickly greeted her. "You must be Lulu's mother!"

"Lulu?" She muttered and turned to her daughter. "Is that what they call you?"

The younger nodded. "I-its my nickname."

Her mother eyed her before turning to the others. "Yes, I am her mother. My name is Willow. You must be the Moomins?"

"Oh yes! I'm Moominpapa and this is my son Moomin and his friend Snufkin." Papa introduced them. Moomin waved while Snufkin just nodded. "My wife is getting lunch ready. We'd like you to join us!"

Willow sighed. "If I must." She didn't sound very interested.

They all walked into the house and got seated around the dinning table. Papa sat at the end of the table while Willow sat at the other end. Lulamoon sat to her mother's left and Snufkin sat next to her. Moomin sat across from Lulamoon on Willow's right.

Papa cleared his throat and started up a conversation. "I must say, it's very nice to finally meet you! Lulamoon is such a sweet girl. We always were curious on where she was from."

"My house isn't to far from the Lonely Mountains. But it's far enough away that coming here isn't an easy trip." Willow told him.

"Yes, of course. And you are a witch as well?"
