Authoress Note: *smirk* I hope you don't mind me combining the two challenges but I couldn't help but imagining Harry with waist-long hair and pointy ears and suddenly I was dreaming of him, Willow and Legolas. ^^

Prologue 1; Once Upon A Time In California...

Willow looked down at the letter in her hand then glance up at the bird that had delivered it. "Are you sure this is for me?" the seventeen year old girl asked uncertainly.
The owl hooted firmly then took off, leaving the girl on the grassy hill upon which it had found her.
The redhead looked down on the rich parchment letter with her name penned in green ink on it along with her address. She slowly turned it around, gazing at the crest pressed into the wax holding the envelope shut. "Hogwarts?" she mumbled, absentmindedly tapping the edge of the letter against her hand, while trying to remember where she had heard the name before. Of course! She had read about it in that book of Giles' about famous magic schools. She eagerly opened the letter, no longer feeling the warm spring sun on her skin as she focused on the letter. There were several pages in the envelope and she pulled the cream-colored papers out of it and discarded the envelope in her backpack. She blinked, her eyes widening slightly as she started to read.
HOGWARTS SCHOOL FOR WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
Dear Miss Rosenberg
We are pleased to know that you have finally been found. Due to the circumstance around your area of living we have unfortunately not been able to locate you until now. But, thanks to Mr. Rupert Lucifer Giles who informed us of your whereabouts when you first started studying magic for him, we now are able to offer you a place here at Hogwarts. As the usual age of admittance is eleven years we have decided to let you, if you choose to accept, take make-up classes during the summer here at the school so that we may see where to place you, grade-wise. We sincerely hope that you choose to start your magical schooling here at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Please respond by owl as soon as possible so that we may arrange everything. If you wish to ask anything I'm sure Mr. Giles will be kind enough to inform you of what you want to know.
Yours Truly
Albus Dumbledore & Minerva McGonagall
Headmaster & Deputy Headmaster
Willow squealed in delight as she re-read the letter to make sure that is said what she wanted to say. Not finishing the other pages she grabbed her bag and headed for the library to talk with Giles.
Fifteen minutes later Willow, out of breath and flushed, ran into the library where Giles where sorting books. "Giles! Giles!" she called happily waving the letter back and forth. "Look what I got!" she smiled blindingly at the librarian.
The tweed-clad man looked confusedly at the red-haired witch as she hopped around among the shelves. "My word, Willow, is anything the matter?" he asked nervously.
"Nothing's wrong!" the girl exclaimed happily, handing the letter to her friend and mentor.
After scanning the letter Giles looked at Willow and smiled at her. "I take it you want to go then?" he asked somewhat dryly.
Willow nearly knocked herself as she nodded affirmatively.
"I gather you have questions?" the librarian asked, smiling once more at the redhead's enthusiasm as she nodded. "Very well then... Ask away!"
Willow grinned slightly. "Lucifer?"
