Letters

Six letters were discovered in the mail by one Duo Maxwell, he is a young man about fourteen years old, with a long chestnut braid and blue-violet eyes. He sorted the mail into five piles which he placed at five of the six places at the table that would soon be filled with people eating breakfast. When that was finished he started making that breakfast.

An hour later Duo was finishing breakfast for everyone and putting it on the table, it was a simple breakfast of pancakes and eggs. As everyone else in the house started joining the table. The first to join was Wufei Chang, a fifteen year old young man, of Chinese decent with shoulder length black hair tied back in a pony tail. He greeted Duo with a hug before taking his seat and looking through his mail, as Quatre and Trowa came in and took their seats giving soft greetings to both Wufei and Duo. They too started looking through their mail as they sat down at the table.

Duo finished bringing breakfast over to the table as Ami and Heero entered the room and murmured there greetings to those present. Heero, a young man fifteen years old with short messy black hair, pulled his and Ami's mail to him and Ami. He had just finished looking through it when Duo set a plate down in front of Ami saying, "Just thought you could use an easy morning after last night."

"Thank-you Duo." Ami, a young girl of thirteen with her reddish black hair hanging loose to the middle of her back and brownish green eyes, replied, "Now all I have to worry about is whether or not that mail has any very bad news in it."

"You're welcome." Duo said, smiling as he sat down next to Wufei.

The meal was quiet as most meals are in this house, especially as Ami and Quatre came in late from their latest assignment and the strange envelope that everyone got this morning. As the meal wound down Ami asked, "Heero what's in the mail today?"

"Well, there's a letter, looks like I got the same one for you and that's pretty much it. Would you like me to read it for you?" Heero responded.

"Yes, please." Ami replied.

"Alright. It reads; 'Ami Winner-Yui, You have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please reply to this letter no later than July 31st. Enclosed is a list of supplies you will need. Thank-you, Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Heero read.

Everyone else at the table quickly read through their own strange letters determining that they were the same as Ami's. Duo said, "I don't know about you all but mine says the same that Ami's does, but what does this mean?"

Everyone quickly agreed. "Does anyone know about this school, so we can decide if we should go?" Quatre, the blond haired blue eyed thirteen year old, asked.

"I know some about it, Heero does too, but I'll explain the little we know. Just for proof we'll have to write Professor McGonagall to be shown magic as we are all underage, so please don't ask for proof from me. Basically Hogwarts is a school where young people from age eleven to seventeen go to learn to control their magic. They learn spells and potions and things wizards and witches need to know. If I remember right it is a castle and boarding school. For more write to that Professor McGonagall and see if there's something for people new to the world, or in some cases re-entering the world." Ami explained.

"That's probably the best idea. I'll write the letter for us all, so hopefully there will only be on return letter." Quatre said, "Well I'm going to go work on some of the paper work I seem to have amassed while away."

"Thank-you Quatre. Now I'm off to write up mine and Quatre's last assignment, Duo don't get in too much trouble. Oh and Lady wishes to see Trowa, Heero and Duo. Sorry Wufei I guess you're going to be stuck here taking care off the workaholic and me." Ami joked moving towards the office she and Heero shared at home.

"Thanks Ami. See you later." Heero said, "I guess we should go see what Lady Une wants of us. Let Quatre and Ami know that we'll call if she sends us out on an assignment." Heero said, "I guess we should go see what Lady Une wants of us. Let Quatre know that we'll call if she sends us out on an assignment." Heero said, leading the other two towards the car to head to Preventor's Headquarters.

That evening Heero discovered the reply from Hogwarts as he came in for dinner and to inform them that himself, Duo and Trowa were going to be on an assignment, but they should be back on Friday morning at the latest. We walked and headed straight for the kitchen table where everyone would be gathering for dinner if Wufei had anything to say about it.

Getting to the table heero smiled, his small smile reserved just for them and said, "Quatre, Ami the table is no place for work."

"It's the best place for it at the moment, our office has been ummm...made into a ummm...Wu why can't Quatre and I work in our offices again, Hee-chan says we shouldn't work at the table." Ami called.

"Because it's time for dinner and after that you're both going to take a break. So those offices of yours are off limits until morning. Here's dinner. Hi Heero, as you can see I'm trying to wrangle these two, somehow they both managed to forget lunch." Wufei said.

"Wufei, you said you wouldn't tell if we came to dinner. We came to dinner." Ami whined.

"Well you brought your work with you." Wufei said, "Now eat."

"Fine." Ami replied.

"Now Ami, you know you need to take breaks. You too Quatre. Don't skip meals while Duo, Trowa and myself are away on an assignment, now let's enjoy the meal Wufei made, so we can find out what's in this letter I found." Heero said, starting to eat his own meal, with the others following suit.

"When are you all coming back?" Quatre asked, between bites.

"Thursday night or Friday morning around breakfast assuming everything goes well." Heero responded.

Finishing her meal Ami asked, "Can you read the letter yet, I'm assuming it's a reply to Quatre's inquiry to Professor McGonagall."

"Yes please Heero?" Quatre asked as well finishing his own meal.

"Alright. I'll read it you two, if you both promise to take tonight easy." Heero replied.

"Fine. Please pass these to lady Une and we can take it easy for a while. It's what we were finishing before dinner, we were going to take it to her in the morning before going shopping, for somethings." Ami replied.

"Alright I will pass them along." Heero replied.

"Great a shopping trip tomorrow they'll have replaced everything in this house." Wufei groused with a smile.

"Whatever, Wufei." Ami responded.

"We promise Heero." Quatre said, "Now please read the letter. Besides we were thinking that there might be somethings we might need for this school, if we decide to go."

"Okay." He said, opening the letter, "It reads; Miss. Winner-Yui, Mr.'s Winner-Yui, Winner, Barton, Chang, and Maxwell, Thank-you for responding quickly. I will be able to meet you all at your house on Friday morning to explain and answer all your questions about magic and Hogwarts. When that s finished I can accompany you to Diagon Alley for your school supplies. I will arrive at eight O'clock at the morning. If another time would be better please let me know and we can arrange another a different time. Minerva McGonagall etc. etc."

"Is that alright with you three?" Quatre worried.

"It'll be fine if we're not there we'll live with what you three decide. Have fun shopping tomorrow." Heero said.

"Be safe." Ami responded.

"Tell the others, what's in the letter, also tell them to be safe." Quatre said, already starting to worry.

"Don't worry too much. Good luck with these two Wufei. I'll see you all on Friday" Heero said, getting up and heading out of the door.

"See you on Friday." Wufei chorused with Ami and Quatre.

When Heero was out the door he settled down for a long couple days convincing these two no to worry too much and relax, everyone would come home safe and sound on Friday. Then they would make a decision on this Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
