AN: welcome to a new story I have been working on for a while. I cannot promise regular updates or when I'm going to finish it but I'll try to not keep it too long.
AN2: Please review to let me know what you think!
AN3: I do not own anything Twilight or Harry Potter. Just playing with the characters.
Dear Lords of the Volturi,
I am Hermione Granger, Head of the Department for Magical Beings of the British Ministry for Magic and the Chief Investigator of Magical Beings for the International Confederation of Wizards.
In this last function I am charged with the investigation of all magical beings and to ensure that all laws on Magical Creatures in Europe are brought into the twenty first century.
My goal is to ensure that all beings, human, non-human or creatures are treated fairly and where possible equally. The last three years I have been working on legislations to better the lives of house-elves and werewolves. Now my focus has turned to vampires, in my opinion one of the most misunderstood and mistreated species in our world.
To ensure that I do justice and the right things for the vampire community I would like to discus with you the needs and requirements of vampires, your visions for the future and everything that goes around in the vampire community. I would also like to spent some time of my interview with you to gather information of the vampire being in general as our world is severely lacking proper knowledge.
I hope you grant my request for an intensive interview with the three rulers of the vampire world and possible further meetings to discus my findings and my ideas for these legislations.
Please send a reply by this owl, she has been told to wait for it.
Kind Regards,
Hermione Granger.
Order of Merlin, First class.
Aro read the letter out loud to his brothers. It had been a long time since the magical world shown any interest in them. Normally the magicals would only send them notifications of changes in the law that restricted their movements.
Of course, most of these laws only angered the kings. They had, however, learned the hard way that wizards and witches could kill them quicker than a newborn vampire could drain a human. The magical world, while interesting, was not to be messed with and very dangerous for any vampire.
"This is new." Marcus commented.
"Yes, those fuckers normally don't sound so nice." Caius growled.
"Have you heard of this Miss Granger before, Aro?" Marcus asked.
Aro nodded slowly and reread the letter again before he found the memory of her name being mentioned.
"Yes, I have seen her in the memory of an old English vampire. The one that came here two years ago to ask for advise on where to settle with his mate." His brothers nodded as they remembered the vampire in question as well. "Apparently she is the real deal. She managed to get werewolves in England equal status as non-magical humans as long as they are willing to comply with a handful of rules. Nothing too demanding, like they have to register for a potion that keeps them sane during transformation and they have to finish at least a basic education. If they do this they are allowed to live freely in the magical world."
"That doesn't sound too bad." Marcus mused.
"No it doesn't." Caius begrudgingly agreed.
"It could benefit all of us and especially our business dealings if we could get some laws changed. We can move freely in the non-magical world but there is so much money to make and wisdom to gain in the magical world." Aro mused. "She is a recipient of the Order of Merlin, First class, so she holds high enough ranking to be able to make these changes. Perhaps we should invite her here and show her our world. If we are kind to her, she might be able to open doors for us."
His brother nodded though he knew from one touch against Caius's hand that his younger brother was not happy with the idea of having a witch in his house, especially one with a beating heart and blood running through her veins. However Aro also knew Caius would deal with it and be courteous. A lot depended on the woman.
Aro quickly grabbed some letter paper and a pen and wrote an answer.
Dear Miss Granger.
We of the Volturi, Kings of the Vampire world, were surprised to receive your letter. Our dealings with the magical world have been minimum and very unfriendly over the last few hundredth years. As such it came to a surprise to receive a friendly letter with some kind news.
Of course we are interested in bettering our status and relations within the magical world. Even if it is only for the selfish reason of being able to conduct business in the magical world. However, the possibility of gaining knowledge and aid from your world is of course most interesting.
My brethren would be positively aided if they were able to live, study and work in the magical world as they are able to do in the non-magical world. The possibilities will be endless.
Therefore we cordially grant you your request and give you access to Voltera. We invite you to stay in Voltera for a while to take your time and really study the comings and goings in the vampire world. Your safety will be guaranteed of course.
If it would suit you we would like you to come and stay with us on the first of March. The duration of your stay is completely up to you.
Please inform us if the date is suitable.
Kind regards,
Aro Volturi.
Aro sealed the letter and handed it to the beautiful eagle owl that was patiently waiting for it to take it to its master. The three kings watched as the owl took off.
A few days later the same owl returned with a short reply that Hermione Granger would be honoured to spend some time with them and to get a chance to really study vampires in more detail. Aro chuckled at the way the note was written, the woman sounded so enthusiastic about the idea of gaining knowledge. He was sure he would get along splendidly with the witch.
He left the note for his brother to read and went to see Gianna. He wanted to make sure that he had everything a human would need ready for the arrival of the witch. He wanted to make sure she felt at home and make a good impression as a decent and sophisticated person not some mindless dark creature.
