Chapter I
The Letter
To Mr. Jasper W. Hale,
We shall skip pleasantry as you are already quite familiar with our world. Your presence is required at the Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament in precisely 4 weeks and two hours from the time that you read this. If you refuse, we shall be forced to address a rather insinuating letter from your monarchy. It appears that this... Volturi of yours accuse our entire Wizarding World of breaking their by-laws of exposure.
In other words, your tryst at the Forbidden Forest with that reckless Ravenclaw has not gone unseen. We may (very well) be at the dawn of another war.
In the name of magical diplomacy, (King is it?) Aro will dispatch his representatives to establish a possible resolution. In return, this Volturi insist on observing our Tournament, as an "act of good faith on our behalf". Your Vampire culture is quite curious. Nevertheless, your transportation leaves in 5 minutes. They expect your prompt arrival at the Lake. Surely you know which Lake we speak of.
Your role in this entire affair shall be explained upon arrival.
Our best regards
The Ministry of Magic,
Headmistress of Hogwarts,
Head of the Order of the Phoenix,
Chief Officer of Dumbledore's Army,
AND of course,
Mr. Ronald Weasley, and Miss Hermione Granger
P.S. Yes, you may bring Mr. Edward Cullen as your companion. We've been expecting him.
