Chapter 2 The Letter
Camillo woke to the smell of something burning early one July morning. She climbed down the spiral staircase and walked down the hallway passing the shrunken-house elf heads as she had done many times before.
The house belonged to her father, Sirius Black, and it was not often that he made breakfast. They usually just had cold cereal. But that is the way Camillo liked it.
When she stepped into the kitched her father was knowhere to be found. She took over making breakfast and had just set it on the table when her father stepped in the door. He looked at the burnt toast in the garbage and said 'Oh, well, sorry about that. I guess I kinda dozed off on the couch there for a little to long.' Camillo smiled and sat down to eat.
Sirius Black was a tall man with long black shaggy hair. He had a knack for getting in trouble and causing havoic, but only in good fun, as he would always say. He was surprisingly upbeat considering his past, Camillo's mother (his girlfriend) had died two years ago as did one of his best friends James Potter.
As they sat eating their breakfast a grey owl swooped down through the window and landed in the juice container. 'Oh, good! The post is here!' said Sirius. He picked up five or so letters. He looked through them and as he got to the last one he smiled. 'This one's for you.' He said.
Camillo looked bewildered as she looked at the letter. Who would be writing to her she thought. The letter had emerald green writing on it and was in fact addressed to her.
