Chapter One: Summer Days
It was a hot, but beautiful day in the world of Gaea. In fact, the country of Fanelia was having a great celebration. The young King Van Slanzar de Fanel was holding a great Ball, open to every Fanelian, and whoever else the Fanelians invited. The land almost quivered with anticipation. Many well-wishers who weren't able to come sent cards and letters to the palace.
One of these letters was very odd. It was addressed to Van Fanel, and his court poster would have tossed it out, as the King should have his proper addressing on any envelope. However, its odd writing and seal attracted Van's attention, so he saved it before any harm could be done.
Selena Schezar, one of Van's friends and revered guests, also received a letter from the same fellow while staying in the palace. Strangely, it was addressed to 'Selena Schezar & Dilandau Albatou'. This worried her, as not many people knew that she and Dilandau had been, and still were, always together in their bodies. She decided to consult Van about this matter, to see if he knew who sent it.
The two bumped into each other in the hallway, with their letters in hand. When they stared at each other, they realized that there was something very strange going on. Selena commented, "You know, we probably just have a social thingummy to go to? The host probably just decided to go all out, or their maids have decided to revolt."
Van smiled. That was Selena, able to keep humorous at all times and yet still manage to come up with a logical explanation. He loved how she did that. He broke the silence of their thoughts, "We should really open the letters, though. It could be really important, so let's go into a room."
They went into the nearest empty room, barely restraining their curiosity. When inside, they savagely ripped open their letters, leaving the envelopes on the ground in shreds. The boy and girl stared, flabbergasted, at the green words on the parchment. "What the hell is this?" Selena angrily said. Van spread his letter on the bed, and started to read it aloud in disbelief:
"Dear Van Fanel,
We have received word of some of your magical skills, and have reserved a place for you in our magic school in England, Earth. Enclosed is a list of items you will need for your year. You will be in the fifth year, and will be joined with others of your own age, We have arranged for you to be picked up with the other new student of the fifth year at 4:00pm sharp next week on this day. I trust you will enjoy it here at Hogwarts. Sincerely, Albus Dumbledore."
A/N: What could be better than a Escaflowne-Harry Potter crossover? When you're broke, that is... Anyway, this is a strange beginning, but please review anyway!
