Part 5 Letters From Home
Willow woke Saturday morning to the sound of a soft pecking at the window. Pushing the glass open two owls flew in one dropping a letter on her table the other flying over to Fred and dropping one her sleeping form, before flying away.
Willow reached for the one addressed to her and Faith. She sat down on the bed and pulled the envelope open.
Willow and Faith,
You'll never believe this but Giles new all about this Hogwarts place. Says he's never been, but it's a very important school in the wizarding world. He also said that you should be careful, he has heard of this Lord Voldemort and he's Dangerous. He's also heard of Dumbledore, and says to tell you that If Voldemort has him, it can't be good, Dumbledore is very powerful. Also Faith should watch her temper, can't imagine why he thinks she would Lose it, I mean, Faith is so even tempered right?
Xander and Buffy say they miss you guys and be careful. I'm not supposed to tell you This but it was so funny, Buffy totally freaked when the owl dropped off your letter. Not that I wouldn't have if I hadn't been warned, but we told her to expect it. And it's just so funny to watch the slayer screaming and covering Her head over a little owl. Is that you're owl, Will, she's beautiful.
Gotta go, but Buffy says if you guys need anything write and we'll find a way To help.
Dawn.
Willow folded the letter in half and set it on the table next to Faith's bed. She was glad they had written back, she did miss her friends.
"Morning," Fred said stretching in her bed.
"You have a letter," Willow smiled as Fred picked it up. "I'm gonna take a shower, If Faith wakes up I left the one from Dawn next to the bed."
Fred pulled the letter out of the envelope, glad that they had written back, sending owls with messages seemed odd to her, and she wasn't sure they would really receive it.
Fred,
Hogwarts, that is really amazing, we studied it in Watcher training but I've Never met anyone that had been there. I trust you are safe. I have talked to Giles This Voldemort is a very dangerous Wizard, so be careful.
Angel is relieved that your safe, though he still would like to storm over to England And bring you back. I assured him that with all the Wizards, Witches, and Willow There you would be fine, and of course, you have your own personal slayer.
Gunn is still fuming; he says you should not have gone to the office alone. Which is true, but you did what you had to do.
If you need us, contact us and we'll be there as soon as we can.
Wesley.
Faith was awake now too and had found the letter Willow had left and was reading it when Fred put her own away. Willow was returning from the shower as Faith closed the letter and returned it the envelope.
"So what are we doing today?" Willow asked, "No lessons and two days until students arrive."
Before anyone could answer, a third owl flew in the window and dropped a piece of parchment next to Faith, and flew back out the window.
"Who's that from?" Fred asked, "Not like we know any wizards."
"Remus Lupin," Faith said unrolling the parchment and glancing at the signature at the bottom, "The guy from Diagon Alley."
"The cute one?" Willow asked, "He sent you a letter?"
"Yeah," Faith's attention had turned to the paper in her hand.
Faith,
Writing this I assume that Severus did not leave you and your friends behind. I know the new term is starting in a few days, but I'd really like the Chance to talk to you again; I have many questions about slayers.
If you don't mind meeting me, send me an owl with the date of the first Hogsmeade weekend, I will meet you there.
Remus.
"He wants to meet me in Hogsmeade," Faith set the paper down. "What's Hogsmeade?"
"It's a nearby Wizarding Village," Willow took the paper from the table and looked at it, "Professor Mcgonagall said third year and above students get to visit it several times a year."
"Are you going to meet him?" Fred asked, "He seemed really nice."
"Why not?" Faith shrugged, "When is the first weekend?"
All three girls dressed quickly and headed down to find Mcgonagall to find out the date of the first trip. The quickly composed a letter to Remus Lupin before heading to the owlrey to send it.
"You're sure this is right?" Faith asked, looking again at the roll of paper with just a name written on it.
"Yes, Faith," Willow assured her, "Professor Mcgonagall said all that was necessary was the name and the owl would find him."
"Then lets do it," Faith attached the letter to Willow's new owl and watched it fly out a window.
