Chapter 2:
Luna woke hours later to the sound of a hooting owl and the gentle patter of rain on the window. She rolled over blinking slowly and saw a small black owl staring at her from outside the window. She slumped out of bed and opened the window. The owl was very wet and rumpled and had an expression of great discomfort. It reminded Luna of the way she always felt in a large crowd of people, with everyone staring at her...it made her uncomfortable, the way the rain made this poor animal uncomfortable. The owl hopped inside and held out its leg, which had a dark blue envelope tied to it. Luna took the letter carefully from the small bird and it fluttered back out of the window.
Luna sat down at her desk and rubbed her eyes. What time is it? She thought to herself. It's so dark outside. She held her watch up to her face but saw only a few blurred lines. She rubbed her eyes again and held the watch closer to her eyes. 4 AM. Who would send her a letter at 4 in the morning? Luna picked up the letter again and examined it. It was in a dark blue glittering envelope that almost exactly matched the night sky; And unlike her Hogwarts letter, it had no address. It just simply had her name written in sliver ink. It was odd; there was no seal on the back either. Not any trace of where it was from. She had to open it, how else was she going to know who sent it? Luna stuck her index finger in the space between the two pieces of sealed envelope and gave a gentle pull. The envelope fell open onto her desk. For a moment the letter lay there motionless, almost as it were just another letter. Luna knew better though. She was about to pick the letter back up when it rose into the air and poured out a thick black shimmering fog. Luna stared into the mist, mesmerized. The ghostly cloud swirled around her, clouding her vision and filling her lungs. She tried to cough but her breathing had stopped. Luna was now standing in the middle of a dark circular room surrounded by hundreds of flickering candles. And there, in front of her, stood the one person she knew that she would see.
