Ch 1
Arrival
Sunlight seeped in through the dark gray-trimmed baby blue curtains and rested on the face of a young girl. It shone on her glorious, deep red mane and filtered through her unopened eyelids. 'Lily, Lily, wake up Lily!' echoed throughout her semiconscious being though it did little to subdue the problem at hand. The message was repeated, but this time considerably louder. So loud, in fact, that she jumped awake and called out in a frightened tone. Her sister, Petunia, whispered 'freak' as she passed by the slightly open door. They had never exactly gotten along. Lily rolled her eyes and looked over at her digital clock sitting on the nightstand which read 10:57. Usually she was awake around 6 and 7 o'clock, but that day felt very odd for some reason, as if something peculiar was happening soon. She shrugged off the feeling, took a shower, and changed.
She re-entered the room with a copy of The Hobbit in hand. Plopping onto her bed, she began reading from where she had left off. After a few minutes of this, she heard a soft tapping coming from the window. Curiosity drove her to open the window and allow whatever it was inside. A magnificent barn owl flew into her room and landed on her floor lamp. It had a large envelope in its beak. Clearly visible on the envelope was a letter 'H' surrounded by a lion, serpent, badger, and raven. She slowly crept over to it, retrieved the envelope and read.
