So… I've got no excuse here. I write when I'm motivated. Which isn't often. None of my stories are abandoned. I just write when I feel like it. That said I do enjoy people's reviews and was not kidding when I ask for suggestions. I want what I write to be your story as much as it's mine. So without further ado…

I own neither Owl House nor Harry Potter

Chapter 3: A letter to Someone.

The next morning after Luz's revelation, she and Harry sat down in the suite provided to have a talk.

"So… what was with the reactions last night? Both you and that Minister guy seemed to know my dad's name." Asked Luz, a bit puzzled at how Fudge paled drastically and left abruptly, citing having to see to important matters elsewhere.

Harry, on the other hand, lit up at the name, seeming even more at ease with her. Even accepting a red and yellow lion pajama suit, similar to her otter suit from her teenage years.

Luz thought he looked adorable in it.

"Well," started Harry, "Hagrid is a somewhat well-known person. Not exactly famous, but almost everyone in Wixan Britain knows his name and reputation, not in a bad way mind. In my case though, it's a bit more personal."

Luz raised an eyebrow, "And that reputation being?"

"Hagrid is the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, the Premier magic school in England. Hagrid was the one to introduce me to magic and is sort of my father figure there." Harry said, "I thought your eyes were familiar when we met, they're just like Hagrid's."

"Woah, didn't know Dad was so well-known. Though that just leaves sending him a letter. Is there a Post Owlery or something that can send a letter for me?" Luz asked, unsure of how it worked.

Harry grinned, held out his arm and whistled. Suddenly, a snowy owl flew in and landed on his forearm, careful to watch her talons as she gripped Harry's arm. "This is Hedwig, Hagrid's gift to me on my eleventh birthday. Hedwig, this is Luz, Hagrid's daughter. We'd like for you to deliver a letter for her."

Luz gaped at the matronly seeming owl, reminding her of her own mother as Hedwig barked at Harry in a scolding tone and affectionately nipped his ear before retrieving some parchment, writing implements and an envelope, before settling on a chair for them to write the letter.

"Yeah, Hedwig is like that." Said Harry organizing the parchment and quill, snapping Luz out of her trance.

"Ya know, 14 year old me would be amazed by that. The me now is wondering if that's a palisman." She commented, taking up the quill to write the letter. Harry looked confused.

"What's a palisman?" He asked, curious as to what this Hexside school taught.

"A palisman is a sort of crafted familiar. Graduating students of Hexside have to grow a tree in their last year, saturating it in their magic, before hand carving their staff out of it. The top is carved into an egg that hatches into the palisman." Luz explains, summoning her staff, before the wooden otter at the top became real and jumped onto the table. "This is Otto, my palisman. Don't worry he doesn't bite."

"Wow, we get wands from Ollivanders, but he is the one to craft them. Bet he'd love to learn all about this." Said Harry. "Alright how about we get started on this letter?"

Later in the day in a small hut by an enormous and ancient castle, Hagrid was brewing some tea for Albus Dumbledore and himself, a ferocious book gnawing on a rock cake he gave it. He just got the news from Dumbledore that Professor Kettleburn was retiring, that he was chosen to be the new Care of Magical Creatures professor, and that Fudge had signed off on Hagrid being allowed to practice magic again.

He would be off to Diagon Alley the next day to see if Ollivander could repair his wand or if he could get a new one if not.

"Wonder what got inta Fudge's bonnet for 'im ta do this, Professor? Not like 'im ta fix mistakes that weren't his own doin'." Hagrid commented as he brought the teapot over to the table.

Dumbledore chuckled as Hagrid poured the tea, "I've asked before that you call me Albus, Rubeus, we are going to be colleagues now. And to your question I'm not sure, he seemed rather frantic when he informed me this morning. I believe it has something to do with Mr Potter, as Cornelius checked up on him last night."

Just then Hedwig swooped in, a letter in beak, landing neatly on the back of an empty chair.

"Oh, Ello 'Edwig, a letter from 'Arry, eh?" Hagrid said, exchanging the letter for some owl treats he had, before frowning at the letter, "Hold up a tic, this ain't 'Arry's writing." He opened the letter, seeing Harry's writing at the top and someone else's on the rest.

Dear Hagrid

It's Harry, I left the Dursleys last night due to an incident. I'm safe at the Leakey Cauldron, with someone trustworthy. She has some things to speak with you about, so the rest of the letter is from her.

Hello Mr Hagrid

My name is Luz Nocida, daughter of Camilla Noceda. You may or maynot remember her from 22 years ago. You had brought in several injured people and ended up going out for drinks with some of the nurses, my mom included. Well the two of you apparently did the do and nine months later I came along. I'm in England hoping to meet you and forge a relationship. I can understand if you're apprehensive. I'll be staying at the Leakey Cauldron with Harry til he's off to school( he's too young to be left on his own). Send a reply if you'd like to meet.

Luz Nocida

Head of the Wild Magic Coven

"Well, Rubeus, what does Young Mr Potter have to say?" Asks Dumbledore, right before Hagrid fainted dead away, the letter landing on the table.

So no one understood what I meant with the staff, focusing on the palisman rather than the wood. It's my headcanon that staff wood is like wand wood, each representing the witch in question. I gave Luz Applewood as "they are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic."

I think this suits Luz to a tee. So the next challenge is this; I want Harry interested in glyphes, how should the scene play out? I'll be taking suggestions from FF net , AO3, Spacebattles, and Sufficient Velocity as the story can be found on all four.

So leave a like, review, favorite, follow, post, kudos and most importantly omake if you liked it. Catch ya later.
