Hello! Second chapter is up and ready to be read! I hope that this explains what those non-Hunter-X-Hunter-fans do not know. If you don't understand, just PM me, or leave it in a review and I'll clear it all up in the next chapter. Okay, how about we get started!
*Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (Although I badly wish I do) or Hunter X Hunter (although, again, I badly wish I do)
The Letter and an Extremely Annoying Owl
Eleven years later
Eleven years have passed since that incident. Now, let us take another road, out of London and to Republic of Padokia, or more specifically, the Zoldyck household, where a particular Killua Zoldyck lived.
Killua was not like other normal kids. He lived in a large mansion on the top of a dormant volcano - Kukuroo Mountain - surrounded by a lush forest in the Dentora Region of the Republic of Padokia. He didn't go to school. He didn't have any friends. And he was an assassin.
All along, the Zoldycks were a family of elite assassins. No exception. Killua was considered an elite in the family, having shown great potential ever since young. Thus, he was chosen as the heir of the family, despite being the third child.
It was July and Killua had just returned from an assignment. His oldest brother, Illumi, was waiting for him at the gate entrance to the Zoldyck Mansion, just beyond the Testing Gates which a person was required to open up at least one in order to get through. Each gate weighed 4 tons. The gates opened up based on your strength
"How did work go?" Illumi asked his younger brother.
"Fine," Killua replied. Like always, he mentally added. It was true. Killua never failed to complete his tasks.
"Does that mean you have dispatched the target?" Illumi asked lightly.
"I know you were watching from a distance," Killua responded.
"Mum's waiting for you inside," Illumi said.
"Well, I don't want to see her," Killua said mutinously, planting his yellow skateboard, with a red arrow running through, on the ground. Jumping on it, he skated away, sparing a moment to nod at Canary, the butler apprentice who guarded the entrance.
He skated to his room at the mansion, which was quite a distance from the entrance. Plopping down onto his bed, he closed his eyes to rest up a bit before training with Illumi began. Being the heir to the Zoldyck family meant having to be the best of the best so Killua had training every day with either his brother or his father, though it was mostly with Illumi.
Just as he was dozing off, he heard a continuously tap tap at this window. He looked to his left and was greeted with the sight of a brown barn owl tapping its beak on his window. Curious but slightly wary, Killua approached his window and opened it. The owl swooped in and landed neatly on his desk.
"What's this?" Killua wondered out loud as he noticed the envelope tied to the owl's leg. The owl hooted before giving Killua an arrogant look, turning round to hop around Killua's outstretched hand. Irritation flooded through the heir's veins as he snatched the owl from the tabletop. The owl could only squawk as Killua grabbed it none too gently. Untying the rope that wound around the owl's foot and the letter, Killua let go of the owl to take a good look at the words on the envelope.

Killua's eyebrows flew up and he immediately raced out of his room at lightning speed. How could they know? He thought as he raced to the Dining Hall where he knew his family was eating dinner. He just hadn't been hungry enough to eat.
He burst into the Dining Hall and said, "Mum, Dad, I had a letter."
"A letter?" Silva Zoldyck, patriarch of the Zoldyck family and Killua's father, asked as Killua handed over the letter.
"Do you know who it is from?" Silva asked his son. Killua shook his head. Opening it, Silva and Kikyo, Killua's mother, read the letter before passing it over to Killua to read it.
After reading it, Killua asked, "So what should I do?"
"Yo go, of course!" Kikyo beamed. "I'm so proud! My baby can do magic! You're going to be the best assassin ever if you can do both Nen and magic!"
Silva nodded. "I agree. Go pack and we'll get Gotoh to send you tomorrow."
"What if it's a trap?" Killua asked.
"Then I expect you to take care of it. If it truly is a trap, then I expect you to properly deal with all of the fools behind it."
Killua grinned. He liked the sound of that. Leaving the dining room, he headed back to his own room, pondering. Whilst he didn't quite like the idea of going to school, he hoped that it wasn't a joke either. It would be cool to learn magic. He also agreed with his mother. With extraordinary natural talents coupled with Nen and magic, he would be the greatest assassin of all time.
Nen was a technique that allowed a living being to manipulate and use their own life energy which was also known as aura. It was sort of like a super power. Killua's Nen was Transmutation, which is the ability to change their aura to mimic something else. Killua often uses his aura to copy the properties of electricity so he could easily electrocute anyone.
When he got back to his room, he found that the owl was still there. Looking at his letter again, he took out a piece of paper and penned down his response before tying it to the owl's leg like how he saw it tied before. The owl hooted before flying out of his bedroom, throwing Killua a look of distrust that was quickly replaced by an expression of pure haughtiness.
Killua sincerely hoped that the cocky bird would get eaten by Mike* the Zoldyck's ferocious, and not to mention enormous, guard dog. Then again, if it was able to make its way in, then why not out?
Actually, I wanted to write about what's happening at te Potter's house at this point of time, but then I decided against it since this is about Killua. Well, I'll be hnoest with you guys, that's the 'official' reason.
The 'unofficial' reason is... I don't know how I should make David or the Potters act. I don't know whether they'll be snotty, snobby and generally disgusting or normal. I seriously can't decide. So, how about you huys help me out in a review, okay?
Thanks! It'll speed up the updating! :)
