"Hermione! You have a letter" Mrs. Granger called to her daughter. Hermione ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Who's it from?" She took the letter and looked at the front. Her name and address was written in beautiful calligraphy.
"It doesn't say" Her mom looked at the letter over her daughters shoulder. "Whoever sent it has beautiful handwriting"
Hermione nodded her head and opened the letter. 2 pieces of paper fell out and onto the counter. She picked the larger piece up and read it.
Dear Fairytale guest,
You have been invited to play a game with the Master.
Enclosed is your role, which you are to keep a secret.
The rules of the game are simple:
Try to guess the others role without yours being guessed.
If you role is guessed then you are out of the game.
The last person standing will win never ending riches.
Are you brave enough to take the challenge?
Meetings will be held every Friday at 8:00 pm.
Yours truly,
The Grimms
She reread the letter and frowned. She then picked up the smaller paper and looked at it. Her mind went back to the stories her mother told her when she was little. She smiled and knew that her knowledge of the fairytales gave her an advantage. The Purebloods would have no clue about the fairytales and she knew most of the Muggle Borns would have forgotten the stories by now.
"What is the letter about?" Her mom asked. Hermione folded the letter up and slid it back into the envelope.
"It was just a letter from Ginny" She replied.
"Did she do the writing herself?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Yeah" Hermione took the envelope and turned to leave. "I'm going to go finish packing"
"When is Ginny going to pick you up tomorrow?" Mr. Granger asked.
"1:00 pm. She said to meet her at the train station" Hermione replied.
"Have fun and be good" Mrs. Granger said.
"I know mom" Hermione ran upstairs and into her room. She locked her door and jumped onto her bed. She read the letter again and then the role. She immediately thought of the possibility that this was a joke. She decided to ask Ginny if she received a letter when they met up.
At the Burrow….
"Ginerva Weasley! Get down here now!" Mrs. Weasley yelled to her daughter.
"What is it mom?" Ginny walked into the sitting room and crossed her arms. "I still have to get things ready for tomorrow"
"You have a letter" Mrs. Weasley held out an envelope. "Ron got the same letter too"
"Who's it from?" Ginny took the letter and opened it.
"It doesn't say" Mrs. Weasley continued folding clothes and gestured the other envelope. "Could you please take Ron's letter upstairs?"
"Sure" She took the other letter and ran upstairs. "Ron!"
"What do you want?" Ron poked his head out of his room. Ginny tossed the letter at him, hitting him in the face.
"You have a letter" She ran to her room before Ron could do something back to her. She looked at the smaller letter and read it out loud.
"Cinderella"
I gave away Ginny's role because it will play an important part in the later chapters. This chapter is an introduction and the real story will begin in the next chapter.
