[Hogwarts Between] [HB] Owl Post - Seluna

[Brenda McCartney]

Seluna had been waiting eagerly for the owl for days.  She had known
it would come.  She was, after all, a full-blooded witch.  It HAD to
come.

Didn't it?

That question caused her some concern.  Was it possible that her
parents could have intercepted the letter?  Could they have forbidden
Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, from sending her one?
Was it possible that she would not be going?

Lucky saw it first.  Seluna's cat meowed, arching its back under her
hand to get her attention.  The owl soared silently toward her window,
the precious letter in its beak.  Just then, however, Seluna heard an
enraged cry from the yard below.

"Sebastian, no!  Stop it!  It has the letter!" her mother screamed.

"Stupefy!" her father shouted.  The hex blazed past the stealthy owl
as it sailed into Seluna's open window and presented its cargo to her
with a formal little bow.
