Early morning, January 3rd, before anyone was awake to see, an owl dropped a letter on the doorstep of a muggle home. There was no postmark and no return address. The envelope merely had "Marianne" written in the center. A spell had been placed upon it so no one else would be able to open it even though Duncan knew she didn't want anything to do with the magical world.Aunt Marianne,
Two days ago I learned about an old secret, one kept from most of the family, from someone who is not a friend.
I would like to meet with you as soon as possible. There are things to discuss that I dare not put in a letter.
As always, you can pick the time and place.
With love,
Duncan
