Thanks to those of you who have kept up. To answer your question Sienna, she is around thirty seven or thirty eight since she is two years older than Lupin, her brother - I'm not positive of how old he was in the fourth book, Alex, though is around 240. She's the youngest member of her 'organization' all the others are much older, at least around Alex's age.
This was supposed to be chapter 11, but chapter 10 is causing me problems. I'll add it in somehow when I get it fixed.
Harry was still angry at them for not telling him sooner, but he was glad to be there either way. He noticed Elissa had joined the others in the hall, which he expected as he had learned earlier that summer that she knew more than anyone here.
"I thought I told you that it wasn't safe!" Sirius sounded agitated, as he confronted Elissa who had apparently come without his permission.
"And I thought I got it into your head years ago that nothing is ever safe for me. If I were human, I'd be long dead. But I'm not, Padfoot," she sighed doing her best to look in his eyes, despite the height difference, "Besides if its dangerous for me its a thousand times worse for you. I need to be here, I'm not letting anyone suffer any longer than they have to."
Sirius opened his mouth to say something but noticing Harry decided otherwise and
moved to greet him.
Now Harry found himself sitting across the table from Elissa. She watched him with violet eyes that gave nothing away, hands clasped under her chin. "What is it?"
She smiled. "Oh! I'm just trying to figure you out. See what you're thinking."
"See anything?"
Elissa shrugged, "Nothing I don't see in the others."
"How do you do it? Take everything in your stride that is. You seem so comfortable."
"That's because I am. I've always dealt with death eaters. Since I was ten perhaps? Though Alex always fought then. I'll let you in on a secret, if you promise not to tell Sirius. It would only make him worry. Though if he directly asks, you?"
"I'll tell him?" Harry offered.
She nodded, "You've learned."
"Alright, I promise."
Elissa leaned closer in, nodding for Harry to do the same to keep them from being overheard, "The death eaters are after me just as much as they are any of the others here, likely more considering the threat I am. Not that they know half of it."
"How big of a threat are you?"
"Not as much as you or Dumbledore, but up there. Unless I get certain orders from upstairs and then I'd be their worst nightmare." Before Harry could ask anything else she stood up moving away as if the conversation had ended.
"So what'd she say?" Sirius asked taking Elissa's seat.
Harry shook his head, "You have to guess before I can say."
Sirius laughed, "Sounds just like her."
