The hall was stunned into silence. Then shocked whispers began until Dumbledore stood up, made a bang with his wand, and said

"I will explain about the DeTe after the feast. Continue with the sorting." Next Devin went up, and when they heard his name, they all expected the same thing, and were not disappointed. The same thing happened with Teah and Terrie, who along with their new friends spent an uncomfortable dinner at the table, hung in black, silver, and gold with a gold panther and a silver bat that Dumbledore had conjured. After the feast, Dumbledore stood up and explained about the DeTe.

"Hogwarts was founded in ancient times to end a war, called the Six Armies War. The armies were the invading armies of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff vs. Denird (deh-nerd) De of the Genii (gene-I) who was also for an unknown reason at war with his fellow Genii clan Te led by Tejok (teh-jock). The clans of De and Te had for centuries led the Genii together, but when the war started that ended. The war was eventually ended by Hogwarts, which brought the Genii and human students together. Then, for an unknown reason the Genii clans, led by the then married Denird and Tejok DeTe began to die out. Only a few survive today, and most of those with the blood of the Genii are part human. Many of these remember their heritage; one of those families is Deon DeTe's, which is descended directly from Denird De before he married Tejok Te. It is thought that Denird and Tejok had died with their people, but they did not, they have lived in secret at Hogwarts for centuries, guarded by one of their former soldiers, who exsisted under the false identity of Peeves the Poltergeist, who has had lots of fun in his guarding. There is more about them, but to learn more, check out A History of the Genii by Anne Thro Pologist from the library. And now I would like to introduce you to: Denird and Tejok DeTe!" The doors to the hall burst open and in walked 2 massive people. They were each nine feet tall, and the man had what looked like a baseball bat in a scabbard on his back, and the woman had a massive sword. Behind them came a fifteen- foot tall massive red-haired stranger, who looked uncannily familiar even with different color hair and all, Peeves, disguised no more. who had a sword even bigger than Tejok's in his scabbard. Denird and Tejok took seats at the table with Deon, Devin, Teah, and Terrie. However Dumbledore motioned for them to stand and Denird did.

"I was hoping he would forget this part" he said, "but I guess I'll have to give a speech anyway. I am Denird, who Albus just spoke of. My race is a race of super powerful shape-shifters, but these are our natural forms. Also I apologize for the overzealous behavior "Peeves" as you knew him exhibited in guarding us. Unfortunately we can only stay in one form so long without becoming like that form, so he was not himself for a couple of centuries and it will take him a little while to recover. I hope to have a longer time here than I did last time, and will, in addition to teaching the DeTes be teaching extracurricular classes that anyone can take. Also, he said, looking at his students, we will need to find your true wands and get rid, of these human ones you have. Any questions?"

"Yeah," said Devin "what do you mean true wands?"

"I mean this," stated Denird pulling the thing on his back out of its scabbard "Genii are born with their wands, this is mine, and those swords are Tejok and Warr's. Any more questions?"

"No" they said together

"Good" said Tejok and Denird in unison. Then Tejok stood up

"I hate public speaking even more than Denird, so I just have one thing to say. Which is: Next time I hide for a couple hundred centuries, I'm not hiding in a magic lamp, no matter how big. I mean yeah it's good cover, but you really get a crick in your neck after being vapor that long."

"While that wasn't exactly what I wanted from you" said Dumbledore looking sternly at the unabashed two "I guess it's all I'm going to get. Now off to bed"

Disclaimers: I own any and all things DeTe and my version of Genii, but none of Potter.
