Hehe, sorry about that last cliffie, but it seemed as good a place to end it as any.

Thank you to all who reviewed. Assuming someone actually does before I upload this chapter. Just so you aren't confused, I'm writing this the a few hours after I uploaded chapter two. That doesn't mean that it'll get uploaded tomorrow . . .uh . . .today, since it's 12:27.

*****************************

Her three friends nodded once more and left without a word. Dasani sat down on her bed and put her head in her hands. After a few minutes, she went to the window. She looked down and saw her friends waiting for her, looking in all the wrong directions. She sighed once more, stepped onto the windowsill and walked off the ledge into the ever-darkening twilight. . .

Down below, the other three teens were looking around for their friend. Sirius was getting tired and looked up at the stars, thinking. When he looked back down something caught his eye in one of the windows of the tower.

"Oi! What's that?" He said pointing to a lone figure standing on one of the windows.

"That's just Dasani." Lily said absentmindedly.

Then all at once the three saw the figure step from the ledge, and they yelled, "DASANI!"

Dasani was falling down fast, but she never changed position, she was always standing up. As she came closer to the ground, she braced herself to hit the ground, but instead she grabbed onto one of the branches of a tall birch tree next to the school, and then she dropped harmlessly to the ground. Her friend rushed over.

"Dasani are you crazy! You could have killed yourself!" Lily said. "Now at the least you'll have scraped up hands!"

"Lily . . ." Dasani started.

"No Dasani, Lily's right! What were you thinking?" James demanded.

"Actually I think I was thinking, that this will be faster than the stairs." Dasani replied, "Anyways, even if I hadn't grabbed that branch I would have been fine."

"And how do you know that?" Lily said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I dunno, but look." Dasani said. She held out her hands for the three to see, and they stood dumbfounded, there was not even a scratch.

"Anyone up for that walk now?" James asked. They nodded and, by silent voting, they walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

Sirius looked at Dasani, who smiled at him. He grinned back, he knew Dasani knew what she was doing. When they got into the forest, it was considerably darker.

Lily looked around and said, "Uh . . .maybe we should go back."

"Lily, you should have said that a while ago, we're in considerably far now." Dasani replied.

"Yeah, this is pretty far, I don't think I've ever been in this far," Sirius said.

Suddenly, they all heard a twig snap to their left.

"Can we go now?" Lily asked.

Dasani who had better vision and hearing that the other three, knew there were more than one somethings out there, said, "Yes run."

The four friends ran to their right, having utterly no idea which way they were running. Sirius, who had grabbed Dasani's hand when they started running, was freaking out and pulling Dasani way ahead of the other two.

"Sirius, this can't keep going for much longer, we have to find a place to hide." Dasani said.

"How about there?" Sirius said pointing to a boulder with a wall of vines growing from it. In between the vines was just about enough room for the four of them.

'That's great." Dasani said. They pushed back the vines and went in between, then started to watch for Lily and James.

Those two, however were currently running far behind. Lily was really starting to get annoyed.

"Why can't they chase after some other blockheads who are walking in the Forbidden Forest at night?"

"Lils, I think there's only us." James replied.

Lily was about to reply when a hand grabbed her and pulled both her and James behind some vines.

Lily was about to scream when she saw it was only Dasani and Sirius.

"Uh . . .Dasani are you guys attached to your hiding place?" James asked looking at the now wilting vines.

"No why?" Dasani asked, "It just has to hide us."

"Then we have a problem." James said.

At this statement all of them looked at the vines, which had all wilted and turned brown, you could see out and most definitely in too.

"Oh shit," Dasani said.

"This is BEAST VINE! It withers at human touch!" Lily exclaimed, "How could you be so stupid!"

"It's a talent." Dasani replied. She listened hard and heard their pursuers a little ways behind.

"Dasani!"

"But supposedly not my only talent." Dasani murmured. She put her hand to the vines and thought, 'Grow.'

The vines immediately started to turn the green and became full. The tall girl's friend stared in amazement. Then their pursuers came to the spot.

One said, in a guttural language, "They must be hiding behind those vines."

Another, obviously the leader said, "Don't be a moron! That's the Human Hater vine! It shrivels at a humans touch. And the Lord of the Dark will not be pleased that we lost them! Keep Going!"

They heard as the strange beasts footsteps died away.

"Well, we're not going anywhere for a while, we might as well get comfortable, because we cannot go anywhere until daylight." Dasani said.

"Dasani . . ."Lily started.

"Yes?" Dasani asked, knowing that Lily was going to ask her about the plant thing.

"What the hell did you do?" Lily asked.

"I willed it to grow." Dasani said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, and it was.
"Ah . . ." Lily said.

"So you're . . ." James started.

"An elf?" Dasani replied, "All evidence points that way yes. Since I'm tall, I can understand languages, I can make things grow . . ."

"Didn't you say we should get comfortable?" Sirius asked.

Dasani said nothing, but leaned on Sirius's chest. Lily and James looked at eachother, then looked quickly away, blushing.

Dasani grinned and poked Lily in the ribs. She laughed and fell over onto James, who was startled, but then put his arm around her.

"Nice going Sani." Sirius whispered in her ear. Dasani grinned once again. The four of them soon fell asleep, Dasani laying her head on Sirius's chest, and Lily laying her head on James's chest. Dasani was the first to wake up (for the first time in her life). She quietly stood up and walked out of their hiding place. In the daylight the forest was not nearly as mysterious, nor as frightening. Dasani then heard a footstep from behind her and she whirled around and was face to face with . . .

(A/N hehe I could be annoying and stop here . . . .*thinks of flamer she would receive from Miracle Girls* . . . . uh . . . .or not)

The ever popular, ever beautiful, ever sexy . . .Sirius Black (hehe).

"Whoa! Dasani! What were you gonna do? Kick me?" Sirius said jokingly.

"Yes." Dasani replied.

"Should we wake up Lily and James?" Sirius asked.

"Not without taking a picture." Dasani replied grinning.

"You have a camera? With you?" Sirius said.

"No, but Lily always does." Dasani said grinning evilly. She went over to the side of the hiding place and picked up Lily's magical polaroid camera. (A/N *Grins evilly*)

She quickly took the picture, but not before Sirius moved their hands into compromising positions, which made the whole situation- with Lily almost on top of James- even more hilarious for Dasani and Sirius. She waited until the picture came out, then replaced the camera, pocketed the picture, and yelled, "GOOD LORD LILY! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT ON TOP OF JAMES!"

At this both Lily and James jumped and sat up to face them. Of course, since Lily was now in James's lap, that didn't help the situation, because of course both Dasani and Sirius were forced to fall on top of each other laughing. Then Lily and James were forced to fall on each other laughing at this. Though why I cannot see, since they were together.

Finally Dasani stood up and said, "We should probably get back to the school, since the others are probably almost ready to go tell McGonagall."

All the others agreed. Lily picked up her camera and looked at the number of shots left, "Dasani did you take a picture with my camera?" She asked.

Dasani said, "Uh . . .no." She grabbed Sirius's hand and started running, pulling him behind her. When they were a ways away from their hiding place, they heard a scream of, "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Sirius got the picture at this point and started running also, then stopped.

"This is stupid," he said, "we should just fly. Accio Cleansweep7."

His broom came flying to him and he climbed on, then helped Dasani on. She held his waist and they flew into a window on Gryffindor Tower. When they got into the common room they found all their friends asleep. Dasani shook Remus and Allison awake, while Sirius woke Henry.

"Sirius! Dasani! Where's Lily and James?" Allison asked.

"They're somewhere in the forest, don't worry James knows the way out, and if we had stayed Lily would have killed us." Sirius said.

"Why?" Remus asked frowning, "What did you do?"

"We just helped along the inevitable." Dasani said, and took out the picture. She showed it to their friends who looked at it shocked. "What?"

Dasani looked at the picture and burst out laughing. In the picture now, James was grinning at the camera and holding a thumbs up.

Just then they heard the portrait hole open and Lily along with the rest of their friends came in the common room. (A/N: Yes, even the ones from different houses)

"Hey! Lily brought us with her, we don't have to leave for a few hours yet." Jade said.

"Dasani Bradford. Give. Me. That. Picture. NOW!" Lily said through clenched teeth.

"Uh . . .no?" Dasani said.

"Then I'll just have to take it!" Lily exclaimed. She sprang to Dasani, who anticipated it and started running around the common room. She started hiding behind chairs and people. She was moving so fast that you couldn't see her until she stopped.

"Dasani! I don't care if you are a bloody elf! Stop using elf magic!" Lily bellowed.

"This." Dasani started, moving to a new place with each word, since Lily was still stalking her. "Is." "Not." "Elf." "Magic."

"Then what the bloody hell is it?" Lily demanded, finally stopping.

"I dunno, skill? Elf stealth? The same thing that allowed me to fall seven stories without a scratch?" Dasani said. She put the picture back into her robes.

By this point all the people in th common room, (which was them) besides Sirius and James were standing staring at Dasani dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about?" Rone asked.

"That's what I'd like to know." Remus said.

"Uh . . .am I missing something?" Anthony asked.

"WHAT!" Crystal yelled, spazing.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOT ELFY DUDES!" Jade exclaimed jumping up and down.

Dasani grinned at this thought.

"Dasani's an elf," Sirius said, putting his arm around her waist.

"Yeah right." Anthony said.

Dasani sighed and said, "Do I have to jump down again?"

Sirius shook his head no, and asked, "Does anyone have a plant?"

Everyone looked at Sirius like he was off his rocker.

"There's a vine outside the window." Lily suggested.

Dasani nodded. She went over to the window and touched one of the leaves. The plant started to grow higher, until it went up the side of the window and around, making a sort of green frame.

Dasani looked back at her friends who were looking at her in awe.

"You're an elf Dasani?" Jade asked.

"It seems so." Dasani replied. Then she went upstair and came back a few minutes later with the long box. She sat down next to Sirius and examined it. It was seeming ly made of wood, and she knew it was hollow, but there was no seam. Except for a small rounded keyhole.

"Hey Dasani, it looks like your neck lace would fit in that hole." Remus said, ever the practical one.

Dasani smiled at him and took off her necklace. She put it in the hole. There was a small green flash and the box sprang open. . .
