Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't reviewed for . . . . well . . . . . a REALLY long time. I've been busy with school and other things and I've started an original story that's been taking all of my writing time. 0

Well, I hope you like it

"Stop!" He said, "They are not what they appear!" . . . .

The old man limped to Anierin's side. "Fool!" He hissed, "How can you not see that they are deceiving you! The daughter of Faye Eldelivinth was killed with her. They went to their graves together! The one called Dasani has the bow Elvin as well as the cuff that marks the chosen wielder of the bow! The mortals are nor just mortals! They are wizards! You would do better to know those who come into your halls armed with magic as well as LEGENDARY WEAPONS!"

After this Anierin turned to them and said, "You DARE to tell me an untruth in my OWN HALLS!"

Aranrhod interrupted at this point, "How can you say that, she is obviously the daughter of Faye!"

The old man cackled at her, "She reeks of sorcery! I would not be surprised to learn that she is not an elf at all! The only true-blooded one of them is the scrawny child!" He was referring to Arlen.

"Is this true? Are you pretending to be an elf?" Anierin demanded.

"I am not." Dasani replied. "I may not be as old as you are, but I am indeed an elf."

"She lies! Throw her in the dungeons!" The old man croaked.

Dasani put up the hood and took it down once more, "You could, but we would get out." She looked as she did the second time she took down the hood, as she was now she truly looked as if she was the daughter of Faye.

Anierin looked at her in astonishment. "You are not- . . ."

Dasani looked up at him with her pale green eyes and said nothing.

The lord that had not been surprised by anything in hundreds of years was truly astonished by this girl of just sixteen years. He had heard the prophecy and did not believe it to be true, but now as this girl and her companions stood before him, he truly believed that there might be hope for his race. Anierin found himself bowing to the youth that stood before him.

Dasani, on the other hand, found herself being bowed to by an elf- lord who knows how many times older than her. Soon the six were seated at a long table with Anierin and Aranrhod. Dasani learned that though there was no love-lost between the elves of the forest and those of the Haven, Dasani would always be welcome at their tables while Anierin was lord. They also learned that Anierin and Aranrhod had two sons just a few years older then the group. (Not counting Arlen)

Lily and Dasani did rather well, for Lily had easily become accustomed to hearing the Elvish tongue. However, while the boys had become more used to it, they only knew some common words, so Dasani, Lily and Arlen had to constantly translate it for them.

"Where are your sons now?" Lily asked, trying to be polite.

"They never come to the hall. They blame us for their life, for they are not permitted to leave my house." Anierin replied.

"They can't leave?" Dasani exclaimed in the common tongue (English).

"Huh?" Sirius asked, "Who can't leave?"

"Geez, if I was stuck here I'd . . . die of boredom!" James said.

"Yeah," Lily said, "because they'd eventually figure out who was puling all the pranks the way YOU do it!"

"You think YOU could do better?" James asked scoffing.

"Yes."

James turned to Anthony as he said, "Anthony, who do you think would be better at pulling pranks, me, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, or Lily and the others?'"

Anthony looked from Lily and Dasani to James and the Marauders. "Frankly?" He asked. "Them. Definatly."

Lily smiled at James in triumph and Dasani stuck her tongue out at him. The elves present were watching this exchange with mild amusement.

Aranrhod smiled, then looked to her husband and said, "I think that they must meet Calder and Cillian."

The elf-lord nodded gravely. "They will leave with them."

"I know this."

After their meal, Dasani and her friends were taken into the opposite side of the stronghold. There they were taken up to the highest part in the building. In the room at the top of the huge tower they saw two boys a few years older than them. Both had blond hair, one long and one short. The taller of the two was sitting at a window watching the river below. His long blond hair was pulled into a half pony tail. A few loose strands fell in front of his smoky gray eyes. His brother was sitting at a table sharpening a dagger. The boy at the table looked up when they entered the room. He had sharp blue-crystal eyes that made his short hair seem even paler than it was in actuality.

"Inelu, Imuthre." He said.
[Hello, Mother]

"My son, we have brought you visitors." She stepped aside and allowed the others to file into the room. Dasani was right behind her, so she stepped forward.

"Inelu," She said, "I am Dasani."

"Greetings, I am Cillian, and this is my brother Calder." Cillian said.

Calder turned around and met Dasani's eyes. He stood and walked over. "It is good to be known to you."

Dasani smiled. "These are my friends Lily, Sirius, James, Anthony, and Remus."

"We are very glad that you are here and have not been troubled by the soldiers of this palace." Cillian said.

Aranrhod smiled slightly and stated, "They are leaving and when they do, you will go with them." She left the room.

The two older elves stood in shock for a moment and then they turned to the others. Cillian was smiling, while Calder was not.

"We will be glad to join you if you will permit us." Calder said.

"Of course we will!" Lily exclaimed. "Right guys?"

The others agreed and started to help the twin elves pack..

The next day the group left to go back to Hogwarts to finish up the school year. It took them not long at all because they found that Dumbledore had sent a port key that took everyone but Calder and Cillian to the entrance to Hogwarts. They entered the castle and were greeted by McGonagall. She told them that they would begin their classes again the next day, but would be excused from exams that year, instead, they had been monitored while at the Haven and had passed all their exams (A/N: Is this the year for O.W.L.S.??? If so, then they passed those too) They made their way to their respective Towers. After getting their things put away, the Gryffindor friends met Anthony and made their way down to dinner. On the way, one of the 5th-year Ravenclaws, Jake Green, walked towards them. Dasani stiffened when she saw him and moved closer to Anthony and Sirius.

"Hey guys!" Jake called, waving. "Where were you?"

"We had to go to a funeral of one of my distant relatives." James replied. They had previously decided that was a good excuse.

"I sure know how funerals go. Seeing as I've been to lots. My life is really crappy." Jake said. "I'm so glad I have you guys!"

Lily made a face at that comment and Dasani nearly began clinging to Anthony's arm.

Remus looked at Jake strangely and asked, "What do you mean by that Jake?"

Sirius looked relieved and muttered to James, "So that is his name."

"Just that you guys mean everything to me." Jake replied, not hearing Sirius's comment. "I don't know what I'd do without you. Especially you and Dasani, Lily!" Jake walked over to Lily and put his arm over her shoulders. He pulled her closer to him.

James now clearly scowled at the straw-colored haired boy. Jake was slightly shorter than James and had lifeless, light hair. His eyes were no color of notice. He had begun to hang around the group at the beginning of the year and now, thoroughly considered himself one of the 'posse', if you will.

Jake looked over to the opposite side that Lily was on, looking rather peeved and uncomfortable, and saw that Dasani was there, trying to get on the other side of Anthony so she was no longer next to Jake, but Anthony did not let her and laughed at her because he thought she was purposefully overreacting. Jake therefore decided he would take this opportunity to put his other arm around Dasani. Fortunately for her and unfortunately for him, Sirius saw what he was after and stepped in-between them so he was unable to do so. Dasani let out the breath she had been holding and hurried ahead of them to the Gryffindor table, Sirius followed and sat next to her. Lily took that as an excuse to catch up to the two and James followed, leaving Anthony and Remus to look after them wondering what that was all about. Jake excused himself and went to sit at the end of the Ravenclaw table, though he continued to watch the group all through diner.

"What was that all about?" Remus asked.

Anthony shrugged and replied, "I've learned not to ask when it concerns Dasani, it's usually that I don't want to know or I get in trouble for asking."

Remus laughed and (A/N: Dude I just saw the third movie and WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT THING ON REMUS'S FACE????) they sat down opposite Lily, Dasani and Sirius. (Anthony was allowed to sit at the Gryffindor table)

Since they were early and not everyone was there yet, the group talked about what they had missed with their fellow Gryffindors.

"Well, if it isn't the Gryffindor mudblood and her followers! And look! The gay one too!" A voice sneered, "At least he's safe from Bradford."

The group instantly looked up and saw that Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa #$%& (A/N: For those of you who have not read OotP) and Crabbe and Goyle were standing there.

Dasani, immediately broke the silence that she had been keeping and jumped up yelling at Malfoy, "You BLOODY INBORN SNAKE! HE IS NOT GAY!"

"Does it sting that he is one that will never fall for you charms? You don't need him, my pet. I can see it in your eyes that you would make a far better Slytherin than a Gryffindor. Why right now, you are so furious that you would like to hex me." Malfoy said coldly.

"YOU BET YOU'RE BLOODY ARSE I DO! YOU FREAKING WEASEL! I COULD TEAR YOU LIMB FROM FREAKING LIMB! I'M-"At this point Sirius put his hand over her mouth. She continued to rant.

"You're wasting your time. She would never go as low as that!" Lily said venomously.

"And the little Mud-"

"Is there a problem here?" McGonagall asked sternly.

"No." Malfoy turned on a heel and led his group to the Slytherin table. As she turned, Narcissa glared at Dasani.

McGonagall looked sternly at the Gryffindors before heading to the staff table. Dasani shoved Sirius's hand off of her mouth and stormed out of the Great Hall, her friends looking after her confused.

As she was running down the halls, she ran into someone and they both fell down.

"Watch where you're going!" A low, sinister voice growled.

"Sorry." Dasani said. She stood up and held out a hand to help the other person up.

They scoffed and stood up, denying her hand and turning away. It was Severus Snape. "I should have known it was you. Come to finish what you're boyfriends started this afternoon? You're whole pathetic circus had been gone and now that you're back, you all need to catch up on the Snape tormenting that you missed. Why don't you just all get matching shirts or some other foolish thing that says, "I Hate Severus Snape" on it!?" He stormed in his own way that made no sound at all.

Dasani stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes before continuing to the Astronomy tower. When she got there, she climbed outside the window and stood on the large, balcony-like section of roof there. She stood there for a few minutes before closing her eyes. As she did so, the wind began to pick up and blew her loose hair wildly around her face. Storm clouds rolled in from seemingly nowhere and rain began to fall, softly at first, then wildly. The rain drops drenched her hair and seeped through her robes, until she could not be any less dry. Not until the lightning began flashing and she heard the rolling thunder did she open her eyes. She held out her arms like wings and allowed her outer robe to be blown away. She began singing, an Indian song that she had learned long ago.

Ghanan ghanan ghir ghir aaye badra

[Lord Ghanan has brought about clouds]

Ghane ghan ghor kaare chhaye badra

[Rain clouds have shaded the Sky]

Dhamak dhamak goonje badra ke danke

[The clouds drum-like thump is echoing]

Chamak chamak dekho bijuriya chamke

[Look, the lightning is flashing]

Dasani sang only the chorus and then began to shiver. She made her way back through the window as the storm continued to rage. She was startled to hear a voice as she climbed inside.

"Hey Sani."

She recognized that voice. "DON'T call me Sani!"

"Why." Jake asked.

"Because I don't want you to." She said through gritted teeth.

"Awww, come on Sani! Forgive me!" Jake said.

"No." Dasani replied, almost coldly.

"Why are you giving up on this friendship?"

"There IS no friendship." Dasani said. She wanted to get away from him. "You know NOTHING about me."

"I know more than you think."

She whirled around and faced him. "What!? What is that supposed to mean?"

"You're not the only one who I know too much of."

"What do you mean!" She demanded.

"Not yet, I want to find out everything I can from you before I tell you, because you'll tell me anything that I want, because you want to know what I know about you." Jake said.

Dasani gaped at him. It was taking all of her self control not to take out the dagger she had hidden in her boot and throw it at him with all of her might. Instead she walked towards the exit of the tower. She was nearly out when a hand grabbed her wrist, pulling her back.

"I'm not done with my questions yet!"

She tried to pull her arm away, but she was weaker than him (Well . . . . physically). He pulled her back closer to him and was about to say something when Dasani's knight-in-shining-armor arrived , a little late to her liking. Sirius stepped into the room and immediately forced Jake to let go of her.

"What are you doing!" he demanded.

Jake put his hands in his pockets. "Just talking."

Dasani said nothing, but took Sirius's hand and pulled him out of the room with her.

"Dasani! What was that? Where did you go?" Sirius asked.

"I went out to stand in the rain and when I came back in he was there." Dasani replied.

Sirius's face went dark and he muttered something about 'killing the bloody bastard'.

"Sirius, I'm fine." Dasani said.

Sirius looked at her. He gave her a once-over and began to laugh. "Fine except for the fact that you're freezing?"

"Yes." Dasani said. "I am slightly wet."

Sirius laughed some more and said, "We'll just have to make you warmer." He put his arm around her waist. "Or you could take off your wet clothes." He smirked.

"No thanks. Another time maybe." Dasani knew EXACTLY what her black- haired companion was thinking.

The two of them laughed all the way back to Gryffindor Tower, where Sirius made her go upstairs to change, but not before saying, "Another time DEFINATLY." And winking.
