I went to the Youth Nationals Arabian Horse show in New Mexico, and then the East Coast championships in Pennsylvania(another horseshow) and I'm going to the Canadian Nationals horseshow next week, so I'll try to get this and another chapter in before I leave. Once again, I apoligize profusely..

Mystica Dragon- Thanks!! Hehe, I'm sorry about that class at nationals, that really sucks.(yeah my cell phone died, so I can borrow yours? I swear I won't break it! hehehe)

Note: I changed the spelling to Keltic fire elf, because that's what I originally wanted and then messed up. Whoops, so just know the Keltic is the correct spelling.

Disclaimer: It's still not mine and it never will be sigh , why must I keep saying this. Don't sue :). [recap] By this time, the entire Great Hall was silent, staring, shell-shocked at where Jasmine had just been standing. Dumbledore stood up from his chair and said loudly, "I have an announcement to make..." [end recap] now, Su alla storia. (Sorry, I felt like speaking Italian)


[Hermione's POV]

All of the students shifted their looks to intent ones at Dumbledore.

"As you probably all well know by now, our new student is a bit ..different, than you may expect. Am I correct?"

There were more blank stares, someone coughed and quickly ducked their head. Harry looked at Hermione suspiciously, she gave him a cross between a 'Shut up and Pay attention' and an 'I didn't do it' look.

Dumbledore continued slowly, "Whatever I tell you now, shall not leak out of this school, a spell I just performed says that." He paused again and gave the hall a sweeping gaze. "Jasmine La Belle is a Keltic fire elf-" There were a few gasps but mostly blank stares. Draco Malfoy look as if he'd fall from his chair from shock, and Ron and Harry both looked confused and a little freaked out."-She is most certainly not dangerous, but in fact on our side, and I expect no issues with this knowledge." at that moment a very pale and terrified looking Jasmine walked into the great hall. She looked at no one as she walked towards Dumbledore.

When she got to him she said in a quiet yet strangely clear voice that didn't seem her own: "You told them, I expect". Professor Dumbledore nodded and she walked back to the Gryffindor table where she was greeted with unusual, dumbfounded and reproachful looks.

The moment she sat down the entire great hall broke out in loud chatter.

[General POV]

"So you are an elf!" Hermione cried triumphantly. Classes had ended and she was leading them all (Harry, Ron, and Jasmine) to the Room of Requirement.

"Yes," Jasmine replied evenly.

"Have you a problem with that?" They reached the room and Hermione walked back and forth past the wall three times thinking that she needed somewhere private to talk. When the door appeared, it led to a cozy room similar to the Gryffindor common room with a blazing fire. They all walked in and sat down on different chairs.

"What is this place?" Jasmine asked in a desperate, yet futile, attempt to change the subject.

"It's a room that turns into what you want it to- the room of requirement," Harry answered quickly.

"What are you!?" Ron butted in bluntly.

"Professor Dumbledore has already told you," she answered, looking him straight in the eyes.

Hermione stepped in, "What exactly is a fire elf- demon?" She felt funny having to ask a question.

"Elf," Jasmine said sternly.

"Elf?" Ron blurted. "No offence, but you look nothing like a demon or an elf"

Jasmine closed her eyes in concentration, seconds later something else was standing where she was only a moment before. It had to be a demon. it had black hair flaming at the tips, her nostrils were barely slits in her scary white face. She had very pointed ears and red eyes. All three of the other teenagers jumped and let out silent screams. A second later, Jasmine was Jasmine again.

"What.. Was.. That." Harry Choked out, he realized that he and his friends had backed up to the back of the room as far from Jasmine as they could get.

"That was me..In my real form. This is only what I'd look like had I been born human." She gestured to her whole body.

"Stay this way," Ron said frightfully, backing up as if she'd attack him at any moment.

"So, what can you do? Like, what super special powers do you have?" Ron asked, some of his Gryffindor bravery returning.

"I'm Immortal," she said rather proudly. "I mean, we can be killed, but it's not a simple task. I'd rather not say how." She added at Ron's look.

"I can create and control fire, and do spells with fire," she continued, before closing her eyes and reaching her hand out towards the blazing fire in the fire place. The fire trembled in the place, before shrinking down to a ball the size of a tennis ball. It glided smoothly to Jasmine's hand, she opened her eyes and closed her palm. The fire was gone. Walking up to the fireplace, she blew into it and another crackling fire appeared. Harry clapped and Ron and Hermione laughed.

"I cannot believe I just told you guys this! Oh, dude. I'm soo dead, I can't believe he sent that Howler! He knows I'm weaker than him Why does he bother me so much, I'm not a threat!"

"Uh... Jasmine?" Hermione walked up to the girl with a concerned look. "What was that?"

"Oh that?" Jasmine said quickly, clearly startled. She scuffed a foot on the floor. "Oh.. nothing!"

"err... right... How old are you?" Ron walked out from his corner.

"Uh... letsee... I'm.. eight hundred fifty, I think.. yes.."
