I started the other one. Shades of Ebony. The same events that happen here happen there but it will but a little different because I want to start with the first year. She (the main character) might make an appearance in Shades of Black. Here's the first little bit. I'll have a new chapter for Shades of Black within the next couple days. It's put up at ?userid=608970 or

Chapter 1
"No. I refuse!" I said angrily, my waist length white hair flying around me as I whirled on my parents. I was young, especially by Dark Elf standards, but I was at the age for admittance to Hogwarts, "I refuse to go to that…place!" For an eleven year old I knew what I wanted and didn't want.
"Kerenza!" My father barked with narrowed emerald eyes, "You will go, don't you dare argue. This is not up for discussion. You are going for a specific reason, you know very well what you need to do and you will do it without complaint."
Her ice green eyes narrowed, mirroring his, "Father, please. You'll make me change my name too, won't you? DeNan is a known Dark Elf name. I don't want to go by another name." She wasn't begging but it could almost be construed as such.
"Your name will not be changed; I will not lower you to the level of those idiot humans. You will wear your name with pride, just as you always have. You will be disguised; we don't need anyone knowing what you are. Simple charms will work to change your skin tone. Keep your ears covered, if that slips it's alright because they'll just think you're a High Elf." He sighed, "Our light cousins aren't any of our concern. They will know you for what you are if you are seen by one but you know our relationship with them." He paused. Yes, I knew that we got along well with them; there wasn't any bad blood between us, contrary to Wizard and Muggle belief, "There isn't much time to prepare, you've gotten your letter already. We'll go to Diagon Alley tomorrow."
