Dinner

Demon turned to Professor Dumbledore as he continued. "Miss. Pendragon, if you could demonstrate your powers and tells about yourself." He finished giving Demon a slight nod. She turned once again to face the students.

"Ok. Well, let's see. I've been teaching myself magic since I found out I had it. I figured everyone had the powers I had. My friend," Demon said pointing to Dante who watched as she walked back and forth. "Has been training me and helping me to control my powers, which I'll get to in a moment. Other than magic I've been training for 11 years at many different forms of hand to hand combat. If you would like a demonstration I'll need a volunteer." She said looking around the room. She looked to the far side of the room and once again saw the blonde boy sitting there with no expression on his face. The boy sitting two seats away from him stood and began walking towards the front of the room. He was chunkier then her with sandy hair and dark eyes and appeared to have more muscle. Demon looked over at her friend and saw Fred and George talking to him, but Dante never took his eyes off the situation. He saw the boy and looked back at Demon, they both smiled at each other trying to hold back their laughter. Dante said something to George without turning around and he and his twin got a confused look on their face. Demon turned to face the boy as he reached the front of the room. "And you are?"

"Dan." He said in a low voice.

"Alright then, attack me." Demon said standing there casually, not bothering to take any sort of ready stance. He went to punch her in the head but she ducked and punched him in the ribs. Demon took a step back and waited for him to continue his assault. He took a step towards her and went to punch her in the face again. 'Why do they always go for the face first?' She asked herself. She sidestepped and went to kick him in the stomach, but the guys reflexes were getting better he grabbed her foot. Before he could tell what she was going to do Demon jumped into the air and swung her other leg around, her coat swaying as the air shifted. It connected with his temple; he released her foot and fell to the floor clutching the side of his head. Demon landed on her feet and went to see if the guy was okay. "Are you alright?" She asked softly trying to help him stand. He grabbed her arm and threw her a few feet away she landed on her side. "I'll take that as a yes?" She said a bit louder. She jumped to her feet as the boy charged at her again, he began to punch her in the rib cage but she blocked punch after punch. 'Ok. This is starting to get old.' She thought to herself. She grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back, he tried to hit her with his other arm but she grabbed that one to and held it in mid air. She kicked him in the back of the knee and he fell to the floor. After a moment of holding him like that she released his arms and took a step back. He glared at her before heading back to his seat.

"Ok. So now, you wanted to see my powers did you not Professor?" She asked Professor Dumbledore. He nodded and she continued. "Well let's see. There's my telekinesis." She said waving her hand at the goblet in front of Professor McGonagall. It floated five feet into the air before she eased it back down to its rightful place. "There's telepathy." She closed her eyes and concentrated for a few moments. Upon opening them she looked to a girl at the back of the room. "Some of you are worried about the potions test you have tomorrow morning. You don't feel you'll pass it." The girl stared at her in amazement. "Then there's my all time favorite power, Pyrokinesis." Half of the students looked confused, the other half kind of scared. "For those of you who don't know what it is. Pyrokinesis is the ability to start fires with your mind." Demon looked down to the floor and stared at it, within a little less than a second a fire had started. She looked up to see astonishment on most of the faces. She looked at Dante who was taking off his coat and laughing at the looks on Fred and George's faces. She gave a small chuckle then waved her hand and the flame got smaller and smaller until it was no more. "So that's it. I'll shut up now. And let you get on with your lives." Demon said before heading back to her seat. When she sat down she took her coat off.

Professor Dumbledore stood a moment later and said, "Let dinner begin." Suddenly the tables were filled with all sorts of different food. Demon sat there as everyone at the table began grabbing for something to eat.

"Hey. Eat something." Dante said noticing her empty plate. "Just because we won't be here nagging at you to eat something everyday doesn't mean you can go without food." He said. Demon smiled remembering how she and Kira would never eat and that he and all their other friends, including Hunter, would force them to. Also how they would force each other when the others weren't around. "Hey Fred, George can I ask you a favor?" He said looking past Demon.

"What do you need?" They asked in unison.

"Make sure she eats at least twice everyday." Dante said. "She has a tendency not to eat then she gets sick, especially when she's depressed, alright? Force her if you have to. She's used to it."

"Of course." George said as Fred nodded. "Anything else we should watch for?"

"Well as long as we're going over my bad habits. I don't sleep right or sometimes at all. Umm, what else? Oh yeah the arm thing if you want to tell them about that, the low self esteem. That's all I can think of right now." Demon said putting a bit of food on her plate. "I guess its better that they know instead of finding out the hard way eh?"

"Yeah it is." Dante said before shoving a forkful of food into his mouth.
At this point Fred and George looked incredibly confused. "Uh, care to explain some of that to us?"

"Sure why not." Demon said. "I don't sleep right for reasons unknown. I just wake up in the middle of the night, fall asleep an hour later and so on, then I fall asleep during class. I'm always putting myself down. And when I get really upset about something happening to someone close to me I tend to dig my nails into my arm and draw blood. It doesn't really hurt… anymore." She finished taking a drink from her goblet.

"Ok…." Fred said looking down at his plate.

"But the arm thing hasn't happened in a long time. So don't worry about it. So what do you guys do around here for fun?" Demon asked. "I'll have to get used to the school before I can pull jokes on anyone." She said more to herself looking around the room. They talked and laughed for a while about pranks the twins have pulled off. They introduced her to their little brother Ron and his friends Hermione and Harry. "Call me Demon. It's easier than Desdemona. Oh by the way," She said turning back to Fred and George. "I got to take my O.W.L.'s for the next few days so I'll have some time to think up some pranks if you guys are in." They smiled and agreed very willingly. Demon began to get tired and leaned her head on Dante's shoulder as he talked to the twins about something or other. A few moments later she felt something poke her in the sides. It was Dante and Fred.

"You told." She said to Dante punching him in the ribs. The two boys started laughing and soon Demon joined in.

"We need to get back to the common room to do some homework. Want us to show you the way?" George asked Demon.

"Yeah sure, can you wait a sec though? I need to ask Professor Dumbledore something." Demon asked pulling her coat back on.

"Sure." Fred said.

Demon headed up to the staff table towards Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. "Excuse me Professor's. I was wonder, since I am still training and developing new powers, if Dante could come and visit and teach me to control them. I don't want to lose control of them and hurt someone." Demon said honestly.

"I think that could be arranged." They said.

"Thank you." Demon said before heading back to her friends. "Dante, Dumbledore and McGonagall said that you could come back and visit, to help me with my new powers. You want to?" Demon asked as her friend pulled on his coat and he and the twins, Ron, Harry, and Hermione stood up.

"Sure, I'd love to. I can help with some of your pranks." He said as they made their way to the Entrance Hall. Demon gave Dante a hug and watched as he walked out the door into the darkness. Once he was out of sight Demon followed Fred, George, Ron, Harry, and Hermione to the Gryffindor Tower.
