Thank you for your reviews!
Katzztar: thank you for the suggestions. The purpose of this fic is to try things that I haven't seen before in other fictions, and elves are kinds common. The rest of your ideas are great, though! I hope to use them in the future!
Sorry this one's short this week.

Hermione sighed wearily as she exited Borgin and Burkes. Another source of information, denied to her. They were running low on help. She made her way back to Harry and Ron, unaware that there was an additional weight in her backpack.
...
Later, when the Trio were settling down for the night, Ron noticed an odd object in Hermione's bag.
"Hermione? What's that weird teapot?" Hermione looked up and replied.
"The teapot is in the cabinet, Ronald. There isn't one in my bag."
Ron lifted the item up.
"Yes there is! It's right here! And there's even writing on it! It's dirty, though." He started to rub the lamp, to shine it a bit. Suddenly, there was a bright flash and a cloud of smoke. The Trio scrambled to their feet and aimed their wands at the figure that suddenly formed. The smoke cleared, and a tall, surly man in Middle Eastern garb addressed them. He looked normal except for a faint grey tinge.
"What do you wish, my master?" Ron looked to Hermione. She was amazed.
"A djinni! I didn't know those were real!"
"A genie?" Harry said. The creature turned quickly and took out a knife.
"Insults and slander! I am a djinn, of the proud race of djinni! Tell me who you are, and face my blade!" Ron found his voice, and immediately jumped between the creature and Harry.
"Hey! If I'm your master, I forbid you to harm him! He's my friend." The djinn immediately settled.
"You have great dark magic on you, friend. I can remove it, if my master wishes me to." Ron lit up, and immediately consented. A great cloud ran screaming from Harry's head. The trio looked at each other in horror, and then Hermione looked at the genie speculatively.

Do I really need to say what's next?
