My new eyes - the left one midnight blue, the right one a glistening silver - widened a bit at my new appearance. The line of my body my sharper and more defined. I was lithe, with a musculature that looked, as well as felt, powerful. My cheekbones were sharp and aristocratic. My hair was still black, but now it was darker, if that was even possible. What was most prominent to me, however, was the fact that my ears now tapered to severe points.

I started to hyperventilate. An elf? The bastard turned me into an elf? How crazy was that? Very!

After I had calmed down, I pulled out my wand and apparated to just outside of Hogwarts. I ran the rest of the way, my newly fleet feet getting me there faster than they ever could have before. I burst in the front doors, and made my way down to Dumbledore's office. I reached the staircase barrier and muttered the password, hoping it was the same as last years. Sure enough, the stairway unwound in front of me and I ran up.

I was to be faced at the top by a very smug looking Dumbledore and a very gloating Voldemort. Voldemort was not as I had last seen him – he had reverted back to appearing as Tom Riddle. He was smirking, though. It was telltale enough.

"Ah, Harry! You're just in time. I'm sorry about this, Harry, but you're putting too many people in danger just through your existence. Goodbye, Harry Potter." Dumbledore did not look sorry in the least.

Voldemort strode forward and grabbed my arm painfully and I was flung into a world of darkness with which I was not familiar.

A/N: Sorry! That was a really short one. I just don't have my muse on today.
