Chapter 7: Home

"Sapphire? Saph?" whispered Samuel as he walked into the office as Sapphire looked up at him her eyes red and puffy tear streaking stairs on her cheeks.

"What happened?"

"Daddy said I wasn't his daughter because those 2 girls I was playing with were mud bloods," she sobbed.

"Don't worry he'll get over it dad just always expects too much sooner or later he'll realize everyone makes mistakes even you though I disagree with dad's views though I don't believe playing with mud bloods is wrong," he said with a smile, that was so sincere she couldn't believe that her brother once tried to kill her. And that he locked part of her soul away in a locket or at least part of it.

"Now come on let's get you home it's the holidays," he said gently taking her hand leading her partially through the forbidden forest. To a tall 3 story house with only a couple windows two towers rising up from the sides the whole things black and gray making it look creepy and more foreboding then it should. As they walked in it was a bit more cheery the whole house blue, green, and silver as she climbed to the left tower her brother helping her as she tripped and stumbled. Her room was dark blue like the midnight hours she loved so much her ceiling enchanted to look like how it did outside just like the ceiling in the great hall at Hogwarts. Showing light gray clouds promising snow as she sat down on her bed which shacked a bit remembering now that it was a water bed set low to the ground the bed pretty much completely black, but with white sheets under the comforter. As she looked over at her dresser easily seeing her red tear stained face in the circle full length mirror.

"Going to be okay?" he asked as he sat by her.

"Yea just go," she said as he looked at her concerned but didn't leave.

"Get out," she said forcing back a low growl her brother looking at her shocked at the sound of her old voice but left stopping at the door for a brief second.

"Don't wear it around him but he dropped this outside his office," he said placing something on her book shelf before closing the door as she got up and walked over picking up her Slytherin locket up off the bookshelf. As she clutched it in her fist her knuckles turning white as she thought for a moment before singing in her slightly high pitched voice:

Carry my soul into the night

May the stars guide my way

I glory in the sight

As darkness takes the day.

As the finished she looked back down at her necklace for a brief moment.

"Let me die tonight," she whispered kissing her locket before setting it back down then went back and laid down on her bed gently and slowly falling asleep.
