Chapter Twelve: Silver Teardrops From My Heart

A sudden hush overcame the Common Room when Sabetha came back from her detention with Snape. It was obvious that she was furious and ran up to her room and shut the door with a loud bam.

Genevieve was still working with her Defence Against the Dark Arts essay and didn't even bother looking up but deep down inside she had this nagging feeling. A little voice that kept saying go talks to her see what's troubling her. But Genevieve just pushed that little voice further into her head and continued writing.

"What's wrong?" asked Damien.

"Nothing, see I'm perfectly calm." Answered Genevieve.

"That's not what I meant what's wrong between you and Sabby? You guys really hit off when you first met each other why don't you guys go make up?"

"Hey! It's her fault for snapping at me she should apologize not me why don't you go and ask her why she's so tetchy."

Genevieve then continued writing. Damien sighed and walked toward his room. It was late at night when Genevieve finished her essay she decided to sleep in the Common Room she didn't want another little scene with that girl like in Potions.

She awoke just as the Ravenclaws were heading to breakfast as fast as she could she took her books and ran to the Great Hall. Once she reached the doors Harry stopped her.

"Where were you? I was waiting all most all night I got worried what happened?"

Genevieve gasped. No the meeting I totally forgot, she thought!

"I am terribly sorry Harry I just got caught up in something and I totally forgot um…you don't mind if we talk tomorrow at Lunch? Since I'm free at that time?"

"No, not at all. Aren't you hanging out with Sabetha?"

"Uh…no we got in this huge fight and we're not talking."

"Is that why you missed our meeting?"

"Yeah, again, I am so sorry."

"It's ok I understand you."

"How so?"

"I've also had friend problems but they usually end really quick my advise to you make up as fast as possible. It's not worth losing a friend over something stupid. In the end it's going to be real lonely."

Genevieve nodded and followed him with her eyes. She noticed how close he was with Ron and Hermione.

All right Harry, she thought, I am going to the bottom of this stupid charade!

Genevieve ran back to her Common Room and up to her room she, luckily, found Sabetha getting up from her bed.

"What do you want?" asked Sabetha.

"I want to apologise for whatever I did. I don't know what I did to tick you off but I am so sorry I really didn't mean what I did. Maybe if you talk to me I'll know and I'll never do it again. I really don't want to be enemies with you I love you like a sister, Sabby, please will you forgive me?"

Suddenly, Sabetha hugged Genevieve and started crying. Genevieve was caught off guard no one had ever hugged her like this.

Sobbing Sabby replied,

"It's not your fault it's mine I should have never yelled at you I am such a dim-witted git I am so sorry Gen!"

"What's wrong?"

"Read this."

Sabby handed Genevieve what appeared to be a newspaper clipping. In bright, bold black letters read, Entire Family Slaughtered after Death Eater Attack!

Genevieve gasped and read on,

After what seemed to be a happy, family reunion became a mourning centre for the close friends and surviving family members when the Andersons were brutally murdered on Christmas Eve. The Andersons, who a few days ago we had as missing people, were found brutally marred and mutilated. Throughout the bodies some other missing family members were also found.  Many people who were close to the Andersons are exceptionally devastated over their loss. "I just can't believe it. Everyone man woman child just…gone like that. And those Death Eaters…they have no compassion for human lives I am deeply disgusted and sadden by what happened today." Said an anonymous witness. To read the full story, please, flip over to page 35.

Genevieve looked over at Sabetha her face was wet with fresh tears and her eyes were bloodshot.

"I am so sorry Sabetha I didn't know…"

"It's all right I was just moody that day in Potions and well…"

"It's fine you don't have to explain I would probably…be that way if I lost everyone I cared about."

Then out of the blue Genevieve felt as though her skin was being pulled, slashed, and burned. Her potion! She forgot to take it!

"Uh I'll be right back I have to uh use the bathroom it's an emergency but I'll be back don't move!"

Genevieve ran as quickly as possible toward her bed, took her potion, and ran to the nearest lavatory. As neared the door when Malfoy grabbed her arm.

"Well, well, well if it isn't little Miss Perfect why in such a rush?"

"Get away from me Malfoy I don't have time for this."

"Oh but you had time to go to the Forbidden Forrest last night…with Potter."

She turned around sharply and gazed into his cold, malicious eyes.

"How do you---?"

"I saw you when I headed to my Common Room after working. What were you doing with The Boy Who Lived at that hour?"

"None of your business that's what now let me go or I swear…"

"You'll do nothing of the sort because then I'll tell everyone about your little secret."

Genevieve was nervous, does he remember me from Diagon Alley does he really know my horrible secret…or my past, she thought?

"What secret?"

"About your scars."

"What scars I don't see any on me."

"I remember you now from Diagon Alley you were with that retched werewolf and you had those horrible, ugly scars all over you. I see them now."

Genevieve touched her cheek and felt her skin tighten and some scars emerging.

"You might want to watch your back, Coronet, or you might get more than a few measly little scars on your body. And you will answer my question later."

He strutted back to where he came from. Genevieve just stood there shocked did that really happen she thought would he tell does he have the guts to tell the school about my…true appearance?

Genevieve walked to the bathroom and drank her potion and glanced in the mirror. Her scars shimmered and disappeared. She was suddenly depressed about her scars and her past. She sat on the floor and began to weep in her hands.

She didn't know how long she sat there and pitied herself but she then regain her composure and washed her face. She checked everything over and walked out of the restroom. She walked to her first class and waited for Sabetha. She saw her coming with her eyes still bloodshot maybe she didn't know she could simply conceal them with a charm but Genevieve kept quiet.

"Where did you go? You didn't come back I brought your stuff for Charms."

"Thanks uh I ran into Malfoy and he insulted me and well long story short he's totally ignoring me and I am still better than him."

"Yeah you go girl," said Sabby laboriously.

 The lesson was somewhat better than before for Genevieve at least Sabby was talking to her even though both were extremely down. Everything was the same until dinner.

"Genevieve may I talk to you for a second please?" asked Professor Lupin.

"Sure." Answered Genevieve.

They entered an unused classroom where Sirius was sitting behind the desk in the far left-hand corner.

"Ms. Coronet detention for being late to our meeting."

Laughing Genevieve answered,

"You're not a professor so you can't assign me detention."

"Yeah? Well, what's his face over there is so by him I can give you a detention." Said Sirius smiling mischievously.

"Besides," said Remus, "Our detentions are more fun like writing and telling stories of our days when we were your age."

"Really? Then should I stop doing my Defence Against The Dark Arts homework?"

"Hahaha…no. Anyways, we wanted to know if everything's ok between you and Sabetha."

"Is nothing safe in these walls?"

"Nope hey Remus remember when we cursed Abigail Merryweather and we promised her brother to keep it secret pfft some of the teachers still talk about that one." 

"What do you mean 'we' it was all you and James I was in the hospital wing that week remember?"

"Oh yeah…good times aye?"

"Good times."

"Boys?" asked Genevieve.

"Yes?" answered both Remus and Sirius.

"I can answer your question now me and Sabetha are friends again the whole thing was about her family."

"Yeah I read it on the Daily Prophet must be devastating losing everyone you love in one day." Said Remus.

"You have no idea." Whispered Sirius.

"Yeah…well I'm heading to dinner so…good bye."

"Good bye, Genevieve you better…detention!" Said Sirius as he waved his fist at her. Genevieve laughed at him and walked out.

"I love her." Said Remus.

"What?"

"You know I never thought of settling down and having kids of my own…that's why I really love being a professor. I never found that "girl" who would love me even if I were a werewolf and I would love to be a father. I can just see Genevieve as my daughter…she knows what it feels to be pushed aside for something you don't have control over."

Sirius got up from his chair and hugged his friend. He felt sympathy for his friend since he was bitten at a young age and suffered for most of his life.

"Yeah…she's a great kid."

 ~*~ @----------------/----------------------------/----------------------------/------------------- ~*~

Genevieve's spirit soared with Remus and Sirius's talk. They made her at least smile and she flopped down on her bed putting her arms under her head. She looked at Sabby's bed and noticed a note on there. Curiosity overtook Genevieve and she ran toward the note she grabbed it and read the following:

Look at what you've done

You've left me here to stay and you have gone.

But I've seen this too much why linger and see.

I have found my true destiny!

Silver teardrops from my heart pour down

Silver teardrops from my heart drop to the ground.

Silver teardrops from my heart cascade where none of it can be found.

I see now, what I never saw before.

A love that exists never more

You blinded me with gifts but never showed me anything more.

I'll leave never to return so you can face the same fate I did long ago

Written by: Sabetha Anderson

Genevieve's cheek were wet with tears again as she read the poem. She didn't know why this poem was affecting her so much but she felt so lost, alone, tired and hungry for a love she never did have. A paternal love Genevieve sat down on Sabby's bed and began, for the second time in that day, to weep uncontrollably.

Another Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter seems so…depressing but I am feeling down I am sick so yada it doesn't matter. Coming up, Fallen Embers, we visit the graveyard where the famous Andersons and Potters are buried, more Remus and Sirius, some studying, and we find another shard! Yada!
