Chapter Twenty-Five: The Four Essential Plays
"Why do you cry, Sabetha?" asked Genevieve as her melting face surveyed Sabby's.
"Gen? Why…you're melting!" asked Sabby as she cowered below Genevieve.
"I'm not melting I'm dieing." She said gloomily.
"Why?" asked Sabby?
"Why should you care? You're afraid of me! Why don't you just go and leave me to die alone? It's not like you care!" screamed Gen.
Sabby got up and started to walk towards Genevieve and replied,
"You are my closest friend, my one companion I will always care for you how can you think that I would just let you die here all alone? I had to fight with four other people to get the permission to see you again otherwise I would have been lost." Said Sabby tears running down her cheeks.
Genevieve sat down and started to melt against the chair and parts of her body fell onto the floor with a sickening splack. Her face was melting so much it was almost unrecognisable.
"I'm sorry Sabetha I just…didn't know what came over me." She said, "I guess you didn't care for me when I started to pass away from everyone's memories and soon lost. I thought I would go through this alone."
"What? I don't understand what do you mean you'll pass away from everyone's memories? That's impossible!" asked Sabby.
"When I agreed to give my life up for Remus's and the destruction of the Crystal I soon learned the consequences that followed." Said Genevieve.
"I still don't understand." Said Sabby sitting in front of Genevieve on the hard floor.
"I shall explain…I don't have much time." Said Genevieve swallowing hard and she began to breathe harshly, almost gasping for air.
"I went back in time with the help of a guardian of the Soul Crystal and saved Remus from being killed. Then I learned after I did so that I had to go back in time, back to the times of my ancestors and destroy the creator of the Soul Crystal."
"In doing so, I was slowly killing myself. This body is made of clay, Sabetha, its not meant to go through all this! My soul is slowly being degenerated and without a soul the clay body will not function so I will melt until there is nothing left of me."
"I also made a deal with the guardian so no one will suffer after the war with Voldermort my memory shall escape everyone's. No one will remember me my whole life shall disappear from the Earth…you will have Damien to count as your new best friend and your lover." Said Genevieve gloomily.
"No! That's not what I want that is not fair! You cannot decide whether we remember you or not!" Sabby leapt to her feet and screamed angrily.
"What is done is done. Even though you shall never remember me I will always remember you Sabetha. Good bye." Genevieve said her voice cracking whether by her grief or because of her melting throat.
The room began to swirl and Sabby was flung back in the infirmary shaking and crying out in sadness. Dumbledore, Remus, and Harry grabbed her and placed her in one of the beds.
"Did you talk to her?" asked Harry but to no use.
Sabby was screaming and crying and would not stop. Madam Pomfrey came in and bustled everyone out as she drew the curtains around the bed.
An hour passed and Sabby had finally brought her screaming to a standstill. Madam Pomfrey emerged from the whitewashed curtains and replied,
"Sabetha needs a lot of rest and must not be disturbed at this moment it would be wise to continue this conversation in the morning good night gentlemen, Headmaster." She said nodding at everyone and walking towards her office.
Everyone slept uneasily that night for they all were pondering what had happened. They first began to worry when hours flew by and Sabetha had not arrived yet. Remus, Sirius, and Harry were almost tearing out their hair in frustration.
Then Sabetha came out of nowhere crying and screaming and they still had to wait for the answer. The school knew their war was coming closer every day and all because of a crystal.
No one really knows how this came about but soon everyone in the school and even at Hogsmeade knew about the Soul Crystal.
On the following morning, Remus ran towards the Hospital Wing to be stopped by Madam Pomfrey.
"She is not ready to give her account on what she had seen. It seems that whatever she saw has triggered something physiological. Right now the only thing I can give her is rest and relaxation and you bearing down on her is exactly what she does not need. So, I thank you for being considerate but please, go!" said Madam Pomfrey as she literality pushed Remus out of the Hospital Wing.
As Remus stood in front of the doors leading to the Hospital Wing he thought, what if she isn't coming back? What if I lost her forever? What if…
He trailed off as pains of guilt, remorse, and sorrow filled his being, his very soul at the thought of Genevieve…lost forever…
"Remus?" said a voice behind him.
Remus turned sharply to look down upon his most, beloved friend,
"Snuffles…I think I lost her…what am I going to do?" he said his voice cracking with the immense amount of sorrow on his soul.
"Don't worry she'll pull through I know her, mate, she's going to be all right now if you'll excuse me I'm going to try and sneak in and look at Sabetha." Said, "Snuffles" as he trotted into the Hospital Wing.
As Remus walked to his office he plainly heard a woman's screams and a dog's howl near the Hospital's entrance.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sabetha are you sure you are strong enough to talk to them about what you saw?" asked Damien, holding a vase of flowers in his hands as he looked at his best friend with worry etched in his youthful face.
"Of course! Don't be stupid I'm fine I just…got tired and stuff besides I need to tell them! That's why I went where she was in the first place!" said Sabby irritably, which was unusual since she always carried such a cherry disposition.
"All right but I'm staying." Said Damien stubbornly.
"No way! Why should---" began Sabby.
"I care for Gen just as much as you do! She's my friend too and I deserve to hear what happened to her too!" said Damien.
Sabby sighed and looked Damien over. She noticed that his unblemished face had dark, circles under his eyes, which were also bloodshot from lack of sleep, and his face was gaunt, slim, and pale from lack of food.
"You…really seem worried for her too." Said Sabby after a few minutes of silence.
"You have no idea…but that is not the only reason why I was worrying so much." He glanced at her and noticed she looked away.
"Uh…Damien? I just want to say---" Once again Sabby was cut off by the presence of Remus, Snuffles, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Madam Pomfrey.
"Sabetha? How are you?" asked Dumbledore.
"Oh I'm fine enough to tell you all what happened…all of you." She said as she glanced at Damien.
"Are you positive? We can wait a while longer." Said Madam Pomfrey.
"No really I think…I am ready to say what I saw." whispered Sabby as she glanced down at her hands, which were playing with her covers.
"I was in a room and I was alone at the beginning. I was looking around when I saw…her…she was melting like a candle! Parts of her were splashing on the floor. I could barely recognize her with half her face drooping towards the floor." She paused.
"She told me that she was dieing for you," she pointed at Remus, "because she went back in time and pushed you away from harm's way. And she also went and destroyed the creator of the Soul Crystal so the…thing wouldn't exist. But, in doing so, she killed herself because…"
"She was a descendent of the original Soul Crystal maker." Replied Dumbledore.
"Yeah…and she told me that she was doing it for everyone mostly. But that the war would still go on…it is still going to be…she told me…she told me she was made of clay?" she asked them.
"Yes, she was cursed at birth to be a moving, semi-human clay doll." Said Dumbledore.
"But why didn't she tell us?" asked Damien.
"Because she didn't know after she was in the Guardian's Cave the Supreme Ruler of the Universe went to her and told her." Said Dumbledore.
"How do you know this?" asked Sabby.
"Because she told me too. The Guardian came to me and explained the sacrifice that Genevieve made." Said Dumbledore.
Meanwhile, Remus was ghastly pale and a sweat broke out on his face.
She's…dieing for me for us, for the war to ensure our victory against Voldermort?
"She also said that once she died her memory would disappear from our memories! She told me that! Is there any way to undo this?" said Sabby almost in hysterics.
"What?" asked Remus flabbergasted?
"It is true once Genevieve passes from this Earth her memory will be erased from the world. There is no solution that we posses to counteract with It." Said Dumbledore calmly.
"No! It's not true! I will not lose her twice!" screamed Remus.
"Remus calm down it pains me too--" started Minerva.
"No, not the way it pains me! I've lost James, Lily, my parents and family, my wife and now the closest thing I've had to a daughter! It's not fair!" he ran over to Genevieve's bed and took her cold, ice-like hands in his.
"How bad was she?" asked Damien.
"Real bad I think she was real close to…you know." She said delicately as she peered around her curtains to where Remus and Genevieve were.
"Poppy can you give me a full diagnosis of Genevieve's condition as soon as possible?" asked Dumbledore.
"Certainly, Headmaster, I may have it as soon as supper time." She replied her voice cracked from the immense emotions that were troubling her.
"Poppy! Come here! Quickly!" screamed Remus.
Everyone ran over, with the exception of Sabby who was still in bed, and looked over the lying figure of Genevieve.
"What is it, Remus?" asked Dumbledore.
"She's stopped! She's not breathing! Genevieve! GENEVIEVE!" he screamed as he took her by her shoulders and shook her.
Her head moved back and forth limply, her skin neither radiating heat nor possessing colour. Remus pushed her back on her bed and began to sob.
"Remus." Replied Minerva.
He didn't respond while Snuffles rose up and nudged Genevieve's limp, cold, lifeless body. He wined and barked at her to see any response from her.
"The Four Essential Plays, Love, Friendship, Courage, and Wisdom all come together once life is emitted within and gone once life is emanated. Rest in piece." Replied Dumbledore.
As soon as he uttered those words a light secreted from Genevieve's body and began to grow larger until it reached the entire room, slithered out into the school, out on the grounds, and, soon, enclosing the entire planet.
In a flicker the light was gone, and so was Genevieve's body. But in her place was the necklace that she had, the dragon one with a small, never ending colouring pebble like stone in the middle.
As Remus felt a trickle of something leaving his mind he uttered the name,
"Genevieve."
