Freak
I did not answer their questions, except for one. Why am I called a freak? Because I am different.
Later that day, I was let out, and instead of going to dinner, I went to find a good place. I found a tree easy to remember, and quickly made a small underground chamber with my elemental power of earth. Another thing that makes me a freak.
With a tunnel leading down into it, I made an underground palace. I moved into it and cut off my relations, except for Lily. The only person who knew where I was was Dumbledore, and he swore not to tell. I still went to classes, but the rest of my time was spent underground.
~ Three Months Later~
"Hey shorty! What's up? Oh yeah, nothing for you!" Sirius Black was laughing, one of the marauders favorite things was to bully me. Remus was the only one who didn't, and I still came to help him without him knowing it was me during the full moon.
From being the girl who almost yelled at James on her first day, I went to being the marauders victim. I was taking one of my used to be few walks around the school, but they threatened to make the rest of the school hate me if I didn't take at least one walk across the school grounds per day.
James was harassing me now, "Where do you stay, huh? In the dirt?"
"Actually, yes. In an underground palace that I built." God I hate them! I suddenly and vividly remember what it was like that day I was disowned...
"SAPPHIRE POTTER! Get down here! Breakfast so ready and you need to eat!" A voice screams up the steps, rousing me from my wonderful sleep.
"I will be down in a minute!" I yell back, rolling my eyes at my mothers voice. When I gets down, James is already eating his food and smirking.
"Morning, twin." He spits out the word as if it was a horrible curse. Usually, I can hold my tounge, knowing that James will blame it on me and say something bad. But time I can't, and I yells out for mom.
"James is insulting me mom!" I scream halfway across the house.
"SAPPHIRE SILVERMIST! NEVER YELL ACROSS THE HOUSE!!!" She thundered, rushing towards me. "I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS NONSENSE IN MY HOUSE ANYMORE! OUT! OUT! GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK!!! I HEREBY DISOWN YOU!" Through all of this, what was James doing? He stood there shock etched upon his face. A single tear welled up in my eye, as I ran away, far away from that horrid house, and all I had grown up with.
Sapphire! Snap out of it! I scold myself mentally, not really paying attention to the marauders. "Fatty! I said, where do you really live? In a garbage dumpster?" This time it was James.
"I'm not fat." I whispered, they probably didn't hear me.
"Is that so? You probably weigh 200 pounds with all your fat!" Evidently they did. I couldn't take it anymore. Three months, and torture every day!
"Shut up! Just shut up and leave me alone! The only one actually good in your group is Remus! You are just bullies, and you need other people to have fun! Just shut up!" Without me noticing, earth started to float around my head, and water was swirling around my feet. Above me, there was a thundercloud, and my hands were on fire. James eyes widened and he slowly backed up. Before I knew what was happening, Remus grabbed my hands, slightly burning himself. Immediately, everything was back to normal.
"Remus! I could have killed you, don't ever do that again!" I almost broke down, but I has to stay strong. Remus pulled me in for a hug, and I gladly accepted.
"I want to show you something. Follow me!" I called out to Remus over my shoulder and started walking to my tree.
"Freak! We weren't done talking yet!" Sirius stood in front of me, blocking my exit.
"Should've known..." I mutter under my breath, bracing myself for whatever came next. My neck whipped to the side as he slapped me, and it left a stinging sensation.
"Remus! Follow me, please!" I start running away, and hear him tell them that he is going after me, and they can just wait. I was hidden behind a pillar.
"Boo! Come on, I want to show you where I live." He follows me obediently, asking, "How long have you been an elementalist?"
"Well, since I was born, I think."
"Why don't you ask your parents?" My eyes welled up with tears threatening to fall.
"I... I don't have a mom."
"You're an orphan?"
"No, she disowned me and I ran away. Remember the first day I was here? Potter, that piece of filth, had never even tried to look for me, and that's why I got angry. Also, I'm sorry that I might have freaked you guys out with knowing every secret of yours." By now, we got to the tree, and I climbed up it, helping Remus up.
"Saph? Where'd you go?" I had gone down the hole in the center of the tree.
"Down here!" I called up, dragging him down.
"Wow. What is this place?"
"... My house? I made it when I got out of the hospital wing." I started dragging how towards my smallest library.
"You can look around a bit if you want to." "How... How... What... Where did you get all of these books?"
"If you like this one, I have another somewhere you would like..." Again, I dragged him through the halls, to my biggest library. When he saw it, he fainted, leaving me to drag him back to his friends.
