"You are a child of the Phoenix." Dumbledores words kept echoing around in my my head as I trudged up the stairs to go to my dorm, for the first time in months.

"S- Saph? Is that you? Oh my gosh! What in Godric Gryffindoors name are you doing here? What happened?" Well, Lily was happy to see me.

"Professor Dumbledore required that I sleep in the dorms form now on, sorry if that isn't a good thing to you." I replied, as her face broke out into a huge smile, one that I had not seen in a long while.

"Not happy? This is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time, I hope you can stay here forever!" I sigh, knowing that it wouldn't be possible.

"Sorry Lily-kinz, but I'm only staying for a while." My eyes filled up as I said this. A small flame that was in them died as Lily's face turned from utmost happiness, to confusion, to sadness.

"Why? Is it about Potter again? I swear, one day I am going to murder him!" I stayed silent.

"Saph, I will make sure Potter and his ragtag group of filth never hurt you again, well, not on purpose at least." Lily looked so sincere, I couldn't resist saying a quick

"Yeah, ok." She squealed in happiness, while dragging me into a giant hug.

~Three Weeks Later~

"Look at who's hanging out with my precious Lily again, a shorty!" James was sneering at me as usual, and Lily was ignoring him, as usual.

"What Lily Flower? Are you... Mad? At me?" Lily hadn't even spared a I glance at him since they started teasing me again.

"If I apologize, will you forgive me?" Lily stiffly nodded her head.

"Listen, Sapphire, I really am sorry for being mean to you, and- WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?" His face went from solemn to angry in a matter of seconds. At that moment, I became self-conscious, and saw I was wearing short sleeves. All my scars were open for anyone to see! He looked so calmly angry as he asked me what happened.

"I cut myself." I didn't think he heard me, because of how small my voice sounded. Instead, he broke down into tears.

"I'm so sorry. We should have never tried to make you believe those horrible untrue things about yourself. None of it was true. Not a word. You got so into believing these words of hatred, that you carved them into your own skin. To the point where it was no longer funny. I'm so sorry."

After his emotional speech, I forgave him immediately, jumping into his arms for the hug I had missed for so long.

"I forgive you! I really do." I whispered, fearing my voice would break from emotion and I would cry. After that, we all got along a load better.

~One Month Later~ (Because I can!)

"GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK SAPPHIRE SILVERMIST POTTER!!!" Remus was running after me in the hallway, as I had just stolen his book right out from under his nose. As I turned a corner, I skidded to a stop, not laughing anymore. A Slytherin was blocking the hallway, and wasn't very happy about me almost running into him. No, he did not look happy at all.
