Kate walked into the Hufflepuff common room.Her dress for the Yule Ball had arrived yesterday and she was already in love with it.It was a long red one that fitted her perfectly/It hung loosely around her so it didn't outline who under weight she was.It made her looked quite normal actually and she couldn't wait to add everything to it.Kate wasn't usually into dresses as such but when it cae to the Yule Ball she tried to make the most of it because it only came once a year.In the muggle world there was usually just the debs(prom) and that only came in sixth year which was the last year for secondary school in Ireland anyways,she didn't know how the school systems in other countries worked.She had hung her dress back up and had changed her clothes.It was in the afternoon and she had no more classes.They were mostly study classes anyways.She had never skipped class before except for after the first and third Rumor Has It magazines,the first time she had been to annoyed and upset,after the third she just wasn't bothered facing the looks from everyone and she had gone to comfort Alyssa who had been very upset about what had been written about her and Kate didn't blame her,it had been horrible and Alyssa seemed to have gone through a lot before though Kate didn't know any of the details.Kate almost felt like an expert when it came to the magazine.She and a few others had been in the magazine every time.She still didn't understand why her.She didn't remember making any enemies or annoying anyone.It was a mystery to her and she would probably never find out why her and who wrote it.

This year at the Yule Ball she would be playing her violin in the quartet,newly formed.She was looking forward to it.She had never played her violin at a concert,she had played with Sapphire at the beginning of the year but never had she played at a Ball.It would be a new experience,she didn't know if the Glee club would be singing.If they were she would be a busy woman that night.She hoped she and Stefan were going together.It would be a year since he gave her the necklace,she still wore it.She never took it off,except for when she went swimming of a shower.It meant a lot to her.She would have to juggle the glee club,the violin and hopefully Stefan all through the night.She hoped she would enjoy it,she usually did.She walked along the corridors of the school.It wasn't that busy as some students had class.It looked nice enough to walked outside so Kate walked out the main doors onto the Hogwarts Grounds.The lake was sparkling in the sun and it smelled as if someone had just cut the grass.She wondered how they did that,electrical things didn't seem to work her so they probably had a spell to cut it.Since it was spring the leaves were coming out of their buds and all sorts of flowers were making their appearance.It was weird to have Christmas in the heat.To think in England they were getting rain and the days were getting shorter and colder.When she went home for the holidays she would get a big surprise.It was the same all the time.Her body and body clock would have to change complete for a few days before changing completely again.At the beginning she had suffered from jet lag but now she was used to it.

Instead of going to the Rosebush like she had planned she made her way to the Cliff.She liked the cliff,it was nice listening to the waves crashing against the rocks below.She had loved doing that in Ardmore.She would lay on her bed and night and listen to the waves crashing against the beach in the distant,some nights the rain and wind would also be heard.Since the house had no ceiling ,the rain and wind could be heard really clearly.Living in England meant living inland.The beach was miles away and usually her dad couldn't get time off work so they never went to the beach much.She counted down the days till they went to Ardmore or Clonea.Kate was a complete water baby,she loved everything about the water.Waves were her favorite,she usually wouldn't go swimming of it was came a)because it would be way harder to get used to the freezing water and b)it wasn't any fun.Waves gave such a thrill.Jumping over them,going under,doing tumbles either against or with them.It was the best craic ever and she missed it terribly during the school year.Jumping off things into the water was also a hobby of her.There was a pier in Ardmore that was used to dock small boats but that only took up one side.The back wall and corner were left free and even though they were the highest they were the best to jump off.Kate continued up to where a single tree stood at the top of the cliff.She walked over to it and sat down.Once comfortable she closed her eyes and listened to the waves

Sorry got totally carried away there :r
 
It was well known that Sapphire loved art. all forms of it. So it was no surprise to anyone that one of the shirts she chose to walk around in was covered in paint splotches and she smelled heavily of turpentine. Sapphire had been studying for her exams when inspiration hit and she just had to start painting. A few hours and several mistakes later the ball if the clouds was now drying in her room. She could really call it her room because Sapphire had not had a room mate in a long time. She did have them when she had first gotten here and she missed the girls who had shared the room with her but it was better this way. She alarm clock could only be heard by her, no one was there to mind her turning on a light at three o clock in the morning because she just had to get a dream down, and most of all there was no one to judge the scars that where still on her body. Sapphire covered all of them up with glamours during the day but there was no escaping the signs of what she had been through at night.

It Sapphire's wish to cover them up with tattoos when she got the chance to make what she had done in marker permanent. For now though she did a very good job of making her skin into yet another work of art. It was because of this that Sapphire was going to the ball in something loose and somewhat exposing. The dress that she had chosen was white with shades of gray that fell around her in a waspy sort of way. The dress was very pretty she knew this and now knew that she would do it justice but what she was worried about was the song choices. Sapphire had told the others that they had been given a spot for five songs so it was up to each of them to pick one song and the fifth would be a work created by all of them.

Sapphire had spent the better part of three months working the the piece for the fifth song a long side the song that she was going to present to her sister. The closer the date got the more nervous she got. What if no matter what she did, no matter what she took on she would be no one but the school woore? Sapphire shook that out of her head as soon as it came to her. If that happened she still had a good time with friends and she would have a good laugh when the time came. Sapphire was not going to let the Hogwarts masses define who she was. Sapphire walked across the lawns in her thoughts, her feet taking her where they wanted to go. She got to the cliffs and saw that her friend Kate was there. "Kitty!" She called hoping that she didn't mind that Sapphire called her that in her mind but there was something cat like about Kate in her mind.
 
Kate's head turned to face a familiar voice which called her by an unfamiliar name.Never had she been called Kitty before.She had met people with that name but never before called that.At home she had used to be called Kk,but that was an old nickname,after second year it hadn't been used anymore.Kate was a hard name to get nick names for.Well that Kate knew of anyways,there probably was loads of them but Kate wasn't going to get a book of baby names and look it up.Kate quite liked her name,it wasn't too flashy but it was a bit average.Like come on her two sisters had unusual names and well Ryan's wasn't that common either.Kate's originated from the medival England.But then again Kate was a pretty average person,there wasn't anything spectacular about her.Sometimes this bothered her but most times she didn't really care.She was who she was and no one could change her.Not everyone had to look different or be different quite a lot of people were your average jimbob.It's not their fault they were like that,most of the population was that way.People shouldn't focus on how much people are different,realistically everyone is different but some more so then others.It's the way people are made and people have to accept that.

Kate smiled at Sapphire and patted the space beside her.her t-shirt seemed to be covered in paint,it reminded Kate of her t-shirt after she painted the garden furniture though it was either brown or green.Sapphire's t-shirt was an array of colors and she had obviously been painting,she wondered what she had made "Make anything exciting?"She asked grinning.She wished she were able to be good at art.It looked really fun and it was a great was of expressing yourself.Not having to practice it was an added bonus.Kate usually expressed herself by singing or sometimes the violin.All Kate could draw was a stick man,she was better at painting but her art skills were very low.She wouldn't consider it for career ever.Music or English was where her career lay.If she considered a magical occupation it might be with the Quidditch,she had learned to love the sport over her pats few years at Hogwarts.The recent match had just been embarrassing but she had tried her best and that's all anyone could ask for no matter what RHI said.

Kate hadn't talked to Sapphire in a while.She had picked her piece for the Yule Ball and she was practicing,she was looking forward to hearing the one they all played together.It was going to sound awesome and the school were gonna love them and even if they didn't get a very enthusiastic audiance she was still doing something she loved and she had made a really good friend from it.Not much more you could ask for really. "Looking forward to the Yule Ball?"She asked smiling
 
Sapphire nodded. "I call it "Dancing on clouds". It's a children's tale that is told in the world that i created. There are those that represent the elements that are present. There are the people of the stars and all that. When it gets cloudy it means that the lighting people are getting ready to have a ball and the thunder that comes with them is their music. Sort of my way of dealing with our first show." Sapphire said scratching the back of head as she took a seat at the edge of the cliff. Sapphire had now several volumes of the comic book that she had been working on since the start of her time at Hogwarts. She just kept adding to it whenever something new happened in her life or something inspired her to do it. A huge chuck of Astronomy had made it into the pages of the Overworld Chronicles.

Sapphire thought of the Yule Ball again and bit her lip. "We're good, I know we are it's just there are two of us in the quartet that are under scrutiny because someone wants to make our lives a misery." She said shaking her head. Sapphire had concluded that she would not be able to show interest in any guy at Hogwarts without seeming desperate. Even though she hadn't been a major feature this time Sapphire had the whisper following her around again. It was not like the torment that she had gone through at Bella-Donna manor but the 'rumors' officially made it so that her chances at dating at Hogwarts where nil. Not that Sapphire was looking at Hogwarts anymore. The boys here seemed immature at best now. If she wanted something to match her she would have to look to those that had already graduated. Maybe international status was in order. Her sister did go to Beauxbaton after all.

"It's whatever though. We're good and that's what matters. If we're talked about afterwards it will be because we just blew everyone out of the water." Sapphire said cheerily she hoped that this was true but even if it wasn't she still had friends like Kate who knew what she was going through. Sapphire looked up then the question that had escaped her earlier now came back to her. "Have you chosen the song you want us to play?" She asked. Sapphire had already decided that she wanted to play 'A Giver' which she had written the year before and the special song that she had worked on for the ball. The duality of it made Sapphire grin and hoped that the audience would like it too.
 
Kate liked the name of the painting and she could almost picture it.Kate had never been much of a composer,she just didn't ever feel like making a song.She was musically talented but making music just wasn't her forte.Give her a piece of music and she could learn it in a few hours or she could play most of the song back after listening to it once or twice.That was where Kate's talent lay.She also had very good intonation which was vital for any string instrument.Kate was generally good at music.She had always been good at the music theory.Chords and cadances were the easiest to her because of playing the piano she knew what notes came next.Kate had started music because she had had no choice in the matter but as the years went one she had learned to love music,especially playing the violin an singing. "It sounds really good,you have one good imagination"Kate said grinning,really that was what Kate was lacking,she didn't have a very active imagination.She would look at the rational side of things and likes to keep her feet firmly on the ground.Her mind doesn't wander and she never had an imaginary friend or a vivid imagination she just wasn't that sort of girl.She didn't mind but it limited her in some things

Kate chuckled "Well they can say what they want,as long as everyone else and us enjoy what we are doing nothing else matters"Kate said smiling.She wasn't going to be brought down by this magazine,they could say all the wanted.Kate hoped they didn't start off any rumors regarding her and the people she talked to.That would be annoying.She also found it disconcerting the way they got people to brings in rumors about them or they followed her themselves.For all she knew they could be watching her right now and trying to work up a story.She was at a loss as to how they got the pictures but these were thoughts she didn't really wasn't to dwell on because she would just get a head ache from trying to work things about and she had had enough of them to last her a life time.

"Exactly"Kate said grinning,it was an experiment and hopefully it would turn out successful.Not everything in life worked out as Kate had learned to her cost.But they had learned a life's lesson while the were young so they knew what to expect with experiments in the future. "Well I decided to pick a medley of Christmas songs and your classic movements from symphanies"Kate said smiling "It's called Santa at the Symphony"She said smiling "There is the nutcraker,jingle bells the first movement of Mozart symphony and other ones"Kate said.She hoped the audience would like it.It was a catchy piece and they would hopefully recognize all the pieces "So any ideas as to who RHI is?Kate asked curiously
 
Sapphire was talented when it came to creation. Anything that had to do with it she could do. It was her vivid and sometimes over active imagination that made her good at Transfiguration and Charms. It was the same fault that had made her get too low of a grade to continue on in Defense Against the Dark Arts. It was just as well really. She didn't really like Professor Styx all that much anyway. That was the nice thing about sixth year. One could drop courses that where not of interest or one just didn't have the talent for. Sapphire would never let go of Muggle Studies though. It was too much fun and she had gotten her hands on the book Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. "Did I tell you about my latest project? The Covenant of Lincoln, swarn to protect the masses from vampire invasion." She said with a bright smile. This was Sapphire at the very core. Always coming up with something to work on when she didn't have school work to do.

Sapphire nodded at everything that Kate said. "Then you have to give me an the others the sheet music so we can play along with you though I have to admit that I've hardly heard of Jingle Bells." Sapphire said then put her tongue between her teeth. Dympna had never allowed for such songs to be sung at the Manor instead singing things that were more sutible for wizards of their stature. Though Christmas was the only time that any of them could play their instruments without much fear of displeasing anyone. Here there as no fear of that because someone out there had to like the way they played. "You have 'Giver' and 'Scary Monsters and Nice Spirits' down right?" She asked knowing that the answer was yes though she knew it was hard to practice the second one alone.

Sapphire had designed it to be played in a group. Sapphire shook her head when Kate asked if she had any Idea who RHI was. "Some people think it's more than one person. I want to take comfort in the though that it's a girl who is pimply and thinks herself ugly so she has to take out her misery on people who she thinks will cave to her harsh words." Sapphire said rolling her eyes. This was just one more thing for Sapphire to get over. Getting through things like this had been Sapphire's entire life and this was no different. It made it better that she had made a friend out of it though.
 
Kate was a realist and usually pessimistic but that was usually only when it came to fishing.She wasn't a very patient person.And waiting for a stupid fish to catch her bait was tortuous.She usually went with the attitude that they wouldn't catch anything so she usually ended up annoying everyone else with her pessimistic attitude.For most other things she was pretty happy and enthusiastic about it.Being cheerful was something Kate prided herself in.Even though she had gone through a lot of sh!t in her life she didn't let it bring her down and she hoped other people did it too because there was no point dwelling on the past,you should focus on the future because even though the past was important and it helped you become who you are,it's over and nothing can be done about it where is the future is an open plain and you can do just about everything to change it.Every decision you make affects your future."I heard about that before,wasn't it a movie or something a couple if years ago"Kate said "Sounds class"Kate said interested,she loved things like this.

Kate couldn't help her jaw dropping.She hadn't heard of Jingle Bells that was like one of the most well known songs.But then again things had probably been different for Sapphire "I will give ye all copies,there is a seperate part for everyone."Kate said thoughtfully.She hoped they didn't mind reading off manuscript because since there was no photocopier in the castle Kate would have to write out the individual piece.Kate didn't mind,she would write them out tonight. "I'll have to play jingle bells for you,best Christmas song ever"Kate said grinning.She had been singing that song since she was two.She loved it and there was many variations."Yup,really good choice"She said smilìng.Kate more played by ear.She didn't really count ,when playing with the piano because she would just know when to play because it would sound right.If someone played the tune twice or three times Kate would have a good idea of the tune and be able to play.That was the way Kate learned her violin.

Kate grinned "Yeah,,that does make me feel better"She said,she had a feeling it was a group also though.Some references in the magazine had referred to we or our.The seemed to be getting less careful and Kate couldn't wait for the day they made a big slip and everything would be over for them "Well the obviously don't seem to like us"Kate said raising her eyebrows and pursing her lips.She didn't really mind but it just frustrated her the way they got away with it and she had no idea who they were "Pft sticks and stones may hurt my bones but words will never hurt me"Kate said quoting the popular children's poem "It will take a lot more then calling me a twig,branch whatever to get me to cave"She said leaning her head against the tree.

 
Sapphire looked at her friend confused. "Was raised by a woman that thought muggles where the lowest of all life forms." She said pointing to herself. "Does it really seem like I know what mo, moovies? came out in what year? I barely know what a Television is thanks to muggle studies. I will tell you right now though I want an X-Box." She said with a broad grin. Sapphire had to think about the word that she was going to say when it came to something like cinemas even though she had heard of them before though had never been to one. The closest she had come was when the passed one on their way to the tattoo parlor that did the stars on her temple. She still thought that iPod was spelled Eye Pod. She was curios though. From Muggle Studies and from what she heard some of the muggle borns talk about in the school Sapphire could conclude that being muggle was anything but low. If anything it allowed for more creativity because they didn't have magic to give them almost anything they wanted.

Sapphire grinned. "I would like that and the other songs that your playing to see if I know any of them. Jolly Old St. Nicolas was one that the children sang where I came from. But that was only a privilege for those that where good little boys and girls." Sapphire said rolling her eyes. She remembered how jealous she and Ruby would be because the younger kids got presents and all they got was to watch. Then again they knew what the other had to do in order to get the presents in the first place. She also knew that there came a year when Jasper also got nothing. There was another there too in the picture but she couldn't wrap her head around it. She could see her form but couldn't see her face or remember her name.

Sapphire had gone over her memories time and again. She could see the girl but could never fully put together who she was. She gave it up for now. "Exactly and this is coming from someone that's had sticks, stones and boulders thrown at her." Sapphire had gotten over her ugly thing fairly quickly following the imprisonment of Dympna. The one that was still having a hard time accepting herself for who she was was her sister Ruby and she could be a model if she thought otherwise. Sapphire knew though that Ruby was getting better because of a boy named Kennedy and because of all the care she was getting with Morgan. Sapphire kept her promise and wrote to her sister one a week. "I do wish they would let some visitors in for Yule Ball. Ruby would love to see us perform." Sapphire commented.
 
"Point taken,sorry"She said.Sapphire must have had a nasty childhood.Kate counted herself very lucky with her upbringing.She had had a family who loved and cared for her.She had had friends and family and a safe enviroment to live in.When she heard how some people had grown up she felt a sense of relief that it hadn't been her in their position.She felt bad thinking that way but Kate was so happy she had grown up the way she did even though that had been a major cause of her break down in second year.Kate had never thought she would meet such a range of different people.If she had turned out being a muggle she would never have meet people from all these countries and cultures.She wouldn't have meet people with such a range of back rounds.She also would have never met Stefan or any of her friends.She wondered would a lot of things have been different if none of her family were magical.It was a curious thought and from time to time it popped up in Kate's mind. "An X-Bow?Ryan has one and he is never off it"She said sighing. "We have a family one too which is the kinetic one.It's great craic"Kate said grinning,she preferred it too the wii.WIth the kinetic you didn't have to hold anything and the snow boarding games were great fun though she did love the Just Dance on the wii.They were great for the family on rainy days.

Kate had heard of that song,she knew it on the piano.She wondered why that one had been picked it wasn't the nicest of songs but maybe that was just Kate.The woman Dympna seemed a bit queer in the head.Who goes around kidnapping children and acting the way she did.The world was full of evil people and it was horrible when you heard of tragic events like murders or kidnappings.Sometimes the worst ones were people died trying to save others.They had died because they couldn't watch someone being killed.Kate wasn't sure what she would ever do in that situation.Even if she was under age she would use magic.She would probably have the upper hand if she was dealing with a muggle but with a dark witch or wizard she wasn't sure what she would do.Hopefully she would never find herself in that situation.

Kate had learned after second year not to take any notice of what people said about you.So what if they thought you were ugly that was probably because they were just jealous of you.As long as you believe you are beautiful then you are and not all beauty came from the outside a lot came from the inside.Some girls could be so plastic.They may be pretty on the outside but they were probably dead inside or silently dying because they hated the way they lived their life.Kate hoped she never ended up like that.She hoped people never confused her for a plastic doll because she would rather die then become someone with a dead personality but then again she couldn't say they were all like that because she hadn't meet every single girl like that.It would be an unfair statement to make public. "Some things they say are so cruel,I don't understand why we are in every issue"Kate said frowning "I don't remember p!ssing someone off that much"Kate said thoughtfully.She would never annoy someone on purpose.Some people just didn't like her personality which was fine by her she didn't like some people's personalities either but that didn't make her write a rumor magazine on most people in the school. "Maybe if an Ipod works you can record it and show it to her when you home?"Kate suggested.She wasn't sure how electrical items worked here in the school.Her Ipod worked sometimes and then other times it didn't.
 
Nasty was an understatement. For Sapphire to be who she was and still have gone through what she did said a lot about how strong she really was. Sapphire would never see it in herself though. She would always see it as doing what she needed to do at the time she needed to do it. Even if that did include taking damage for her sister when Zeal wanted to play with her. Life had been hard but she wouldn't know what she was capable of if she hadn't been pushed quite so far. Now she knew that she would never hurt for the fun of it or kill just because someone was in her way. She was a good person, through everything she knew that she was a good person. Or at least she hoped she was. "I actually know what your talking about. This is epic. I did research and the kinetic X-box does look like fun so does the Wii but you can do more remote based games on the X-Box. Three words Call Of Duty." Sapphire said with a broad grin. Sapphire was not violent by nature but she did love the first person shooter that she had played at the arcade and wanted to play another like it.

Sapphire nodded. "Tell me about it. I mean I didn't speak to anyone before the other half of fifth year. I thought they would slack off once I was mentioned in the article from the Prophet about the fifteen that where rescued and over two hundred remains being uncovered from Bella-Donna Manor but then I get the comment that I'm going after everything that moves. Is it wrong to want to date while in school?" She asked while tossing her hands up. She really didn't mind what anyone said about her but that last article pretty much killed her chances of dating while at Hogwarts. Her only hope would be if Ruby knew some nice Beauxbaon boys that would be interested in her. There as Alex too that could maybe hook her up if he hasn't claimed the boy first.

Sapphire looked at Kate strangely. "You have an iPod instead of a MMP? They work better and they are available at the music store. I can try and shield the device if you want though. That's what some of more determaned muggle born students do with their electronics. I never quite understand the name though. Why would you listen to something that has eyes in it? I would have though you looked through it no?" She asked not knowing that she was being silly and 'i' meant digital not and actual eye.
 
Kate had never been good at shooting games,she always managed to get shot and die.She was never successfully when it came to two people playing together and trying to kill each other Kate always died then.Always first.Kate wasn't sure why she always died she never managed the whole sneaking around thing.She didn't get all the guns either.But in all fairness t her when ever she played it was against people who constantly played it and knew the ins and outs of the game.Kate would just play to kill some times but it was usually just depressing because she always managed to die first. "You would beat me hands down it that game,I always manage to die first"Kate said grinning.Anyone could beat her in that game.Even someone playing it first could beat her probably.She just wasn't into the whole killing people with guns thing.She liked the PSP better.She found the games on that were better had more of a story to them.She loved fast driving car games.That was the only game on the X-box she was good at.She was going to be an unreal driver when she went for hr exam.Though going way beyond the speed limit and crashing into cars probably wouldn't help during the exam but she would have more knowledge of the clutch etc.

Kate managed not the shudder at the thought of over two hundred remains.Some people were real fighters and Sapphire was one.You didn't go through all of that with nothing.She admired anyone who came out of there still sane. "I don't understand it either.I can't remember attracting that much attention.I didn't do it on purpose.What really annoyed me was what they wrote about Stefan.No one should make a joke out of his life"Kate said a hint of anger in her voice.It would take her a while to get over that.To be honest Kate didn't really mind what was said about her she was just annoyed that she had been written about three times but when someone said something like that about someones life should what type of person they were.If she ever met the group of person that would be the first thing she said to them.She would make sure they'd regret it also.

Kate frowned. What was an MMP? she thought.Maybe that was another word for something she knew.She didn't know what it was now though.She much preferred her Ipod.She had won it in a competition on the radio.It was one of her most prized possessions and she hated the way she couldn't listen to it at night.It probably would have helped a lot last year if she had been able to work it.Kate was even more confused by Sapphire's last words. Has eyes in it.What is she on about?Kate thought a frown on her her face.Then it clicked and Kate smiled "No Silly it's not an actual Eye.It's spelled I-P-o-d."Kate said.Sometimes it amazed her what magical kids thought of muggle devices.Things she wouldn't think twice about would be absolutely fascinating for a magical brought up child."It means internet or it can mean I,depends on what you think.I think it's the best thing since sliced pan.You can listen to music,go on the internet,take photos videos.It's the exact same as a phone except you can't text or call anyone.But there is the viber app and facetime"Kate said.She was a bit of a geek when it came to Ipods but that was it.Anything other then that was too complicated for her brain.
 
Sapphire shrugged. "Get the hang of them pretty quickly but then again it could be my survival mode kicking in and me not thinking about it." She said with a soft smile. Sapphire remembered her time with the toy gun and the "House of the Dead" game that she had found. Sapphire had felt that surge of adrenaline but it wasn't like when she was in danger. She had been excited and had had fun with the fake danger. She wondered sometime if that was how a childhood should have been. Fake danger and laughing at inferi that can be killed by destroying the head. Sapphire paled when she remembered what was written about Stefan. "I was pretty p!ssed about that too. I came across Stefan during the holiday and offered him a spot to stay over holiday. He only stayed for one night but it was one night out of the cold at least." She said knowing that at least Kate would keep what she had just said to herself. Sapphire was also sure that there was no one to listen to what they where saying. The waives below allowed for some cover and no one would come way out here just to get a conversation between "Branch" and "Banshee"

Sapphire shook her head. "Something like that shouldn't be made fun of I don't know a lot of Stefan's history but I know enough of mine to guess a bit. If I'm right it's no laughing matter. RHI went too far with that one." Sapphire said her hand up. Sapphire really didn't care much that RHI made fun of her but she did mind that it made fun of people that she cared about. People like Stefan had been through some hard stuff and to see it in print like that could cause some of the less stable ones to go off the deep end. Not that she got any air of unstable from Stefan. From what Sapphire could see he was pretty strong. "Let's hope that he stays out of the paper for now. If not there maybe blood involved." Sapphire said narrowing her eyes. Having had a hard life herself Sapphire's heart went out to anyone who's life as hard.

Sapphire listened to Kate explain that there where no eyes in an iPod. She was a little doubtful. If it could take video and photo without it being a camera Sapphire was surprised that it wasn't a little person inside the iPod. She reviewed the whole explanation and tilted her head. "Um we where talking about a device that plays music and captures moving pictures and muggle stationary pictures. What do nets have to do with anything and why would you want to go on them?" She asked breaking apart word. Inter could extend into internal which meant that it was inside this pod thingy. Net was a capture device. So in Sapphire's mind there as a net inside the pod. Was it a safety mechanism? Sapphire concluded that she was going to ask that next. As well as acquire herself an iPod so she could see just how something like the gadget worked.
 
"Possibly"Kate said thoughtfully,some people were just good at shooting guns Kate wasn't interested in that sort of stuff.She wasn't into violent sort of things regarding guns.She loved watching horror films.Her parents were a tad bt worried by her obsession with scary movies.She loved the buzz that they gave.She loved a good horror films though they were great to watch.She usually scared everyone else in the film because she usually watched the whole film unlike most of her friends so they would have their eyes closed and suddenly Kate would jump and most probably scream because of what she has seen and her friends would be surprised by her reaction and jump themselves.It would be quite comical watching her and her friends watching the films.She didn't really know how she got into watching the films.She had a feeling it had something to do with her friends.Kate didn't mind gory films with lots of blood it was the paranormal ones and films with things that jump out and come out of no where.Insidous and all the Grudges had probably scared her the most.Woman in Black had been good too.Devil Inside had also been good and it had kind of been funny because she had been watching in the cinema with two of her muggle friends and there had been one or two people and watching other people's reaction to scary films is quite amusing to say the least.

Kate saw Sapphire's face pale ,she didn't know they had spoken before.She was glad that Stefan had stayed the night.She wondered why he had been staying out in the cold.He was supposed to be with a foster family.Kate's face became worried and she bit her lip.That wasn't good at all,she was going to ask him that next time they spoke.He had gone through enough and she hated the way things hadn't settled down for him yet.It was also hard to see the person you love so hurt and lost.She just wanted to pick him up and hold him close and tell him everything was going to be okay but she knew she couldn't do that.She just had to be there for him and help him along the way.It was what she had been doing for the past three years and in terms of their relationship it had worked out.She wished she could just make things better for him in terms of home life.It killed her to see so much anger and loss there. "No it's not and of RHI is ever found he/she better make sure theyr don't cross my path"She said her voice low.She didn't care if she lost house points or what ever, she would make sure they paid for what they had said.Kate wasn't usually violent but when someone close to her was made fun of like that she wouldn't stand for it.A small smile appeared on Kate's face "You got that right"She said.When ever RHI was found there would complete and utter mayhem because a lot of people would want revenge.

Kate knew this was going to be hard to explain if Sapphire didn't know what the internet was.She probably wouldn't have the patience to be a muggle studies teacher because she would get so frustrated over the fact magical brought up kids had no idea what a simple muggle device was.It wasn't in anyway their fault but Kate wasn't that patient when it came to explaining things.She would feel bad about her outburst straight away. "We are except the internet is a huge complex thing.It's very hard to explain.It is a vast complicated thing branching out in so many ways.Your muggle studies teacher can probably give you a better and proper answer."Kate said smiling.She couldn't think of any way of explaining such a vast thing.She didn't understand half of it herself "It's an amazing thing and probably one of the best things ever invented by muggles"Kate said,she loved the internet when ever she went home she would go on it often.There was so many things to do on it. "What kind of things to you do in muggle studies?"She asked curiously
 
Sapphire laughed a little. "Oh when they find out who's behind this it will be war. One good thing happened out of this though. I've made friends." She said looking at Kate with a wide grin. She had quickly become one of her closer friends even though she had not shared a lot of what she had been through. Sapphire had told her about what happened to her of course but had not gone into detail about what happened to her. Of course that particular conversation would take ages and still she wouldn't be done. No best let the newspapers tell the story how they wanted to. It was simpler that way and it gave Sapphire the rest she thought she deserved. "Though the boy friend front might get a dash more complicated." She said with grin. She could tell by the way Kate talked about Stefan that she thought of him as more than a friend. She wasn't surprised he was a cute one and the damage was like candy to those with a kind heart. She only hoped that Stefan didn't hurt her when the time came.

Sapphire listened to Kate's explanation and twisted her lip in displeasure. She was sure that her Muggle Studies teacher would know what was going on but for some reason she wanted to go on this indever on her own. Well mostly she did want to gather information from her friends. Maybe it was a good idea to ask the Muggle Studies teacher. "Oh we went to a cinema for the first class. This semester was about 'Pop Culture' and all that. Surprising how trends work surprisingly similar to each other whether your a Muggle or a Wizard though most fashion does have muggle root somewhere. Something that most wizards don't even look at. One class we went to an arcade and it was fun. It makes me think. If I had been raised by may parents what else would I have known." Sapphire said looking up at the sky. She was too old to be adopted out and even if she had been young enough to do so she didn't want to be.

Sapphire had resented her parents before talking to Morgan. Now she just wanted to kow what happened to make so she could not live with them. Was there another woman with curly black hair and blue than blue eyes? Was there a man with a voice that could stop birds when he sang? "I was taken from somewhere. I took on the name Bookchild when I was little too before I was told that I was a Clow because I had read a book in which orphans with no sir name. A child that exists only in records but with no past. I was proud of having nothing to define me. Now I'm not so sure." She said. Sapphire let her voice get a little dreamy. She as thinking really if she really wanted to search for where she had come from. Where would she start? Sapphire was not the name she was born with for all she knew she could have been called Helena or something more Greek. The possibilities where endless but this was both a good and a bad thing.
 
There would be uproar is RHI was ever discovered.They would have a death sentence of their hand and they would more then likely be expelled from the school.They must be very sure that they won't be found out because of how bold they are in terms of what they write.World War Three would be upon the school when or if RHI was found out.Of course there will be some people who agree with what RHI is doing and will try to protect him/her or maybe they would be by themselves.Kate would make sure to get her revenge though.Hufflepuffs aren't wimps in any ways and they are brave just not reckless and they certainly would go to any lengths to get revenge if the person really deserved it. "That's true"She said grinning back at Sapphire.They had become close friends quickly a lot of it due to their music.Kate had never really shown her musical talent.the Yule Ball would be the first time she would play her violin at a big public event in the school "Well there are plenty of em out there"she said smiling sympathetically.She herself had only loved one boy and she was almost sure it was official.

Kate regretted not doing muggle studies.It would be interesting to see how wizards and witches view the muggle's lifestyle and gadgets.It would probably be very interesting.It amazed her how much magic kids adults could be amazed by some muggle contraption that they used everyday.Kate was glad that she had the best of both worlds.She would hate not to have grown up on the muggle world.Sure growing up in a magical household was probably cool but then they were totally oblivious to how other people lived.Kate had experienced both and she would continue to experience both for as long as she could. "That sounds fun.I love the cinema,what did ye see?"She asked curiously.Watching movies was a favorite hobby of Kate's.She loved action,detective ,horror and chick flicks to a small extent.She hated sad films,she couldn't watch then because she would leave the cinema feeling terrible and sad. A sad ending to a film would ruin the whole thing for her.

Kate didn't say anything about what Sapphire ad said about her parents.That seemed like a touchy subject though Kate wasn't sure if Sapphire was completely correct.Maybe she had been taken and they were still mourning for her or maybe still looking.But then again maybe they would have come forward when the Bella-Donna capture was all over the news.It was a difficult subject and Kate didn't want to pry but if Sapphire ever needed help or just someone to listen she was always there. "I like your surname though I'm sure you will find out one day or maybe you could start a new and find out now what really defines you"Kate said shrugging her shoulders.She had never been in the sort of situation where she had no past but if she were in Sapphire's shoes she would start a new and find out what defined her by herself and not let someone else tell you.She had probably changed a lot since she had first gone into the Bella-Donna manor so she was sure what ever had defined her before hand had changed
