The Drawn

[Sapphire Bookchild]

Sapphire was working hard but not on homework. She was working on the wordless narrative that she was going to send to Morgan. Every drawing had to be exactly as she remembered it. From the time she and her siblings had played together only to have Zeal ruin everything by crushing Ruby's fingers with the piano cover to the near homicidal break down that Jasper had not too long before William took him from the Manor to her own torture at the hands of Dympna before sending her out into the world. Sapphire's pencils where scattered all over a blanket she had set out in the sunlight so that the sun could touch her freckled cheeks.

The memories that she was reliving but the more she drew the freer she felt. She couldn't say or write a thing but her hands would tell her story. A new bravery was rising in the teenaged Hufflepuff that was more than she had every expected in herself. Sapphire put down her pens for a bit then layed back on the blanket to look at the sky. Life was wonderful when one didn't feel like they should be dead. Life was wonderful when one had something to look forward to. Sapphire felt like she could fly without a broom if she wanted to. All because she had been cast out. Being unwanted had never felt this this good.

Tyler yawns. His trip back to New Zealand had been a very long one. Since his parents didn’t approve of him apparating with a fifteen year, they made arrangement for him to take a muggel airplane and from there he had someone from the school escort him the rest of the way. The trip had taken a toll out of him. He was completely exhausted, he arrived morning with his trunk dragging behind him and the keeper of Hogwarts taking him up the castle. He didn’t have time for classes or get reacquainted with house mate. He barley saw Makaylah when he got there, Tyler went to his room and took a long needed nap. When he woke up, he had a letter from the head of house waiting for him, since he been home schooled he didn’t have much too caught up on. His parents recommended grades and school work was stack next to his bed, he would go through it later and inform his head of house.

Instead of lying in bed or unpacking his stuff in which he did half of it already, Tyler wanted to go outside. He left the Ravenclaw’s tower with comic book stuff into his left pocket. He wore a light jacket, due to traveling his body needed to get use to New Zealand again. New York weather had been brutal, but now he was here and it was pleasant to the fifteen year liking. As he exited the grounds, there was no surprise to see other students were outside enjoying the weather. Some were chatting; others were reading by the garden, some even dare to swim in the lake. Tyler headed for the more quiet area; he had his comic book with him. He wasn’t obsessive about them that much, lately he was more into having fun and going out with his friends back home. Though reading them once in a while made him realized he still liked to read them, searching around the grounds for a place to sit he spotted someone in the way of his destination. Out in the open he saw her face, the crazy girl who’d written all over him couple years back was still there. Quite amused that she had lasted this long being here, Tyler went over to her. "Hey you little freak still here?! What are you drawing there?!" he yank the book away from her, and flip through the pages. "Let's see what you got here!"

Sapphire reached up for her book but then saw who had it. She reched for her wand and spun it in between her fingers as if she where going to cast a spell but she then she started to make trails of light with it. It is too much for the sensibilities for the students. That is meant to be presented to the Ministry of Magic when I'm done with it. Sapphire wrote in the air. The images on the pages he was flipping through where of siblings. How Jasper had been there first and Ruby had come in after her. The expiraments ran on them by 'Mother' and now each of them had suffered because of them. Sapphire expected Tyler to drop the book as soon as he saw Jasper's twisting shape.

Sapphire tucked her gray knee sock covered legs under her expecting her leather bound sketch book to drop from his hands. He was going to call her a freak for being a part of such a house hold but Sapphire didn't rightly care anymore. As lone as people knew her story and how she had come to be the way she was it didn't matter. Not even if Spider-Dork made an issue of it like he had done about the fact that she couldn't speak. In the book too told how she had lost her voice. Sapphire had seen Dympna cast curses on Zeal, attempting to make his mind crack. When she screamed Dympna silenced Sapphire forever. Freaks are made Spider-dork, not born. Sapphire wrote looking up at him, her eyes narrowed. She had her art pens with her so she could always find her revenge on him that way again.

Tyler flipped through the pages; it’s disturbing to see how the silence ones are. He didn’t see what normal girls would draw, like butterflies and daisies, or whatever that possessed them to draw such things. What he witness was something beyond normal, it’s no wonder he called her a freak. Look at her drawing, his face went from toying with her to completely what the hell is wrong with you expression? He rips through all of them in matter in seconds and tossed the book right back to Sapphire. She used her wand in ways to communicate with him. “What the hell is that supposed to mean anyways? That you’re a little loony? That you think perverted thoughts about people” her drawing only egg him on to act this way. He was malicious and took no regards to the policy of the school when he just got back to Hogwarts that same day.

“Is that the reason why you can’t talk? Huh? Cause you’re mental and then some” he kept babbling on, Tyler must’ve been hit with the babble curse before he left the common room. It seems like all he did was talk his brains out. But it made it fun for the Ravenclaw, look at me talking Sapphire he wanted to scream out. “Why not be normal like other girls and stop acting like a little creep for once!” knowing she could hear him; he took full blown advantages of being able to scream like that. “Maybe you’ll get like, hmmm maybe you won’t die a virgin!” he poked her sides. He grabbed at her waist and pulled the Hufflepuff close to him, but if there was anything he could not deny that Sapphire had looks underneath all that weirdness to her, and the poor girl was blind to see it. Teasing her he let her go and ruffle her uniform skirts. “I bet you like that, wouldn’t cha?!”

Sapphire was inflated with the indignity of it all. Just once she would have liked the chance to say what was on her mind without having to translate herself in written from later. She would yell at Tyler all the obscenities that where flying through her head that moment. Mental? Of course she was mental, how could anyone get through Bella-Donna manor and not be a least a little cracked. Sapphir deflated when he started talking about perversion. She knew about it of course because of her brother Jasper and his over affection. Sapphire blushed a deep crimson.

Normality was something she knew nothing about. Her family was strange so why wouldn't she be. She hd always questioned what normal was even before Tyler told her to stop being a little creep which she had no clue why he would even call her that. There was nothing creepy about her. The Ravenclaw pulled her to him and her eyes went wide. She had imagined what kissing was like but never imagined that she could ever do it. Also all that ever went through her head was kissing not anything more. The very thought of it imberessed her. She was too frumpy, too plane and much to misshapen to ever even think of being touched the way he implied. She tried to push his hands away from her school skirt like he was infected with something nasty. Sapphire looked at Tayler, her eyes now wide behind her glasses.

He was scaring her, that’s a good sign. He liked the whole bewilder look, she act as if she saw a ghost or something. To make this a little more interesting he started to act gentle around her. His intention to annoy her had change in a more different attitude. He had this cheeky grin spread evenly across his face. He was not for being this flirtatious; he was more like the one being chased. Here he was being the chaser. He lick his lip and bit down the bottom half. He step a little closer and grab for her glasses, slipping them away from her eyes while he ‘sssssh her’, it was kind of creepy if he said so himself. He tucks the glasses into his pocket, for safe keeping. He’s not that cruel.

With that out of the way the dirty blonde moved an inch close to the scares Hufflepuff. He had his fingers at his lips for her to keep quiet, how ironic was that? Imagine if she was to scream now, what rotten luck would that be? He dared to be daring, looking at her deep blue eyes. Bringing her in once again, he wrapped his arm around crazy and in one motion flat out kissed her on her lips. And not just any kiss, Tyler was getting down and dirty. Really repulsive and stuff with this girl. If he was going to be her first kiss, he might as well leave her with an overearning impression of him. He vibrated his lips, did a little exploring, and took her breath away literally making last above normal. When he was done, he step back and grin.

 

[Sapphire Bookchild]

Sapphire was shivering now. He reminded Sapphire of Zeal when he wanted to play with them and that always lead to hurt and tears. She took a step back but that didn't save her glasses from being taken off her face. Her eyes where big, glassy and expressive. She shivered under his touch and not in a good way. Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me! her mind screamed but she couldn't get the words out for clear reasons. Of course Tyler couldn't read her mind so he did as he pleased with her. He stole her first kiss all the while feeling her up slightly.

At first Sapphire was in shock. He kissed her? Who would bother? She waited until Tyler was finished with her. Sapphire staggered back as if she had been hit rather than kissed. As she looked at the lemon-sucking grin of his the shock faded and was replaced with out rage. He didn't love her, he didn't even like her. Tyler had gone out of her way to make it quite clear that he though her abnormality was something to be looked down upon. Once more she puffed, her eyes narrowed in rage. Sapphire found her wand near her feet and used a non-verbal full body bind on Taylor. Even if she didn't hit him with the spell she would hit him with what she did next.

Sapphire curled herself a little and knocked him round the stomach. Once on the ground she sat on his hips the summoned one of her drawing pens to her hand. She remembered doing this to him the first time she had met him but she thought it had done the trick before because he avoided her a bit afterwards. Sapphire held his head still while she wrote in her finest calligraphy 'Pervert' across Tyler's forhead. Once she was done she made her things pack themselves then made her bag come to her. She could do the small stuff just fine without words it was just bigger spells she would always have trouble with until they where officially taught wordless magic. Getting up off of him Sapphire fixed some of her curls behind her hears, retraved her large glasses from Tayler's pocket then started to walk towards the castle. It felt good defending herself even if it was after the fact. Now Sapphire was looking forward to being kissed properly.

 

[Tyler Hawkens]

He wore that cocky grin a little too long. For some weird reason unknown to the boy he was hit with a spell, not a very strong spell but it made him fall and stumble right down to his knee. He could feel half of his body become quickly stiff, the one that was still mobile struggling to fish for his wand in his other pocket. Oh geeze, oh geeze she going to murder me?! He tried kicking weird girl away from him, his effort did not good when the girl squat down right on him. He wished, his perverted mind wished she was doing this because she liked him and she was just doing this to get cheap feels. Pinned by her small figure and his body making it hard to move, he felt the marker taint his crown. Unbelievable just like before, what a waste of time?!

He stayed still and waited for her to be as far as way possible. When he could sense she was away from him, Tyler continued to struggle. He tossed around the floor for several minutes, his wand eventually spiked from his pocket. He grabs it with his only moving hand and ended the spell. “Finite!” The spell released him, he took a gulp of air and sighed when his breathing regain its normal pattern. His lungs relaxed so did the rest of his body. He sat up to see she was almost out of eye sight, “YOU KNOW YOU LIKE IT WEIRD GIRL. DON’T DENY THE LUST” despite being owned by creepy girl as Sapphire, he laughs at his misfortune. He stayed there for a while, took him twenty minutes to get up and head for Ravenclaw’s tower.
