        I stood near the tapestry for almost ten minutes since the encounter I've had with Remus and Opal. I stood staring into space simply because there was no more to do, and simply because I was in so much thought. I, of course, knew all the pathways and curves throughout the grand school, but I could not place this tapestry's familiarity. That is, until this moment. I sighed in frustration as hot tears threatened to spill over. It seems they control me more than ever, because memories cause them to. I look over to the tapestry once more, and images stand before me. They were of Sirius and that - that Angel Vare, who made my school years a mess. Sirius held a plate of food that has quickly been dropped on the floor as Angel's hands traveled to his shaggy hair. Shaggy like a dog, I'd say sometimes, laughing quietly to myself. It was beginning to be a heated kiss, since Sirius took the gesture of kissing her back, considering she was not going to let go of the poor boy. I remembered feeling like Sirius never cared about anyone, though I was definitely wrong.The images I look at before me are not real, obviously, but my mind's perception showed them to be so. I exhaled deeply once again, telling my brain to take a psychological restart. Turning away from the tapestry, I walked straight until I found the staircase. I went wherever the moving staircase brought me, and that seemed to be the Hospital Wing. 

"Oh Sapphire, hello!" Opal walked out of the Hospital Wing. She was smiling from ear to ear, her hair tousled in many directions, and wore a long, dress shirt, which was clearly Remus's, over her tan, bare legs. 

"Oh, holy...Opal!!" I rolled my eyes, laughing playfully at her reddened cheeks. 

Remus walked towards the doorway, putting his arm around Opal. He had pants on, but his chest was bare, and let me tell you, he was still fit, due to the full moons. 

I groaned audibly, and covered my eyes. 

"I understand you are having some fun for once, but would it kill you to put on a shirt?" 

"I cannot be bothered to put on those tights again." Opal scoffed. 

"Well, you have to, because we're going back to that dance!" I said. 

"Do you always have to make me do things, Sapphire?" She groaned loudly, mocking mine. 

"I thought we could sing, like the old times." I realized how stupid I must sound, to ask for something when she might not have even came to see me, but more Remus. I smiled either way, but she did as well, to my happiness. 

"Give me a moment. Of course!!" She ran into the Hospital Wing, which I noticed was empty and spotless, and Remus ran in as well. 

I waited outside for a minute, two, three, four... 

"Sorry it took so long, I told you these tights take time and care." Opal laughed softly and put on her shoes, lacing her hand through Remus's. I smiled at how nice they looked together and how happy. It's too bad it wouldn't last that long. We kept walking, getting closer to the Great Hall.

My vision got blurry for a moment and my head gone dizzy. 

"What's with Sapphire?" Opal asked, and tried to help me stand straight, which brought me to an even worse state. 

        "Dead!" A woman said with blonde hair and a black cloak, with a body lying near her

     ~~~~~

    "Those dementors are meant to make people in Azkaban insane, and suck out their souls." A figure said, but I could not see the face. 

"It makes people dead inside, yeah. I guess it was just knowing that I was innocent that kept me somewhat sane." Another figure spoke, getting closer to the first. 

"That's...amazing." 

"I'd hope so. Twelve years is quite a long time." 

     ~~~~~

I gasped, holding on to Opal's arm.

"Ow!" She hissed. 

"I-I'm sorry." I said quietly, not realizing my nails digged in to her skin to hurt her. 

"It's alright. What happened to you? You almost fell! And your eyes were glossy." She looked at me as if I'd grown a few more heads. 

"Sapphire, I remember this happened to you before, don't lie." Remus spoke sternly towards me, with a look that told me he meant business.

"It was just a vision, nothing to worry about, nothing important." I muttered. 

They seemed to let it go, but Remus didn't seem convinced that it was not important. To be honest, I'm not sure of it's importance, but I know that it must have meant something, or else it would not appear in my mind, right? 

To sort it out would be irrational, and pushing it towards the back of my mind for tonight seems like a better choice than most. 

"So, that song?" Opal asked me with a raised eyebrow, when we got to the Great Hall. I breathed in that caramel cozy smell, and smiled. 

"Let's go to the stage." I beamed. 

We did so, and discussed the song, before Albus introduced us to the crowd. 

And to remind us of our old, fun times, we sang 'Take a Hint.' 

"Get your hands off my hips 

'fore I'll punch you in the lips

Stop you're staring at my hey!

Take a hint!

Take a hint!

La la la la ah" 

We finished off to clapping surrounding the Hall, and smiled at each other. My tears were beginning to control me once again, but I suppressed them as best as I could.

Gosh, these people and memories will be the death of me.
