Forgive and forget.
If only it was that easy. She had nothing to forgive, in fact she was the one that needed to be forgiven. She'd let Sapphire down, she had allowed the girl to die. Something told her that her friend's death wasn't just because of the Green Itch, she was perfectly fine, coping with the sickness and then just like that, she had ended up dying. It couldn't have been just the sickness. Something else happened that no one was telling her. But how was she supposed to know? It had been hard enough to find ouy her best friend had died, now she had to deal with the guilty conscious, telling her that she had allowed the Hufflepuff to die.
She'd finally had enough of others blaming her for the girl's the death, when she hadn't even known about it until the morning when she was supposed to go back to Hogwarts. Alexis had been so cold in how she told her, it made Damitrius doubt what she had said. But it was true, Suzanna, Sapphire's sister, had confirmed it. It wasn't fair. Sapphire shouldn't have died the way she did, there was so much more she had to offer. It wasn't fair.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Damitrius ran out of the common room as one of her housemates teased her about the death of Sapphire for the millionth time. Gryffindors are supposed to be brave and just. Not jerks. she thought as she ran through the corridors, running up the castle until her legs finally gave out on the seventh floor of the school. Damitrius found herself in front of the Room of Requirement. She placed her hand on the door, thinking about the PA meeting before she left. They can't help me. They're all idiots. she thought harshly. She placed her other hand on the door and pushed it open, before walking in and collapsing to the floor and starting to shake.
"It wasn't my fault. I'm sorry Sapphire."
She whispered as tears streamed down her face and she hugged herself tightly, trying to calm herself down, her back against the wall.
