Sapphira's POV.

I walked to the train station with my mother. Ever since my father and brother left us, we have been struggling. But today was my first day at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. 

" You better not get yourself expelled, you hear me." She said. I nodded and ran through the wall between platforms 9 and 10. When I got to the other side of the wall I saw a huge train, I sighed and gave my luggage to a person then got aboard. All the compartments were full except for one, there were only three people in this one. Two older red-haired boys and a younger blonde-haired boy.

" Um, hi I was wondering if I could sit here," I asked. All three of them looked up at me. 

" Sure why not," One of the red-heads said. I nodded then walked in, shutting the door behind me. I sat down next to the blonde.

" Hello I'm Fred Weasley and this is," Fred said.

" George Weasley. We are twins." George said. I nodded.

" Well, I'm Sapphira Green you might know my father Everett Green and my brother Vincent Green,"  I told them. The boy I had been sitting next to finally spoke.

" My father Lucius Malfoy was best friends with your father. I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. " Draco said. I nodded, he then stuck his hand out. As soon as I shook it I felt a shiver go up to my back. 

" Draco was your father a Death Eater or had anything to do with Voldemort," I asked. He looked at me in shock.

" Yes, my father did. How could you tell?" Draco asked. I hesitated before telling them the truth. 

" I can tell beacuse I am an Animorph and cause I was born with the Dark Mark. And whenever someone who either has it or is related to someone who does I feel it. " I told them. Fred and George stood up and walked over.

" Wicked, can you show us an animal form," Fred asked. I smiled and stood up in the middle of the room. 

" Lion" I whispered under my breath. As soon as the words left my mouth I knew the transformation had started. My back grew longer and grew fur, my hands and feet turned to large paws with five-inch long claws, my nose and mouth turned into a muzzle with razor-sharp teeth, and I felt a tail growing. When this was all done I looked up at them. They all looked at me with their jaws gaped. 

" No way, that is totally rad. Can you roar very loud." George said. 

" Yes, I can," I told them. Then I turned and face the window. Before raising my head and letting out a roar that rattled the train.

" Cool," Fred said. I then leaped up onto a bar overhead. 

" It must be fun. You know being an Animorph like that." Draco said. I lowered my head to look at him.

" It can be fun but it can also suck. Not a lot of people trust me beacuse of what my father did. " I told Draco. He tipped his head to one side like a dog who is confused.

" What did your father do. I was never told." Draco asked. I shut my eyes tightly before leaping back down to the floor.

" You know how people are saying Harry Potter's parents were killed by The Dark Lord. Well, that is wrong. It was my father who did it. Since that night anyone related to Everet can't be trusted or at least that is what they say." I told them. Both Weasley boys shook their heads.

" Just beacuse of something your father did doesn't mean that you can't be trusted. Oh, look we have arrived." Fred said. I turned back into a human and looked out the window. In the near distance was a huge castle. 

" Wow, is that Hogwarts," I asked him. Fred nodded and I was amazed. All four of us got off the train, a tall man came over.

" First years, over here." He yelled. I and Draco said goodbye to the Weasley twins before joining the large group of first years. When all of us had joined the group the man started leading us to the great doors of Hogwarts.

" Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Rubeus Hagrid gamekeeper. Professor McGonagall will take you to the great hall." Hagrid said. As if he could see the future a tall older-looking woman in a green robe and a black pointed hat.

" Follow me, please. " She told us. We then followed her into Hogwarts. She had us stop in front of two very large doors.

" After this, you will be separated into your houses. They are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. Your house will be like family, do something good and you will earn points, break the rules and you will lose them. Okay, they are ready." She said. The doors then opened on their own and we walked in. 

" The ceiling it's just bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in Hogwarts: A history" Said a girl behind me. We all walked to the front of the room. I spotted Fred and George and waved. They both waved back. 

" Can you wait along here please?" McGonagall said. We formed a group at the front of the hall. She grabbed an old tattered hat and placed it on a stool. She then grabbed a large piece of parchment.

" When I call your name you will come forth. I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head and will be sorted into your houses. " She said. We all squirmed with excitement.

" Hermione Granger," McGonagall said. A brow-haired girl walked up and sat on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat on her head. The hat sat for a little then moved.

" Ah, right then hm right. Okay GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting Hat said. McGonagall took the hat off and Hermione sat down at the Gryffindor table.

" Draco Malfoy," McGonagall said. He smiled at me then strutted up to the stool. He sat down and had the Hat placed upon his head. As soon as it touched his head it yelled.

" SLYTHERIN" The Hat yelled. Draco smiled and placed the hat back on the stool before walking over to the Slytherin table.

" Sapphira Green," McGonagall said. I walked up to the stool and sat down. McGonagall placed the Sorting Hat on my head.

" I see courage, loyalty,  bravery, ambition, pride, and power. I also sense that you will be the one to go against your family and your family honor. But where to put you, oh I know. GRYFFINDOR" The hat yelled. McGonagall took the hat off and placed it on the stool. I walked over and sat next to Fred.

" Congrats, I knew ya had it in you," Fred said. I nodded and watched the rest of the Sorting. The students that were sorted into Gryffindor were Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and Parvati Patil. After the Sorting  Professor Dumbledore had our Perfect lead us to the Gryffindor house. 

" Okay, first-years stay together and follow me to the Gryffindor house." Percy the Gryffindor Perfect led us to a large picture with a lady in a pink dress. All of a sudden the picture moved.

" Password," The lady said. Percy nodded.

" Caput Draconis," Percy said. The picture nodded and a doorway appeared. Percy led us into the area.

" Welcome to the Gryffindor common area. Girls dormitories are up those stairs to the right boys the same just to the left."   Percy said. All of us girls walked to the girl's dormitory. When we got there Hermione Granger opened the door and a large black dog ran out.

" Midnight, you made it," I said. Midnight jumped on me and covered me with kisses. I covered her in pets and then brushed her off. I walked in and spotted my stuff near the edge of the area. I settled down and looked around. A black-haired girl walked up to me and sat down on the edge of my bed.

" Is that Night Hound yours? " She asked. I knew she was talking about Midnight.

" Yes, she is. Her name is Midnight, mine is Sapphira Green what is yours" I told her. She reached down and stroked Midnight.

" I am Parvati Patil. Anyway, we have to go to class." Parvati said. We got up and walked out of the house down to Professors Kettleburns class. I saw Draco and ran over with Midnight following.

" Hey, Draco congrats on getting put in Slytherin," I told him. He smiled.

" Thanks, you must be sad being put into Gryffindor," Draco said. I nodded and then Midnight leaped on Draco knocking him over. 

" Oof, Sapphira is this your hound," Draco said. I grabbed Midnight by her collar and dragged her off him.

" Yes she is, sorry about that, and yes it does suck," I told him. He got back up and I realized Midnight.

"So this is Crabbe and Goyle two of my other friends," Draco said. Right after that, an older man walked in front of the whole group.

" Welcome to Care and Keeping of Magical Creatures I am Professor Kettleburn. Today we will be learning about a special kind of dog. The Night Hound, who here knows what one is." Kettleburn said. I forgot to grab Midnight's collar and she ran at the professor luckily Kettleburn knew she was coming and grabbed her. He looked around.

" Who's hound is this." He asked. I raised my hand. He looked at me.

" Come up here," He told me. I walked up and Kettleburn stared at me. He then looked down at Midnight.

" You own a very rare creature. Anyways the first thing you need to know about the Night Hound is if not tamed they are very aggressive and deadly. Do any of you why they are dangerous." Kettleburn said. No one raised their hands so I told them.

" They are very strong beasts and have very strong teeth. When they are docile they have a tendency to prove their power and strength. " I told them. Kettleburn nodded.

" Very well. The Night Hound chooses it, owner, not the other way round. There have only been five people in the history of Hogwarts, they are  Helena Hufflepuff, Lucius Malfoy, Bill Weasley, Everet Green, and Sapphira Green. The only people who get chosen are those who will do something great in the future. I think this is enough, class dismissed." Kettleburn said. I went to my Defense Against The Dark Arts class, apparently, the third years were in here too cause I saw Fred and George.

" Hey, Sapphira sit by us," George said. I walked over and sat between them. The Dark Arts Professor walked to the front of the classroom. 

" Hello and welcome to Defense Against The Dark Arts, I am Professor Quirrell. As you all can tell all the First year, Second and Third Year Gryffindor and Ravenclaws are in here. The reason for that is beacuse I have a very important lesson. Today we will be learning about Animorphs." Quirell said. I looked up at Fred, he gave me a look that almost looked like fear.

" Why are we all of the sudden learning about Animorphs," Fred asked. Quirrell looked from him to me.

" Beacuse there is one amongst us. And you must know the threat and danger they are. Now the first thing to know about them is that they are very big supporters of You-Know-Who. " Quirrell said. He then pointed at me.

" You Sapphira come here," Quirrell said. I stood up and walked to the class. 

" Sapphira would you care to tell the class which Animorphs is the biggest ally. You should know." Quirell said with a smile. I looked down before looking at the class.

" The biggest allies are named Everet Green and Vincent Green. And yes they are related to me." I told them. The class gasped and Quirell laughed. I looked away from the whole class knowing what was coming.

" And do any of you know what her father Everet did 11 years ago," Quirell asked. A third-year with short brown hair raised his hand.

" Everyone thought that He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named was the one who killed Harry Potter's parents but it was Everet Green who killed them. And it was Vincent Green who gave him the scar" Oliver Wood said. Quirell nodded and clapped his hands.

" Well done Oliver," Quirell said. I turned back around and glared at Wood.

" Well I guess you all don't trust me either like everyone else," I said. Harry looked at me and yelled.

" It is beacuse of your father that my mom and dad are dead, your brother that I have this scar and you will probably be the one to kill me. So you can try." Harry said. I felt anger boiling up.

" No, I'm not like them. That is what you don't believe." I said. Fred stood up and walked to the front of the room.

" Just beacuse of something her father did does not mean she can't be trusted," Fred said. I walked up to him and shook my head.

" You don't have to do this," I said. Fred opened his mouth to say something but Quirell spoke up.

" But he wants to cause him and his fool of a brother are the only ones who trust you," Quirell said. When he said that I knew I had enough. 

" Lion" I murmured. I felt the transformation begun and end. The class let out a series of gasps and screams. I looked at them through my golden eyes, watching their every move. Fred, George, and Draco were the only ones who looked calm. Quirell smirked at me with hatred in his eyes. As I looked deeper into his eyes and saw a small flicker of fear.

" See as a lioness she can tear you up within seconds. Most don't stop they just do it." Quirell said. I growled and bared my teeth at him. He took a large step back and the class screamed.

" I could attack you, but I don't need to," I growled. Quirell laughed a very nervous laugh.

" But you want to. The same way your brother  felt when he scarred Potter. He wanted to kill him but he didn't due to He-Should-Not-Be-Named." Quirell said. I walked over to him bunched my haunches and l lept over Quirells head and ran out the door of the classroom. I heard Fred and Draco yelling my name from the classroom. I roared and ran straight out of the school into the castle grounds. I paced back and forth, growling. Then I leaped at a large tree close to me. I clawed into its bark, but something did not feel right. I heard a creak and next thing I know one of the tree branches hits me square in the chest. I was flung into the air. I yelled out.

" Dragon" I yelled. Some students who had a class out here looked up and pointed. I stretched my light gray wings and took off out of the tree's range. When I was safe I landed and turned back into a lion. I heard two familiar voice calling to me. I turned around and saw Fred and Draco running tworads me with Professor Dumbledore and Snape following them. 

" Sapphira come back. " Fred yelled. I hesitated before answering.

" Why should I Quirell and all the other students don't want me here" I growled. Fred picked up the pace and was soon at my side. Dumbledore walked up and sat down at my side. He looked at me with his wise eyes.

" Sapphira no one wants you gone. " Dumbledore said. I shook my head and started pacing before thrusting my head at him.

" Is that so, then how come Quirell made me reveal what really happened that night, he made everyone hate me. " I said. Dumbledore nodded his head in agreement.

" Yes I know, but there is a reason for that. But do you want to know" Dumbledore said. I stared at him and nodded. Snape walked up and look at Dumbledore in disbelief.

" Well Quirinus Quirrell mother was a Animorph just like you. But his father on the other hand was a wizard with no animal in him. When a Animorph and a witch or wizard have a child there is a chance they will be born without the ability to morph. That was what happened to Quirrell, he did have a sister who was an Animorph. He was as jealous as it could get. But when both his parents died he was left to live with his sister, he did but then Voldemort came along and threatened that if his sister did not  harm Quirrell he would kill her or she could join him and all she would have to do is scar him. The scar on his face shows what his sister choose. He was always mad that his sister did not spare her life so he would not be harmed. The reason he was messing with you is because his sister is your mother, Selena Green of course she was Selena Quirrell then but then she married your father." Dumbledore said. I blinked at him in shock.

" So you are saying that Quirrell is my uncle. And my mother betrayed him." I asked. Dumbledore nodded. I looked at Fred then back at Dumbledore. He had stood up and was beckoning me with his hand. I turned into a human and walked to him. Then we all, Fred,  Draco, Dumbledore and Snape into the Hogwarts school.
