The group was hero-worshipped back at Hogwarts as soon as word got out. When Hermione filled everyone in on what happened to Ebony and how they destroyed her, everyone was clapping them on the back and shaking their hands. Luna, Ginny, and Hermione were asked out by several boys, to a tall and handsome Ravenclaw seventh year to an adorable and shy Hufflepuff first year. Harry, Ron, and Draco were immediately declared the coolest guys in Hogwarts.

For about two weeks, everything was perfect.

Then, a horrible thing happened.

One day at breakfast, a new girl showed up at Hogwarts. She had long blonde hair that reached her waist, and startling purple eyes with long, dark eyelashes. Her slender frame was complimented by her blouse, tied up at the ribcage. Her skirt was about two inches shorter than the other girls' skirts. She carried a small pink purse and a phoenix rested on her shoulder.

"Oh… my… God," Ginny breathed.

"Hermione," said Harry, slowly, "didn't that book say something about what happens when a Sue dies?"

Hermione frowned and racked her brain. Her brown eyes widened with horror.

"'Every time a Mary Sue dies, a new one is born in its place,'" she quoted.

"Hi!" said the new girl, walking up to them. "I'm Sapphire Eleanor Rose Suzette de Mont!"

Hermione buried her head under her arms.

"Kill me now."

The End (For now!)

A/N: The sequel, Sapphire Eleanor Rose Suzette de Mont vs. Canon, will be up soon! Be on the lookout!
