People often compare her to sapphires, along with the rest of her glittering family. It should be rubies, she thinks, and wonders where on earth the blue came from. 30 drabbles centered around Molly Weasley II, challenge response.

A/N: This is my response to the 30 Drabbles in 30 Days Challenge over at the HPFC forum. All drabbles revolve around or in someway include Molly Weasley II just 'cause she's an awesome character. The prompt(s) will be in the chapter name for each drabble. As always, all comments and criticism deeply appreciated!

1. Sapphires:

People often compare her to sapphires, along with the rest of her glittering family. It should be rubies, she thinks, and wonders where on earth the blue came from. In any case, if they were sapphires, she'd be the dullest one, or else the one that's been polished so many times it's lost its shine (because she knows that even though her name means star of the sea she's no gemstone) or maybe, not a jewel at all.

What people don't realise is that a different type of sapphire exists. It's the redpinkorange colour of flames and lotus blossoms and it's called padparadscha.
