Author's Note; Okay, I lied about the five reviews thing. I got two, which I'm grateful for. And so many people viewed my story! Seven people from the U.S., one person from Hong Kong, one person from India, and one person from the Philippines. So, thank you!

SHOUTOUTS:

Guest: They do have pretty bad morals, I agree with you for that. And YAY! FIRST REVIEWER! And for your second review, I fixed that. And all of my other typos. Oops.

Also I changed it, even the summary. Now, Roxanne and Fred are in the same year as Monkey, Louis, and James while Dominique is in Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, Sean, Scorpius, Albus, and Rose's year. Sorry if I confused/disappointed anybody, but I thought it would work out better.

Disclaimer; I, Goddess of Awesomeness, do not own Harry Potter. Or his children, nieces, nephews, or any other characters shown in Harry Potter.

Chapter II

The night—or morning really—before I went to Hogwarts, I was having a beautiful dream. I can't remember what it is anymore—and that doesn'tusually happen—but I just know that it was wonderful. Until I heard a thud and opened my eyes to find that I was on the floor.

I sat up, rubbing my head. Why am I on the floor? I wondered. I don't really move around in my sleep, so I had no idea what happened. That is until I saw Sapphire sitting on my bed with a huge grin to rival the Chesire Cat's on her face.

"GETUPGETUPGETUP!" She yelled. "WEHAVETOGETTOKING'SCROSSSTATIONBYELEVENORWE'LLMISSTHETRAIN!"

Pearl groaned, sitting up. "Calm down." She yawned and picked up her glasses. "I haven't seen you this excited since Christmas."

That was when it sunk in. I was going to Hogwarts. I was going to become a witch! I was going to spend a year in a castle! Without Jessica, Lightning, or Aqua! A grin appeared on my face too. I opened my mouth and…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'M GOING TO HOGWARTS!" We all looked around, startled, to find Ruby—the calmest of us all—jumping up and down squealing.

"Can you keep it down?" Jessica asked from downstairs.

"NOPE!" Ruby yelled.

Dad poked his head in the door. "Alright, everybody to their own rooms, in their own houses."

"Five more minutes…" Sean mumbled.

"You too." My Dad answered.

He, Jade, Pearl, and Monkey peeled themselves off of the floor, grumbling. Sapphire and Ruby ran toward the door and we could hear them squealing as they raced to their rooms. Dad closed the door, smiling and shaking his head.

I danced around, still grinning and picked out what to wear. I put on a sea green t-shirt, black jeans, and of course my sneakers. I would only be outside for a second anyway. I brushed my hair and teeth, put my hair in a ponytail, and then headed to the dining room for breakfast.

Aqua and Jessica were already there, grumbling about how they shouldn't have to get up early. Aqua was wearing her pink glasses—duh—a pink t-shirt, pink jeans, pink sneakers, and her short pink hair out. Jessica was wearing a dark purple t-shirt, lilac jeans, dark purple sneakers, and her currently strawberry blonde hair in a half-ponytail.

Sapphire and Ruby raced in and sat down next to me, giggling. Sapphire was wearing a red t-shirt, orange jeans, yellow sneakers, and her cherry-red hair in a braid. Ruby was wearing a her blue glasses—again, duh—a grey t-shirt, blue jeans, yellow sneakers, and her blonde hair in two braids.

Pearl came down next, yawning. She was wearing her black glasses, a light grey t-shirt, black jeans, light grey sneakers, and her currently brunette hair was just sloppily pulled back with a black headband.

Jade trudged into the room, tugging on her hair. She was wearing a tie-dyed t-shirt, purple jeans, paint splattered sneakers, and her multi-colored hair in a side ponytail.

Smoky Topaz—or Smoky—apparated into his seat, smiling. Today was his first year not going to Hogwarts. He was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers. The next to apparate in was Dad. He sat down at one of the heads of the table.

We heard Monkey and Sean come through the back door. "Good morning, Mom!" She greeted our Mom, who was making us breakfast.

"Good morning, Monkey. Good morning, Sean. And before you ask, yes Monkey, breakfast is still a surprise and no I will not uncover it until you two leave the kitchen."

"Okay, byyyyyyyeeeeeeeee…" She sang. (A/N; I don't know what's with all of my Frozen references. Deal with it.)

Monkey trudged into the room, dragging Sean by his ear and pulling him to his seat. She was wearing a brown t-shirt, light-grey jeans, no shoes—as usual—and her dark brunette hair in low pigtails—also as usual. Sean was wearing a yellow t-shirt, grey jeans, and blue sneakers.

"Good morning guys!" Monkey chirped.

"Good morning kids." Dad said.

"It is a good morning, isn't it?" Smoky asked.

I heard the back door open and close, so I assumed Lightning was here. My guess was confirmed when I heard Mom say, "Good morning, Lightning."

"Good morning, Mrs. Sapphire." He answered.

"How many times have I told you to call me Garnet, or Mom 2, or something? Now go sit down, breakfast is almost ready." She told him.

Lightning walked into the room, his black hair messy. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. "Good morning Lightning!" Monkey exclaimed.

"Mornin'." He answered sitting down in his seat.

Our seats were like this; Jade, Pearl, Lightning, Jessica, Aqua, and on the other side starting across from Aqua was Sapphire, me, Ruby, Sean, and Smoky. Mom sat at the head next to Aqua and Sapphire, while Dad sat next to Jade and Smoky. Monkey preferred to sit on the floor in between Lightning and Jessica no matter how many times my parents told her they could just pull up another seat.

Jessica and Aqua were talking about some Disney Channel show—I haven't really watched Disney Channel since last year, I'm more of a House of Anubis and Doctor Who kind of girl, if you know what I mean. Monkey was animatedly telling Lightning about this duck she was talking to earlier. Pearl and Jade were talking about their favorite and least favorite classes at Hogwarts. Dad was playing Candy Crush (A/N; I think you all know I don't own Candy Crush, Disney Channel, House of Anubis, or Doctor Who) on his iPad. Sean was asking Smoky all these questions about Hogwarts to which Smoky tried to answer. Ruby and Sapphire were leaning back and talking to eachother behind my back. And I was listening to music on my iPod with headphones.

"Smoky Topaz and Smoky Topaz!" Mom yelled. "Come help me with breakfast!"

Dad and Smoky got up and went into the kitchen with her. They all returned a couple seconds later carrying my, Ruby's, Sapphire's, Jade's, Sean's, Pearl's, and Monkey's favorite breakfasts. They slowly put it all down and quickly dove for the seats as we dove for the food. I got bacon, a chocolate chocolate chip muffin, and chocolate chip pancakes. Pearl got mini plain pancakes, bacon, and waffles. Jade got scrambled eggs, bacon, and blueberry pancakes. Sean got French toast, bacon, and a banana nut muffin. Monkey got bacon, a donut, and two plain bagels. Ruby got hard boiled eggs, bacon, a blueberry muffin, and cereal. Sapphire got bacon, an omelet, bacon, an everything bagel, bacon, and did I mention BACON!

Everybody else got a combination of those. Well, except for the bacon. Sapphire ate it all. When we were finished it was 10:34. We all went to get our trunks and/or pets.

Pearl had a pet purple pygmy puff named Jamie (In case you were wondering, it's a boy), Jade had a pet pink pygmy puff named Skylar, and Monkey had a friend (She refused to call it a pet) rat named Sean. Even Sean found it funny so it was all good. Besides, Monkey claimed Sean the rat told her his name was Sean. Plus, there was a family owl named Minerva. (Jade, Mom, and Smoky found the name very funny while Monkey, Dad, and Pearl did not for some reason.)

When we got downstairs, Mom and Dad were grinning from ear to ear. "What is it?" Sean asked suspiciously.

"Now Sean your Mom bought yours but wanted us to give it to you." Dad said, confusing me.

Mom handed us each a pet! Sapphire got a pink baby pygmy puff, Ruby got a small green toad, Sean got a baby brown rat, and I got a black kitten!

We all hugged Mom and Dad. "I'm naming this cute little thing Olivia!" Sapphire squealed, hugging the newly named Olivia.

"I'll name her…Claudia!" Ruby exclaimed.

At the same time, Sean said, "I'll name him…Michael!"

I looked at my kitten and thought hard. "I'll name you Bella!" I exclaimed, hugging her.

"Okay!" Dad exclaimed. "Everybody grab your stuff and hold on to me, Smoky, or your Mom!"

"But Lightning, Monkey, and I's Mom's aren't here!" Sean exclaimed.

"You know what he meant!" Jessica snapped.

Ruby, Jade, Pearl, and I grabbed onto Smoky's arms, Jessica, Sean, and Lightning grabbed onto Dad's arms, and Aqua, Sapphire, and Monkey grabbed onto Mom's arms. There was the feeling of your whole body squeezing into tiny molecules, a pop, and then we were in King's Cross Station.

"Nobody splinched?" Mom asked.

Then we all headed inside, Monkey, me, Pearl, Sapphire, Sean, and Ruby grabbing trolleys.

"Mommy, can't I go to Hogwarts, too?" Aqua asked.

"No, it's for 11 to 17 year olds. Not 9 year olds. In two years you can go." Mom answered.

Jessica leaned over and whispered in Aqua's ear, "But Lightning and I get to go before you!"

"But Mommy!" Aqua complained. "Can't I go with Lightning and Jessica?"

Mom shot Jessica a glare and said, "No, Aqua. Lightning and Jessica get to go next year because they're older than you. But you can go the year after that!"

Aqua sighed. "But I wanna go nooooowwwww!"

Mom leaned over and hissed in her ear, "Aquamarine Pancakes Sapphire, stop making a scene right now or you're grounded!"

Aqua wisely shut her mouth, but folded her arms and pouted. I heard another family having the same problem with a little girl. I looked over to them and saw that the little girl had bright red hair, as did who I assumed was her mother. There was a man with messy black hair and glasses. And there were two boys, one with messy black hair like his father, and the other with messy dark brown hair.

We reached the pillar between the 9 and 10 platforms. "I'll go first!" Monkey exclaimed happily. She ran full pelt into the pillar, grinning from ear to ear.

Pearl was next, slowly walking into the pillar. Jade went after Pearl, skipping. Then Sean walked up to the pillar, took a deep breath, and…I pushed him. "Diamond Rose Sapphire!" My father scolded.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"He is your friend. You do not push your friends." Mom sighed.

"He is not my friend!" I grumbled, running.

When I got to platform 9 ¾, I gasped. Every time it took my breath away. We don't use magic that much at home, so seeing all of those witches and wizards and everything is just…wow.

And the best part is that now I'll be a part of it! When everybody else has gone through the platform, we start to say our goodbyes.

Aqua's eyes fill up with tears. She's really close to Sapphire, Sean, Ruby, and I. Especially Sapphire and I. She hugged Ruby, then Sean, and then Sapphire. She then tightly threw her arms around me. "I'm gonna miss you all so much!"

"You'll see us at Christmas." Ruby reassured her.

"But that's 2 months away!" Aqua sobbed. I mentally face palmed. I for one think she should stay in 4th grade for now.

"Actually, Christmas is 3 ½ months away." Pearl corrected. Aqua cried even harder.

"Aqua, I'm sending Lightning a Hogwarts toilet seat. Do you want me to send you something too?" Sapphire asked.

Aqua nodded. "Send me a stick from the branch of the Whomping Willow Monkey told me about!" She exclaimed.

Sapphire glared at Monkey. "Okay," she said through gritted teeth. "I will."

"Send me locks of hair from all of your roommates! Including people I know. But make sure that they're willingly given. I don't want anybody to get their hair cut off in their sleep!" Jessica told her.

"Um, why?" Sean asked.

"Because," Jessica said like it was obvious. "I want to know what the most popular hair color is!"

The train whistle blew. We all hugged eachother one last time, and those of us going to Hogwarts climbed onto the train. We stuck our heads out of windows and waved.

"DON'T FORGET THE TOILET SEAT!" Lightning yelled. Aqua and Jessica both said something to him and he visibly sighed. "OR THE STICK FROM THE WHOMPING WILLOW'S BRANCH OR THE LOCKS OF YOUR ROOMMATES' HAIR!"

"I WON'T!" Sapphire yelled back. Then the station was out of sight.

"Okay," Pearl started. "Jade and I have to go to the Ravenclaw car, and Monkey has to go to the Slytherin car. You guys go to the first-year car."

"Introduce yourself! Make some friends!" Monkey said as she started walking away.

"Yeah," Jade called over her shoulder. "Mingle!"

We started looking for empty compartments with no luck. Until one. But it already had three people in it. A red-headed girl, a dark-blonde haired girl, and the boy with the dark brown hair from the family from earlier. I knocked on the door and opened it. "Hi," I said.

"Hi," the blonde answered.

"Um, there's nowhere else to sit so can we sit here?" Sean asked.

"Sure, why not?" The boy answered.

"Thank you." Ruby said, and we piled in.

They sat on one side, while the four of us squashed into the other.

Sapphire was the first to break the silence. "Well our sisters and friend told us to mingle, make friends, and introduce ourselves. So, here goes. Hi! I'm Sapphire Olea Sapphire or Fire. What's your name?"

"I'm Dominique Gabrielle Weasley. Nice to meet you." The blonde said.

"I'm Sean. No middle name, no last name. My Mom won't tell me and I don't even think she knows her own last name." Sean said.

"I'm Ruby Amelia Sapphire, nice to meet you too." Ruby said at the same time. Sean and Ruby glanced at eachother.

"Okay, you have got to stop saying stuff at the same time as me!" They said. "Stop! I said stop it! Ugh, nevermind." They just glared at eachother.

"I'm Albus Severus Potter, nice to meet you also." The boy said.

"I'm Diamond Rose Sapphire, nice to meet all of you." And I meant it. They all seemed nice.

The red-head smiled. "Rose. That's my name. Rose Jean Weasley. Although you probably know all about us Weasleys and Potters." I did. Everybody knows about Harry Potter, the boy who lived. I'm just surprised I didn't recognize Albus's parents on sight.

Just then somebody else knocked on the door.

It was a pale blonde boy, and Rose, Dominique, and Albus looked as if they knew him. "Can I sit here?" He asked.

"Sure!" Albus said. Rose and Dominique glared at Albus as the boy sat down next to Dominique.

"Thank you. I'm Scorpius Malfoy." He said.

"We know." Rose said quickly, but Albus glared at her. She sighed reluctantly and said, "I'm Rose."

"I'm Albus." Albus said.

"I'm Dominique." Dominique said.

"I'm Sapphire Olea Sapphire." Sapphire Olea Sapphire said.

"I'm Ruby Amelia Sapphire." Ruby Amelia Sapphire said.

"I'm Sean." Sean said.

"I'm Diamond Rose Sapphire." I, Diamond Rose Sapphire said.

"Soooooooooo..." Scorpius said, trying to break the silence. "Do you guys have any siblings?"

"Well, I'm an only child." Sean said. "According to my Mom, I had a twin sister, but she put her up for adoption. But I have nine annoying people who are like my siblings."

"*Cough**Cough*Look who's talking*Cough**Cough*" Sapphire, Ruby, and I coughed.

"So you know these nine people?" Dominique asked us.

"Yeah, you could say that." Ruby said, grinning.

"I know one of them really well." Sapphire told them.

"So do I, and it's like she's me!" I exclaimed.

The three of us exchanged a look and started laughing hysterically. Rose, Sapphire, Albus, and Scorpius leaned back and stared at us, confused. When we calmed down, Ruby started to explain.

"The three of us are some of the nine people. Along with our two older sisters—Pearl and Jade—our two younger sisters—Jessica and Aqua—and our friends—Monkey Boots and Lightning Grey. I'm the middle child of the Sapphires." She said.

"Oh," The four of them said in unison, relaxing.

"So Sean's an only child like me, and each of you is one of seven?" Scorpius asked.

"Yup!" Ruby exclaimed. "We're triplets!"

Rose studied us. "You don't look like triplets. The only thing that shows that you're even related is your freckles and each of your eyes are a shade of blue. What do your parents look like?" She asked.

"Well, their Mom looks exactly like Diamond, and their Dad has dirty blonde hair and green eyes." Sean explained.

"Hmmm…" Rose said, she looked like she came up with an idea, but didn't say anything.

"Well, I have a younger sister named Lily, and an older brother named James." Albus said.

"I have an older sister in 7th year—her name is Victoire. She's Head Girl. And I have an older brother that's in 2nd year named Louis. He's best friend with James and our other cousin Fred." Dominique said.

"I have a younger brother named Hugo, he's 9 like Lily. But we see our cousins all the time so it's never too quiet." Rose said.

"Who're your other cousins and how old are they?" Sean asked.

"Um, there's Fred and Roxanne, they're in 2nd year, there's Lily, James, and Albus, Dominique, Louis, and Victoire, and Molly and Lucy, and they're in 4th and 6th year. We also see Teddy Lupin all the time, he just graduated Hogwarts. There's Hannah and Professor Longbottom—Professor Longbottom are my parents' friends—'s kids, Alice and Augusta. They're in 3rd and 5th year. Lastly there's Luna—also my parents' friends—and Rolf Scamander's twin sons, Lorcan and Lysander, they're in 5th year. The ones that went to or are at Hogwarts are all in Gryffindor." Rose explained, taking a deep breath when she was finished.

"Cool! Pearl and Jade are twins—they're 3rd year Ravenclaws. Monkey's a 2nd year Slytherin. Aqua is also 9, while Jessica and Lightning are 10. They come next year." I said.

Here we were, talking like old friends, when we had just met that day. Suddenly, we heard trolley wheels and the compartment door opened. "Do any of you want anything from the trolley?" The lady asked.

Dominique, Rose, Scorpius, and Albus started to rummage around in their pockets. Ruby, me, and Sean looked at Sapphire expectantly.

She noticed us staring and looked at us blankly. "What?" She asked, confused.

"Mom gave you the money for snacks last night." Ruby and Sean said simultaneously then glared at eachother—again.

"Do you have it?" I asked.

She sighed, smiling sheepishly. "Um, well, funny story…"We all groaned. "I knew I forgot something!"

I sighed as my stomach rumbled. It's always been like a black hole. I'm so hungry all the time no matter how much I eat, and I still don't gain any weight.

"They seem to have plenty of money. We could ask them to buy us some food." Sean whispered.

Ruby glared at him. "No way! That's rude!"

"What if I pickpocket one of them?" Sapphire suggested. "Then we would have at least earned the money!" Sean nodded, smiling.

"No! We will only eat snacks that came from their money, if they offer it! And only what they offer! Oh, and no sighing and looking at the food to guilt them into it! Understand?" I said.

"Understand." They grumbled. Ruby and I smiled.

"I feel like we handled that awesomely." Ruby told me.

"Duh! That's because we're awesome!" I answered.

Everyone else bought their stuff and the lady asked, "Do you four want anything?"

We shook our heads. "You should," Scorpius said. "It's all really good!"

"It's fine, really." I told them.

"Alright-y then." The lady said, closing the compartment door and walking away.

"Why did you guys say no?" Dominique asked.

"We had a big breakfast." I said.

"No, we said no because someone *Cough**Cough*Sapphire, was put in charge of the money and left it at home." Sean said, glaring at Sapphire.

"It was an accident! Besides, you should know by now not to leave me in charge of something like that! I had more important things on my mind!" Sapphire complained.

"You can have some of ours," Albus offered.

"Really, it's fine. We actually did have a big breakfast." Ruby told them.

"Seriously, do you think we can eat all of this food?" Rose asked.

"Well," I said against my better judgment, "If you insist…"

"We insist!" They all exclaimed.

And all eight of us dug in. We spent the rest of the train ride talking and laughing until a beautiful older girl with long, straight, white-blonde hair came to the door.

Sean and Scorpius had gaping mouths and were staring at her beauty. Albus seemed completely unaffected. "First of all, I'm taken. Second of all, I'm 17 and you're 11. And third of all, get your robes on. We're almost there."

So we put our robes on over our clothes. "So, what house do you think you'll get?" Scorpius asked. "On the count of three, everyone just say it. One, two, three!"

"Slytherin." Albus.

"Ravenclaw." Ruby.

"Ravenclaw." Rose.

"Ravenclaw." Scorpius.

"Hufflepuff." Dominique.

"Slytherin." Sapphire.

"Hufflepuff." Me.

"Gryffindor." Sean.

We all looked at eachother nervously, except for Sean. He was so certain that he would get Gryffindor.

Why? What if he didn't? Wouldn't he feel silly for saying it? What if I did get Hufflepuff? I wanted Gryffindor, I really did. But I didn't think I was gonna get it.

"Now what house do you want to get in?" Scorpius asked.

"Gryffindor." Albus.

"Gryffindor." Me.

"Gryffindor." Dominique.

"Gryffindor." Rose.

"Gryffindor." Ruby

"Gryffindor." Sapphire.

"Gryffindor." Scorpius.

"Gryffindor." Sean.

Nobody questioned anything anyone had said. How could we? It was the first time that all eight of us had been bound together in one common thought: Gryffindor. I know it seems crazy. Like the beginning of a joke. 'So there are two Weasleys, three Sapphires, a Malfoy, a Potter, and a Sean inside a train compartment, all thinking the same thing.' Just eight 11-year-olds, all wanting to go to Gryffindor.

But one question remains: Will we all get our wish?

And...that's a wrap! Find out next time on The Sapphire's: Year One! This was eleven pages long and took me three days to write so I hope you all like it! I'll try to get chapter III up as soon as possible, but first I have to watch Thor: The Dark World because I love him, and I just typed through the first one. And to honor my hard work, please type in that little box what you liked/didn't like/loved/hated about my story. Translation: Review!
