Author's Note; Please don't be mad! I actually have a life, kind of. I was busy. I didn't just go like, let's not update and torture my (few) readers. And I'm sorry if I got anybody's hopes on the Nina Potter and the Cup of Ankh thing, but it got deleted and I have no ideas, so if you could help, that would be nice. Also, if you see that Goddess of Awesomeness has reviewed, it's my sister. I keep my FanFiction account open, so I can get right to work, and I told her she could review on there. Sorry if any of you read the reviews and were like whaaaaat?
SHOUTOUTS:
Aqua(I'm not gonna write out my name because it's not me): I wasn't going to say you were just saying that cause you're Aqua. Anyways, thank you for reviewing! And Sean got in Gryffindor because he had to. It's part of a plot line that I only have half-developed.
Houseofstories99: Thanks! Pearl and I worked them out, we're the ones who came up with the idea. Well, Jessica, Monkey, Lightning, and Sean picked their names. And thank you again! I just thought of their real life personalities, and made them fight with who they would likely fight with. Because some of them have never even heard of eachother.
Guest (Sean): Thank you for using your character's name! I know I already said this in person, but no thank you. I deleted my Instagram and would have no idea what to check anyways. I hope you review more! And tell Lightning and Jessica to review with their character's names as well!
Anyway, with the plot thing, feel free to review and PM with ideas! I would really appreciate it. I don't want it to be them just chilling all year, that wouldn't work for me. Also, every 30th reviewer will get a surprise. It'll be different each time, so start reviewing! Lastly, to iciclefangAJ, thank you so much for following and favoriting this story! Okay, you're all probably tired of reading this, so onto the story!

Chapter IV
I woke up to silence. That was strange. Usually, everyone was shouting. Not always with anger. We're just loud people. Then I remembered. I was not at home. I was at HOGWARTS!
Luckily, it was a Saturday. Thank Merlin. I saw everyone else asleep. I didn't want to go to breakfast alone, so I threw pillows at Ruby and Sapphire.
They woke up immediately and saw me standing in between their beds, fully dressed. Sapphire growled, but they both got up anyway. They knew that I would do the same for them.
When we got downstairs, Sean was walking out of the portrait hole. We caught up to him and Ruby and Sapphire each linked one of their arms with one of his. "Hey!" He exclaimed. "Get off me! You don't know if I was going to go to breakfast or not!"
"Then where were you going?" I asked. He stayed silent. "Exactly."
There were only about a dozen kids at each table. Including Pearl, Monkey, and Jade. We waved to them and the three of them jumped up to greet us. "I wrote home to Mom and your Dad and told them that you all got Gryffindor!" Monkey exclaimed happily.
"Cool." Ruby grinned.
"Uh, Monkey, the school does that anyway." Pearl told her.
Oh." Monkey frowned. She then got a strange look on her face. "What's the common room like?" She asked dreamily, staring off into the distance. "I bet it's comfy and bright and warm."
"Yeah, it is." Sapphire answered.
"I'm hungry." Sean complained.
"You and Diamond are always hungry." Jade said, rolling her eyes. "You two are like this kid in our year, everybody calls him Randy the Random. I'm pretty sure Randy isn't even his real name! And he's never heard of Doctor Who, Supernatural, or Sherlock! And Diamond, he's also never heard of House of Anubis."
Ruby gasped, I clutched the wall for support, Pearl nodded solemnly, Monkey absent-mindedly turned into a monkey and back, Sean shrugged, and Sapphire looked confused. "Never…heard…of…House…of…Anubis?" I asked.
"Nope." Pearl confirmed.
"Have you ever tried discussing it with him?" Ruby asked.
"Yup, but he won't listen!" Jade exclaimed.
"I need to show him House of Anubis. And the other shows, I guess." I growled.
Sure, I'm a Whovian, but I love House of Anubis way more. Sean stuck his head in Ruby, Jade, Pearl, and I's little circle we'd made.
"Sorry to interrupt the meeting of your cult, but I'm still hungry." We all scoffed at him and broke away, bidding goodbye to eachother first.
I had to admit, the food was absolutely delicious! They had muffins, eggs, pancakes, bacon, oatmeal, cereal, waffles, French toast, and sooooooo much more! Ruby and Sean sat across from me and Sapphire. That seventh-year girl we met on the train came and sat down next to Sapphire.
To Sean and I—who had just been gawping at the food—she said, "Eat up while you can! It's only like this on Sundays. Every other day there's a theme to what kind of food we have. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself yesterday! I'm Victoire Weasley. I'm Head Girl,"
We definitely didn't have to be told twice. Sapphire really pigged out on the bacon—good thing it kept reappearing. Three boys and a girl came over and sat with us too. "I'm James Potter, but of course, you probably know that already." One of the boys said. He had untidy black hair and brown eyes.
"I'm Fred Weasley, and this is my twin sister Roxanne." Another boy with dark skin and red hair said, pointing to a girl with dark skin and red frizzy hair. They both had brown eyes, like James.
The last boy spoke up. "And I'm Louis Weasley." He had blonde hair and blue eyes, like his sisters.
"We're—" Ruby started to say, but was cut off by James.
"We know your names. You were sorted yesterday, remember?" He then smirked at Sapphire. "And who has the name is Sapphire Sapphire?"
"That is so stupid!" Louis chimed in. "Were your parents so nervous they accidentally printed your name twice?"
The boys laughed—even Sean the little traitor. Sapphire's face grew as red as her hair and I swore I could smell smoke. "Teasing me is a very, very bad idea unless you r common room is by the hospital wing. Oh wait, it isn't. So shut up! I may be eleven, but I won't hesitate to beat you all up."
The boys just laughed again. Sapphire growled and launched herself across the table with no warning at all! I just sat there. They should know better, especially Sean. Ruby pushed her back into her seat and said, "Down, girl. You don't wanna get into a fight on your first day."
I wanted to see a fight! "Yes you do!" I argued back and everyone glared at me. "I'm just gonna eat my muffin now." I said, taking a bite out of said muffin.
Roxanne, Louis, Fred, and James got into a conversation about their first prank of the year. Sapphire immediately perked up and leaned forward. "Pranks? I love pranks! I pull them all the time! Are you going to do anything that involves a toilet seat, a twig from the Whomping Willow, or a lock of hair from Diamond, Ruby, me, Rose, or Dominique?"
"Why would you need any of those things?" Victoire asked.
"Our younger sisters and our friend wanted gifts from Hogwarts." Ruby explained.
"Who wanted locks of hair? Are they some kind of sick weirdo?" Roxanne asked.
"Their sister Jessica. She wants to see what the most popular hair color is so she can dye her hair that color." Sean answered.
"The toilet seat?" Louis asked.
"That was my idea. It's for our friend Lightning." Sapphire beamed.
"That's bloody brilliant!" Fred exclaimed.
"I know right!" Sapphire answered.
"Okay, but what about the twig from the Whomping Willow?" James asked.
"That's from our youngest sister Aqua. Our other friend Monkey Boots told her about the Whomping Willow and that's what she asked for." I said. "Aqua's not quite—"
"Sane." Sapphire cut in.
"That's not true!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Isn't it, Ruby? Isn't it?" Sean asked.
"Guys, stop! Aqua is very sane." Ruby defended.
The two of them then got into an argument. Victoire started asking about our family, and Sapphire answered as much as she could.
I just sat there day-dreaming. I do that way too often for my own good—especially in class. I always seem to get off topic and start talking or thinking about something else. I'll be humming a song, and a line will remind me of something else and I'll start humming that song or quoting that TV show/book. The only other one of us who does that is Pearl, so she's the only one I can have a conversation with without the other person looking at me like I'm insane.
So I decided to just sit there. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored! I'm sooooooooo bored! I sang in my head. A hush went over the room. I looked over to the doors. Standing there were Albus and Scorpius. A second later, Rose and Dom came up behind them.
Almost everybody got up and tried to ask them a bunch of questions. I think I saw one Ravenclaw take a selfie with them behind him. It was like paparazzi. They finally got to the table and sat down with us. The other Weasleys and Potter's faces said 'Been there, done that.'
As the crowd was dispersing, Scorpius walked through the door—and everyone fled back to their respective tables. When he sat down near us, James, Fred, Louis, and Roxanne looked at him like he was evil.
I felt bad and decided to say something, but Albus beat me to it. "Oi!" He said to them. "We don't like to be judged on what our parents did, you say that all the time. So don't just Scorpius on what HIS parents did."
Rose still didn't make eye contact and just ate her food. Everybody resumed their conversations again. I just sat there. Again.
Just then, a horde of owls came through the ceiling—don't ask me how. One of them was our family owl and had a letter—duh—for us.
Ruby grabbed it first and ripped it open. "What does it say?!" We demanded.
"It says…it says…uh…someone else read this!" She exclaimed.
"You can't read?" Rose asked. Sapphire gasped.
"Of course I can!" Ruby exclaimed. "We all have dyslexia! The words float off the page when we try to read them! We aren't stupid."
"Sorry, it was an accident." Rose mumbled.
"Hey," Sapphire said. "It's okay. We're not mad, we're just…annoyed a bit!"
"Do you want one of us to read it out loud for you?" Dom asked.
"Sure." Sean answered.
Ruby handed the letter to her. "It says,
Dear Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, and Sean,
We're DELIGHTED to hear that you got Gryffindor! Smoky never thought you'd make it to any house other than Huffepuff, so he had to give your father (Or Mr. Sapphire) five galleons. They bet on it! Can you believe it? I kind of can, knowing them. I heard that you're in the same year AND house Harry and Ginny Potter's son, Draco and Astoria Malfoy's son, Ron and Hermione Weasley's daughter, AND Bill and Fleur Weasley's daughter! How exciting. Jessica can't wait for the hair samples (Even though I can't IMAGINE why she'd want those). Aqua also wants to know that since you're Gryffindors, if that means you're brave enough to take a twig from the Whomping Willow. Girls, your father and I FORBID you from going anywhere NEAR that thing! Understand? And Sean, honey, your mother forbids you too so don't you dare. Last but not least, when did you promise Lightning a toilet seat? I don't remember crazy stuff like that happening when I was at Hogwarts. I look forwar. To seeing that come in the mail. I also know that despite what I said, you'll go forward with the Whomping Willow plan anyways. Just be careful kids, none of us want anything to happen to you. Especially before you're even teenagers! Be careful and study, but most of all, have fun. I know that my time at Hogwarts was the best years of my life, so don't waste it. 'Cause in a blink, it'll be over. Write back soon!
Love,
Mom (Garnet Sapphire)
Dad (Smoky Topaz Sapphire Sr.)
Smoky (Smoky Topaz Sapphire Jr.)
Mom (Tiffany)
Jessica
Aqua
and Lightning.
XOXOXOXO."
"Aw, how'd you get a letter so fast?" Rose asked.
"Five-hour time difference—they got it a while ago." Sean explained.
When breakfast was over, we all headed to the common room. After about ten minutes of just sitting there, the portrait opened and the room got a little colder. A pale girl our age with ice blue eyes and shoulder-length untidy white hair came in. She waved. "Hi, I'm Jackie Frost. I came late so I was sorted about a minute ago and directed here. Oh, and call me Jack, not Jackie." She said.
I got up and when over to her. "Hi, I'm Diamond Sapphire."
She grinned. "Thank you for being the first person to say something to me besides the teachers. And a high-five for being American like me!"
I grinned back and the others introduced themselves. We hung out and got to know eachother better the rest of the day and then went to our separate dormitories.
There was a sixth bed moved into our room for Jack. We had school tomorrow. (Sigh). But I was ready. Jack and I had a lot in common, and were already moving towards being best friends. My first year of Hogwarts was already starting to be great.
Okay, the Jack Frost thing is my best friend who I met at the beginning of the school year. She's a daughter of *SPOILERS* Khione *UNSPOILERS* and obsessed with Jack Frost. That's why she's not in the prologue or the sorting, because I hadn't met her yet. Now you're all caught up. Remember, every 30th reviewer gets a prize. I'll let you know what it is when it happens. If any you guys want to talk about Doctor Who (New, not classic), PM me. PLEASE!
