Okay so someone made a comment about Sapphire not being close to the twins ... I just want to explain some things.
Sapphire is the mix of her parents, so shes smart like her mum, and has a sense of humor like her dad. She has fun with the twins, but she also lets them know when they've gone too far. She's especially close with her oldest brother Johnny, because the twins do stuff together ... any questions?
*SWpov*
"BYE JOHNNY!!!" I yelled as I ran after the train … I can't believe he left, now I have to face the twins for practically a whole year all by myself. I turned around to find where Mum, Dad, Trev, Ty, Grandmum, Aunt Alicia, Uncle George, Greg, and Joey were on the platform. I started to walked back towards them slowly, when I noticed mum was crying … oh no, what happened?!
"Mum … what's the matter?!" I asked as I ran up to her.
"Oh, it's nothing princess. You're mum is just emotional, because her oldest is now at Hogwarts," laughed dad as he picked me up and hugged me. "Never, cry for no reason Fire, like some of those other girls do."
"Oh Fred! I'm not just emotional! This is a big day, and Sapphire can cry whenever she wants to." laughed mum through her tears.
"You know Freddie, I cried when all of my babies left for the first time. Hermione is doing quite well, for a first timer." Said Grandmum with a smile.
"Yea and she cried at just about every other family function." Joked Uncle George.
"GEORGE!" said Grandmum and Aunt Alicia sternly at the same time. It was funny to see my dad and Uncle George together. They're a lot like Ty and Trev.
I jumped out of my dad's arms, hugged my mum to make her feel better, and asked Grandmum, "I'll miss them too mum, but Grandmum, can Joey and I come over and spend the night next weekend? You promised we could come over, remember?!" I asked.
She smiled, "Of course, I would love to have you two come over."
Grandmum always invites us over to spend the night, and just have fun. One time we even went with Grandpa to an amusement park, "Can we make a cake?"
"Of course we can," She said with a smile.
"YAY!" I yelled and ran over to tell Joey the good news. He and his parents had started to leave the platform.
"Guess what JOSEPH?!" I asked, as we started to leave the platform … I love making him mad by calling him by his full name.
"What?" he asked looking cross.
"We're spending the night at Grandma's this weekend, and we get to bake a cake! If you want to go ..." I said with a smile.
"Really? Cake sounds good," he said with a smile.
"Oh, and I forgot to tell you …" I said with a smirk.
"Forgot to tell me what?" He asked a little confused. I always tell him everything.
"Emma is coming over to my house tomorrow after school! Do you want to come over tooooo?" I asked. He will admit to me that he loves Emma one day … I've known since we were six, that they are going to get married. Just you wait and see.
"NO Fire! I don't want to come now. Why would you think that?!" Joey asked as he blushed.
… I decided to be easy on him … I mean he IS my favorite guy cousin, and one of my best friends when the other boys arent around … "Well we're all going to be playing qudditich, so I figured you would want to come and play. My mum is finally going to let me test out the new broom I got for my 7th birthday." I stated looking innocent.
"Really? Sounds like fun. Okay Sapphie I'll ask my mum and then owl you tomorrow. She probably won't mind, because I always come over after muggle school anyway … well it looks like my parents are leaving, so I gotta go. Bye Sapphie!"
"Bye Joey! See you tomorrow at school!!" I said happily as we walked our separate ways in the parking lot. I followed the twins and climbed into the car.
"Mum, when does Johnny come back?" I asked as dad pulled the car out of the parking lot.
"He'll be back for Christmas break Sapphire. Just like Teddy and Victoire." She answered.
"WHAT?! We can't visit him sooner?! That's like forever!!!!!!!!!!" I complained
"I know sweetie …" she started.
"… b-but I already miss him!" I said as my eyes started to water.
"Now Fire, what did I say about crying?" asked dad, "It's perfectly alright to cry when you have a reason, but no crying just because. And if you behave, and listen to your mum, maybe I'll let you sneak in and see him. I happen to know the Head Mistress quite well."
"FRED! They're not even at Hogwarts yet and you're telling her to break the rules because you have connections!!!" yelled mum.
"Now Hermione, you can't expect my children to behave all the time," dad started.
"Daddy! I always behave!!!!! When can you take me to see him?!" I asked excitedly.
"Shhh, we'll talk about this some other time princess, when your mum isn't around." Dad said with a smile.
"FREDERICK, you will do no such thing!!!" yelled mum.
Soon we were back at home. Mom cooked us dinner, and then we all watched a movie in the family room. But before the movie was even over I was falling asleep, so mum made me go upstairs and go to sleep. I walked up the stairs, and down the hallway to my room. Mum had recently painted it pink! Emma hadn't seen it yet, so she'll be surprised tomorrow when she comes over.
I put on my purple pajama dress, got into bed, and soon fell asleep.
But as usual, when I'm worrying about something, I had a bad dream. I was worried about Johnny and how he was doing at Hogwarts. What happened if he got lost in the big school, and couldn't ever find his way out? Dad had said he got an owl from Professor Longbottom, who ever that is, and he said Johnny was sorted into Gryffindor. Sure, that meant Teddy could help him out, but still … what if he got eaten by a troll or something! Trev said they sometimes do that!
I woke up with a start. BOOM … FLASH … oh no! Not a thunder storm! ... I pulled my blankets over my head. I'm seven years old! I can stay in my own bed during a silly thunder storm … BOOOOOOM … FLASH. My whole room lit up and then went back to the eerie darkness. Be a brave Gryffindor Sapphire! … Alright I can do this … BOOOM …FLASH … Ty is probably scared too … maybe I should go see if he's okay … BOOOM … FLASH
I hopped out of bed and ran out the door, down the hall and into the twin's room. BOOOOOM … FLASH! I squeaked in fright.
"Fire, just go back to bed, it's just a thunderstorm!" grumbled Trevor from his bed.
"But it's really loud in my room … can I say in here with you … Ty?" I asked the bed to the left side of the room in a small, hopeful voice. BOOOOM … FLASH, I squeaked again.
"Come on Fire … hop on in … just try and get some sleep." Ty said in a tired voice
"Thanks Ty, you're the best!" I said as I jumped in the bed and pulled the covers over me.
BOOOM … FLASH! I snuggle closer to my brother, and tried to fall asleep. BOOM … FLASH!
"…Ty, make it stop!" I said in a small voice.
"Fire, we talk about this every time there's a thunder storm. When I get to Hogwarts I'll figure out what spell I can do to make it stop, but I have no idea how to make it stop until then. Mum won't let me get a wand yet, or even use hers." Said Ty tiredly
BOOOM … FLASH "Oh, yeah … I forgot. Do you think Johnny will figure it out?! And then tell us how at Christmas when we see him?"
"yea … maybe Fire … just go to sleep." He said quietly.
"I'm trying," I said as I closed my eyes.
"Just remember … it can't hurt you. I know it's loud, but it can't get you." He said reassuringly
Maybe I was more tired than I thought.
…
"Mione, Fire's not in her room," said Fred as he came back into the kitchen.
"Well there was a thunder storm last night ," I reminded him.
"There was? I didn't even hear it. Did you go check on her?" He asked worriedly.
"We can't baby her for forever Fred," I said looking away.
He looked at me and smiled. "You checked on her … I can tell from the look on your face! She's in there with Ty … isn't she? "
"Yeah, she is …" I said with a sigh.
"I should have known… I'll go wake them up, so they can read the letter from Johnny.
…
Hey everyone,
Well I think Professor Longbottom already told you (Fire that's Emma's dad, if you didn't remember.), but if you didn't already know, I am in the Gryffindor house with Harrison. Everyone has been really nice so far, and it was a lot of fun last night. Uncle Ron was right. The food here is great! I'm writing after breakfast because I asked Head Mistress McGonagall this morning if there was any way you could stop a thunderstorm with magic, and sorry Fire, she said there's nothing we can do. She also said something about you mum but she mumbled it so I didn't quite hear it all … something about questions. I think she liked you though. Well I'm sorry again Fire … I was hoping I could help, but oh well. I'll write you after classes mum and tell you how they went, but I have to go find out where the potions class is. Teddy says it's in the dungeon, and that's far away, so I better go.
Talk To You All Later,
Love,
Jonathon Emmet Weasley, of Gryffindor
p.s. The secret bag worked, it got past Filch.
"Aw, I really miss Johnny,and I wish there was a way to stop thunderstorms …" I said sadly.
"I know sweetie," said mum as she hugged me, "Fred …"
"Mione, it was only for testing for the shop!" He tried to explain.
"FRED!"
"Relax mum," said Ty.
"It's not like he got caught." Reassured Trev.
"Exactly!" smiled dad at the boys.
"What if he would have gotten in trouble? On the first day!!" My mum said worriedly.
"He's my son, he won't get caught," Dad said with a smile.
"Oh and that makes me feel sooo much better! Plus, you're right! He's your son, so Filtch probably already hates him. My poor baby ... who wants breakfast?" sighed mum looking defeated.
"ME!!! Chocolate chip pancakes!!!" I yelled as I ran to sit in my chair at the table.
Well ... tell me what you think! I wasn't so sure on the new of the chapter, Review, ~Grace
