Okay this is just a warning, this chapter is really short … I have some important issues at the end.

"HEY FIRE! WAIT FOR ME!" Joey yelled as I sprinted out the back door and made my way towards the pool.

I just love summer! It's so much fun. All I have to do is eat, sleep, and have fun. Nothing else.

I especially like when we have the barbeques. Every summer there's a tradition, that each of the families (The Longbottoms, all of my aunts and uncles, and the Dursleys) have to have a barbeque. Today's it happened to be at my house.

Emma, my cousins, and I were all having fun in the pool like usual, when I realized there was someone holding a baby talking to my mum. I had no idea who she was, so I decided to go investigate.

I got out of the pool, grabbed my turquoise towel, that matched my favorite two piece bathing suit, and made my way over to my mum, Aunt Ginny, and the stranger.

As I walked up the lady looked down at me and smiled. She seemed friendly. She had pretty long dark hair, and green eyes. … "Oh Hermione! She must be your daughter Sapphire … she looks so much like you, but those eyes. Exactly like Fred's."

My dad came up and smiled, "I know, it's a good thing Fire took after me huh," he joked as he batted his eyelashes.

"Oh Fred," mum laughed. "Shouldn't you be looking after the grill? If you insist on using muggle methods you need to be responsible!"

"Oh fine," he said with a wink at me, "Nice seeing you Liliah."

I looked at my mum questioningly as dad walked away. "This is my friend from school Sapphire, her name's Delilah."

I looked at the lady and gave her my best polite smile, "It's nice to meet you! … I see you had a baby in a pink blanket, can I see her? I never see babies, that are girls!"

They all laughed. "Sure, you can hold her too if you like," she said with a smile. "I just came by to say hello to your mum and have her meet my baby girl. I have two boys, and now I have a girl."

I crinkled my nose. "I'm glad you didn't bring them boys, we already have enough of them." The grown ups all laughed again, and continued to talk.

I looked down at the little girl I was holding. She looked about two years old. She had blonde hair like Victoire, but she had green eyes, not blue like Victoire. She was really pretty little baby too … "What's her name?" I asked as their conversation paused for a second.

"Dakota Destiny," mum's friend said.

"Wow … that'd really pretty. Is she named after anyone? My middle name is my Grandma's name .."

Mum interrupted, "No sweetie, it's just her name. How about you give Delilah back her baby, and you go play with your cousins. You're getting Dakota all wet, and Emma is getting dunked by Joey. I think she needs your help."

"Okay mum," I said handing the baby back to her mum carefully. I said, "Bye Dakota!" and ran to go help Emma. Oh my, I have my work cut out for me, if I want to see them become a couple someday. How was Joey ever going to get Emma to be his girlfriend if he was mean all the time?!

…

The rest of the summer went by way too quickly, and all too soon Johnny, Trev, and Ty were leaving for Hogwarts.

"I'm really going to miss you guys!" I said quietly, as I gave each of them a hug on the platform. There seemed to be more people than normal around, and it was really crowded.

"Hey! You cried when Johnny left for the first time. Why aren't you crying now?" asked Trevor

"Do you love Johnny more than us?" Ty asked in fake outrage.

"You know that's not true," I put my hands on my hips.

"… I always figured you did." Joked Ty, and looked at his twin.

They smiled at each other and then yelled, "SAPPHIRE SANDWICH!" Then they squeezed me goodbye.

They always did this to avoid serious goodbyes … I couldn't get away, but once again Johnny came to my rescue. "Come on guys, I need to say bye too. The train is about to leave. Get a move on it," He warned them. The twins let go and then raced each other to the train. Which ended in a tie as always since they were identical in every way. "Bye mum, bye dad, bye Fire, See you at Christmas," they called.

"Well I'll miss you Fire, you better write a lot this year!" Johnny said with a smile.

"Bye Johnny, I promise I will. Just promise me one thing," I said to him.

"What?" He asked.

"Don't let them blow up Hogwarts before I get a chance to go there!" I joked.

He laughed and hugged me goodbye. I watched as all three of them waved goodbye as the train began to pull away. After they left it was just mum, dad, and me. I felt lonely …

"It's going to be so quiet without them," mum said sadly.

"I miss them," I said quietly.

"They'll be back before you know it," Dad said as we left the platform as the train disappeared. I had to go to muggle school tomorrow, so I had to be prepared.

Mum had bought me a new book bag, paper, glue sticks, crayons, colored pencils, markers, scissors, and everything else I needed for the third grade. I was excited, because this year Emma, Joey, and I were all in the same class! We all go to the same school, Devon Elementary, because we live by each other.

The rest of the day we were busy getting ready, but I liked it because I didn't have time to miss the twins and Johnny. Later Mum made me go to bed early, so I would get a good night's sleep.

She woke me up the next morning and I hurried to get ready. I ate breakfast quickly and then Dad drove me to school.

"Well Princess, have fun today, and make sure Joey behaves for at least half of the time."

I laughed, "Daddy! You know that's impossible, but maybe he'll behave to try and impress Emma. He's liked her for forever!"

"Now sweetie, if a boy likes a girl he does crazy things, not behave. Haven't I taught you anything? Just look at what I had to do to get your mum's attention, when we were young."

I smiled, "Daddy … how does that stuff work? I don't want a mean boyfriend who laughs at me!"

Dad laughed, "No princess, you don't want a boyfriend at all, or at least until you're out of Hogwarts. And married."

"How can I be married, if I don't have a boyfriend?" I asked.

"Oh … um … I don't know, you just can't date Fire. Well, here we are. Have a fun day at school! See you when you get home. No talking to any boys besides Joey… oh and don't forget Aunt Alicia is picking you up after school!"

"Bye dad!" I yelled as I got out of the car and walked into school. I found my classroom easily, and took a seat by Emma.

"So how was yesterday?" She asked as I sat down.

"Oh, you know the same as before, but it's just me at home now… I'm really going to miss them. Even if they are mean and obnoxious most of the time, at least they provide some entertainment!" I laughed.

"Yea, I know what you mean, but we'll be there with them in two years!" she reasoned.

"I know … I'm excited, but kind of nervous."

"Excited about what?" Interrupted Joey as he sat down in his chair.

"About how our mums are going to let us get wands tomorrow, so we can practice." I lied.

"NO WAY! That's so unfair, my mum won't let me …" pouted Joey.

We burst out laughing, "I can't believe you fell for that!" Emma cried out.

He looked mad, that we fooled him, and tried to change the subject. "My house is so quiet without Harrison and Greg, what about your's Fire?"

"Yeah it was so quiet! Mum kept coming into the room thinking that the twins were probably plotting some grand scheme and that's why it was quiet, but then she would leave with a sad look on her face because she forgot they were gone."

"Yeah my mum was crying for like forever. Greg was always a momma's boy!" Joked Joey

"Joey, be nice! I miss them all too!" I stood up for his mum.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. They all went without us!" He said a bit angrily.

"They had to Joey …" Emma started

"You two want to come over after school? I bet my mum would be happy to have more people in the house," Joey asked.

"Your mum is taking me home, so yes," I said.

"Sure, I bet my mum wouldn't mind." Emma smiled.

The rest of the school day went by quickly. I thought muggle school was easy. I can't wait to go to Hogwarts! … but I have two whole years to wait …
