Okay so this is the last chapter in these little flashes at their lives (and my favorite!)… as you can tell I'm focusing on one of their kids, and Sapphire is going to be the main character in my next story (that is if you want me to continue … if I get a good response I will launch my new story next week). I love this chapter it's the longest I've written, so enjoy! …

*SW pov*

"SAPPHIRE! Wake up! Please! You know how nervous I am for today… I know it's early on your day to sleep in, but the Slytherin tryouts are after ours, so ours got moved up. Please come to the try outs if you can get your butt out of bed. I need you there and so do the boys!" Emma yelled as she ran out of the room.

UGHHH … I thought as I got out of bed and headed towards the shower. The things I do for my best friend … I showered, changed into my lucky blue shirt (I promised Joey I would wear it.) and white soffee shorts. I dried my long, curly auburn hair, charmed it to not frizz at all even though it was humid, put on my make up, and grabbed my transfiguration book. In record breaking time I was out the door and on my way to the qudditich pitch.

I made a quick pit stop at breakfast in the great hall and grabbed some bacon to take with me … No time for chocolate chip pancakes this morning …

'Hmmm … it feels so nice outside.' I thought on my way to the pitch. It was the beginning of fourth year, and I could tell it was going to be a good one.

The Gryffindor team finally had some openings. Three people had been seventh years last year (my cousins James and Harrison, and my brother Johnny), so my other cousins and Emma were excited for the chance to try out.

I finally got to the pitch, so I found a good spot to watch from in the stands. I put my book down, and decided to watch for a while. All my life I had been around qudditich, so I knew everything there was to know. It surprised boys, who weren't my cousins, how well I could talk strategy. I'm not terrible at playing, but I just never had the passion for the sport, like all my cousins did. I also had inherited a fear of heights on a broom, from my mum, so I could never play at the pitch at Hogwarts. I would just stick to playing at Uncle Harry's pitch when I was needed to make the teams even … It was closer to the ground.

The try outs had already started, and by the looks of it Emma, Joey, and Jake were going to make it! There were a couple of 5th years, but none of them were any good. The younger students had some talent, but Emma, Joey, and Jake were a lot better, so it looked like people would be joking a while longer how the entire Gryffindor team had Weasley in their blood. (well besides Emma … but she was a close family friend …)

My cousin Gryffin (Bill's oldest son) was the captain of the team. He was also the 7th year keeper, and had been obsessed with qudditich since he was 5 years old. Uncle Harry always joked about how he was like Oliver Wood. (His son Adam would be trying out next year for the position of keeper, after Gryffin graduated.)

Trev, and Ty were of course beaters. Dad had been training them to be beaters, like him and Uncle George, ever since he realized they had talent with the bat. He had realized this on their 5th birthday, so they were REALLY good and had a lot of training. Dad bragged they were even better than him and Uncle George were.

My cousin Jack was the only chaser that was returning. He was 7th, and he is also obsessed with qudditich.

All summer long Gryffin and Jack were 'counselors' at a qudditich summer camp type thing. They invited all of the Weasley's that wanted to play and were still at Hogwarts . Emma was also invited, because she was always with me.

They had a lot of fun playing qudditich all day long, but Lily and I hadn't wanted to participate. The only reason Emma did was because she really wanted to make the team this year. She had really proven herself this summer.

… I had been thinking for a while, and it looked like things were winding down, so I figured that the tryouts were almost done. I watched nervously as they all made their way to the ground. Gryffin and Jack stood in the middle and started talking. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it looked promising when everyone but Tyler, Trevor, Joey, Jake, and Emma left the pitch.

Yay! They made it! Emma turned towards me and waved with a huge smile on her face before she started to follow the boys into the locker room. I guess they needed to do some team bonding …

I decided not to sit and wait there in the hot September sun, because the stands had no shade. I made my way down the stairs, and sat down right outside the pitch in the cool shade. I leaned against the wall, and started to read my book.

I hadn't been reading too long when I heard voices. I got up figuring that it was the team, and they were done talking about plays, but I was wrong … the noise was coming from the opposite way and was the Slytherin team … uh, oh.

They had a young team, so they didn't even need to hold try outs … they probably just wanted to make the Gryffindor team mad, by making them move their time up. Leading the team was Orion Malfoy. He was Keeper, captain, 7th year, mean, and VERY arrogant. Next were his two friends Vincent Krum(chaser), and Gus Goyle (beater).

Following them were the four people from my grade, Glenda Goyle(beater), Leighton Zambini(chaser), Scorpius Malfoy(chaser), Kelsey Krum(seeker).

The two boys were really good looking. (especially Leighton. Ever since he smiled at me first year, I had always sort of had a crush on him) During my three years of school, I had never really gotten to know them. They had never been mean to me like most of the older Slytherin were, so I didn't have a problem with them. Even though, I bet they'd never talked to me because I was a Gryffindor …

Kelsey on the other hand was a total … (sorry, but there's no other word) bitch! Sure she's pretty, and is a decent seeker (not as good as her dad), but the girl is almost as arrogant as Orion Malfoy, and ten times nastier! Ugh she's so rude. I have become friends with Tiffany Issca of Slytherin over the years, and she had introduced me to Kelsey … she's not someone you want to meet. She also introduced me to Glenda, Glenda is actually pretty nice when Kelsey isn't around.

"Well, well, well … lookey here guys! It's an endangered animal! A Weasley girl! Sure she's a pretty little thing, but don't get to close! The Weasley stink might rub off on you!" Joked Orion loudly as they paused a couple feet from me, and they all laughed.

"Yea, and don't take a picture." Vincent Krum joked, "The flash might scare her, and she'd run away."

I smirked and crossed my arms over my chest … Slytherin were so rude, but also unoriginal. I wasn't going to instigate today, because I forgot my wand in my dorm. How stupid of me! … It was because I rushed out to see Emma.

"What ARE you doing here Weasley?" Kelsey asked in a fakely sweet voice anyone could see through.

I took a deep breath and took a step towards them into the sun. I didn't want them to think I was weak, and that's why I was in the shade. It was just hot out. "Hello Kelsey … my name is Sapphire, in case you forgot. I was just here watching the Gryffindor try outs before you got here. I'm waiting for the team."

"Oh Weasley how interesting. The Gryffindor team has gotten themselves a groupie …that's pathetic!" laughed Kelsey.

… My dad has always taught me not to let people like her get to me. Right now it was particularly challenging, but I didn't let that show. "Yeah, I'll be with them celebrating after they beat your team, Kelsey. Emma's the seeker now. Looks like you have some competition." I said back as nicely as I could with a smile.

She looked shocked and then smirked. "No one can beat my team! You're just as stupid as your mudblood mother if you think that!" she said, and then only her and her brother laughed. Not even Orion, or the Goyles laughed. After the war, no one said that anymore. The whole team besides the Krum kids seemed to be stunned.

I froze. No one. Had EVER said that to me. Ever. I could feel my eyes start to sting … CRAP … I took a deep breath, and said. "You do know your dad loved my mum for a long time … right Kelsey? And that she's way smarter than you, and" I broke off. There was no reason for me to say mean things to her, that I would regret later. Why did she hate me so much? I've never done anything to her. "… you know what, you're not even worth it." I turned around and started to walk towards Hogwarts.

Right after I turned to leave I heard Joey yell, "FIRE! THE LUCKY BLUE SHIRT WORKED AGAIN! I'M SO GLAD YOU … hey wait! Where are you going? We need to celebrate, WE MADE IT! … why are they here?" he finished looking confused.

I paused and turned around to tell Joey, Jake, and Emma, that everything was fine and I was just heading back to the common room, and would see them up there. That was a big mistake. As soon as I turned around all three of their faces turned from confusion to concerned. "What did they do to you?" Joey asked in a low, cold voice.

"Aw jeez" Emma said, "We're lucky Trev and Ty stayed to talk strategy … come ON Joey" she tried to pull him towards me, past the Slytherin's, who were all just standing there, but he wouldn't move. Jake too, who was never a fighter, looked ready to throw a punch …

I hadn't made it far, so I decided to make my way back past the Slytherins and help Emma get these two to move. They were now blocking the Slytherin team's path, so they couldn't go practice. "stupid … over protective… over bearing… testosterone influenced … male … cousins …" I mumbled very quietly as I stomped my way over to Jake. I swear Scorpius Malfoy heard me say it, because the corners of his mouth turned into a smile.

"WHY ARE YOU SMILING MALFOY!?" Yelled Joey, as he took a step closer. He was so looking for a fight now. Emma was tugging on his arm frantically trying to stop him, but that wasn't working.

"He's smirking, because your mudblood cousin was just retreating!" Kelsey said with a glare. Oh no … those Krums never knew when to quit. I bet their mum was the Pansy girl my mum hated so much while she was at school.

The rest of the Slytherin team still stood there in a stunned silence again. No one ever said that word, and now Kelsey had said it twice.

My cousins started towards her "JOSEPH! JACOB! Don't you dare even throw one punch! You will regret it!" I warned them, but they continued forward a little, "What will grandma do if she finds out you hit a girl?!"

I smirked, because that stopped them, Joey turned to me, "Aw, come on Fire! Grandma doesn't need to know. Plus she so doesn't count as a girl! And you heard what she said! They can't say that about my aunt!"

All of a sudden I heard a door slamming behind us, "What's all this noise out here?!" Yelled Gryffin, "We were trying to talk strategy guys. We thought you had left." He stopped, all of a sudden noticing the Slytherin team was here … and crap, here came the twins.

"Hey Fire! Why were you just yelling at Joey, like you yell at us?" Asked Trevor as they got nearer.

"Yea … we're confused. You only do that when you're really mad, and you love Joey. He's your favorite … you wouldn't ever use that tone with," he paused as it dawned on him. The next thing I knew the twins were in front of me. Trevor facing Slytherin and Tyler was checking me for injuries. "What happened Sapphire, you okay?"

"I'm fine Ty, really, you can leave me alone." I looked around and wondered WHY the Slytherin team was still standing there … did they not understand they were about to die if Joey or Jake told the twins what they had heard. MOVE YOU STUPID SLYTHERINS. MOVE, I was telling them with my mind.

"Sapphire …" Trevor said looking worried. Oh, no … Trev never worried … and the twins only ever called me Sapphire when they were being serious. "Tell us what they did, so we know who to kill."

God, this was embarrassing, I thought as I blushed a true Weasley blush … now all the cute Slytherin boys are going to think I'm pathetic.

"They were name calling," Said Joey coldly.

"That's it?!" asked Jack as he looked at his brother, "I don't think it is because Jake is a little momma's boy and would never fight, but he looks ready to kill."

"It's nothing! Really! Can we please just go!" I said as the tears came closer.

Trevor turned to Tyler "They did something big, I haven't seen her cry since Johnny left for Hogwarts, and she was SEVEN."

Why was this happening to me?! WHY?! This was now beyond embarrassing. Everyone could hear what the twins kept saying! This whole scene could have been avoided if I had just kept going to my room … ughh and again … I bring up a previous point. WHY ARE THE SLYTHERINS STILL HERE?!

"Firstly I am not crying TREVOR FREDRICK, but can we please go! I'm not upset, but I will be if you don't hurry to the castle."

"Now Sapphire," Ty said trying to calm me. "We can all clearly see you're upset. I just don't understand why you didn't just do that curse Trev and I taught you to do on guys, when they were being total prats, like I assume the Malfoys were being."

"But Ty …" I started.

"Hold on a minute!" said Orion looking sheepish for what I bet was the first time in his life, "Don't bring me into this! It wasn't me, or my brother. I'm just here to make sure you don't kill my star seeker." … Kelsey gave him a nervous smirk, and glared at me.

"What happened?!" Gryffin demanded Joey, who seemed to becoming annoyed at not knowing the whole story.

"She called me a prat!" I tried to yell over Joey as he said "She called aunt Hermione and Fire the m word." But since what Joey said was longer everyone heard. "M word."

I hit my head with my hand ... I looked over at the Slytherin team and said, "Why are you still here?"

The twins turned and glared at Kelsey, who didn't even flinch. Vincent said, "Slytherins don't run you stupid little mudblood." Oh boy, this was not good. The twins, Joey, Jake, Gryffin, and Jack all launched themselves at Vincent.

I screamed, and grabbed Emma. "NO! TYLER GEORGE! TREVOR FREDERICK! JOSEPH! JACOB! … ANYBODY! … stop … please." I finished in a small voice.

Vincent was the only one who didn't run, and boy was he stupid. He was getting pummeled.

I started to cry. I couldn't stop myself. They were all going to be expelled!

But since it had become 6 on one, it was only the twins still fighting Vincent, so the rest of the boys came over and tried to comfort me. "It'll be alright …" Joey started

"No it won't! Now it will be all my fault when the whole, entire Gryffindor team is expelled! You didn't even get to play in a game!" I said between tears. "Please, Jack, Gryffin, make the twins stop before a teacher comes!"

They did what I wanted, pulled the twins off, and brought them over to me. They both were surprised to see me crying, and came over and hugged me. "It's alright now Sapphire," assured Ty

"Don't cry," finished Trev

"I know … sorry … it's just that …" I sniffed "I didn't want you two to get expelled!" I finished hugging them back.

"Don't worry Sapphire, we never get caught!" laughed Ty

They didn't have any injuries, so that was good … we all started to walk inside. I tried to pull myself together before we got there …

"Promise me … you will NEVER do that again?" I asked them as we reached the front doors.

"Fine …" they all said.

"Thank you! I can take care of myself," I said with a smile and we all walked into lunch. I couldn't help but notice the weird looks we were receiving from the Slytherin table. They weren't glares, more like … I don't know ... looks of astonishment. Great! Now everyone hates me

… Little did I know, Everyone was thinking 'I can't believe the Krums called her mudblood… that's terrible."

…

On Monday I was NOT looking forward to classes. Sure in first period I could avoid the Slytherins during potions, because I sat by Emma, but in transfiguration, I sat by Tiffany, and I bet she hates me now.

I walked in right before the bell and sat down quietly. I opened my book and started to read, so it looked like I was busy.

"Sapphire? …" Tiffany said quietly.

I looked at her in shock, "You're still talking to me?!"

She looked confused, "Of course I am! I heard the whole story from Leighton and Scorpius, and they said Kelsey went way too far. I mean if Orion Malfoy doesn't think it's funny, then it's way out of line. He tries to act all tough, but his mum would kill him if she heard he encouraged THAT."

I smiled nervously, "Oh, I thought everyone was going to hate me because of what happened. My brothers have ALWAYS been over protective, and they were mad … stupid older brothers!"

Tiffany laughed, "I know exactly what you mean! But really Sapphire, you thought people would hate you? No one could ever hate you. I even heard Leighton and Scorpius talking the other day, and they said you were one of the few Gryffindors they could stand. I bet that's why Kelsey doesn't like you … she's really jealous of you."

"Kelsey Krum, jealous of ME?" I asked skeptically.

"Oh yeah, think about it … you're pretty, smart, and you have a lot of friends … I don't think anyone really likes her."

"I guess I just never thought anyone would be jealous of ME …" I said still thinking about what she had said …

Adam Wood, who sat in front of us, turned around, "Hey Fire, would you believe her if I asked you to be my date for the next Hogsmead weekend?" He asked, with a smile … I have always thought he was cute.

I blushed and smiled, "Sure Adam."

"Now if you are finished with your little game, Mr. Wood. I would like to begin class." Said Professor McGonagall with a smirk.

I was trying to pay attention, but I swear I heard Joey and Jake making bets on how mad Ty and Trev were going to be that I had a date.

Want to read more on Sapphire and the other Weasley children? Review and tell me what you think. I'm not sure if I'm done writing about them. I've been busy, but I really like the next story line … If you would like me to continue the story review, and I'll post I Can Do Anything You Can Do Better if I get some response. -Grace
