This story wouldn't exist without JK Rowling. Some might be my own charcters, but they wouldn't have been thought up …. please excuse me in advance for spelling glitches.

If you're just starting reading my stories, this is the third in a series of sorts, but you do not absolutely have to read the others.

Well here goes nothing… introducing Sapphire Molly Weasley solo edition! =)

SW pov*

All my life, whenever I met someone new, apparently I wasn't new to them. I love my big family so much, but people always know who I am. I'm one of four girls born a Weasley in the last hundred years, so I'm recognized frequently in the wizarding world. (There's still a frame on Grandma's wall at the Burrow from the Quibbler with the picture and article about Aunt Ginny, Torie, Lily, and I.) My mum also saved the wizarding world with her two best friends, and my dad co-founded the famous WWW, so most wizards know of their unusual love story.

I love who I am, and my family. I'm my daddies' princess, my mum's baby girl, and my older brothers' favorite person to prank or protect. I just wish I could meet someone that didn't already know my name, and expect me to act a certain way! Don't get me wrong, I love my life, but I need a change, some adventure!

Sure, my hair isn't flaming red like most of my cousins, so at first glance many people might not know my last name. My curly vibrant auburn hair is a mix between my mum and dad's. (My mum sometimes jokes and says she's jealous that mine isn't bushy like hers was, but my father jokes right back and says it's because I have half perfect genes.) Everyone always comments on my stunning blue eyes or smile from my dad, and my small, delicate nose, and high cheek bones from my mum. My Grand-mum smiles every time I smile because I have my dad's smile exactly, and "she just loves seeing her grandbabies look like her own grown-up babies."

… The only thing I hate about my 5'4 petite frame is that all of my brothers and guy cousins (I have 18 if you include Teddy.) feel the need to always protect me. I can take care of myself, thank you very much! That's why I'm happy that I am FINALLY the seventh year in the family (well me, Joey, Jake, and Preston), so that makes me (us) at the top of the totem pole for once!

I have always been around guys. I grew up with a lot, so I'm not one of those girls that are afraid of guys. My problem was usually that my brothers or cousins don't like the idea of a guy fancying me.

It had all started4th year when Adam Wood asked me to go to Hogsmead with him. I had been so excited, that after I had shyly accepted, I ran to the 5th year's girl dorm after class to tell one of my best friends and cousin the big news. She was very excited for me but advised me not to tell my cousins and ESPECIALLY not my brothers, because last year they had used my dad's products (which I think they had gotten for free after telling my dad what they were going to use them for.) to prank her date, Dan Quinn. Luckily they weren't too mean, because Dan was friends with the boys afterwards.

Even though I tried my hardest not to let them find out, it was impossible to keep news from the twins. Trev and Ty were like my dad and Uncle George. They knew every inch of the castle and everything that went on in it. So next thing I knew I had Trevor and Tyler in my room telling me how disgusting boys were. (Don't ask me how two guys got in the girls dorm, they're the twins.) They have their ways.

In the end they didn't achieve what they wanted, because I still went on my first date.

It's now the summer before my 7th year, and there are only 2 weeks left till we return to school. Earlier this week we received our Hogwarts letters, and mum had gone crazy when she found out I was going to be head girl. I'm excited too, don't get me wrong, but I am just tired of everyone but my mum and Johnny making fun of me for it … even my dad has made a few jokes although he is really proud, deep down.

I'm so happy that my best friend Emma is coming over today and is staying for the rest of the summer. She has always kept me sane with all of the boys around. Emma and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. Her, Lily and I would always hang out at family parties, because her parents Neville and Cho were always invited…

I was overjoyed as my friend came tumbling out of the fire place. (Emma had her dad's coordination on land, but her mum's on a broom.) She looks so much like her mum. She has black long, straight hair, brown eyes, and a small nose. She, like me has her dad's smile, and also his paler skin tone. Many guys think she's very pretty, including one of my favorite guy cousins Joey.

"AHHHHHHHH FIRE WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE HEAD GIRL?!" she shrieked out as she regained her balance

"HEY EMMA! I've missed you! … wait, how did you know? I was going to tell you when you got here."

"Well, you see, I was … made prefect … so I just figured … sorry I ruined the surprise .." she said looking guilty.

"Oh Emma … you didn't ruin anything! … wait, OhMyGAWD! You made prefect!!!!! That's so exciting!!!!"

She blushed and said, "Thanks, mum and dad were really excited before they left for their vacation. I'm just worried about all the guys on the quidditch team … they'll never let me live it down …"

(Her parents always go on a vacation for the last two weeks in the summer because Neville has to go and teach while Cho stays home with their younger children. Emma's siblings stay with their grandparents.)

"Oh don't worry about it … we can take them!" I laughed

"WHAT'S THE NOISE IN HERE?!" came a voice from the other room … oh no …

In came the twins, Greg, and Joey … DUN DUN DUNNN

"What, I thought you guys were at work?" I asked the twins and Greg.

"Well, you see dad said we could have the day off to make sure you stayed out of trouble with Emma, while mum is at the Ministry meeting." Said Trevor with a smirk, ughh my dad was so protective.

"Yup, my dad (George) is working the Diagon Alley Shop, and your dad is working the Hogsmead Shop." Said Greg trying to look important.

"We were thinking we could play some quidditch … wanna play?" asked Tyler

"But we understand if you prefects want to go hang out with Preston or something." Joey said with a smirk looking at Emma. Who scowled back at him.

"Maybe in a little bit guys … but Emma probably wants to get unpacked …" I replied

"AWWWWWW come on Fire puhhhh leaseeeee play! Our brothers are never home so we can't play like we always did when we were younger!" whined Joey

"Oh grow up Joseph! They're still here all the time and you know it. I only wish they were gone." I said with big a smirk and then turned to help Emma levitate her trunk upstairs.

"Come on Em!" Begged Joey, "We need a seeker!"

She turned and smiled sweetly making him think he had won. "Shouldn't have made the prefect joke Joseph." We started to giggle as we hurried up the stairs and into my room.

We caught up as she unpacked. I didn't get to see her a lot during the summer, because she had to baby sit her younger siblings. After she was done unpacking we went down stairs to get some lunch. As soon as we were done eating the boys surrounded us and made us play.

It was a quick game of three on three, because it started to thunder storm, so we had to go inside. I've always hated thunderstorms, but I'm terrified of them if I'm outside. Emma and I ran inside and tried to think of what we could all do instead.

We decided we were going to have a movie afternoon. We called the boys to come in and watch it with us, made some popcorn, and watched Taken.

I'm really starting to think that Emma was mad at Joey, because she has barely talked to him all day. She's probably mad about the prefect comment …

It was an intense movie, about a girl who was kidnapped while she was on vacation. We all seemed to like it. … Last time we had a movie afternoon it was just Emma, Joey and I, so we made him watch a chick flick … that didn't go over too well.

When the movie was over mum called us all in for dinner.

"Hey mum, how was your meeting?" I asked as we all sat down at the table.

"Oh, you know, just the same old boring stuff. I feel like I've been working there for forever ," she said as she brought the food to the table. My mum had decided not to work until the twins went to Hogwarts. I also started the 1st grade, so no one would be home. She got her job back at the ministry, and she loved it.

"So, how was your day here?" Mum asked.

"We had a full house today," I said with a glare at my dad

"Oh really? Emma got here, but who else?"

"The twins, Greg, and Joey …" I said smiling at my dad. Mum was going to be mad he gave them the day off of work. She always gave my dad a hard time, because he doesn't understand that I'm 17 now! He should remember since I just had my birthday! … she also thinks the twins have it too easy. Their first real job after school was getting the Hogsmead branch of WWW, so dad and Uncle George could work together again. Mum thought they got it too easily. All they did before it was work at the shops every summer while at school. She said they didn't work for it.

"Oh really?" mum said looking at dad with a smirk, "I thought the boys just came over after work."

Dad looked sheepishly at mum and said, "I thought the girls would get lonely, and I didn't want them to get in trouble …"

"Fred …" mum said dangerously.

"Ok fine, I knew there was going to be a thunderstorm sometime today, and I didn't want the girls to freak out."

Mum smiled. "That was very thoughtful Fred."

I blushed. Dad's right. I am still a baby. I'm 17 and still afraid of thunderstorms. Mum said it was because I associate them with people leaving. Like when Johnny left for Hogwarts, but still, that's pathetic.

We finished eating dinner, and then Emma, Joey, and I went upstairs to my room to talk. Joey laid on Emma's cot, on his back and was throwing a ball in the air and catching it, while Emma and I sat on my bed reading magazines.

Joey paused and looked over at us sadly and said, "Look Em, I know you're mad, but I'm sorry about the whole prefect thing. I didn't mean to make fun of you. I'm just going to miss the fun we had when we hung out while Fire was away patrolling."

Emma looked up from her magazine with a small smile on her face, "It's okay Joey."

"So I'm forgiven?!"

She laughed at the eager look on his face, "Yeah, I suppose you are."

"YES!" He said throwing his fist in the air. "I think this year is going to be awesome," he said as he laid back down so he could keep throwing the ball. "I mean we so have a chance to get the cup again, don't you think Em?"

"Yeah, I think we have a great chance. Don't we have practice tomorrow at Jake's?"

"Yup … I'm so glad we have a full returning team. It was nice to be able to practice in the summer."

They continued to talk to each other for a while … they always get like this. They start talking and then forget anyone else is in the room. I would mind, if I didn't already know how much they liked each other, but were too shy to act on it. They had always liked each other, and I had always known.

With his strawberry blonde from a mix between his mum and dad, and blue eyes from his dad, many girls thought Joey was a hunk. He was also tall, and played qudditich, so Emma thought he would never see her as anyone besides a teammate.

How did Emma miss the glares Joey was sending her date, every time someone asked her out? Last year, Joey about killed the7th year Ravenclaw prefect when he asked Emma to the spring fling dance. It was for the 6th and 7th years and Joey had just worked up the courage to ask her, when he found out she already had a date.

Also, she doesn't even think anything of it when he calls her Em! He's called her that since fourth year, and is thee only one who does!! It's so cute that he has his own nick name for her, but she doesn't even acknowledge it.

All of a sudden Greg came in, "Sorry to interrupt this party, but we have to go home Joey. Mum misses her babyyyyy."

"Shut up Greg," Joey said as he threw the ball at his brother. It hit him right on the nose, "See you tomorrow ladies!" He called as he left the room running from his brother who wanted revenge for getting hit in the face.

I turned to Emma. "I bet he asks you out before Christmas!"

She got this shocked look on her face, "Fire! How many times do I have to tell you he doesn't like me!"

I gave her a glare, "Okay. Whatever. I'm not going to fight with you about this. We'll see whose right. Night." And I turned off the lights.

She got over into her bed, "Night Fire."

The next morning I woke up with a start. Something was different. I looked over at Emma's bed and saw a note. I got up to see what it said.

Sapphire-The boys made me get up early and go to Jake's house to practice. You should come when you get up! –wish I was still sleeping like you, Emma

I got up, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, got dressed, and went down stairs. I grabbed some bacon and floo'ed over to Jake's house. I walked into the kitchen and found my Aunt Natasha cooking lunch.

I sat down at the table to talk to her. She's always been a cool Aunt and she's easy to talk to. I always make an effort to talk a lot with my aunts, because they usually don't get any girl time.

"Hey, how's it going?" I asked with a smile.

"Oh, fine. Just cooking the qudditich team some lunch." She said distractedly .

"Do you need any help?" I asked, and when she didn't respond I had to ask again.

"Sure, thanks Fire, I just have a lot on my mind," she answered embarrassedly.

"Really like what?"

"Well, it's actually surprising news …"

"Really? You know how much I love surprises." I smiled encouragingly, since she looked nervous.

"Well … I found out, I'm about two and a half months pregnant …"

"AAAHHHH!!!!! That's so exciting! Does grand-mum know?!"

She smiled, "Nope, you're the first one I've told besides Charlie. I'm just afraid people will think I'm too old …"

"No one will think that … Do you honestly think Grandmum Weasley would EVER be sad about a new grandchild??"

Aunt Natasha smiled, "You're right Fire. I'll tell everyone at the family breakfast on Sunday. Are you excited to be going back to Hogwarts? I know Jacob is." … she's the only one who calls him Jacob …

"Oh yes!" I exclaimed, "I can't wait to be head girl. And Emma and I were thinking of going to Diagon Alley after family breakfast for our school supplies. No one usually goes on Sunday … can Jake go?" I asked pleadingly.

Aunt Natasha smiled, "Of course he can Fire. You keep Joseph and Jacob in line. Sometimes I don't know what we would do without you!"

I smiled sweetly. If there were only two things in life I could do, it would be helping people with their problems, and getting people to let me do something.

The following Sunday after a long week of fun Emma, Joey, Jake and I floo'ed to Diagon Alley after breakfast at Grand mum's. (I was right, everyone was thrilled over Aunt Natasha's pregnancy.) We went to all the essential stores. Buying books, quills, ink, bags, new robes, and a stash of candy that would probably not even last that long.

After we had bought everything we went to get some ice cream, Emma and I sat down at a table and made the guys go get the ice cream cones.

"Emma, I really think he likes you! Just go for it." I encouraged her.

"Fire, Joey will never see me as anything besides a team mate, when will that finally get through your head?"

I smirked, "NEVEERRRRR!"

Emma had gone back to trying to convince me I was wrong when all of a sudden I heard someone call my name, "SAPPHIRE WEASLEY!"

I turned around to see one of my good friends Tiffany Issca. She was with her friends from Slytherin, Erin Prince and Glenda Goyle.

"Hey girls! Doing your school shopping?" I asked with a smile.

"Yup, almost through the monster of a list … and you?" Tiffany replied with a smile. We had been good friends since first year and then our friends were pleasant with each other, but house rivalry was hard to get past, especially for those on the qudditich team like Emma and Glenda.

"Yes, actually we were just getting done. We sent our servants in to get us ice cream." I joked.

"Excuse me!" Jake protested loudly as he came out of the store with our ice cream, "We most certainly are not your servants …" He jokingly got down on one knee and handed me my ice cream. "Here is you chocolate cone, oh princess." Joey copied him and did the same thing for Emma with her strawberry one.

… Jake usually let Joey do all the talking … unless Tiffany was around … hmmmm

I laughed, "well guys I guess we'll see you next week! Have a great rest of the summer! Maybe we could all get together sometime." I called over my shoulder as we headed back to my and Joey's dad's store to floo home. I wouldn't tell my mum, but we bought a few products.

The rest of the summer consisted of qudditich, girl time with Emma, and hanging out with boys in my family. I'm tired of being one of the guys with my cousins. I need something new and exciting … Little did I know this year was going to be full of changes, and surprises.

Okay … so I know it might be a little rushed, but it's only the first chapter and has to set everything up. Tell me if you think I should update. –Grace
