“What is this place?” Sapphire whispered to Ginny. “The Leaky Cauldron. We go to Diagon Alley from here. It’s really cool!” she replied. When the family walked into The Leaky Cauldron the entire area went silent. “Oh no I haven’t told the boys yet please say they’re quiet for another reason” Sapphire thought frantically. “Oh my lord! It’s Sapphire Potter.” the bartender cried. “No she’s not” Fred said indignantly. Sapphire said “No, Fred, he’s right. I am Sapphire Potter.” There was an uproar as the whole bar got up to introduce themselves to her. She knew she was famous but this? This was not what she expected! Once her mother got her out of that situation, she brought her kids out to a brick wall, tapped five different bricks with her wand. As soon as she tapped the fifth brick the wall broke apart to the side. “Oh my goodness” Sapphire said, who’s eyes widened at this sight. “Alright, I need to go shopping for myself, Fred, George and Percy, Ron, Ginny and Sapphire are your responsibility.” Mrs Weasley said, nodding at each of her children as she says their name. “The girls need different things than Ron, since we have hand-me-downs. So you take the girls, I’ll take Ron? Percy suggested. Everyone agreed and Fred and George took Sapphire and Ginny to Flourish and Blotts, the bookstore and told them “We need different books than you two and Ginny knows her way around by now, as she has come shopping with us every year, so meet us here when you have all your books” The girls agreed and looked at their book lists

“Oh! I see the first book on the list” Sapphire exclaimed, turning around to grab the book “Oh I’m sorry! You take it, I’m sure they have more in the back” she said as a boy with jet black hair, bright green eyes and circular black glasses stuck together with lots and lots of sellotape tried to grab the same book that just so happens to be the last one. “Oh, thanks! I’m sure they do” the boy replied. “Are you starting Hogwarts this year too?” Ginny walks away, leaving Sapphire and the boy to their conversation “Yeah, I’m Harry by the way, Harry Potter” “Sorry, I didn’t catch that?” She heard him correctly, but she thought she misheard him “That’s alright, Harry, Harry Potter” “Oh my god! Ginny get over here! NOW” “What Sapphire?” Ginny called over “I’d say you’re very confused Harry, I’m Sapphire, Sapphire Potter” “Sapphire, is this who I think this is? Ginny said, trying to make sense of everything. “Ginny, this is Harry Potter” “We’re siblings” Harry and Sapphire said at the same time. “Oh my god McGonagall said in the next couple years!” Harry exclaimed. “She said the same to me” “I’ll leave you two get to know eachother” Ginny laughed, walking away again “This is crazy! I was told to keep an eye out for a scar matching mine but I can’t see your forehead” It’s only now that Sapphire realises that Harry has a scar that matches hers. “Oh! Well I do.” She replied, lifting up her fringe. “Were you told how you got you got the scar?” Harry asked “I was told a lie, that I got it in a car crash that killed our parents” Sapphire replied “I was told it was from a fire, I still don’t know how I’d get a cut from a fire” “I don’t know either” “My brothers will kill me if I take any longer, I’m sorry, I’ll see you at Hogwarts” Sapphire said, as she saw her brothers mocking her, obviously thinking that she has a crush on him. “That’s alright, Bye!” Harry called. “Ooh!” said Fred and George when she walked over to them. “Who’s he?” Sapphire rolled her eyes at this. “My brother, for your information” “Your brother? Also you need to explain the whole Sapphire Potter situation” “Fine, when I got my letter, there was a second letter inside it, actually, here it is!” Sapphire realised that the letter was still in her pocket from when she showed it to her mum that morning. She handed them the letter “That should explain it better than I can. The boys read the letter five times over “Well what do you know our sister’s famous!” Fred exclaimed. Sapphire laughed at this. “Ok, now I really need to go get my books” After the girls, Fred and George got their books they met up with Ron and Percy to go get wands and robes.
