Chapter 2
I followed Dumbledore to the Gryffindor commons room. When I entered I felt everyone watching me like I was going to attack them at any time. When I got up to the dormitory I, Fred, and George were the only ones in there. Fred sat down on his bed and looked at me as I settled down on my own.
" Man, who would ever think you and Quirrell were related. That is crazy." Fred said. I laughed and then answered.
" I know it is so weird. To think I am related to him." I said. I heard a screech and looked at the window. A large white owl with a gray stripe down it's back.
" Streak. There you are." I said. Streak landed on my bed and I grabbed a letter and tore it open.
" What is it," George asked. I shrugged my shoulders then pulled out the letter. It flew into the air and started talking.
" Dear Sapphira, I have agreed to join your father. Please don't be to mad about it. I know you must have at least a friend who's parents will take you in. I have already spoken to Albus Dumbledore and as a last resort my brother could take you in." The letter said. It then ripped it's self up. I looked over at Fred in worry. Streak flew out the window tworads the Owlery.
" What am I going to do," I said. Fred and George both stood up and walked over to me.
" Well you know, Mum might take you in," Fred said.
" You think she would. " I asked. Fred nodded then grabbed a piece of parchment and started writing. When he finished a gray owl took it and flew off. I lay back down and shut the lights out.
" Good night," I said before falling asleep. When I woke p the next day, Fred and George were standing over me with an envelope. I rubbed my eyes and stood up looking at them.
" All right what is it," I asked. Fred ripped the envelope and a wrinkled letter flew out.
" Dear Fred and George,
First of all, you better be doing your hardest. Second I am so sorry the poor girl got abandoned and third of all I talked to your father and we have both agreed to take Sapphira in. We have not talked to Dumbledore about it though. So could you tell him? Can't wait to see you three, Ron, and Percy in two days.
Love, Molly, and Arthur Weasley. " The letter said. Fred then grabbed it and grinned.
" Looks like you have a new family. We better go tell Dumbledore, come on Sapphira." Fred said. I pulled a robe over my pajamas and walked out of the Gryffindor common room. I followed the twins over to a large brass statue of a Griffin. Fred walked up to it.
" Pepper Imp," Fred said. The statue turned and revealed a spiral staircase. All three of us walked up till we got to a large door. George pushed it open and we walked in.
" Hello, Dumbledore," Fred said. I heard whispering and turned to Fred.
" Someone is whispering over there," I told him. He looked at me strangely.
" How can you hear that," Fred asked.
" I am an Animorph remember. " I said. He nodded and we walked over to the corner. Standing there were Quirrell, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall. We ducked behind a tall cabinet and listened to their conversation.
" We can't have her here she will end of attacking us. You heard what her mother has done, it can't be too long before she either changes over or betrays us." Quirrell said. McGonagall shook her head.
" We have to give her a chance, we gave Selena a chance..." McGonagall said. But Snape interrupted her.
" And look at what she did not only betray her own brother but has also joined Voldemort's army," Snape said. Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.
" She will not be going anywhere but here. We just have to find a family who will take her in" Dumbledore said.
" But who will take her in. Almost everyone is afraid or don't trust her." Quirrell said. Fred and George stood up and walked up to them.
" We do," Fred said. Quirrell looked surprised and Dumbledore looked happy. I stood up and walked next to Fred. Quirrell took a step back.
" Did your parents say she could live with you," McGonagall asked. Fred grabbed the envelope out of his pocket and released the letter.
"Dear Fred and George,
First of all, you better be doing your hardest. Second I am so sorry the poor girl got abandoned and third of all I talked to your father and we have both agreed to take Sapphira in. We have not talked to Dumbledore about it though. So could you tell him? Can't wait to see you three, Ron, and Percy in two days.
Love, Molly, and Arthur Weasley. " The letter said. Dumbledore looked satisfied.
" Ok, then you are a part of their family. Now, Fred and George, you need to get to Quidditch practice. Sapphira go do whatever you want." Dumbledore said. I nodded and followed Fred and George out to the Quidditch field. I sat in the stands and watched as Fred and George were beating up a bludger. Fred then flew next to me on his broom.
" Hey, you think you could practice as a seeker. We don't have one." Fred asked. I nodded and grabbed a school broom from the closet. I mounted it and started to fly out and join the team. I instantly recognized Oliver Wood. He looked down at me.
" Sapphira what are you doing here. " Wood asked.
" She will be our practice seeker," Fred said. Wood nodded.
" Okay then. Know Sapphira, as a seeker the only ball you worry about is that little golden ball down there once George releases it." Wood said. I nodded and Wood told George to release the Snitch. It flew into the air and I watched it.
" When I count to one go after it and chase it. But beware the bludger might get yeah. Okay, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one go." Wood said. I zipped after the little gold ball. I followed it's every move then stretched my hand out and grabbed it. The wings folded and I held it. Everyone on the team looked amazed even Wood. I landed on the ground and placed the ball back into the box. Wood walked up to me.
" Welcome to the Gryffindor Quidditch team. We know have a seeker again. And a fast one. Practice dismissed." Wood said. I look at Fred and then at George. They smiled and clapped their hands.
" Well done, Sapphira. Ten seconds flat and the Snitch was in your hand. Wow," George said. I nodded and went to put my broom back in the cabinet along with the rest of the team. Wood placed his broom down then walked up to me.
" We need to ask Professor McGonagall for a Seeker outfit for you. And we have a match tomorrow against Hufflepuff. Their Seeker Cedric Diggory is a very good Seeker. " Wood said. I nodded and then walked across the field and into the castle. When I entered, Draco walked up to me.
" Congrats on becoming the Seeker for Gryffindor," Draco said. I smiled and nodded.
