Harry Potter-A Legacy Reborn

Pranks - Sapphire

Raven continued to look at my bloodshot eyes. I could tell she was concerned. I didn't need her sympathy, the Ravenclaw's would just make fun of it again. She was about to walk over to me when the flying teacher started talking

"Ok now pay attention everyone" Raven gave me one last look but I looked away from her again. I heard her sigh. "Everyone stand next to a broom" I purposely stood at a broom far away from Dolly, Izzy and Raven. I could tell Raven tried to get a broom close to me but she failed and had to get one at the other side of the field. "Now stick your hand over your broom and shout 'up'". We all did as we where told. I looked over at Raven. She got her broom up on the first try.

"Up" I mumbled to my broom. It didn't move an inch. I sighed. I was usually good at this, I used to do this with my dads broom all the time, but my emotions must be affecting me. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate. "Up!" I said again. This time the broom came flying into my hand. I smiled. I cold feel parts of my hair turning yellow but the majority of it was still blue. I looked over and saw Dolly getting flustered because her broom wouldn't move. Izzy was slowly, but surely, raising her broom.

Finally the teacher said "Now if you haven't managed to get your broom up just pick it up" people obeyed looking annoyed. "Now put one leg over your broom and mount it" I did as she instructed. Before she said anything else I brought out my wand - Dragon heartstring core 9 ¾" and Solid flexibility - and pointed it at myself. I mumbled a spell under my breath before putting my wand away. Raven noticed and gave me a weird look but I ignored her. "When i blow my whistle I want you to lift off, hover for a few seconds, then come back down. She blew her whistle and everyone did as we where told. Dolly fell off her broom, but she wasn't hurt. I smiled at her and she grinned. A few other people where wobbly and some people where born naturals. I was somewhere in between. When I first got off the ground I wobbled at around, but when I got the hang of it I was fine. I landed back on the ground with a grin. The teacher nodded.

"Very good some of you. I can see a few of you joining your house Quiddich team in the future". She came around and gave individual people feedback. She got to me and smiled. "You've got good form. You'll be an excellent Quiddich player. All you need is confidence" I smiled

"Thank you professor". After she gave us all our advice she let the people who where good at flying a chance to fly around. I mounted my broom and kicked off along with the others. Raven then flew over to me. I tried to avoid her but to no avail.

"What happened?" She asked. By now my puffy eyes had gone away, but they where still slightly bloodshot. My hair hasn't changed from blue.

"I'm fine" I mumbled trying to fly away from her, but she blocked my path.

"Obviously there is something wrong. Your hair is blue"

"It doesn't matter ok" I told her

"Just tell me what's wrong!" She demanded

"Please just leave me alone!" The teacher blew her whistle signalling that it was time for us to land. I flew down and landed on the grass. Everyone was starting to head to lunch. I handed the teacher my broom and walked away. I could hear Raven shouting my name but I ignored her. I walked to the Hufflepuff table. I didn't eat much, just something small. I was walking toward my common room when someone crashed into me. I fell to the ground because of the impact. I looked up to see it was Sirius, the boys from the train.

"Sorry!" Sirius said to me, helping me up. I smiles and my hair turned to yellow. "HEY! You're that that metamorphmagus we met on the train" I nodded "Jade right?" He said "No... Amber? Or was it Emerald?" I giggled

"Sapphire" I reminded him

"Sorry Sapphire" he chuckled. Then he gave a mischievous smile. "Hey, you want to help me with a prank. James says he can't because he's 'head boy' and Remus and Peter are studying. I need a pranking buddy". I stopped and hesitated.

"What if we get caught. Well get into serious trouble" he grinned

"We won't get caught" I signed. I knew the guilt would probably kill me... but it was a harmless prank. What could go wrong. I nodded. Sirius grinned.

"Great! I have a prank all planned out. All we need is a victim. Any ideas?" I thought for a bit then smiled.

"I have someone in mind"

10 minutes later

Sirius and I hid behind a door, the library in perfect view. Our victim? Jackie Surola. Sure I was forgiving and the guilt of doing this would probably kill me later on, and chances are I'll probably go to a teacher and tell them the whole prank was my idea, but for now I didn't care. It was time to bring his ego down a notch. I had heard Jackie say to his friends he was going to the library at lunch to get his homework done. Sirius had set a pot of multi-colour paint at the top of the library. Now all we had to do was wait. Jackie came to right on time. He walked under the library door. Sirius flicked his wand and the paint poured all over him. He yelled and we ran. I started laughing. We didn't stop running until we reached an abandoned corridor. He grinned at me as I sat down, out of breath. "Not bad Sapphire. You could become a pranker yourself at this rate. I just smiled.
