The Challenge

Chapter 32

Dear Sapphire,
 How are things? I miss you! When can you come and visit again? How about a date soon? ;) How are things at the Potter's? Anyone giving you a hard time? James Potter? I will punch his face in. How's that list going? Anyways, I love you. 
-Tom S.

Dear Tom, 
 Everything's fine. I kinda got disowned... They went to the Potter's a little after I came back from your place. They freaked out about how I didn't visit them for Christmas. Then things were said, I yelled at them, they yelled at me. Draco got pissed off and said I'm no longer his daughter. Astoria agreed. All of my things are here with the Potters. I need to find a place to live after graduation. A date sounds nice. Maybe next week? Things at the Potter's are fine. I like it here. James isn't much of a problem. We usually stay away from each other. The list? Eh, I'm almost done with it. Just a few more then it's done and over with. I love you too.

 I didn't put 'M' at the end. Am I last nameless now? Whatever. I fold up the letter and give it to Tom's bird. "Take this back to Tom." He hoots and flies out of the window. I’m kinda in the mood for popcorn, butterbeer, and movies. I go to Fred’s room to see him and Val laughing and messing around with some pranking supplies and candy. I decide to leave them alone for now.
 I go to Rox’s room, but she wasn’t in there. I go downstairs and into the living room where Albus, Rose, Hugo, James and Rox were playing a muggle board game. While Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking. I sit down on Rox’s lap. She groans, “why are you sitting on my lap?”
 “I’m bored. I want to watch some movies.” I tell her.
 “Then go watcher movies.” Rox pushes me off of her. “The Potter’s have a whole movie room.”
 My jaw drops, “What?! They have a movie room and I didn’t know about it?”
 Harry speaks up, “you can go and watch some movies there, Sapphire. It’s on the top floor, last door on your right. There’s a popcorn maker in there, muggle movies - old and new - some sweets and drinks.”
 I bite my lip, “you guys are amazing. Thank you!” I smile and run upstairs. I change into something comfortable. ( www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=11635... ) I go to the movie room and oh my Merlin. This is amazing. The screen is as big as the wall. The other side of the room was filled with sweets, snacks, drinks, a popcorn maker. The Potters are so rich, holy Merlin’s saggy butt cheek. I mean, my family is rich… My ex family is rich. Me? I have money. More than half of it is Draco’s and Astoria’s. 
 I make a small bucket of popcorn. I pick up a small pad with a screen. I touch the middle of the screen and it turned on. “Bloody hell.” It’s like a mini telly that you can touch and hold. I touch the small box that says ‘movies’. A bunch of movies fills the screen. I need one of these. I press the movie that says, ‘The Cabin in the Woods’. The huge screen turns on. “Dang…” I say in shock and examine the small pad. 
 “You look like you’ve never seen an ipad before.”
 I look up and see James. “An ipad?” 
 “It’s a muggle device.” James takes it from me and puts it back on the counter. “Cabin in the woods. Never seen it.” He grabs a small box and fills it with popcorn and sits down on one of the couches. “You just going to stand there?” I grab my popcorn and a bottle of butterbeer. “Grab a butterbeer for me, yeah?”
 “You have legs, use them.” I sit down on the couch diagonal to James. I put my feet up and toss some popcorn into my mouth. Albus, Rose, Lily, Rox, Hugo, Fred, and Val walks in and joins us. Albus sits with me and puts his legs on top of mine. Um. Excuse me, boy.” I push his legs off of me. 
 “Excuse you,” Albus mocks and sits on me.
 “You prat,” I laugh and push him off of me and he falls onto the floor.
 “Jerk.” Albus groans.
 “Quit flirting, the moving is going to start.” James growls.
 Albus looks at me, “he fancies you.”
 “I do not!” James growls.
 I roll my eyes, “shut up, Albus.”
 “I’m just saying.” Albus smiles and sits up, then leans on the couch I’m on.

 
 Dear Sapphire,
 What?! You got disowned? You can stay with me after graduation. We can find our own place. Maybe a flat in Diagon alley, maybe in the muggle world. A small house? ;) It’s a date. Maybe a movie night and pig out on sweets? My parents can get us some sweets. I love you.
