While doing photography on the sidelines, Sabina eventually became a professional Quidditch player. Her Beater position tended to elicit snide remarks for those who had not seen her play - "Love, you should be at a modeling agency, not on a Quidditch field." - but she put them in their places soon enough with a sweet smile and a smack of a bat. Her demeanor tended to throw people off, as she had inherited her mother's lovely looks and her father's mild attitude. The Ballycastle Bats was the Quidditch team that Sabine eventually turned into her second family.

The Quidditch World Cup was a new experience to Sab. Things started out rocky with the Bats barely winning against the Australians, and the redhead Beater was almost certain they could not hold against their next opponents - either the Germans or the Americans. Midway, she managed to find time for some past-sharing with Aerich, and became part of a new fan ship after a wrongly misunderstood talk between her and Puddlemere Chaser Hunter Smith. When the Harriers were kicked out of the running, doubts soared higher than ever. Unbelievably enough, her team managed to get through the semis, allowing them to compete in the finals against the Harpies. Epic smackdowns occurred with the ending of the QWC, and though the Bats only took second, Sab was still quite content with the Harpy injuries.

After all the drama and all the barfights (and RicSel. God that ship was involved with everything), Sab remained a Bat for the upcoming British and Irish League. Unsurprisingly, she was more wary of more upcoming drama than any fatal injuries. Many changes took place, even in her own team, with Keevaswitching from Keeper to Seeker and former Harrier Gilbert Schweinsteiger joining them. Her good acquaintance/friend, Julchen Beilschmidt, transferred to the Harpies, though Sab did not look forward to having to play against her. The "Sleming" ship continued to follow her around while she debated getting an actual apartment in Britain instead of going back to France every time.

Caitríona Ó Cléirigh, an old schoolmate, joined as a Chaser, and she and Sabina rented an apartment together. The team did poorly, as sad was Sabina to admit, during that league. They more or less were near the bottom of the rankings, and so spirits were low. Paparazzi continued to hound them, but nothing really came out of the Sleming flirtations. When Smith turned up death shortly after the end of the season, that sure was a shocker. While the media had a bit of a field day with that, a certain redhead was annoyed at their insensitivity.

More disaster struck when Keeva came to her and miserably reported that she had gotten pregnant from a one-night stand, much to Sabina's horror. Keeva, however, did not tell Margo, which led to complications...and Kargo broke up not soon after. When the next league came up, Sabina couldn't curb her guilt and switched teams, still believing she should've done something. Events spiraled down even further when Keeva died from childbirth and Margo presumably died.

Depression clawed away at both Sabina and Cait during those dreadful months. Just as things began perking up again, what else could happen but a very much alive Margo popping back into their lives?
