A snake was crawling through the undergrowth.

An old man lights a gas oven with a match, he is preparing food. He notices a light on in the large house opposite, he stops what he's doing and walks to the door.

"Bloody kids." He leaves the house and heads towards the light.

The old man is wandering up to the house carrying a lit torch. He opens the front door, inside is just as dark. He begins climbing the stairs, we hear whispers and hushed voices coming from upstairs. The old man waits outside the room where the conversation is taking place and listens on.

"Oh no no no my Lord Voldemort. I only meant... perhaps if we were to do it without the boy.." Peter spoke.

"NO! The boy is everything, it cannot be done without him and it WILL be done exactly as I say." Someone says from somewhere you can't see.

"I will not disappoint you my lord." An unknown man spoke.

"Good. First, gather our old comrades. Send them a sign." A snake slithers past the old man and into the room. "Nagini tells me the old caretaker is standing outside the door." Peter stands in the doorway and looks at the old man. The old man looks terrified. "Step aside so I can give our guest a proper greeting." 

A loud spell is cast and, I wake up in a flash of panic.

"Harry!" I was flustered and still panicking, looking at Hermione, confused. "Are you alright?"

"Hermione. Bad dream. When did you get here?"

"Just now. You?"

"Last night." I mumble. Hermione goes over to Ron's bed.

"Wake up. Wake up Ron, ld!" Hermione spoke as she smacked his arm.

"Bloody hell." Ron groaned.

"Honestly. Get dressed, and don't go back to sleep. Come on Ron,  Your mother says breakfast's ready."

Hermione left the room while Ron rolled his eyes and adjusted himself back on his bed, going back to sleep. I rubbed my eyes and started getting dressed. Once I was done, I woke up Ron, just as his father came up to wake us again.

We didn't get much of a meal since we woke up late. We ended up leaving a few minutes after we got out of bed. We were walking through the woods past Ron's house.

"Where are we actually going?" I whisper to Ron.

"Don't know. Hey Dad! Where are we going?" Ron shouted.

"Haven't the foggiest, keep up!" He shouted.

"Arthur! It's about time son, " A random guy spoke as he came around a giant tree.

"Sorry, Amos. Some of us had a bit of a sleepy start. This is Amos Diggory everyone, he works with me at the ministry. And this strapping young lad must be Cedric, am I right?" Arthur spoke with a smile.

"Yes, sir." Cedric smiled and shook Arthurs hand. I recognized him from school. He was gorgeous.

"Merlin's beard, you must be Harry Potter." I got snapped out of my trance by Amos speaking.

"Yes, sir." I say with a smile, moving my eyes from Cedric to his father.

"This way." Arthur shouted as he led the group.

"Great great pleasure." Amos says with a smile as we shake hands.

"Pleasure to meet you too, sir." I smile.

We walk on up the hill and meet with Arthur.

"That's it, just over there." Arthur shouted as he pointed up the hill.

"Shall we? We don't want to be late."

As we wall up, I see on a boot on top of the hillside.

"Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?" I asked as Cedric, Arthur, and Amos stand at the boot.

"That isn't just any old manky boot, mate." Fred smiled.

"It's a portkey." George explained.

Everyone is in a circle putting their hands on the boot.

"Time to go. Ready?" Amos asks.

"What's a 'portkey'?" I asked.

I looked around. No one seemed to have heard me.

"After 3. One... Two..." Amos started.

"Harry!" Arthur shouted at me.

I quickly rush over and put my hand on the boot.

"Three!"

There's a white flash, and suddenly, they're all flying through the air. Everyone cheers.

"Let go kids!"

"What??" Hermione shouted.

"Let! Go!" Me, Hermione and the Weasley siblings crash to the ground with a thump. Arthur, Amos and Cedric come down more gracefully. "I bet that cleared your sinuses eh?"

Cedric helped me to my feet. "Thanks." I saw in awe as I felt how soft his hands were. How gorgeous he was up close.

We walk across the field and we see there's a massive crowd gathered and cheering, tents are set up all over.

"Well kids, welcome to the Quidditch World Cup!"

We walk into the crowd, taking in the sights. Music is playing, and people fly about overhead on brooms. We approach a small tent.

"Parting of the waves I think old chap, see you at the match." Amos says to Arthur as we see our tent.

Amos and Cedric separate and walk off.

"See ya later Cedric." I mumble.

"Home sweet home." Arthur says as he looks at the tent.

We enter the tent. The inside is many times bigger than the outside.

"Girls. Choose a bunk and unpack. Ron, get out of the kitchen we're all hungry." Arthur shouted.

"Yeah get out of the kitchen Ron." The twins echoed.

"Feet off the table." Arthur shouted to the twins.

"Feet off the table." They echoed, again. They take their feet off the table and put them back on as soon as Arthur has walked past.

Smiling, I mumble to myself. "I love magic."

Once we were set, we walked to the stadium to watch the game. We started walking up the stairs. It was so long, not just the stairs but the walk to the stadium. It was up on the hillside and seemed to have a huge number of floors. More than any I've seen in the muggle world.

We were walking to find out seat when Ron started to complain.

"Blimey Dad, how far up ARE we?"

Lucius Malfoy and Draco are walking below us. I looked at them and then quickly looked away.

"Well put it this way, if it rains... you'll be the first to know." Lucius spoke with a smirk.

"Father and I are in the minister's box, by personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself." Draco bragged.

Lucius shouved his walking stick into Draco’s stomach. Draco grunted and looked up at me.

"Don't boast Draco. There's no need with these people." As we turn to walk off, Lucius grabbed my hand with his walking stick head. The snake fags gripping my hand. "Do enjoy yourself, won't you. While you can." Lucius smirked.

The ceremonies begin. Balloons fly and fireworks go off.

"Come on up, take your seats. I told you these seats would be worth waiting for."
