" CLARY. CLARA. CLARE. CLARISSA. "
Rudely awoken from her peaceful sleep, the fifteen year old witch grumbled as she hit, whoever woke her up with a pillow. She didn't want to get up. Clarissa opened her eyes from her beauty sleep to see George Weasley standing over her, with a childish grin on his face. As much as she loved George, she seriously wanted to kick him right now. But instead of kicking him, she sadly and very slowly got up before slapping the taller boy in the back of the head.
" OUCH! Clarissa! " The redheaded boy whined as he gave her a sad face. " What was that for? " The ginger asked his brunette friend, now awoken by George's dramatic screams. George glared softly at her, his eyes still soft towards her.
" That's what you get for waking me up like that. " Clarissa said to the boy with a pointed look. Clarissa then noticed the absence of the other redhead. " Where's Freddie? " Clarissa asked even though she was pretty sure she knew the answer to that. Noticing George's expression, he was about to speak, Clarissa shook her head. " Don't answer that George. I'm pretty sure I know. " The girl said with a laugh. But before he could say anything else, Clarissa spoke again. " Right, Georgie out. I need to change. " Clarissa said with a slight laugh as she shoved him out of Ginny's room.
Turning after he was gone, and shutting the door, Clarissa grabbed her clothes and quickly changed into them as quick as she could. At least she wasn't making them late. It was a good call on Molly. For waking her up earlier than Ginny and Hermione who both slept very heavily, so they didn't hear George and hers discussion. Clarissa, always the Irish, threw on a pair of green skinny jeans, a green tee-shirt, and the final touch of her green converse and her glasses. Once she was finished, Clarissa walked out of Ginny's room and walked down for breakfast, but truth was, she wasn't hungry. She was too excited for the match actually.
" Clarissa, dear, could you yell for the others to wake up now? " Clarissa turned to Molly as she had asked that of the dark haired girl. Clarissa nodded towards Molly as she ran towards the stairs and started with George and Fred's room, neither we're in there. Which usually meant Fred was with Proserpina and George was being an ass and following them. Clarissa checked every room to make sure everyone was up. She had finally found George, Fred and Proserpina talking down stairs. They must have slipped past her.
" Are you excited, Clarissa? " The bushy haired brunette teased her Slytherin friend about her obsession over Quidditch. Once Flint is gone, there we're rumors that she would be Team Captain. Laughing at Hermione, Clarissa nodded, she was now eating something that Molly had fixed, as she knew she would be forced to eat no matter how much she pleaded to go. The food tasted like Lauren's food, and that was something. Lauren made amazing food for Clarissa and it made her miss her even more.
Lauren was away on a business trip which left Clarissa with the Weasley Family. As much as Clarissa loved the Weasley's, she really missed Lauren. She stopped eating for a second and smiled at the fond memories she had many years ago with Lauren. Clarissa soon finished her food as Arthur Weasley came in to announce that it was time to go. Sadly, Ron and Harry weren't down yet. So luckily, Hermione went up instead of Clarissa.
Once everyone was done, Clarissa and the other Weasley's followed after Arthur Weasley to Merlin knows where. Clarissa stood by Hermione and Proserpina and the three girls with giggling about something. This definitely didn't go unnoticed by the Weasley Twins. They were definitely talking about something that they didn't want the boys to know. Usually that was boys again. And that was indeed the topic of the conversation.
" Oh come on, Clary! " Clarissa heard Hermione's protests. " Its pretty obvious, he obviously likes you. " Hermione kept on about this mystery boy. Clarissa just shook her head and before anyone could finish that conversation, the big group of Weasley's stopped. They had stopped to where they saw a man. She was zoning out for most of it but she kind of heard.
" This, is Amos Diggory. " That definitely got Clarissa's attention. That received giggles from Hermione, Ginny, and Proserpina. Clarissa rolled her eyes before she jumped back, a little started as said boy hopped down from the trees. It was obvious that Clarissa didn't expect to see him. It was in her eyes. All she could do, is look at him with a shocked expression. There was definitely one person who didn't seem fond of this.
" Merlin's Beard, Harry Potter " Clarissa internally face palmed as poor Harry had to go through the whole Boy Who Lived Scandal. Clarissa just shook her head at her friend as she began to walk to the portkey with Cedric behind her.
" Hunter! "
Clarissa heard the sound of her name being called. She turned to the speaker and grinned at the older, and much taller boy. " Diggory! " Clarissa mocked the same enthusiastic fine that Cedric Diggory had used with her name. Clarissa grinned childishly as she followed the rest of the group towards the portkey. " I never understood these things. " Clarissa said in a slight whisper to Prosepina.
" Its not about understanding them, Hunter. Its about using them. " Cedric, who had heard the females talking, whispered in Clarissa's ear, leaving slight shivers go down her back. It was definitely not a secret between Proserpina, Clarissa, Ginny, and Hermione that Clarissa held a crush on the Golden Boy of Hogwarts. It was definitely obvious as Clarissa turned around, hearing her friends giggles at the pair.
Tucking a strand of long dark hair behind her ears, Clarissa looked at Cedric with a light blush over her pale cheeks. Clarissa rolled her eyes at the male and sped up a little to catch up with Fred and George. Fred and George were practically her best friends. Other than the girls of course, but she didn't feel like going to the Quidditch Cup with a red face because of Diggory. So she stuck with messing with the twins.
Approaching the portkey, Clarissa heard Harry question the twins. Something about the manky old boot, Clarissa spoke at the same time that Fred did, " Its not just any manky old boot, its a portkey " Clarissa laughed softly, causing Cedric to glance her way, before laying on the ground, touching the boot, waiting to be taken on to the World Cup.
Before the portkey started to move, Cedric had caught the girl's eye causing her to look away and look towards George instead. George didn't let this go unnoticed. He didn't meet the female's eye, causing Clarissa to huff and look towards the boot, before they found themselves at the quidditch world cup.
Suddenly the female felt a rush of exhaustion. Finally it was catching up to her. She had stayed up most of the previous night reading up on her quidditch. She was quite enthralled with the sports. She loved playing. She yawned before she watched as Cedric walked in one direction, not noticing his father hadn't moved.
" Say, Arthur." Amos Diggory now spoke to the eldest redhead of the group. " I don't suppose you would let me take one of these children off of your hands. " Amos looked at Clarissa, who at that moment, was too busy talking to Ginny about different things.
" I don't know Amos. Molly would kill me if I let one of them out of my sight " Arthur spoke with a bit of ill humor. " But just this once because its the world cup. " Arthur said before Amos spoke again, this time directly towards Clarissa.
" Miss Hunter. Ive heard so much about you. " Amos started before looking around first Cedric who had been waiting a few feet ahead. " Ive got an extra ticket, you're welcome to join me and Cedric for the match. " Amos said smiling at the brunette. Clarissa looked to her friends and Mr. Weasley before most of them nodded and urged her ti go on.
" I guess so. Sure. " Clarissa said with a small smile. " I'm honored you would ask. " Clarissa said smiling softly as she followed Amos towards the other boy.
" Ced! " Amos spoke up. " Because you've told me all about Clarissa, I've invited her to stay with us during the match. I would love to get to know her. After all you've told me about her. " This caused Clarissa to blush a little and look up at the taller boy with a small smile on her face.
After a while of walking, Cedric, Amos, and Clarissa all entered a tent before the match. Amos allowed Clarissa and Cedric do a little bit of wandering around before the match, which made Clarissa a little nervous. She hadn't ever really gotten to talk to Cedric one on one and it made her nervous. Clarissa shook there's thoughts away and walked out of the tent with Cedric behind her.
" So, Clary - " Cedric started but was then cut off by Clarissa. It was the first time that anyone had used that name since forever.
" Don't call me that. " Clarissa snapped harshly. It gave her terrible memories of the girls she had gone to primary school with before she found out she was a wizard. " Sorry. " Clarissa mumbled, not meaning to use such a harsh tone towards the boy.
For the rest of the time they were together, Cedric and Clarissa stayed pretty quiet until it was time for the match to begin. Cedric, Amos, and Clarissa all made their way to the match excited but also nervous. Clarissa couldn't help but grin as she passed the Weasley's on the way towards their seats. Clarissa rolled her eyes at Prosepina and Ginny's smirks.
During the match, Clarissa couldn't help but notice how Cedric kept moving closer towards her until he was standing right next to her, shoulders touching. Clarissa turned around to look at the male before a slight blush covered her cheeks. She shook her head and buried her head in the male's should so he wouldn't see the blush covering her pale cheeks. This got a laugh out of the male.
" Hey, Clarissa. You're gonna miss the team mascots if you don't move your head off of my shoulder " Cedric said to the girl with a slight smirk on his face. Clarissa rolled her eyes and moved her head before making a childish face towards him before watching the team mascots.
The leprechauns and veela were boring to Clarissa. She rolled her eyes at Cedric being infatuated by the veela and she slapped the older boy in the back of the head with her hand. " Ouch, Clarissa! What the hell?! " Cedric exclaimed, earning a chuckle from Amos Diggory as well as a smirk from Clarissa before the girl spoke and the pair started to argue before the match.
" You two, the match is about to begin "
