Chapter 3

When George returned, he had a water bottle and a bottle of Coca-Cola. They then walked around until they found a game Helena wanted to play. Water guns. George paid for them and they both took seats on the stools. Nobody else was playing so Helena was going to whoop George's butt.

The man at the game counted down, then the game began. George fumbled with his gun a moment, giving Helena a head start. Their figurines rose up as they held their guns to the targets. Up and up they went until one got to the top. It was Helena's. She was so excited that she fell from her stool. George was immediately there to help her up.

"Any prize ye' want miss," the man told her.

"Um, I'll take the... dragon. The one with the black wings."

The man plucked the dragon she spoke of and handed it to her.

"Enjoy the rest of the festival," he called as the walked away.

"Same to you sir," George yelled over his shoulder.

When the booth was out of site, George had to ask. "Where did you learn to play like that? Here I was thinking your awkward- adorableness was all that was amazing about you... besides everything."

"It's natural. I've always been good at it, I guess," she answered giggling. George hugged her tightly and they continued on their way.

Helena and George spent all day at the muggle festival. They ate and played more games. At one dart throwing, George won a teddy bear, which he gave to his opponent: a little girl. The child looked no older than ten years old, wearing a pink dress and matching pink shoes. She looked adorable. Helena laughed as George admitted that he had almost lost and when he returned, Helena kissed him.

George also convinced Helena to try a deep-fried Oreo. It was an Oreo wrapped in dough and deep-fried, then sprinkled in powdered sugar. Helena had resisted until he promised that if she ate it, he'd get them an Elephant Ear. George smiled when she admitted that it was actually pretty good.
