Harry was shaken awake by Hermione. He didn't know what the hell was happening but she kept shaking him.

"I'm awake! I'm awake Hermione," he said groggily to make the girl stop.

"Ronald," he heard her say. "Ronald!" Ron shot up and looked around disoriented. "Get up and get dressed."

Hermione walked out of the room and the two boys stood up. It was dark outside and the sun hadn't come up yet. Both Harry and Ron stared at each other. They both then started to get dressed simultaneously.

"I'm going to brush my teeth," Ron said walking out of the room with a shirt and jacket on. He was still wearing his pajama pants. Harry put on some jeans, a red shirt and a black hoodie over it. He walked out of the room and went to the bathroom as well. He took his toothbrush that Mrs. Wealsey gave him and brushed his teeth. When he was done he walked back to Ron's room and saw that the other boy was dressed already.

"Are you excited?" Ron asked the boy. Harry nodded and walked to his trunk. He pulled out his wand and a few other essential things. Once they were done the two boys walked downstairs and they saw Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen while everyone else was in the living room.

"Alright boys, I'm going to count heads," Mr. Weasley said. "Fred, George, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry." Everyone kind of murmured in agreement. Everyone was exhausted. Except for Hermione. She was reading a book. "Alright Molly, we're gonna go now."

Mrs. Weasley kissed Mr. Weasley and then kissed all of her children on their cheeks much to Fred, George and Ron's disliking. She then walked to Harry, hugged him and kissed him on his cheek. His heart felt fluttery and he smiled. She kissed Hermione too and then waved everyone goodbye. "Fred! George! Behave or you'll be staying with me and you won't ever leave this house again!"

"Not even for Hogwarts?" George asked.

"Not even for Hogwarts!" she yelled back. Everyone smiled and they continued walking.

The seven started to walk down the lane. "Are you two excited?" Hermione asked Ron and Harry.

"Absolutely!" Ron said ecstatically. "I've never been to an actual Quidditch game. Of course I've been to the ones at Hogwarts but not a real one."

"So how was the season?" Harry asked, trying to get some insight.

"Of course you wouldn't know," Ron said, slapping his head. "Sorry I didn't tell you. The first game of the season was with Ireland and Wales. Wales put up a good fight and they were winning but Ireland caught the snitch and they won. Then Chad played against Japan and Chad absolutely demolished Japan. The next game wasn't very good. It was Norway against Poland and it was the worst game of the season 10-150. Norway only scored once and Poland didn't score at all. Thank god they found the snitch though."

Ron went on about the season. About how Spain beat Germany, Nigeria beat Jamaica, Fiji cheated Brazil ("only because the ref was on their side"), France won against New Zealand and Bulgaria beat the USA.

"And that was only the first round. The second round was when it got interesting," Ron said.

"Oh Ron this is getting quite boring. We've been hearing you talk about this since we left. The sun is now up," Hermione told the boy. Harry was so invested he never really noticed that the sun was rising. All he was doing was listening to his best friend.

"Oh sorry, I didn't realize," Ron said. "Hey dad how long do we have?"

"Not much further," Mr. Weasley said.

They continued their venture until they saw a tree. They started to climb up a hill to get to the tree. When they were at the tree Mr. Weasley stopped. Ginny fell onto the ground and laid down. "My legs are in immense pain," she told the band.

"Don't worry, we don't have much walking left to do," Mr. Weasley told them.

Harry sat down and so did Ron. They heard two shuffling feet come from the other side of the tree so the two of them turned around to see who it was.

It was Cedric Diggory standing right in front of him. Cedric had a smile and Harry couldn't think of anything but the smile. He remembered when Cedric had beat him last year in a Quidditch match

"Arthur!" a man yelled. "It's so good to see you!" The two men hugged. All of the children looked a bit weird.

"Oh where are my manners, kids this is Amos Diggory," Mr. Weasley said. "Amos these are my children."

"All of them!" Amos said, surprised.

"Only the redheads. That's my son Ron's friends. Hermione Granger and-"

"Harry Potter," Cedric told his father.

"Oh-oh," Amos said. "The Harry Potter."

"He's not a possession Amos," Arthur said, pushing Amos back. Amos was definitely trying to see Harry's scar. "Let's get on with it shall we. Children we're going to be getting to the Quidditch World Cup via Portkey. Get ready and everyone put your hand on this boot."

All nine of the people put their hands on the boot and waited. It was only a few seconds before Harry felt like he was being pulled by his navel. They kept swirling until Harry felt himself hit the ground. He heard many other thuds after his, five to be exact.

"Oh you guys aren't used to it," Mr. Weasley said. "Next time try to land on your feet."

"Could you give us a detailed lesson on that father," George said.

"Preferably one that goes on for hours," Fred added.

"You better hope I don't," Mr. Weasley said. Harry tried to stand up but realized his and Ron's legs were entangled.

Harry disentangled himself from Ron and got to his feet. They had arrived on what appeared to be a deserted stretch of misty moor. In front of them was a pair of tired and grumpy-looking wizards, one of whom was holding a large gold watch, the other a thick roll of parchment and a quill. Both were dressed as Muggles, though very inexpertly: The man with the watch wore a tweed suit with thigh-length galoshes; his colleague, a kilt and a poncho.

"Good morning, Basil," Mr. Weasley said. He picked up the boot and threw it into a box. The Weasleys got their living arrangements and so did the Diggorys. The Weasleys (with the addition of Harry and Hermione) set off toward a stretch of continued walking and then Harry was amazed by what he was seeing. Multiple tents, of multiple colors with so many different things. You would see a circular tent and then see a rectangular one right next to it. Some tents had many different colors (like the striped red and white one). Some were a solid color like the red one they had just passed.

Mr. Weasley led them through many tents and they reached a plot of land that was empty. "Alright, this is our land and we have to build our tent up."

"How are all of us going to sleep in this tent?" Hermione asked.

"Magic," Ginny whispered in Hermione's ear.

The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione all worked together in order to set up the tent. By the time the tent was set up Bill, Charlie and Percy had arrived. Everyone walked into the tent and it didn't look like a tent at all. It looked like an actual house. There were couches and a table in the back and there was a table and it was just crazy to Harry.

"Alright, Fred, George, Harry and Ron, you guys have one room. Hermione and Ginny you guys have the other room. Charlie and Percy have the other room and me and Bill will sleep in the living room," Mr. Weasleys.

The twins, Ron and Harry walked into their room and saw two sets of bunk beds.

"Do you want the top or bottom?" Ron asked Harry. Harry didn't know.

"I guess I'll take the bottom," Harry said. Harry walked over to the bottom bunk and he sat on it. Ron walked out of the room. "I'm really here," he thought aloud.

"Yes you are," George said. "And so are we." Him and Fred started to dance around the room.

"Hey Harry," Ron said, coming back into the room. "My dad wants us to go and get some water. C'mon."

Harry shot up and walked over to his friend. Hermione was standing right outside the door and the three of them walked out of the tent. So many wizards were everywhere it was magnificent. Harry had never been around so many wizards (besides at Hogwarts & Diagon Alley of course)

Ron led the way to get water and the other two followed him in amazement. They traversed through many tents and met many people.

"Ron? Harry! Hermione!" a voice shouted. The three looked around to see Dean Thomas standing only a few yards away from them.

"Dean?" Ron and Hermione said at the same time. "What are you doing here?" Ron asked.

"Yeah aren't you muggleborn," Hermione asked.

"Aren't you?" Dean asked. Hermione didn't say anything. "I'm with Seamus. He invited me."

"That must be nice," Hermione said. "Where is Seamus?"

"Inside the tent. Hey Seamus! Guess who's out here," Dean yelled in order for the boy to hear.

"Who?" Seamus asked coming out of the tent. He noticed the three and his mouth fell open. "Ron, Harry, Hermione," he said getting out and hugging the three of them. "What are you guys doing here?"

"I'm guessing we're here for the same reason you guys are," Ron said.

"Yeah I guess you guys are," Seamus said.

"Well we have to get going," Hermione said grabbing the two boys and making them follow. "It was nice seeing the two of you." They continued walking for a while before Hermione said, "It's so obvious."

"What's so obvious?" Harry asked. Harry noticed that both Ron and Hermione looked at each other.

"Nothing Harry, let's just get to this water."

They continued walking through the landscape until they made it to a line. Hermione tapped the last wizard in it and asked. "Is this where we're supposed to get the water."

"Yes it is," the wizard said. The three stood in the line for what felt like an entire hour before they were even able to get water.

"This took forever," Harry said annoyingly. He was ready to get back to the tent.

"Well by the time we get back to the tent the Cup should be close to starting," Ron said.

And he was right. When they got to the tent Mr. Weasley told the entire Weasley gang, Harry and Hermione that it was time to walk to the stadium. They followed the plethora of people also walking through the tents to the Stadium. Fred and George were jumping around with a couple of other wizards. Ginny was singing a type of song and Harry was in the middle of all of it. He loved it here.
