Hello my readers. Here we go again. A New Kind of Magic, Year 4. Just a few things you should know. This will be canon compliant mostly. Just a few twist and turns to make it more interesting lol. However, a reminder, slight Dumbledore and Ron bashing. A new character will be introduced. There is a reason why this is now considered a crossover. I'm borrowing a character from Twilight. It's not a person you would expect, trust me. But he is crucial to the story. Something new is, I will be having Moody teaching years 1-4, and the 'new' Twilight character teaching years 5-7. There will be personal growth in this year regarding my character Emerald, and Draco. None of my stories are beta read, so all mistakes are my own. Now, here we go, hope you enjoy. Also thank you to the guest reviewers of my last story. This chapter is for you!
Disclaimer for future chapters in THIS story: I do not own anything regarding Harry Potter. I also do not own anything regarding Twilight. I just love using them in silly completely made up stories. I'm not profiting from this either.
"talking"
'inner thoughts'
Quidditch and Masked Death
"Honestly Ron come on! Your mother says breakfast's ready." Hermione said as she woke Ron and Harry up from their deep slumbers. "And don't go back to sleep!" she continued as she made her way back down the stairs.
Harry just looked around. Other than Ron's snoring, it was quiet. He had just had a dream about Voldemort. Pettigrew was in it, and another man as well. He didn't know who. Deciding to put his thoughts of the dream in the back of his mind, there's a Quidditch match today. He had something to look forward to. Also, according to their letters, Emerald and Cedric will be there as well.
"Ron, come on, I'm hungry," Harry said shoving Ron yet again.
"Ohmphh….orght…" came the slurs of Ron as he woke up. "It's too bloody early for this," he griped as he put his shoes on.
Showering the night before, everyone was ready after breakfast. The Weasley twins, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Harry took off with Mr. Weasley down a path through the woods to a portkey to take to the match.
"Blimey Dad, how far are we walking?" Ron asked yawning.
"Oh perk up Ron, we'll be there soon!" Mr. Weasley said happily.
Right behind him Fred and George were whispering between themselves. Hermione and Ginny were behind them also whispering.
"I do not want to know what they're scheming," Hermione told Ginny.
"Oh believe me, they were so excited this summer. More than usual actually. You know what, I'm actually worried," Ginny said looking at the twins' backs.
"Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be fun," Harry said behind the girls.
"Ah Arthur, about time!"
Everyone looked up to see a man of Mr. Weasley's age.
"Ah Amos, sorry to keep you waiting. Some of us had a bit of late start," Mr. Weasley glanced to Harry and Ron.
"Ah that's fine. How have you been?" Amos shook Mr. Weasley's hand.
"I've been great. Kids, this is Amos Diggory. Works with me at the Ministry of Magic. He will be joining us for the game!" Mr. Weasley nodded towards the man. Just then someone jumped down from the branch above.
"Ah and this must be young Cedric, nice to meet you!" Mr. Weasley shook Cedric's hand.
"Yes sir. Hi everyone." He said as he shook Mr. Weasley's hand.
The group made their way to the portkey. It was on top of a hill; the sun was just rising.
"Why is everyone surrounding that manky old boot?" Harry asked confused.
"That is the portkey, just remember to hold on," said Fred.
"Now on the count of three everyone, one, two, Harry grab the boot! Three!" Mr. Weasley said.
A big swirl of wind came and it seemed like all of them got sucked through a big hole in the ground. After what seemed like forever but really a few seconds, the group let go. Everyone fell either on their backs or stomachs on the ground. Except for Mr. Weasley, Mr. Diggory, and Cedric. They came down like they were walking on air, like they did this daily. Well Mr. Weasley and Mr. Diggory aren't young after all. They've travelled by portkey their fair share of times.
"I bet that cleared up your nose didn't it?" asked Mr. Diggory laughing.
"Here," said Cedric as he helped Harry and Hermione up. Fred and George helped Ginny and Ron and everyone was on their way.
"Everyone, welcome to the Quiddtch World Cup!" Mr. Weasley said. In front of the lot was a huge mess of people as far as you could see. Also tents, loads of tents, people flying on brooms everywhere. A big stadium was to the right a bit some ways out.
"See you at the match old man!" Mr. Weasley said to Mr. Diggory.
"Sounds good, take care," Mr. Diggory replied. He and Cedric said their good byes and took off more towards the stadium.
The group made their way through the crowd. Mr. Weasley often checking to make sure everyone was still together. Harry and Hermione never had been to a match before, they were excited. Wanting to see everything as they passed by.
"Ah, here we are. Everyone go on in," Mr. Weasley flipped open the tent as one by one they made their way in. Harry stood outside not understanding how many people could fit into a tiny tent like this. He shrugged his shoulders and went in. What he saw astounded him. There was plenty of room for them. There was a small kitchen towards the back, a dining table, beds on the right, beds on the left, and a small living room. There was even a small washroom.
"I love magic." Harry said smiling.
By nightfall everyone was gathering at the front of the stadium. Tonight's match was Bulgaria against Ireland. To Harry and Hermione, it was nothing short of amazing. When they mentioned football to the others, it seemed like they grew heads. Hermione and Harry shared a look that meant 'muggle joke only'.
"Dad how far up are we?" asked Ron looking down.
"Well let me put it this way, if it rains, you'll be the first to know." Lucius Malfoy said looking up at the group. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Father, Emerald and I are in the Minister's box. By personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself," Draco drawled.
"Don't boast Draco, not to these people." Lucius sneered poking his walking stick in Draco's stomach.
"Oh come off it you two. Harry, Hermione, Weasley's, I trust you are well?" asked Emerald coming from behind Draco.
"Emerald! So good to see you!" Hermione said. Mr. Weasley just nodded his head. The twins replied back. Harry waived and Ron suddenly looked very interested in his binoculars.
"Let's go you two. Can't keep the Minister waiting can we?" Lucius said.
"Yes father," Emerald and Draco replied. Draco looked up once more and stared at Hermione for a second and left. Emerald waived and mouthed 'sorry' to the others and walked behind Draco.
Lucius held up his cane to the edge of the rails and caught Harry's sweater. "Do enjoy the festivities. While you can." he smirked, lifted his cane and walked after Emerald and Draco.
"Foul git he is." George said.
"I swear that girl is not from that family," says Fred.
"She's adopted, I know it," says George.
"Who cares, let's go!" Ron said as he made his way further up the stairs.
The group finally got to their destination at the top of stadium.
"See! I told you these seats would be worth it!" Mr. Weasley said jovially as he got his stuff ready.
After the teams were introduced they played a brutal match. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. Once the group got back to the tent they celebrated.
"It's like a bird the way he rides the wind. He's more than an athlete, he's an artist!" said Ron of Victor Krum. The Seeker to the Bulgarian team.
"I think you're in love Ron," said Ginny walking around him.
"Oh shut up," he replied.
"Victor I love you, Victor I do. When we're apart my heart beats only for you!" sings, Fred, George and Harry. Everyone laughs.
Suddenly there's screams and yells. Mr. Weasley went outside to investigate.
"Sounds like the Irish got their pride on," says Fred.
"It's not the Irish," Mr. Weasley said coming back inside, "we need to get out of here. Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility!"
They made their way out of the tent to chaos. There were people running in a panic everywhere.
"Harry! This way!" Hermione screamed.
Harry made his way towards her and Ron. After a few minutes Harry got knocked down and lost sight of everyone. Flashes and spells were going everywhere. Tents were on fire. There was more screaming and Harry felt dizzy. Out of no-where he got knocked unconscious and had fallen to the ground.
Harry hadn't known how long he was knocked out. There was still fire and screaming. He got his glasses and got up.
"Harry!"
Harry looked and saw Cedric running up to him.
"Cedric!"
"Harry have you seen the others? I can't find Emerald anywhere? I think she ran off to find Hermione."
"What were those things?" Harry said looking around.
"Those are Death Eaters Harry. Those are HIS followers." Cedric said looking Harry in the eye. "Emerald knows they'd be looking for Muggleborns especially. She panicked and tried to find you all."
"We…we got separated. I don't know where they're at?"
A spark of red flew past their heads.
"We need to get out of here!" Cedric said. "Run towards the woods, let's go!"
The duo took off towards the woods. Spells kept flying past their heads. They didn't know what spells they were and didn't want to stick around to find out. Finally, they were able to make it behind some brush.
"Hey you two, over here!" came a voice from above.
They looked around and spotted Draco up in a nearby tree waving them over. They sprinted over and found the others.
"Oh thank merlin Harry!" Hermione came and hugged her friend. "Cedric too, oh thank goodness!"
Cedric looked around, "where's Emerald?"
"I thought she was with you?" Hermione asked.
"I lost her looking for you and the others," Cedric's face fell.
"Diggory get down!" Draco shouted as a red light goes just over his head.
"STUPIFY!" came a voice from a nearby clearing.
The force of the spell sent the nearby Death Eater faraway into some tents.
"Not my boyfriend you don't you arse!" Emerald yelled running over to Cedric who she enveloped in a hug.
"Emerald! That was too close." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did Malfoy just help you?" asked Fred.
"Oh come off it. If something happens to a hair on pretty boy's head, then she'd let me have it." Draco said jumping down from the tree.
"Really Malfoy, thanks." Cedric said kissing Emerald.
"Oiy, yuck, get a room." Draco mumbled. Everyone laughed.
Suddenly there was an eerie scream and the night sky lit up into a mass of green light. There appeared to be a skull with a snake coming out of the mouth.
"What is that?" Harry asked. They were all looking at the light.
"It's the dark mark Harry. HIS mark." Emerald said holding Cedric close. Cedric wrapped his arms around Emerald even tighter.
"Well this is going to be…" started George.
"One hell of a year." Finished Fred.
The group just didn't know how much hell was in store.
Ok. First chapter up. Thoughts or comments leave them. Chapter 2 will be up hopefully by Saturday. Until then.
