A/N: ATTENTION: I want to tell you more fun facts about Selene, but don't really know what. So if you want to know anything, ask and I'll answer in the chapter following your question. If there's something that'll be later revealed in the story, I'll tell you that. Now, enough chit chat. Here's another chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 56: World Cup
"Come on Sel, you…"
"…can move faster" The twins said, both leaning on me.
"Maybe I would move faster if you two wouldn't be leaning on me. I'm practically carying you both!" I snapped, shaking them off of me.
"Oh, someone's snappy today, did…"
"…you not sleep well last night?"
"Just- I didn't sleep really well, I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can't seem to get rid of."
"Oh, cant wait to see…"
"…a certain Hufflepuff?"
"What Hufflepuff?"
"Oh Merlin George, she-"
"Yeah Freddie you're right-"
"What?!"
"You don't know that were going to the…"
"…World Cup with the Diggorys." They said with mock surprise, wide eyes and everything.
"Well, I didn't know that, but what does it have to do with what you said earlier?"
"Well, it's a known fact most of the…"
"…Hogwarts girls are drolling after Diggory. And some…"
"…of the boys if we can say." They added in a whisper, while I rolled my eyes.
"Well, not this one. Now you move, or we'll be late." We hurried to catch up with the others. We walked so slow that we were far behind them.
When we finally reached them, Mr Weasley was talking to a man about his age that he presented to us as Amos Diggory. Just after that, a boy jumped down from the tree that we were under.
"And this strapping young lad must be Cedric, am I right?"
"Yes sir." Cedric said, shaking hands with the man. Well, I had to admit he was rather handsome…but just a little!
We arrived at the camp soon after by Portkey (hope not to fall again next time)
and were greeted by an...interesting view. The muggles who cared for the surfaces were wandering about confused, hundreds of tents and witches and wizards were occupying all the space, some in very weird muggle clothing.
My suspicions regarding the muggles were soon confirmed as we met Mr Jones, the one who saw about the parcel we were reparted to. Some kids flew past him after we paid, and a Ministry official obliviated him, telling us they all had to be obliviated at least three times since the beginning of the day.
The rest of the day until the match went rather uneventful, even though we met a few kids from our school, even Oliver Wood, who was determined to win the Quidditch Cup this year as well, since it was his last at Hogwarts.
We were currently on the way to our seats on the huge stadium. But...
"...and we have seats on the highest level."
"First last time probably. Look at the bright side, you'll be the first to know if it rains." We looked down and saw Mr Malfoy with Draco by his side, both sneering towards us.
"It's good, continue" I smiled slightly towards them.
But we started leaving without any more fighting. At least until Mr Malfoy pinned Harry's coat to the handrail with his walking cane.
"Enjoy yourself would you? While you can." and then we left. What was that about? I wondered.
The game was amazing!! The twins actually won a bet with Ludo Bagman when Krum, the Bulgarian seeker caught the snitch but Ireland still won. Even though we danced and joked around back at the tent, we eventually fell asleep.
"Selene! Selene! Wake up!! Please, we must leave NOW!" someone was shaking me violently.
"Hermione, what the-" and then she said the two words that made me jump off the bed instantly...
"Death Eaters! They are torturing that muggle family of Mr Jones and setting things on fire."
We met with the boys outside and Mr Weasley, Charlie, Bill and Percy went to help the ministry officials.
"Fred, George, Ginny is your responsibility."
We ran into the forest but met with Draco. He was leaning on a tree, a smirk playing on his lips.
"...and where's your father? With the masked ones isn't he?" Ron said, but Draco just shrugged.
"You should run and hide Granger."
"Why?"
"They hunt muggles, you wouldn't want to show your knickers in the air too, would you?"
"What happened to your arms Malfoy?" someone finally got tired of your big mouth and beat you?" he suddenly looked self-conscious and hid his arms, looking alarmed at me."
"I'm okay."
"No you're not."
"You neither."
And we started running again, but I lost the others and eventually literally bumped into someone. I felt a slight shock and my hair turned turquoise as I looked into the deep blue eyes of the boy I ran into.
"Theo..." I didn't have time to realize what a dumb thing I said before two arms encircled me and I was pulled into a warm hug.
"So it really was you. I thought I was going mad. I missed you Sel."
"But how-"
"The electric shock. I only ever got them from you. And no matter how hard you try or what color they have, your deep eyes are always as beautiful as when we were little."
"Wow. And I thought I fooled everyone."
"We'll have time after. You should go now, before they catch you." I turned away but remembered something."
"Theo, your mom-"
"No, she would never do that. Especially after dad-.You know what? We'll have time for this, now GO!"
When I caught up with the others, they were getting ready to leave and the Dark Mark was fading slowly from the sky. On the way home they told me about their 'meeting' with Crouch and his house elf. It didn't sound well. Something was really off, but it wasn't my job to question it.
When we finally got back to the Burrow, Mrs Weasley jumped on us, apologising to the twins for scolding them before they left and hugging us all so hard, I was surprised no one's ribs cracked.
Over the next weeks, neither Percy nor Mr Weasley were home too much, working hard at the Ministry to solve the problems from the World Cup (and to prepare the last details of the tournament probably). Bill and Charlie both left the country again, so at mine and Harry's birthday party there weren't necessarily a lot of people, though it was fun. I recieved another charm for my bracelet (green sphere- ambition), books from Hermione and handmade joke supplies of the twins.
So the last month of the vacation sort of made up for the World Cup disaster.
A/N: Hope you liked it. And remember: don't be shy, ask what you want to know about Selene.
