Things have been really weird the past few days. First of all, Ron keeps
complaining about how Hermione and Krum are too close together. Meanwhile,
Hermione keeps complaining about how pigheaded Ron is about her
"relationship" with Viktor. Apparently, the only thing that they could
agree on is to sit on opposite ends of the room and sit in silence.
But today is Harry's birthday and things are looking up. Today they are going to the Quidditch semi-finals. Everybody got dressed up to go to the game. The twins, Fred and George, came with their parents, along with Ginny, by Floo Powder early in the morning. They had their breakfast and by 10:00, they were all ready to go to the stadium.
The Weasleys, Hermione and Harry arrived by portkey and crash landed onto the ground. "Still can't get used to that" said Ron. When they got up, they couldn't believe their eyes. All around them were the colors red, white and blue. Hats, clothes, balloons, posters and even people were in those three colors. "Americans. You just can't figure them out." said Mr. Weasley. "Well kids, we have about an hour before the game starts. Just roam around and be at the entrance at about 10:55. Come on Molly, Ginny."
"Harry, Ron, I'm going to go look for Viktor, okay?" asked Hermione.
"Fine." said Ron with a disgruntled look on his face. "Tell him to break a leg-or two."
Harry pulled him as Hermione left. "What is up with you?"
"Look, let's just get something to eat. Or let me buy you something. I have money. Fred and George have been paying me to keep me from telling mum that all of their joke stuff is at Dean's" The two boys looked over at the twins over at the concession stand. They smiled, both imagining Mrs. Weasley's face if she ever finds out. "They said that the moment they leave school, they are going to create their own business."
Fred and George walked to them, each carrying a stick with something golden- brown on top of it. "Hey you guys," said George "do you want some?"
"What is that?" asked Ron.
"They call it a corndog." said George. "They say it has a hotdog inside and deep-fried batter all around it."
"And it's absolutely delicious!" Fred exclaimed, trying not to spit food all over them. When he finished and stared at the stick and said "I'm going back for more!" and took off.
"Well, we might as well buy some." said Ron.
"Thanks." Harry replied.
Ron walked to the stand looking inside his pouch. Suddenly, he slams against this girl with black hair who's trying to write something in her notebook.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry." said Ron in surprise.
"No, no it's my fault." said the girl with an American accent.
"It was really my fault." Ron picked up the notebook.
"Oh, well. Whatever. As long as nobody's hurt. You're not hurt are you?"
"No, I'm fine. Here, I think this is yours." He handed her the notebook.
"Thank you. Hey, you're English aren't you?" the girl asked as she took the object.
"Yes, yes I am."
"That's cool. I'm Sam by the way." The girl then turned her head around and back again. "I think my mom's calling me. Hey, maybe I'll see you later." She starts but then stops and turns to Ron when he began to say something
"It's Ron. My name's Ron."
"See ya Ron!" She turned and ran into the crowd.
Ron walked back to Harry in disbelief. He met a girl and he actually knows her name.
"Hey Ron! We saw that!" shouted Fred, mouth still full of food.
"You guys saw that?" asked Ron, his face was as red as his hair.
"Of course we saw it, little brother. We were right here." said George.
"Who was that girl anyway?" Harry asked.
"Oh, she's Sam. And she's an American." Ron replied.
Harry felt like he needed to know more. "Do you know anything else?"
"Nope, sorry. That's it."
"Oh." Harry said with disappointment. It was like he was trying to find out information on an old friend.
"Wait. She did have green eyes, I could tell you that."
"Really? How interesting."
"What's interesting?"
"I don't know. But I'm going to find out."
"Well, we still have 15 minutes to go. Why don't we get our food?"
"Sure why don't we." Harry said, still thinking about that mysterious girl.

"Hermione, I have to go now. They are calling the players" said Viktor Krum.
"Well, good luck." Hermione said. She starts to walk, but then Krum grabs her by the arm.
"Vait." he says.
"What is it?"
"I love you." he said with a smile on his face.
Hermione waited a second. "I love you too, Ron."
Krum stared in disbelief. He slowly let go of her arm and started walking inside the player's entrance. Hermione, still frozen at that moment couldn't believe what she has just said.
She walked; then she ran. Everyone was already there when she arrived. She stood beside Ginny and avoided to look at Ron.
"Is something wrong?" asked the youngest Weasley.
"Viktor said 'I love you' to me."
"So, what's the matter?"
"I didn't say 'I love you too, Viktor' back" Hermione said. Her mind wandered off for the rest of the day, thinking of what she has done.
