Chapter 2-The Confrontation
"Obliviate!" Mrs. Masters cried and turned her wand upon the old man. In an instant, his memory was modified.
Mrs. Masters and Tuesday walked up to the man.
"Good morning sir," Mrs. Masters greeted him, smiling broadly.
Tuesday smiled at the man too, her mother seemed to be in a better mood than before. Tuesday had always thought modifying memories looked like fun, she knew her mother must enjoy doing it.
"Morning misses," the man replied.
"Mr. Roberts I presume?"
"That's me."
"Right. I booked one campsite for me and my daughter here, under Masters."
Mr. Roberts checked a list and turned back to Mrs. Masters, "You've got a site up near the woods. Just tonight right?"
"Yes that's right," Mrs. Masters dug through her purse and handed Mr. Roberts the money.
"Here's a map of the camp site for you," Mr. Roberts handed them a map, "Yours is just over by the woods there."
"Thank you sir," Mrs. Masters smiled and she and Tuesday began walking to where all the other tents were. They passed a lot of tents until they found one with a sign that read their name. The space was fairly big and was situated near the top of the field and a few tents down from the edge of the woods.
Mrs. Masters folded her arms and stared at the space, apparently thinking deeply.
"Now how should we do this? Ah," Mrs. Masters smiled again and using her wand, made a big, two story high tent appear out of nowhere. It was a satiny light blue, and had large windows on both floors.
Tuesday glanced at her mother, "Mom...I thought we weren't supposed to do magic here."
Mrs. Masters chuckled lightly, "We used magic to get here didn't we? And look at everyone else's tents! Oh yes, and there's something I forgot."
She waved her wand again and conjured up two big red rossettes and a Bulgarian flag to decorate the front of the tent with.
Tuesday couldn't help but grin and be amazed when she stepped into the tent. It was very spacy, with a large kitchen, living room, and bath room on the ground floor. The second floor had a large room with a wooden floor and large windows and chandeleir and two bed rooms. Tuesday took off her sweatshirt and threw it onto the bed of the smaller room. She checked her watch, it was still a few more hours to go before they could walk over to the stadium.
Tuesday went back downstairs to find her mother throwing a cloak on over her Muggle clothes.
"Tuesday dear?"
"Yes mother?"
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back in time for us to walk over to the stadium. You can leave and go look for your friends if you want, but be back here by dusk," Mrs. Masters said.
"Sure," Tuesday replied. Mrs. Masters left abrubtly once again. Tuesday was completely used to this. Her mother had often been gone when they moved to Privat Drive. That was usually when Tuesday would be over at Dudley's or out with him.
The summer afternoon air was much to nice to be spending it inside her luxury tent, so Tuesday took a hamock and set it up outside the tent. She sat down and decided to read a bit. About an hour into her reading, she heard a familiar voice call our her name. Tuesday shot out of her hamock and ran into the outstretched arms of her best friend, Lilly.
"I'm so glad to see you!" Tuesday cried happily.
"Me too!" Lilly let go of Tuesday and grinned underneath her shiney, straight, blonde hair. She had some shiney make up on her eye lids and lips and her face was glittering with silver sparkles. She was wearing a light blue halter top and a matching plaid mini skirt with a belt and a chain.
"You look awesome!" Tuesday complimented her friend.
"You too," Lilly replied, she brushed a strand of hair out of her face and looked around excitedly, "I can't beleive we're actually here! I can't wait to see Viktor fly again!"
"I thought you and Nik were going out," Tuesday said.
"We are, but that doesn't mean I can't surpress my love for Viktor!" Lilly cried.
They both laughed.
"Guess what Lilly? I've been made fourth year prefect!" Tuesday cried.
"Awesome!" Lilly replied, she slapped Tuesday a high five.
"Where's Nik? Is he here with you?" Tuesday asked.
"He's here, but his tent is a little further down there. I thought we could go meet up with him."
"Good idea."
As they walked, Tuesday told Lilly about her new neighborhood and about Dudley.
"And he really is Harry Potter's cousin?" Lilly asked, sounding a little disbeleiving.
"He really is," Tuesday answered, "He's got the scar and everything. It's totally Harry Potter."
"And did your mother do anything?"
"No, she just thought it was interesting, besides, I don't think she wants to fuck around again. She almost got sent to Azkaban once remember?"
"Yeah...is your sister still going back to Durmstrang?"
"Yeah. I'm going back to Bulgaria after the Cup and my father's taking us to school," Tuesday explained.
They stopped in front of a basically ordinary tent, except for the large poster of Viktor Krum on the side of it.
"NIK!" Tuesday and Lilly called.
A boy their age stepped out of the tent and ran over to them. He gave both Lilly and Tuesday hugs. The boy had black hair too and a pale face.
"What's up girls?" He greeted them.
"We're here at the Quidditch World Cup!" screamed Lilly.
Nik looked at her, worried, "Lilly, you might not want to scream that so loud, there's Ministry Wizards everywhere and some Muggles too..."
Lilly hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sorry, I'm just really happy to be here!" Lilly put her arms around Nik and Tuesday.
"We're all here together!"
"Lilly told me you're in a Muggle neighborhood now," Nik said to Tuesday.
"Yeah, it's not that bad," Tuesday said.
"You hooked up?"
"Yeah..."
"With a Muggle!" cried Lilly.
Nik's mouth dropped open, "Are you fucking serious?!"
Tuesday couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed but she said, "Look, he's the coolest Muggle I ever met."
"And you told Lilly he's the cousin of Harry Potter?"
"Yes I am serious about that. He is! Beleive me, I went over to his house a million times over the summer, Harry Potter was there."
"Did he join in?" joked Nik.
"NO!" screamed Tuesday.
Tuesday and Lilly decided to stay with Nik and his family for dinner before the Quidditch Cup started. Nik lived with his witch mother, wizard father, and his little brother Alden, who was starting his first year at Durmstrang.
"You kids must be excited about going to school this year," Mrs. Toya said to them as they ate their dinner.
"The same as every other year mom," said Nik.
"But this year's going to be great for you kids, you must write and tell us everything Nik," Mrs. Toya went on, "But maybe fourth years won't be going?"
"Dear," Mr. Toya said sharply, he gave his wife a weird look, "They'll find out when they get to school."
"What's going on at school?" Tuesday cried.
"Where might we be going?" added Nik.
"Please tell us!" begged Lilly.
"I wanna know too!" shreiked Alden.
But Nik's parents just smiled and Mrs. Toya said, "The vendors are coming out now."
Tuesday stood up from the table, "I have to go back and meet my mother," she said, "We're supposed to walk down to the stadium together..."
"See you there!" Lilly and Nik called as Tuesday walked back to her tent by herself.
Mrs. Masters was there waiting when she got there minutes later.
"Let's go," she said sharply. She was still wearing her black cloak.
"Can I get some Omnioculars first?" Tuesday asked as a vending cart strolled by.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Thanks," Tuesday ran off to the nearest Omniocular cart and stood awkwardly next to it. She couldn't beleive who was standing there at the cart too.
"Harry?!" Tuesday coudln't help but blurt out breathlessly.
Harry turned around and stared at her, Tuesday knew he instantly had recognized her as the girl who was currently in a relationship with his Muggle cousin.
They stood there for a few moments just gaping at each other until a bushy haired girl with Harry said something to break the awkward silence.
"Harry, do you know this girl?"
Harry stared some more and then finally nodded.
Tuesday couldn't help but smile at him. His dumbstruck face was just that amusing.
"Surprised to see me Harry?" Tuesday said, then to finish things off, added, "You shouldn't be."
Without buying her Omnioculars, Tuesday turned right around and walked away. When she got back with her mother she felt she needn't mention her meeting with Harry Potter and she finally did buy some other souveneirs including a Bulgarian scarf and a mini flag.
She and her mother made their way through the forest path to the stadium in silence until Nik and Lilly ran up to Tuesday once again. They pushed their way into the crowd and walked with Tuesday, a little ways behind her mother, who was walking pretty fast anyhow.
"You guys will not beleive who I just saw!" Tuesday shreiked.
"Uh...." Nik started dumbly.
"No dick face!" laughed Tuesday, "Harry! Harry Potter! My boyfriend's cousin is here! He saw me."
Lilly chuckled and looked at Tuesday, "I can not beleive you sometimes. What happened? Did he say anything?"
"No," replied Tuesday, "Harry doesn't even know I'm not a Muggle," she shrugged, "I guess maybe he knows that now since he saw me."
"You didn't tell your boyfriend?"
"No way! Why would I do that?" Tuesday cried.
Lilly shrugged, "I don't know...did your mom say anything about it? You going out with a Muggle?"
"Oh please girls, stop arguing over me," said Nik, who had apparently fallen behind the conversation.
"Shut up Nik," said Lilly, "So anyway Tuesday, what's he like? Your Muggle boyfriend? You know what? I've heard that Muggles are really untrustworthy...has he ever told you a lie? I'll bet he has. You know? I know someone who was with a Muggle. I think it was my cousin Oliver, he goes to Beauxbatons, he had a girlfriend who was a Muggle and she was mad crazy, I'm serious."
Tuesday giggled. She liked being back with her friends. She had really missed them.
"I trust Dudley," Tuesday said confidently, "He's not like other Muggle boys I've met...although I have only met a few...but he's just different I guess. He's really cool and really fun to talk too. He always has something funny to say and for a Muggle who's never had another girlfriend before...he's really affectionate."
"He probably has you to thank for that," Lilly gave Tuesday a pat on the shoulder, "So tell me," she went on, "Just how does a Muggle kiss?"
But Tuesday couldn't answer, they had just arrived on the other side of the woods and had stepped into the shadow of the gleaming Quidditch World Cup stadium.
Lilly and Tuesday were so excited that they started jumping up and down screaming, "Go Bulgaria!" and raising their Bulgarian flags.
"Go Bulgaria!" Lilly screamed in some kid's face. He had on a green rossette for Ireland.
"Ireland SUCKS!" Lilly screamed some more as they stepped into the gigantic stadium.
Tuesday gazed into the stands. The rows were endless and the feild was monsterous in size. If only Dudley could see what I'm seeing...she thought as she led the way up into the velvet lined stands. She took her seat at the end of one row, next to her mother, and Lilly sat next to her with Nik on her other side. Nik's little brother Alden sat down next to him, and his parents were there too. Lilly's mother and father sat in the row behind them.
"I think they're trying to keep an eye on you," Nik whispered mischeviously to Lilly.
"I guess that means no more cheering," said Tuesday.
"I wish I could light all those green roses on fire," laughed Lilly.
Tuesday looked around excitedly, the stadium was huge and rows and rows of people were both behind and in front of them. Tuesday looked up and noticed the highest rows of seats--The Top Box.
Nik noticed her looking up.
"Those are prime seats up there," he said, "Wish mum would've got us those kind of tickets."
"These are fine," said Lilly cheerfully, "At least we're all here together!"
"Awwww!" said Tuesday, giving Lilly a tight hug.
"And besides," Lilly went on, "I bought these just in case!"
Lilly pulled out a pair of golden Omnioculars from her purse.
"I almost bought a pair of those," Tuesday said, "Those are really cool."
"I'll let you use mine for part of the match if you want," offered Lilly.
"All right! Thanks!"
Nik put on his Omnioculars and was already putting them to good use.
"Dude...she's hot..." he said as he looked through them, "Holy shit! Okay, she's pretty ugly...but that one! Dude she has a hot ass."
"NIK!" Lilly yelled at him.
"Give me those!" Tuesday snatched Nik's Omnioculars away from him to ensure he didn't use them for checking other girls out anymore.
"Let's go get something to eat before the match starts," Tuesday suggested.
"Great idea!" replied Lilly.
They told their parents where they were going and got out of their seats and walked around the stadium, following flashing arrows to the food section which contained all kinds of different foods including foreign stuff, but it was the candy that Tuesday, Lilly, and Nik went for.
They sat back down fifteen minutes later, each holding a butterbeer, some Chocolate Frogs, edible wands, and several bags of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
"My favorite!" cried Tuesday as she greedily opened her box of jelly beans. She was just remebering how much she loved them. She hadn't had them in a long time.
"Trade you a pepper for a mint," said Lilly.
"All right!" agreed Tuesday and they swapped jelly beans.
Suddenly, the whole stadium filled up with a booming voice they couldn't identify.
"Ohmigosh!" screamed Lilly, "The Quidditch World Cup is starting!"
