Lilly rose early with great excitement. Today was the day. Today they were going to the World Cup! Lilly jumped out of bed and stood in front of the mirror and looked at the pale green outfit she had laid out. It consisted of a pale green silk, flowing, renascence blouse, a long emerald green silk wrap skirt and pale green flip-flops with gems on them.

As a princess and a witch Lilly had some extra and very special powers, not all of which she knew about. Her favorite one was the ability to control certain things with her mind. Lilly was still a little rusty on this because she had just discovered it.

Lilly concentrated hard on her outfit and imagined it on her. And within a blink of an eye her nightdress was off and her outfit was on a little messed up but on nonetheless. Lilly smiled proudly to herself.

"With a little bit of practice I'll have this mastered just like the others." Lilly said confidently to herself.

The other powers she was referring to were to make her hair style in whatever way she wanted and to make minor adjustments, with her mind, to the style of the outfits she was wearing, like color or cleaning a stain or cutting stuff off or sewing stuff on.

There was a soft knock on her bedroom door.

"Lilly are you ready? It's time to go." Her father's voice filtered in through the door.

Lilly grabbed the wide brimmed green hat with a veil over it from the top of her dresser and her suitcase and walked to the door. She flung open the door and brushed past her father. They walked down through the castle and exited to the front yard. They walked to the font gate and waited.

Within a few minutes Cornelius Fudge arrived with a port key for them to use to get to the game.

"King Dalon, Princess Lilly a pleasure to see you." Mr. Fudge said bowing.

"Cornelius. Good to see you."

"Monsieur Fudge." Lilly said curtsying.

"Ah young Lilly you're looking as ravishing as always."

"Why thank you Monsieur Fudge. Thank you for allowing my father and I to come to the World Cup on such short notice."

"It's no problem at all Princess in fact I was surprised your father didn't ask sooner. But he has his reasons."

"Yes I do Cornelius. I most certainly do. So you have saved eight seats in total is that correct? And we are not going to be announced like we agreed."

"Yes, yes eight seats and no introduction you are just special guests. Everything is arranged. Now then if you just touch the port key here we'll be on our way." Mr. Fudge said holding up an old newspaper.

Lilly approached Fudge and placed her hand on the newspaper. She heard Fudge count down from 5 and then there was an unmistakable tug from behind her navel and she was pulled forward. There was a sound of rushing wind all around her and all sorts of colors rushed past her. She kept her eyes open so she could see what was going on. Then as quickly as the pulling sensation started it stopped. Lilly gracefully maintained her balance as the port key finished its job.

Lilly lifted her head and looked around her through the veil. There were two wizard officials there to greet them other than that there was no one else. The two wizards greeted Mr. Fudge and told him that they were staying in the first site on the left. Cornelius escorted them to the campsite. Mr. Roberts was the Muggle who was in charge of the campsite. He told them that they were at campsite 2 right near the forest. Mr. Fudge accompanied them too their campsite.

At campsite 2 there was a large six-man tent for the two of them. When you walked it the tent expanded like any other regular wizard products. It was like a miniature palace. Lilly looked around and smiled.

"Thank you Mr. Fudge. This is really too good." Lilly said appreciated.

"No problem Princess. Now your highness I must be off to see to some other business I trust everything is alright?"

"Yes everything is wonderful. Thank you Cornelius."

"Alright then I'll see you two at the game then."

After Fudge left Lilly placed her belongings in the smallest of the rooms and returned to the spacious living room where her father was addressing the six guards that had arrived just minutes ago.

"I'm going to look around." Lilly said not looking at her father.

"Fine but Jenson, Dilki, Marlou, and Breker will be accompanying you."

"Fine." Lilly said as she exited the tent accompanied by four large wizards all dressed in black.

She walked through the rows of tents and looked at all the wizarding families just waking up for the morning. There were little wizards playing with toy wands and brooms and Ministry Officials running around trying to make sure the wizarding world isn't discovered.


Meanwhile Harry, Ron, and Hermione were on their way to the water pump. They walked along and met Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas. Then they went over to the Bulgarians to see what they had all over their tents. There they discovered pictured of Viktor Krum. After that they headed towards the water pump. At the water pump they saw a Ministry wizard trying to convince and elderly male wizard to put on some pants instead of wearing a woman's nightdress.

After they got the water they headed back to their tent. As they rounded a corner Ron collided with a figure.

"Oomph!" The figure said as they hit the ground.

"Uh!" Said Ron as he too fell backwards.

"Ron! Are you alright?" Hermione asked urgently.

"I'm fine! Sorry are you alright..." Ron began to say to the figure that he bumped into then realized it was a young girl about their age, "miss?"

"Yes, yes I'm alright. I must say it is mostly my fault I was not paying attention as to where I was heading." Said the young girl in a soft, sweet, magical voice.

Ron stood up and dusted off his hand and offered it to the girl. But as he did two very large wizards dressed in black stepped in front of her. Ron, Harry, and Hermione all looked up at them in shock and surprise. They stepped back away from them as they drew their wands.

"Jenson, Marlou! Stand down! Its quite alright." Said the girl and the two wizards did as they were told and stepped back behind her.

She stood up and dusted of her skirt and readjusted her hat.

"I'm Lilly. What are your names?" Princess Lilly said holding out her hand to the three shocked looking figures.

"I'm Ron Weasley." Said Ron shaking her hand.

"I'm Harry Potter." Said Harry awaiting the glance to his forehead and the amazement of meeting the "boy-who-lived" that he always received when people met him.

"A pleasure Ron and Harry." Said Lilly then turning to Hermione, "And you are?"

"Hermione Granger." She said studying Lilly very hard because not only did she cover her face, have bodyguards, and not know whom Harry Potter was but she didn't act like a normal teenager.

Then it hit Hermione. Her eyes widened in amazement as she realized WHO exactly Lilly was.

Lilly realizing that this Hermione girl knew who she was looked at her pleadingly hoping that she would realize that she didn't want to be recognized.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. Are you students at Hogwarts?"

"Yes we are." Hermione said seeing the look of plead in Princess Lilly's eyes and not saying anything to Ron or Harry.

Harry had been very shocked at the fact that Lilly had not recognized or let on to the fact that she recognized who he was.

"Where do you go to school Lilly?" Harry asked intrigued to find out why she didn't know about him. Not being recognized in the wizarding world was not something Harry was use to and it fascinated him.

"I'm actually in the process of transferring to Hogwarts. I'll be coming this year and in the fourth year. What year are you three in?"

"Transferring from where?" Harry asked.

"We are in the fourth year too!" Said Ron.

"I'm glad now that I know there at least three people at the school and in the fourth year who can help me around. I'm transferring from well ... a ... a private school not very well known either. There are only about fifty students all together." Lilly lied.

"Wow that's small." Harry said.

"I bet you got a great education there though." Hermione said her eyes sparkling.

"Yes I did. It was a wonderful school with excellent teachers but my father and I have decided it's best for me to go somewhere larger to interact with the subje... I mean other teenagers who aren't over achievers and spoiled by their rich parents."

"Haha well you haven't picked the best school for that!" Ron said, "Hermione here is a major over achiever.

"Don't forget Malfoy. He's a total spoiled brat." Hermione said trying not to blush.

"Haha well I must be going. I too have to fetch some water to cook breakfast for my father. See you Hermione, Harry, Ron." Lilly said and walked away smiling because she had just met some real kids who didn't like her just because she was a Princess even though Hermione knew who she was.

"Why did she wear a veil to cover her face?" Ron asked.

"Well in some cultures young women are not allowed to show their faces because it is believed to be disrespectful and a sign of no longer being a virgin so they are to cover up until they are married." Hermione explained.

"Weird." Both Harry and Ron said together as Hermione shook her head.


Lilly returned to her tent happy and excited. In only a few hours the game would be starting and she would be in the top box watching Viktor Krum do his stuff.

"Did you have fun dear?" King Dalon asked.

"Yah loads." Lilly replied sarcastically as she went to her room.

Lilly spent the rest of the day in her room reading Hogwarts A History, which happened to be her all time favorite book. Only a few short hours the gong sounded for the game to begin.

"Lilly its time are you ready?"

"Yes father." Lilly said and came out from her room and followed her father, while being surrounded by the 6 guards to the stadium.


A/N: I know it seems weird that Lilly is meeting Harry, Ron, and Hermione and that the orignal plot is being twisted a little but I am trying to make it as close yet different from the fourth book as possible! Please R/R!! In the next chapter: The Quidditch World Cup, and Lilly tackles the forest at night.
