Regina was trying to be as quiet as she could be this early in the morning. It was the day of the Quidditch World Cup. Matilda went to bed earlier that night. Regina was gathering the tent and clothes that they would need for the night. Regina knew that since Matilda would be going to Diagon Alley the day after the game, she needed to make sure to bring all of her things with her. It was 1:30 in the morning and they had to leeave by two to make sure they would get their spot in time. Regina went into Matilda's room to wake her up. She gently shrugged Matilda and Matilda awoke with no trouble at all.
"Morning, it's time to get up," Regina whispered.
Regina left the room as Matilda got up to get dressed. Still feeling a little groogy, she got dressed with what Regina laid out. Matilda walked out still feeling very sleepy and sat down on the chair bye the fireplace. The light hurt her eyes so she could barely open them. Regina brought Matilda a pot of hot tea and toast with strawberry jam.
"Matilda we are going to be riding a broom there to the site. I do not like to appparate much and we really can't use the floo network."
Matilda looked at the tent and luggage and looked back at Regina in a confused and sleepy state. Regina smiled and pulled out her wand from her cloak. With a wave and a few words, the luggage and tent shrunk into a size that was big enough to fit in a pocket. Regina put her wand away and then put the items into her pocket. Regina grabbed the broom in one hand and grabbed Matilda's hand with her other hand. They walk out of the room and out of Hogwarts castle and onto the quidditch pitch. Regina put the broom out and it floated in mid-air. She motioned Matilda to get on. Matilda climbed onto the broom and felt a set coushin that wasn't visible. Regina then put one of her cloaks around Matilda and the hoped on the broom in front of Matilda. Regina kicked off and they went speeding through the air. The coolness of the air woke Matilda up fully and she quickly grabbed hold of Regina's waist. When Regina landed in the misty moors, all Matilda could see was a man reading an old newspaper. They hopped off the broom and Regina led the way to go a speak to the man. Matilda looked at him oddly. He was dressed in tweed and golashes.
Regina smiled as she went up to the oddly dressed man. "Hey, Basil. I'm here for my usual. Where is Mr. Roberts?"
"He is about a quarter mile that way." Basil extended his hand as he pointed out the way. Regina smiled and grabbed Matilda's hand in order to get her to come. After a little ways, they met Mr. Roberts, paid him for the campsite, and made their way to Regina's usual spot. Regina pulled the tent out of her pocket and with her wand, returned it to its normal size. Regina waved her wand again and the tent set itself up. She then pulled the luggage out of her pocket and returned it to its normal size as well. Regina and Matilda eached grabbed their own luggage and went inside the tent. Matilda was amazed to see that the inside of the tent was not the inside of a tent at all but a small camper. There was a kitchen, a living area with a small couch, a table and chairs, and two beds.
"Matilda if you would like to rest for a while, you can sleep on the bed. We have a while before we have to go anyway. I will be out and I will be back to get you soon." Regina walked out of the tent and Matilda landed on the bed fast asleep. Regina came back and woke up Matilda. Matilda, feeling alot better after her nap, woke up and got herself dressed. Matilda put on her jean skirt with the t-shirt her aunt got her while out. The t-shirt read "My First Qudditch Game." "You won't believe who I met while I was out."
"Who?" Matilda asked.
"The Weasley's and Harry. I found out that we have seats right next to them during the qudditch game. We should get going so we have enough time to find our spots." Regina got her bag her bag that had the emblem for the Bulgarian Qudditch team on it and headed out the door. Matilda followed in suite except she had the bag for the Irish Qudditch team. They headed out of the door and to their spots in the stands. By the time they got to the top there was the Weasleys and Harry and a bushy haired girl that Matilda did not know.
"Regina,dear," Mrs. Weasley came up and hugged the girl. "Fudge has already left and we have been sitting here enjoying the pregame festivities. Matidla it is so nice to see you again," Mrs. Weasley said as she gave her a hug. "You can sit next to Harry and Ron." Matilda did just as she was told. Regina sat next to Bill and Charlie. They laughed as they caught up on what they were doing.
"Hey Harry and Ron," Matilda said as she smiled and sat next to them.
Ron eyes became wide as he turned to the bushy haired girl and said, "'Mione, this is Matilda. This is the girl who might know more than you do."
"Hi," said Matilda as she extended her hand to shake Hermione's.
"Hello," Hermione said as she shoke her hand. "Are you going to be attending Hogwarts next year?"
"Yes I am, but I don't know what house I want to be in."
"Hi my name is George. You don't choose."
"Hi my name is Fred. The Sorting Hat chooses for you.
Ron turned to them and said"Don't you go and tell stories that you told me or worse."
"Were not," Fred smiled as he and George went back to discussing there latest joke creation.
Matilda turned to Harry and noticing him talking to himself. She tapped him on the shoulder and said "Harry, do you know that it is not healthy to talk to yourself?" Matilda quirked up eyebrow at him. At just that moment, Matilda noticed a blonde haired father, mother and son enter the box. They were the Malfoys. Luscious, the father, introduced his son, Draco, and his wife, Narcissa. Draco sneared at Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Luscious then snubbed the family about how much money they had. Matilda could tell that she did not like them at all. Not one bit. Luscious then turned to face Regina. His face made a wicked smile.
"Well, if it is not one of the number one people I know."
The smile that Regina had disappeared and her face was now the face of a scared child. "Sod off Malfoy.
"Sorry my dear. We hav these seats for the rest of the match."
During the whole game, Regina was very uncomfortable and did not say much. The Malfoy's left early. Matilda enjoyed her first quidditch match. They walked back to the Weasley's tent for dinner. Regina was experiencing much pain. Matilda could not tell if it was from her arm or stomach. She asked if Matilda could stay with the Weasley's for the night, which they agreed because she had to go to the neartest wizarding doctor in order to get a potion for her pain. Matilda went to bed that night hoping that everything was okay with her aunt.
