Chapter 5: quidditch
As the rest of the year progressed Devin and Cedric made themselves known as troublemakers only being rivaled by the Weasley twins. They had been summoned to Flitwick's office 13 times, a new record Flitwick had said.
They also had made friends with a confident roger davies, who had helped them with a prank against Flich. They were soon inseparable, so when the school year finally ended, they exchanged addresses to owl each other. As the Hogwarts Express rolled away from the Hogsmeade, Devin, and his friends had claimed a compartment for themself and were talking about what they were going to do this summer.
"I and Dad are going to south africa," Roger said
"Wasnt there a dragon breakout?" Devin asked
"Yes but the dragons flew back to India," Roger said
"I'm going to Scotland" Cedric declared
"Devin, what are you going do"
"No idea, Tim probably forgot to book something," Devin said
"Devin there you are," Tim said "And who are these gentlemen," he said gesturing to Cedric and Roger
"My friends"
"Well it is nice to meet you, boys," Tim said smiling at the boys
"Promise you'll write to me," Devin said turning to Cedric and Roger.
"If you write back"
"Deal," Devin said grinning
"I'm going to say goodbye to Rose," Cedric said blushing
"Bye loverboy," Roger said grinning at Cedric who hurried away.
"I'll see you next year"
"Bye"
As he and Tim flew over the sea in their flying car. The sun started to set and the lights turned on.
"Devin, I've got an early birthday surprise for you" Tim proclaimed
"What," Devin asked excitedly
"We're going to the quidditch world cup in the USA"
"Your joking"
"No"
"Thank you so much" reaching for a hug
"Hey hey hey I'm driving," Tim said laughing.
"When is it"
"In three weeks"
"Who is playing"
"The Netherlands against Canada"
"Devin were going," Tim said
"I'm ready," Devin said sporting orange pants and a shirt
"Looks like somebody is supporting the Netherlands," Tim said laughing "The portkey leaves in thirty minutes, have you packed everything"
"Yes"
"Toothbrush"
"Clothing"
"Food"
"Bucket"
"Positive"
"Well let us get going, it is a 15-minute walk, its near Gladstad"
The forest surrounded the pair, as they made their way to the portkey. They crossed a river, ravine, and mountains. They came to an open field with a broken tv. Surrounded by a ring of stone.
"That has to be our portkey. And we still have five minutes to spare" Tim said smiling "We're supposed to be the only ones using this portkey, so it would hurt to use it a few minutes earlier"
"Okay, and now" Devin had never traveled by portkey
"We touch the tv and then say the activation word. And then we should be in America"
"Okay," Devin said while touching the tv
"Right the activation word was," Tim said unfolding a piece of paper "Earthly"
'Zapppppppppp' they were sucked into the tv and spit into an open grass field.
"Ah, you must be the group from Norway," a man said as Devin and Tim stood up. "Name?"
"Tim"
"Alright let me see, your tent is located in 3b," the man said pointing to a field on a hill.
"Thank you," Tim and Devin said before setting off to their tent.
They walked thru the Dutch fan's camp where they saw multiple Dutch flags hanging and everything was covered in orange. He could see a massive stadium sitting on the horizon
"Devin, duck" Tim shouted to him.
Devin looked around to see a guy on a broom flying over them. As they arrived on the hill and saw their tent it was a small tent.
"Are you sure we can fit in that"
"Sure," Tim said from inside the tent.
"Wow" devin said after entering the the tent. The tent was at least ten times as big as the outside.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the 1990/421st world cup we have the Netherlands against Canada" there erupted a cheer. From the croud
"Here we have the dutch mascots" al of sudden large cheese rolls flew into the stadium. At least a 100 rolls were entering the stadium and sprinkling orange dust over the crowd. As the cheese rolls settled on the sideline the announcer spoke once again.
"And here we have the Canadian mascots" It looked like Santa Sled entering the stadium. But no it was hundreds of reindeer flying in the stadium flying over the crowd and throwing snow on them.
"It looks like the teams are ready" he announced "Here we have the Dutch team led by de Wit.
Here is Kooi, van der Linden, baron, Koolhof, knieperts, and school!" a large cheer erupted from the crowd.
"And on the Canadian side, we have. Ross, Lane, Lyle, Grant, Woodward, Hall, and Diamond"
A large cheer erupted from the Canadian section.
"This game will be led by eric hart" a respectable applause came from the crowd.
"Players ready, referee ready yes then let the 421st world cup… begin" The bludgers and snitch were released, the quaffle was thrown into the air.
"The Canadians assume possession, Grant has the ball he passes to lane flies thru the Dutch defense, and unleashes a powerful shot on the keeper, oh an exceptionally saved by de wit"
a groan was heard from the Canadian crowd "De wit passes to Kniepert who flies to the middle, this is a promising attack by the Dutch but the Canadians have intercepted the ball and on the attack, no a bludger has been hit directed a Lyle and it hits lyle and he drops the quaffle"
"Kniepert passes to Koolhof who passes to Baron they swerve around a Canadian defender they are thru on goal and they score, but the keeper couldn't reach it"
"10-0"
"It looks like school has seen the snitch and with the current score the Dutch would win, Diamond dives after the kooi, it looks like the snitch is close to the ground"
"Oh wait there is no snitch Diamond falls right into Kooi's trap and plummeted into the ground" The game was paused with the score 120-100.
"And the game continues this game is extremely close anybody can win, but it probably will go down to the seekers"
"And after almost 5 hours the game still hasn't been ended by the seekers. Oh, I believe Diamond has seen the snitch will he win it for Canada but Kooi is on his tail and has his slipstream, de wit gets next to Diamond, I can't see it but it looks like de wit is in front. Yes, he has done de wit and has caught the snitch. He wins for the Netherlands, the score ends at 660-500"
