A/N: Hey all so I wanted to address the one comment I saw in the first day if you read back I did kinda brush over it but Hermione tells Harry he hasn't eaten in three days I realize that is was a bit of poor writing on my part but it was meant to be that for his first change he slept the entire time after he changed for me and my stories a wolf turns for three days every full moon just as the moon lasts. I also realized that I never touched on the dream at the beginning of Fourth year I'll address it in this chapter but it did happen. Once again I want to thank you all for reading and following along.

It was a few hours later that Harry was woken up by Mr. Weasley to come and have some food. Harry got up slowly and made his way out to the campfire.
"Oh this must be young Harry." said a tall redhead with long hair tied back in a ponytail wearing a fang earring. "Pleasure to meet you, Bill Weasley and this is Charlie." He said pointing out the other brother who just like him had long hair but unlike the rest of the Weasley boys was short and stocky. Harry also noticed his arms were scarred and burned which he knew came from his work with dragons.
"Hello Bill and Charlie, it's nice to finally meet you. How are things with Gringotts and the dragons?" he asked.
"Oh you know goblins Harry, they only care how much gold I bring in, they don't care where it comes from." Bill said, chuckling.
"As for dragons, well they are dragons but it is the start of mating seasons so things get bloody chaotic with the nesting mothers." Charlie replied.
"Harry, we made you a plate, don't worry Hermione made sure it was well to your liking." Mr. Weasley said, handing him a plate loaded mostly of meat.
Harry began eating while he looked around at the campsite and the things beyond. He was glad for Remus helping him get his senses in order because he knew today would be tough being around so many people with everything heightened. It was then that he caught a scent he knew all too well by now, Hermione was close by. He looked up and saw Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, and a little blond girl Harry didn't know.
"Oh Harry you're awake."Hermione said, when she noticed him sitting eating his food. "Harry this is Luna Lovegood she is a neighbor of the Weasley's and has been a friend of Ginny's for many years, she is also in Ginny's year."
"Hello Harry Potter. You look rather well after the full moon." Luna said, shocking everyone around her. "Oh I'm sorry did everyone else not know?"
"No Luna we all knew what shocked us is how you knew." Ginny said.
"The Nargles told me." Luna said, absentmindedly.
Everyone looked extremely confused but knew better than to get too worried about Luna."
"Loony strikes again." Ron mumbled thinking no one would hear him.
"Ron, her name is Luna." Harry said with a bit of a growl in his throat.
"Oh Harry it's ok you don't need to get all feral for me. Ronald isn't the only one to call me that it's ok I don't mind." Luna replied.
"Oh no Luna he has been told many times not to call you that and if it takes Harry threatening to rip him apart to get him to realize its not ok then so be it." Ginny said, slapping her brother in the back of the head.
"How was the walk around?" Harry asked.
"Oh great we saw a few of our friends from school Seamus and Dean with his mum. We even ran into Susan Bones and her aunt, she is head of the DMLE, they said they would be joining us in the stands." Ron said.
"Well we have a few hours till the match starts but we are going to want to get going soon because we are at the very top and there will be a long line to get in." Mr. Weasley said.
A half hour walk saw the entire party in line to get to their seats.
"Seats a hundred thousand," said , spotting the awestruck look on Harry's face. "Ministry task force of five hundred have been working on it all year.
Muggle Repelling Charms on every inch of it. Every time Muggles have gotten anywhere near here all year, they've suddenly remembered urgent appointments and had to dash away again...bless them," he added fondly, leading the way toward the nearest entrance, which was already surrounded by a swarm of shouting witches and wizards.
"How far up are we?" Ron asked.
"Top box. Prime seats." Mr. Weasley replied.
They continued to walk until they arrived in their box to find they were not alone. Already seated was the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and a woman Harry could only assume was his mother Narcissa. Harry instantly became aware of the stench of Malfoy father and son but Narcissa didn't share the foulness of her family.
"Oh wow Weasley managed to get tickets but however could you afford so many surely your house isn't worth enough." Draco sneered.
"Draco, that kind of talk is not becoming of you apologize." His mother reprimanded him.
"Mother it's just the blood traitors, a mud blood, and Potter." Draco replied.
"We are in the presence of foreign ministers, our own minister of magic, and many other government officials. You will maintain a sense of decorum worthy of your heritage. Am I understood?" She chastised him.
"Yes mother. My sincerest apologies, Minister and esteem guests." Draco said blatantly ignoring Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys.
"Mr. Malfoy, might I ask you to step aside so my niece and I can get to our seats." came the stern voice of a woman.
"Oh hello Harry, Ron, and Hermione it's so good to see you. How was your summer?" came the voice of Susan Bones.
"Hello Susan, it's great to see you and who is this with you?" Harry asked.
"Good day Mr. Potter my name is Amelia Bones. I am Susan's aunt and here as Head of the DMLE. I have heard many things about you from Susan some of which I'm very concerned about so if we have time I would definitely like to talk to you about them." said Amelia, shaking his hand.
"Uh sure I'm not sure what Susan could have told you but if we have time I just hope I'm not gonna be arrested." Harry said, septically.
"Oh on the contrary I'm thinking I might have to do something else if they are all true." she replied.
"Oh looks like the minister is getting ready to start the match." Mr. Weasley spoke up.
"Ladies and Gentlemen it brings me great pleasure to welcome you all to the final of the four hundred twenty second Quidditch World Cup." The Minister's voice boomed over the crowd.
The spectators screamed and clapped. Thousands of flags waved, adding their discordant national anthems to the racket. The huge blackboard opposite them was wiped clear of its last message (Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans—A Risk With Every Mouthful!) and now showed BULGARIA: 0, IRELAND: 0.
"And now, without further ado, allow me to introduce… the Bulgarian National Team Mascots!"
Down the farside of the field Harry could make out what looked to be a hundred or so women walking onto the field.
"Ah yes Veela." came Mr. Weasley's voice from behind Harry.
Harry could see that these were some of the most beautiful women had ever laid eyes on but as he focused he could also see an aura of magic about them. He could tell that magic was enhancing their features. It was then the music started and the Veela began to dance and sing. Harry saw the crowd going wild, he felt the need to do something to impress them. He quickly shook it off when he heard Hermione's voice.
"Oh honestly they aren't that beautiful. RON get down."
"Ok what is going on, what are they doing to people?" he asked.
"It's the Veela Harry. They produce an Allure that entrances the opposite sex if they hear it or are happily in love or as it turns out are a different form of magical creature." Mr. Weasley explained.
"Oh that's why I didn't go all loopy. The wolf helps me keep my senses." Harry said, nodding in understanding.
"Or you're in love with Hermione." Mr. Weasley said, laughing.
"Mr. Weasley it…..it's not like that with me and Hermione." Harry stuttered.
"Relax Harry I'm only teasing you, look here come the Irish leprechauns. Don't take any of the gold, it will just disappear in about an hour. Oh look, they're off." Mr. Weasley replied, pointing to the match.

Ok quick note I'm not gonna waste writing covering the world cup match mostly because I wouldn't change a thing. So we are gonna time skip to the aftermath.

After the match everyone went back to the tents hyped up over the Irish win. RON was complaining that Krum caught the snitch too early, while everyone else knew he did it because the chasers were never going to catch up. All the excitement was soon over as Mr. Weasley sent everyone to bed due to an early portkey to the Burrow in the morning. Harry was deep in a dream about himself playing in the world cup when he felt himself shaken awake.
"Harry, come on wake. You to Ron, we need to leave." came the voice of Mr. Weasley.
"What's going on?" Ron asked groggily.
"No time to explain, grab a jacket and let's go." he replied.
"There's a fire and people screaming what's going on?" Harry asked, after his senses kicked in.
"There are Death Eaters out attacking muggles. The last we saw they were heading this way. I want you all to go into the woods and be careful. Harry, I'm giving you permission to use magic if necessary with your senses you are the most prepared for the night." Mr. Weasley explained.
"Alright Mr. Weasley I'll get everyone to the woods. What are you going to do?" he asked.
"My job as a Ministry employee and help against the Death Eaters. Bill, Charlie, and Percy have already gone to help. Stick together and stay safe." He said, bolting out of the tent.
Harry gathered Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Ginny, and Luna and led everyone to the woods. Thanks to his senses they managed to get to the woods safely when everyone started complaining about not being able to see.
"Oh I don't believe this I've lost my wand." Harry said, as he went to cast Lumos for everyone.
"Where was the last place you had it?" Ron asked.
"Honestly I had it in my back pocket when we went up to the stands. That was the last time I thought about it." Harry told them a little reluctantly.
"So you could have dropped it back in the tent when you got changed or it fell on the run?" Ginny asked.
"It could be anywhere. Here Harry use my wand. You have the best defense skills out of all of us if something does go wrong plus Mr. Wealsey told you it was ok to use magic." said Hermione, handing him her wand.
"Thanks Hermione maybe we can get back to the tent and look after this is over hopefully it doesn't catch fire." He said, looking back toward the fires.
"Harry, I think I can hear someone coming." George said.
Harry listened and he could indeed hear footsteps coming up from behind them. He sniffed the air and could pick up two females and three males then he heard them.
"Shh Daphne once we are in the woods it will be ok." came the voice of Susan.
"Are you sure? I think Malfoy and his goons are following us." came a second voice that must have been Daphne.
"Even if they are, what can they do to us in an area like this?" came Susan's reply.
"I don't know but Malfoy is a foul git." replied Daphne.
"It's Susan and some girl named Daphne, they are running from Malfoy by the sounds of it." Harry told them.
"Which way we can meet up with them?" asked Fred.
"This way everyone keep quiet. If we get lucky maybe that blond ponce will pass us by." Harry instructed.
They followed Harry as quietly as they could towards Susan and Daphne. They walked for a few minutes when Harry held up his hand to tell them to stop.
"Everyone get down and stay quiet. Fred and George they are going to walk right through here, when they do grab them and pull them out of the way. Malfoy and his ilk are right behind them. I'm going to knock them on their ass." Harry said, drawing Hermione's wand.
It took about two minutes for the whole thing to unfold Daphne and Susan walked into Fred and George's grasp and Harry blasted Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle with the disarming charm. Frantic about being grabbed in the dark Daphne and Susan were battling fiercely to get free Daphne got a good kick to George's groin and he finally dropped her.
"What the hell Weasley?" Daphne screamed.
"Sorry Greengrass, it was my plan, get you two out of my way so I could put the blonde ponce and his goons on their asses." explained Harry.
"Well thank you Harry but next time you apply your saving people fetish try not giving the people you are saving a heart attack." Susan chastised.
"Well you two didn't know we were here and I had to act fast. Who better to facilitate a good grab and smash than the terror twins and me." Harry laughed.
"If it was Potter who did the grabbing I'd say he just wanted to cop a feel. Are you ok? I'm sorry about the kick but you did scare the crap out of me." said Daphne.
"It's not the first time I'm sure it won't be the last." George groaned.
The rest of the group laughed at his response and that's when they heard the shout.
"MORSMORDRE!" and the sky lit up with a bright green light as a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth appeared. At the same the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stood up.
"GET DOWN!" he shouted, as several loud cracks and shouts of "STUPEFY!" were heard as everyone dropped.
"Stop, those are my children." came the voice of Arthur.
"Which of you conjured it and do not lie. You have been discovered at the scene of the crime." said a man with unnaturally straight short gray hair and a toothbrush mustache.
"Crouch you are kidding right, look at who is here, Madam Bones's niece, Harry Potter and most of Arthur Weasley's children who are all still in school and Greengrass's eldest daughter none of them are likely to have cast it." said Amos Diggory.
"There was a deep voice over there that cast the spell. I don't know what that is but you will also find Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle over there unconscious." Harry told them pointing in the two directions. "The boys being unconscious is my doing, in the midst of everything going on they were planning on cornering Ms. Bones and Ms. Greengrass and I decided to intervene. There might be a misuse of magic alert at the Ministry for Hermione Granger that is not true. It was me. I seem to have left my wand back at the tent. So I used Hermione's because I was given permission from Mr. Weasley." Harry explained.
"Crouch a couple stunners did go right threw there maybe we got them." one of the wizards said as another went to look.
"There is a body and a wand. Oh um Mr. Crouch, you are gonna want to see this." came the wizard's voice.
"What have you found?" Crouch called. The man came out holding a small house elf and a wand.
"Hey wait, that's my wand you found it with the house elf? Is that Winky?" Harry asked.
"Mr. Crouch I found your elf stunned with this wand in her hand." The wizard said.
"Mr. Couch I'm sure you would like to handle the punishment but I do need to get to the bottom of this mark. Do I have your permission to question the elf?" Diggory asked.
Crouch nodded.
"Enervate! Elf!" said Mr. Diggory sternly. "Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures!"
Winky began to rock backward and forward on the ground, her breath coming in sharp bursts. Harry was reminded forcibly of Dobby in his moments of terrified disobedience.
"As you see, elf, the Dark Mark was conjured here a short while ago," said Mr. Diggory. "And you were discovered moments later, right beneath it! An explanation, if you please!"
"I—I—I is not doing it, sir!" Winky gasped. "I is not knowing how, sir!"
"You were found with a wand in your hand!" barked Mr. Diggory, brandishing it in front of her.
"So," said Mr. Diggory, his eyes hardening as he turned to look at Winky again, cowering at his feet. "You found this wand, eh, elf? And you picked it up and thought you'd have some fun with it, did you?"
"I is not doing magic with it, sir!" squealed Winky, tears streaming down the sides of her squashed and bulbous nose. "I is… I is… I is just picking it up, sir! I is not making the Dark Mark, sir, I is not knowing how!"
"It wasn't her. Like I said before it was a deep male voice not Winky's high pitched one." Harry said.
"Well be that as it may she was still found in violation of clause three of the Code of Wand Use. No non-human creature is permitted to carry or use a wand." said Mr. Diggory.
"I'll take over from here Amos rest assured Winky will be punished." Crouch said.
"M-m-master…" Winky stammered, looking up at Mr. Crouch, her eyes brimming with tears. "M-m-master, p-p-please…"
Mr. Crouch stared back, his face somehow sharpened, each line upon it more deeply etched. There was no pity in his gaze.
"Winky has behaved tonight in a manner I would not have believed possible," he said slowly. "I told her to remain in the tent. I told her to stay there while I went to sort out the trouble. And I find that she disobeyed me. This means clothes."
"No!" shrieked Winky, prostrating herself at Mr. Crouch's feet. "No, master! Not clothes, not clothes!"
Mr. Crouch pulled out a ragged old, dirty glove and threw it at Winky. Winky fell to the floor sobbing and wailing, Harry was forced to cover his ears.
"Mr. Crouch please reconsider Winky wasn't the one to do this." cried Hermione.
"It doesn't matter if she did or didn't, I gave Winky an order to remain in our tent until I came to get her and she disobeyed by leaving." explained Crouch.
"She was terrified. We learned in the Top Box she is afraid of heights and those people were suspending people in the air of course she ran." Hermione said, angrily.
"I have no use for an elf who disobeys me. Now Amos give Mr. Potter back his wand and we can be on our way. Mr. Wealsey will you take care of Ms. Bones and Ms. Greengrass I will inform Amelia and Cyrus they are with you." said Crouch.
Mr. Weasley nodded and ushered the kids back to the tent where they waited for the other parents to arrive. When Amelia arrived she thanked Harry for what he did for the girls told him she would take care of the misuse for Ms. Granger. In the morning everyone caught the first available portkey back to the Burrow and the first thing Harry did was floo Remus and Sirius. They told Harry to keep safe and have fun before school and Remus would be there to see him off on the first.
