Eavesdropping

The morning of the Quidditch World Cup was nothing short of eventful in the Weasley household. Coming from a wizarding family herself, y/n, knew how important the cup was and had been waiting all summer for the match. Being close as you can get with the Weasley Family, she had been invited to accompany them to the game. It was exciting to say the least. Y/n and Ginny could hardly sleep the night before just from pure adrenaline. However, morning approached quickly and abruptly as ever.

Ginny and y/n were woken up by an already dressed Hermione, who aggressively shook them awake. "Let's go, you two," Hermione shouted, throwing open the curtains. "Mrs. Weasley says that breakfast is ready! And I have to go up and wake the boys."

Ginny let out a groan and flopped back down on her bed; y/n let out a small giggle, getting up from the fortress of blankets that covered her the whole night. She looked at Ginny, still star fished on her bed, "Come on, Gin," y/n spoke gently. "We got a quidditch match to go to." And in nearly an instant she jolted up from her spot and threw on clothes as quickly as possible.

Ginny and y/n descended down the stairs as one, dress and ready to go. Mrs. Weasley greeted them with a kiss on the forehead each as they sat down at the table for breakfast. Mr. Weasley's voiced bellowed through the first floor, "Good morning, ladies! Fine day, it is! Excited?"

"Excited, Dad? Like that's even a question," spoke Ginny with a mouth full of food.

"We could hardly sleep last night!" y/n joined in, serving herself. "Who are we meeting anyway, Mr. Weasley?"

"Amos Diggory and his son, Cedric. We work in the ministry together. I believe your father knows him as well," Mr. Weasley said with a smile.

Molly turned around to the table, "Cedric, name sounds awfully familiar," She pondered, then a lightbulb went off in her head. "Oh, yes. He is in the same year as the twins, y/n. The year just below you, I am sure you have seen him around."

Y/n nodded, not recalling his name. Hogwarts was a big school after all. Molly called upstairs to the boys, yelling that it was time to go. A very sleepy Ron and Harry walked down the stairs, followed by an agitated Hermione. Ginny looked towards y/n, letting out a laugh. The lot of them gathered their belongings and said their goodbyes to Mrs. Weasley. Then, the eight of them: Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and y/n, set off to where the portkey was placed to get to the Quidditch Stadium.

They weren't walking long when two men came into view. Mr. Weasley turned to the sleep-deprived teenagers behind him, "There they are, the Diggory's! Alright, gather around everyone."

Mr. Diggory and Mr. Weasley approached one another, shaking hands with grins on their faces. Then Mr. Weasley turned to Cedric, and suddenly y/n couldn't breathe, because how did she not know that this boy existed before today. His figure was lean and fit, his brown curls fell gently around his face and his eyes were the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. And Cedric was thinking the exact same thing because he came up to her quickly after greeting his father's friend.

"Hey," Cedric said, looking deep into y/n's eyes. "I'm Cedric, lovely to meet you."

"y/n," she said, extending her hand for him to shake it. Everyone stopped to watch the scene in front of them play out. It was like wandless magic was happening before their very eyes. Sparks flew and the six of y/n's friends hated every second of it.

"And just like that," Ginny sighed. "Leaving me for a stocky, Hufflepuff boy. I will admit, I am heartbroken."

"Oh, sod off, Ginny," George turned to her.
