Kassandra Bauer and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)

Chapter 2: Getting the Boot.

Kassandra P.O.V

I slept pretty peacefully in Ginny's room. It looked just like Ron's room, minus the Egyptian Stuff. Until I got up and Hermione was on top of me. 

"Oh, Kassie. I was just about to wake you up." Hermione said. 

I was already up. And so was Ginny. "Time to go." She mumbled groggily, dressed in her jeans and her pajama shirt. She was pretty tired to change any faster. 

Me on the other hand. I was already fully awake. I was very excited. We were going to go to the Quidditch Cup today! I could barely contain my excitement. But... it seemed I was the only one though. The boys despite being awake, looked just as tired as Hermione and Ginny did.

 "Ugh." Ron groaned.

"Oh, wake up and drink some coffee." Anubis told Ron.

Ethan, Penny, and Mater were wide awake just like me, though.

"Why do we have to be up so early?" Ginny asked, rubbing her eyes.

"We've got a bit of a walk." Mr. Weasley answered. 

"Um... why do we have to walk to the World Cup?" I asked. "Couldn't we just apparate to our location?" 

"Oh, we're not walking to the World Cup." Mr. Weasley assured me while he was smiling. "We only need to walk a short way. It's just that it's very difficult for a large number of wizard's to congregate without attracting Muggle attention. We have to be very careful about how we travel at the best of times, and on a huge occasion like the Quidditch World Cup-" 

"George!" Mrs. Weasley suddenly said, making us all jump. 

"What?" George asked in an innocent tone. Even though it fooled nobody. Believe me, I know that look.

"What is that in your pocket?" Mrs. Weasley pressed. 

"Nothing!" George denied. When he said nothing. He meant something. 

"Don't you lie to me!" Mrs. Weasley pointed her wand at George's pocket and said: "Accio!" And several small, brightly colored objects zoomed out of his pockets; he tried to grab them but he missed and they sped right into his mother's outstretched hands. 

"Oh boy." Ethan could see where this was going.

"We told you to destroy them!" Mrs. Weasley furiously roared, holding up the lollies. "We told you to empty the lot! Empty your pockets, go on, both of you!"

And in a pretty chaotic scene; the twins evidently tried to smuggle as many toffees out of the house as possible, and it's only with the use of the summoning charm that Mrs. Weasley was able to confiscate them all. She kept on shouting out: "Accio!" just to confiscate all the toffees from under the Weasley Twins. 

"We spent six months developing those!" Fred protested as Mrs. Weasley threw all the toffees away. 

"Oh, a fine way to spend six months!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked. "No wonder you didn't get more O.W.Ls!" 

I sank behind Harry. O.W.Ls were already scary enough. Would Mater yell at me when I failed them? I just knew I would. 

Well, I would tell you that atmosphere in the house was friendly when we departed. But it wasn't. Mrs. Weasley was still glowering as she kissed her husband on the cheek. Though not nearly as much as Fred and George, who both hoisted their bag up onto their backs and left without a word to her.  

"Well, have a lovely time." Mrs. Weasley said. "And behave yourselves." She called after the Twins retreating backs, but they made no indication on whether they heard her or not. Couldn't blame them really. They seemed pretty mad.
