,,Y/n,dear!",Molly giggled and wrapped the girl in a hug.
,,Morning.",y/n said while shaking after the literally 'breathtaking' hug.
,,Come in,come in!"
She entered the house,not without stepping on the slightly broken wooden doorstep,which made a creaking noise.
,,Granger!"
,,Black!"
The brown-haired girl brought her hands up to y/n's face.
,,How have you been?"
But y/n couldn't even begin to talk,cause one of her best friends just peppered her with more Questions.
Questions like "How were your Holidays?"
"Did something strange happen"
It didn't last long tho,cause she was pulled out the conversation by two larger figures.
,,Hello our sweet little pumpkin pie-",the one began,while gently gripping her upper arm.
„-We've missed you so much!",the other one ended the sentence that his brother had started.
Y/n smirked.
,,Good Morning,Fred-",she looked to her right.As identical as they may look,she could recognise their voices and tell the difference.
„-George",she looked to her left.
,,Wow-
,,-You know us better than our mother."
Y/n shook her had.
,,Yeah,yeah.Anyways,where are Scarface and Roonil Wazlib?"
Hermione took y/n's hand.
,,They're still sleeping.Come on,let's wake them up!"
Y/n followed Hermione up the steep brown stairs,with red oval-shaped rugs that had gold swords embroidered on them.
Through the candle Hermione was holding, you could notice every detail. The striking green wallpaper where the dark brown hollow is seen, due to it being torn, or the family pictures hanging a little crooked. However, y/n thought that it was pleasant.These little touches made it clear that someone lived here, not just one but a whole family.It made her feel at home and incredibly welcome.A feeling of love rushed through her body and she got light goosebumps of imagining how it would feel like living with a family,your own family.
Last year she found out Sirius black was her father.He was accused of killing multiple people and selling Lily and James Potter,who were in fact his bestfriends,to Lord Voldemort.Well Harry,Hermione,Ron and Y/n proved that wrong last year,but sadly only for themselves.Since y/n found out Sirius black was her dad,it started spreading around.Now everyone knew that he was her father.Her mother had died.Well she also found out that her fellow Ravenclaw classmate,was her cousin.
Eva-Maria Tonks.They spent every single day of the holidays together.Hermione also got to know her,cause she spent the first few weeks with them.And they both got along right away.Sadly Eva wasn't invited to the Quidditch World Cup,but there was someone else who was going.Lejla Diggory.
Y/n's best friend and also her first ever friend.Lejla was a Huffelpuff,like her brother.Cedric Diggory.Cedric was a handsome guy,but Lejla was hotter.This is what Y/n thought.Well she has a little crush on Cedric,but doesn't everyone.
Now back to Scarface and Roonil Wazlib,the names Y/n liked to call Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley,her other best friends.
,,And don't.go.back.to.sleep!",Hermione's scolding brought y/n back to reality.
Her best friend then came storming out of the room.Y/n looked after her.
Then she peeked her head through the door of Ron's room.
,,Hi.",she said softly.
,,Get out!",Ron hugged his bedsheet tightly.
,,Hi.",Harry sighed.
Y/n looked around the room.
Two metal beds, each painted black, one bed had a matching green bedspread with a green pillow and the other had a red pillow with a hand knitted deck by Molly.Everywhere on the wall were Quidditch posters, books and autograph cards.The floor was yellow to golden and consisted of oak. On the floor was a large, round carpet and it was a sandy yellow which matched the floor. On the bedside tables were two lamps, one green and one red one, which let stars appear on the ceiling.
,,Come on you guys,breakfast is ready."
And with that she left the room.

Arthur led the group closely followed by Fred and George, then Ginny,Y/n and Hermione, and then the somewhat sleepy and lagging Ron and Harry.
It was still dark since it was early in the morning.
,,Ron,where are we actually going?",the three girls heard Harry ask.
,,Don't know.Hey Dad,where are we going?"
,,Haven't the foggiest.Keep up!"
,,Oh,look.I think I've never seen Ron run",Ginny said,which made Y/n snicker.
,,Arthur!"
Y/n looked up.
,,Lejla!"
She pushed Fred and George out of her way to give her best friend a hug.
Lejla welcomed her with open arms.Short after she hugged Y/n,Hermione came and gave her a big squeeze.
,,Diggory."
,,Potter,Weasley." They smiled at each other and they gave her a big hug.
Of course they knew Lejla.Y/n introduced her to them in their first year.Lejla even helped solving the mystery of the chamber of secrets in the second year,since Hermione got petrified.
,,-About time,son.",Amos,Cedric and Lejlas father continued.
,,Sorry Amos,some of us had a bit of a sleepy start",Arthur looked at Harry and Ron.
Somebody jumped next to y/n and her friends.
,,Ah!",y/n held her left hand up to her heart.
,,And this strapping you lad must be Cedric,am I right?"
,,Yes,sir",both of them shook hands.
,,Didn't mean to scare you."
,,You didn't scare me...",y/n muttered under her breath.
,,Oh,really?"
But y/n was already busy going back to her,now,three best friends.
They all gave her a look.You know,the 'look'.But she didn't react at all cause she knew if she did,she would have never escaped the mighty prison of teasing.
They all kept going and didn't really listen to Harry and Amos' conversation anymore because everyone was way too tired.
Finally the sun awoke and appeared between the paper-white clouds. The cold vanished just as suddenly and a satisfying warmth flowed through the children's bodies like a river.
,,Yes,it's just over there.",Amos speed-walked to an old shoe catching his breath.
But Ginny was the first one to reach it.
,,Shall we?",Arthur turned to Amos.
,,Oh,yeah."
,,We don't wanna be late"
,,Come on,nearly there now.Get yourself in a good position.",Amos had also reached the old shoe.
Everyone circled the boot.
,,Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?",Harry questioned Y/n.
But she knew just as little as Harry did.
,,That isn't just an manky old boot.
-Its a Portkey.",The Twins answered the question that was written on both Harry's and Y/n's faces.
,,Time to go!",Arthur shouted.
Y/n did probably the smartest thing,just what everybody else did.But Harry wouldn't stop questioning.
,,What's a Portkey?"
,,Ready!After three.One.two....
-Harry!",Arthur could still shout and just in time Harry touched the shoe.
,,-THREE"
They all whirled around in circles and they started yelling. It picked up speed and Y/n felt herself getting worse and worse.
,,Let go kids!",Arthur shouted.
,,WHAT?!",Y/n asked flabbergasted.
,,Let.GO!"
One by one they started to let go,not without yelling or screaming of course.
Y/n hit the ground with her back,so did Harry,Hermione,Ron,Fred and George.
Y/n looked around.
,,Where are the others?",but then she looked up.
Lejla,Amos,Cedric and Arthur flew through the air like some goddesses.They all landed softly.
,,Need help there,princess?",Lejla asked.
,,No",Y/n huffed and got up pretty fast which made her rips hurt even more.
,,I'll bet that cleaned your sinuses,eh?"
Amos was the last to land.
,,-Total shambles,as per usual."
Cedric gave Harry his hand to help him stand up.
,,Thanks."
They walked towards the direction where the cheering came from.
,,Go on,Look at that!"
Y/n softly pushed Cedric's arm out of the way to get a better view.
The first thing that caught your eye were all the snow-white tents stabilized with trunks of wood.
Ron appeared besides y/n an linked arms with her.
,,Look there."
There were all the Ireland and Bulgaria fans who had their faces smeared with the respective country's flag. The cloudless sky, that turned a beautiful baby blue, was filled with people buzzing around on their broomsticks
,,Well,kids,welcome to the quidditch World Cup!",Arthur himself looked amazed.
,,Stay together!Keep up,girls",Arthur turned around.
They walked by a man who was juggling red bright balls with glitter stripes on them.
A smile left Hermiones lips and she looked behind her to see that y/n wasn't keeping up the pace,quickly she grabbed her hand and twirled her to her.
There were a whole lot of people.
Harry and Ron who were a few feet away let out a breathy laugh
,,Whoa!"
A broom whizzed past them so close that Amos has lost his balance for a moment.
,,Aah!
-Bimey!"
Arthur helped him get on his feet.
,,Parting of the ways,I think.old chap.
-See you at the match.
See you.",Both shook hands.
Y/n,Hermione and Ginny said goodbye to Lejla and joined the group shortly after.
,,Home Sweet Home."
Arthur made a gesture towards a,well,smaller looking tent.
,,How are we going to fit?"
Harry asked.
,,They're enchanted,not unusual in a wizarding world"
Y/n answered.
She took his hand,intertwined their fingers and guided him into the tent.
His heart stopped for a second.He always thought of her as his friend,as his best friend.He had always admired her kindness,intelligence,bravery.She always lectured her friends to not be wasteful,but to be thankful for everything.
But lately he had something new to admire about her.Her beauty.The way just one tiny dimple would appear when she smiles,it was just one tiny one,but big enough for everyone to notice.The way her eyes light up every time she talks to somebody or when they sparkle when she's standing in the sun.
,,Excellent,excellent"
Harry snapped out of his thoughts.
-Ginny,look!
,,All to the bath
-Look
Girls,choose a bunk and unpack"
,,Ron,get out of the kitchen.We're all hungry.
-Yeah get out of the kitchen,Ron!
Feet of the table!
-Feet off the table",the twins mocked their dad in sync.
,,I love magic."y/n sighed
,,And I think I love you",Harry thought.

At sunset they made their way to the stadium. It was gigantic with spheres of light shining from everywhere which lit up the place perfectly. You only saw that many people in Diagon Alley, at least for y/n.She had never seen such a large crowd of wizards.Y/n grew up in the muggle world .However, she has been living with her cousins, Nymphadora and Eva, since the summer holidays. It was quite fascinating.
,,Blimey,Dad.How far up are we
-Well,put it this way"
Lucius Malfoy appeared under them with his son,Draco Malfoy.
-If it rains,you'll be the first to know"
Ron's mood changed immediately to being giggly and all excited into pure shame and y/n hated that.
They loved each other like siblings,so she went up to him and gave him a light shoulder squeeze.
,,Father and I are in the ministers box
by personal invitation if Cornelius Fudge himself."
,,-Show-offs are the most miserable rabble that bear God's soil.Think about it Malfoy,then you'll have something to do for the next few years"
,,Y/n"
Lucius said trying not to sound angry
,,You should've come with us since we're a family now,you know.We keep great company."
,,I.Would.Rather.Die"
,,You still have time to think about which side you'll chose"
He got closer
,,-If you know what I mean"
,,Come on"
They were about to turn around.
,,Do enjoy yourself,won't you?"
He grabbed after Harry with his cane.
,,-While you can"
