Paper Rings

2: Famous Cousin

Quidditch World Cup

Emory saw her parents gracefully stand again, but she remained on the ground, in shock.

"Now, what do you say? Were your parents right?" said Elizabeth.

"Correct as always," Emory unwillingly apologized.

"This was the only way to get here," Elizabeth told her.

Emory and Matthew looked at each other before racing up the hill. Both trying to be faster than the other.

The early morning was turning into a beautiful day. It was amazing to even be at the Quidditch World Cup. Hundreds upon thousands of tents covered the campsite's green grass.

"Keep up Emory, we don't want to lose you," Her father shouted.

Thousands of voices filled the hill, as people moved all around them, shouting and laughing happily. It looked straight out of a movie, with all the excitement filling the atmosphere. She saw broomsticks flying overhead and multiple other sports being played among groups.

"Brilliant!" British people shouted walking around the campsite.

Suddenly, Emorys heart started racing. Harry was around here somewhere and she had to find him!

She spotted her parents coming to a stop at a tent with Abbot's name on it. It was already set up, so she assumed her mother's company set it for them.

She looked across the walkway to find a similar face.

"I'll find you later!" She called to her parents. As she ran across the path.

"Ryder!" She yelled and put her arms around him.

He laughed and hugged her back. Emory pulled herself out and punched his shoulder with all her strength.

"Ryder James Long! You barely wrote to me and don't blame it on Quidditch." Emory pouted.

He punched her back, "I wrote once a week," He said.

Rolling her eyes, she yelled at him "Find Mason and come with me".

After Ryder went into his tent and grabbed his twin brother.

"Mason!" She yelled.

"Hey, Emory!" He yelled back. Ryder may be her favorite twin (he was her best friend), but Mason always gave him a good run for his money. Mason was a much better student than Ryder, but with them both having different friends it was hard to see each other at school.

She linked her arms between the two boys, who were much taller than her, and they started walking.

"So where are we off to?" Mason questioned.

"To find my cousin," She told the twins.

Ryder laughed, "Yeah, the famous cousin Harry Potter. Keep forgetting your family is famous,".

She hit him with her bag, "We aren't famous!"

"Yeah, just the most famous journalist mom, hottest professor dad, and most popular student. But we aren't famous" Mason said mocking her tone.

They laughed and continued their search. They looked everywhere, from person to person. Ryder kept tripping on things.

"Can we stop, I'm so tired," Ryder exclaimed. Emory ignored him and stopped in her tracks. She looked around like she was analyzing the whole place.

A group of loud redheads caught her eye but she looked away, she needed to find Harry. And Harry was not a redhead.

Ryder and Mason looked around as well, and the same group was spotted too.
