The Burrow, Devon

August 1994

"IT'S GOT TO BE IRELAND."

Astra nodded, agreeing with Charlie. "It's got to be. They flattened Peru in the semi- finals." 

 Fred frowned. "But what about Krum?"

 "Krum's one decent player, Irelands got 7. Remember, Lynch nearly made Peru's chaser fall off his broom by going left instead of right." 

Astra poked a potato and pointed it at Fred, eating it as he shrugged. 

"I wish England had gotten through. That was embarrassing." Charlie cringed in memory as Harry questioned the tragedy that was the quarter-finals.

"Went down to Transylvania, 390 to 10."

 Astra whistled. "Shocking performance. And Wales lost to Uganda. And Scotland lost to Luxembourg."

George interjected. "Wales only lost by 10, so it was close. Scotland lost by 150 though." 

"We'll just have to see. Although, despite the other players, Krum is incredible." Astra got the 3 boys agreeing with before turning to Bill, who was sat next to her. "What do you think Bill?"

He chuckled. "Ireland, of course. But like you said, we'll have to see."

Soon enough, the garden was filled with candlelight as Mrs Weasley floated Homemade strawberry ice cream their way, and the subject changed to dragons. Astra was always eager to hear about Charlie's job. 

".... Clarissa, the Chinese Fireball we got in last year, she gave birth a few months. Three survived but sadly one died in childbirth. Clarissa has been devastated since, not allowing anyone aside from Nicola to feed her babies. Come to think of it, Nicki's the only one Clarissa has ever let near her."

Charlie mused, tapping his spoon against his cheek as Astra stared in fascination. "Wow. What about Norberta, the Norwegian Ridgeback that Harry and Ron sent in their first year?"

He chuckled. "Tormenting the others as usual, there is another Norwegian ridgeback, a male. She's not interested in the slightest. - here I've got a photo."

The magizoologist pulled out a picture of the dragons and Astra took it, staring at in awe. Through the black and white picture, the male dragon was trying his best to nudge the female with his snout but Norbeta ended up seething at him and stomping off before the photo restarted.

The younger girl laughed excitedly, Fred and George snorting at the reaction from the dragons, before she handed back the picture. "I'm so jealous you get to be around these amazing creatures day after day." 

"No... but you have these amazing creatures instead!!" The twins flourished their hands from beside Astra who only raised an eyebrow. 

"More like cretins." 

"Oi, get up."

Astra shook the twins awake sleepily, yawning into her hand as she started walking towards the door, both boys stirring. 

"S' time already?"
