Fallen Star (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 12: Waking up AGAIN and trip to the World Cup

(Soundtrack: Track 12: Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston)

"Harry! Are you alright?"
"Hermione. Bad dream. When did you get here?"
"Just now. You?"
"The other night."
"Wake up! Wake up Ronald!"
"Bloody hell."
"Honestly get dressed! And don't go back to sleep! Matilda! Come on! Wake up!"
I felt Hermione nudge my side from where I insisted on sleeping on the floor.
I groaned and rolled over snoring a bit.
"MATILDA! Wake up! Honestly! We've got to go! Mrs Weasley made breakfast." Hermione said nudging me harder.
"Mm mm." I whined rolling onto my stomach and pushing my face into my pillow.
"You two are in charge of waking this one up. I've been doing it for almost four years and it's not an easy task. I'm going to help Mrs Weasley in the kitchen." Hermione stated walking out leaving me to sleep in peace.
Harry huffed a bit and rolled off the bed and onto his feet, "Come on Matilda." He yawned nudging me.
I groaned and crawled on all fours to my bed he slept in and plopped onto it immediately embedded in the warmth still left form it's previous occupant.
"Come on Matilda. If I have to wake up, you do too! Let's get some breakfast." Ron said standing up and plopping onto my bed shaking me.
"I can't." I groaned into the pillow.
"Yes you can. Up! Up up up!" Ron said shaking me even more.
"It's like the middle of the night!" I groaned.
"It's 6:30 in the morning!" Harry chuckled.
"That's what I said, the middle of the night." I stated.
"Come on! Let's go get some breakfast!" Ron said shaking my leg.
  "I don't want any breakfast. I'm not hungry." I said rebelliously facing the other way.
"Too bad. You gotta eat. We don't know when our next meals gonna be." Harry said just now getting on his pants while I wasn't looking.
  "Fine." I pouted sitting up an just staring at the wall ahead for a few minutes.
"Let's go. Come on." Ron huffed pulling me out of bed as I changed into the outfit above and just brushed my hair.
I realized they already changed too so I plopped back onto the bed and sat there a while. Without warning Ron had slung me over his shoulder and walked out with Harry following.
Not that I minded. Who was I to complain when someone offered free transportation?
-----------------------------------
"Ron. Where are we actually going?" Harry asked Ron.
"Don't know. HEY DAD! WHERE ARE WE GOING?!" Ron asked and I winced at the loud voice and rubbed my ear after a yawn.
  "COME ON MATILDA!" Mr Weasley yelled back to me who didn't even notice I was trailing slightly behind.
I nodded even though I knew that they couldn't see me. Ron yawned when he turned around to look at me and he sighed smiling before walking over to me and kneeling in front of me. Knowing what he was doing I hopped on his back and he grabbed my legs as I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
  "Nice Ron. Can you carry me like that next?" Harry asked as Ron caught up.
"Uh no." He said rolling his eyes. Me and Harry quietly snickered. I waited a few minutes before closing my eyes.
After sleeping a while I finally opened my eyes and looked around noticing we're farther along than before.
I yawned to tell Ron I was awake. "It's about time. You've been asleep for about an hour. My back is starting to hurt." He groaned.
"I can walk now." I told him getting off his back.
I sighed smiling and cracked my back before walking over to Hermione and Ginny.
"How was your nap? Are you awake now?" Hermione teased.
"It was wonderful and yes I'm awake now." I laughed along with the giggling Ginny.
"I get it. Getting to know your big brother and all." Ginny said as they continued on walking.
"I can honestly say that I've sort of always thought of him as a big brother." I shrugged.
"He's always thought of you as a little sister, too. I even think he likes you more than me." Ginny said rolling her eyes in his direction.
"Oh come on, Ginny, everybody knows nothings better than the original." I laughed along with them as we came upon a clearing.
"ARTHUR! It's about time son!" A short man with blonde hair and a smile spread on his face bellowed.
"Sorry Amos. Some of us had a bit of a sleepy start." Mr Weasley said eyeing Ron who had just finished yawning but then pointed to me with raised eyebrows as if to say, 'SHE was the one who JUST woke up!'
"This, is Amos Diggory everyone. He works with me in the ministry," Mr Weasley introduced. All of a sudden someone fell from the tree above but landed right beside Amos.
"This doffing young man must be Cedric, am I right?" Mr Weasley questioned.
"Yes sir." He smiled shaking Mr Weasley's hand.
"Are all these yours?" Mr Diggory asked.
"Oh heavens no. Just the red heads.....oh and the lovely blonde right there." I smiled at Mr Diggory once I was presented.
Ginny nudged me in the ribs. "What?" I asked.
She eyed something ahead of her and I looked to see Cedric apparently staring at something......me. Me? Why me?
Once he saw he was spotted he turned away with a small blush matching the one I currently had. After a while we began walking some more.
"Do I have something on my face?" I asked Hermione.
"No. Why?" She asked.
"Why was he staring at me and is still staring at me as if I can't see?" I asked her whispering the last part. She stretched her neck up to look at him from behind me and smiled.
"I think he likes you." She giggled.
"Why?" I asked scrunching my eyebrows together. She have me a stern look.
"Matilda. I don't know if you can tell but your sort of BEAUTIFUL." She emphasized.
I scoffed and looked down at my shoes.
"Who likes who now?" Fred asked sticking his head in between me and Hermione's.
"I would LIKE it if you keep your head out of my business."
I said nudging him in the ribs making him and George snicker. 
"Here we are! The portkey is straight ahead!" Amos yelled from in front and Ginny took off towards......a mangy old boot?
