"Wake up you're leaving in 5 minutes!" Molly yelled.

Today is the Quidditch World Cup. Hermonie arrived a few hours ago and the boys rescued Harry yesterday. Ginny, Hermione, Arthur. and I are ready to go but the twins, Harry and Ron aren't. When they finally do come down they quickly grab something to eat and then we head out. After what feels like forever we come to a hill with a dirty boot and a man at the top.

"Ah. Arthur. I was beginning to think you wouldn't show. Are these all yours?" The man asks.

"Some of us had a sleep start." Arthur says eyeing the boys. "And no only the redheads are mine. This is Amos Diggory children." Arthur introduced.

Then a boy about my age jumps down from a tree. "And this must be Cedric." Arthur said.

"Yes sir nice to meet you." Cedric says smiling and shook Arthur's hand.

"Is that Harry Potter. You bet him in quidditch that's something to tell your children." Amos said laughing.

Cedric looked embarrassed and the rest of us looked mad. "And who are you missy you look familiar?" Amos asks me.

"Alexandra Wood." I say firmly.

"Aw yes I remember her. Very nice girl." Amos says looking down.

"Didn't she whoop your arse a couple times playing Quidditch." Arthur added with a chuckle.

"You know we must be going. Everyone grab on." Amos said outing a hand on the dirty boot.

"That's just a manky old boot." Fred complained as we all placed a hand on it.

"Silly Freddie it's a port key." I say laughing.

Soon we are spinning in the air. "Let go." Arthur says. We all let go and we fall to the ground but Hermione casts a spell that slows us down. We look up to see Arthur, Cedric, and Amos gracefully land.  I begin to get up when Cedric comes over and offers me his hand. "Here let me help you." He says smiling. 

I feel my face get hot and I know I've blushed. Cedric is a dashing lad and normally those type of guys don't pay attention to me. "Thanks." I say grabbing his hand and he pulls me up.

"Hey A.J come here. We are going to the tent." George yells next to an angry looking Fred.

"Bye Cedric." I say.

"Maybe we can meet up later." He suggests.

"Yeah sure." I say and walk off.

Ever since that day at the burrow with Fred I've kinda been avoiding them. I don't know who to deal with these feelings so I'm going to burry and try to forget them.  He doesn't even like me like that to him I'm just a sister.

I walk over to them and follow them to the tent.

"So this is the Quidditch World Cup?" I ask looking around.

"Yep and here's are tent. " George sad pointing to a medium size tent. Needless to say I don't think we will all fit. I walk in and it's huge. All of us plus more could fit in here. Once I was done packing I took a walk. I wasn't looking were I was going and I ran into someone I looked up and saw a face I know all too well.

"Luke!" I say tackling him into a hug.

"Hey Alexis. I'm so glad you can make it to the match. " Luke said hugging me tight. Luke's a chaser for the Bulgarian team.
