"Blimey Dad, how far up ARE we ?" I hear a familiar voice question, leaning my head over the railing to see a most of, the red haired, Weasley clan. Before I could say 'hi!' I was tugged back by my dads hand.

"Come on you can look at boys later I'm here to watch Quidditch" Dad sighed.

I went to open my mouth but soon closed it, making our way to our seats.

The ceremonies began, balloons fly and a short fireworks display goes off.

My dad walks over to Mr.Weasley to greet him.

"Come on, take up your seats I told you these seats would be worth waiting for," Mr.Weasley said, he turned around to see my dad "Ah John! What a pleasant surprise to see you here!" He smiles, I shuffle past and stand next to George.

"Hey George !" I say, talking in his ear so he could hear me.

"Hey Elyse. . .Elyse what-what are you doing here, where's Cedric ?" He asks, shouting at me so I could hear him over the rumble of the stadium.

"I think you hardly know me at all, I love Quidditch, my dad got me into it last year, I thought I might try out next opportunity, I'm hoping for Captain. I guess that Cedric got a different seat-he tried to get the ones next to us but they were already bought" I replied, shouting back.

"Well I guess I'll be glad to see you on the field" He smiles, this time talking in my ear.

"Come on!" I cheered excitedly, waving my arms in the air.

Funny thing. I can't believe he didn't know I was co-captain.

"It's the Irish !" Fred shouts, pointing to five green and white figures flying through the air on their brooms, leaving a coloured trail behind them. A glittering leprechaun appears in the sky and starts dancing. The whole stadium in an uproar of excitement.

"Here come the Bulgarians !" George shouts, pointing to five red figures. One of members lift himself off his broom while one hand grasps onto it, he lands back on, he appears on screen.

The crowd chants : 'Krum,Krum,Krum'

"Krum!!!!" I squeal in excitement.

"Yes!" George says giving his twin a high five over my head. Viktor Krum waves to the crowd.

"Good Evening! It gives me great pleasure to welcome each and everyone of you to the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. Let the match begin!" Cornileus Fudge announces, taking his wand from his throat sending a sparkling ball to whisk through the air.

***********************

The match finishes, I walk closely behind my dad through the maze of stairs, before a hand grabs me and pulls me to the side.

"So what house did you say you were in again ?" George asks, leaning over me.

"I didn't" I laugh, at his failed attempt to get to say my house. If he knew, he wouldn't like me.

No one ever does. Except Cedric.

Ducking my head out underneath his arms, he grabs my arm again. Man he's persistent. I look back at him. 

"What ?!" I ask hurriedly, so I could try and get back to my dad before I lost him.

"Will I see you on the train ?" He asks, I turn to face him fully.

"You'll just have to wait and see" I smile jokingly, releasing myself from his grasp and briskly walking away, thankfully finding my dad, walking back to our tent.
