After lunch there was run in with Ludo Bagman in which the twins bet all of their money while I scolded them. Then Mr. Barty Crouch stopped by and began discussing something with Mr. Weasley. The twins nearly choked on the tea they were drinking when Mr. Crouch called Percy by the name of 'Weatherby'.

At dusk, Ginny, the twins and I strolled through the camp. Wizards and witches of all origins kept popping up, carrying trays and pushing carts loaded with merchandise. Fred and George had given Bagman all their money so they just watched jealously as Ginny and I shuffled through souvenirs. 

We each bought a dancing shamrock pin to show our support for Ireland. I also bought a pair of Omnioculars and gave one to Ginny. 

A gong sounded somewhere off in the distance when Mr. Weasley said, "It's time! Come on, lets go!"

Mr. Weasley led us along a lantern lit path to a gigantic stadium. The energy in the air was incredible. A mix of pure magic and excitement seemed to flow through everyone's veins and it was highly infectious. No one could seem to keep the grins off their faces. 

"Prime seats!" A ministry witch chirped when we passed her our tickets. "Top Box! Straight upstairs, Arthur, and as high as you can go!"

We climbed up the stairs until finally reaching the top box. There were about twenty chairs situated in the small space. The Weasley's and company took up the first row completely. I sat myself in between Fred and George while Ginny sat at the end next to George. 

"Oi! L/n! Don't you want to sit next to your fiance?" Charlie shouted at me from his spot next to Bill. 

I rolled my eyes and said, "Charlie? I already told you, I'm far too good for you. It just wouldn't work!" 

He gasped. "Are you telling me that you want a divorce?!"

"You'd have to be married to get a divorce, git! And to have a breakup, you'd have to be in a relationship!" I shouted back. 

He turned to Bill, "Can you believe this? I get engaged and dumped on the same day! And to think, I gave her some of the best hours of my life!"

We all laughed while Percy rolled his eyes.

"I can't wait for the game to start." Fred mumbled excitedly.

I skimmed through a velvet clad program while announcing, "It says here that there will be 'A display from the team mascots' preceding the match."

"Dad says that's always worth watching." George commented. 

"Well, I wish they'd hurry up. I want to see Ireland crush Bulgaria." Ginny exclaimed excitedly.

I nodded in agreement as I let my eyes wander around the stadium. After about half an hour the minister of magic, Cornelius Fudge, showed up. He instantly gravitated towards Harry and introduced his to important wizards and witches from all over the world.

I was testing out my Omnioculars when I recognized a cold voice from behind me. 

Draco Malfoy stood there with his father and mother. Mr. Fudge acknowledged them and began introducing them to the Bulgarian minister, then to Mr. Weasley, who the Malfoy's had always clashed with. 

The moment was incredibly tense. Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy seemed to be staring each other down.

"Good lord, Arthur," Lucius spoke, "What did you have to sell to get seats in the Top Box? Surely your house wouldn't have fetched this much?"
