Looking around we were greeted by two men wearing the weirdest attires. One wore a tweed suit with thigh length galoshes and the other a kilt and a poncho.
"Morning Basil." said Mr Weasley handing over the portkey.
"Oh hello Arthur. Not on duty heh? It's alright for some..we've been here all night. You better get out of the way we are expecting a huge party from the black forest. Weasley, your camp manager is Mr Roberts, first site and Diggory second site look for Mr Payne." said the kilted dude.
We set off and said goodbye to the Diggorys as we came to the first site. The site manager was a Muggle and I instantly recognized him from the people being tortured in my dream. I went pale. We paid him and then came the setting up of the tents. Harry and Hermione set them up with the constant hinderance that was Mr Weasley. Ginny, Hermione and I crawled into the girls tent. It was bigger than it looked with three beds in it and a bathroom.
When we got back outside Mr Weasley said. "Harry, Ron and Hermione can go get us some water while the rest get firewood. Miley, where do you think you are going? You need to sleep." said Mr Weasley
"But I'm fine." even as I said it, I stood unsteady on my feet. I sighed. "Have fun!" I called to Fred George and Ginny.
"Hey Mr Weasley where's Ginny's mp3 player? I need to fix it." I said.
"Oh yes it is here. I was trying to make the Muggles in the picture outside it move but they wouldn't!" he exclaimed.
"I'll fix it, don't worry." I said getting into the tent. I instantly fell asleep though.
Ginny woke me up when they returned and by the time I went outside Mr Weasley was playing with the matches.
"You've been ages." said George when Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived.
"Met a few people. You haven't got the fire started yet?" asked Ron.
"Dad's having fun with the matches." said Fred. I noticed Harry had dripped water down his front.
"What happened to you?" I asked and he blushed as Ron answered for him.
"Cho Chang happened." he said. Mood killer.
At last we got the fire to light but it was another hour before it was hot enough to cook anything. However we had plenty to occupy us meanwhile. Our tent was located alongside a thoroughfare to the field as Ministry wizards kept passing through it and greeting Mr Weasley.
"That was Cuthberth Nockrigde, head of the Goblin Liason office... Hello Arnie.. Arnold Wimble with the office on Experimental Charms he's had those horns for a while... Peasegood he's an Obliviator and that's Bode and Croaker they are Unspeakables."said Mr Weasley.
"What?" asked Harry.
"Work in the department of mysteries, no idea what they get up to." said Mr Weasley.
"That is also where my mum worked. She was an Unspeakable too right?" I asked.
"Yes. But I never really knew her." he added.
We had just finished cooking eggs and sausages when Bill, Charlie and Percy arrived.
Halfway through lunch, Mr Weasley stood up." Ah the man of the moment, Ludo." he said as a man wearing bright yellow robes with a wasp plastered at the centre of them came to us.
"Arthur old man! Couldn't have asked for a finer weather. Cloudless night coming." said the wizard joining us. Percy was first to greet him as Mr Weasley introduced us to him. I moved closer to the twins when he asked if anyone wanted a bet on the World Cup outcome.
"Bet that Ireland will win but Krum will catch the snitch. Trust me guys. I know nothing about Quidditch but I have never lost a bet." I told them and on that they bet all their money and a fake wand. I felt uncomfortable as they spoke about Bertha Jorkins being missing as I knew she was dead. Percy piped up when his boss, Mr Crouch arrived. The man was dressed like a banker.
"Mr Crouch, would you like a cup of tea?" he asked.
"Yes, thank you Weatherby."
I got bored as the adults started talking about flying carpets and ministry stuff and started fixing the mp3 player.
"I don't know when I've had so much fun, still plenty left to organise, eh Barty? I mean it's happening at Hogwarts." said Bagman but Crouch wouldn't let him yield the information. I knew he was talking about the Triwizard Tournament.
The rest of the day was great. Ginny and I went around greeting people. We saw Seamus and Dean, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, a couple of Ginny's friends and Luna Lovegood, a weird girl in Ginny's year.
"Oh my goodness Miley, there's your 'friend' Zabini." Ginny whispered.
"What? How do I look?" I asked in panic.
"Camilla! Hi, I didn't expect to see you here and um hi, Weaslette." said Blaise when he reached us. Ginny merely nodded.
"Hi Blaise. How are you?" I asked facing him.
"Don't I even get a hug?" he said and I blushed as I hugged him. I could feel Ginny trying not to laugh behind me and I went even redder.
"How is the holiday? Do you want to meet my mother?" he asked.
"Um, you know, I'm in a hurry so I'll see you around. Bye" I said hurrying off to Ginny.
"You definitely like him." she said.
"Don't be silly." I changed the subject "Hey look, figurines of Viktor Krum! Can I have two please?"I said to the salesman. "I have lots of money that my dad sent to me so I'll buy us some omnioculars too." I said.
Ginny bought us a banner for Ireland and some programmes.
As soon as we arrived back at the tent, a gong sounded. As one we made our way to the field.
