Harry
It's been a month since our stay with the Weasleys, and Aria and I have started accepting our relationship more. We haven't kissed yet, but I really want to kiss her. It's the early morning, and I had a nightmare. I watched as someone was walking through a house, and then I saw someone else with Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew). I heard a screechy voice, and then a green light flashed. I heard Hermione calling "Harry! Harry!" I woke up, and I was drenched in sweat. Aria was standing in the doorway, and she looked worried. Hermione went to Ron and pulled the blanket off of him. He woke up, and she said "it's the World Cup today!" She walked out, and then Ron walked downstairs for breakfast. Aria came in, and said "Harry, did you have another nightmare?" Aria knows I have nightmares, but I don't like telling her. I shook my head, and she said "Harry, tell me." She held my hand, and I started with "there was a man. With Wormtail, and he killed another man." She looked worried, and I said "don't worry. We'll find out what it means later. But for now, we have a World Cup to watch." She smiled, and then there was an awkward silence. We looked at each other, and slowly started getting closer. As we were about to kiss, I heard Mrs. Weasley yell "Harry! Aria! Breakfast is ready!" We backed away, and then Aria and I walked downstairs. Hermione saw us, and smiled at Aria.

Aria
Aww man! We almost kissed, but Mrs. Weasley called us down for breakfast! Hermione smiled at me when she saw us, but I just sat down next to her. She gave me the 'you kissed' look, but I gave her the 'almost' look. She gave me the 'next time' look, and we had breakfast. Hermione and I have always been able to communicate through looks. After breakfast, we got dressed, and then headed outside. Harry came next to me and held my hand as we walked up this hill. There was a boot on top, and Mr. Weasley said "alright, everyone touch it in 3, 2, 1!" I touched it, and so did Harry. Everyone else did, and then we were in the sky. When we landed, I fell on top of Harry. My cheeks started going pink, and I got off saying "sorry Harry." "It's fine," he said, and I helped him up. Oh yeah, we met a boy named Cedric Diggory and his dad. He fell out of a tree when we met him, and he made me jump. Anyway, we were now at the World Cup. I've always wanted to be here! We walked to our tent, and as everyone went in, Harry and I stayed back. When the last person went in, I asked Harry "can we try again?" He nodded, and we slowly leaned in. Ron popped his head out and said "are you guys coming in?" Harry and I once again jumped away, and then I said "we'll be there in a second." He nodded, and went back inside. I turned to Harry and sighed. He said "when can we get some privacy here?" I giggled, and we walked in the tent. It was huge on the inside! I heard Harry mutter "I love magic." I agreed, and then we headed to the pitch. On our way up, we saw the Malfoys, and Draco started picking a fight. His dad told him to stop, and I instantly said "shut your mouth, Malfoy." He answered back "well, Potter's got a girlfriend hasn't he?" Harry stepped in and said "leave her alone, Malfoy." We were about to walk away, when Harry was held back. Lucius had caught Harry's sweater with his stick, and told him something. Harry walked away, and he said "I can't believe he talked to you like that." I said "it's fine. If I can survive Dudley talking to me the way he does, Draco is nothing." We laughed, and then we got to our seats. They left two seats for us to sit next to each other.

After the match

The match is over, and Ireland won against Bulgaria! Ron is obsessed with Victor Krum. I was standing next to Harry, and he had is arms crossed. He uncrossed them, and the guys started singing a song. We were having such a good time, when we heard screams from outside the tent. We looked outside, and there were death eaters with torches, and people running. Mr. Weasley said "run!" And I ran holding Harry's hand. Somewhere in there, Harry's hand slipped from mine, and I looked back. I saw Harry fall, and then I crouched down next to him. He was knocked out, and I stayed with him. Someone kicked me while they ran, and I fell on top of Harry. Will we be ok?

Harry
I just woke up because someone kicked my head while they were running. Aria was on top of me, and I sat up quickly. I held her and said "Aria? Please, wake up! Aria?" Her eyes slowly opened, and then she looked shocked. I helped her stand up, and then told her "Aria, why did you come back for me?" She said "I couldn't leave you here." I gave a small smile, and then said "let's find everyone else." Just when we said that, a mark appeared in the sky. Aria's hand jumped to mine, and I held it. We heard Hermione calling our names, so we ran in that direction. I could tell Aria was really scared. When we found them, she ran up to her mom.

Aria
We found everyone else, and I ran to my mom. My mom hugged me tight and said "why did you go back?" I said "I couldn't leave Harry on the floor!" She hugged me and said "I'm glad you're ok." I hugged her back, but then a man walked up to us. Everything was a blur, and we now had arrived home. I decided I wanted to tell my mom. I'm 14 now, which is the age my mom allows me to date. First, I went to my room with Harry privately, because I wanted him to know I was telling my mom. He sat down, and asked "what's wrong?" I started with "Harry, I want to tell my mom about us." Harry gave a small smile and said "that's fine." I smiled, and told him I would come back. He nodded, and I walked towards my mom. I asked her "mom, can I tell you something in private?" Even though my mom is going to tell the Weasleys, I wanted her to know first. She asked "what do you want to tell me about?" I took a deep breath, and then said "you know how I like Harry, right?" She nodded with a smile, and I then said "we're dating now." She had a look of shock, and then smiled. "Don't worry, I approve." We laughed, and then we walked back to what we were doing. I went upstairs as I heard my mom quietly say "did you two know Harry and Aria are dating?" I entered the room now, and told him "she approves." He smiled and hugged me. When we pulled away, we stared into each other's eyes, and started leaning in slowly. We were so close, but then there was a knock on the door. Agh! We had jumped away again, and Harry said "why can't we get some privacy?" I giggled, and opened the door. Ron and Hermione were outside. Hermione saw Harry, and said "we'll wait a few seconds. I smiled and gave her a 'thank you' look, and she nodded. I closed the door, and said "it's Ron and Hermione, but they want to wait a few seconds." Harry smiled, and we stared into each other's eyes again. We started leaning in slowly, and then our lips touched. My arms went on his shoulders, and his arms went on my waist. I felt a million sparks, and we kissed for about 5 seconds. When we pulled away, I giggled, and then went to open the door. Harry had a hugged smile on his face. Ron and Hermione entered the room, and we sat together. Harry went to hold my hand, and I smiled. I held his hand, and felt sparks going up my arm. Hermione asked "so, how are you two doing?" Ron smiled and said "I think if you look at their hands, you'll know." We laughed, and then talked the rest of the night. This was the best feeling I've ever had.
