"Just a jinx here, and a hex there." Kennilworthy continued working on the snitch. "And, done."

It was past eight, all the students left home to enjoy their summer. Kennilworthy was the only left in the common room.

"I guess I should pack up my things and stay at mum and dad's for little." Kennilworthy said walking up to the boys' dormitory. "I'm sure they won't mind."

Once Kennilworthy finished packing he took out the snitch.

"I guess one trip wouldn't hurt, just a test run."

He put the snitch in front of him and called, "Bucharest, Romania 1803."

All around Kennilworthy were swirls  of blue, purple, and white. Suddenly he was standing in  the middle of a road filled with people and horse carriages.

"It worked, it really worked." Kennilworthy said examining the snitch. "I guess I should find when the next quidditch match is."

Kennilworthy walked around the city, looking around for any quidditch shops or players to ask.

After minutes of walking he found a shop named Magazinul de chestii with a quaffle and two broomsticks in a wooden sign.

"Must be a quidditch shop, I'll see if they speak English." Kennilworthy said walking up into the shop.

"Bună ziua domnule, vă pot ajuta?" The shop keeper said.

"I'm sorry, I'm traveling from England." Kennilworthy answered.

"Ah of course, here for the World Cup or are you? Where did you educate?" a man with a strong Romanian accent came walking in from the back. "Name's Alexandru, I can show you where the cup will be held."

"Thank you sir, I'm Kennilworthy Whisp and I was educated at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Kennilworthy replied to the man.

"I just have one question Mr. Whisp." Alexandru said walking out from behind the corner. "Why are you coming to see Romania against Belarus, its all eastern Europe."

Kennilworthy looked at him. "Well I want to see what quidditch is like in different countries, I've seen Americans at world cups in Ireland." Kennilworthy said.

"Couldn't be American, traveling around countries are harder these days. Especially with everyone using all their galleons on cures for Dragon Pox." Alexandru said leading Kennilworthy outside the shop.

"Dragon Pox? But doesn't the outbreak begin in 1889?" Kennilworthy said realizing what he just said. "I meant 1789."

Alexandru looked at him. "Come on boy where have you been living, the Dragon Pox outbreak is all over Europe and North America, worse up by Finland they say."

"Ah yes of course, sorry travels." Kennilworthy said catching up to Alexandru.

The two pasted through Bucharest passing each shop of merchants trying to bribe them to buy something. 

Finally they made it up to a field with a hill.

"Just over that hill is a grand arena, newly built." Alexandru said.

"Thank you sir, and may I ask, when exactly does the cup take place?" Kennilworthy said walking up to the hill.

"Merlin's beard boy its like you're living in a cupboard in Siberia." Alexandru said walking away. "Tomorrow night at eight, don't forget now."

"Right!" Kennilworthy called back. He began to walk up the hill.

It didn't take long, when he finally made it to the top, a great view of the newly built arena was shown.
