Both Y/N and Ellie had their things packed and were ready to leave. It was currently eight thirty in the morning and they were saying goodbye to their siblings, whom had been informed that they'd be spending a few nights at a friend's house, instead of at a roaring stadium filled with weirdos on broomsticks.

They were now sitting in the hallway by the front door, awaiting Bill.

"So... the Quaffle is what the players score the goals with?" Ellie asked curiously.

Y/N nodded. "And the Bludgers are responsible for knocking all the players off their brooms. The Snitch is small and is caught by the Seeker, and ends the match."

"I can't wait to see it!" Ellie said happily.

"You've packed a few cans of tinned food with you, right?" Annie asked anxiously.

"Nope. The tent comes with a little cupboard that magically keeps food from going bad." Y/N explained. "So we've got enough for three meals a day for at least four days if the match goes on for too long."

"You've really thought this through." Annie said, a hint of pride in her voice.

"Of course." Y/N nodded. "You said it yourself, I'll be responsible for Ellie, so I have to make sure we're properly fed."

There was a sudden ring of the doorbell. Ellie gave a squeal of excitement. Y/N got up from his armchair and opened the door.

Anyone could immediately tell that the handsome young man on the other side was a Weasley. His flaming red hair and freckles were a dead giveaway. However, what Y/N had not expected was a Weasley who actually knew how to dress like a Muggle. Despite his long hair tied into a ponytail, and fanged earring, he was wearing a crisp white shirt and jeans, and looked as ordinary as any other Muggle on the street.

"You must be Y/N," he smiled, holding his hand out for Y/N to shake.

As Y/N took it, Bill's face suddenly shifted into a scowl. "Mandeville's boy, aren't you?"

Y/N's grip on Bill's hand suddenly tightened very slightly. His expression turned from welcoming to daring. Then, Bill broke out into a large grin.

"I had you there, didn't I?" he laughed. "I've got no problem with you, Y/N. If you managed to get half of my family to like you, then you can't be as bad as my parents make out."

Y/N's mouth twisted into a slightly amused smile as he let go of Bill's hand. "Yeah, you almost got me there."

"This is Ellie, then?" Bill said, giving Ellie a very brotherly smile.

Ellie seemed to be slightly intimidated by the tall man with the fanged earring, and hid behind Y/N.

"Ellie... don't be rude." Y/N said softly.

Bill stepped closer to Ellie, and held out a bronze Knut. "You see this coin?" he said, in a gentle tone. Ellie have a sheepish nod.

"No, you don't." Bill said. The coin suddenly vanished from behind his hand.

Ellie stared at his empty hands, shocked. "Huh? Where did it -"

"Hm? What's this?" Bill muttered, reaching behind Ellie's ear and pulling out the little bronze coin. "Look what I've found!"

"Wow!" Ellie's shy demeanour was out of the window before it could even be properly accepted. "Was that magic? Are you a wizard?!" she squeaked excitedly, jumping up and down in excitement.

Y/N suddenly broke into hysterical laughter, Bill joined in.

"Hm?" Ellie said, an adorably confused pout on her face. "What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?"
