"Time to get up Adelaide," Hermione whispered as she shook Adelaide slightly. Adelaide opened her eyes and frowned.

"Hermione, it's still dark outside."

"Mum said it's time to go," Ginny said as she made her bed. Adelaide sighed and got up. The three got ready and headed downstairs afterwards. "Why do we have to be up so early?" Ginny groaned as she made her way to sit down at the table.

Harry spotted Adelaide and smiled at her. "Good morning Adelaide."

"Good morning."

"We have to walk for a bit," Mr. Weasley said, answering Ginny's question. Harry's eyebrows furrowed. "Walk? Are we walking to the World Cup?" Mr. Weasley laughed. "No, no Harry. We are just walking to a Portkey. It's just a short walk from here."

"Have a lovely time!" Mrs. Weasley called out as they all started to leave. "We will!" Ginny responded back.

"Over here, Arthur!" They heard someone call out after walking for a while. "Amos!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed and walked towards the man. They gave each other a hug and then Mr. Weasley turned back around to face the rest. "This is Amos Diggory everyone. He works for the Ministry of Magic with me, just in a different department. Ah! And this is his son Cedric."

"Hello," Cedric said looking at them. "Hello," Hermione, Harry, and Ginny responded back. Adelaide only gave a smile and Goerge and Fred only nodded.

They started walking again; Mr. Diggory and Mr. Weasley continued talking to each other. "All these yours Arthur?" Mr. Diggory asked.

"Oh! No only the redheads," Mr. Weasley said. "This is Hermione, friend of Ron's, and this is Harry, another friend-"

"Harry Potter?" Mr. Diggory gasped. Harry scratched his neck, "Erm, yes that's me." "Ced's talked about you! Told me about playing against you in Quidditch!" Mr. Diggory exclaimed.

Before Mr. Diggory could go on, Cedric interrupted. "And who must you be?" He asked looking at Adelaide. "Adelaide Rosewood," Adelaide responded. "Ah! Rosewood. I've heard about you, Draco's girlfriend, right?" Adelaide's eyes widened as she felt herself flush pink. Before she could correct him, Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. "I think you heard wrong Diggory, she's my girlfriend."

Cedric gave a shocked expression. "Oh really? My bad then."

Mr. Weasley cleared his throat. "Here we are!" He then turned to look at Harry, Hermione, and Adelaide. "You just need to touch the Portkey, alright?" The three nodded and they all turned to crowd around an old boot.

Then suddenly, Adelaide shut her eyes tightly as she felt the wind around her. The pressure of the wind was strong. She could feel herself be lifted up. Then slammed to the ground. Adelaide opened her eyes and groaned, rubbing her bum. She wasn't the only one there on the ground. Harry and Hermione were also on the ground.

After they got everything settled in their tent, they headed to the stadium.

"Blimey Dad, how far up are we?" Ron exclaimed as they continued walking up the stairs.

"Well just put it this way, if it rains, you'll be the first to know."

They all turned to look below them, where Draco, Mr. Malfoy, and a woman stood. Adelaide assumed it was Draco's mother.

Draco and Adelaide locked eyes for a moment, before he looked away and started to walk closer to the Weasley's. "Father and I are in the minister's box by personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself," he said proudly. Mr. Malfoy stepped forward, placing a hand on Draco's shoulder. "Don't boast Draco. There's no need with these people. Do enjoy yourself won't you? While you can."

Mr. Malfoy then turned to his side and spotted Cornelius Fudge. He walked over to go and talk to him, followed by his wife. The twins scoffed and also walked away, along with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Adelaide stood still, keeping her eyes on Draco. Draco as well lingered behind for a moment, his eyes still on Adelaide, before sending her a small smile, in which she returned, and walked away.

"Slimey gits," Adelaide heard Ron mutter under his breath as she caught up with them. She narrowed her eyes, then smiled to herself. Draco had grown taller, but he was still as handsome as before. Adelaide then thought back to when Draco had confessed to her. She bit her lip and shook the thought away. She can't be thinking about that. She's with Harry and his father wouldn't even allow it.

"Adelaide?" She heard Harry's voice, bringing her out of her thoughts. "Hm?"

"Nothing, you just seem to have spaced out."
