Quidditch final part 124

Eventually they reached the top of the hill.

"Right everyone look for the portkey." Said Mr Weasley.

"Father there is an easier way." Said Percy. "Accio!"

All of a sudden a mouldy looking boot flew across from further away.

"Hey!" Called a voice.

The party turned to see tall a middle-aged man with a slightly stubby face run after the floating boot while a familiar tall boy in his late teens following him. Percy had the boot float about in front of him.

"Hey Cedric!" Called Harry happily.

The boy turned and smiled at his Gryffindor rival. "Hey Harry, Emma, everyone."

The others gave their greetings too.

Emma noted that Demelza was looking quite interestingly at Cedric. Then again Hermione wasn't exactly averting her eyes. Even Ginny seemed to look at him with some interest. She herself had to concede that he was very handsome.

"Well is there are still a few minutes before the portkey leaves." Said Mr Diggory. "Do you know of anyone else round here that is due to arrive?"

Mr Weasley shook his head. "The Lovegoods have been there a week now. The Fawcetts couldn't get tickets, no one else from our side of the hill has tried. You?"

"No, we're the only ones as well." Said Mr Diggory. "I suppose we'd all best take up positions. It will be rather crowded."

"If you like I could take a few by side-along apparation?" Said Percy.

"That might be a good idea." Said Mr Weasley. "But do you know where to go?"

"Yes father, I risk assessed the arrival point." Said Percy. "Emma, Ginny, care to join me?"

Emma and Ginny looked at each other shrugged and left with him.

"I hate Apparating." Remarked Emma on arrival.

"I still think it's better than the Knight Bus." Said Ginny.

"You get used to it eventually." Said Percy. "I personally think it's much more comfortable than a Portkey."

The three of them had materialised on the side of a deserted hill. Deserted that is except for two ministry officials who'd badly attempted to dress as Muggles.

A minute or so passed before the portkey group arrived, most of them on their bums, and were directed towards a campsite some twenty minutes' walk away. The Diggorys' tent was at a different site so they said goodbye before confronting Mr Roberts who had to be obliviated before his transaction with the Weasley-plus party could be finished.

"It'll be a bit of a squeeze but I think we'll be fine." Said Mr Weasley. "The girls' tent is just next to ours."

"A bit of a squeeze?" Said Demelza incredulously. "This things a blimmin' TARDIS."

"What's a TARDIS?" Asked Mr Weasley in confusion.
