Chapter Twenty-One: The Goblet Of Fire

"Madeline, is going to be able to see Harry soon." Fred teased me.

"I don't like Harry." I couldn't hide the red flush of my cheeks.

"Okay, but at your wedding all you're going to hear is 'I told you so'." Ron laughed causing me to blush harder.

"Fine, maybe a little." I whispered to Ginny. "But who do you like?" She shrugged.

"I guess that's a secret, isn't it?" I groaned.

"Come on, I'm your twin. You have to tell me." she shook her head.

"I don't really have my eyes on a-anyone just yet." she smiled slightly.

"Come on, Gin." I laughed, nudging her.

"I said I didn't!" she said, her cheerful tone dropping.

"Okay.." I backed up into the kitchen.

"What's up with her?" Ron asked me.

"I don't even know. You think I said something?" I shifted nervously.

"I don't think so.." he replied hesitantly.

"Give her some room for a little bit though."  I nodded. Ginny and I have never really gotten into any fights. I have rarely seen her yelling, so this kind of scared me.

"She'll be okay." Ron reassured me.

"Let's not let this get you down, yeah?" I nodded and the cheer returned. I was going back to Hogwarts soon.

"Harry is going to be here any minute now so act natural." Ron teased.

"Oh please, I'm nature itself." I giggled and they rolled their eyes.

"Bed time!" we heard mum yell from downstairs.

"I'll go shush her up," Ron shuffled down the stairs and I followed.

"Mum, can't we wait until Harry gets here, please?" she shook her head.

"Nonsense," the teapot on the stove shrieked. "that'll be way too late. You have school tomorrow!" We both groaned. I was way too excited.

"Well?" Ginny asked as soon as she saw us in the room.

"She said no." Ron flopped onto the bed. I crawled into the bed next to his.

"I am way too excited to sleep now." he chuckled and I smiled slightly.

"Me too, but I think I can manage." I rolled my eyes.

"Ron, you can always sleep. It's exhausting just watching you." I pulled my covers up to my chin and rolled over onto my side. After about 10 minutes, I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up to the sound of shuffling. I sat up slightly rubbing my eyes and turned my lamp on.

"Harry?" I muttered. Harry was in a hard sweat. He was having a nightmare. I jumped out of bed.

"Harry? Harry." I shook him awake.

"Are you alright?" I said with worry obvious on my face.

"Madeline, bad dream." he smiled a little.

"O-okay, when did you get here?"

"Late last night, around 1:00 maybe?" I nodded and right as I was going to crawl back in bed, someone came up the stairs.

"Madeline," she sighed. "good, your awake." I nodded and she looked at Harry.

"Ron," Ron woke up with wide eyes. "wake up!"

"Bloody hell!" Ron pulled the covers up to cover up his exposed chest. I laughed and he glared at me.

"And don't go back to sleep, your mother says breakfast is ready." Ron groaned as Harry and I jumped up.

"It's not even light out." I groaned, stepping down the stairs.

"Well, kids. We have a special plan for today. Your father planned it." Mom smiled and I sat down.

"Can I just have some orange juice, please?" she nodded and placed a small cup in front of me.

"Where are we going anyway?" Ginny asked, stepping over a large stone.

"Hey dad," I yelled up to him. "where are we going?"

"Haven't the foggiest," he shrugged and I stood confused. "keep up!" We sprinted back up to the group and walked with Harry.

We came up to a tree in the middle of the forest and saw a man standing there with- camping supplies?

"Everyone," dad shook his hand. "this is Amos Diggory." I looked over at him and smiled.

"It's nice to meet y-" I jumped back as something fell from the tree.

"You must be his son, am I right?" dad smiled, completely not fazed. He looked down at me and chuckled a little bit.

"Sorry about that. I'm Cedric." he smiled and kissed my hand.

"I-I'm M-Madeline." I felt my cheeks heat up. He smiled and walked to the front of the group. Fred nudged my shoulder.

"Oh shut up." I groaned. Once we exited the forest, all I could see was hilly plains.

"Dad, where are we?" I looked around as we were coming up a rather big hill.

"Almost there, Madeline." I tucked my hair behind my ear and continued walking.

"Here we are." we stopped at the top of the hill.

"But, there's only a bo-"

"Precisely." he nodded.

"Everyone ready?" they all nodded but I stood there confused.

"Why are we all standing by a worn down boot?"

"It's not any old boot, Maddie." Fred chimed.

"It's a portkey." George pulled me up to the boot and told me to grab it. Dad started counting down and it was like we got zapped into another reality. We were all spinning and I felt like I was going to vomit.

"Let go." What? There was no way I was-

I suddenly felt my hand slip and started falling. I screamed and I looked down at the ground, quickly approaching. I landed flat on my back and my stomach started stinging. Cedric, Dad, and Amos came down as if it were easy. I groaned and rolled onto my side.

"Are you alright?" I looked up to see Cedric extending a hand.

"I think so." he pulled me up and smiled.

"Thanks." he sprinted forward and-

Was that a broom? I thought I just saw a broom. Once we came to the top of the hill, it came to me.

We were at the Quidditch World Cup!

"Oh my Godric! I have always wanted to come here!" Ginny and Hermione pulled me along with the family, pointing to many players on the way.

"Here we are." Dad pointed to a small tent.

"Dad, how exactly are we going to all fit in here." he smiled.

"That's what magic is for." I slowly pushed my way into the tent to see the extraordinary view. It was like a house. Dad came and pat me on the shoulder.

"We get to choose a bunk first." Ginny laughed and stuck her tongue out at Ron, who did it back.

"Children." I muttered.

"I'm older than you!" he shouted.

"And I'm smarter." I winked and tossed my bag onto the top bunk. We decided to go exploring before the World Cup started. Ginny and Hermione followed me to the concession stand.

"Woah, how far up are we?" I smiled, holding onto the railing.

"Well put it this way," I heard a rotten voice growl. I remember it from the library. "if it rains, you'll be the first to feel it." I scoffed and looked at Draco.

"My father and I are in the Minister's Box. Personal invitation by Cornelius Fudge himself." Draco boasted.

"That's cool!" I smiled and Ron nudged me.

"Don't boast, Draco. There's no need with these people." he shoved Draco's stomach.

"What is that supposed to mean." I jumped down.

"It means, some people are better than others." Lucius towered over me and I gave him a death glare. Fred pulled me back up to where we were.

"Arthur, contain your pets." I scoffed angrily and turned around.

"Do enjoy yourself," he said as he stopped us. "while you can." He smirked and I ran up the steps.

"Maddie, he's irrelevant." I sighed and nodded, standing next to Ron and Hermione. The fireworks went off and the players flew around. We all cheered as the game began.

"That is the best seeker in the world!" Fred cheered.

"Krum!" we all smiled as the stand animated to his flying as the match started.

"May I have this dance?" Fred laughed.

"Why certainly." he took me into an Irish dance as everyone was singing some song around us. I couldn't stop laughing. I heard a scream from outside the tent and I stopped dancing.

"What's wrong sis?" I shrugged and dad went to see.

"Krum and Ron! Victor I love you, Victor I do! When your away, my heart beats only for you." Harry and George laughed.

"Stop! We have to get out of here, now!" I peeked outside and saw fire. I gasped and ran out with everyone else.

"Get back to the portkey everyone and stick together!" Ginny and Hermione went off, along with Ron and Harry, Fred and George,  Percy and Bill, and Charlie and Dad.

"Guys?" I asked, looking for someone.

"Fred, George. Maddie is your responsibility!" they nodded and I ran off with them. I saw a bunch of people with triangular hats on. I looked away and a fire exploded. It knocked me over to the other side. There was now a tall flame in between us.

"Fred, George!" I screamed. They hesitated.

"Run Maddie, find the portkey!" they shouted and I ran the opposite way. As I turned around, someone grabbed me. I screamed and looked up to see it was one of the men.

"Help!" I screamed and I saw somebody look over. They hesitated on running but left. I struggled out of their grip and started running. I tripped on a rock in the path and fell to the ground. I tried to get up but people were practically running on top of me. The last thing I saw was the army of people before black took over.

All these characters belong to J.K. Rowling. All credit goes to her for some of the plot and all of setting (characters, etc.) I made Maddie Weasley, that is it. I am just a girl who wants to write fanfictions.

Another rather long chapter. I lost track of words. I hope you like it. It's another start of another part.
