It took a couple of hours for them to set up, and Harry was flabbergasted when he entered the tiny tent. How something so small on the outside could be so spacious inside was something he found incredible, proving that the possibilities of magic would never cease to amaze him. Afterwards, they settled in and unpacked some of their things. During this process Harry and the others met the likes of the retired professional quidditch player Ludo Bagman, ministry worker Barty Crouch, and various other witches and wizards who had heard of his presence in the area. After gathering some firewood and completing other menial tasks, everyone finally sat down for lunch, using this time to relax.

Finishing their meals, Harry, Ron, and, Hermione decided to walk around the campsite. They ran into a few of their classmates while looking around and stumbled upon a vendor, the trio excitedly inspecting the different trinkets and enchanted gadgets that were for sale. Harry purchased a few things, and coerced Ron into letting him buy him some omninoculars. With his purchased items in his hands, Harry turned to walk back to their tent, instead running into someone who had not been paying attention, resulting in him being knocked off of his feet. He heard a crunch as he landed on something and was disappointed to see that his omninoculars had been the source of the noise.

"Oh gods, I'm sorry." said the culprit who had knocked him down. The man held out his hand and Harry instinctively grabbed it, pulling himself up. He then realized who he had just run into was no other than Cedric Diggory. Harry rolled his eyes, and picked up his destroyed omninoculars sighing with frustration. "Oh, um, I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot let me buy you a new pair." He said speedily a look of embarrassment adorned on his face, passing Harry up to the vendor to replace the broken pair.

"No, it's alright... Don't worry about it. Ron has a pair, we can just share them" he said clearly irritated while he purposefully avoided eye contact. Harry felt as though Cedric was going to insist, so he turned, and started walking to the direction of their tent his two friends following closely behind. The time they spent walking back consisted of Harry seething in silence, Ron insulting the Hufflepuff, and Hermione being the voice of reason explaining that 'Cedric hadn't anything intentionally wrong' and that 'both boys were overreacting'. Unfortunately Harry had to admit it: Hermione was right, but that bloke for one reason or another just irritated Harry.

They got back to the tent and greeted the others, showing them all what they had purchased. The day started to reach its end and everyone continued to socialize and play games, Ron beating Harry three times at Wizard's Chess before the golden boy gave up in defeat."Someday I'll kick your arse you know" he teased.

"In your dreams, Harry, in your dreams", Ron laughed, pleased about his continued winning streak against his friend.

Hermione interrupted analyzing one of Ron's posters he purchased from the vendor,

"Ron, I don't understand why you idolize this Viktor Krum man so much, in all of his photos he looks like a very angry person."

"Who cares if the bloke is angry or not, He's only the greatest seeker ever!" explained Ron, "You're such a girl."

"I am not! Who is the one who turns into a blubbering girl when-" Hermione stopped in mid sentence a look of horror replacing her previous look of annoyance, "Oh Merlin, Ron, a spider!" In response, Ron yelped leaping up from his spot, and bolted across the tent, knocking the chess board ovr, the pieces scattering all over, the usual color of Ron's face completely absent from his current complexion. Everyone laughed much to Ron's dismay, causing him to glare at Hermione. "Point proven" she said sticking her tongue out teasingly. She then picked up The Tempest, a popular muggle play, resuming her reading failing to hold back her obvious amusement. The situation was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat, causing everyone look over at source of the noise. A nervous Cedric Diggory was standing at the entrance of the tent.

"My had father told me your campsite was around here, so I thought I'd bring these," he explained, his grey eyes falling upon Harry, holding some brand new omninoculars, " You know, for breaking your pair." Harry sat there, and just stared at the boy. Hermione leaned forward and shoved Harry with her foot, giving him a look of disapproval. He sighed reluctantly, aware that Hermione was again correct.

He stood up and walked over to Cedric, "I told you it was alright... but thanks." he said, unsure of what else to say.

"No problem, I was the one who wasn't paying attention," he admitted with an earnest look on his face, "I feel better replacing them, so thank you for allowing me to do so." And with that, Cedric turned on his heel, and slipped back into the dark campground. Harry turned around and looked at everyone, their expressions ranging from confusion to contempt.

"Well that wasn't awkward or anything," Said Ron while he cleaned up the chess pieces, "Was a nice thing to do, but he's still a git."

"Ron, it was an accident! You only dislike him because he was the reason Gryffindor lost that game last year. It's ridiculous," Hermione said lecturing him, "You too!" She added, glaring over at Harry and the twins, the three boys recoiling in response to her irritation. The four older Weasley men all looked at each other in confusion, ignorant to what had happened earlier. They shrugged it off and continued their previous activities. Not long after Cedric's visit, everyone decided to get some sleep, exhausted by their long day and eager for tomorrow to come.

Harry stepped onto the grass exiting from the arena, adrenaline from the game pulsing through his veins. His senses heightened, he could feel the slightest breeze hitting his face, smell the soft scent of earth being carried from the surrounding forest, and the sun bathing his flesh in warm rays of light. He had to admit that the World Cup, even though they had run into the Malfoys, was one of the best of his life. He was snapped out of his euphoric trance when he heard Ron, Fred, and George cheer to his right. Harry grinned at his friends with an impossibly happy smile.

"That was the most brilliant thing I've ever seen." Ron roared. He threw his right fist and left leg up into the air, stumbling and nearly falling down from the impulsive action. "Viktor Krum is the god of Quidditch, best seeker that has ever been."

"Catching the snitch even though he had been struck by a bludger? It was bloody brilliant you mean," Added Ginny. Vehemently, everyone agreed with youngest Weasley. Though Hermione stayed silent, even she had to admit she was impressed however she'd never admit it to Ron. She had never been wrong when it came to her red headed friend, and she wasn't about to comment on this atrocity.

They reached the campsite, their excitement sustaining their elevated energy. Ron imitated Krum's signature move, The Wronskei Feint, accidentally tackling an unsuspecting witch who had been walking by their tent. Ron apologized and flushed with humiliation, darting inside their tent to hide. After the unpleased Witch had left, the group dropped to the ground, all clutching their sides with laughter, the twins crying with the hilarity of what they had just witnessed. Bill and Charlie were debating about the game, the two supporting the different teams.

Time passed on, the talk of the game saturating their conversations- Thankfully this helped distract Harry's mind from the strange dreams he had been having, a nice break from the worry they had caused him. Finally, all had became too tired, eventually opting for sleep. Harry lay in bed, curious about the comment Mr. Weasley had made earlier that the excitement of this year was just beginning. He closed his eyes, shrugging off the thought, sleep swiftly overtaking him.
