27) Prelude to Match.....

(Sorry guys problem happening in my personal life right now so this will be slow updates but I will be updating.)

***************************

Like that a week passed and it was time for the Quidditch World Cup Finals, Me and my dad were on opposite sides he went with Bulgaria while I went Ireland, only cause I knew they would win. After saying goodbye to the girls we went by Nissy sending us there, apparently if we didn't it would require a portkey, but since we didn't want to go through that she sent us.

When we arrived the place was covered in tents with wizards running around everywhere, Harry had told the Weasley's that he was coming with someone else so he never went to the burrow. We actually caught attention thanks to our looks, I was already a solid ten, and after Harry was healed up he looked more mature and working out with me let him get buffer.

My dad and Sirius took off after awhile saying they would meet us back at the tent area later, the game wasn't until later so we spent some time just to look around. While we were walking we heard a girls voice sound behind us but she sounded slightly confused, "Harry is that you?" the voice asked.

We turned around and saw it was a teenage Emma Watson with bushy hair looking at us, "Well Harry who is this beautiful girl you have been hiding." I asked teasing him by elbowing him in the side.

He rolled his eyes but his new trade mark crooked smile came out, it made Hermione blush some, "This is my best friend Hermione who I told you about." the girl was stunned hearing best friend.

"Oh that smartest witch of all time you keep going on and on about, she sure is a looker are you sure you two are just friends?" I asked teasing the girl whose face went red while shooting Harry and mock glare but small smile at my comment.

"The one and only and sadly yes we are just friends." Harry went along with it letting out a ling sigh, the new Harry wasn't shy and from what he learned from Sirius I'm sure Hermione here won't be single long.

"W-well who is this then?" Hermione said coming back to herself but she was still blushing from Harry's comment just now.

"My apologies, we can't really rely on Harry here when a pretty girl is near us, My name is Cory Chase, Harry's cousin from his fathers side." It was something the family came up with so that people wouldn't ask to many questions and it was kind of true so I wasn't lying.

"Ah, Nice to meet you. As Harry told you I'm Hermione Granger pleasure." She said reaching out for a handshake which I returned to her. "Harry why don't we go see the Weasley's I'm sure they would love to know you are here, you can tell me all about your summer along the way." she said sending him a shy smile she was still hung up on what he said earlier.

"Umm sure." He said uncertainly but when he looked and me and saw I didn't object he followed along with this plan, Hermione saw the hesitation but didn't comment on it. On the way there they talked up front while I looked around everyone was really pumped for the game and it made me smile, I had never been to a major sporting event so this was new to me.

After walking awhile and Hermione going red as a tomato we saw a family of redheads sitting around a camp fire, it wasn't all of them but it was close enough. When we got there they saw Harry and was stunned, Ron even looked mad which Harry noticed rolling his eyes, he looked back at me and grinned, "Hello there Weasley clan." He said with a smile not showing his real feelings.

Hearing that it was actually him from Hermione they all were shocked still but Ginny sat there with the biggest blush ever not taking her eyes away. "What happen to you mate you look errr... well you look." Ron said trying to make it seem like Harry needed to change back.

"Ronald, I'm fine just had a good summer and worked out some with my cousin here which helped me." Harry said pointing over to me.

I had made my way next to the twins while they were in shock and changed to look at them, everyone was stunned except for the twins who grinned, "Well now," 'Twin 1'

"What do we have here?" Twin two.

"A fellow brother?" I said reading the mind of twin one who was shocked, it was a little pill that let me do it for the next minute.

"Is that you George?" Fred asked asked.

"No I'm right here." George and me said at the same time and raising our right hands.

Fred smiled wider, "He is really one of us huh?"

"Stop that!" We said again at the same time. I took the pill to early though because when he stepped back I didn't follow which let them know that I wasn't the real one, sighing I went back to my normal appearance.

Harry was laughing next to Hermione who looked intrigued, "Well that worked for as long as I wanted, thanks for ruining it by moving George." I said while shaking my head disappointedly.

The two walked over to me and grinned only one speaking though, "Well what do you say we do this more often, we can cause some real mayhem with that abilities of yours." it was Fred who was speaking.

"Right brother he can be our third, even though we are perfect as twins it would always be great to be triplets." George said grinning widely we could hear their mom groaning though at the idea of three of them.

"Well that sounds amazing and all but for now I would like to keep looking around so I will have to say goodbye here." I said with a wave removing myself from them I would talk to them later about store ideas I didn't want to do it in front of the rest of their family, "Ah my name is Cory Chase by the way, Seventh year at Hogwarts see you soon. Harry I will meet you at the tent later don't have to much fun."

I walked away with a hand raised waving at them Harry sounded like he wanted to speak out but he was taken by the twins so he couldn't follow me. I started to walk around and this place was bigger than I thought, I wasn't lost but I didn't recognize anything shrugging I kept moving forward.

After awhile I felt a bump on my side and turning there was a little girl there she didn't look any older that eleven, she had bright blonde hair and blue eyes. Her face still had baby fat on it making her look adorable, she reminded me a lot of Artemis by her dazed look at the moment.

"Sorry about that are you okay?" I asked helping her up.

She blushed and nodded a little, "Sorry I got lost and didn't see where I was going." though she spoke in French I could understand it, but she patted her head realizing that I might not be able to understand her.

(A/N: Even when speaking in English I wont do the accent it is to much work and this a laid back book.)

I smiled at her speaking in French too, "It's fine, to be honest I'm lost myself. I'm Cory Chase by the way, what is your name?"

Her eyes went wide but then she was happy knowing she didn't have to use the difficult English to talk to me, "My name is Gabrielle Delacour." as she introduced herself she curtsied a little no doubt part of her maiden training.

I was shocked hearing the name since she is the girl who was taken in the second task to be Fleur Delacour's hostage, her little sister but I shrugged it off. "Well then little madam, how about we find where you are suppose to be then?"

"Really?! Thank you!" she said happily then hugged my waist before taking my hand, the little quarter-Veela wasn't afraid of me for some reason and accepted right away.

"Okay well then let's walk around until we find your parents then." I said and we started walking around, we were near a whole bunch of American Wizards at the moment.

As we walked around she went on nonstop about her family trying to tell me as much as possible, it was probably because she was still a little nervous from being away from her family. She also went on about her love for Harry Potter, when I told her I knew him she went into a little fangirl mode and started asking millions of questions about him.

I'm not ashamed to say that I told her all the embarrassing things too which just made her fall in love with him more, when she heard everything it was like there was little hearts in her eyes. While we walked we suddenly heard, "Gabrielle!" turning there was a stunning woman who looked like an older version of her coming towards us.

Though she saw her mom she didn't go to her but stayed by my side until the woman got to us, "Mama! Mama this is my friend Cory, he was helping me find you guys." she told he happily hugging the older woman.

Her mom looked at me and gave me a kind smile, "Thank you for helping my daughter Mr. Cory, we would have been looking all night if not for you." she was speaking in French since she heard that Gabrielle didn't switch up.

"It was nothing, I should probably get back to my tent though since the game will be starting soon." I said it was a shame I didn't get to meet Fleur but I would see her at Hogwarts this year so it didn't matter.

"Ahh you are leaving?" Gabrielle asked looking sad it was adorable on her cute face but I had to meet my dad and them before it started so I had to go.

"Unfortunately but don't worry I am sure we will meet again soon, if not we can always exchange numbers." I actually liked the little girl and she could be an older sister figure to Artemis, she nodded at my idea and I got their mobile luckily they weren't like every backward wizard.

After exchanging numbers I shadow exchanged behind Harry, when I showed up though I was surprised by what I saw. He was at our camping site but the thing that was the surprise was the brunette that was currently trying to suck his lips into hers.

Coughing at them to get their attention they quickly broke apart, I was able to get a good look at her because of that. I didn't recognize her though no matter how hard I looked so I turned to Harry and raised a brow, "And who might this be?"

Harry cleared his throat while putting an arm around the girls neck, "Cory meet Susan Bones, Susan meet my cousin Cory he is joining us this year at Hogwarts he is a seventh year."

The girl was never really shown in the movies so I didn't know what she looked like but looking at her closely she looked a lot like the actress Lucy Hale, same short hair and everything. She blushed seeing me stare so intently, "Nice to meet you."

(Every girl I mention will just look like one of my favorite actresses)

I smirked and threw her a wink, "Don't let my cousin here kiss you to much, it looked like he was trying to eat you there for a second." She blushed more hiding a little behind Harry, "Well don't let me interrupt you, I'm going in to find my dad and uncle Shammy (Sirius)" Walking inside the tent I laughed along the way.

As I went in I heard behind me Harry convincing Susan to stay a little longer which made me smile more, "You turned that kid into a horndog." I said to Sirius who smiled proudly at that.

"Of course what kind of Godfather would I be if I let the pup go out there without any of this knowledge." My dad laughed rolling his eyes at his answer while I sighed getting something to drink. Harry came in twenty minutes later with a satisfied grin on his face, Sirius was the first to pounce and ask him what happened.

"Because of him Harry will be crowned the Harem king of Hogwarts by the end of the year." My dad said shaking his head and coming next to me, I nodded agreeing, "Alright you two enough we need to get going the game is starting soon." my dad said bringing the two out of their huddled talk Sirius had a proud smile on his face hearing the details of it all.
