《The second granger-Harry Potter》•the quidditch cup•

"Wow." Ophelia breathed, glancing down at the giant quidditch pitch of the World Cup.
The wind was cool and the sun was shining beautifully. Every sight seemed unbelievable for the group. They had managed to get top box seats aswell so they had an excellent view.
"Ophelia you're going to freeze!" Hermione insisted over and over. "Why would you wear a tank top on such a windy day?"
The wind was much cooler up in the top box actually. Ophelia was dressed in grey sweatpants and a cream white tank top. Her hair blew in the wind as she glance down at the now full pitch.
"Hermione it's fine." Ginny laughed, sitting down next to Hermione.
Ophelia was sitting next to Harry and Hermione. Ron was on the other side of Harry and Ginny sat next to Hermione.
Ophelia was still speechless from how gorgeous the area was. The wind felt cool on her skin and took her breath away slightly, but it felt right.
Ophelia leaned forward on the railing in front of them, taking in the beautiful feeling on her skin. It left a tingling sensation actually.
Harry stood from his seat and leaned against the railing next to Ophelia, glancing down at the seats below.
"Beautiful weather isn't it?" Ophelia grinned, looking up at the sky slightly.
"Not as beautiful as you." Harry mumbled under his breath before clearing his throat and talking clearly. "It is isn't it?"
Harry's hair was messed up by the wind as they stood next to each other. Ophelia glanced at him and instantly blushed just by how amazing he looked. She loved when his hair was messy. She smiled and looked downwards once again, clearly flustered.
Except this time, Harry seemed to notice her blush. He could see how flustered she was just by looking at him. It gave him the motivation to do what he was going to do next.
Harry ran his fingers along the railing as butterflies filled his stomach. He slowly ran them closer to Ophelias hand before gripping her hand in his, intertwining their fingers together.
Fireworks were erupted in Ophelias heart. Harry Potter was holding her hand. He had finally made a move.

Harry squeezed her hand and rubbed his thumb along hers as they stood there. He glanced down and chuckled before looking to the side and at Ophelia.
Ophelia returned the look with a sweet smile. Her freckles stuck out through her blushing cheeks as their eyes met. Everything about Harry just seemed more beautiful to Ophelia in that moment. From his beautiful green eyes to his sharp jawline. His deep brown hair gleamed in the sunlight as it blew slightly in the wind. He just looked perfect.
"It's about to start! Get back to your seats." Ron demanded. None of them had seen Ophelias hand locked with Harry's.
Harry chuckled and hid their locked hands behind Ophelias back as they both walked to their seats and sat down. Harry continued to grip her hand just below everybody's view and on Ophelias thigh.

The game ended quite a while after. Ron and Harry were yelling none stop and so were the twins. Even Ophelia was extremely into the match. Hermione seemed to have been enjoying it too.
Once they got back to the tent, Ophelia, Ginny and Hermione decided to relax whereas the guys decided to mess around, per usual.
"Krum was amazing wasnt he?" Ron ranted. "Ireland is amazing but just KRUM."
Ophelia snorted with laughter as Ginny stood up and strode over to her brothers and Harry.
"I think you're in love Ron!" Ginny teased, causing Ron to scoff and then laugh as Fred and George went on screaming about how Ireland won.
Harry was having a laughing fit as he leaned against the wall. He could barely breathe through his laughter as they all made fun of Ron for "crushing" over Viktor Krum.
"Oh Krum you're so radiant!" Ophelia joined in the mocking.
Both the twins snorted with laughter as Ophelia walked up to Ron and bowed down.
"Oh dear Viktor Krum, will you please take my hand in marriage?" Ophelia teased, getting down on one knee in front of Ron.
Ron pushed her back so she fell on the floor. The whole room erupted with laughter, even Hermione.
"You should've said yes Ron." Harry grinned, walking forward and wrapping his arm around Ron.

"You wish Harry was Krum don't you Ron?" Ophelia giggled as she stood up.
Before Ron could make any retorts, Arthur Weasley came in, gathering things urgently.
Ophelia and Harry exchanged a look of concern as Arthur looked up at the group of teens.
"Everybody out and quickly." He ordered. "We havent much time."
Ophelia next shot her glance to Hermione; Hermione gave her an uncertain look as the whole tent emptied out of the exit.
Ophelia followed out behind Ginny, being the last one out. The whole group was ordered to go to the port key instantly before mr.Weasley ran the opposite direction. Within seconds there was chaos everywhere; Ophelia had grabbed Ginny's hand as she shot her glance through the burning tents, looking for Harry and Hermione.
"They're gone." Ginny said, holding onto Ophelias hand tightly.
"Let's go Gin." Ophelia decided. She knew Harry, Ron and Hermione were smart and skilled enough, but she still wished she was with Harry.
Ophelia pulled Ginny through the burning trees until they reached an opening in a safe part of the forest which wasn't on fire.
The forest was dark and loomy of course. Any small sound would make somebody jump, especially because you couldn't see anything through the trees since it was so dark out.
The screams of others had dimmed away and it was silent now. All Ophelia could hear were her and Ginny's deep breath's from running.
"We've got to find the others." Ophelia breathed, glancing to Ginny.
They heard a branch crack in the distance, but it seemed much more threatening since nobody was around.
"Or at least find a way out." Ginny replied, pulling her wand from her side. Ophelia did the same.
Then there was another crack, but much louder and closer. Then there were footsteps, but they weren't human.
Ophelia gripped Ginny's arm and whipped around, raising her wand. There was some sort of animal charging at them. It was like a bear, but not quite...normal?
"Stupefy!" Ophelia yelled, sending sparks out of her wand.
The creature shrieked before rolling to its side and back to its feet. That was no normal bear.
Shortly after, it raised to its feet and was staring up into the sky. Ophelia kept her eyes on the creature until Ginny nudged her arm, causing her to look over her shoulder. There it was, bright in the sky, the dark mark.
The creature shrieked once more before retreating into the forest. It was clearly as terrified of Lord Voldemort as everybody else was.
"Harry.." Ophelia mumbled, gripping her wand tighter.
Ophelia shot into the mass of trees towards the place below the dark mark. Ginny followed close behind, shooting branches out of their way as they ran.
"Harry!" Ophelia yelled.
There they were; Harry, Hermione and Ron standing below the dark mark with Mr.Weasley at their side.
Harry turned around quickly, meeting his gaze with Ophelia's. Ophelia felt a rush of relief when she saw them. She knew the dark mark had something to do with Harry, she just couldn't prove it yet. Something was going to happen this year, and it worried her.
Ophelia rushed over with Ginny following behind. She stood next to Hermione and Ginny walked over to her father.
Harry was looking at Ophelia from the corner of his eye. He seemed as if he was worried he was going to lose her. Maybe they were both worried for each other.
"I'm glad you're alright Ophelia." He said finally.
Ophelia smiled at him. She was tempted to walk over and hug him, but emotions weren't really her thing. Though both her and Harry noticed that they were becoming more visible. The only thing was, Harry was happy she was opening up whereas Ophelia was frustrated.
She wanted to be strong, but maybe showing emotion would make her stronger.
So she did. She walked over and hugged him. He was quite shocked but hugged her back nonetheless. He was happy to have her safe in his arms again, and maybe this year, he could get the bottle open.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
