A Magical Ride to the World Cup
Part 3
As the Flying Ford Anglia soared through the sky, Harry felt a sense of freedom he hadn't experienced in a long time. The wind rushing through his hair, the sun shining down on his face, and the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup ahead of him all combined to lift his spirits. He glanced over at Ginny, who was sitting beside him, her eyes fixed on the scenery below. Ginny, with her long, curly brown hair and bright green eyes, seemed a bit more reserved than the twins, but Harry could sense a kindred spirit in her. He turned to her and smiled. "Hey, Ginny, how are you? I've never really had a chance to talk to you before." Ginny smiled back, her eyes lighting up. "I'm good, thanks. I'm really excited to be going to the World Cup. I've never seen a match before, and I've heard it's amazing." Harry nodded enthusiastically. "It's going to be incredible. I've been waiting for months. What's it like being a Weasley? I mean, I know your family is really into magic and all, but I've never really gotten to see what it's like from the inside." Ginny laughed. "It's chaotic, to be honest. We're always getting into mischief, and Mum and Dad are always trying to keep us in line. But it's a lot of fun. We have a really close family, and we always stick together." Just then, Fred and George, who were sitting in the front seats, turned around, grinning mischievously. "Hey, Harry, don't get too cozy with Ginny," Fred said, winking. "She's a Weasley, through and through. She'll have you turning into a toad in no time." George chuckled. "Yeah, and don't even think about trying to borrow her clothes. She's got a wardrobe full of hand-me-downs from Mum, and they're not exactly... fashionable." Ginny rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Shut up, you two. I'm not going to turn Harry into a toad, and my clothes are not that bad." Harry laughed, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Ginny. "I think I can handle myself, thanks. But I have to say, I'm a bit worried about the twins' fashion sense. Those shirts they're wearing look like they were made by a committee of grannies." Fred and George looked at each other, then back at Harry, their faces mock-offended. "Hey, our shirts are cool!" Fred protested. "We're just... eclectic." Ginny giggled, and Harry could see the ice breaking between them. As they continued on their journey, the four of them chatted and joked, the twins teasing Ginny and Harry good-naturedly, but Harry felt like he was finally starting to find his place among the Weasleys. And as they flew over the countryside, the scenery below them a patchwork of fields and forests, Harry knew that this was going to be a week he would never forget.
