Don't the galleons shelled out for these tickets all seem worth it now that you have a spectacular view of the pitch and its players? You're sure to catch every bit of the action from these seats! And with vendors making regular walks through these stands, you're never far from memorabilia to commemorate your Quidditch World Cup experience!

Emily came into the stadium excitedly. After she found the top seats she sat down and waited for somebody to come. Maybe she could make some new friends before school began.

Xavier Vindictive, a newly hired Ministry worker awaked bright and early the day of the Quidditch games. He made his way over to the upper level stands and realized that he was one of only two people who have yet to arrive. He decided to sit next to the woman and introduce himself. "Hello, my name is Xavier Vindictive. I see you're an early bird, as am I. And your name?"

Melina. who was not normally and early riser, but today she wanted to make sure she and her husband had good seats; she'd left a note at the tent, so he'd know where to find her when he arrived. After all, it was the first QWC they'd be together for, and she wanted it to be memorable. As she completed her jog up the stairs she came to notice others had planned ahead as well. And now to find the right seats., Melina thought to herself, as she scanned the area. The second row to the top would work. Melina walked upward and heard footsteps behind her. Out of curiousity, she turned to see who it was and she came face to face with her wonderful hubbie. She kissed him on the cheek and said, "Tommy, how was work? And how's the old Empire State since our last trip?" He, inturn hugged her and said "Eh, work was work, ya know. And New York was great. You should take some time off and we should go visit the family." She nodded,"That sounds great! Maybe I can even get that top back from Eleni!", she smirked and continued to the second to the top row and sat down directly in the middle. Thomas Moretti followed his wife and laughed. This day would be perfect.

Then, to the other two people who had for whatever reason also come early she said "Beautiful day for a quidditch match, isn't it?"

Antoni decided to come to the upper level stands to do a preliminary patrol. When she got there she saw a few early birds. She nodded to a few as walked along the rows. As she did before she kept her eyes and other senses keen and on the alert for anything.

Jade found her way up to stands, she really needed to get away from the fickleness of her cousin. How they were from the same family confused her, she just hoped Mina wouldn't turn out the same way. Shaking her head, she continued on her way in search of her seat. Hopefully being that she was very early, she wouldn't have to endure Odetta during the match at all.

Noticing a fellow ministry employee, Jade waved to Melina. She still remembered her first day and how nice the woman was to her. Smiling to herself, she found what appeared to be the right seats. Taking a seat in the middle, she waited for the rest of her family.

Out of all the work they placed into running the Quidditch World Cup, Madison made sure to arrive just in time. She walked into the upper level seating area with Jadyn attached to her hip. She'd never been to one of these before and bringing Jadyn along, she didn't know how the little girl would react to the crowds of cheering and yelling. So far so good.

When she finally arrived at the row on her ticket, she took her seat keeping Jadyn in her lap. The baby cooed, waving her arms about with her rather large brown eyes watching all the strange people taking their seats. "We're going to vote for England," Madison whispered into Jade's ear as the little girl began to giggle.

Melina smiled back to Jade and gave her a small wave. She felt as if they hadn't seen eachother around the office in a while. Shaking her head to herself she thought, you need to get to the break room more often! Be more social! She looked out onto the pitch for the firdt time, and really examined the view. It was spectacular!! You could see everything and anything there was to be seen. It really showed nature's best features, something which she had overlooked in her years here. "The view's absolutely marvelous!", she said to her husband, who nodded in agreement, "It's amazing."

Miles ran up the steps with every ounce of Australian coloured gear he had and a grin on his face. Looking over his shoulder he laughed excitedly, "Come on slow poke or someone will get your seat." Not likely but it was fun to mess with her. Making his way down the row, and excellent seats they were his dad had really come off this time, he stopped when he reached his place and grinned as he looked around. This was just so...AWESOME.

All decked out in her ENGLAND colors, Fia ran behind Miles having no problems keeping up with him. "Hey! You're the one with the tickets smarty pants so you know where we are sitting," she fussed followed by a giggle. "Besides, I thought it would be appropriate to save the best colors for last because you know England is going to win!" And under her breath she couldn't help but say, "Even though you can't vote for your own home team."

Miles turned toward Fia as she was next to him and he smirked, "Whatever, don't come crying to me when they lose," he teased. And barely hearing her last comment he raised an eyebrow and moved closer to her, "That's not what this is about sweet heart." Oh no. He could easily have voted for England and he probably would have but she made it a contest. Leaning in he kissed her, lingering a bit until he heard someone clearing his rather LARGE throat behind him. Bothari. Pulling a way he swallowed and looked at Fia then at Bothari. "Issues Sergeant?" As the man didn't answer he frowned, "I thought not."

Fia's eyes kept to Miles along with the smirk on her face. She knew the real reason, it was just one of those things she had to throw in there. Enjoying the kiss she was returning, she half turned her head as if she were looking at the bodyguard behind her.

"Nothing wrong with a little kiss to seal the deal," she said as she turned back to Miles and smiled. "And we need to figure out what you will be doing for me after the game." Yup! She went there, but it was fun. Even if she did loose, she was still a winner because she was with Miles.

Miles looked over his shoulder and then back at Fia as she spoke and smirked. "I'm afraid he wouldn't know that. You really should learn to lighten up Sergeant. How are you ever to find a wife with a constant frown on?" Grinning he reached for Fia's hand and turned back toward the pitch. As she spoke again he laughed and nudged her, "Oh I think you have that wrong Fi. I think you mean what YOU will be doing for ME." Smirking he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her against him. This had to be like the best day ever.

Fia wrapped one arm around Miles' waist and leaned her head on his shoulder. Making bets with Miles was just fun! It was all in fun and no one meant any harm by it. She looked back to Bothari and grinned. The man needed to lighten up and at this rate, he wasn't looking for a wife when he already had the kid to look after. Poor thing.

She turned back to Miles and kissed him on the cheek. "That's for good luck," she grinned then laid her head back on his shoulder. This was her favorite summer ever and her second favorite part of the summer as Miles would know what was the first. There was no Ivan to bother them only the drill sergeant that stood next to them. Not as bad really.

Constantine had been momentarily delayed, but caught up none the less to his loving wife and too cute for words, daughter. "Sorry, my dear," he said gently, falling into the seat beside her. "Did I miss anything?"

Madison was bouncing a singing Jadyn on her lap to keep her entertained. With every bounce, the little girl's voice would bump and she would giggle but kept her voice going. It was a new thing that they'd been doing together and Madi loved to watch the little girl laugh with her carefree voice.

"Sorry I didn't wait for you," she said as Neo took his seat next to her. She leaned over and kissed his cheek then went back to bouncing Jadyn. "The game hasn't started yet. Did everything go okay in security?" She wasn't there at the moment and feared that something might go wrong, but none the less, at this point, everyone should have already checked in.

Emily didn't see any other young hogwarts students yet, but the man who came in after her was talking to her, so she'd talk to him. "My name is Emily sir." she said.

Hannah walked into the stands to look for Emily. Now where was that girl. Oh, there she was, sitting in the stands and talking to a ministry employee. "Hello Emily," she said. She turned to the man. "Any may I ask your name?"

"Oh, yeah, everything was fine with security," he nodded, reaching a hand over to tickle Jadyn's tummy. "I just forgot something in the tent, that's all. How's my baby girl doing," he then cooed. "She must not be used to all the people."

Madison looked down to Jadyn as it was nice to have her giggling and smiling around the crowd of people. "Well, just in case, if nothing more I can run her away from here if she becomes frightened, but so far everything is good." She stood the little girl up on her legs and turned her towards Neo. Instantly, Jadyn held out her arms, wanting to go to her daddy.

"Hi baby," he cooed, smiling at the sight of Jadyn wanting to be with him. "Come to daddy...come on." He reached his hands out to take the little one safely from Madison. "I really don't think Jadyn will be upset...she looks fantastic now as is. If there will be anything that will upset her, it'll be the loud noises. But she's a tough little girl, righttt," he went back to cooing. "Gets it from her mother."

Dora finally made it up into the Upper Level Stands, huffing, puffing and sweating bullets. What in Merlin's name is wrong with her? Makes no sense. "Okay guys, where do you wanna sit? I need to get seated before I faint, I think." Dora panted as she flopped down in a pretty decent seat, considering there was like no one there yet.

Silas wiped his brow with the back of his hand - that sure was a lot of stairs - and watched as Dora flop down. "Do you need water or anything? I'll go get some?" Silas pointed a thumb back over his shoulder, concern apparent in his voice.

He bent down and gave her hand a squeeze, looking her in the eye. "Are you sure you're going to be ok?"

"She's a very good little girl," Madison cooed after Neo. "I don't know how tough her mother is sometimes." She knew that there were moments she needed to be and act a little tougher than usual, especially now that she was a Department Head.

She looked up as she heard the roar of the crowd. The game was about to begin and the Minister was getting ready to speak. Her eyes turned to look at Jadyn who seemed to be doing okay so far, plus, she looked as though she was starting to become daddy's little girl.

Laura walked up to the Upper stands.the view was breath taking.she seemed it to be all worth the galleons that she shelled out for the match.she walked in and saw quite a few members already in there.she made her way to one of the empty boxes.she waited for her collegues to come by.she looked around to see if she could recognise any familiar face.at far distance she saw a guy.she felt she had seen him somewhere and then it struck her
Xavier Vindictive she thought of the name of the man.he had come to their division by mistake but was given pretty sharp answers for his over confidence.she shook her head and smiled at the memory.
that was weird yet funny she thought.



Isabella along with her mother and her brother came in on the upperstand levels.Bella was excited.she was practically jumping with joy.she immediately ran to the railing to look down at the stands.he mother shouted at her and scolded her.she stayed there for sometime not leaning too much on the railing and then headed back to take her seat between her mother and her brother.she would have the best time of her life

Dora shook her head and said, "No need dear, I'll be fine and I wouldn't want you trekking all the way back down there for refreshments, love. Just come have a seat with me is all I want."
