August 21st, Sunny (Part 2)

As the sun began to set, Arthur grew increasingly anxious. All the kids had returned except Joey and Fred. The group stood outside the tent, waiting impatiently. Ron kept trying to dart into the crowd but was pulled back by Harry.

"Where are they?" Arthur asked, glancing at his watch.

"I don't know!" George shouted back.

"They're here!" Ron pointed to Joey and Fred, who were weaving through the crowd. "Hurry up! We're going in!"

Arthur sighed in relief. "Finally."

Joey, spotting Flami, immediately let go of Fred's hand and clung to Flami's arm instead. Fred, grinning sheepishly, tried to apologize, but Joey refused to look at him.

George, noticing the bite mark on Fred's neck, smirked. "What happened to you?"

Fred shrugged, still laughing. "Nothing."

Flami, meanwhile, was gently fixing Joey's disheveled top. "What did Fred do this time?" she asked, amused.

Joey blushed, her voice barely above a whisper. "Boys are the worst!"

Flami chuckled. "Teenage boys are just impulsive. Don't take it too seriously."

Joey nodded, her face still red. "He… he touched me!"

Flami raised an eyebrow. "That's it? You've been dating for two years, and that's all that's happened? You're moving too slow."

Joey's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

Flami rolled her eyes. "You're 16, Joey. It's not that big of a deal."

Joey, still flustered, didn't respond. She was too busy trying to process Flami's words.

The group finally made their way to the stadium, their seats high up in the stands. Joey and Flami struggled to keep up, using the Weasleys' red hair as a guide. When they finally reached their seats, Fred and George were leaning over the railing, their faces painted green for Ireland.

"You're crazy!" Flami scolded George.

"So cool!" Joey cheered Fred.

Fred grabbed Joey's hand and pulled her toward their seats. "Come on! The match is about to start!"

The stadium erupted in cheers as the teams took to the field. Joey and Fred, despite their earlier argument, were soon screaming for Ireland together. When Krum pulled off a perfect Wronski Feint, Joey nearly jumped out of her seat.

"Krum! Krum! Krum!" she chanted, her voice ringing out above the crowd.

Fred, feeling a pang of jealousy, pulled the headless hat over Joey's head, turning her into a laughingstock. Joey retaliated by kicking him, but they were both too caught up in the excitement to stay mad for long.

When Ireland won, Joey and Fred kissed passionately, their argument forgotten. The moment was captured by the stadium cameras and broadcast to the entire crowd, earning them a round of applause.

As they left the stadium, Joey and Fred were the center of attention. Strangers teased them, and Joey's face turned red with embarrassment. Fred, however, took it in stride, laughing and joking with the crowd.

"You're embarrassing me!" Joey hissed, hiding her face in Fred's chest.

Fred grinned. "You're the one who kissed me in front of everyone."

Joey groaned. "I hate you."

"No, you don't."
