Chapter 5
August 1st, 1930
England
Robert Kelly and his Tutor Willaim Buehner left the Training Room laughing.
Robert was taking to William after nearly four years of training.
He reminded Robert a lot of the carefree Sirius Black back in the day.
Will had taught him a lot including a lot of dancing. During the lessons, Robert had learned how to very well dance the Merengue, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Mambo, Rumba, Bachata, and the Tango.
Before this, he had not even known that many different types of dancing existed but it turns out that they were quite enjoyable to do.
His dance partner Ainsley Buehner was also a really pleasant person to hang out with.
She was one of the two girls that he enjoyed being around the most now.
The other one was quickly running towards him.
"Bobbie".
"Hey Eve," He smiled reaching to scoop up his baby sister, three-year-old Evelyn Rose Kelly.
She had used that name for him since she had difficulty pronouncing Robert.
He liked it though.
She was adorable and Harry was fiercely protective over his little sister.
A sister that was very unique in being the first Kelly daughter born since 1681.
She was a special one that's for sure.
Never having a sister or a sibling in general before Robert was very happy to teach his sister the ropes.
And she had clung to her older brother.
His name was her first word after all.
That thought alone made him ecstatic.
She had her entire family dotting on her.
It was a bit disturbing though realizing that she would be starting Hogwarts in the same year that Tom Riddle would.
Oh well.
Besides they had something to be getting ready for.
"Are you ready to go to the cup Eve?"He asked his sister.
She nodded eagerly before running off to her room to collect some of her toys.
Robert laughed at her eagerness that he himself could not help but feel.
Tomorrow the whole family was traveling to Spain for the 1930 Quittich World Cup in Madrid.
Robert had been trying to learn some Spanish from a book he got but he wasn't sure how good he was doing.
He wasn't expecting to be an expert on the language but to at least be halfway decent in a conversation.
Except for the 1994 Cup, this would be the only other Quittich World Cup he had attended.
He was looking forward to it.
His father had explained the other day how they would be getting there.
They would be flooring to London and the Ministry of Magic Building where they would be traveling with the Minister for Magic Hector Fawley who turns out was a school friend of his fathers.
Small world they lived in.
SCENE BREAK
Robert had said that he was not going to do this.
After many hectic mornings at the Weasleys, he had worked on being more organized and ready for events.
But what do you know he forgot to pack his things despite his mom reminding him after dinner.
Wonderful.
But soon Robert was with Eve as they watched their family on their father's side come out of the floo with Uncle Wilbur, Aunt Lynn Cousin Robert, and Cousin William coming out one after another.
Soon Uncle Herbert, Aunt Ellen, Cousin George, and Cousin came through the floo and they were all ready to head to London.
Uncle Herbert came over to ruffle Robert's hair.
"Hey squirt," He said, "Ready to go".
"You bet'" Robert replied beaming.
Soon the group of twelve started heading through the floor.
"Hold my hand Eve," Robert said.
His parents had "taught" him how to use the floo about a year ago and now they trusted him enough to make sure he got his little sister through the floo.
After their cousins had gone through the floo Robert and Eves walked to floo seeing his parents who would be following behind them.
Holding Evelyn's hand Robert spoke clearly and precisely, not wanting to repeat several floo mistakes he remembered.
"Ministry of Magic".
With a rush, the two of them came out of a floo grate in the Ministry of Magic building where their family was waiting up ahead.
Looking behind them Robert saw that his parents came out of the floo one right after another.
Edward looked at the two of them unscathed and nodded approvingly.
Soon with the whole family gathered they walked towards the Minister's office.
Looking around Robert realized how similar this Ministry building was to the one that he remembered before it had been destroyed by a Death Eater Attack.
It was nice to see it in one piece though.
Looking at the crowds that were coming out of the various floo gates Robert felt this place looked normal.
And after a bit more walking they reached the Minister's Office.
"Hector" Edward" "So nice to see you again my friend".
The Minister of Magic Fawley turned to the family "Welcome" He said, "I hope you're ready for a riveting Quittich match".
They all nodded excitedly for the exciting upcoming match between France and Argentina.
"Ok," The minister said, holding up a rope "This is the Portkey that we will all grab onto to get to the stadium".
He then looked at Robert and Eve before giving them a ball.
"Hold onto this," He said, "The activation phase is Quittich".
Making sure Eve held onto the ball with him Robert said "Quittich" firmly before getting sucked away.
Oh, how fun a Portkey was.
Robert had almost forgotten the "wonderful" feeling that came with this version of magical travel.
Almost.
Soon they arrived in a field where Eve was soon crying from the effects of the portkey travel.
Rubbing his sisters back gently Robert felt annoyed.
Who decided that it would be a good idea for a three-year-old to take a portkey.
Soon he heard the rest of the group arrive and Eve was swept up by their mother.
"Shh, Shh, it's an ok darling," She said glaring at others in the group.
"Sorry Morgan ''The Minister said sheepishly "We couldn't get a good enough transport for everyone".
"Let's get to our tents," She said instead.
Walking down the line with the group Robert could not help but to make comparisons with the 1994 Cup.
He was not real sure about the attendance rate but it looked like there were more people around than in 94.
That meant that he had to stay even closer to the group since he didn't want to get lost with his current poor Spanish skills.
It also seemed like the various outfits the witches and wizards were wearing were even more bizarre outfits than they had in 94.
Could it be possible that fashion senses had become more rational over the years?
He didn't know.
Soon they said goodby to the minister who went to a Governmental meeting as the family went into their tent.
And similarly to the Weasley tent from 94 the Kelly Family Tent was quite larger on the inside than on the outside.
But that's where the comparisons end.
The Tent interior was bloody massive.
Despite having lived at Kelly Manor for the past ten years Robert was astonished by the interior.
This was nice.
His father soon came up to the kids.
"Ok everyone," He said, "Kids come with me and I'll show you where you will be sleeping, Eve you can go with Morgan".
Following Edward, the kids went into a bedroom.
"Ok," He said pointing to various beds, "Robert you're sleeping there, William you're sleeping there, George you're sleeping there, Jerome you're sleeping there and Robert you're sleeping there".
"Everyone got that," Edward says, seeing the kids nodding "Ok, unpack your things and get some sleep, we have an early morning tomorrow".
Robert worked on getting his stuff unpacked as he started a conversation with Jerome.
With no Death Eater attack during this World Cup and an exciting upcoming Quittich game, Robert felt quite excited for the future".
