Grounds 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all clustered together with a small pond in the center. As they all circle around this pond, it is the main source of the water. The water runs clear and pure, enchanted by wizards to never have impurities. People are welcome to take a dip and swim, the liquid will never run out or get tainted. However, there is a certain backlash to he spell. Sometimes, the drinker may turn an odd shade of purple, but only if the water is mixed with any sort of Japanese tea. English tea only, chaps!
The pride here runs strong and hard, with portraits of the English team adorning every tent.

A cool breeze blew across the England supporters campground. It was a welcome refreshment from the hot and humid weather that seemed to plague the country that week. There was excited chitter chatter all around the campground in anticipaion of the upcoming match between England and Japan. Jordan, a young man who was visiting from America. Jordan had been following the quidditch championship closely throughout the summer. It was difficult to get much news from his friends until he had order a subscription from The Daily Prophet. Still, just reading about the event wasn't nearly enough to fill the young mans desire to experience quidditch again, even if he was just to watch.
Jordan had been on the Ravenclaw quidditch team the previous year at Hogwarts. It had been first time on an actual team and he relished every moment of it. Since then quidditch seemed to be all he could think about. The transformation in him was easily recognizable. Wheras at the beginning of the year he remained fairly quiet and very studious, by the end of the year Jordan was regularly cutting class to fly around on his broomstick. He still made very decent grades, but some of his choices landed him with detention polishing the numerous trophies of Hogwarts, with the schools caretaker.
A few weeks prior to the quidditch world cup Jordan had recieved a letter from on of his classmates. They said that they had won a contest through The Quibbler and were given tickets to the cup match. Neither one of their parents were that interested and decided that if they found someone to go with then it would be fine to borrow their tent without them. So, Jordan's classmate hurriedly sent him an owl with the offer and told him to meet him at King's Cross Station in London the next day. Normally, that type of trip would've required extensive planning with airlines, tickets, buses, etc. However, normal was something that rarely applied to Jordan these days. At 17 years old the young man could simply apparate to the destination, well, at least close by. It wouldn't do to pop out thin air in the middle of a busy muggle train station. He would have to apparate on the countryside and get a ride from there. This was fine with Jordan seeing as he loved to see London's scenic view anyway.
So the next day Jordan finally made his way to King's Cross where his classmate had been waiting. The two had talked it over with their parents and were happy to know that Jordan would be spending the rest of the holiday's at his friends in the wizarding world. Jordan was happy that he'd soon be able to ride his broom out in the open again. Although it was completely illegal, he couldn't deny that he had taken a few midnight flights on the outskirts of town. It would be nice to fly in the sunlight again.
Once the duo had reached the grounds, via apparation, tey immediately set up their tent. It was a simple matter to throw a dusy and tattered canvas on the ground and then with a flick of the wand the material unfolded an unnatural amount of times, and then even more strange, it seemed to inflate until it was the size of a small hut. The two young adults looked at eachother and smiled enthusiastically. Then suddenly they were pushing against one another to get through the door and laughing loudly. "I call the master bedroom!" Jordan's friend yelled out, "Not if I get there first!" Jordan retorted while running for the largest bed. The two really wouldn't care who got which bed, but it was fun contest to have.
(If anyone would like to jump in here, and be the "friend" that Jordan is staying with that would be appreciated. I don't care if it's a guy or girl character, I mean there adults right? It's kind of past that awkward stage where they shouldn't be co-ed.)
