If Maddie had learned anything in her five years at Hogwarts, it was that her best friend – no, wait! Her former best friend! – was an idiot. And, she was certain that everyone else had, too. He had written a gossip column, exploiting the secrets of his fellow students and making them hate him. He had spent days outside as a result of his fellow students hating him, injuring himself and leading his sister into danger. He had sent vulgar Valentine's Day cards to everyone, making them hate him more, and when Maddie had stormed out of the empty classroom in tears, he hadn't gone after her. He was hopeless. And, although it had taken a few days, Maddie had finally decided that she had every right to hate him, too. Chase was a tosser, and he deserved it. Right? No. He did. He did!
Nonetheless, she made her way to Sirius's party at his request, if only because she wanted to tell him in person just how serious she was about never speaking to him again. Maddie hadn't bothered to dress up, donning her usual cardigan and jeans. She knew she would look out of place, but, she didn't intend to stay very long. As far as she knew, she was still on the MAYBES list, and if Sirius had a problem with her being there, she would be more than willing to leave and not look back.
Stepping into the classroom – even in her rage, she couldn't believe that he had divulged the location of their secret place to the entire list of DEFINITES – Maddie crossed her arms against her chest, ready to dish out whatever sort of death threat necessary to get Chase Harper out of her hair. He deserved it. HE DID!!
