When: August 18/19
Where: THE QUIDDITCH CUP YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Status: In-progress

Madeleine Winters was ready for action.

She was wide awake, dressed, armed with a broomstick and bouncing on the balls of her feet. Her mother had already told her several times to settle down, that her excitement was riling up her siblings as well. "No way, Mum!" she'd laughed in response. "Arlen's ready to lay down and take a nap; you'll see!"

"Kit-kit-kit-kit-kit-kit-kit-kit-kit!" Arlen had chanted at that moment, running by with his own toy broomstick. "Let's play! I wanna play!"

"Arlen-arlen-arlen-arlen-arlen!" Madeleine crowed back, grinning before catching sight of her mother's exasperated face. "...all right, so maybe I am, a little bit."

But there was so much to be excited for! She, Jamesies, and Cale had all made plans to meet up, and Cale would be bringing by his own little brother as well. She was confident that he and Arlen would hit it off, and then the three of them would be free, free to do anything they wanted for the day.

"I bet you I can catch the Snitch before you do, Arlen!" challenged Madeleine, bending down to grab their toy Snitch from its small box. It wouldn't fly as far or as frantically as a real Snitch would, meaning that Arlen wouldn't be on a disadvantage on his smaller broomstick. "Let's play until everybody else gets here!"

James had been a drifting wraith of impatience since early that morning. Thanks to his parents' connections at the Ministry he was guaranteed a ticket to the Cup and assured that he wouldn't have to worry with them staying in his hair for any of the trip. They were needed for security, but all James needed to worry with was watching Lilylu.

After the initial disorientation from traveling by portkey, James found himself ushered through security and on towards the rows of tents where witches and wizards were prepared to camp out for the extent of the game.

"You've got things handled, right?" Harry asked, placing a hand on James' shoulder to keep him from bolting immediately to go in search of his mates. "You'll keep an eye on your sister?" Harry's gaze shifted to Albus as well. "You both will?"

"Of course!" James declared, shifting his broomstick to the other shoulder and slinging his free arm around his sister. "When have I ever lost a sibling?"

Harry's expression was skeptical, but he was needed to help manage security. He'd have to trust that his eldest could handle a little responsibility for once. Or at least hope that Al would pick up the slack.

Less than a minute later the goodbyes were finished and the Potter children were on their way through the colourful declarations of team spirit.

"Oy!" James called hopefully. "Madeleine! Cale! You lot somewhere in this mess?"

	"Just a bit over there!" Madeleine called back, pointing vaguely. "Come on, Jamesies, get on up in the air with us!" Why walk through the crowd when they could just fly on over? (Reply to this)

	"Always!" Madeleine shouted back, laughing as she pulled up to slide over to James' other side. "Hey, is that--" She cut off, banking suddenly. She hadn't actually seen Cale, but she was guessing that maybe she'd be able to feint and gain some time. Sparrooooooooooooow... where aaaaaaaare youuuuuuuuu...? She was going to win!

	Cale eyed the broomstick warily before giving up. He knew better at this point than to argue. James was likely to rocket up into the clouds just to force his hand if he pushed it too far. Gingerly Cale swung a leg over the broom and took his place behind Madeleine. "And just what mad things have you two decided to do?" he asked, frowning slightly. (Reply to this)

	"Hang on!" was all that Madeleine responded with. And then they were shooting upwards, quickly reaching the same level as Jamesies again. "You hadn't shown up yet," she explained then, a laugh in her voice. "So James and I decided to come and find you!" (Reply to this)
