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!"

Madeleine was up in the air, whooping as she watched Arlen make a dive for the Snitch when she thought heard James' voice faintly above the chatter. "James?" she shouted, twisting about for a look around. "Where are you?"

She turned her attention back to Arlen just in time to see him swoop back up, clutching the Snitch in triumph. "Well done, Arlen!" she cried. "Bring it here!"

She waited until he had flown over, then grabbed hold of the broom. "All right, squirt, time to switch back. Jamesies is here now, so I need my own broom."

"Awww, do we have to...?" Arlen wheedled, looking hopeful. Madeleine couldn't blame him, really--her broomstick had been a gift from her father, his way of making up for all the times he hadn't been able to go to Diagon Alley, or Gringotts, or Hogsmeade, or even to Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross. And boy, had he made up for it.

"Yes," she said emphatically, giving the broom a slight shake. "I can only go up a bit past head level on this thing--I was being nice enough by letting you take mine for a go, anyways!"

"All right, all right," Arlen relented with a pout. "But I want another try later!"

"We'll see," Madeleine grinned, holding the broom steady as she slid onto it in front of him. "Now, hold on."

A moment later, the two of them were soaring over the heads of everybody else, laughing merrily as they looked for James.

"Jaaaaaaamesies! Where are you?"
