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!"

"All right!" Madeleine cheered, punching the air as she squinted upwards. "Let's go, Puddlemeeeeeere!"

As the balls were released, the Quaffle thrown up in the air, the entire stadium went up in raucous cheers. For an instant the Snitch was in front of them--just long enough to go zooming upward--and then the game was on.

As the hours passed, the score totals kept going up, with no sign of the Snitch. Madeleine took to keeping score of how many times a Beater managed to either break a bone or knock somebody off their brooms, rather than anything else. (There was a second score she was keeping, too, of how many times Scorpius Malfoy said something that made her want to get up and knock his teeth in, but that was a score that she was keeping to herself, rather than sharing with the rest of the group, thank you!)

At one point, Madeleine leaned over toward Cale, about to make a comment about how McCallen, who'd just been shown on the wizarding version of a gigantic telly screen at a football match, had a brilliant black eye forming up--but then she was on her feet.

"Look!" she shrieked, pointing furiously. "He's seen it! Ginnerty's seen it!"
