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!"

"Dive, you daft prat!" James roared, coming up out of his seat to pump his fist into the air. The Snitch had angled for the ground at that moment, and the other Seeker had also spotted what was happening and pulled up short to join in the race to the turf.

Lily had been distracted momentarily by the conversation she had gotten into with the dark haired woman from before, but at Madeleine's shriek, she had lunged back over the seats again, this time actually slipping into their row. She recovered quickly and stood up in James's seat to see over her brother's head.

As she struggled with the omnoculars to get them to focus on the action, James whooped and set his rosette to playing. "Bet everyone a galleon he catches it and the other Seeker smashes his face in!"

And that?

That was when the Bludgers crashed the party and slammed into Ginnery's broom.

And then the Snitch was gone rocketing off so quickly that the other Seeker barely had time to stop his dive.

Noting James' nearly heartbroken demeanor, Cale tried to offer his sympathies. "Erm... I'm sure he'll get it next time, Potter. Our bloke didn't snatch it either, yeah?"

"Potter," Scorpius drawled.

Cale winced, knowing what was coming.

"What was that about a galleon? For every one of us, wasn't it? Shall we be expecting you to clean out your pockets before or after your team's humiliated?"
