Maddie is focused, and if the opposing Beaters give her any thought, she doesn't notice it. She thinks they may have forgotten about her, which is all the better for her. She even tries a couple of times to draw attention away from their Chasers to help get the score up, but it becomes blatantly obvious a couple of hours in that Meaghan is ON FIRE and there's no chance the Harpies are catching them, Snitch or not.

It's at that point, about midway through, that Maddie is able to relax a little and actually enjoy herself. She likes being up in the air and flying and playing far more than she likes the need to win. That revelation is surprising to her, because winning used to be all that mattered—but that was back when she started all the time.

She catches sight of the Snitch about 5 hours and 15 min in, but she takes her time getting to it to prevent the Harpies from trying to block her. It's almost too easy how she makes a leisurely circuit of the pitch to grab it. If not for the refs, she thinks the Harpies might have kept playing. What is going on with them today?

	At one point, Alasdair flies slowly past Maddie and asks her if she's fallen asleep on her broom yet, because Jesus, as well as the Harpies really sucking today, this snitch is taking its own sweet time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe we should add this to endurance week—how to not fall asleep when the other team already has." She rolls her eyes. "I'll get us out of here as soon as I can, but my little friend is shy today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alasdair chuckles, spinning the Quaffle in his hands as he waits for a Harpy to come get him. "I'll suggest it in our next meeting," he grins, plummeting ten feet and sending a very confused Harpy reserve flying straight above him, wondering where he went. (Reply to this) (Parent)
