It was pouring rain. Lightning flashed next to her. She surveyed the pitch for the ball. Suddenly, she saw a flash of gold. TheSnitch! She took a sharp turn towards her left, knowing Scorpius would follow her.

"Jay Potter scores yet another goal! Gyriffindor is in the lead! And it seems Wood has spotted the snitch! Malfoy races to keep up! OH! Watch out for that bludger!"

Maddie Wood swerved to the side narrowly missing the bludger. She and Scorpius were neck and neck. Then, she turned around. She willed her broom to go faster. She was so close to it.

"Ohhh. It seems Malfoy is confused. wonder how he got into Ravenclaw!"

"Weasley!"

"Haha just kidding..."

Maddie rolled her eyes at Fred. She needed to concentrate! She reached her hand out. Her fingers brushed the snitch. She could feel Scorpius behind her.

"COME ON MADS!" Fred screamed. Mcgonagall didn't even care. Her attention was fully on the game.

Maddie reached her hand out farther and enclosed the snitch in her hand. The Gryffindors cheered so loud she bet people in London could hear! She flew down to meet her teammates. Everyone congratulated her.

"Okay,okay," Maddie said. "It's only the first match of the season." She was filled with pride.

"You were still great, Mads!" said one of the chasers, Elizabeth.

"So were you Liza. All of you were," exclaimed Maddie. People started streaming onto the field.

"Group hug!" screamed James,the captain. He held out his arms and soon the whole team was clinging onto each other.

Then, Scorpius Malfoy approached Maddie. "You were awesome, Mads!" he gushed. "But I want a rematch!" He held his arms out for a hug.

Maddie rolled her eyes and hugged him. "Whatever! You'll still lose," teased Maddie.

People started congratulating Gryffindor. Rose Weasley found them. "Good job, Mads," she squealed.

"Hey! What 'bout me?" Scorpius exclaimed.

"You lost! Haha!" she laughed. And they started arguing. Maddie rolled her eyes and walked over to where the team was standing.

"Wish we could have a party,but everyone's soaked," sighed James. And Maddie rolled her eyes for like the 50th time today.

"This was a good start to soon to be great season," James said holding up his butterbeer for a toast. The team was gathered around the fire warming up. "We have three fantastic seekers, Al,Liza,and me. One awesome Keeper, Connor. Two incredible beaters, Jett and Louis. And one kick butt seeker, Mads!" Everyone cheered and took a sip of the butterbeer.

"Well I am exhausted. I need to go to bed," said Connor. everyone mumbled in agreement.

The next morning, Maddie, James, and Connor sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Suddenly, a newspaper was slapped down on the table in front of James. He raised an eyebrow at the person. "I found a lead on our dad," Rose said.

James and Albus' dad had been missing for a while. He was a very important Auror and was quite famous. There had been tons of search parties for him but not one sign of him.

"Really! Where!" he exclaimed.

"Well don't be too excited. I found it myself. It was just outside of London near Godric's Hollow," Rose explained. "Since we are going to Hogsmeade today, we can apparate there."

"Who's gonna come?" asked James.

"Me,you, Mads, Al, Fred, and Teddy. Connor, you can come if you want" Rose whispered. He shook his head.

"Why Teddy?" James asked.

"Because he's a teacher," Rose said impatiently. They glanced at the teaches table and saw Teddy happily chatting with the other teachers. "And Mads, you need to come 'cause you are the best at spells."

Maddie nodded and shakily finished eating breakfast.

As soon as they finished eating,Rose and Maddie headed up to the Gryffindor Tower. "We need to pack. We might be there a while."

They walked up the staircase after giving the Fat Lady the password.(Daffodils)

Maddie grabbed a bag from her closet and stuffed clothes,water,and food into it. She gather a brush,toothpaste,and a toothbrush from the bathroom and shoved it in her bag.

She touched her neck and her fingers enclosed around a silver locket that was a gift from her grandmother. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She grabbed her wand from the nightstand and shoved it into her cloak.

Maddie slung her bag over he shoulder and headed downstairs to meet Rose. "Ready," she told Rose.

Rose nodded and they set off to the Entrance Hall to meet the rest of the group going. She was surprised to see tat Teddy wasn't trying to stop them. " He's like a dad to me," Teddy explained when Maddie asked.

Then, they started waking down to Hogsmeade. "Nervous?" asked Fred slowing his pace down to hers.

"Kinda," Maddie admitted sheepishly.

"It's okay," Fred reassured. "So am I."

Well if Fred was nervous, then everyone must be nervous. Was it going to be safe?
