A/N: If you're looking to see more of Madge, she does make an appearance in the ridiculously fluffy oneshot called Cheap Shot that's going to be posted within the next day or so. It's absurd. Don't say I didn't warn you.


She likes strawberries and pretty dresses and boys with Seam-gray eyes, even when they sneer at her naïveté, even when they're focused half the time on the girl who might well be her only friend. It's just her luck that she'd fall for the one boy she can't possibly have, for he'll never love her and her father will never let him marry her even if he did. Pretty blond girls from the nice part of town don't go about marrying dirt-poor boys from the Seam, and they shouldn't be pining for what-ifs. So she swallows her heart and smiles.
