Chapter 11- Flat 11 Doverbrook Place Oxford Circus

Madison, Sirius, Magsy, Zara, James and Lily shivered as they stepped off the Hogwarts Express, onto the feezing Platform 9 3/4.

"I don't think Roxy's here yet," said Madison as she looked around the platform.

"Nope she's always late!" said Magsy, her voice strangely muffled by the two scarves she was wearing.

"Thanks so much for letting me stay with you Madison," said Lily. Madison had written to her sister about Sirius coming to stay, when Magsy suggested that the whole group of them should come to stay with them, Roxy had been all for the idea.

"No problem," said Madison to Lily, smiling.

"How are we getting there?" asked Sirius putting his arms around Madison to warm her up.

"Floo," replied Madison, simply.

Ten minutes later, they were still stood there. All the other students had left, and a sullen faced gaurd was walking up the platform.

"Come on," said Madison grabbing her trunk and striding across the platform, "We can get there ourselves,"

The group followed her over to a black iron cast fireplace, ornately decorated in gold.

"Right," said Madison, scooping a handful of glittering dust from a barrel next to the fireplace, "The adress is Flat 11, Doverbrook Place, Oxford Circus."

Heaving her trunk up around her middle, with a lot of diffculty, she threw the glittery dust into the fireplace, stepped into the flames and clearly yelled "Flat 11, Doverbrook Place, Oxford Circus!"

She could feel her whole body whirling her head spinning, her elbows bouncing painfully of the walls, and she almost dropped her trunk as it hit hard against the fireplace wall. Suddenly the whirling was slowing down and the rushing in her ears subsiding and she shot out from a fireplace, into a lavishly stylish penthouse apartment.

"Madison?" said a woman sat a desk. Her dark hair was thick like Madison's, except it was pulled back into a long ponytail, and her lips were more a bubblegum pink than cherry red like Madison's, and she was wearing contacts that turned her eyes gleaming beacon blue.

"Roxy!" yelled Madison getting up and sweeping ash from her robes, "You were meant to pick us-AHHHH!!!"

A large shape had just flown out of the fireplace and knocked Madison over. A second later 4 more shapes flew from the fireplace, followed by four heavy trunks. Soon there was a large pile of people and trunks, plus a lot of clothes, (it looked like Magsy's trunk had burst open), lying in the middle of the room, grunting and moaning.

"So," said Roxy, standing up from the desk, "I guess you'll be Madi's friends?"

"I can't believe it," said Zara, as she pinned huge hoop earings to her ears, "Our first night here...and we're already having a party! If I was at home...I'd be sat around playing scrabble with my little brother!"

She sat on her bed. There were two spare rooms in Roxy's apartment, Sirius and James were staying in one, and the four girls were staying in the other. So as a room that was meant to only have one bed, now had four the girls were very squashed, and Magsy kept falling over.

The four girls were all wearing cute little dresses designed by Roxy Peters herself. As the doorbell rang, Madison smoothed out the lacey black dress and said,

"Looks like the guests are arriving let's go,"

As the walked out into the huge living area, they saw people wearing fancy clothes spilling through the door, picking up cocktails as the entered.

"Ooh cocktails!" said Sirius, from behind Madison, he was rubbing his hands together.

"Madison," hissed a voice, it was Roxy. She grabbed her arm and lead her over to a tall man in a black suit, "This is Thomas Hackett, Tom, this is my little sister Madison."

Thomas shook her hand, "Nice to meet you Mr. Hackett," she said curtiously.

"Oh please call me Tom!" said Tom, grinning.

After talking with Tom for an hour or so, Madison found out he was Head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, he was very rich and powerful, and he was dating Roxy.

"She never told me about having a boyfriend," said Madison, as she sipped a glowing blue cocktail.

"Well, you know she's a very modest girl," said Tom, picking up his third cocktail and downing it, "So you said you want to work for the ministry?"

"Yeah," said Madison, beaming, "I would like a job in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes,"

"Well, you know I could put in a good word for you," said Tom picking up another cocktails, "In fact I have some information on that department in my briefcase, care to take a look,"

"Okay, just a quick one though...I need to er, go control my boyfriend." said Madison as Sirius ran past her singing loudly followed by James who was wearing a tie around his head and twirling around and around.

She followed Thomas into Roxy's bedroom, and then he sat on the bed pulling her down next to him.

"I thought you said you wanted to get your breifcase?" asked Madison looking around the room. She tried to stand up, because she didn't like the way Thomas was leering at her, but he pulled her back down.

"I could take you so far..." he said, his breath horrible from the cocktails, "But you have to do something for me..." He put his hand on her thigh.

"Yeah, I don't think so, I have a boyfriend." said Madison, trying in vain to get up but this time Thomas practically threw her back into a sitting position, and touched her face.

"Come on Madison," he said, smiling grimly.

"Get off!" yelled Madison, and drawing her fist back she thrust it as hard as she could into Thomas's face, "If all the people at the Misistry are like you, I don't think I want to work there, thanks!"

She strode out of the room, tears blossoming over her cheeks.
