The next day was Saturday. The two girls woke up early the next day, and quickly headed down to the common room to wait for their unknowing messenger. They had only to wait a few minutes until a third year with long blonde hair came bounding down the steps.
"Madeleine!" Rose called, she knew Madeleine very well from the DA.
"Oh, hi Rose," Madeleine said.
"Hi, listen, could you do us a favor and deliver a note to Hugo in Gryffindor? All you'd have to do is give it to Colin or somebody and make sure it gets to him; or give it to him, whichever is more direct," Rose explained.
Madeleine nodded, "Sure, sounds like a plan to me,"
"Thanks, you're a lifesaver! Bye!" Rose said.
"Bye!" Madeleine said, as she left with the note.
"Now what do we do?" Matilda asked.
"Now, we wait," Rose grinned.
H~E~H~E~H~E~H~E~H~E~H
Rose and Matilda wandered around the grounds, especially around the Lake, until that afternoon.
"Oi! Rose!" Rose saw her brother, a few inches shorter than her with somewhat long red hair, heading toward her from the direction of the Gryffindor common room.
At the same time, Matilda saw her sister Eleanor, obviously with a book in her hand, and long dark hair, coming from the opposite direction.
"Perfect timing," Matilda whispered in Rose's ear.
"So, why was it you wanted to meet me here?" Eleanor asked in a quiet voice after a somewhat awkward silence.
"Yeah, what's so important?" Hugo asked.
"Well, I wanted you to meet some people, Eleanor; this is my friend Rose Weasley, she's in my year, and this is her brother Hugo, he's in your year in Gryffindor. Rose, Hugo, this is my sister Eleanor," Matilda introduced both Rose and Hugo in turn.
Eleanor nodded to them both in turn.
"And Hugo, this is my friend Matilda Davies and her sister Eleanor," Rose said politely.
"Hi," Hugo said, raising a quick hand of greeting.
Eleanor smiled.
"Well, listen, Matilda and I have some stuff to get done, so why don't you two talk some and let us know how it goes, alright? Bye, all!" Rose said quickly, her and Matilda darting off before either of their siblings could say a word of refusal.
A/N:FYI Madeleine and her older brother Colin are the two oldest kids of Dennis Creevey and Gabrielle Delacour.
