The next few months were uneventful for the group of Ravenclaws.
It was now the eighth of May. Marnie had convinced Atticus to attend the Gryffindor/Hufflepuff Quidditch match with her. They walked into the Quidditch Pitch and sat down in the Gryffindor stands next to Madison. The two sisters were still on relatively bad terms so Madison huffed when Marnie sat next to her.
"When is the game going to start," Madison whined impatiently tugging at her robe.
Marnie was slightly impatient too. "Maybe there's something wrong."
A few minutes later, McGonagall walked out onto the field. "This match is cancelled as well as the rest of the season."
There were cries of disappointment from the crowd. The disappointed students filed out of the Quidditch Pitch.
"Miss Jacobs!" McGonagall shouted.
Both Marnie and Madison turned towards the frantic Transfiguration Professor.
"Yes, Professor?"
"Your friends with Miss Granger, aren't you?" she asked Madison.
The younger Jacobs sister nodded. "I suppose we're close but not as close as her, Harry and Ron."
"I have something that you'd probably like to see."
Madison nodded and joined Ron, Harry and McGonagall walked away.
"I wonder what that was about?" Marnie asked.
Atticus shrugged as they continued walking towards the castle. Once in the castle, they started walking towards Ravenclaw Tower, Marnie recited the answer to the riddle and they walked in.
"That was a quick match," Clara said looking up from painting her nails.
Marnie said. "The match was cancelled along with the whole season."
"That's only a handful of matches, isn't it?" Clara asked.
Marnie nodded as she sat down on the couch and Nixie hopped on her lap. She had finally relaxed without the potion which is a relief to Marnie she didn't want to use a potion on her cat. That would've been the last resort
Atticus brought over the chessboard for their weekly game. As they started to play, Jaq walked in.
"Hey guys." the brunette said.
"Hey Jaq." Marnie greeted her looking up from the chess game.
She said. "That was a quick Quidditch match."
Marnie explained everything to her. By the time dinner came around, they were halfway through the game per usual. They walked down to the Great Hall.
"Madison isn't at the Gryffindor table." Marnie noticed.
Atticus offered. "Maybe she's in the Gryffindor common room."
"She usually doesn't miss meals. Something must be wrong."
To calm his best friend's worries Atticus said. "I'm sure she's okay."
Marnie pushed her plate away and sauntered over to the Gryffindor table.
"Hey Marnie," Lee greeted smiling at her.
She relaxed at his smile. "I know you probably don't pay attention to the second years but I noticed my sister Madison isn't here."
Lee glanced around. "You're right I don't pay attention to second years."
"I assume she's in the Gryffindor common room."
"Do you want me to take to the common room after dinner?" Lee offered.
She smiled. "I'd like that."
"Don't you have detention after dinner, Jordan?" Angelina asked.
He face palmed. "Angelina's right, I can't show you to the common room."
"Can one of you show me to the common room instead?" she asked eying her fellow fourth years.
"I will." Alicia said.
"Okay, thanks. Spinnett." she smiled at the Italian girl before she walked away from the Gryffindor table.
She walked back to the Ravenclaw table and sat down.
"Is someone going to show you to the Gryffindor common room?" Jaq asked.
Marnie nodded as she took a bite of her meal. "Lee offered but he has detention so Spinnett is going to show me."
"How many detentions has he received this year?"
"I don't know."
They continued eating and chatting. After dinner she parted ways with her friends and found Alicia outside the Great Hall.
"You ready to go, Jacobs?" she asked shortly.
"Yes."
Alicia nodded as they begin walking to the Gryffindor common room in silence. Alicia recited the password and they walked in.
Marnie saw her sister on the couch. "Madison?"
"What are you doing here?" the redhead snapped.
Marnie sat down next to her sister. "I noticed you weren't at dinner."
"It's none of your business."
"Maddie." she coaxed.
The little redhead said. "It's kind of a girl thing."
"I'm your big sister, Maddie. You want me to take you to the Hospital Wing?"
Madison nodded. The two girls quickly left the common room and made their way to the Hospital Wing.
"What can I do for you, Miss Jacobs?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
Madison looked up shyly at the matron.
"Ah, I've seen that look on many young girl's faces many a year."
Madison breathed a sigh of relief as the matron gave her some pain potions if she needed them and some toiletries.
"You should be all set, Miss Jacobs."
Madison said quietly. "Thanks Madame Pomfrey."
"You're welcome, Miss Jacobs."
The two sisters walked out of the Hospital Wing and started walking back towards the Gryffindor common room.
"Did you see that Hermione was petrified?" Madison asked.
Marnie said. "I didn't notice."
"That's what McGonagall had to show me, Harry and Ron earlier today. I now feel horrible about what I said over Christmas Break about the people who were petrified were idiots." Madison said regretfully.
Marnie patted her back as they reached the Gryffindor common room.
"Thanks for everything, Mar." she thanked her older sister.
Marnie smiled. "No problem."
Madison recited the password and walked into the Gryffindor common room. Marnie started walking towards the Ravenclaw common room.
"Hey Marnie!" Lee exclaimed when they ran into each other.
She smiled. "Hey Lee, just got out of detention?"
"Yeah, that explains why I'm out but what about you?"
Marnie said. "That's private actually."
"Okay, you want me to escort you back to the Ravenclaw common room?"
She smiled thankfully. "I can handle it thanks."
"Alright."
She bid adieu to the dreadlocked boy and continued walking back to Ravenclaw Tower. She answered the riddle and walked up to her dorm.
"So, what was wrong with Madison?" Jaq asked immediately from her bed.
"Girl stuff, we had to go to the Hospital Wing for some pain potions and toiletries."
Jaq nodded. Marnie did her routine and crawled into bed thinking about the events of the day.
