With having letters sent off to her family informing them of her progress in the competition, Irene made a quick detour to the kitchens and then back to the Beetle. Fortunately she had met a very nice house elf who had given her some marshmallows, two mugs of hot chocolate, and some cookies. As she walked back to the beetle, she set the mugs floating in the air so that she could carry the rest of her things and open doors. She nodded to her fellow schoolmates as she entered the beetle and headed straight for the girl's rooms to relax.

Opening the door, she found Madelyn looking over a book. Was that a picture book? Seeing her fellow schoolmate reminded Irene of a few questions she had for her concerning Brent Westwood. However, those questions could wait. Instead she floated the hot chocolate towards the girl slowly. She hoped that she was doing alright. She hated seeing people upset especially Madelyn because Madelyn was so nice and sweet and incredible. "Hey Madelyn. Want a hot chocolate?" she grinned. "Or marshmallows? Or cookies? I befriended a house elf in the kitchens."
