Maddie really lucked out when she asked for a partner, because not even a whole minute later, one of the older girls agreed to partner up with her. "I bet you are super duper smart. You look like a...seventh year," Maddie decided, "and you have to know a lot of things to get all the way to seventh year." And if she wasn't a seventh year, then she was close enough to it. "Thanks for working with me, Katy! I'm Maddie Kemp." She would launch into the whole 'first year Hufflepuff' thing, too, but she was prettyyy sure that part was obvious.

Where did she want to start? Katy should probably be told how long it had taken Maddie to find most of the bathrooms in this castle. Most of her classes, too. She had no idea where she wanted to start, and her facial expression probably said just that. "Hmm...well, first of all, can you help me with the whole protective gear? What do I need to put on?" she asked. Gloves? She had those! She pulled them out and checked that her wand was securely in its holster. "So is this like a scavenger hunt? Do you guys do this often? Should we know where to look, or is it hidden in some random place?"

You know what Maddie thought? Maddie thought they should start wherever Katy thought they should start!
