Classroom Eleven
 

An empty classroom on the ground floor.

Maddie strolled into the little classroom and waited for Simon. She sang under her breath as she waited, Taylor Swift's White Horse. She sat on a desk and swang her legs back and forth, and played with her hair.

Simon smiled as he heard Maddie singing even if she was singing under her breath he could still hear it. "That is good Maddie." Simon smiled as he hoped that she wouldn't mind him listening. "You have a great voice." He had missed her and he was worried that she would tell him off, for not seeing her sooner.

Simon sat down next to Maddie and started to swing his feet backwards and forwards wondering what to say next, he was scared that if he said anything Maddie wouldn't believe him. "So what have you been upto lately?" He decided that was the best way to go.

'Thank you!' said Maddie, surprised he could hear her 'Up to? Not a lot... practising my music on the Room of Requirement with Amy. You?'

"You have one of the best voices I have heard." Simon smiled, well it wasn't as good as his since he had been taught to sing since he was four. "How are you?" Simon looked at Maddie again. "I haven't been upto much lately." He lied, he didn't want Maddie to know what he had done.

'Oh, really, not a lot?' smiled Maddie jokingly 'Because I hear yu lost 3 house points for setting off dungbombs...' she laughed and gave him a quick hug, to show that she didn't mind

Simon smiled and nugged Maddie. "And how on earth would you know that already?" Simon giggled. "That only happened earlier on today." Simon wondered how Maddie could know what he had done. "So are you looking forward to the lessons?"

'Oh, Amy told me!' Maddie said, giggling as well. Jeez, his laughter was infectious! 'Definitely looking forward to classes! do you know when the first one is?'

"Yeah it's the Defense Against the Dark Arts Lesson tomorrow." Simon smiled. "I can't wait for that lesson." He was so looking forward to it. "So are you going to go to the lesson?" Simon asked as he thought about what the Professor might have in store for them.

'Of course!' said Maddie 'I take it you are too... have you signed up for Quidditch trials?'

Simon smiled as he looked at Maddie. "Yeah I've signed up for the Quidditch tryouts." Simon smiled at Maddie. "Wouldn't it be good if we made it on the team?"

'Yes, wouldn't it?' said Maddie, sighing wistfully 'I'm scred of being up on a broom at the moment' she confessed 'It seems silly, but I really am terrified...'

Simon smiled at Maddie. "You'll be fine on a broom, I promise you." Simon looked at Maddie and smiled. "I'm sure you will be great." Simon gave Maddie a little hug.

'Thanks, I bet you will be too' Maddie said, and hugged Simon back, and suddenly began to cry. Oh no she thought Why now!?

Ellie walked in, curiously. What was in this little room. She walked in and saw..well... and empty classroom. Looking around she spotted something else. Maddie. Crying. She wasn't sure whether she should go up to her, seeing as she was with that kid... So she just stood in the doorway torn between comforting her friend, or leaving her with her company.

Simon looked at Maddie and gave her a hug. "What is wrong?" He asked her suddenly, he wanted to hug her again but decided not too. "You know that you can tell me." Simon gave one of his trademark smile.

'I... got a... letter, from my... mother' Maddie said, inbetween sobs, and reached into her bag for it, handiing the stupid thing over to Simon
'Madeline,
I saw the letter that you sent your father, even though I told you in no uncertain terms not to contact us in the term time. In answer to your question, no you may not come home at Christmas, you are to stay at your freak school until summer. When you arrive, you can be sure punishment will be awaiting you for disobrying me.
Antoinette Force

Simon looked at Maddie and then looked at the letter that Maddie was handing him, his face got angrier and angrier. "So is this what they think of you, well the've got a storm coming that they can't handle." Simon scribbled a message down on a piece of paper and handed it to Maddie. "Sent this to your parents."

He looked at Maddie and wondered what she would say to him.

Maddie tucked both letters into her bag again
'Simon, you really mean it? I can come to Hollian for the holiday?' Maddie asked, giving him anther hug, and wiping her tears away.

"Of course you can." Simon smiled, "Though it won't be at the main palace, it will be at my own private place, my Uncle and Father are talking at the Palice, the first time since I was five, though my cousin doesn't know she's a Princess and I'm not allowed to tell her yet." Simon sighed, he really wanted to tell his cousin.

'Your cousin... that would be Antonia?' asked Maddie hopefully 'And I don'y mind about not staying the main palace, I'll probably prefer it at your private place anyway... along as I'm away from my parents..' she shuddered involuntarily

"Well I'm sure that they won't mind me having you over." He smiled as he looked at her. "They would be glad to know I have some company my own age." Simon giggled. "Yeah that is Antonia." He said after realising he hadn't answered the question.

Oh wow. Ellie knew too much now. She made a mental note to keep all of this a secret and quietly backed out of the room and toward.... the lake maybe? That would be nice. Yes, she'd go to the lake.

Amy burst into the empty classroom and sank down against the door, crying, her eyes red and her mascara running down her face, she rocked again and again over the door, cursing herself again and again

Maddie saw Amy inside and ventured towards her. She didn't speak, she just set the music Amy had written, fixed back together with a neat little charm, on the des beside her.
