The next day Madison woke up alone, she was naked but had a blanket over her. She stretched and yawned, feeling her whole body release, relaxing and waking up.

"Malfy?" She called out, getting herself up on her elbows. She heard Alfie coughing, clearing his throat while looking away from her in respect for her indecency.

"Master Malfoy left before the sun was up Mistress..."

"Oh" she wrapped herself in the blanket, getting up to the bathroom, "did he say anything to you as to why he was leaving?"

Alfie shook his head.

"Would you like something from the kitchens?" The kind elf asked, in a hurry to leave her to get dressed and ready.

"No, thank you Alfie, I'm fine..."

He snapped his fingers and was gone, leaving her to herself and her thoughts.

She took a shower and got ready, made her bed nicely, picked up the dirty towel from the ground to send it to the laundry, and finally got her uniform all ready for the night, when the other students would arrive.

She picked up an apple from the Great Hall and went to the library where she worked on her notes and separated everything she'd need for the term, and to study for her O.W.L.s.

Throughout her day she caught herself dozing off into very vivid flashed of last night, her first time, how it had beed actually lovely.

She wondered where Draco was, if he had gone home to actually take the Hogwarts Express to meet his friends, and why the hell didn't he at least leave a note. It sort of hurt to know how careless he was after the night they had, but eventually she'd hear from him, a good excuse she hoped.

Madison was anxious for another wizard to arrive, her newest friend Harry Potter. She wanted to know all about the hearing and more, she wanted to know everything she possibly could about the boy with the lightning scar, it even gave her butterflies.

The clock hit seven at night and the boats and carriages started to arrive, she was really nervous but decided to wait, to get there a little late so she wouldn't have to sit alone. Her friends Luna and Cho usually took forever as well, so she sat on her desk, all ready with the full uniform, looking at Harry's letter.

The Great Hall looked all ready for reception, the candles floated nicely and the fireplaces cracked, all the sconces were lit and the House tables were polished nicely, Madison knew how many elves it took to keep the school running, some thought it was just a load of cleaning magic. She sat down the Ravenclaw table, saying hello to her colleagues, trying not to look around nervously for anyone when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Madison" he muttered.

She turned to see Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Harry! Hello..." Madi said sweetly, getting off the bench to greet them.

"I don't know if you've met before but... this is Ron and this is..."

"Hermione Granger" she said, giving the muggle born her hand to shake, "I know you guys, we've had classes together, but it's nice to properly meet"

Ron and Hermione had smirks on their faces, like they were there to see Harry make a wrong move or something they could make fun of him later.

"Madison Rowle, it's a pleasure" she shook both their hands.

"Pleasure" Hermione answered, a little bothered that Ron was staring at Madison for a bit too long, "we'll be at our table Harry, see you later Madison" she grabbed Ron by the forearm while he waved bye to her and Harry.
