THIS WAS SECOND YEAR, PEOPLE.

Second YEARRRRR. You know what that means?! Maddie held her head high and grinned like she had just blown the best bubble gum bubble EVERRRR. She was no longer one of the little kids around this place! Sure, she acted like one. Sure, she might need the older kids to help her six bazillion times a day. Sure, she was only twelve and still didn't have that 'TEEN' word behind her age...

...but she WASN'T A FIRSTIE.

"HELLO, HOGWARTS!" she said, not too loud but definitely not too soft. SO who were the new prefects?! Who were the HEAD HONCHOS this year?! Were there any new professors? Because she had really JUST learned the names of the ones she met last year.
