Maddie wasn't exactly learning Gobbledegook, but she'd missed out on that underwater voyage that had lead to the treasure. No way was she missing out on a second field trip! When she'd owled her mom about signing the permission slip, Layla Kemp had been somewhat confused. Her daughter? Gobbledegook? Nevertheless, she'd signed the form, and Maddie kept it securely in her pocket as she headed to the study hall.

When she got there, she expected a crowd, but it was only a house elf, Emmalyn, and the Headmistress. "Hey, Emmalyn!" she greeted. The second year girl had become a good friend of Maddie's, and she was glad they'd ended up in the same house. "Hello, Headmistress! Tippin!" Did she overhear that they'd be using the fireplace? Awesome! Maddie always loved that way of traveling!
