Maddie waited for her twin at breakfast. "Happy 12th!" She squealed as soon as Lena came into view. Lena didn't seem to care and pulled Maddie aside by her bad arm.

"Hey! Ouch!"

"You forgot, didn't you?!"

"What do you--" Maddie gasped. She felt a bump in her left pocket. The potion.

Lena nodded, not even trying to mask her aggravation. "Give it to me. I have transfiguration with Hufflepuff, but it's not until after lunch. If you want something done, you best do it yourself." Maddie shook her head, "No, I got it. Promise." She wanted to show Lena she could do it. Besides, Lena would probably get just as distracted. "No! Give it!" Lena reached for the flask, now in Maddie's hand. Maddie dropped the flask in surprise. Please don't break! Please don't break!

Luckily, it came to a safe stop... when if collided with Professor McGonagall's boot.

The headmistress bent down and carefully lifted the potion. Maddie held her breath. "Does this belong to you, girls?" They nodded in unison. She handed it to Lena.

"If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is in the vile?"

Uh-oh. "Um, it's my... medicine." Maddie tried. The headmistress furrowed her brows, "Medicine? For...?" Maddie glanced around the staircase, "I'd rather not say, if that's alright?" Professor McGonagall looked a bit taken aback, then she smiled, "Of course." With that, she tipped her pointed hat and walked into the Great Hall.

"That," Lena declared, "was close."
