Thoughts
It was a quiet Thursday as Madison walked into the library. The leaves around Hogwarts had turned into beautiful fall colours and the gentle breeze was making the sweaty feeling after Quidditch practice not feel so bad. She'd finished her classes for the day and, whilst most kids probably were in their dorms relaxing after class, Madison had decided to go to the library and get some work done. Madison, being the person that she is, was always neatly presented, even in her school uniform. Her hair was done neatly, her uniform still sharp looking, even though her top button was undone, it was hidden by her tie, though with it being the end of the day, who would mind.
Once Madison arrived at the library, she found herself an empty table and sat herself down, making sure she had her Charms homework, Flying homework and Herbology homework all laid out. As Madison was getting stuck into her Heroblogy homework, she saw someone else walk into the library and recognised him. Her boyfriend Simon had talked about his two friends in Ravenclaw that he shared a dorm with. Zach was a boy Madison had already met and from memory, the other boy was called Cassian. Madison smiled and got back to doing her Herbology homework, however realising she needed a book from the shelf behind her, she got up and went to grab it when she saw Cassian walking over.
Madison smiled and walked over to him, clutching the book in her hand, "Hey, you're Cassian right? I'm Madison Bennett, I'm pretty sure you're friends with my boyfriend Simon" she said with a giggle, as she sat back down at her table and put the book down. "Feel free to sit at the table with me if you want to, I don't mind at all" she said with another smile.

Interacting with @Madison Bennett
Cassian entered the library, searching for a empty place to begin his studying. Honestly, his classes would be so much more interesting if he didn't always have to study for them. Or take tests. Maybe that was why Defense Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures were his favorite classes. There wasn't as much textbook reading as the other classes he had. Today he was supposed to alter a potions recipe, which meant lots of math and meticulous concentration. He wasn't excited for it.
As he was looking for an empty table a pretty blonde girl approached him. She was Hufflepuff and a second year. Cassian recognized her, but couldn't remember how he knew her.
She introduced herself, "Hey, you're Cassian right? I'm Madison Bennett, I'm pretty sure you're friends with my boyfriend Simon."
"Ohhh yeah! Madison! Yeah, Simon talks about you all the time. A lot," Cassian grinned thinking about all the mushy romance stuff Simon had shared in their dorm. From what he'd heard, Simon and Madison were very happy, and Cassian was happy for them. Simon was one of the best guys around and Madison seemed like a good match for him.
Madison invited him over to her study table and Cassian accepted. As they both settled into their chairs and began their studying Cassian struggled what to say. It was a good thing Madison seemed social and outgoing enough to help him along in the conversation.
"So, Simon said he showed you the secret passageway from the Trophy Room. I mean, I thought it was just for the boys, but I'm sure you guys made good use of the privacy thought," Cassian grinned again. He loved teasing Simon about his girlfriend and from what he'd heard from Simon, Madison was pretty funny and witty enough to play along.
"But seriously, though. I actually don't know a whole lot about you. Other than the stuff Simon shares with us." Cassian continued, "Where are you from? What's your family like? And what for the love of Merlin do you even see in Simon?" He couldn't help but add the little joke at the end. Of course he knew why she liked Simon. He was one of Cassian's best friends and really was great guy.

Madison giggled as a deep blush fell to her cheeks. Simon talks about me a lot, oh boy she thinks to herself. Cassian seemed like a nice boy, someone she could definitely see Simon getting along with quite easily.
"Oh yeah he did, and yes, you could say that we made good use of it" Madison said, giggling more as Cassian teased her. She could see herself and Cassian becoming good friends, someone who was easy to hang out with and was always up for a good laugh.
As she continued her Herbology homework, Cassian kept talking about Simon and asking Madison questions. Madison looked up from her homework, smiled and giggled. "That's true. Well, my family lives in the West side of Kensington, a slightly more affluent area. My mother is the head of the Accidental Reversal Squad, my dad is an ex professional Quidditch player who used to play for England's national team, and my older brother is actually in Ravenclaw in his fourth year, his name is James" Madison said, taking a breath from saying so much.
What do I see in Simon? Madison thought and giggled, writing a few sentences down for her homework before putting it to the side, in order for her to engage better with Cassian. "That is actually a very good question. I guess, I just can always be myself around him. I never have to worry about feeling judged, hurt or ridiculed because, well, it's Simon. He makes me laugh and, we've been friends since he helped me into one of the boats our first year" Madison said, trying to make sure her mind didn't drift too much.
Madison did some more of her homework, however soon she needed a break, she was certainly not a ravenclaw in this respect, and the library was still empty, so Madison smiled and decided that it was time she got to know one of her boyfriends good friends.
"Anyways, tell me more about you Cassian, Simon doesn't really talk about you or many of his other friends. Where are you from? What's your family like? What were your first thoughts when Simon told you he had a girlfriend? And why on earth are you friends with a boy who grovels his breakfast down like it's a smoothie?" Madison asked with a giggle

Oh my gosh Madi I'm sooo soooo sorry for posting so late! AHHHH!!
Interacting with @Madison Bennett
Madison launched into a series of replies to Cassian's questions and he realized he didn't mean to ask so many all at once. It was just strange, sitting across from her, listening to her voice and seeing how her eyes lit up when she talked about Simon. It was strange because Cassian had heard so much about Madison and now he was finally meeting her. Sort-of like meeting a celebrity? It felt weird, but she was exactly just as Simon had described her, right down to the blushing and giggles. Girls, Cassian thought.
"Well, my family lives in the West side of Kensington, a slightly more affluent area," Madison explained. Affluent. Cassian knew only seriously wealthy people would use the word, "affluent." It was similar in America. Cassian's cousins at Ilvermorny would say, "well-to-do" instead of rich. Cassian knew his mother came from a rich family, but gave up all the wealth and prestige to live in the UK with Cassian's muggle father.
That was interesting because Simon had never mentioned that Madison came from a wealthy family, perhaps it wasn't all that important.
When Madison began to explain why she liked Simon, Cassian couldn't help but grin. Not only was it very clear how much she liked him, but also because Cassian had felt the same way about Simon. Not in the same romantic way or anything and Cassian didn't know Simon as well as she did, but Cassian understood what she meant about Simon not being judgmental. It was nice.
"Anyways, tell me more about you Cassian, Simon doesn't really talk about you or many of his other friends. Where are you from? What's your family like? What were your first thoughts when Simon told you he had a girlfriend? And why on earth are you friends with a boy who grovels his breakfast down like it's a smoothie?". Clearly Madison wasn't in a mood for studying and Cassian definitely agreed. But then, he reminded himself, that he was never in the mood for studying. And right now seemed like a great moment to make a new friend.
"Okay, let's see." Cassian tapped his quill against his chill, absently dotting it with fresh black ink. "My family is pretty great, I'd say. My mom's an American witch from Arionza and my dad is a muggle from England. They met in Arizona when he was on an archeology dig. Oh! I also have an older sister, Eloise, she's a Hufflepuff. Two years older than us." Suddenly Cassian realized something and started to laugh. Madison, a Hufflepuff, had a 4th year brother in Ravenclaw. And Cassian, a Ravenclaw, had a 4th year sister in Hufflepuff. That was funny. "Ya know, maybe we could introduce our siblings. I know Eloise is looking for a boyfriend, although she'd never admit it." Cassian chuckled again.
Cassian couldn't help but laugh and agree with Madison when she joking mentioned how quickly and quite messily Simon ate his breakfast. He found himself laughing a lot with Madison and it was nice.

Thoughts
Madison smiled, it was nice meeting Cassian after hearing Simon talk so much about him. When he mentioned that his sister was in her 4th year and was a Hufflepuff like Madison, she thought back to when she was sitting at the table in the Great Hall. "No way, that sounds awesome, I love history, though I'm more partial to Flying and Herbology in terms of subjects" Madison said with a smile.
As Cassian suggested introducing their siblings, Madison giggled softly and thought for a bit. "I mean maybe, though James spends most of his time in the library or in his dorm room. He'll come out to watch me play Quidditch occasionally but he's very studious. Social when he wants or needs to be and has a few close friends, but he's very study heavy so to speak" Madison said with a smile. She laughed with Cassian when they talked about how messily Simon eats his breakfast, then she started thinking about him. She hadn't seen Simon in a while and missed him. They used to spend a lot of time together, pretty much any time they weren't in class, Madison and Simon Tilia would be somewhere either within the school or the school grounds.
Madison however soon shook herself out of those thoughts and got back to doing some studying. She soon finished her Herbology homework and got started on her Charms homework, though she soon needed a break. As she was looking around, she noticed her brother James sitting at a desk on the other side of the library. "Cassian look, is that your sister on that table? If so, that guy is my brother at the same table she is at" Madison said in a whisper.
