SNITCH! PARTY IN THE PARK! OPEN TO ALL

She wouldn't say she flounced down the steps of the stage, but...well, okay, flouncing was a good word for it. Mattie skipped the last two steps and landed easily on the grass, feeling as if she couldn't stop moving because then the amazing feeling coursing through her would disappear and she'd never feel it again and it was just too exciting and good and awesome and she was here!

Nicola was here! In the crowd that was watching Mattie and her band perform. Her sister had come! Mattie nearly lost her place in the song when she'd spotted Nicola, but thankfully she was able to cover her slight slip up and finished the set. Food was now coming out so they'd taken an intermission and Mattie---Mattie wanted to go find her sister, she did, she wanted to go and hug her and nearly pass out from her exhilaration, but spotting Nicola from afar was a lot different than actually speaking to her and---what if she was only here because of her quidditch playing boyfriend? The one who wasn't playing anymore?

That didn't make much sense. Regardless, her sister was here, she'd seen her perform, and Mattie couldn't be any happier.

"Oomph--MAX!" Mattie let out in one big gulp of air. She had been too busy watching Nicola's head bob in and out of sight on the other side of the gathering (which was so fun and festive and just--springy) that she had not noticed her feet had kept moving and straight into Max Fancourt. Her heels sunk into the ground, still damp from the rain from the night before, and Mattie tugged her foot out. She fanned herself, feeling hot for a million reasons. "Hi, hi!"

It was as if he was on the pitch, his eyes going into the tunnel vision used to grab the snitch. Matt grabbed the man's arm and led him off the dance floor. They ended up in an empty gazebo a little bit outside the event.

"How--how could you? How did---how!" was all he could manage to say. Matt shot Delilah a look of strangled confusion before turning back to the man. "Who are you?"

The bloke put his hands up, looking quite terrified. Matt wanted to shake him, how, how had he known his brother's name? There were only a handful of people that could have possibly known!

"I was reading your world cup profile! And---and I'm muggle-born, I went to university after Hogwarts and--and my roommate was adopted and--I had always thought he looked just like you--can you let go of my arm? I think the blood stopped flowing."

Matt hadn't realized how deeply his fingers had been gripping onto the bloke's arm. He let go and stepped back, putting a hand to his head. If his heart wasn't racing so fast, he was sure he could've passed out from shock. This surely--it surely wasn't enough to truly believe this man. But if he was right. Matt felt his chest clench.

"Give me--give me your information, give me--what's your name?"

"J-John. Er---" John reached into his cloak pocket and pulled out a flyer for the Snitch! event and conjured a quill and began writing. "Caleb's my flat mate, we live in Manchester."

"Manchester--" Matt exclaimed, feeling ready to faint. He lived in Manchester? Caleb had been minutes away, just--just--- "Right, get---I have to---I---" He stuffed the flyer into his pocket and stalked out of the gazebo. He had to think, he had to think.

Everything was moving too quickly, Delilah could barely keep up as Matt practically dragged this stranger off the dance floor. Her confused words tangled into something of a yelp as managed to follow her boyfriend to the gazebo. She had never see him like this before.

"Matt!" she tried to get his attention but he didn't seem to hear her as he demanded this blokes information. Her eyes flicked between Matthew and this John---John what? Couldn't he even bother with a last name? She wasn't sure who to watch. There was something about all of this, that had her on edge. Maybe it was just that this John had bad timing, or maybe it was something else. Whatever it was, she didn't have time to think on it as here boyfriend was moving again. She hesitated half a second, studying the bloke who had just handed over the information before turning to follow.

"Matthew, wait." She called trying futility to get him to slow down. Finally she managed to grab his wrist. "Matt. Slow down. You can't--- you can't just-- what if--" You can't just go over there. What if he'd wrong? Delilah felt horrible for even thinking it, let along almost saying it aloud. But they didn't know anything about this guy, he had just shown up out of no where and suddenly had all this information.

"Don't you think you should ask this John guy a few more questions before racing off?"

Matt turned quickly to face Delilah, "I'm not! I'm not going---I just need to---I need to think."

There was a great panic striking him fiercely. Was he wasting time? Was he being played for a fool? There was no reason, no---how could this man have known his brother's name? Matt had kept Caleb such a closely guarded secret that sometimes he forgot details about his former life. It had been over ten years since he'd lost his little brother, ten long, miserable years that Matt had kept bottled up, and now it felt like the cork was about to burst and was ready to explode.

He had to breathe, he had to think and breathe. Matt put his hands on Delilah's shoulders, attempting to steady himself. Five minutes ago he was dancing on cloud nine, and now he felt like he was hurtling to the ground breaking the sound barrier.

"I'm--let me take you home and...and I've got to go back to my place. I'm got to think, I have to---" Matt shook his head and shut his eyes to catch his breath. Good or bad, Matt was certain that his life was going to change forever. His eyes flashed open and he looked at her, a nervous smile creeping on his face. "Please, I've got to do this."

Delilah stopped short not expecting Matt to turn so quickly. She didn't know what to do, what to say. She froze at his words. She wanted to go with him. Be some sort of help. The last place Delilah wanted to be was back at her flat with nothing to do but fret over how her boyfriend was dealing with the fact that he may know where his brother was.

It stung that his first thought was do drop her off and leave her behind while he dealt with it on his own. That he didn't want her there to help. Though what could she really do? Sighing slightly, Delilah reached up to cup his face gently. "Breathe, rainbow eyes. This is your thing, remember? Sunshiney optimism that is almost blinding, but you've got to remember to breathe."

She gave him a small smile and a kiss. "I'll just stay here, I think I saw Nora earlier, so I can make her entertain me." It was a lie, Delilah had no idea if Nora was at the party or not, but she didn't want Matt to think he was leaving her all alone. And if Nora wasn't here, there was always Charlie. "You go do what you need to do, and if you need anything, let me know, okay? I'm right here."
