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!"

A drink! That would be splendid. Mattie gladly followed him to the stand and tried not to be too picky when it came to what sort of refreshment. Slipping into the seat beside Max, Mattie was reminded of all the nice times they'd had in Hogwarts. They'd had a good group of people in their house that year, and the only drama that Mattie may have run into was trying not to embarrass her little Slytherin sister. Though, when Melania's name was brought up, the word drama blared between her ears. She took a long drink in an attempt to hide her flash of memories about Max's best friend.

"Italy must be beautiful this time of the year," Mattie said, putting her drink down. Her family used to travel a lot when she was little, but as she grew older Mattie had brewed up excuses to stay behind and miss the trips. She'd begun to feel uncomfortable at the highly formal settings, unable to manage the long evenings without growing antsy and preoccupied with inappropriate things like sneaking away into the gardens with boys, or---hm.

Mattie patted Max's knee excitedly, "I'm so glad to see you! How's your job going? Oh, I was scared no one would show--We should do this more often! I don't necessarily have to be on stage, of course--what's the biggest beast you've healed?"

Her mind flitted a bit when she was excited and Mattie took a deep breath. She sent him an apologetic smile. "Er--I mean, if your schedule isn't too busy, of course. Maybe then I can get my questions out in an orderly fashion..."

He glanced down at his knee for a moment, temporarily distracted by Mattie's sudden touch. Max stared, thinking for a brief moment before slipping back into attentive consciousness. Had she ever done that before? In school? Had that been... something they did?

"Uh," Max faltered, his mind still lagging to catch up. What had been the question? Questions. He let out a laugh and rubbed the side of his face slowly. Eventually, his mind caught up and he attempted his best to answer her questions. "Um---"

"A winged horse," Max nodded with enthusiasm, raising his hands up wide and far apart to help emphasize just how big the magical creature was. Of course, it hadn't been all by himself and he would hardly call it a job yet, as he felt he was doing much more studying than being paid to do a job. But his studies would lead to a job, so that was what mattered, in the end. "I love it, I love what I'm doing and the people in my program, and it's really--- it's really nice, it feels right."

Looking down at his knees, Max swallowed before continuing. Smiling faintly, he turned his head slightly to look at Mattie out of the corner of his eye. "It would be great to see you more. It's been very long, I'd almost forgotten...." Max trailed off, relatively unsure of what he was even saying. His mind still felt slow, lethargic from the heat and hyped up from... well, he wasn't sure what, but it felt on edge. Perhaps from attending this event lonesome; usually wherever he went it wasn't without a partner to attend with. "It's been a long time."
