'Maine!' Jackie half-shouted. 'Hey man! I didn't see you. Did ya come late or something?'

Maine looked up from the nearly finished report to face the loud voice. It sounded oddly familiar...

Oh, it was Jackie. "Hi, Jackie! No, actually I got here a while ago..."

It was sad that Maine didn't think she had time for it anymore. Maybe it would be better eventually, after things had blown off.

Wait, he could ask? She was granting her co-worker permission to ask a personal question? Leo honestly hadn't expected to be told yes. "If he was so horrible," he began. "Why did you end up with him in the first place?" There had to be a reason. Maine was smart, and levelheaded from what Leo had seen. She wasn't one of those school-girls that would get married to their Hogwarts boyfriend at age 17, was she?

Maine shook her head. "Not no time for music. No time to play. My piano's feeling rather abandoned..."

"Music on brooms? That's awesome, but a little dangerous, don't you think? Imagine the professional Quidditch players. Humming along to their favorite tune, then WHAM- Bludger."

Leo hadn't been expecting a yes. The shock was so blatantly obvious. After he composed himself, he asked her the one question she'd been dreading.

CRAP!

"I... Leo, I didn't have a choice. It was arranged almost as soon as I was born." Maine said quietly. "As soon as I left Beauxbatons, I found out that I was engaged to this guy -about 5 years older. No surprise really. You see, I have very pureblood-supremacist parents. They wanted to keep the line pure. "-scoff- "And so, barely 17, I was married to an abusive, alcoholic, pureblood husband."

"I had to stay with him until about a year ago, when I found out he was cheating on me. Took the case to the French Ministry, then moved to London. I was terrified of what would happen if he found me, but it seems that he's alright now..."

Maine shuddered, unconsciously rubbing her wrist, where there were once burn scars. "It took me 3 years to save up enough money to start over here, but everything's okay now, I guess..."
