"I don't think that's it," Kurumi replied with a small shake of her head and a hint of a giggle in her tone. "You were brilliant in today's match and I don't think she felt bad for you for being brilliant because that seems like a rather counterproductive thing to feel sorry for someone." Even if the woman was a bit of a loon... Kurumi probably shouldn't have pointed out the plaque to begin with, allow her slight jealousy to get the best of her in that moment. Max deserved it because he had been brilliant. She didn't mind losing this round to a Ravenclaw because the Ravenclaw in question really was deserving.

"A pro? Hardly," she laughed. "I don't plan on turning it into anything more than a school hobby. Sports and competitive things just aren't...suited for me." And now she was back to chewing on her lip...and averting her eyes when Max questioned her a bit about Quidditch. SEE. She really WAS rubbish at the sport if Max didn't even recall what position she had played. Awkwardly shuffling her feet so as not to stumble over some pebbles, Kurumi tangled one of her hands in her long black hair. "I was...Seeker...for two terms...we actually played against each other...the last match I ever played...ever plan to play in really..."

Because that match had completely shattered her spirits. Her confidence as well.

Blushing a bit, Kurumi glanced back at Max with a small smile tugging on her lips. "I...guess...but I suppose I just feel like it isn't enough," she replied with a small shrug. "Not to mention some of those things are for my own personal benefit and not just my house." Like being top of the class. THAT was to ensure she got into the university of her choice when it really came down to things. "Just wish I would stop calling a quaffle a waffle...if Selina had Mortimer back I am pretty sure she would have beaten me over the head with it by now."

Ugh. Her praise made him feel bad because he certainly thought all the same things about her. "No. I still think you were the best." It seemed that they were both too stubborn for their own good. "You're the closest thing I've ever seen to a gobstones genius."

Or something.

Oh. Had he offended her by not remembering her? Max observed with a guilty expression as she seemed to nervously run a hand through her hair. So she had played Seeker? "Oh - that's probably why. Until this term, the only Seeker I ever really noticed was Ellie Stone. She's... my best friend, y'know? And I had a huge crush on her for awhile, so... erm... don't take it too personally... that I don't exactly remember." But apparently he SHOULD have remembered. Why had it been her last... forever? Did something awful happen?

The answer was probably yes, so Max didn't ask further on the matter.

"And that's okay - you're allowed to go after things for your own personal benefit. You don't always have to look out for everyone else - sometimes, you've just got to take care of yourself," he nodded. "It is enough. You're pulling your weight well enough - you can't carry the weight of everyone on your shoulders." He gave her a soft, sad smile; he understood her need to do everything she could to be the best and make sure her house was the best, but there were more important things. Things... he wasn't going to point out at the risk of offending her.

...She called the quaffle a waffle?

Max struggled to keep a straight face at that one but smiled as he replied, "Don't worry about Selina, or... any of that stuff. You don't need to be the best at everything. You have your strengths - your countless strengths. I think you should hang onto those and not sweat the small stuff."

Right?
