Max managed a smirk, looking out over the pitch as Ellie acknowledged him. "Eliana," he spoke formally - no one listening in or glancing at them would have even known they were the best of friends, what with how nonchalantly Max was acting about being reunited with her - but, to be fair, he was having a tough time channeling emotions in the first place. "Lovely day for Quidditch, isn't it? Should be a good game. Hopefully your brother shines as brightly as you." That was a bit more Max.

"Merlin, you're impatient," she poked him between the shoulder blades as she passed through the row behind him, climbed over the bench, and found a seat. Oh, still a pretty good view of the pitch from here... Max was forgiven for moving on her.
Vivi leaned around and waved at the girl sitting beside Max. "Hey. I'm Vivi. Max has been hiding me in the closet because I'm not really socially acceptable. Are you a Ravenclaw fan or a Hufflepuff fan? Be careful... there is a right answer."
When a thin finger jabbed at Max's back, he leaped to his feet instinctively and whirled around, knowing only one person would ever demand his attention in such a way. "Sorry I didn't mean to I was just saying hi I didn't know where you were," he said all too quickly and nervously, but a smile began to form as his gaze properly fell upon Vivi's soft features. She sounded upset, but she didn't really look it. As Vivi sat down, Max did, too, obediently - and positively beamed when his Ravenclaw yearmate took the initiative to introduce herself to his best friend, even though he didn't quite understand what Vivi was saying. Socially acceptable? What was she rambling on about?

"Good to meet you, Vivi. Ellie." That was her. And it WAS good to meet this friend of Max's. As for what house she was a fan of, Ellie plucked her t-shirt straight so Vivi could better read it. "Former captain," she proudly stated.
And, yes, Treyen. "My boyfriend." ...Now, Ellie truly rolled her eyes at him. The Arrows? Really? Nevertheless, she giggled. "Looks like you're vastly outnumbered, Hufflepuff." Yes, she called him out on it. And yes, she knew Vivi was a Ravenclaw. Max mentioned her quite a few times, you know.
Max was also glad that Ellie seemed equally as pleased to meet Vivi. Good on you, Ellie, even with your shameless reminder of your former Captainhood.

Seriously, the amount of Ravenclaws he knew was...well, he definitely knew a lot of them. Though, Max was an Ellie addition. But Jim, Neptune, Louisa...hey, Vickers was around. But his attention shifted from Max to the newcomer...Vivi. And he chuckled before nodding towards her. "Vivi, I'm Treyen," WAAAAAIT...the name...Louisa mentioned a Vivi, didn't she? "The right answer is Appleby Arrows," right, Max?
Actually, the right answer was Hufflepuff. To him.
"Nice to see you, Treyen," Max mused in greeting, rather casually glancing between Ellie and Treyen. They were quite the pair, weren't they? The former Ravenclaw Keeper gave a short, abrupt burst of laughter when Treyen very unexpectedly acknowledged the Arrows. "What?" he chuckled, turning to catch Vivi's response to Treyen's answer. Well. He HAD... sort of... answered the question. With a good answer, after all. Better than admitting that he was cheering for Hufflepuff while surrounded by former Ravenclaw Quidditch players.
Text Cut: Minerva Quote:

She hoped there would be enough people around that she wouldn't run into certain people. Now that she had lost of few close friends she wasn't even sure who she would sit with. Walking up the stands her eyes looked around, there were so many alumni there. Minerva's smile grew, this made things so much better. She walked to find a seat, but stopped to say hi as she did. The first two she came to were Max and Vivi. A little nervous to say hi to Vivi after last term Minerva gave a small smile. "Hi Max.. Hi Vivi.. Good to see you both again, how is life outside of Hogwarts." Minerva hoped they would tell her great things so she had something to look forward to.
Ah - a long lost face. "Minerva," Max managed a smile and a slightly half-hearted wave of his hand, mostly because he felt uneasy and awkward. Small talk was so stressful for him. "Nice to see you as well - life is a dream," he replied smoothly, the sarcasm subtle in his final statement. It was a dream for the most part, minus his recent break-up. But... that kind of thing was a part of life, wasn't it? He couldn't complain otherwise.
Tilting his head away from his cozy group of good people, Max dared to peer around the stands and steal a glance at those behind and around him - Vickers was over yonder with an older man, which was good in the sense that he made it to the match, too, but Max felt bad for borrowing his girlfriend for the time being. Would Vickers come over and sit with them at some point and make Max feel a little less bad? And... aha! Vashti was coming! There was no surprise for Max, but he saw her intentions and kept his mouth shut, all the way up until Vashti's greeting - then he proceeded to extend an arm, wanting to pull her in for an awkward, twisting hug. "Vashti," he beckoned with a gentle smile, a bit less enthusiastically than he wanted to sound. He didn't even notice the new redheaded arrival nearby. "How've you been?" And, almost instantly after asking, without even thinking, he added with a gesture to his side, "Oh, Vash, this is Vivi Branxton. She's super cool - a really good Quidditch player, she transferred from Beauxbatons for our seventh year. Ravenclaw, naturally, and wicked clever. Vivi, this is Vashti Greenwell - erm, Amstern now, but y'know Penelope Greenwell? - her sister. A dynamite Ravenclaw Chaser. Head Girl. Cool stuff like that."
No, Vivi. He was not going forget about you in the midst of old friends and leave you out.
