"Hai Headmistress Truebridge!!!!!" BEAM. "I didn't know you liked cupcakes so much." The lady was clearly having a moment. "Did you enjoy the match today??"

It was always RIGHT AFTER, like IMMEDIATELY after taking a bite of food, that someone insisted on coming up to you to start a conversation. Anastasia had this same problem when she dined out at cheaper restaurants; the waiter always wanted to ask how things were when her mouth was full. It was as if they didn't really want an answer, they just wanted to make her feel ridiculous with a mouth chock full of food.

Alexa Cambridge was being like a waiter to her now. Mer-lin!

"C-Cambridge," the redhead choked out, swallowing the now lumpy, no-longer-tasty pastry. She gave the girl a solid LOOK, as though her blue eyes could ex-ray her for any mischief. She was surely up to SOMETHING here with all her QUESTIONS. "I just... it was only... I mean... ONE... just... I don't like cupcakes THAT much," she clucked and swiped another little cake off the table, hiding it behind her back. Ahem.

"I did enjoy the match today, thank you. Both teams played tremendously well. I'm proud of Hufflepuff." She gave the Gryffindor a firm nod. "Are you looking forward to summer?" Best to keep the subject away from her and her own love of cupcakes.

Escorted by Max, Erin arrived at the celebration tent at the back end of the crowd - naturally, as she had to shoo stragglers off the pitch - and entered the find that, thankfully, the tent hadn't been destroyed with any sort of vandalism during the match. It was lovely, she thought.

But what would her son think of it? He would be brutally honest. "How does it look?" Erin asked in a whisper, leaning into Max with her hand wrapped around his elbow.

---

Max was, quite honestly, terrified of coming to the celebration. He had slipped away from the wonderful group he had sat with in the stands - Vivi, Ellie, Treyen, other cool alumni - to flock to his mother because he knew he was remotely safe with her. Safe from... awkward run-ins with people who would certainly ask about Emmaleigh, or the young woman herself. So, being a true mama's boy, Max didn't mind meandering down to the tent with her. No shame in that.

Though that meant he did have to endure Hufflepuff teasings in whispers from his mother along the way. He could take it; he knew he would've done the same thing if Ravenclaw had won the match. And he would rather spend those minutes voyaging to the tent discussing the Hogwarts Quidditch season rather than being pulled into uncomfortable conversations about Em.

"It looks like someone's getting married," Max noted, his eyes scanning the length of the massive tent, "but good. Classy. Nice... placement of food." And by that he was referring to how it was everywhere. So much food. He was tempted to politely depart from his mother and dive for a plate, but... then he saw her. Em. She was... there already.

Max stayed right by his mother's side for the time being.

Well. She supposed it wasn't bad that it looked like a wedding, right? That meant it was formal, neatly done, extravagant - after all, weddings were typically the most important day of a woman's life, weren't they? So it couldn't be bad. "Splendid! I was worried about it being too underdone - I'm glad you approve." If Max didn't think it was poorly done, it was likely that Annie wouldn't disapprove either.

Ah, and there she was!

Pulling her son along with her, Erin headed for Truebridge, just as she was devouring a pastry. "Let's go see Annie!" she whispered excitedly to her son, not giving him much choice in the matter - "Annie!" - and soon enough they were by Annie's side, Erin positively beaming at her old yearmate, housemate, and fellow Chaser.

"I can't say I'm surprised that they won," Erin told the woman quickly right away, lowering her voice so that only Annie and Max could hear, "but I'm sure glad they did!" She laughed a bit, and then, "A nice welcome-back-to-Hogwarts present. You know Maximus, don't you?"

---

Quite stereotypically, Max pulled a mum, you're embarrassing me face up until the moment the two gained the attention of the Headmistress, by which time he put on a bright, sparkling smile. "Nice to see you again, Headmistress," the former Ravenclaw extended a polite hand to shake, the now-genuine smile not leaving his face. Then he became very aware of his surroundings - was Vivi there yet? Or Ellie? Could he politely leave the Hufflepuffs to themselves?

Oh thank Merlin, another adult to converse with. Saved from the Cambridge! Annie gratefully greeted her old Housemate with a smile and nod of approval for her dress. "You look great in purple," she informed the flying instructor, of course not missing how dapper her boy looked when he wasn't slouching around in quidditch attire.

"Of course I am QUITE proud to see the trophy go to the right house," the redhead whispered right back to the flying instructor. "I'm not surprised the Puffs pulled it off either!" She straighened back up and nodded at Max. Yes, she remembered him!

"Nice to see you again too, Mr. James," Annie gave the boy, who was CLEARLY being mum'd to death, a humorous smile. "Are you enjoying life as a graduate?"

MAX!

The blonde had been scanning the tent for friends when she saw him and her face immediately lit up. He was here! HE WAS HERE! Just like he said he'd be. Oh and she was smiling, did he notice? That was their deal, yeah? She'd be all smiles and he would be too? Only...he didn't look very smiley right now. Nope, he looked lonely and in need of an Ella hug and sooo...

TACKLE!HUG!

"MAX!" She said excitedly, wrapping her arms around her Hogwarts older brother and squeezing gently. "You're here! I mean...I knew you were coming but it's so good to see you and I missed you so much and I..."

O____________O

Oh Merlin!

She'd interrupted. She'd interrupted Max talking to Professor James and the Headmistress.

FACE!PALM

"I am so sorry." She said sheepishly, stepping back from Max and giving an apologetic smile to the professor and headmistress. "I didn't mean to interrupt or anything, I was just very excited to see Max." Nod.Nod.Shuffle. Come on Ella, lay on the charm. "Erm...you both look really nice, y'know."

Yup. Smooooooth.

The Hufflepuff Keeper was also a Maximus James fan, it seemed. Good for the boy, he had friends other than his mother. Annie stood there and awkwardly watched the PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION known as hugging take place right in front of her, and then smirked when the girl try to cover it all up by complimenting her.

Well, luckily for her, that worked. "Thank you, dear, excellent job on the pitch today. Bishop, is it?"
