be curious, not judgmental

...Oh, Merlin. Loads of people. Loads of old familiar friends and peers kind of people. Faces that Maximus James could have lived without seeing again, and faces that he saw often, and faces that he wished he saw more often - but as soon as he stepped toward the Ravenclaw table to go see where his fiancée was, he stopped.

And there came the feelings.

Nostalgia hit him in the chest like a brick, and he actually brought a hand up to place over his aching heart. So many memories - mostly good ones - came flooding back, and the sight of Vashti, Ellie, Vivi, Louisa, and Spike all conjugated together at the Ravenclaw table made actual tears pool in his eyes.

Instead of going over to say hello, the former Ravenclaw turned his back to them by the door of the Great Hall and cleared his throat, taking a moment to choke back emotions. He took his glasses off to keep them from fogging up, but he was not going to cry in front of them, no. No. Not today.

But his friends. All in one place.

The party don't start till I walk in.

Becca Parker didn't plan on staying long, not unless the two people she wanted to see most were there and wanted her to stay - Cela and Cope, of course - so naturally the first thing she did upon entering the room was look for them. She saw Max along the way, her old Arrows teammate, and he appeared... to be... crying? What? At least overly emotional, and that was concerning, so Becca marched right on over, ruffled the young man's hair, and gave him a booty-bump to the hip. "Cheer up, James. This is a happy occasion," she chimed as she continued walking by, shooting the Keeper a cheeky sort of grin. If baby James was here, he surely brought his mum, too, didn't he? Becca would keep an eye out for her, then. She loved that woman.

Setting her sights for the Ravenclaw table, Becca skimmed the faces currently present. She saw many familiar ones, like Ellie and Vashti who had both grown up beautifully, but before she could even throw them so much as a wave, there. She spotted them, and a wave of relief washed over her. Friends. Good.

Strutting down the walkway between the two tables - hey, athletes could look smokin' in formal attire, too - Becca Parker arrived behind Celandine Toussaint Kettleburn and gave her a few gentle taps on the shoulder. "Head Girl Toussaint? D'you remember that time you let a weregoat eat my pillow?" The memory struck her suddenly and a grin kept onto her face as she made grabby hands for a hug. Cope got smiles, too, and... a Plymouth Morgan?

Fantastic.
