Her blush bloomed across her cheeks. Mattie had known that some of her friends would be in the audience, but she had been focusing all of her attention on finding her sister that she hadn't spotted their faces. For Max of all people to be the first to greet her was overwhelming, and she really, truly hoped he hadn't listened too closely to some of the lyrics of her opening number.
It was so easy to fancy a person from a distance. Mattie's time in the muggle world allowed her to truly fantasize about the what-ifs and maybes when it came to her friends and family back in the magical community. Now that she was stepping back into their world, perhaps she wouldn't be able to so freely express her feelings if it meant having to confront those she was actually writing about.
"Thanks!" she said, truly grateful. "I feel like I'm more background noise than anything, with all these famous players milling about, but." Mattie bobbed her head back and forth in a pleased manner. Even if she was just providing some atmosphere for the event, it was a great way to meet people and see how the crowd responded to her music.
"Are you having fun? Are you here with anyone?" Mattie asked quickly, not realizing that she had not-only-rhymed, but had not so discreetly inquired if he'd brought a date. Merlin, her blush was never going to fade.
