SNITCH! PARTY IN THE PARK! OPEN TO ALL

She wouldn't say she flounced down the steps of the stage, but...well, okay, flouncing was a good word for it. Mattie skipped the last two steps and landed easily on the grass, feeling as if she couldn't stop moving because then the amazing feeling coursing through her would disappear and she'd never feel it again and it was just too exciting and good and awesome and she was here!

Nicola was here! In the crowd that was watching Mattie and her band perform. Her sister had come! Mattie nearly lost her place in the song when she'd spotted Nicola, but thankfully she was able to cover her slight slip up and finished the set. Food was now coming out so they'd taken an intermission and Mattie---Mattie wanted to go find her sister, she did, she wanted to go and hug her and nearly pass out from her exhilaration, but spotting Nicola from afar was a lot different than actually speaking to her and---what if she was only here because of her quidditch playing boyfriend? The one who wasn't playing anymore?

That didn't make much sense. Regardless, her sister was here, she'd seen her perform, and Mattie couldn't be any happier.

"Oomph--MAX!" Mattie let out in one big gulp of air. She had been too busy watching Nicola's head bob in and out of sight on the other side of the gathering (which was so fun and festive and just--springy) that she had not noticed her feet had kept moving and straight into Max Fancourt. Her heels sunk into the ground, still damp from the rain from the night before, and Mattie tugged her foot out. She fanned herself, feeling hot for a million reasons. "Hi, hi!"

Josef was busy chasing Eloise Midgen around the grassy area, and Maggie held back her laughter as the girl's father crawled under a picnic table after the two almost four-year-olds. She ducked her head to catch her own daughter staring up at her with wide eyes, nearly begging to go run around as well, but Maggie held Adeline tightly to her lap. The baby gave her every excuse not to walk around and mingle at the low-key event, and Maggie was going to use her to her own advantage for as long as she could.

Since Geoff's banishment from the league and the controversy his captainship of the Germany team created, there had been quite the sour taste in Maggie's mouth about the sport she used to love so much. There was a time where no sort of media coverage could bruise her ego, but the past few years had certainly done a number on her. Much of it was her own fault, decisions that she'd made were not always the best, but a person grew weary when time after time after time she had to suck up her feelings and simply deal with the ramifications.

Maggie's guilt over knowing about Geoff's gambling problems and not doing much but scolding him about them ate at her daily. She had no idea where her brother was, she hadn't spoken to him since a run in in New York, and all she feared was that those men who'd come after him had finally gotten their man. And--and the league still had questions, and her parents still had questions, and---the preseason was starting and she didn't feel ready, she didn't feel like doing much of anything, and---and---

She winced, Adeline whacking her straight in the nose as if she knew her mother was off on one of her mental ramblings.

"Thank you, sweetie," Maggie said, rubbing her nose. She watched as her husband approached, an upside-down Josef in tow.
