By the time Sturgis spotted the girl, he already had far too many drinks to be a reasonable person. He wouldn’t say he was drunk, but Lily was good at convincing him to drink more, particularly when he was upset. And after what had happened with Remus, he certainly was. But seeing her woke up something else in him. And suddenly, his little fight with his boyfriend was relayed to the back of his mind, the incident with Mae coming back to his mind. It wasn’t long until he made a beeline for the other, gritting his teeth as he did so.
“You.” The word rolled off his tongue with a groan. If it wasn’t clear by the look on his face that he was angry, his tone was making it obvious. “You-” He started, but hos eyes were drawn away for a moment as he spotted Mary in the distance. This was her night, he didn’t want to ruin it by causing a scene, so he tried to keep his voice lower when he spoke again. “How could you do that?” He snapped his attention back to her. He knew it wasn’t entirely the anger speaking, but also the alcohol, but if she’d been a guy, he might have punched her right there. So much for not causing a scene.

Clydeane was only about two drinks in, still pondering her encounter with Mae. Was the other girl really that upset about Deanie leaving early that morning? The Gryffindor got that it was probably rash, leaving like that, but something about waking up with her friend curled against her had made her stomach churn. Still, it had been light out, and she knew the spot was decently deserted. Mae had been fine. But, as she saw the middle Podmore stalking her way, she wasn’t sure she would be. It had been a while since she’d been hit in the face, but something told her that was a strong possibility that’s how this conversation could end. “Stu, it’s not that big of a deal.” She could smell the alcohol on his breath, though he didn’t seem all that drunk. “Look, I get you’re her brother, but this is between Mae and I. She’ll talk to me when she’s ready.” It was weird how Mae had iced her out. She’d only done this once before, when they broke up... but this was worse. She looked away from Stu, looking for Mae in the crowd. “You should go back to your boyfriend, yeah? We’ll talk about this when you’re sober, man.”
