He shoved her. For a moment he was perplexed by his own action. He was angry, sure, but he had not meant to throw it down quite yet. The accuracy was not so good either, as Olivia didn’t even fall. Somehow that just ended up making him angrier.

He was not a coward, he was not scared. He would show her what exactly he was capable of. Renaming him Maxine was what did it. If she wanted to play it like that, he would happily oblige. He flew at her with his fists clenched. Sadly that was when Flame stepped between them and he was forced to stop dead in his tracks to avoid accidentally hitting her too.

As Flame spoke, a very good compromise in their situation, his glare did not leave Olivia.He was actually calming down a bit too, surprisingly. One could always count on Flame to reign in a situation. Sadly at the line of her going between the two parties, Olivia gave what he could only see as an infuriating smirk. As if Flame would ever go to a Hufflepuff party when there was a lions rave happening!

Clenching his fists once again he crouched slightly before rushing toward Olivia. «Nobody will show up to your stupid party, cause none like you!» He paused for a moment right in front of her before he drew back his arm and threw a punch. Wether i5 just went too wide, or Olivia dodged he couldn’t tell in the moment. It missed anyway. He swore under his breath but did not hesitate before swinging at her again.

This time it made impact, and he stepped back with a snarl trying to hide his own satisfaction. «You satisfied yet, or do you want another go?» As he spoke he took a bit of a step back to give space between them. He would need it if he were to go again. And he very much irked to do so. He would wipe the stupid smirk off her face in no time.

He was quite smug that he had managed to hit her. Flames attempt to get them to calm down was promptly ignored. The time to be sensible was over the second Olivia was born. The first punch only showed how easily she could evade. But he threw his wight into the second one, and just hoped it would hurt. She seemed to throw it off easily enough though, after getting over the surprise. «There are no manners when dealing with a sore loser!» He spat in return before she charged at him.

The kick was annoying. He was so close to jumping beyond her reach too. The impact made him stumble backwards slightly and clutching his leg. It didn’t hurt that bad, but damn did it sting. He had a smartass reply ready for her comment, but had his hands full evading her grapple attempt. «Oh please, you fight worse than my sister did when we were five!» He spat with a smirk. Not really true, but he would take the chance to put her down anyway.

He was all ready to charge again when Flame made him stop dead in his tracks with a fisted hand halfway raised. The words were not spoken loudly, it was a wonder it reached his ears at all. No, it was her tone that made him freeze. She sounded like… He cast a glance at her and had the assumption confirmed. She was crying. At once he dropped his hand back down, making the conscious effort to stretch out his fingers. With a bit of a cautious look at Olivia he stepped back and toward the fellow Gryffindor.

His face went through a lot of changes all at once. First surprise, then humor thinking it was a joke, before finally landing on a mixture of apologetic and shameful. «We were just… kidding?» He said meekly, not really believing in the idea of it himself. He had wanted to hurt the infuriating girl, but it was all in good fun, right? »I swear we’ll stop!» He hurried to add with a bit of a shrug at Cuthburt. He would gladly go at it again, but not when their friend was upset like this.

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. He could do this. He could be civil. Even to stupid Cuthburt. He let the girls chat and only attributed a few nods here and there. After Olivias shove he placed an arm around her shoulder and patted it just a little bit too hard.«Oh, we are great friends!» He gave Olivia a bit of a grimace before turning to Flame once again. «Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition» He declared.

«Yeah, we do this all the time!» His lie was far from a good one. Despite the small stutter emerging he persevered. «We compete, she punches me and I grapple her! Then we laugh about it afterwards»

One would think Max was in a play or something by how theatrical his next actions were. He truly believed it would remove all suspicions of his statement. Glancing around he could see the Great Hall had all but emptied itself of students. A quick look at the clock confirmed his suspicions: They were late. «Guys… look at the time!» Damn, and he had barely managed to eat anything. Of course now his stomach saw it fit to rumble loudly.

«We are gonna be late, and I need anything but another detention» Rolling his eyes dramatically as he picked up another apple. Throwing it up in the air before catching it again before looking at the girls. «I have potions next, so I’ll keep an eye out for your little prank, Cuthburt!» He said with a snicker as he headed out.

OOC: Max leaving thread. You feel free to continue though!
