Odette knew that the idea of going to St. Mungo's for such things would likely frighten anyone, so at the sight of her sister's widened eyes Odette wasn't necessarily surprised but it still made her heart ache. The brunette watched her sister with a patient look, not wanting to pressure her into making a decision or only agreeing because Odette suggested her to do it. The Ravenclaw alum was actually very happy with the Slytherin's reply. Odette's hand then found Max's as she looked her in the eye. "Of course," she said. "Don't feel as if you have to decide right now. You have all summer." And Odette would still be there years from now if that was how long it took Max to make a decision. Odette wasn't about to force her sister into doing anything she didn't want to do. "In the meantime, I can look more into it myself. Okay? Maybe we won't need any tests," she added hopefully. Surely someone she worked with had to know a little something about this type of thing? She could ask around!
Odette stood straight up, feeling as though they needed a shift in the covnersation now. "Well, how about that tea?" She said, putting on a small smile. "And you can tell me about your year so far?"

If it was possible to feel any relief in this situation, Odette was trying to make that a reality for her, Max thought. She assured her that she had all of the summer to come to a decision, and—with exams still standing in the way between her and any glimpse of summertime—the end of the summer seemed incredibly distant.
Maybe she wouldn’t need to undergo any tests at all; there was that possibility, as Odette had considered and which Max hoped would be the case. Solving everything that was wrong with her—as improbable as she knew, deep down, that it actually was—without ever having to set foot inside St. Mungo’s sounded like a good plan to her. At least, there was the bright side that St. Mungo’s was a magical hospital and not a Muggle one. Max knew that Muggle doctors could be really weird when it came to figuring out what was wrong with a person. There were all sorts of television programs about patients with unexplainable symptoms, and Max didn’t want to become one of them.
“Well, how about that tea? And you can tell me about your year so far?”
That Odette was able to be so supportive of her when she herself had only just announced that she had miscarried a child was more than Max could ask of her, she realized as Odette asked about getting some tea. Odette probably needed the tea as much as she did in that moment.
Max had barely stepped outside of the room before one of the nurses came in with two tea cups and some teabags. She didn’t particularly care that they had neither milk nor sugar, from the looks of it; she knew that the nurses had better things to do than to worry about whether or not they’d brought a proper tea tray.
“Thanks,” Max said, though the nurse was soon out of the room again, after setting the cups and teabags down onto the desk.
Once the nurse had gone, she sat down across from where Odette had been sitting when she had come into the office. “My year’s been…” Max thought about it. “It’s better than it was,” she told Odette. It couldn’t get much worse than it had been in the autumn. “But…” Adrian had left. She still wasn’t as close to Georgie anymore. Their friendship wasn’t irreparable; it had survived her nearly dying and then survival, but… “Now I’ve got this—whatever it is, and I’ve still got my O.W.L.s in a few months…” she considered. Max knew that she had a lot on her plate, but she knew that there wasn’t much that she could do about it.
She sighed and looked at Odette, taking up a cup and plopping a teabag into it. “You?” she asked as she fiddled with the string attached to the teabag, hoping that she had at least something positive to share.
