Maria was bored. She had a long weekend, 3 days before her next day of work. Deciding that she didn't want to binge drink like usual, she was actually being a "productive" member of society. Sort of. She as out and about, shopping. That was productive, right? Spending money. Keeping the economy healthy.
She stopped at one point, purchasing a bag of roasted almonds, and was casually snacking on them as she window shopped down Diagon Alley. Nothing was really holding her interest though. Maybe she should go to a boutique or something? Find some new outfits. That's all Maria really spent her money on. Clothes. Well, clothes and booze. Despite being extremely vain, she wasn't really "materialistic" in the sense that she spent money like it was candy. It was probably her upbringing. When you didn't have much growing up, you were usually smarter with your money.
Maria had somehow found her way to the Quidditch goods store. She hadn't got inside, just glanced at the goods in the window and wondered what the appeal of throwing a bunch of balls around. After a moment, she shrugged, and turned away, though almost right right into someone. "Excuse you," she muttered, annoyed that the guy hadn't been watching where he was going (even though she hadn't been watching either.).

 THIS SUMMER WAS OFFICIALLY ONE of the worst moments in Edrik Krum's life. Qudditich as a whole was shit for him, the league scoring, playing...Absolutely everything. Oh, and on top of that, his on and off girlfriend again had decided to never return his owls, nor even see him if he had come over to Irina's flat to visit her or even his sister. Days were spent drinking alone, or listening to his father mouthing off again about something irrelevant, Edrik had no clue, he barely paid attention anymore. But with a new kit incoming and new practice games finally beginning to start, the Krum didn't want to waste another drop of his liquor, time or even any thoughts he might of had on Tia any longer. She was out of his life...For now anyway.
With the months finally going warmer, hands stuffed in his pockets and hair slicked back into a small bun (he had cut it again and again over the summer, Merlin his hair grew too fast), Edrik walked through Diagon Alley, plans to head into the Quidditch goods store in mind. He wasn't paying complete attention, his mind spacing out once more as the thought of Tia crossed his mind again and what she might have been up to. His brain worked slower than his feet did and soon enough the Krum collided with someone who was just a little shorter than he was. Putting an arm around to prevent the girl from falling back, Edrik's eyes wandered, snapping out of his odd little thought cloud. "I'm sorry...Are you okay?"

Oh, a chivalrous one. Maria wouldn't have fallen, but the young man she'd run into instinctively reached out, and arm around her waist to prevent her from falling. She blinked, surprised, but also... a little smitten. What a fairytale meeting! Plus, now that she was in a position she had to admit, he was a damn fine looking individual. Though, she immediately recognized him. Maria had been year mates, and friends, with Daniel Hoh at Durmstrang, after all. She'd heard plenty of stories about the Krums. Even lived a few months with Daniel after graduation before getting her own place. Hell, she'd even met Irina a handful of times.
"Why, I'm alright now, Mr. Krum. Thank you." Oh, there was her artificial, sickeningly sweet voice. It wasn't the one she used when actually trying to seduce people. She used it on Daniel a lot. It was more of a teasing tone, teasing, fun loving, a bit mischievous. "I should have watched where I was going, I'm so sorry." She had, quite intentionally, not moved away yet.

A BROW ROSE INSTINCTIVELY ONCE the female had mentioned his name, and taking another look at her face had brought back all kinds of memories. Maria Camila Da Silva Povoa. Mouthful. She had been...slightly close with Daniel when they were all younger and Edrik was sure he had heard the mention of Maria's name at least once or twice. So why did it take him so long to figure out who she was?
"Oh..Maria..It's..Okay." Edrik smiled small, moving his arm that he rose originally to prevent her from falling - back to his side. "Really it's...My fault. I should've watched where I was going." The Krum laughed quietly then, raising a hand to scratch at the nape of his neck nervously. "What brings you to Diagon?...Or England as a whole?.." The last he had heard, Maria was living in Sweden, finishing up her schooling in Durmstang...Although..That was a few years prior.

Edrik seemed a bit confused, momentarily, but then he said her name and she grinned. Though he removed his arm, pity. Maria liked physical contact. It was just her personality. She brushed her hair off her shoulders as she spoke. "I haven't seen you around in a long time. Looks like the professional league is treating you well though." Of course that was the comment she made. She was a very physical person, so she paid more attention to physical appearances then anything else. Plus, again, he was pretty damn good looking. She couldn't help but make at least a little comment about it!
As he asked about her being in Diagon Alley, and England she raised an eyebrow. Wait, did he not know? "I live here, of course," she started to explain, pausing momentarily. "I decided to stay after the tournament. I lived with Daniel for the first few months before getting my own place. Did Irina and Dan not tell you?" That had been an oddly hilarious living situation. Daniel had a studio apartment. Anyone that didn't understand her and Dan's relationship would have immediately jumped at there being something between them. But no. They were purely platonic friends. THough, it wasn't really that strange that he hadn't known. That would be a strange thing for Daniel or Irina to bring up with Edrik.

PAST HIS CONFUSION, EDRIK'S MIND was truly filled with too many things. It had been months since his conversation argument with his father, considering if he should change his career position - well team in this case - and he was still conflicted till this day. Tia had also moved abroad and decided to tell no one but Irina seemingly and Daniel...Well. It was safe to say Edrik had no clue where his friends or family where anymore except at work or Hogwarts. It shouldn't of affected him as it slightly did but with a life filled with confusion, with no one to essentially turn to, he kept it suppressed within him. Maybe it was a sign, to find new friends and even a new...Girlfriend...Even though he wasn't dating Tia in the first place.
Watching as Maria brushed her hair, Edrik's raised brow relaxed and instead took in the girl's features as she spoke. Maria was always attractive and she had been even since they were younger. Well, during the times he saw her anyway. At her comment, Edrik couldn't help but laugh in response, his head nodding slowly. "Yeah...I suppose it has." Oh it was. It was usually his ass or one of the Chaser's ass that was busy, filled with complaints from the coaches and the higher ups that they weren't doing enough, resulting with poor points in the league. It was also one of the many reasons he felt like quitting so often.
"You live here?" He repeated, the brow that was raised earlier, raising once more. Before he could further his question and ask 'since when', she answered his questions for him. Showing that he was listening, Edrik hummed and nodded before furrowing his brows. "No...Not at all." He admitted, looking away to rethink if it had ever been brought up. "Then again...I was gone for some time after graduating...I was offered the opportunity to play in Bulgaria.." He missed those times and always thought...Why had he even bothered to return? "But that's cool that you're living here now...Where's your place at?" He questioned, hoping it didn't come across as creepy.

Maria couldn't help but give him just the slightly look up and down. She wasn't one to follow Quidditch news much, but when she did it was purely for the attractive players, like Edrik. Again, he'd filled out pretty nicely since the last time she'd seen him. When was the last time she'd seen him? Definitely back when she was in school. During the tournament maybe? When Durmstrang had been at Hogwarts. "That's good to hear," she answered in response. Though the suppose was an understatement. Damn, if she'd have known he'd fill out like this she would have been flirting with him much sooner. Though Dan might have gotten mad at her. Dan wasn't around now though... so what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him.
His surprised answer made her grin. While he didn't know about her home life (few did), her staying hadn't been a hard decision for her. She'd wanted to get as far away from her Grandparents as possible, and London had been a vey logical choice. But she wouldn't tell him that. Though, before she could make some teasing comment about inviting him over, he'd mentioned being in Bulgaria. IT was her turn to raise an eyebrow. "Oh? That's exciting! What brought you back here then?"
Though, apparently, Erik, was determined to give her the opportunity to tease him, as he recreated the opportunity with his question. She smirked, an absolutely wicked smirk. "Why, you looking for some where private to go? She teased. "All you have to do is ask, my door's always open for old friends." Though she wouldn't really call them "old friends". More like they shared an old friend. They knew each other through Daniel. He was a close friend of both of theirs.

BARELY MISSING HOW MARIA LOOKED up and down at him, Edrik knew somewhere within him he was flattered. But alongside that small fragment of flattery, there was an inch of guilt, guilt the Krum couldn't reason with, especially since he was now thinking of Tia again. She was essentially brushing him off in the various times he had tried to contact, but now as he stood before another pretty being, that rush of stupid guilt just started to overwhelm him. Trying to rid his thoughts of her, Edrik watched as her lips rose to a grin and slowly his smile matched her own.
"Well...It was everything that was going on that brought me back...The dead minsters, Harry Potter...Yeah." Thinking of his choices had been difficult back then and a small frown worked its way temporarily up to the Krum's lips. Long enough before the male shook his head and forced out his smile again. "It was kind of funny though, since I kept it on the down-low. Left to become a great Keeper and ended up returning, finding out my sister's dating my best friend. So..You win some, you lose some I guess."
Shrugging with his words, Edrik couldn't help but laugh at her response then, shaking his head. "I don't know you enough for such a warm invitation." While he was slightly exaggerating as he caught onto her teasing he essentially...Wasn't lying also. They only shared a friend and nothing more to it.
