The door to the Really Very Tiny Auditorium swung open again. A young Asian woman wearing a rumpled Slytherin uniform and a snaggle-toothed grin poked her head around the edge of the door.

"Sweet, we got here before all the nibbles got snatched up!" she said. "They've got mini-hot dogs and everything!"

"I am not very comfortable with this, Gremlin," came a muffled reply from the corridor behind her. "Aiden is far too young for such an event. He may become distressed."

Gremlin rolled her eyes as she pushed the door open all the way. "Honestly, you're a bigger baby than he is sometimes. He'll be fine. This is a good thing, Xerry! You're spending more time with Aiden and you'll be meeting with other parents! It's win-win, sweetheartless!"

After a few moments of hesitation, Xericka stepped into the auditorium. She had not changed out of her typical Organization coat, although she had wrapped a yellow and black Hufflepuff scarf around her neck as a nod to one-half of the themes. Aiden, dressed in a similarly-colored onesie, gurgled in her arms.

"Please try to enjoy yourself," Gremlin said. She put her hand on Xericka's shoulder and gave it a quick squeeze.

Xericka sighed. "I shall endeavor to do my best."

"Good!" Gremlin turned back to the rest of the room and waved in greetings. "Hey, everyone!"
