Of course, she pitied Gavin more. He had two of them under his care, and Avery looked like she wouldn't be sleeping for weeks at this rate.

The float parade thing, was nothing more than a finale to the horrible night, and it wasn't one she was particularly interested in admiring or celebrating. Gavin was right though... there was a Goblin on the float, and she didn't recall it being part of the story either. "Mmmm...." she mused. That Goblin, did not sit well with her. At least Zeke was still in view. "I can't imagine that being by design, but if it is, the person responsible is an idiot." Those things happened, and she wouldn't excuse herself for being judgmental. If you were going to do something, then you'd best do it right... no modern interpretations of this or that.

Emily spared Avery a look, the girl was... not coping with this. "You're safe," she reminded the girl. The only thing she might not be safe from was tooth decay.

Lame. It was lame that Gavin and Emily found them before they could go adventuring. They could have had KA all to themselves because he was sure that everyone would be HERE with the candy and pretty lights. It sounded legit.

Either way, he had gotten around to reading the Beedle Bard book thing that Emily had raved about, so now his childhood had not been lost on him -- or something to that effect, so at least he could follow along with the parade and understand the references. Having pushed his way to the front with Ashley, he gawked not at the lights and the floats but the Goblin and Ghost. Yeaaaaaahhhh Ashley, yeaaaaaahhhhh!!! "They're dead, and like, not here anymore... they don't NEEED a potion or anything to do that stuff, it's what they do, cause they're not physically here." Or something like that. Yes? No? He didn't know, but it made sense to him. Ghosts were glorified air for the most part, but they were cool in that they could talk and stuff.

He was fixating on the Goblin, it looked cool. Was it one of the ones from Gringotts? Was it here to throw them money? WAS IT?! They were ugly cool, and the long nose looked ace for flicking... could he have one? A Goblin? Was that a done thing in the wizarding world? Like a pet? Or a caretaker pet? COULD IT BE HIS BUTLER FOR WHEN EMILY WAS TOO BUSY WITH WORK?!
"I want one of them," he told Ashley, pointing directly to the Goblin.

The Death Eater leaned forward a bit, his eyes glued to the moving floats, and the Goblin.

Gavin wasn't about to correct Emily when she was perfectly right. He must have been forced to read that story a million times by now and not once was there a goblin. Whoever designed that float had done a shoddy job of it, or was possibly running low on sleep. "I guess it's of no real consequence." He said, noting the reactions of the children nearby. In this moment where candy was sprouting from float after float, did they even remember the story?? "I get the feeling they don't mind having their children muddled with so long as there's sugar involved?"

And there it was, the tight grip his niece now had him. She'd been jittery all evening but he thought it would have been all the candy getting to her. Evidently it was not. He couldn't see the look on her face but Emily having to remind her she was safe gave him a fair idea of what he was dealing with. "It's just pretend." He offered. "Like Ashley pretending to be a sickly, dead inferi. Nothing more." Some back up would be nice.

Also...Gavin leaned a bit closer to Emily. "Doesn't he look like the goblin we ran into down in Knockturn Alley?" He asked, in a low voice meant only for her ears, though with people this close, there was no telling what people would hear.

What was Zeke TALKING about? Ashley pried her eyes away from the goblin and the floats to look at her obviously confused brother who did not understand what Halloween WAS. "They aren't real. That's the point. It's pretend and dress up. What would they be doing with a real goblin and a real ghost?" Sometimes she wished he'd think more. Of all the fake stuff they'd seen he chooses to believe this. Sigh. He had a lot to learn. "They could have gotten a goblin from Gringotts but the ghost is probably a spell--an illusion spell like the ones Maman tells me about."

That had to be how they did it and the girl wanted to get a closer look, she just didn't know how well her uncle would take it if she and Zeke suddenly sprinted out into the middle of the street. 'Sides, she didn't wanna get smushed if the floats didn't stop. It was dark, they might not SEE her.

She'd only been distracted for a moment more before he said he wanted a goblin. "Pourquoi??--I mean, why? You could have a house elf instead. They're nicer and make better food if it's a pet your looking for." Unless it wasn't but then why else would he want one if not to make it his play thing? That would be her reason for wanting it.

Why was everyone so excited about the goblin and the ghost? Looking around she could hear what they were saying and honestly she thought they'd all lost their minds. Didn't goblins eat children? Ashley said they did and her sister was always right about everything. That made her even less likely to be willing to get off her Uncle's shoulders. It just wouldn't happen.

She heard Emily say she was safe and of course she believed her but that didn't make things any less scary than they were looking right now.

The 7 year old took a moment to consider her Uncle's words. Nothing was real? Everything was for pretend? Like the lady back at the Daily Prophet that got her extra treats? No. Non. She pointed. "The ghost is REAL. I saw him go through a wall."
