"Zeke wouldn't be able to tell the difference even if they spelled it out for him, he was never in it for the narrative journey." No, because that would have been so Ravenclaw of him if he had, and she'd have been proud... alas, there was no hope.

Of course Zeke wasn't her problem right now. No. He was entertained and as far as she could tell, keeping out of trouble. Avery on the other hand, was not coping, and this left hers and Gavin's attention divided. She would have offered more assistance in... reassuring her, but her parenting/guardianship skills were nowhere near developed enough for that, and she was certain that telling the girl to suck it up wasn't going to help. The only form of kindness she could afford Avery was a gentle pat on the leg. Yep. She was fine, it was Gavin's problem now.

Instinctively she leaned her head in towards Gavin's as he leaned in to her, and the comment about the Goblin registered loud and clear. Goblins... she'd seen too many of them, especially recently, to be able to tell the difference, but now that he mentioned it. "You're right." Emily extracted a hand from her pocket, ready to flick her wrist from its holster at any moment should she need to. Call her paranoid, but nothing good ever came from the KAers sight seeing in DA.

He heard something along the lines of pretend and not being real, but he was a little distracted by the candy that was being thrown his way. Not very skillfully, Zeke plucked a few from the air, catching them and fumbling them and giving up on them all at the same time. Still he had a fair idea of what she was jabbering on about. Smarty pants. "Nope, pretty sure they're both real," he replied stubbornly. "You're right about the Goblin, I think I saw that one last week when Emily ran errands... but the ghost is definitely a ghost, you can't fake that stuff," he said, convinced of the fact. "Cause WHY fake it? WE have to fake it, cause last I checked I wasn't a Death Eater and you not an Infeary ... BUUUTTT... why would they fake a ghost when they could just borrow one?" Borrow one, that's what this was, right? Or were they renting it? Was it volunteering? Was it just invited?

The idea of them being fake still plagued him, so with knit brows he tried thinking about it some more. Emily had always told him that there were no such things as stupid questions, except for when there were ... whatever that meant. But what she had also told him, and he listened, was that the most important question anyone could ever ask, was why. So he had. WHY would they fake it? WHY was it even here? WHY WHY WHY?!....

Zeke unwrapped a candy and popped it in his mouth under his mask, and then turned back to Ashley, the floats were a bit boring all things considered. Ashley asked smart questions too apparently, but of course she did, she was clever. "I dunno," he shrugged in reply. "I think they're neat... and if I had a pet Goblin it could help me break into Gringotts." Not that he was thinking of doing such things, but y'know, IF he ever needed the money. "And it could steal good food I'm sure." SEEEE! Logic! He had it!

You didn't even need to be someone who enjoyed thorough work to agree that some things were best followed to a 'T'. The event might have been for the children who paid little attention to anything but there were adults here too, adults that could criticize as they saw fit. "Somehow I didn't figure he'd be in it for the story either." Not meant in an offensive way, hardly, just a truthful one. The boy didn't seem the type to sit still and pay attention to detail. "I don't suspect anyone will call them out on it either." So they were free to keep mucking things up.

Gavin sighed, trying to appear less tired than he actually felt. Of course she'd seen the ghost go through a wall, of course she wouldn't believe him when he said it was all fake. Wouldn't want to make this easy for him or anything. The pat to her leg from Emily was appreciated and possibly all she'd be getting because there was little else he could do until she calmed down.

And it would appear he wasn't just imagining things. Emily agreed the goblin was the same as that day down in Knockturn Alley and admittedly it was unsettling. Something told him things were about to get bad and he scanned the crowd to be sure his niece was still very much within close distance.

He was still not listening to her which meant he was wrong and would keep on being wrong until he accepted what she was saying. See, he already admitted the goblin was borrowed from Gringotts, it was only a matter of time before he lost faith in the ghost too. "Alright, fine, you say they borrowed the ghost. Where would they borrow him from? Ghosts can't leave the place they die at and I've never seen a ghost in Diagon Alley before so it has to be a spell." Had to had to had to. He should just listen to her more often, Circe.

The 9 year old snorted at his logic. "Goblins love money. If he stole some he wouldn't let you have it." And him wanting food from it was just as ridiculous because everyone knew house elves made the best food. You just had to hire one and they'd be loyal to you, like the ones at her grandparents house. Then again he did say it would steal it. "Fine. Get a goblin. We can steal that on--"

Merlin what was THAT?? Ashley's eyes shot up when the loud noise suddenly rang off. Her eyes widened as she listened to the man talk about sneaking into their bedrooms and wanting their candy. THEIR CANDY. And another voice on about painful removing of candy??? WHAAAAAT??? She looked to Zeke, wondering if she was the only one hearing this, even while clinging to her bag of candy. Then it happened--SPELLS WERE FLYING!!!! Was this a part of the show and wasn't that the goblin headed for them?? "You still want that goblin?"

The leg patting would have been comforting if there wasn't a loud sound in the next minute, a loud sound and people wanting her candy!! She didn't even have that much!! The hysterical laughter of the man shook the 7 year old, gripping her so tightly that for a second she made no movements, no responses. Just her little chest tightening again as she watched the scene play before her.

Coming to their bedrooms? Stealing their candy? Nothing made sense. It wasn't until the goblin jumped from the float and started pushing through the crowds while the man shot THINGS AT THEM WITH BRIGHT LIGHT and the woman was darting through that her muscles could half coordinate with her, allowing her to scrambling from her Uncle's shoulers (TOO HIGH AND SHE DIDN'T WANNA BE A TARGET) and clung to his neck, holding herself there, latched on tighter than a koala, her candy bag long since dropped. "Surrendor! Take the candy! Have it!" That's what he said to do, right?

Frightened brown eyes darted around the area but it was possible she was too scared to even cry so she just clung there hyperventilating and wishing they were anywhere else.
