Dora had decided that, upon making her way over to the mingling area, Hogwarts didn't know how to provide snacks for both children and adults. Sweets and sugary pastries? No thank you. It was a good thing that these kids enjoyed coffee or else there would have been nothing for her to hold in her hands while she wondered around the mingling area.

It wasn't much of a place to mingle, but it was a spot away from her booth, so Dora didn't complain. When she did manage to find a table that wasn't occupied, she claimed it for her own and looked up at the ceiling of the great hall that not surprisingly, didn't seem as magnificent as it had when she was eleven.
