Now, do remember there's nothing to worry about. Just hold your head high and when you've nothing to say, simply smile. Believe me, sometimes the best comment is no comment.
Regarding today's festivities, as I said last night, family and particular friends are welcome anytime after luncheon. If you can convince Razzer to budge prior to the evening cocktail hour, I do hope you'll come along early. It's more intimate and you'll get a chance to feel more comfortable with the smaller group. That way the throng in the evening will seem less overwhelming and you'll be able to seek out more allies along the way. Diana, Ursula and Pandora are particularly helpful in that regard; they've years of experience smoothing the fabric of social interaction.
Amanda and Emile are coming early as well. I think Emile mentioned racing the Abraxans against our own, so you and Razzer could even come along in the carriage with them, if you preferred!
And of course, should you two decide not to return to Hogwarts the same night, we've a number of guest rooms set aside each year for just such an event. And every year there are a few who take advantage of the offer.
