Aidan raised his eyebrows in silent amusement, then couldn't resist teasing his new friend. "You just torture wizards, huh?"
That being said, Aidan nodded in understanding of Seamus' family situation. Merlin, it sure felt like they were twins who had parted at birth! "This is crazy." Aidan said, shaking his head. "My mum's a witch, too but fortunately she never attends balls, so I don't have to suffer from being forced into dress robes. I think I'm still traumatized from the Yule ball embarrassment." Aidan shuddered exaggeratedly at the memory.
"But it's nice of you to accompany her. Just make sure you don't start dancing. Seriously." Aidan said empathetically, speaking from his own, painful experience. "You dance with one witch and suddenly all those 'nice old ladies' want a dance with the 'wee lad'. It's a nightmare, really."
