Goblin' It Up Errand

Nerdy Outfit | Nerdy Hat

Having agreed to hang out this Hallows eve with the pair of Huffles along with one of his great friends Eyre, they made their way over towards the Astronomy tower where the others were excited to go and check out. This was just fine for Zyk, he wasn't much interested in the subject at all, but, enjoyed having a group to spend the holiday with. As he walked and chatted with his fellow second-years as they approached the area, the smoke seemed to start to form around his legs and he looked down and smirked slightly, "Wicked'," he commented. Those golden hues shifted up to see the arrangement on display before them and he nodded his approval of the rotating planets that were there.

"Not bad," he mentioned, for once not totally unimpressed with the subject.

Shifting his eyes over towards Lydia for a moment, "You know," he smirked, "I didn't think someone could be pretty with all that makeup on," he shifted his gaze back towards the rotating planets and settling his orbs on the one that was a replica of the Earth, "Was' wrong tho'," he offered as he walked away and over towards where the candy Earth was stationed upon the orrery. A hand reached out and plucked up the Earth Lolipop and slipped it into his satchel. The thing would probably get covered in wood shavings from where his carving blocks were normally stored, but, he figured he could clean it off later if he actually decided to eat a sweet for once.

After he was finished gathering his treat from the area, the muggle-nerd dressed Zykeal decided to shift to stand next to the wall as he waited for the group to select their treat. Honestly, he wasn't in this for the candy, he actually wasn't a fan of sweets in general, but, it was fun to dress up and have fun with students that he enjoyed being around. The young Gryffindor watched Aaron for a bit, the boy seemed extremely at home in his costume and the current display that the Astronomy area held and he couldn't help but offer a slight smile to him, "Bro, you look seriously like you could float right now," and his hand shifted to twitch his fingers upon the ivory-white wand that was stationed at his side, "Want me to make you float like you were in space?" he joked.

When they were all set, maybe Eyre was there too, hopefully, he'd walk over and nudge his friend and continue with the others towards their next destination, "Hope you guys know where we're going, I haven't a clue." he said, a smile upon his face as walked out of the area with the group and continued on.

Once they had all agreed to spend the rest of the night together, Lydia and the group had decided to head over to the Astronomy tower; her and Aaron had already decided to head over there when they had walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, and she was extremely happy that Zyk and Eyre were alright with the decision.

As she was walking up the stair, Lydia definitely felt immersed in the Halloween spirit; the cobwebs and the candles definitely set the mood, and the smoke was the perfect touch to make everything more mysterious. "It looks so cool," she said, almost in a whisper once they reached the end of the stairs, her eyes looking everywhere. Her eyes were observing the planets on the brass orrery, when Zyk's voice reached her ears; she looked at him, surprise written all over her face, as a faint blush spread over her cheeks, before she moved her eyes to the ground. "T-thanks," a small whisper, loud enough to be heard, left her lips, as she tried not to think too much about the Gryffindor's compliment; people often made her those kinds of compliments, even though after the summer they had started feeling bittersweet, almost fake.

Shaking those thoughts off, Lydia looked once again towards the planets made out of candy; they looked so inviting, and she felt kind of tempted to get the Earth one and the Jupiter one, but then noticed the sign that said to only take one. Feeling a little undecided, she decided to go for a red one, assuming it was supposed to be Mars. Placing the lollipop in the pocked of her hoodie, she walked slightly to the side so that everyone could get their candy; once they were all done, she followed the group and nodded at Zyk's words. "Let's go to the Divination class!"

Allie looked around as she followed her friend up the stone steps into the Astronomy Tower. This area of the castle had always seemed so magical to her, and tonight it was even more so. The stairwell had been brightened with floating candles much like the ones in the Great Hall but a little smaller. There were cobwebs as well, and a few other decorations that had been put up for Halloween.

A few steps ahead of her, Paisley had stopped walking to look up at the stars. When Allie glanced over at her, the Gryffindor gave her a smile. The Ravenclaw smiled back, feeling the meaning in her friend's expression. She was truly glad she had met the other girl this year, Paisley was a wonderful friend.

The pair reached the top of the tower. The door to the Astronomy classroom itself was shut and locked, but sitting in front of it was a small table upon which the candy had been placed. Both girls took one, and Allie smiled when she noticed that the candies were designed to look like miniature planets and moons. Following Paisley's lead, the first year picked one up and examined it more closely. She had picked the lollipop that looked like the planet Venus. She turned to her friend to see which one she had picked up. "That one's Saturn," Allie said certainly, pointing to the one her Paisley held. "It's the one with the rings." The Ravenclaw opened her hand to reveal her own. "I chose Venus," she told her with a smile.

"I can't believe how far we've come in a month. To think I didn't even know you before I came here is crazy... Thanks." The Gryffindor said suddenly. Allie blushed, touched by her friend's words. She felt the same way.

"You're one of the best parts about being here at Hogwarts," she said honestly. "I'm so glad we met." There was a small pause. After a few moments of silence, Allie stuck her lollipop into her mouth and grinned around her candy. "Let's go to the next place!" she said eagerly, leading Paisley down the stone steps they had only just come up.

LOCATION COMPLETE!

After a rather long night of running around the castle of Hogwarts to the various classrooms collecting copious amounts of candy, Theodora had finally made it to her final stop- the astronomy tower. She wasn't taking any classes in the astronomy tower this term, so it was a space she was admittedly quite unfamiliar with. However, said unfamiliarity left her in total awe of the place. The view from the tiny windows was absolutely gorgeous, and even the outside decor was beautiful. She had to keep these thoughts present in her mind so she'd remember to sign up for classes in the tower next term.

Once she finally made it up the winding stairs to the top of the tower, Theo was met with the interesting sight of the intricate and beautiful candy display. It took her a moment to even realize that's what it was. It looked so detailed and delicate that she assumed it was just an elaborate and fancy decoration rather than a display stand. Once she finally did realize what it was, Theo actually let out an audible gasp. How were candies like that even made? She knew she was only meant to take one, so it was difficult to pick which one of the beautiful candies she'd be taking. Eventually, she decided on one of the more pastel colored ones, taking it to put in her bag. She'd feel rather guilty later about eating such a pretty piece of art... Well, maybe she didn't have to feel guilty.

Looking around, Theo noticed that there really wasn't anyone around her. She was trailing a little behind, and most the students were already at the great hall for a film showing. Who would notice if she just... Took another? Just to keep and admire. Surely it wouldn't be missed, right?

The young witch turned back around, walking back up to the display before delicately reaching to take a second candy. The moment she pulled the lollipop out of the display, she was punished for it. All the frizzy stray strands of her curly hair were sent directly into the air as if static electricity was effecting it. Not the worst thing in the world... But it wasn't Theodora's favorite look. She let out a small groan, shoving the second lollipop into her bag. Whatever... At least she'd get a second candy.

After making her peace with her new look, Theodora began the journey back down to the main corridor from the astronomy tower. She had a movie to go watch!
