Halloween Party?
Date: 31.10.2022.
Anna was a bundle of nerves as she tapped her leg against the floor. She couldn’t keep a grin of her face for anything. She was excited for a little get together she planed for this Hallow’s Eve. She did the posters herself, also hung them up and pestered her father with owls until he told her how to get into the kitchens.' ' - thinking
" " - speaking
5c336b - colour
It was still early but she snuck out of the Great Hall and headed to the kitchens. She already struck a bargain with the kitchen elves and they promised to put aside some food leftover from the feast so she could have her own little party. She descended into the kitchens and was pleasantly surprised that the elves not only left her quite the generous amount of food and drinks, they also baked Halloween themed cookies, and packed some trays and cutlery. And also a few colourful tablecloths, all neatly packed in two baskets so it would be easy to carry. Anna was beaming with happiness. She thanked the elves so many times, even bowing to them, which they protested to. Grabbing the two quite heavy baskets she went up and continued to the empty classroom she picked as her party place. Not very cozy, but clean and spooky enough for Halloween.
She took a few breaks before she finally reached the classroom, huffing she entered and looked around. She’d have to move around a few desks and chairs and set up the food table. She set down the baskets and rolled up her sleeves. She had about two hours before anyone arrived so she’d better get to work.

-----Despite it being, like, the best day ever (also known as Halloween/All Hollow's Eve) Hogwarts still required the students to attend their classes but they were shortened to accommodate small student-hosted parties, celebrations, or general spooky mischief. The day was still young, and an energized Caoimhe raced out of the Slytherin common room with the brightest smile on her face as she admired her school. The tall ornate rooms were decorated with orange, fall-inspired ribbons. Statues once a light-toned stone were now darker toned granites. Silver knights in armor were now glistening ebony. Nothing super flashy or spooky, but classy changes nonetheless to match the month's ambiance. As usual cobwebs still hung from some corners of the rooms, but at least they could be classified as decorum now.
As she ran down several corridors, her black robe gliding through the air behind her. Caoimhe had exited the Slytherin common room where she dropped off her school bag and grabbed a small clutch that had the main essentials - makeup, wand, and chap-stick. She could not find her friends anywhere - so she assumed perhaps they were still in class. Going up from the dungeons to the second floor, Caoimhe slowed down her steps abruptly skidding to a stop then sighed. Caoimhe walked briskly down the hall for a familiar face, but most doors were opened and showed no signs of fellow Slytherins about.
But there was an obvious odor that caught Caoimhe's attention - freshly cookies, but why on earth would she smell that right now in this area? Perhaps someone raided the kitchens as a prank? Curiously, Caoimhe pressed forward like the nosey child she was.
As she approached, Caoimhe spotted a single girl setting down too large bags of what appeared to be food and supplies. Obviously hand-made Halloween-themed posters hung on the walls and some large-sized furniture were pushed to the side, there was something planned here that caught Caoimhe's attention. Maybe she'd find her friends here later, or make new ones potentially.
"Well, this looks exciting," She said while knocking on the wall as she made entry, "Those posters look fantastic! Did you do them yourself?"

Today was my absolute favorite day of the entire year! This morning I awoke to a much better and outgoing mood, I didn't even care when I accidently poked myself in the eye with my eyeliner pen! The only thing that sucked was I had school, but I knew as soon as I got those done I would be free to roam the castle! That was the exciting part, as soon as classes ended I pulled on my favorite pajamas, a skeleton onesie. I quickly sharpied my nails black which was down very halfassed so it looked very sloppy. I didn't care though, I made my way through the hallways and about the place admiring all the creepy decorations that surrounded me and shrouded the castle. If you hadn't guessed already, today was Halloween! It was the one day of the year were I felt perfectly free to be myself and you could wear pajamas to pass as a costume. I decided to explore all the decorations more, so I wandered the castle. I don't remember but sometime during my travels I picked up a cup of coffee. I sipped on it as I walked into a class, two students stood. The whole room had been decorated, it was nothing short of amazing. Spooky treats of all kinds lined the tables giving off an scrumptious odor. Both the students were girls around my age, the first was smaller than me which made the day even better, I always felt like a won a grand prize when I met someone my age smaller than me. Because I was pretty small myself. The girl had caramel skin and dark curly hair, she was dressed in a white shirt and plaid jacket. The second girl was paler with long black hair that matched her eyes, she was carrying a large basket and it looked difficult. Without thinking I walked over.
"Here let me help yuh wit' that," I said in my strong new Jersey accent taking the basket from her, it was easier for me to carry it.
"Where ya want it, or what?" I said taking another gander at what used to be a classroom while brushing back some of my long black hair. "Did ya guys do dis, or what? It's like amazin'."

Halloween Party?
Anna stood there in the middle of the messy classroom contemplating whether to first set up the food or tables. It would make sense to first set the room, so she smiled determinedly and started. She pushed all the tables closer to the walls and added the chairs next to them, trying to make space in the middle, the two baskets were always in the way so she ended up moving them frequently as well. After a bit the room seemed less cluttered but there was a lot more to do. Anna was taking a breather when she heard a knock and a girls voice behind her. The girl, a Slytherin, judging by her robes complimented Anna on her posters.
“Oh, thank you!”, Anna was definitely out of breath, there was no way she’d finish in time. She swallowed and turned to the girl. “The party isn’t for another hour and a half. That’s why you’re here right?”. Anna was a bit confused, but she had more work to do so she grabbed the bloody basket again, ready to move it to the more clean part of the classroom. She was just about to move when a boy in a skeleton pjs? walked in and took the basket from Anna’s hands asking where to set it in a accent Anna didn’t recognize.
“Oh, uhh, you can set it down in that corner”, Anna pointed, he complimented on the room and decorations. ‘He must mean the cobwebs that were already there’, Anna though as she was glad she didn’t dust too much. “Thank you for the compliment, and the help. But it’s not finished yet, I have to fix up these desks and put out the food and drinks. And like I said the party is in an hour and half, so you can attend then”, Anna smiled. She thought about asking them for help, but that didn’t seem fair. This was her party and she should be responsible for setting it up.

-----Caoimhe couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the mention of a party, then drew a dumbfounded expression as the girl finished her sentence: "I'm sorry, I had no idea there was a party going on," Caoimhe stated honestly as she walked in further into the room to admire the décor a bit closer up, but moved aside and watched as a boy in the Slytherin house rushed in to help the girl with the heavy bags. Slight embarrassment was felt in her not even realizing the girl, whose name she couldn't remember, was struggling, but perhaps this was one of the guests of the party she had mentioned.
As the boy turned around the face her, Caoimhe's hand slightly covered her mouth trying to hold in a laugh, not in a demeaning way but was just loving the confidence he had waltzing around in a one-sie: "I love your outfit! I wish I had one too," she said with a smile lowering her hand and holding her other arm, then turned her friendly hazel gaze back to the girl: "I'd love to stay and help if you'll allow me,"
Caoimhe removed her black cloak and draped it over a nearby chair, revealing her thin green-black-white plaid jacket and muggle clothing underneath. Her eyeliner pencils and lipstick that once were in the inside pocket of her cloak were moved to her left-back pocket of her jeans, and she would have to occasionally shove them back in place as she moved around. Here in a bit, Caoimhe would dramatize her current look and draw on fake blood in the corner of her lips and then return them back to her cloak pocket so she would not break them if she sat down.
Caoimhe scanned the room as the girl explained her current list of duties before the party would start. With a smile, Caoimhe asked: "Should we line the desks up in a row and let you place the food?"

“Oh, uhh, you can set it down in that corner," The black-haired girl said pointing. I nodded as I placed walked across the room following directions. I walked turned around to look at them again when the curly-haired girl turned covering her mouth,
"I love your outfit! I wish I had one too," She said with a smile, I looked down at my skeleton pajamas before I looked back up.
"Thanks," I said with a small smile speaking in a strong new Jersey accent. "I would tell ya where tuh get one but like.... I fawhgot."
I added a small laugh at the end.
"I like yawhs too," I said sheepishly taking in her outfit and hair tied with a white ribbon. I didn't get compliments a lot, mostly insults, it felt... Nice...
“Thank you for the compliment, and the help. But it’s not finished yet, I have to fix up these desks and put out the food and drinks. And like I said the party is in an hour and half, so you can attend then," said the black haired girl politely. I sat inside a random empty basket that I found, the others were filled with food....
"Dere's gonna be a party?" I said confusion written clear across my face, did I lose my invitation or was just not invited? It made sense since I wasn't the most popular person in school...
"I'd love to stay and help if you'll allow me," said the curly-haired girl kindly.
"Yeah me too," I said raising my hand up in the air, habit I picked up from class. What was the harm in helping someone? Even if I wasn't going to the party. I struggled a little as I climbed out of the basket I had previously sat in. I scanned the room when I realized the curly-haired girl was doing the same, that made me a little awkward again.
"Should we line the desks up in a row let you place the food?" The curly haired girl spoke up, I nodded looking towards the black-haired girl.
"Wait so what are ya like names?" I asked looking at both the girls. "So I can properly address ya... My name's Bernard, Bernard Waye."
I said with a friendly smile, which just ended up looking weird as always. I stuck out my hand switching it between the two before putting out both my hands to shake.
"Forget about the dirty looks. The photographs your boyfriend took. You said you read me like a book. But the pages all are torn and frayed!"

Halloween Party?
As Anna was planning out the set up, the other two seemed confused about the party. ‘They didn’t know there was a party?’, Anna stopped in her tracks. “Yeah the party that I made those posters for”, she pointed to a few posters on the walls the girl already complimented. “It was supposed to be a Get together Halloween party”, Anna didn’t really know how to feel. Had she not made enough posters or had others planned better parties than hers? She stubbornly shook her head. This was her party after all and she was a Blackrose, and these were just little hurdles she had to pass.
Just then she was shook out of her thought as the Slytherin girl offered to help, the boy chiming in with his offer as well. It’s settled then, with their help she could definitely do this. “Thank you. If you could help it’d mean a lot to me”, Anna smiled gratefully. The girl offered to tidy the desks so Anna could organize the food. “That’s a great idea, uhh..”, Anna realized she didn’t know their names and was about to ask when the skeleton boy beat her to it. He introduced himself as Bernard Waye, and somewhat awkwardly outstretched his hands for the girls to shake. Anna shook his hand firmly and smiled brightly. “My name is Anna Blackrose. And thank you again for helping me”. She was ready to make this an amazing party.

-----Caoimhe was struck with a moment of confusion - of course she knew there'd be a party happening here, but there was no prior knowledge or awareness of this event. This was odd as the young Slytherin was well informed of almost all the gossip the school could offer and had most of the invitations to parties thanks to her wide variety of friends and connections. But this? Nada. Zip.
When Bernard complimented her outfit in return, her eyes and smile lit up with a genuine gratitude: "Thank you," she spoke shyly. Granted her outfit wasn't a costume like his, it felt nice to be complimented as she took her appearance very seriously.
As the girl began to speak explaining the party's details, her hazel eyes drifted to the posters on the walls of the classroom and tilted her head to the side getting a better look. Caoimhe wondered how many people would be attending - if Caoimhe didn't know, then who did? Let's not forget Caoimhe only came this way because she smelled food - the fact she stumbled on a party was completely by chance. Regardless, Caoimhe returned her gaze to the girl and the fellow Slytherin, whom introduced themselves as Anna Blackrose and Bernard Waye, and smiled genuinely revealing dimples on both sides of her cheeks.
Watching as Bernard outstretched arms as a formal greeting to the girls, Caoimhe couldn't help but chuckle as she took his hand and Anna took the other hand, then shook it gently before stating to them: "I'm Caoimhe Kyle, pleasure to meet you guys."
Now that introductions were made, Caoimhe smiled between the two, turned to Anna and stated - "Of course! Let's get this show on the road," jokingly, before taking her jacket off revealing her short-sleeve turtleneck and slung it across her black cloak so she wouldn't get too hot while lifting the desks. Caoimhe walked away from the duo and got to work by beginning to gently push the desks towards the wall in a row.

The two girls took my hands and both introduced themselves. The curly haired girl was known as Caoimhe Kyle, and the black-haired girl as Anna Blackrose. This was a Halloween party that Anna had been organizing, she further stated that she had created posters and banners and hung them about Hogwarts. I was unsure on how I could have missed a halloween poster, but yet again it was also quite probable. Anna thanked them graciously, I responded with a small shrug, I didn't think of it as such a big deal.
"Let's get this show on the road," Caoimhe joked which received a smile from me. She took of her jacket before she begun to move her desks I quickly went to grab one as Well as I pushed it, which released a loud unpleasant SCREEEEEEECH!
[color=##941b1b]"Oops! Sawhry guys!"[/color] I said with an awkward laugh before resorting to picking them up, and taking them across the room to place against walls. With all three of us working it went quite rapidly, I made sure to keep an eye out to make aure none of them were struggling.
"Soooo... Like what next?" I said letting my eyes drift across the room before letting it fall on the baskets of food, which I avoided the urge to eat. "Should we like set up a place for the food?..."
"Forget about the dirty looks. The photographs your boyfriend took. You said you read me like a book. But the pages all are torn and frayed!"

Halloween Party?
After the introductions Anna learned the names of her generous helpers. Caoimhe and Bernard. “You have a beautiful name Caoimhe. Does it mean anything?”, Anna had gotten into habit asking the origin of the names, it was interesting to her, kind of like discovering a very unique flower and knowing a little bit more about it. She turned to Bernard when he started moving the tables, it made a big screech, and Anna covered her ears. He quickly apologized and picked the table up instead. Anna still couldn’t figure out his accent. “Hey Bernard, where are you from? I like your accent”, she said as she started moving one of the tables as well. Caoimhe took of her green jacket and went on to moving tables too.
It took some time, but it was finally ready. Bernard asked what now, while eyeing the food baskets. Anna came up to one and picked a few black and purple tablecloths. “I’m going to cover the tables with these”, she nudged the basket with her foot. “You can add these on top”. In the basket where various orange, black and white paper decorations. Some where just paper strings, while the others were little ghosts, bats or pumpkins. Anna made some of them, but her mother and grandmother sent her more as well, along with the tablecloths. She was really proud of herself, thinking about this party all the way back in September. She smiled at the other two and started placing the tablecloths.
