So guys, this is my new Halloween story. It'll be 10 chapters long and I'll post everyday up until the 31st. Enjoy x
Chapter 1: Party Planning
"Aarggh it's Halloween tomorrow!" Harry cried to his friends at breakfast in the Great Hall on the 30th October.
"I'm aware Harry," Hermione replied sarcastically, "I'm surprised you didn't notice earlier." She pointed to the giant Jack O' Lanterns positioned around the giant room.
"I want to celebrate it this year!" He decided. "The Muggle Way!"
"The Muggle Way?" Ron, who was normally to busy eating to speak to his friends at meal times, asked in confusion.
"Yeah, like dressing up in costumes, apple bobbing, trick or treating..." Harry imagined all the things he saw Dudley and his stupid fat friends do every year.
"Trick or treating?" Ron asked. "What's that?"
"Where you knock on stranger's doors, demanding sweets." Hermione replied in a bored voice. She always hated Halloween.
"I think that's a great idea! Who are we going to get sweets off though, Harry?" Ron asked.
"I told Dumbledore my fantabulous idea. He's announcing it this morning and sending memos around to teachers." Harry was practically jumping in glee.
Just then, Dumbledore stood up at the breakfast table. "Due to an excellent idea, where I'm positive no-one will die..." He called out, making some people remember the "great" idea of the Triwizard Tournament in Harry's 4th year,
"...We'll be celebrating Halloween this year the more traditional, Muggle way." The old man coughed to clear his throat. "The teacher's (and if the students want to) are required to buy sweets for Trick or Treating, where the children can go into all of the Common Rooms and teacher's offices just by saying Trick or Treat,which are all the passwords until the 1st and get their sweets.
"I'm even allowing pupils aged 13 above, or aged 12 and below accompanied by an older student, to go into Hogsmeade that night. They'll be a Halloween party here in the Great Hall after dinner, where we'll have famous Halloween party games and a Costume Contest. The more Muggle made it is, the more chance it is of winning.
"I'm ever going to get the ghosts and Peeves to haunt the Shrieking Shack for some of the braver students." He shouted loudly.
"There will be a notice in the Entrance Hall later about it all, including the rules for the Costume Contest. You are not allowed the following; Polyjuice Potion, Dressing up as a supporter or as Voldemort as some -," His eyes flickered to Harry for a moment, "- may find it offensive and upsetting, if you're a Metamorphigi or a Animagus, you're not allowed to Transfigure yourself at all, any spell or hex, or dressing up as...what Muggles say "slutty" and "prostitute-like" clothing. This is mainly towards girls but, some men like to dress that way too. Not judging!" The hall gave an awkward clap as he said "That is all. Oh, all classes are cancelled today and everyone has a Hogsmeade shopping day to buy necessities."
"Classes are cancelled?" Hermione cried in despair.
"Woop!" Harry and Ron shouted enthusiastically. The girl just frowned at her two best friends.
"Tell you what, Herm," Harry said, "You can help us buy our costumes which are appropriate to the rules of the Costume Contest."
"Gee, thanks." Hermione mumbled.
"That's the spirit." Ron said, patting her on the shoulder as they made their way upstairs to change into public clothing and get their money.
So, that was chapter 1. I know Harry is really OOC in this but, hey.
Please please review :)
Will update tomorrow
