A/N: Hello there, this is an idea that I'm not quite sure how it came about, but please enjoy and review.

Thanks!

The Oblivious Armbands.

Halloween was approaching, and chatter was buzzing around the great hall until Dumbledore stood up, quietening the students.

"As you all know Halloween approaches. This year will be different. I have devised an armband made especially to obliviate. These armbands will cause any onlooker not to recognise the person wearing one, if you like it will be a magical masquerade. At midnight, we will take off these armbands to see whom we are dancing with. We will know who we are, but will not recognise our fellow students, I advice that this dance be dateless, as none of you will recognise your date, or for that matter remember who it was. The armbands will only hide your identity and shield it from other people. Owls shall deliver these armbands to you on the day of the masquerade. I suggest you tell your fellow students what you will dress as before the ball, when they put on the armbands, they will forget you told them. Have fun picking out your fancy dress, for the masquerade shall not hide your costume…" with that Dumbledore swept out of the room.

Chatter roared in the great hall.

However, Dumbledore forgot to mention that when you wear the armband, you forget it's there.

One voice was heard above them all, none other than Harry Potter;

"So, it's like starting anew?" with this question in mind the students hurried to bed, to have their dreams filled with masked wonders.

So, like a fire in the forest, new friendship may spread out, spreading to even the most unlikely of places.

A/N: insert evil cackle here please tell me what you think by reviewing, thanks!
