Ch.1 This Is Halloween Town

(Warning extreme corniness in the beginning)

It's a cold and snowy night in Christmas Town. You walk down the cobbled streets, passing tiny lit up houses whose curtains are open to where you can see the sleeping residents inside. Eventually you come to the largest house in the village, and knock on the bright green door. As if by magic, the door opens itself bring a living room with a roaring fire into your line of sight. By the fire in and old looking rocking chair , reading a book and snacking on lemon drops, sits a man in red robes with white fur lining the edges as well as a matching hat.

He looks up, just now noticing you standing there in the doorway. A large grin appears on his face as he starts gesturing for you to come in.

"Ho ho, who might you be?" You walk over and shake his hand, all the while taking a seat into a chair that appeared across from his. Taking a seat you tell him your name.

"Ah, what a lovely sounding name. My name is Albus Dumbledore, though many may know me as Santa Claus. Tell me my child what may I do for you?"

You tell him.

"Oh, you wish to know about that debacle that happened a couple years back. Well let me get set before we get started, would you like a lemon drop?"

You take a lemon drop.

"Well now it all started in Halloween Town."

You ask a question.

"What's that? You've never heard of the holiday towns? We'll let me start by saying each holiday has a door leading to its own separate world. Although I'm curious as to how you got here without going through the door. Oh well, but yes each holiday has in a way its own universe. And for the longest time none of the holidays even knew the others existed. Of course, that all changed when Tom stumbled across that is…."

(Scene change)

A large door that looks like a jack-o-lantern swings open to reveal a dark path leading toward a small town. A long the way is a large graveyard, and from within it music sounds. From out of nowhere appears Bellatrix Lestrange, a maniacal grin stretching across her face. Dressed in a torn up Victorian dress, her hair in its usual messy curls with her eyes covered in very dark eye makeup.

"Boys and girls of every age," she says, small insane giggles escaping as she does so. "Wouldn't you like to see something strange?"

On either side of her appeared the Lestrange brothers, the same amount of insanity with a hint of amusement shines through. Both brothers were dressed in black suits that appeared to be very well worn. From their foreheads protruded horns that curved back and then around, to where the tip eventually came even to their chins. With long black, claw-like fingered hands they reach out in greeting.

"Come with us and you will see," says Rabastan

"This our town of Halloween." Finishes Rodolphus

Suddenly they turn and run down the path to towards Halloween Town. As they run by, lit up jack-o-lanterns begin to fall on the spiked fence post all the while singing in tune to the music playing around them.

"This is Halloween."

"This is Halloween."

"Pumpkins scream in the dead of night."

As the last pumpkin falls it lets forth an ear splitting scream. The path ends at a gate way that leads into the graveyard, the gates flinging themselves open to let the three Halloween Towner's in. As they continue racing towards town ghosts of every shape and size start springing up from the graves adding in their own haunting melody.

"This is Halloween! Everybody make a scene." cried out one that had a sword going through its stomach, and with a war cry a small ghostly battle started to play out. Canons were being fired, swords were clashing, and the ghosts would pretend to lose body parts as their battle went on.

"Trick or treat till the neighbors going to die of fright." Shrieks out one female ghost, quickly streaking by. Soon enough the gates leading into the town itself appear, and with it was a ghost standing on either side of the gate as if keeping guard for something.

"It's our town. Everyone SCREAM!" cries one, with the other ending in. "In this town of Halloween."

As the trio makes their way through town a large bed jumps out from nowhere. From under it a large clawed hand comes out dragging with it the body of Fenrir Greyback.

"I' am the one hiding under your bed." He growls threateningly. "Teeth ground sharp, and eyes glowing red!"

He bares his large fangs, and makes a threatening jump forward. Moving past him is a set of darkly lit stairs running up the side of a building. From under the stairs appears Hagrid, with a miniature Aragog perched on his head. With a grin, that isn't all that scary and following more along the lines of amused, he inputs his own lines. He starts waving showing of his hand that, instead of fingers had tiny basilisks attached to it.

"I' am the one hiding under your stairs. Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair." He emphasized the last part by reaching up and giving Aragog a light tap, which then started to purr under the attention.

"This is Halloween! This is Halloween." Screamed out the traveling trio. With a twirl they transported into a well furnished room with a single coffin in it.

"Halloween." With a bang the coffin lid opened to reveal a well dressed Lucius Malfoy.

"Halloween." Another bang and the cushions of a nearby couch flew off revealing Theodore Nott.

"Halloween." The grandfather clock opens, and out steps Blaise Zambini.

"Halloween." The last vampire being Nott Sr. falls and hangs from the ceiling.

All four vampires exit their sleeping places, and straighten themselves up. Each one, as they walk outside, grabs a cane that doubles as an umbrella. They proceed to exit with Lucius in the lead, and Nott Sr. bringing up the rear.

"In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song." As they sang this, they transformed into a large swarm of bats that disappeared into the cold night air. Then out of nowhere Minister Fudge appears. Wearing his usual bowler hat and suit, but instead of a bowtie, there was a small black spider decorating the spot where a bowtie should have been. Minister fudge was smiling, and with a turn of his head his face became paler and had a large frown on it. He kept switching between his two faces until, he too eventually started speaking.

"In this town, don't we love it now?" he asked in merriment. "Everybody's waiting for the next surprise."

As the trio turns on another street, a hobo corpse is sitting there on the corner.

"Round that corner, man hiding in the trashcan." He sings out as a large grim like dog runs around the corner, disappearing behind a trashcan. "Something's waiting to pounce, and how you'll…"

"Scream!" shrieked out Sirius Black as he jumped out from behind the trashcan. He was wearing a red suit and had two small horns protruding from his head, a long bifurcated tail and two small red wings coming out of his back. Next to him the brick wall was torn down as one Remus Lupin tore through it. He was wearing a shredded shirt with sleeves going to his elbows and his pants were ripped up and ending at his knees. On his head sat two brown wolf ears that came with a matching tail.

"This is Hallooooweeeeeeen!" he howls

"Red 'n' black," coming out of the storm drain was Mad Eye Moody, unknown slim dripping from all over him. "Slimy green."

"Aren't you scared?" they all asked.

Going into the hole in the wall created by Remus, it leads towards a large underground tunnel. Out of nowhere zoom Narcissa and Tonks, riding on brooms throughout the tunnel being followed closely by the trio. Narcissa was wearing a neatly tailored black and silver dress, while Tonks wore a set of multicolored robes with a witch's hat sitting askew on her head.

"Well that's just fine." They both said.

"Say it once," sang Narcissa. "Say it twice."

"Take a chance and roll the dice!" jumped in Tonks.

"Ride with the moon in the dead of night." They both ended, Narcissa glaring at Tonks, who was grinning like the cat that got the cream. The tunnel's exit ended with it gaping towards the sky, both Narcissa and Tonks shooting off into the air. The trio quickly scrambled out of the tunnel and began to be followed by Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was carrying a large branch with several skeletons hanging from nooses on it.

"Everybody scream, everybody scream!" he yelled out.

"In our town of Halloween." Sang the skeletons.

Suddenly a large toad like woman by the name of Dolores Umbridge rode up on a unicycle, wearing a hideous pink clown costume. On her face was a large red nose and a propeller beanie on her head. An annoying overly sweet smile was stamped across her face.

"I' am the clown with the tear-away face." That being said she reached up and ripped her face off leaving a gaping black hole which, to many would be considered an improvement. "Here in a flash, and gone without a trace!"

With a snap of her fingers she vanished in a cloud of smoke. Floating by was Luna, in the form of a ghoul, the same dreamy look in her eyes. As she passed the trio she gave a soft chuckle.

"I' am the 'who' in the call 'who's there?'" she sang. "I' am the wind blowing through your hair."

As she flew off her fingers ran through the Lestrange brothers' hair, the icy feeling causing them to give a slight shiver. Looking up at the moon a shadow fell across it taking the shape of the head of a man with reptilian features.

"I' am the shadow on the moon at night. Filling your dreams to the brim with fright." The shadow morphed into an eerie fog that fell around what turned out to be the town square. In the distance you could hear the many ghosts and lone hobo zombie singing.

"This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!"

On the opposite side of the square was a lone guillotine. Playing near it was a group of children consisting of Teddy Lupin, Colin Creevey, and Hannah Abbot. Teddy was standing at the front of the large death machine holding a basket. Like Remus he too had wolf ears and a tail, but they were in neon blue. Hannah was at the side, holding the rope to release the blade; she was wrapped head to toe in old, dirty looking white bandages. Colin had his head through the hole, from his back came two large wings that he used to walk with instead of his legs.

"Tender lumplings everywhere." They all sang.

Hannah gave a sharp tug to the rope releasing the blade. It fell and with a swipe fell in the path of where Colin's head was. Colin surely would have lost it if not for him quickly pulling his head out just before the blade hit.

"Life's no fun without a good scare." They went on.

"That's our job," snag Colin and Hannah's moms. "but we're not mean."

"In our town of Halloween." Sang their fathers.

A crowd started to gather in the very center of the square where a large water demonic water fountain, that instead of water spouted a mysterious green slime. Running over the trio joined the other citizens of Halloween town.

"In this town." They all chorused.

"Don't we love it now?" cried out Fudge from his spot on a small stand.

"Skeleton Tom might catch you in the back." They all sang excitedly as large grins blossomed on everyone's faces. As they sang Hagrid appeared pulling a large wooden horse with a scarecrow on it towards the center. "And scream like a banshee. Make you jump out of your skin!"

Kingsley, who stood at the back, being the second tallest man in Halloween town, didn't notice the small figure peeking out from behind him. As he and his skeletons sang, "This is Halloween, everyone scream. Won't you please make way for a very special guy?"

The small figure was Harry Potter the rag doll. His skin was deathly pale, decorated with stitch work all throughout his body. He wore a black tight fitting shirt and pair of paints, his feet covered in black boots. Thin but not scarily so, he was more lean if anything. A mop of wild black raven hair sat on his head, while large luminous green eyes gazed out at the proceedings, as everyone continued to sing unaware of his presence.

"Our man Tom is King of the Pumpkin patch. Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King!" The scarecrow came to life and lit itself on fire from a torch a nearby man held. As it became consumed in flames, it danced upon the back of its wooden steed.

"This is Halloween! This Halloween!" the singing got louder as they continued on. The scarecrow suddenly jumped off the horse, diving into the fountain. All the while the citizens continued to chant 'Halloween'. As it disappeared below the surface Teddy, Colin, and Hannah ran up to look into it starting their own little verse of, "In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song."

"La-la-la."

After the children had finished their part and the citizens started to chant again, a figure rose from out of the water and stepped on to the rim of the fountain. His skin was bone white and his eyes were so dark, they were like bottomless pits. He had straight, shoulder length black hair that was pulled back by black leather cord. He wore a form fitting black pinstripe suit. A cocky smirk adorned his face; he was Tom Riddle the Pumpkin King.

"La-la-la. Halloween! Halloween!" the singing eventually died down as Tom started to walk towards the Minister, while on his way picking up Teddy and throwing him the air before placing him back on the ground next to Remus. When he made it to the small stage by the minister everyone began cheering and clapping. Harry timidly moving from his hiding place behind Kingsley and softly clapped with the others.

"Thank you everyone," began Fudge "without all of your help we would have not had our most terrifying Halloween to date. But most importantly let us Tom, for if not for his excellent guidance it surely would have not been as horrifying as our previous years."

"It was nothing Minister." Everyone then swooped in and started complimenting Tom and ultimately telling him he was the greatest thing to ever happen. As Harry watched the proceedings, he saw Tom glance around at everyone and upon seeing him, sent out a friendly wink. The blush that took over Harry's face would make Sirius' suits cry out in shame. So distracted was he by the wink Harry never noticed someone come up and behind him until it was too late.

"The deadly nightshade you slipped me wore off Harry." Someone ground out harshly while grabbing Harry's arm. Giving a gasp Harry turned and found Professor Snape, his caretaker. "Come now, you're not ready for such a public event yet."

"Yes, I' am." Said Harry defiantly trying to wrestle himself out of Snape's grip, as he tried dragging him back to the lab.

"Your coming with me." Growled Snape as he continued tugging Harry behind him. As Harry struggled he reached forward and undid the stitch work that kept his arm attached to his shoulder. The second it came undone Snape fell forward on the ground and Harry ran off. Looking up in the direction Harry ran in Snape yelled out, "Come back here you impudent bra-!"

Snape was cut off by Harry's dismembered arm beginning to beat him on the head.

Back with Tom, all the towns' folk slowly started to close in on him, with mostly the women telling him of how great he was. As they got closer he continued to back away towards a gate that led to the graveyard. He didn't think they'd ever stop until Minister Fudge started calling out that it was time to award the prizes for this year's Halloween contests. Seeing his chance he quickly made his escape to the graveyard.
