Author's Note: Thank you so much everyone for the wonderful reviews! I really appreciate it! I was expecting myself to give up after only the first chapter, but you guys keep me going. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And keep doing your thang~

I'd also like to thank CrimsonJoy, who suggested the song for Rachel and Santana's duet. I thought it was perfect! :)

Without further adieu, the Halloween Feast! Enjoy!


All of Hogwarts was gathered in the Great Hall for the Halloween Feast. Orange and black streamers hung from the ceiling, and pumpkins floated through the air. There were bats flying around the students, and every once in a while, the ghosts gliding throughout the room would try to scare people. This year, Dumbledore decided to try something different and allowed the students to dress up in costumes. Everybody had been looking forward to this night.

Kurt and Mercedes had been working on their costumes since the school year started. When they entered, everyone turned their heads. Kurt was wearing the red uniform of the Irish Guard, with a blue sash. Blaine came in beside him wearing the Blues and Royals uniform, with Mercedes on the other side, wearing a white wedding dress with long lacy sleeves.

"What in the world are you guys supposed to be?" Puck asked when they walked over to where the glee club was sitting.

"Are you that uncultured that you can't recognize the wedding outfits of the Royal Family?" Kurt said, twirling around to show off his costume, "I am obviously Prince William. Blaine here is Prince Harry, and Mercedes is the lovely Kate Middleton."

"Yeah, except hotter," Mercedes laughed, giving Tina a high-five.

"Um, isn't it a little awkward that you're dressed as Prince William, and Blaine is his brother?" Sam asked.

"Well, kind of… but this was the only way we could settle who was going to be who," Blaine replied.

"It's Halloween. We can do whatever we want. And we're still the best looking group here anyway," Kurt looked at Sam, Puck, and Finn, who were all dressed in brown rags, and raised an eyebrow, "How fitting. Neanderthals."

"Actually, we're cave men," Finn said. Kurt just shook his head.

"You look lovely as always, Quinn."

"Why, thank you, Kurt."

Quinn had her blonde hair up in a bun and wore a light blue gown, reminiscent of Cinderella. Mike and Tina were both dressed as vampires. Asian vampires are the most vicious of all the vampires, they said. And Artie wore a lab coat and a wig similar to Albert Einstein's famous hairdo.

"What da hell?" Artie stared at the doors with his mouth open and eyebrows raised.

There by the Great Hall's entrance stood a purple horse with three large horns sticking from its forehead. The eyes were big and crooked, and the stitches on the fabric making up the costume were poorly done, with some strands sticking out. The front legs started walking towards the group, while the back legs stumbled behind unevenly. Other students by the door stared and pointed at it, laughing. The person in the costume lifted the head off, revealing Brittany underneath.

"Hey, guys! Isn't this awesome!" she greeted the glee club and placed the head on the table.

"Wow, Brittany... that's some… costume." Kurt said, eyeing her outfit with skepticism.

"Thanks! But it was Santana who did most of it."

"Well, that explains it."

"Speaking of which, where is Santana?" Artie asked.

They heard a grunt from inside the posterior end of Brittany's costume. She gave it a pat and it wriggled around for a moment.

"She's in here," she said.

The entire group burst out laughing, and Artie almost fell back on his wheelchair. Brittany twisted her body around to unzip the middle section of the costume, revealing Santana. She stood up, immediately taking a deep breath, and brushed the hair away that had clung to her face from sweat.

"Oh, man!... This… is rich!" Quinn said in between breaths.

"Yeah. Keep laughing. Go on," Santana crossed her arms and huffed.

Kurt and Tina started crying, and Mercedes' laughter filled an entire corner of the hall, attracting even more attention to Brittany and Santana's costume. Puck gripped on to a chair to balance himself and pointed at the large horse's butt that Santana was wearing as pants.

"Nice ass, Lopez," he started to laugh even more.

"You are all on my list! All of you!" Santana glared at them with contempt.

They started to settle down, taking deep breaths to calm themselves. Mike held on to Sam to steady him, and Quinn dabbed her eyes with a napkin. Brittany tilted her head to get a good look at Santana's behind.

"I like your ass, San," she deadpanned, causing the group to burst out laughing all over again.

"Hey, where's Rachel?" Santana asked, ignoring everybody's laughter, "I only noticed 'cause I've gone five minutes without wanting to rip my own ears off."

"That would be gross," Brittany said, "And I like your ears, too. Just as much as your ass."

Just then, a blonde, curly-haired girl, dressed in a white dress, came running into the Great Hall. She headed towards the glee club and shoved a black coat into Santana's arms.

"Santana, hurry up and put that on!" she shouted. Santana sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Who is that?" Brittany whispered to Tina.

"Rachel, what did you do to your hair?" Finn asked, picking at Rachel's blonde curls.

Rachel slapped his hand away, "It's for our duet! I put a Colour Change Charm on it. It's important for a performer to fully evoke their character. A wig just would not suffice!" She pulled her wand out and pointed it at Santana, "Now, it's your turn."

"Hold up!" Santana smacked Rachel's wand away, "You ain't messing with any part of me. Besides, my hair's already black."

"I wasn't going to do anything to your hair! Your skin is supposed to be green!"

"What! No. Nuh uh," Santana started to walk away, but Brittany pulled her back, "This is not what I signed up for. I am not going up there in front of everyone with green skin. They've already seen me dressed like a horse's ass!"

"Three-Horned Blurgle's ass," Brittany interjected.

"Santana, it's part of the performance. Have you no respect for the arts?"

"Yeah, Santana, have you no respect for the arts?" Quinn mocked.

"This is all your fault, Tubbers!" Santana pointed at Quinn, "I'm gonna get you back for this. Watch out!"

Quinn just laughed, and Brittany rubbed Santana's back to calm her down.

"Okay, let's get this done," Rachel readied her wand, "We're on in ten minutes."

"This night just gets better and better," Quinn snickered.

"Multicorfors!"


"Good evening, students!" Professor Dumbledore's voice resonated throughout the Great Hall, "I hope you are all enjoying tonight's feast. We have a very special performance from Hogwart's very own glee club, and I expect all of you to give them your full attention and respect. They will be performing 'What Is This Feeling?' from the popular Muggle Broadway Classic, Wicked. Now, without further adieu, New Directions!"

Dumbledore walked back to his seat, while the teachers at the front started clapping. Most of the students were groaning and rolling their eyes, clapping without much enthusiasm. Other students were quietly chuckling, and a few mocking cheers could be heard. Rachel and Santana walked up to the front of the hall, Rachel standing on one side, and Santana on the other. A couple students by the front choked on their drinks when they took in the sight of Santana's green skin. She shot them a menacing glare, immediately silencing them.

"Dearest, darlingest momsie and popsicle," Rachel started to speak.

"My dear father," Santana said in annoyance.

There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz,
But of course I'll care for Nessa
But of course I'll rise above it
For I know that's how you'd want me to respond,
Yes, there's been some confusion for you see my roommate is…

Rachel looked over at Santana with a puzzled expression.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe…

Santana narrowed her eyes at Rachel then looked back at the students in front of her.

"Blonde," she spoke. They continued to switch back and forth between lines.

What is this feeling so sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
My face is flushing
What is this feeling fervid as a flame?
Does it have a name?
Yeeeeesssss,
Loathing unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing

As they continued singing, the rest of New Directions walked down both sides of the hall towards the front. They lined up behind Rachel and Santana and in front of the staff table. Once the two Slytherins finished their verse, the rest of the club started singing.

Dear Galinda you are just too good
How do you stand it I don't think I could
She's a terror she's a tartar we don't mean to show a bias
But Galinda you're a martyr

Rachel stood at the center and raised both her arms toward the ceiling.

Well, these things are sent to try us.

Poor Galinda forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you we're all on your side!
We share your
Loathing!

At that last line, Rachel and Santana's voices joined together, with New Directions singing their lines in the background.

What is this feeling so sudden and new (Unadulterated loathing!)
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you (For her face!)
My pulse is rushing (Her voice, her clothing!)
My head is reeling (Let's just say!)
(We loathe it all!) Oh, what is this feeling!

Santana met Rachel at the center and they stood facing each other. Santana had a couple inches on Rachel, so she leaned over her as they glared at each other.

Loathing! (Loathing!)
There's a strange exhilaration (Loathing!)
In such total detestation (Loathing!)
It's so pure it's so strong (Loathing!)

They spun around with their backs to each other and crossed their arms.

Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be

They slowly took a few steps forward as they sang the last verse, with the other club members harmonizing in the background.

Loathing for forever loathing
Truly, deeply loathing youu
My whole life long!
(Loathing! Unadulterated loathing!)

"Boo!" Santana yelled in Rachel's face.

Rachel faked a scream, and on the very last note of the song, she placed her hands on her hips and flashed her "show face" at the audience. Santana was also grinning widely and breathing deeply. The adrenaline rush from performing was exhilarating for the both of them.

The students watching were silent for a moment, but then suddenly started clapping and cheering with real enthusiasm. All of New Directions stared at them in awe, not expecting the kind of applause they were receiving. The teachers also enjoyed the performance, and Dumbledore quietly applauded them as well, nodding his head in approval.

"I can't believe it!" Rachel exclaimed. The glee club gathered around her and Santana, enveloping them in a group hug. "They actually liked it! They actually liked it!"

Everyone in the club congratulated Rachel and Santana. Finn wrapped his arm around Rachel and kissed the top of head, Brittany doing the same to Santana.

"I'm so proud of you," they both said.

"I gotta say, Berry," Santana said to Rachel. She was even more surprised than everybody else that they received such a positive response, "Singing with you wasn't as bad as I thought it was going be. It was actually… pretty fun."

Rachel beamed at Santana's unexpected compliment.

"Now, turn my skin back to normal, or I'm never doing this with you again," Rachel's face fell, but then brightened again when she noticed the playful tone in Santana's voice.

"I don't know, Santana," Brittany said so only Santana could hear, "I kinda like your green skin. It's... hot," She blew into Santana's ear at that last word, causing her to shiver. Brittany glanced around and continued, "You know, the prefects' bathroom is probably empty right about now…" Santana's eyes shot open and she awkwardly cleared her throat.

"Um, you guys, this was fun and all, but I just remembered I had something to do. I'll see you guys later," she announced to the glee club. She grabbed Brittany's wrist and pushed her way through the crowd, running straight out of the Great Hall with Brittany giggling the entire time.
