This Is Halloween:

Prompt: Mask

The young witch removed the velvet mask from her face, letting her hand rest by her side. The whole school was gathered in the Great Hall for the customary Halloween Ball. The Slytherin stood off to the side, watching as couples danced across the Great Hall gracefully or some stood off to the side talking amongst themselves.

Callidora let her arms rest in front of her as she leaned against the wall. She was being careful not to ruin her dress, one picked out for such an occasion. Her glossy hair cascaded over her shoulders, like a waterfall of amber and her dark green dress robes were stunning on her.

"You know, this is supposed to be a masked ball?"

Callidora nearly jumped, looking at the one who had just approached her. She rolled her eyes and shook her head the very next moment. "Yes, I know." She commented as she looked back at the couples dancing across the floor.

"Well then, would you care to put your mask back on and join me in a dance?"

The witch looked at him for a moment before replacing the velvet mask on her face once more, accepting the offer of a dance.
