"Finally Halloween has come." Harry said looking out on the bright October day.

"Ya I know, it's just been too boring." Ron agreed.

They all met down in the Great hall for Breakfast, the hall was decorated brilliantly, jack-o-lanterns seemed to be floating about their heads.

"Are you ready for the Quiditch game, Dawn?" Harry asked as she sat down near them.

"Yeah pretty sure. You?"

"Of course."

"It's a wonder why they don't cancel classes today." Neville said, stuffing some toast in his mouth.

"Yeah with all the events happening today." Lavender agreed.

"Aren't there only two?" Dawn asked.

"The game and the dance? you think that's all?" One of the Weasley twins (I think George) laughed.

"Don't tell me you take Halloween seriously?" Dawn said. "It's a myth and most of us are over 15."

"Yes." everyone yelled at her.

"Are you crazy woman? It's a big day for all wizards and witches!" Fred said, smacking his forehead.

"Okay I am sorry." she said forcefully. She looked around, 'Wonder where Willow, Spike and Snape are...'

Rosenberg's class was first, defending yourself, was on the schedule.

"We have been through four classes of defending yourself. Now for a treat, we are going to play a game." she smiled.

Everyone started to whisper. Snape came out of a doorway with his wand out, looking very displeased. The students whispers were becoming louder.

"Silence!" he yelled. 'Geeze why I am I doing this?' he thought.

Everyone looked at each other, but stayed quite. Willow mouthed thanks to Snape and he rolled his eyes.
Willow and Snape started to chant a spell, the light sky was getting darker, and Willow's eyes were turning dark brown almost black. Pushing herself to use her wand her eyes dimmed down to brown. The students were silent, until the chanting stopped. Will sighed in relief.

"The name of the game is Instincts and Survival." she said in the dark. "This is a muggle game which I thought would be fun outside." groans were heard through out the group, and Snape's sigh. She cleared her throat, "Instead of being animals like muggles play, I am making you magical creatures. The categories go as harmless, harmful and deadly. Now pair up and Spike will give you a card."

Everyone reluctantly paired up, Slytherin and Gryffindor was again in the same group. Draco and Stephanie were the only ones left without a partner from their house. With a scowl Draco looked around displeased.

"Malfoy, get with McDougall. It's only a game you'll be fine." Spike yelled and pushed him beside the girl.

Steph gripped her wand tighter. Malfoy looked the other way, 'Why oh why did I have to get hooked up with one of the dream team?' he hissed, but looked at her again, her mouth wasn't pursed and her eyes didn't looked at annoyed. 'Why oh why did I get paired with a boy?' Stephanie thought sadly.

Harry and Ron looked at their card, handed by Spike. "Fawns?!" Ron groaned.

Dawn looked at her card, "Awesome we are deadly Witches!" Dawn smiled at Hermione.
Hermione looked at her partner, "Okay.. but what is it for?"

Draco took the card from the vampire, and glance at it. Oh how ironic a harmful vampire card... He heard his partner groan, "Problem?" he asked his eyebrow rised.

"No, power is good..." she stuffed the card in her robe.

Willow cleared her throat, "All harmless creatures with me, Harmful with Spike and Deadly with Professor Snape. No changing cards or points will be taken off."

In the Harmless group they are told that they can only run and have a blocking spell. They had to find "Water" and "Food" (both stamps they have to find) to survive.
The Harmful Group had a blocking spell, and a spell to take "Power" (tickets they carry with them) from the weaker creature. They just have to find "water".
The Dangerous group only had four, they were told they have two spells; one to take power, and one to "destroy them" (bring them back to home base).
Willow distributed coloured tags to the students, Blue to the Harmless, Green to the Harmful, and Black (to blend) to the Deadly. Willow explained that each group must find a marker to stamp on their cards before they look for food or water. (cross for harmless, sword for harmful, skull for deadly) Snape raised his wand to the sky, blue light shot out, Harmless creatures scurried off to the marker. The rest of the group looked around, Willow raised her wand, Green light shot out, harmful creatures ran off, some loathing that they couldn't put a spell on the others yet. Hermione, Dawn, Maleficent Bullstrode and another girl from Slytherin stood there, looking around. Willow raised her arms and a crack of lightning broke the darkness of the sky. They were off.
