*Harry, Ron, and Hermione are standing at a door*

Ron: Here goes!

Harry: ....

Hermione: Well, what are you waiting for Harry?

Harry: Huh? What?

Ron: Wring the door bell, silly!

Harry: What will the people say when we're in these silly suits?!

Hermione: Don't worry about that! It's the whole point!

Ron: Now just ring the doorbell!

Harry: Okay...*pushes the door bell, and surely enough, a lady answers the door*

Ron & Hermione: Trick or treat!

Harry:.....

Lady: Oh my! The little monsters have come at last!

Harry: uumm, excuse me, but we're not monsters, we're wizards!

Lady: *picks up bowel of candy* hmm? I'm sorry dear, I didn't quite hear you. What did you say?

Harry: *loudly* I SAID THAT WE ARE WI-*Ron and Hermione quickly cover his mouth up*

Hermione: err..he's a little hyperactive right now! Don't listen to anything he says!

Ron: Ya! Heh heh...he's been waiting for this day all year long! All geared up to go, aren't you Harry?

Harry: *with his mouth covered up* Mmph! mmmph uummph!

Lady: Ah, I see. I love this time of year too! Well, choose a candy kiddies! *Hermione takes a candy from the bowel, and Ron takes one for himself and another for Harry*

Ron: *dragging Harry off with Hermione* Thank you very much mam!

Harry: Mmph!

Lady: Bye bye kiddies! Happy Halloween!

Hermione: You too! *the door shuts* HARRY!

Harry: *pries off Ron's and Hermione's hands from his mouth* What was that all about?! You didn't have to cover my mouth up!

Hermione: You remember what Dumbledore and Snape said! We can't reveal that we're wizards!

Ron: Well, that's not really what they said. They said we couldn't use magic.

Hermione: It's all the same Ron! We musn't let the muggles here kow that we're wizards!

Harry: Ya...come to think of it, look at all the muggles here now!

Hermione: So many kids here! We've got to be careful now!

A little 5 year old boy in a cowboy costume: Wow! Look mommy! *pointing at Harry* He's dressed up as a big fat piggy!

Harry: He-he called me a...pig! How insulting!

Ron: Easy mate...just stay calm

Cowboy kid: *pointing at Ron* what is that thing?!

Cowboy kid's mom: I'm not sure...Maybe it's a worm

Ron: I AM NOT A WORM!!! I AM A BUTTERFLY!!! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M A BUTTERFLY YOU IDIOT?!?! *Tries to jump at the mom, but Harry and Hermione hold him back from doing so*

Cowboy kid: *points at Snape* what are you?

Snape: Go away!

Cowboy kid: You're a 'go away'? Uuuhh, what's a 'go away?'

Snape: A 'go away' is someone who does not like to be pestered by annoying little boys in silly looking hats and pointy boots, carrying a horse head on a stick! (a hobby horse)

Cowboy kid: Oh. Hey! That sounds just like me! Wait! Does that mean you don't like me? Mommy! That man hates me! *cries*

Cowboy kid's mom: er, let's go to another neighbourhood sweetie! *runs off in the opposite direction with her kid*

Snape: Good riddance! D@mn muggles...

Ron: Muggles are so weird...

Hermione: Why didn't you say trick or treat Harry?

Harry: Wha?

Ron: You're supposed to say trick or treat to get a candy!

Harry: Does that mean we do a trick for a treat?

Hermione: No, we just say trick or treat, and the adult gives you a treat! It's really not that hard Harry!

Harry: But, what's the meaning behind the phrase? Where did it come from, and why do we say it? You know...

Hermione: That might be a good question for a teacher to answer

Ron: Ya...let's go ask Snape! He'll know!

Hermione: 0__0; *grabs Ron* Let's not! How about we just stick to trick or treating for now! Snape really doesn't look like he's in the mood!

*they walk up to the next house*

Harry: So I say 'Trick or Treat', right?

Ron and Hermione: YES!!! JUST RING THE BELL ALREADY!!!

Harry: yeesh...*rings doorbell*

*An old man answers the door*

Harry, Ron, & Hermione: Trick or Treat!

Man: *stares at Harry for moment with a smile erupting on his face, and then covers his mouth, turning red and starts laughing really hard at the sight of Harry's costume*

Harry: Did I do something wrong?! I said Trick or Treat like you told me to!

Ron: Well, everyone on the street is staring at you, so you must have! *Hermione slaps Ron* Ow!

Hermione: I think he's just laughing at your costume Harry. But don't worry! That's a good thing!

*Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle come rushing over*

Malfoy: Look! That man is having a heart attack over Harry's costume! Won't be surprised to see the old coot lying on the doormat next!

Goyle and Crabbe: *laugh*

Hermione: He cannot be having a heart attack! He's just having a good laugh! *the old man suddenly clutches his chest, and drops dead*

Hermione: 0___0; I stand thoroughly corrected...

Harry: Oh-no...I'VE JUST COMITTED A MURDER!!!

* all the muggles stare at harry, and a burst of loud screams are heard as all the children and their parents evacuate the streets within seconds, leaving only the Hogwarts students in the neighbourhood*

Harry: I shouldn't have said that...

Snape: Well done Potter. *note the sarcasim* You've succesfully made an old man croak because of poor Halloween dress code, and cleared the entire street of trick or treaters. 30 points from Gryffindor!

*A bunch of cries of anger and dissapointment are heard from the Gryffindor trick or treaters*

Ron: What?! No fair!

Hermione: No one told us about a dress code for trick or treating though!

Snape: Do you want me to deduct 10 more points Miss Gragner?

*All the sudden, rustling and grunting noises are heard from some nearby bushes*

Harry: *jumps* What was that?!

Hermione: *stops* In a muggle neighbourhood, it's most likely a bear.

Ron: A b-bear?!

Malfoy: *in a baby voice* Aaawwww...is wittle Ronny-poo afwaid of the big scary bear? *laughs along with Crabbe and Goyle*

Ron: I'm not afraid! Just...a little startled! That's all!

A Gryffindor 4th year: It's getting louder!

* a bunch of twigs and branches snap and break and a big roar is heard *

Snape: Everyone behind me!

Ron: Malfoy doesn't need telling twice! He's already clutching Snape's robes!

Harry: *snickers*

Malfoy: DON'T LET IT EAT ME PROFESSOR!!!

Ron: Oh, now who's afraid!?

Snape: EXPELLIARMUS!!!*shoots the attack at the thing as it comes out of the bushes and it falls out of the bushes onto the pavement* Looks like it was a stupid bear after all.

Ron: Is it...dead?

Malfoy: It must be! What an ugly looking bear!

Hermione: Wait! That can't be a bear! Bears don't have beards! *runs over to the bear-like-figure* Professor...you just shot down Hagrid!

Snape: What?! *runs over and surely enough, in a poorly made bear costume, lay Hagrid, with smoke still rising from him* oh cr@p...
