-Halloween Feast-
It was Halloween Evening and all of the students and teachers were inside the Great Hall, enjoying a fantastic feast. There was of course all of the usual foods; beef, chicken, potatoes, carrots, buttery corn and other greens. But the best part was all of the interesting chocolates and candies, malt drinks and decorations.
Twelve huge pumpkins floated in mid air, all with carved faces and lit within by orange candles. Live bats also flew high around the ceiling and there were skeletons walking amongst the students, serving blood-colored pop drinks with gummy spiders floating inside.
When a passing skeleton offered Ron a drink, he declined, having no desire to drink anything which contained spiders. Hermione laughed, "They're not real Ron," she said as she grabbed one for herself.
Ron's face cringed as he watched Hermione take a big gulp of the drink and allowed one of the spiders to escape into her mouth. She swallowed the liquid and then stuck out her tongue, exposing the gummy black spider that rested on it.
Ron sneered, "Yuck! They look so real! That's disgusting!"
Hermione laughed. She quickly chewed and swallowed the spider and then leaned close to Ron, "Okay, now give me a big kiss…" Ron pulled away and Hermione giggled as she pulled Ron into a hug.
He smiled and kissed her on the cheek instead, which only made her giggle some more.
The entire school, having finished the meal proportion of the feast, was now into playing tricks on each other with all of the various candies and goodies that were lying around.
Ron, Hermione and Harry were trying to decipher a bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans when Dumbledore rose in his seat at the teacher's table. Almost immediately the entire room became quiet.
"Well…this has been a lovely Halloween feast as always, but I think it is time that we all head to bed. Of course feel free to sneak away with as many candies and chocolates you like," Dumbledore winked at the students who quickly stuffed their pockets with Bertie's beans, Drooble's gum and the few unopened chocolate frogs.
An hour later, every Hogwarts teacher and student was fast asleep, but Hermione Granger was having a most peculiar dream…
