Chapter 7- Halloween American style.

It was a couple of days before the Halloween feast. Lizzy was getting excited she always loved Halloween. The only problem was that no one seemed to be getting ready. She talked about this to Hermione.

"Hermione? Why isn't anyone getting ready for Halloween?" Asks Lizzy.

"What do you mean?" Asks Hermione

"Well no ones getting their costumes ready. I haven't seem anyone carving a pumpkin. There's no decorations. Need I say more?" Asks a rather annoyed Lizzy.

"What? Oh! You mean celebrate Halloween the way muggles do." Says Hermione.

"Uh, yes? I guess. Wait muggle way?" Asks a very confused Lizzy.

"Yes the muggle way. All we do here is have a large feast. Mind you most of it's junk food." Replies Hermione.

"What? No costumes? Trick-or-Treating? Parties? Carving?" Asks a horrified Lizzy. Carving a pumpkin was always her favorite part. Taking out the slimy insides. Throwing them at her dad. Him throwing his at her. Them staring a pumpkin gut throwing fight. Her mom coming outside to yell at them for being childish. Telling them to clean up this mess. Yep that was Halloween.

"No. We just have a feast. Hagrid does carve pumpkins for the feast though." Says Hermione.

"When does he usually carve them?" Asks a hopeful Lizzy. All she wanted to do was carve and de-gut a large pumpkin.

"I don't know. The day before. Maybe? Why?" Asks Hermione. Her parents never celebrated Halloween the same way Lizzy described it.

"I need to carve a pumpkin!" Lizzy shouts running off to find Hagrid and ask him when he carved the pumpkins and if she could help.

Hagrid's Hut

"Hagrid?" Asks Lizzy.

"Yes? Who's dere?" Asks Hagrid.

"It's Lizzy." Was the reply.

"Ah Lizzy. Wha' can I do fur you?" Asks Hagrid.

"Well I was wondering if you needed help carving the pumpkins." Says Lizzy.

"No one's actually offered ter elp me before." Says Hagrid. "But if you really want to. You could elp me if you wish to."

"Yes! I'd love to. When do you want me here?" Asks Lizzy.

"The day before, after your classes of course." Replies Hagrid.

"Right. I'll be here." Says Lizzy and then she's gone to see if her friends want to help out as well.

Common Room

"Are you guy's sure you don't want to help?" Lizzy asks looking at her friends. She really wanted them to help her.

"I have no idea how you could think that that would be fun." Ron replies looking at his new friend.

"It's very fun. We all get to hang out. And you get to carve whatever you want on your pumpkin. Please help!" Lizzy pleads hoping her friends would at least try it out.

"We could give it a try." Harry says to Lizzy getting a look from Ron.

"Try! I don't even want to get near the thing." Ron says looking at Harry horrified.

"Alright Ron, you could just watch. But it's so much fun you'll end up doing your own by the end." Lizzy says knowing how fun it could be, especially when it's your first time.

It was the day that Lizzy was waiting for. Her energy was bouncing off the walls in every classroom she was in. Snape wasn't to pleased with this, but she wasn't breaking any rules so he couldn't punish her. Finally her last class came. It was herbology with the Hufflepuff's. She was standing next to Hermione and talking about what she was going to carve. Lizzy was successful in getting the twins and Lee excited about carving. They were all meeting outside of Hagrid's after this class. Finally the class was over and the group of four, (Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Lizzy.) including Neville headed for Hagrid's.

Hagrid's Hut

"Ello guy's. I see Lizzy's rounded up a large group. Got bout eight. Alright each of ya pick a pumpkin and wait for everyone else." Hagrid says and everyone goes to a pumpkin. Lizzy picked on right next to Fred.

"Ready guy's?" Lizzy asks looking around. She had convinced Ron to try it and he was next to Harry.

"Al righ'. Each of yer ge's one of dese." Handing everyone a large shovel. (They are giant pumpkins remember?) "I've already cut ther tops off fur ya. So all you need to do is clean them out." Hagrid says and goes over to some pumpkins to start cleaning them out.

It took them about two hours to clean them out properly. Lizzy was having fun. She had even helped some others clean theirs out. Finally they were able to be able to carve them. Unfortunately it was to late and they had to go to dinner.

"Bye Hagrid!" Everyone called as they headed for the school.

"Bye! See ya tomorrow." Hagrid replies putting the tops back on the pumpkins.

Great Hall

"That was so much fun!" Lizzy says sitting down for dinner.

"Yah. I'm glad you talked us into going." Hermione replies getting some food.

"I can't wait to carve them tomorrow." Lizzy says getting some food of her own. "We just have to go through another boring day of classes first." Lizzy continues.

Once everyone had finished dinner they all headed to their common rooms. There they talked about what they were each going to carve.

Gryffindor Common Room

"I'm going to make mine happy." Neville says.

"Mine's going to have vampire teeth." Fred and George says.

"Great, mine's going to be a surprise." Lizzy says to everyone.

"Why?" Asks Lee.

"Because, not everyone has to make a face. Mine's going to be a picture." Lizzy replies.

"What kind of picture?" Asks Fred looking at her.

"Ah, that's the surprise. Now, I'm not an early person so I'm heading for bed." Lizzy replies getting up and going to the fifth year girl dorm.

The next day was one of Lizzy's favorite days of the year. It was Halloween day and all of the houses were ready for it. None of the teachers in Lizzy's old school would dare to give homework on Halloween. This was most likely because none of the students had their heads in school. But here it was different. They piled it high! Lizzy was happy that they had gotten to get to Hagrid's before lunch to finish their pumpkins.

Hermione had done a face with triangle eyes and a toothless smile. Harry had made a face with moons for the eyes and a smile with some teeth here and there. The twins had both made a face with vampire teeth in their smile and their eyes looked catlike. Neville had made a happy looking face with circle eyes and a wide grin. Ron had made one with an evil grin and slits for eyes, they looked like a snakes. (I think we all know who he made.) Lee made one like Lizzy's. He carved the Gryffindor emblem. Lizzy had decided to do all of her friends and they were all under a half moon starry night.

It was during the feast that Lizzy had the most fun. She couldn't believe the teachers would let the students eat so much candy. Weren't they afraid of sugar high's? Lizzy only ate what she felt was good enough. Then, they had to head to the common room to start their homework. So in the common room after the feast Lizzy sat down and started doing her homework with Hermione. Lizzy was happy that they got done quickly. After their homework was done they watched as Hagrid extinguished the pumpkins and went to bed. Lizzy was ready for the next day, or was she?
