A/N: Sorry about the wait. Pippa moved to the Czech Republic last year, so we kinda forgot about it. But then she wrote chapter 6, so it's okay now! :)

Chapter 7- An Interesting Halloween Feast

The girls were in the Hospital Wing for two weeks due to their bug bites being very severe, since the bug had been bigger. They received many visits from people, which included James coming to visit Snitch, which made her very happy, a visit from Rose to give them all chocolate and sweets, and the twins Lysander and Lorcan came to visit Willow for quite a few hours, Snitch, Stella, and Pippa having to listen to them talk about 'Flying Broomstick KizzWizzers' for over an hour. Scorpius came to visit Stella, and Albus came to see Pippa, which caused Snitch, Willow and Stella to hide under their blankets and groan for the whole of his visit, which lasted a while.

By the time they were out they had lots of work to catch up on, and before they knew it, it was time for the Halloween Feast.

They all walked down with enthusiasm, glad to have a break from work. Snitch and Pippa said bye to Willow and Stella as they walked to their appropriate tables. Snitch sat down and started staring open wide at all the different kinds of cake available, and Pippa sat down next to Rose and they began an animated conversation on how Snitch would look if she dyed her hair different colours. Finally it was time to eat and Snitch started stuffing her face with cake, James giving her disgusted looks. 'Hey Snitch, that's pretty gross you know…' Snitch looked up at him.

'Oh…yeah, sorry.' She said, and immediately stopped and wiped her face with as much dignity as she could manage.

"I like cake." She said lamely.

James smiled. 'Yeah, I realised.'

Meanwhile at the Ravenclaw table Willow, Lysander and Lorcan were discussing about the "Wugglepump".

"So you're mum discovered it right?" asked Willow.

"Yeah," answered Lorcan. "In the holidays we are going to look for it in the forest."

"You can come if you want." asked Lysander hopefully.

"Yes, I would like that." said Willow with a smile.

At the Slytherin Table, Scorpius was trying to explain to Stella about the significance of the snake as the emblem of Slytherin, while all the Slytherins were teasing Stella. Finally Scorpius lost his temper and told them to SHUT UP.

Suddenly the doors of the Great Hall burst open and Professor Merlin ran in, his face ragged. "TROLL!" he yelled. "IN THE DUNGEONS!" There was silence in the hall. Suddenly everyone burst out into laughter, and the Great Hall was filled the ringing sound of students laughing, including Professor Merlin and all the teachers.

At the Gryffindor Table the laughter was the loudest.

"That's what happened to my dad!" James laughed.

"OH I love you!" Snitch said, caught up in the moment.

Everyone stopped laughing abruptly. James gave Snitch a weird look.

"Umm…as a friend, in a…godbrother type way…" Snitch said.

"Ohhh!" everyone said, and the tense atmosphere lessened and James smiled and went back to his food. Snitch just sat there, eating her cake slowly.
