This story contains several of my own characters, if you wish for more detailed profiles please don't hesitate to ask.
With Halloween now fast approaching the third years and up, were looking forward to their term trip to Hogsmede. Micky and Kassi got into one of the many carriages and went off to the small wizarding town down, near the train station. Once they were there Kassi demanded that they go to Honeydukes to build up her, already enormous, sweet supply.
While Kassi was carefully picking her favourite sweets, Micky remained near the entrance and pretended to be interested in a selection of 'unusual flavours' that were on display at the front of the store. She saw, vampire lollies (which she assumed were blood flavour), cockroach clusters and some things called lemon acid tongue burners.
*Charming* she thought, *just what children want, a hole burnt into the middle of their tongues.*
After what seemed like ages Kassi had finally finished her shopping for sweets and, with bags filled to the brim, they left and went and looked around the other shops. Both of them were really enjoying the day and they both admitted that they needed a break after all the work that had been piled on to them by the teachers in preparation for their OWLs.
The wind started to pick up and the cold kicked in mid-afternoon, so they decided to go into The Three Broomsticks and have a drink to warm themselves up. In there they met Fred and George who beckoned them over to sit down with them. They spent the remainder of the afternoon discussing the new ideas that the twins have for their joke shop. Even though they were the ones having the ideas the twins still turned to Micky for help in how to make them. She knew more about charms and transfiguration than either of them did, so they would give Micky their ideas and see if they could be done.
The twins decided to join Micky and Kassi going back to the castle, the next day was going to be Halloween and they wanted to wake up early and get a head start on the scary jokes and spells they were going to leave for the teachers. Kassi was very eager to help but Micky just asked to be kept out of it, she wasn't a spoilsport, it's just that she didn't like getting into any trouble.
The whole of the next day, Micky was constantly looking round corners before walking with fear of being jumped on or scared by Fred, George or Kassi, or even any of the Slytherins since Flint had been trying to get her back since she embarrassed him in the great hall.
But after a day of fearing for your life, the Halloween feast was always something to look forward to. Whilst sitting at the Gryffindor table, the twins were telling Micky how they got Snape, and got him good. With that she looked over to the staff table and saw Snape on the end with a look on him that could kill, he really was sulking.
She then glanced over and saw Lupin; he'd been off for several days, apparently ill, although from the look of him Micky knew otherwise. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, he seemed to be getting thinner by the day and he was so much paler than he was before. Lupin then looked up from his food and saw Micky staring at him; he smiled at her weakly. Micky shot her head beck across quickly, embarrassed that she had been caught. She then started explaining to Fred on how to make sweets that people ill, instructing him on the potions and antidotes that should be used.
When the feast finished Micky, Kassi, Fred and George made their way up to the common room just to find a huge group of people waiting outside the portrait. Kassi turned around and asked,
"What's going on Micky?"
"I wish I knew... hang on"
She had just caught a glimpse at the fat lady's portrait and she saw that it had been ripped to shreds.
"Get out of the way, what's going on?" They hear the headmaster and Filtch heading up the stairs; he finally reached the portrait and stared at it for a minute or so before turning to Filtch and said,
"I want you to you to send all the ghosts to look for her at once."
But Filtch wasn't looking at Dumbledore at this point, even though he was being spoken to. He was staring off into the distance, as though something had greatly interested him. Eventually though, he spoke up,
"There's no need for ghosts headmaster, the fat lady's right there." He stuck out a bony finger ad pointed to a painting of a large Pygmy hippopotamus that was quietly grazing, and behind it was a woman trying desperately to hide from view. Dumbledore walked up to the painting and asked,
"My dear lady, what happened to you?"
"Eyes like the devil he's got. He's here, somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black!"
At this Dumbledore sent them all back to the great hall, where the other houses, who all looked very confused, soon joined them.
"The other teachers and I need to perform a search of the castle, and we all feel it would be safer if you all slept in here tonight." Dumbledore then turned to leave, before turning back round for a moment.
"Oh, yes you'll be needing..."
He then waved his wand and produced several hundred big, squashy, purple sleeping bags. Everyone began to grab sleeping bags and try and get a space on the floor, the head boy (Percy) was trying to get everyone to quieten down and go to straight to sleep,
"That'll never happen" George whispered to Micky. "The other houses want to know what's going on too badly"
"Yep and the Gryffindors are more than happy to tell them." She replied.
No one fell asleep until the early hours of the morning, since they were too busy making up ways he may have gotten in. But after that night the entire castle was on red alert
Again apologies for the length of the chapter, I'm doing this at the same time as history revision and even though I know which one of the two I'd rather be doing, the revision is unfortunately compulsory.
