A/N: This is the last chapter! Thanks for reading, please review, and as always, we own nothing.
The week before Hallowe'en had come and gone, and it was now the morning of October 31st. Throughout the past week, the House-elves, Staff and Students had been very busy decorating the Great Hall for the Hallowe'en ball. Hermione had bewitched tons of floating pumpkins around the school with the help of Professor Flitwick , who had just puttered around squeaking out encouragement to the students who were helping. Snape had brewed lots of diluted potions to put around for decoration, and if anyone were to consume them, they would get off with mild results. So far Susan Bones had been sent to the Hospital Wing with only half of her body turned inside out. Harry shuddered at the thought of Susan's horrendous appearance and continued admiring the enchanted cobwebs, complete with large spiders.
Ron hurried down the third floor hallway, he had forgotten to ask Hermione to the ball! In a rush, he rounded a corner,and a chilling mist enveloped him. The youngest Weasley boy screamed in fright. From farther down the hallway, Peeves cackled in delight and sped away. Ron shook his head and moved carefully out of the freezing fog and into the main corridor. He then skipped quite swiftly through the great hall and stopped right behind his girlfriend, who was fixing the orange and black streamers that were hanging from the ceiling. "Ermm...Hermione? Uhh…..Hello?" Hermione spun around and smiled, "Oh, Ron, you're here!" Ron smiled, "Er yeah, you're going to the ball with me right?" "Of course Ron, why did you even ask, even if you went with another girl, we'd still end up going together." and with that, Hermione went back to decorating the punch table with small poisonous looking frogs.
Harry stood at the entrance to the Great Hall as the clock struck 9 in the evening. As the Chosen One stood in the cold breeze that blew in from the open doors, students of all years were milling around behind him enjoying themselves. Every so often, a large bang would be heard followed by cheering, indicating to Harry that someone had just won a game of Extreme Exploding Snap, developed by Fred and George Weasley. The person he was waiting for, Severus Snape, soon appeared in front of him, wearing a Gryffindor tie and robes. Harry smiled, knowing that he and Severus had switched outfits for their Hallowe'en costumes, as Harry was wearing Slytherin robes and carrying bottles of dangerous potions. Severus nodded casually to Harry, "Shall we go then?" the Potions Master asked. The Gryffindor boy nodded and led the way to the festivities.
Luna Lovegood glanced around the Hall, admiring all the costumes. Her date, Neville had not come in costume, instead he had just put on his normal black clothes that were part of his "Goth phase", Ginny was dressed in her Quidditch robes, Fred was dressed as George, and George was dressed as Fred. Luna smiled and turned to her right, where Dumbledore was dressed up as table, and Hagrid as a giant Teddy Bear. The blond haired girl picked at the hem of her Radish costume and studied the cats on the punch table who she assumed to be Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Norris, and beside them was Draco and his date, Apple, who had simply a drawn on moustache. "Hey Luna, want something to drink?" a voice to her right said, and she turned. There stood her friend Harry, but he was wearing….Snape's robes? Luna shrugged and smiled, "Sure Harry!" she replied in her usual dreamy voice. As her friend walked away, Luna pulled a floating radish out of her costume and took a bite.
At about 11 O'clock, Lucius Malfoy entered the school with his...wife Narcissa. Albus Dumbledore greeted them at the door greeting them with a "I'm a table!" and nothing more. Lucius smiled a silly little smile as he anticipated the events that would unfold that night. As the pair entered the room, most of the chatter stopped as many pairs of eyes were turned to them. Lucius nodded, "Happy Hallowe'en everyone!" he exclaimed and was relieved to see all the onlookers turn away and start up their conversations again. Narcissa smiled at her friend Madame Pomfrey and stepped around the puddles of decorative slime on her way to the punch table. She joined her son and gave a quick smile to Apple before speaking, "Draco? Why aren't you with Harry?" she asked. Draco looked at his mother, his eyes in disbelief, "Mum, I'm not with Harry anymore! I've got Apple!" he exclaimed, picking Apple up and cuddling it. His mother sighed and walked away.
Hermione was busy stocking up the Butterbeer when the heavy door to the Great Hall opened with a clang. She glanced up quickly, spilling beverages all over her costume, which was book pages aligned neatly into a dress. However, her costume no longer mattered, as Lord Voldemort himself and Bellatrix Lestrange entered the Hall. The bushy-haired girl gasped in fright and spilled the rest of the Butterbeer on the floor. The Dark Lord seemed to emanate darkness and bad omens as his presence filled the room. Albus Dumbledore stepped forward, and set his drink down on his table costume. "Lord Voldemort, how did you get inside the boundaries?" Albus said in a loud whisper. Voldemort smiled a wide, sinister smile and replied, "I took the Hogwarts Express of course!" Albus looked taken aback, "What?" he asked. "I took the Hogwarts Express, you scumbag!"
All was silent in the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lord Voldemort raised his wand and pointed it at the disco ball situated in the middle of the ceiling.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
The spell ricocheted in all directions, spanning the entire hall. Green rays of light hit students, teachers and staff one by one till everyone lay crumpled in odd positions on the wooden floor.
The only survivors stood in the mess of bodies, Voldemort was smiling, Bellatrix laughing hysterically, and McGonagall in cat form along with Mrs. Norris were huddled in the corner. Bellatrix looked at Voldemort and smiled, pulling him into a side hug as they both laughed at the victory. Draco's lifeless hand slowly let go of Apple and it rolled off the table and into the corner.
Mrs. Norris jumped over the body of Luna Lovegood and sniffed the Apple that had just rolled over. After a few seconds of watching Bellatrix pull Lord Voldemort into a passionate kiss, both McGonagall and Mrs Norris turned back to Apple and took turns taking bites.
