As Halloween approached, Hogwarts transformed into a vibrant spectacle of autumn colors. Banners of orange and black hung from the enchanted ceilings, and pumpkins carved with grinning faces lit the corridors with a warm, flickering glow. You, Draco, Theodore, Blaise, and Mattheo decided to embrace the spirit of the season with a night of trick-or-treating around the castle.

After a hearty dinner in the Great Hall, where the tables had been pushed aside for dancing, you gathered at the entrance. The hall buzzed with laughter, music, and colorful costumes. Draco, clad in a sharp vampire outfit, flashed you a confident grin. “Ready to collect some sweets?”

Theodore, dressed as a classic wizard, adjusted his cloak with a smirk. “As long as we avoid the first years, I’m game.”

Blaise, sporting a suave pirate ensemble, rolled his eyes playfully. “What’s Halloween without a little candy? Let’s go”

Mattheo, dressed as a mysterious sorcerer, leaned casually against the wall, his dark attire adding to his enigmatic charm. “Let’s make this interesting. How about a little competition? Whoever gets the most treats wins.”
