Hallowe'en!

[serinusniger]

Congratulations! You've made it halfway through the winter term, and someone is determined that you will enjoy this evening. The smells of the feast started permeating the classrooms about mid afternoon, and by the time classes are let out for the day, the corridor are resplendant in pumpkins and candles.

The Great Hall, is the focus of the celebrations, with animated carved pumpkins on every table, more candles than there've been since the Sorting Ceremony and everyone somehow finding that they do in fact have better robes than the ones they usually wear.

It's the Annual Hogwarts Hallowe'en feast: Tuck in!

[OOC: Party thread! Tag into your table, tag another location. Thread hop. Come back here weeks later for more threads. Meet people you haven't threaded with before. Party!

"I'm going to the White Lotus with Barbara next Hogsmeade weekend,"

It's not exactly a date but it's something.

[serinusniger]

Dinah blinks at him.

Then grins, and pumps a fist at her side.

"Well, that solves the problem of getting her someone, too."

[will_scarlett]

"It's not a date. We're just going to see if The White Lotus has coffee,"

He blushes and grabs a pumpkin pasty to try and hide it, he likes Babs a lot and doesn't want to mess things up.

"OK," Dinah concedes, "but if it turns into something, I get to say 'I told you so'."

[will_scarlett]

"You do but I don't want to jinx anything."

[serinusniger]

"Then fine," Dinah says, throwing her hands up. "No jinxing."

Beat.

"Though if I wanted to jinx it, I'd do it properly."

She is a witch, after all.

[will_scarlett]

"I know you could, but I really want it to work out. She's just Babs,"

Who he's liked since she came to Hogwarts but hasn't wanted to wreck their friendship and this might be the start of something and he frets.

Dinah grabs his shoulder and pulls him bodily into a hug. "Hey. I love you, Will. If I thought there was a chance of this not going well I wouldn't let you do it."

It's her job to look after him.

[will_scarlett]

He laughs and hugs her back, "Thanks."
