Heirs to Something Greater

13; Halloween Night

Over a month had passed since Juliet and I had started attending Hogwarts, and it was going great. I had already made more friends then I had ever had at Ilvermorny, and I was doing great in my classes too with the help of Hermione and Easton occasionally.

Everyone had been talking about Halloween and how the great hall would be decorated with these huge pumpkins that the gamekeeper, Hagrid, grew.

I had thought about other things we could do to add a bit more excitement to the night. Back at Ilvermorny, a few students would throw a party in the dorms but it almost always got shut down. And I never really cared for parties.

"Juliet that's it!" I shook her arm at the table we shared in the library. We were studying for our defense against the dark arts class before the library closed for the night. Juliet occasionally dozing off and me frequently losing track of my reading.

"What's it?" She lifted her head off of her hands to look at me with a groggy expression.

"After the Halloween feast tomorrow, we get the twins to pass out some invitations for a small party sorta thing but we just play a few games and then late at night we play hide and seek in the school!" My voice was laced with excitement and Juliet sat up straight thinking through the idea.

"Wait that's amazing!" She was nodding her head as she still seemed to think everything through. "But what if we get in trouble for being out late at night?"

"Uhm... we hope no one gives us detention?" I smiled stupidly. There was a small chance we wouldn't get caught, but it was worth that chance.

"Yeah sure, great plan." Jules changed her excited voice to sarcastic.

"The library is closing for the night. Go back to your dorms." I turned around to see the librarian standing behind us. I nodded and stood up with Juliet while putting my books into my arms to carry back to my room.

"I say we take that risk. It would be fun!" I opened the door for her as the lights shut off inside the big room.

"Okay yeah I'm in." She finally agreed after a few minutes of debating it.

"Awesome, I'll talk to the twins tonight."

We broke off down the hall to go our separate ways to our common rooms. The common room was pretty empty and the redheads were nowhere in view. I walked up to my dorm and put my books on my desk, then changed into my pajamas: a long sleeve shirt with shorts.

Ginny was doing homework at her desk, but Hermione wasn't in the dorm. I left the room and walked towards the boys dormitories. I knocked once on Fred and George's door before turning the handle and pushing it open and walking in.

"What if I was in the middle of changing?" Fred asked as I barged in and flopped onto George's bed. They were both on their own beds with papers spread out and books in different places, clearly doing school work.

"I'd close my eyes then." I arched my back to pull a paper out that I had laid on and slightly crumpled. George glared at me in frustration for crushing his homework. "My bad." I muttered, setting the paper in his lap and staring at the ceiling for a moment before sitting up to tell them the idea.

"I'll do it but I'm not writing the invitations." George spoke up next to me.

I looked over at Fred and he nodded his head. "Of course I'm in. But I agree with George."

"I'll make them. Actually give me a second. I'll be right back." I shot up from the bed and ran back to my dorm to grab a stack of paper and my wand. I pulled out my quill and raised my wand. The quill dipped into a jar of ink before floating down to the paper to begin writing. I imagined the words I wanted written down, and then they were on the page.
