Heirs to Something Greater (d.m)

13: Halloween

A/N: Hello Lovelies! This was a totally original idea by G and I and I'm stoked to show y'all something new! Enjoy and get ready to have your mind blown :)

Time went by quickly when nothing was happening, pretty soon it was already a day before Halloween. Classes had picked up and we didn't have as much free time as at the beginning of the year, but I didn't mind.

I was excited to see what Hogwart students did for Halloween, I attended an Ilvermorny Halloween party once... Well, I almost attended a Halloween party. It's a long story, but let's just say it didn't go smoothly. Adeline had been trying to come up with some sort of idea for the past week on how to lighten things up, from the normal.

"Juliet that's it!" Adeline shook my arm and I jumped slightly. I was almost asleep while we were getting prepared for some wacky test in Defense Against The Dark Arts, I was tired because Lottie's cat was mewling the whole night... and the library's lighting was like a warm embrace.

"What's it?" I slowly brought my head up from the table, letting out a yawn. My eyelids fluttered halfway across my eyes, too lazy to bring them all the way up.

"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!" Adeline smiled with pride at her new idea.

I thought about it for a minute and sat up at the idea. Junk food from the kitchens, music, photos, pranks, laughing, games, and late-night partying with all my friends? Count me in!

"Wait that's amazing! But what if we get in trouble for being out late at night?"

"Uhm... we hope no one gives us detention?" Adeline suggested and I scoffed lightly.

"Yeah sure, a great plan," I rolled my eyes in sarcasm.

"The library is closing for the night. Go back to your dorms," I heard the librarian remind us gruffly before moving to the next group of students.

We grabbed our things and started walking out of the library.

"I say we take that risk. It would be fun!" Adeline held the door open for me as the large room dimmed into darkness. I could never say no to a gathering... A month's detention would be worth it.

"Okay. Yeah, I'm in," I smiled and nodded my head at her.

"Awesome," Addy's face lit up, "I'll talk to the twins tonight."

We broke off, saying our goodnights before heading to our own common rooms. My head thought about all the games we could play... there were many magical board games, spin the bottle, truth or dare, and so many more! Although most of those were a bit childish, it was Halloween... who cared if we played a few silly children's games.

I waited in excitement for the party to come. I knew Lottie was absolutely planning on going, although Maryann had different plans... for what I'm not too sure, she blushed when we asked why she had to decline.

Soon we were in potions for the day. Draco hadn't spoken much whenever we had to work on something together, and not too much happened since the incident in the quidditch pitch. Besides the constant insults, me having to practically drag Adeline away from punching him... twice, and normal Draco nonsense.

"Are you doing anything for Halloween?" I attempted to lift the awkward silence that coated the workspace.

"Of course I am but I don't think that's any of your business. Can you not ruin this potion, we're already halfway done," Draco rolled his eyes at my "incompetence."
