Harry Potter and the Masked Professor

Chapter 7: 🎃 Halloween part 1 🎃

A month had passed and many things had taken place since Raven and the twins dabble in pranks

Notably, Harry had gotten on the Gryffindor Quidditch team the first-ever first year to do so Raven remembers encountering him and the happiness radiating off the boy made them happy for him

Just like his parents would be

Then there was the lessons the new years had finally gotten into a routine with their new education and had also gained a firm knowledge of the castle making them less likely to be late

Amusingly for Raven said first year's already had strong opinions for their teachers the most notable, Severus

The potions master had governed an agreed dislike across Gryffindor to Ravenclaw the only house that tolerated him was his own house but he did favour them so that was understandable

And did Raven mention the rumours about him? No? those were something they chuckled secretly and openly about

What Amused Raven fully though was the student's list of "top teachers" going as Such

1: McGonagall and Plague

2: Flitwick

3: Sprout

4: Quirrell

5: Binns

6: Snape

They were sure the list would become longer as they went up a year and gained more subjects but it caused the amusement they had

Why? Simple apart from cleaning up the prank a month ago Raven had yet to substitute a lesson instead they've strolled through the castle running little errands and whatnot whilst also the occasional checkup of the security of the castle and its protective charms

But today was Halloween and was if not one of the masked professors favourite holidays followed by Christmas solely on the festivities

'I wonder if they still do that chocolate cake that looks like a pumpkin I hope so it was a delight'

Walking through the corridors Raven stops at a display case and trails their fingers across the glass stopping at a name

'He's just like you I simply hope that his fate won't be similar' Raven then looks over to another name which someone had attempted to scratch away

'And ill find him mark my words there my friend' reaching into their pockets they check for something before nodding to themselves and continuing their stroll

Walking outside Raven takes in the Calm chilly weather and continues to aimlessly walk around stopping as they watch a bludger get sent flying by Harry

"Not bad Potter you'd make a fair beater" the bludger reappears and rapidly reaches the two but just before it can hit Raven stops it not even flinching as they hold it one-handed

"That he would Mr Wood" Raven places the Bludger back in the chest securing it then placing their attention back to Harry and Wood who are starting at them both gobsmacked and surprised at their sudden appearance

"Well don't mind me continue telling Harry here what that was" nodding slowly Woods turns to Harry

"That was a Bludger they're nasty little buggers but you are a seeker" Woods opens a small compartment in the chest bringing out a small golden ball

"The only thing I want you to worry about is this the golden snitch" giving to Harry the boy admires the snitch

"I like this ball" his words cause a chuckle from Wood making the Young Potter confused slightly
