Theo sat on the edge of Vera's bed as she was getting ready for her classes. "Veve, what are you dressing as for the Halloween party?" He asked. The sixth years were always in charge of throwing the biggest ragers because they had the most free time, compared to the fifth and seventh years.

Vera swiped her eyeliner in her waterline expertly as she contemplated. "A fairy." She decided as she looked at him from the mirror with a small smile on her face. "But like... sexy, you know?"

Theodore raised his eyebrows as she went back to doing her makeup and fixing her jewelry. "It's supposed to be scary." He said, teasing, as he imagined the pink sparkly creature that they had researched in Care of Magical Creatures last year.

"Fine." Vera said, heading to her closet to pull out a practically miniature black lace dress. "A dark fairy. A fairy gone evil. I was looking for an excuse to wear this." She said, holding it over her body, which was currently donning her school uniform. "Ooh, I can transfigure some sparkly black wings and wear those platform boots."

Theo nodded, smirking at her as he got up. "And, what should I be?" Vera hung up the dark material back onto a hanger and into her closet as a set of strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind. She sighed, sinking into his touch.

"Something hot." Vera grinned, kissing his cheek. He huffed out a laugh as she checked the clock. "I've got to get to class." She said, using her hand to mess up his hair to perfection. His tousled curls were the color of cinnamon, beginning to curl behind his ears and past the nape of his neck. "There." Vera said, stepping back and admiring her work.

Theo crossed his arms against his chest, holding back a grin. "Seriously! What should I dress up as?" He asked her as she tucked her wand into her waistband and searched around her dorm for her bag.

She finally found it underneath her bed and flung it over her shoulder. "Surprise me." Vera smirked, kissing him quickly. "Bye, Teddy."

Theodore shook his head, trying to generate ideas. "Have a good day, baby." He called out as she smiled at him and shut the door. Theo lay flat on her bed, deciding to sleep for a bit longer. He had a free block for a reason, no?

After classes, Vera showered and put on her costume and makeup, ready for the party. The common room was already shaking slightly with people dancing and the loud music, which could only be heard in the heart of the Slytherin common room as to evade punishment for having a party.

She was fashionably late, as per usual, as she rushed out of her dorm. With the crowd of people, all dressed in extravagant costumes for halloween, and all with a drink in hand, she had trouble finding her friends. Vera scanned the faces in the room, attempting to find her boyfriend. Suddenly, her eyes landed on him and she had to hold back a gasp at his costume.
