SUPERNATURAL

[Just something fun 😉😉There are some easter eggs in there.If you find them tell them in the comments.]

It had been a few weeks and it was Halloween night.There was a buzz around the school as it was announced that this year,it would be a costume party.There was a great big cheer when Dumbledore announced that it was his way of apologising for subjecting his students to the absolute torment that was Dolores Umbridge.Hermione was the last to stop laughing,and that too not without difficulty,when she looked at Snape glowering down at Dumbledore at the staff table,concerned whether the old man had finally lost his sanity.................................................
"Do whatever you will,Hermione,but I'm not wearing my underwear outside my costume!"Snape said firmly,as Hermione fiddled with his batman costume.She had this brilliant idea that it would be the most ironically accurate thing to do;the 'dungeon bat' turned to the caped crusader.However,Snape obviously failed to see the humour behind it."Stop behaving like a crabby little baby!"Hermione scolded and tapped his costume with her wand to make it full black like the costume of batman in the new Batman movies,where there is no visible underwear outside,so that he couldn't complain anymore.He looked at himself in the mirror,thinking about what he had gotten himself into."I don't know which clothead's idea this was..."he grumbled adjusting his utility belt."That'd be me."Hermione called from the other room."Of course."he thought out loud.He turned around to see Hermione at the doorway and his mouth dropped open.She was dressed as Catwoman,her sleek black leather costume was hugging her body,flattering her curves and the mask on her face and blood-red pouts added to the mysteriousness."What do you think?"she asked,smiling crookedly.He was lost for words but then smirked,"Femme fatale."Hermione went on full catwoman mode,"You're catnip to a girl like me. Handsome, dazed, and to die for."Snape got the reference and asked,"Who are you and what have you done to the innocent little flower that was Hermione Granger?All cheesiness,looking for the perfect kiss under the mistletoe-although,"he was willing to play along and said,"Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it."
"But a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it."Hermione finished and they latched their mouths together............................................
They went down to the Great Hall together,they kept their distance but did not stray too far.The corridors were littered with jack-o-lanterns,black cats,fake spiders and bats,and they were greeted at the entrance to the hall by a headless head-hunter garbed in black.Hermione took some time in finding her friends as everyone was dressed in different costumes.She ran and hugged Ginny,who came as Black Widow."And what are you supposed to be?"she said turning to Harry, who came in a straitjacket."I'm Harry Houdini.Get it?""Yippe ka yea,motherfuckers!"They turned around to see Ron,dressed in a cool dinner jacket,sporting his ginger hair proudly to his advantage now as he was apparently Archie,with two girls on both his sides,who were respectively Betty and Veronica.He winked at them as he passed and guffawed loudly when he spotted Snape in his bat costume.Snape rolled his eyes and turned to Hermione who smiled apologetically."Ahoy matey!"Dean greeted them in a pirate's costume,"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.Savvy?"Seamus joined the group,his face fallen,"People are saying I look like Peter Pan!I'm Robin Hood for God's sake!""You do look like Peter Pan."they giggled.The house tables had been moved and there was arrangements for a buffet table on either side.They found Luna hanging around there."Did you slip and fall on your makeup Looney?catcalled some Slytherins.Hermione glared at them and told Luna,"You are Harley Quin right?Why don't you go all villainous on their asses?What else is the baseball bat for then?"Luna shook her head,"I don't like the ambiance.Something wrong is going to happen."They chose to ignore her,as it was Luna's usual weird talk and turned towards a loud bang at the door where a cloud of smoke went off and entered two men in black tuxedos and bowler hats and doing a jig,swinging their canes."Hello!I'm Thompson""And Thomson.""Fred!George!"They shouted and ran towards them.They brought the party with them and immediately after their arrival,the music started playing and everyone started dancing and having a good time.Professor Flitwick was being carried over the heads of the students as he had dressed as an adorable elf.Dumbledore,dressed as Gandalf and McGonagall,not breaking stereotype,as the White Witch,seated themselves on the podium and beamed down at the rest of them.Hermione passed her eyes across the hall and saw a big burly senior boy holding up Colin Creevey by the collar of his costume.She quickly came to his rescue,demanding the boy to let him go."Go and hide behind mommy,you little dwarf!"he sneered before going away and Hermione shouted after him,"He is a Hobbit!""Thanks Hermione."Colin said,looking relieved."Anytime.I got your back."Hermione slapped his back."Live long and prosper."Neville announced and Hermione saw he was Dr.Lazarus."But that's Spock's dialogue."Hermione pointed out.Neville shrugged and said,"Ok then.By Grabthar's hammer,you shall be avenged!""Nerd alert!"a few Slytherins passed a comment."Don't listen to them Neville,I think its cute."Hermione encouraged and he blushed.Unbeknownst to them Snape had furtively come closer and Neville ran away,intimidated ,if possible more by the batman costume."You find Mr.Longbottom 'cute'?How very 'catty' of you."he said sarcastically.They had their backs to the crowd,pretending to think about what to eat from the table,so no one could see them talking to each other and Snape passed her a glass of thick red coloured drink."Do I smell something burning?"she asked looking sideways at him and then added,"Well,it may interest you in knowing that Batman has always been my favourite superhero and I find him very intelligent,robust,a suave and dapper gentleman,absolutely spiffing in every way and a total enigma-quite like the person wearing his costume tonight."Snape smiled widely and she took a sip of her drink."It's a bloody mary."he said when she smacked her lips.Slughorn,who was dressed as Willy Wonka,chose that moment to rain chocolates and toffees over the crowd and one Edward Scissorhands guy stumbled onto Hermione,scurrying to catch them and as a result spilled her drink over her costume."Get outta here."Snape shoved the guy aside while Hermione tried to wipe the liquid off."I'll just nip to the loo.""I'll go-"he offered but Hermione declined,saying it would look suspicious."I'll take Ginny."She flitted through the crowd to look for Ginny but she found her at a corner engaged in a teasing-kiss with Harry whose hands were restrained in his straitjacket.So she decided to go on alone and came out into the corridor.On one end of the corridor,Filch was making a horrendous groaning sound,acting as a zombie whose throat was cut open and terrifying some first-years and unleashing his cat,who he had given extra sharp teeth and claws and a witch's hat and spectacles."I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!"laughed Filch as he went after them so Hermione turned the other way towards the toilets.She pushed the door open to find Draco Malfoy and Katie Bell kissing each other violently.She was repulsed enough to leave but Draco left instead,his Count Dracula robes bellowing behind him.Hermione made a face and started applying water from the sink on the part of her costume where the drink had spattered.Katie and Draco?Oh poor little Pansy,she would've been so heartbroken if she saw that.Draco consorting with a Griffindor?More to the point,what was Katie thinking?She looked up at the mirror to check out Katie in the reflection.But she didn't seem to be thinking at all.She had this dazed expression and her lipstick and hair had gone astray from the wildness of the kiss.She looked at something in her hand and then purposefully dashed out of the toilet;only then did Hermione notice that it was some kind of a package and she followed her out...............................................
"Stop stepping on my effing cape!"Snape growled at a group dressed as Ghosbusters."Why so cranky,Severus?Your 'Cat'woman has not been gone five seconds."McGonagall teased,poking him with her sceptre.Snape rolled his eyes exaggeratingly at her and told her Hermione was just at the lavatory."Why don't you go after her and take advantage of the opportunity?"McGonagall asked,slyly."She has taken Ms.Weasley with her."he told her,unable to believe that Minerva would suggest something like that."Oh I don't think so."she said and pointed to where Ginny and Harry were making out."I think Harry Houdini is learning some new tricks."Snape furrowed his eyebrows.If she didn't take her,then she must've gone alone.He made his way to the door of the hall,ducking out of the way of a guy posing as Sweeney Todd,armed with a razor and asking him,"Fancy a shave?" and he came out into the corridor."What are you hiding there Katie?"Hermione was asking Katie as they were approaching the Great Hall."It's mine.I have to give it to someone-"Katie said,clutching the package closer to her chest.But Hermione insisted on seeing what it was and tugged at it;she refused and pulled back and in the midst of the scuffle the packet ripped open and something that was inside, came into contact with Katie's skin and she immediately flew into the air.Snape looked astounded at the floating student as she let out a blood-curdling scream,as if in great pain.Hermione looked up at her horrified,from her place on the floor,where she had jerked and fallen after the packet ripped.Katie then fell down and lay unmoving."I...d-didn't do anything,I swear."Hermione stuttered.The people inside the hall stuck their heads out upon hearing the noise and gasped at the still figure of Katie on the floor and Hermione right next to her,looking contrite.
