Hallowe'en

Brittany got to the Great Hall just in time. There weren't many seats left at Gryffindor table, but she did get to sit next to Fred and Ginny.
"Hello Ginny. How do you like Hogwarts?"
Brittany asked.
"It's just great!"
Ginny said, but a little nervously.
"You know, I think it's a tad bit sad that Brittany isn't much taller than Ginny, yet she's a full year older."
Fred pointed out.
"Are you making fun if how vertically challenged I am?"
Brittany said with mock defiance.
"Yes. It would seem that way. How's the weather down there?"
Fred smiled and responded to Brittany carefully worded question.
"Oh it's normal. How's your weather? Or are you so tall that you're above the clouds and don't get any?"
Brittany's comeback made Lee go
"Ooooooh."
George laughed and said,
"Would you two stop flirting and watch the fireworks?"
Fred spun around and said,
"Well, it seems they are right on schedule."
George pretended to look at a watch.
"In five...."
Fred started.
"Four...."
George added.
"Three...."
Lee said with a flourish.
"Two..."
Brittany smiled only slightly evilly.
"One!"
The four said at the same time. Across the Great Hall, everything pumpkin related was blowing up at the Slytherin table in bright oranges and deep blacks. Occasionally a red one would pop up.
"And we added a special touch...."
Fred said and smiled. The whole Slytherin quidditch team screamed as fireworks blew up in their faces leaving a black spider pattern covering their skin.
"Wouldn't believe how long that took us."
"A bloody long time."
"For taking the quidditch field during our practice..."
Ginny and her friends gazed in awe.
"You helped them didn't you?"
Ginny asked.
"Yes I did."
Brittany smiled. Ginny mumbled something to her friends and rushed out of the Great Hall.
"Huh."
Brittany couldn't care less though. The feast was a whole lot more exciting now.
"How about next time we throw fanged frisbees down the hall. Or....I know. Prank mail the Slytherins."
Brittany said.
"What is prank mailing?"
Lee asked. Brittany explained the muggle version of prank calling and then explained how it could be used in the wizarding world. The feast ended shortly, and they all went out into the hall.
"See you later, I have to find Harry. Bye!"
Brittany called and ran off. As she turned the corner to a empty hall way, what she saw alarmed her.
