"Kaelyn, you look stunning," Eva gasps as her eyes fly up and down her best friend's figure.
"Have you seen yourself? The costume idea was brilliant," she gushed back at her.
It is true, their matching costumes will surely stand out next to the student body.
Kaelyn wears a mustard yellow shirt with bell sleeves and earrings in the shape of the morning sun. A tight metallic yellow skirt hugs around her thin figure, held by a heavenly silver belt. She wears chunky black shoes that appear to heavily weigh down her feet. She is letting her blond hair tickle her collarbones with two small braids twisted on either end of her smooth ivory face.
Eva, on the other hand, sported a dress the deep color of oxford blue. The attire is dazzled with silver jewels that represent stars. It has long mesh sleeves which she had paired with matching mesh pants; both with celestial patterns embroidered on them. She wears a silver belt like Kaelyns as well as high black boots.
Together, their cosmic outfits make the sun and the moon.
Gazing into the mirror, Eva beams at their reflections. Though her dark palette slightly washes out her pale complexion, it brings out her "stunning eyes," according to Kaelyn, that she always tries to hide. For Kaelyn, the bright yellows bring out the pink undertone of her skin.
Eva loves Halloween; well she loves every holiday and any reason to celebrate.
She gets an excuse to read scary stories in her pajamas all morning and practice making wounds with her muggle special effects kit. Sometimes Eva and her dorm-mates put on a little skit or paint each other's faces for the mere joy of it.
Kaelyn had wrapped their dormitory door in orange lights that look like miniature pumpkins. At their feet lay four jack-o-lanterns aglow - carved by Eva, Kaelyn, and their other roommates - and flickering into the amiable ambiance of the Ravenclaw common room.
It is cold, even for the end of October, as if all the heat has been drained away into the earth. Thinking nothing of it and chattering excitedly, Kaelyn and Eva trekked to the Great Hall.
The wizards and witches of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are happily anticipating the annual Halloween feast.
The Great Hall had been adorned with the usual live bats, Hagrid's vast pumpkins had been carved into lanterns large enough for three men to sit in, and there were rumors that Albus Dumbledore had prearranged a troupe of ghosts to do formation gliding at the closure of the feast.
