Once a Death Eater...

Chapter 21 - Halloween Part 2

It was Halloween day. The castle was fully decorated with all manner of spooky ornaments. The Great Hall was full of pumpkins and cobwebs, the long tables replaced with smaller, circular tables so that a dance floor could be placed in the front of the hall. A live band were setting up as well as a buffet being placed out towards the far side of the wall.

The students had been buzzing around the castle all day. The only topic of conversation being what people are wearing to the Halloween ball. Who they're going with to the Halloween ball. Whether they're gonna shag at the Halloween ball.

For Draco, he couldn't wait until the evening when the party started. He had his costume all prepared and was practically bouncing off the walls with anticipation. Harry had gone to fix up his own costume, they had decided that they wouldn't show one another their costumes until the night. It made it more fun that way. They had planned to meet outside the Great Hall at the start of the ball, so they could walk in together.

Draco paced the dorm, practically burning a path into the floor. He was waiting for Pansy who said she'll give him a hand perfecting any last minute features.

The sun was hanging low in the air, only a few more hours until the party starts and he can see Harry. Hopefully, Harry was able to produce a pretty good costume considering he had a day. Draco would hate to have to dump Harry for embarrassing him with a bad outfit.

As Draco was thinking, a knock came from the door. He swung the door open revealing Pansy. She was already dressed in her costume. It was a leopard print dress with her face painted to resemble a leopard, she even had fake, sparkly blood around her mouth. Everything was leopard, that was, if the leopard was sexy and provocative and Draco was sure if he wasn't absolutely gay, he'd be hard in his robes.

"Wow. You look amazing." Draco started, staring at Pansy's costume. Her hair had streaks of leopard print in it and was done up so well. "I'm no furry, or straight, but I'd defo finger you." Draco laughed, Pansy laughing too rolling her eyes.

"We both know you hate pussy. Animal and vag." She laughed harder. Draco was nearly in tears, having to wave at her signalling her to stop joking. They eventually settled down as Draco really did need help with his costume.

"Okay then lover boy, what do you need help with?" Pansy said, still chuckling slightly as she began to move around the space to look through the dorm. She was a examining the nick nacks in their room.

"With this." Draco said, dramatically revealing his costume for the night.

"That?" Pansy deadpanned, "the way you were boasting, I thought it'd be more impressive." She said confused.

Draco had pulled back the sheet to uncover a Gryffindor Quidditch kit.

"Ah my dear Pansy, not just the Quidditch gear. With these too!" Draco pulled out a black wig, circular glasses and a stick on scar. Pansy laughed realising what Draco's costume was.

"You're going as Harry! That's as funny as it is cute!" She squealed, rushing forward to examine the costume.

"Pretty genius right!" Draco boasted, sitting on a stool looking at the wig closely. "Basically I need help with getting the wig to stay on and shaping to look like Harry's hair." He began to explain. The costume was genius.

"Yeah no problem! I'm great with hair." Pansy quickly got to work, sliding the wig over Draco's silver-blonde and fastening it on so it wouldn't slip. She then elegantly cut the hair, taking off chunks and styling so that it was almost a perfect match to Harry's. It was uncanny. They worked while laughing and joking, discussing what Harry's reaction will be when he sees the costume. They decided it would be that of shock and slight sexual confusion, Draco pointing out that no one can resist Harry's handsome face, not even himself.
