Costume - Shoes - Treat Bag

October 30^th, 2020

It was quite a flight. From where the Muggle Studies classroom located to the highest tower of the castle. When Cash climbed up to the Astronomy Tower, they like the eerie ambience the tower provided. Floating candles, lights that flickered, thin cobwebs up to the thin smoke decorate the step.

Upon Cash landed their feet on the last landing of the steps, Cash definitely out of breath. It did not matter how many time the second year had been gone to the tower, each and every time going to the tower will be a heck of endurance training for their stamina.

The green eyes then averted their eyes to Starlee and look at the dress the blonde girl wear. "You alright there?"Cash inquired. Star's dress will troubles her but as long as the other girl did not bother by it, Cash is sure Starlee will be fine with her dress.

The string from the red ballon that previously held by the second year, now is tied to the handle of their treat bag. Finally the door of Astronomy tower can be seen. Upon the door there a sign that said 'Please take one' in metallic blue ink. Cash smirk at that.

It seems the professor know some of the student will try to get more than one candy than the student should have. Then Cash spied a brass orrery with ornate feet and metal workings. Upon closer inspection, they see a various of jawbreakers and lollipops in the shape of planets.

Cash look at the huge ball thing and look at the blonde girl. Cash never seen sweet that big, courtesy of how much a Pureblood they are. Perhaps Starlee could explain it to them. It will sure if Cash tried to eat that, they end up choking. "What is that?"Cash pointed out to one of the jawbreakers in the shape of Saturn.

The sweet is huge and Cash wonder how people could eat that thing. "If I eat that thing whole, do I end up chocking?"Cash still can not believe there's a candy that huge existed. While waiting for Starlee's explanation to what kind of sweet is that, Cash then look at other jawbreakers and lollipops that the student can take.

"I can not choose one"Cash said to themselves but loud enough for Starlee to hear it. "They all are so pretty"The green eyes stated. Cash really do want to take all the lollipops in the shape of planets with how pretty they are.

But then Cash know if they took it all, there will be a consequences to pay and Cash did not want that. Upon some deliberation, the green eyes finally put their mind to what candy they will took from the brass orrery. Cash picked up the Earth lollipops. They did not have the heart to eat such a nice candy.

The Earth lollipop designed just like the real Earth suppose to be like. Cash then put the lollipop into their black treat bag. The second year then smile so wide. They are happy that the staff of the school made this event. Cash could not remember when was the last time they celebrate Halloween.

Cash waited for Starlee to pick and grab her choices of candy. The purple hair rocked back and forth on their feet. A rare habit they displayed, since their father dislike when Cash do that. "So,"Cash feel a bit awkward. "Do you celebrate Halloween often before come here?"Cash questioned Starlee.

They wait for Starlee to answer it. After a minute or two, Cash decided to speak up again. "Do you want to check other locations or just go straight to the movie party?"Asked the green eyes.

"I barely ever run out of energy when it comes to astronomy." she awkwardly smiled as Mac caught their breathe. She hadn't meant to make them run but just the idea of going to the astronomy town made her extremely excited. "As for gigantic floating balloons, I already know how those work. It's simple science. I'm more interested in rockets and satellites." She pointed up, as in to the sky, as she said this. She wasn't sure if the everyone at Hogwarts new what rockets, satellites, and other types of space aimed technology was but she tended to talk about them like they already did, a habit of getting ahead of herself, which was something she was working.
"Is there anything you like about astronomy?" She asked hoping that she could find another space fanatic that was as big as her. She couldn't only talk about it with her Dad and Grandfathers for the rest of her life. Her younger sister, Dorothy, wasn't very interested in space but was very interested in human anatomy, much like their Mother. Johana, her second and youngest sibling, still had hope though! If she and her Dad caught her at a good moment they could get her into the all things space related. Though that was a very slim chance sine she was a grandmas girl and would most likely end up inheriting their tea addiction.

[font=PT Sans]While he listened to her explain her enthusiasm, he decided on taking a nice planet lollipop and glanced back to the sign emphasizing on them taking only one candy- expecting the sign to give him a big thumbs up. “ Wow. Didn’t peg you for the type to like that stuff “ he admits. “ But I guess that does explain your enthusiasm “. He wondered how it might’ve felt for her to have a passion like that. He was just here living his life but to smile so brightly at the mention of a certain topic, he couldn’t relate to her that much yet. When he saw how her face brightened up at the mention of astronomy, he couldn’t hold back the guilty smile when she asked about his opinions. At least, that’s an improvement, right? A good thing that he felt kinda bad he couldn’t share the same enthusiasm?

“ I don’t think I can give you the answer you hoped for. “ he said, rather gently - a big difference from his usual tone that even he was surprised at how it sounded. “ I’m..more of an earth guy, actually. Plants, flowers, trees, that stuff calms me down haha. My name literally means-” like someone had struck him with lighting, his short-lived calm demeanor became frantic and nervous. He was so calm that he almost forgot he was under-cover and is currently deceiving his Halloween partner with a false identity. “ eeaannsss..Peperoni!. Sooooo… uh.. As you can see my family had high hopes that I’d be as passionate as them about the art of pizza making. Can’t really go around telling people I like gardening. Can it be our little secret?~” he placed a hushing hand gesture over where his mouth is supposed to be. He was desperately riding on the poor girl’s obliviousness and naivety because that was the silliest lie he ever had to say.

“ Stuff about space, rockets, and satellites was never something I explored before so I can’t say talking or learning about them make me yawn. They just seem something so...big and vast that I don’t know where to start so I ..never did? “ He glazed around the room, once again disappointed at Percival’s absence. While that fact that damned his mood, there was another that felt like it managed to lift him up just slightly. He realized this might’ve been the first time he casually talked about his hobby. And he actually listened to Adlai blabbering about her interest?!? He was led to believe his brain just filters out stuff that wasn’t about him but then what was that? Was there something about his Halloween partner that got him to say that? He didn’t see her as anything special but what else could explain what he did. Puzzled and interested in more answers, he couldn’t stop himself from asking the girl:

“ Maybe...I can hear about them from you? You seem to know more than a thing or two about them?“

He was deeply interested for a few seconds. Eyes covered by a full face mask couldn’t hide his eagerness for approval to his request, which was basically asking her ‘ hey, let’s hang out another time after this ‘. But then he realized that was the complete opposite of what he planned to do with her and internally panicked. He’s been doing that a lot tonight. “ I - er.. I mean. MOVIE! We have that movie, right? Okay, let’s go better not be late or- whatever “ . Red faced covered by his mask, he hastily grabbed her hand without a 2nd thought and continued to blabber on how it was important not to miss movies or the dangerous benefits of missing even a single scene. As if he actually cared. He just wanted a distraction from his multiple slip-ups tonight.

STEALING CANDY

Halloween! God, Piérre loved Halloween! It was his favorite time of year, mostly because he was allowed to dress up as anything, as crazy as another monster or as simple as just another person. This year, Piérre had opted to dress as a villain, one of his favorite bad guys in Nintendo’s history. One Mister L. In fact, the costume was the one that Piérre had worn to the Masquerade ball that year.

Of course, on a night of back cats and superstition, Piérre just had to bring along his favorite little kitty: Figaro. Figaro himself was not dressed up... but Piérre was working on it. Mark his words, Piérre would ensure that Figaro would be as comfortable in his costume as he was normally.

Piérre’s plan looked something like this; going after every single location until he had visited them all, raided the candy and the snacks, whatever they had to offer, cause some chaos, eat some candy, and then sleep in a sugar-induced coma for the next day. Halloween only came once per year, after all, and soon, Piérre would be too old for these events. Though he was sad that the day would eventually come, Piérre vowed that he would still be a part of it, even if it was only in the form of dressing up and handing candy out when he was an adult.

Okay, so Astronomy first, eh? Let's see what they're offering... Outside of the office and classroom itself, there was a candy trove already being raided by other people. Nobody would miss a boy and his cat passing by, dipping their hands in the bowl, and then sneaking off before they were noticed. With a grin, and a little wiggling of his fingers, Piérre snatched a large Jupiter lollipop from the bowl with reckless abandon, accidentally spilling some of the candy on the ground. Tucking his treasure into his Jack-O-Lantern bucket, Piérre offered a salute, tipping his green and black hat, and then whispered a tiny; "Ciao." And then took to his heels, the Green Thunder now the scourge of Hogwarts' candy-coated walls.

Starlee couldn't wait to get to their next location. Cash had suggested the Astronomy tower, and while Starlee may not have been so fond of Astronomy, she would trail Cash just about anywhere they went, like a little puppy.

They approached the bottom of the astronomy tower stairs, which appeared to be very decorated. There were small floating candles around, guiding students upward. There was smoke rolling down each step, as well as cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. It was honestly a bit spooky... plus Starlee really couldn't stand spiders... Cash seemed not to care, and headed right on up the stairs. Starlee debated for a moment on whether or not to follow due to the possibility of spiders, but not wanting to be alone pushed her up after Cash, following as quickly as she could. They reached the top of the tower, both very out of breath, and Starlee really wished she hadn't worn heels. Granted, they were small kitten heels, but heels were heels, and her little feet were hurting.

"You alright there?" Cash asked, probably knowing that Starlee was struggling a little. "Yea... just these heels were the wrong shoes to march all over the castle in..." she shrugged a little awkwardly and huffed a little from being so out of breath. She wished she had worn something perhaps a bit more practical, but oh well.

They finally make it to the door of the astronomy tower, where a sign that says 'Please take one.' can be seen. Starlee sees no bowl full of candies, just an orrery on the table. She watched as Cash peered in to get a better look at it, and Starlee realized that they were probably candies... cute little planet shaped jawbreakers! Cash still looked a little confused about it, and asked "What is that? If I eat that thing whole, do I end up choking?" Starlee peered at them some more and took the bright red Mars candy off its spot on the orrery. She holds it up for both of them to look at clearly and says "It's a jawbreaker! A sweet that you suck on and it slowly dissolves in your mouth! Although yea... it can be a bit of a choking hazard..." She says as she puts it in her bag. "Ya just gotta be careful, like with other hard candies!"

Starlee then takes some time to contemplate rather hard if she wants another one, they just look so delectable, but she decides against it. She was a bit of a rule follower and she wasn't about to break that here.

"So, Do you celebrate Halloween often before come here?" Starlee smiled and said, "Oh yea! My mum's a muggle, so she would always have us do stuff like that. My family loves dressing up for things! She can sew too, she actually sewed this dress for me!" She did a little twirl to show it off more. She was super proud of her mom and Starlee really looked up to her.

"Do you want to check other locations or just go straight to the movie party?" Starlee pondered this. Her feet did hurt, so she decided it best to end it here. "Eh, let's just head to the party!" Starlee said.

Having agreed to hang out this Hallows eve with the pair of Huffles along with one of his great friends Eyre, they made their way over towards the Astronomy tower where the others were excited to go and check out. This was just fine for Zyk, he wasn't much interested in the subject at all, but, enjoyed having a group to spend the holiday with. As he walked and chatted with his fellow second-years as they approached the area, the smoke seemed to start to form around his legs and he looked down and smirked slightly, "Wicked'," he commented. Those golden hues shifted up to see the arrangement on display before them and he nodded his approval of the rotating planets that were there.

"Not bad," he mentioned, for once not totally unimpressed with the subject.

Shifting his eyes over towards Lydia for a moment, "You know," he smirked, "I didn't think someone could be pretty with all that makeup on," he shifted his gaze back towards the rotating planets and settling his orbs on the one that was a replica of the Earth, "Was' wrong tho'," he offered as he walked away and over towards where the candy Earth was stationed upon the orrery. A hand reached out and plucked up the Earth Lolipop and slipped it into his satchel. The thing would probably get covered in wood shavings from where his carving blocks were normally stored, but, he figured he could clean it off later if he actually decided to eat a sweet for once.

After he was finished gathering his treat from the area, the muggle-nerd dressed Zykeal decided to shift to stand next to the wall as he waited for the group to select their treat. Honestly, he wasn't in this for the candy, he actually wasn't a fan of sweets in general, but, it was fun to dress up and have fun with students that he enjoyed being around. The young Gryffindor watched Aaron for a bit, the boy seemed extremely at home in his costume and the current display that the Astronomy area held and he couldn't help but offer a slight smile to him, "Bro, you look seriously like you could float right now," and his hand shifted to twitch his fingers upon the ivory-white wand that was stationed at his side, "Want me to make you float like you were in space?" he joked.

When they were all set, maybe Eyre was there too, hopefully, he'd walk over and nudge his friend and continue with the others towards their next destination, "Hope you guys know where we're going, I haven't a clue." he said, a smile upon his face as walked out of the area with the group and continued on.

Once they had all agreed to spend the rest of the night together, Lydia and the group had decided to head over to the Astronomy tower; her and Aaron had already decided to head over there when they had walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, and she was extremely happy that Zyk and Eyre were alright with the decision.

As she was walking up the stair, Lydia definitely felt immersed in the Halloween spirit; the cobwebs and the candles definitely set the mood, and the smoke was the perfect touch to make everything more mysterious. "It looks so cool," she said, almost in a whisper once they reached the end of the stairs, her eyes looking everywhere. Her eyes were observing the planets on the brass orrery, when Zyk's voice reached her ears; she looked at him, surprise written all over her face, as a faint blush spread over her cheeks, before she moved her eyes to the ground. "T-thanks," a small whisper, loud enough to be heard, left her lips, as she tried not to think too much about the Gryffindor's compliment; people often made her those kinds of compliments, even though after the summer they had started feeling bittersweet, almost fake.

Shaking those thoughts off, Lydia looked once again towards the planets made out of candy; they looked so inviting, and she felt kind of tempted to get the Earth one and the Jupiter one, but then noticed the sign that said to only take one. Feeling a little undecided, she decided to go for a red one, assuming it was supposed to be Mars. Placing the lollipop in the pocked of her hoodie, she walked slightly to the side so that everyone could get their candy; once they were all done, she followed the group and nodded at Zyk's words. "Let's go to the Divination class!"

Allie looked around as she followed her friend up the stone steps into the Astronomy Tower. This area of the castle had always seemed so magical to her, and tonight it was even more so. The stairwell had been brightened with floating candles much like the ones in the Great Hall but a little smaller. There were cobwebs as well, and a few other decorations that had been put up for Halloween.

A few steps ahead of her, Paisley had stopped walking to look up at the stars. When Allie glanced over at her, the Gryffindor gave her a smile. The Ravenclaw smiled back, feeling the meaning in her friend's expression. She was truly glad she had met the other girl this year, Paisley was a wonderful friend.

The pair reached the top of the tower. The door to the Astronomy classroom itself was shut and locked, but sitting in front of it was a small table upon which the candy had been placed. Both girls took one, and Allie smiled when she noticed that the candies were designed to look like miniature planets and moons. Following Paisley's lead, the first year picked one up and examined it more closely. She had picked the lollipop that looked like the planet Venus. She turned to her friend to see which one she had picked up. "That one's Saturn," Allie said certainly, pointing to the one her Paisley held. "It's the one with the rings." The Ravenclaw opened her hand to reveal her own. "I chose Venus," she told her with a smile.

"I can't believe how far we've come in a month. To think I didn't even know you before I came here is crazy... Thanks." The Gryffindor said suddenly. Allie blushed, touched by her friend's words. She felt the same way.

"You're one of the best parts about being here at Hogwarts," she said honestly. "I'm so glad we met." There was a small pause. After a few moments of silence, Allie stuck her lollipop into her mouth and grinned around her candy. "Let's go to the next place!" she said eagerly, leading Paisley down the stone steps they had only just come up.

LOCATION COMPLETE!

After a rather long night of running around the castle of Hogwarts to the various classrooms collecting copious amounts of candy, Theodora had finally made it to her final stop- the astronomy tower. She wasn't taking any classes in the astronomy tower this term, so it was a space she was admittedly quite unfamiliar with. However, said unfamiliarity left her in total awe of the place. The view from the tiny windows was absolutely gorgeous, and even the outside decor was beautiful. She had to keep these thoughts present in her mind so she'd remember to sign up for classes in the tower next term.

Once she finally made it up the winding stairs to the top of the tower, Theo was met with the interesting sight of the intricate and beautiful candy display. It took her a moment to even realize that's what it was. It looked so detailed and delicate that she assumed it was just an elaborate and fancy decoration rather than a display stand. Once she finally did realize what it was, Theo actually let out an audible gasp. How were candies like that even made? She knew she was only meant to take one, so it was difficult to pick which one of the beautiful candies she'd be taking. Eventually, she decided on one of the more pastel colored ones, taking it to put in her bag. She'd feel rather guilty later about eating such a pretty piece of art... Well, maybe she didn't have to feel guilty.

Looking around, Theo noticed that there really wasn't anyone around her. She was trailing a little behind, and most the students were already at the great hall for a film showing. Who would notice if she just... Took another? Just to keep and admire. Surely it wouldn't be missed, right?

The young witch turned back around, walking back up to the display before delicately reaching to take a second candy. The moment she pulled the lollipop out of the display, she was punished for it. All the frizzy stray strands of her curly hair were sent directly into the air as if static electricity was effecting it. Not the worst thing in the world... But it wasn't Theodora's favorite look. She let out a small groan, shoving the second lollipop into her bag. Whatever... At least she'd get a second candy.

After making her peace with her new look, Theodora began the journey back down to the main corridor from the astronomy tower. She had a movie to go watch!
