Open Classic Gryffindor

[Felix Layton-King]

(Open after Christa and Felix have posted a couple of times)

This time of year was a bit of a strange one for Felix. It was a reminder that during his first year, it had been at the Halloween feast that he'd met Esme, and subsequently they'd had a rollercoaster of a relationship. This year Felix hoped things would be a little different, and even though he was following his own tradition of not really dressing up for the school events, he'd at least put in a bit of effort into his outfit. By that, he'd adorned a Ravenclaw blue jacket, tie and shirt, and slicked his hair back with a lot of gel he'd found in the boys bathroom. Honestly the most terrifying part of his costume was probably how much of his forehead was currently on display.

The third year was waiting for Christa outside the Great Hall, and hoped it would be a good chance for them to get to know each other better. He'd seen her around the common room on a few occasions, and was aware she was a friend of Mania's, so perhaps they'd get on well. With his hands in his pockets, he was peering into the Halloween Feast and wondering how involved they'd be with the activities or if the focus would be more on themselves.

 

[Christa Langley]

Christa had mostly chosen to dress as a Huffelpuff because she just wasn't sure what to do honestly. She'd sort of gone as candy last year, and that had been a last minute decision because they didn't celebrate halloween much where she spent most of her time, and because they had travelled a lot, she hadn't realised it was much of a thing until she'd come to this school. She was constantly surprised by things and she often had to wonder how much of this was New Zealand and how much of it was magical. The school year was also messed up, she knew that was a magical thing because as far as she knew New Zealand school years ran the same as Australia's, which meant from mid-late January to December. But what did she know?

"HI Felix!" She'd asked to go with him because she'd attended on her own last year, and she felt like it might be nice to go with someone - he was also one of the names that had come up when she'd been talking to Nia and Rine about the cute boys in the school, she liked to think it was the curls. There was nothing wrong with putting herself out there more and sort of getting to know people was there? She wasn't sure it was correct to say she had a crush on the older boy, but he was nice, she thought, despite never having really said a word to him previously. She'd heard there was a bit of drama with him, but she didn't know much about it. "Do you think it's obvious what we are? The tie probably makes it obvious... I hope so anyway."​

Felix had done a last-minute costume to try to match Christa's theme, after they'd chatted about it in the common room. "Oh, for sure. Yours more so than mine," Since Christa had the proper Hufflepuff tie, it was even more obvious when they stood next to one another. "Do you even know anyone in Hufflepuff?" Felix asked, wondering if not, which poor soul she'd managed to convince into letting her borrow their uniform. The third year offered out his arm to the girl, eager to get into the event and to see what they could participate in.
