Open Fearing the losses

[Leena Ilves]

Leena had done her best with her costume but it was nothing like it was supposed to be. Last year, dad had promised he was going to help Leena and Leo with their Halloween costumes for school, given Leena had been looking forward to celebrating her favourite holiday with her sister and new friends for as long as she could remember. Only, things hadn't worked out that way, and now Leena felt as though her poor attempt at costume design was a reflection of the way she now felt as though with her dad gone, maybe nothing was going to feel the same anymore.

She'd told Leo she'd meet him here, not wanting him to wait on her to eventually drag herself out of the common room. It didn't help that after the recent Quidditch loss, Leena was feeling even less than impressed with herself as usual. Upon entering the Great Hall, she had to admit it was a lot more spectacular than she'd been expecting. Hogwarts really went all out in their decorations.

 

[Leo Ilves]

Leo had had this banana costume from a few years ago. Since their dad had promised to help the twins with their first costumes but hadn't been able to it was all the choice Leo had. In all honesty he was just glad he'd packed it. When Leena had told him she was going to try and dress up as a pineapple it had been what cemented the first years choice of costume.

Leo had been waiting around the entrance for his twin to make her appearance, not wanting to experience the feast alone for the first time like he had experienced a lot of other things. While it was good they were having their on separate experiences he also knew that this was Leena's favourite holiday and he wanted to spend it with her. Spotting his sister entering the great hall Leo made quick work to make his way over, he was grinning at the costume his sister had on though nobody could really see it. "Look we are matching!" He said from the behind of the fabric as he got close enough.

 

[Daviana de Lundin]

Daviana had decided on her Halloween costume early on. She was going as love. Maybe it was a costume that was more fitting for the Valentine's Day dance, but she had worked hard on it and thought it was a good idea. She supposed she could have gone as Cupid, but this was more ambiguous, and she didn't have to wear a diaper. The first year had also made a ton of glitter hearts to hand out to people as gifts.

As she found herself in the Great Hall, she saw someone dressed as a giant banana and quickly went over to deliver hearts. "Have a lovely day," she said, holding out the heart to the banana. She looked over at the girl next to the fruit and tilted her head. "Are you also a banana?" she asked curiously. The girl was dressed in yellow, but she had some green foliage on top of her head. Daviana wasn't sure she could tell her costume right off the bat.

 

[Leena Ilves]

Leena was grapeful when Leo joined her, immediately she burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of his costume. She saw him coming a mile away and moved through the crowd to join him, throwing her arms around his peel in a hug. He was probably pretty hot under that costume too, so it was quite the dedication. Leena was warm in her skirt so she could only imagine. Turning her head at another voice, she spotted the girl from her class, dressed up as.. something very pink. "I'm not a banana," Leena tried not to be offended, reminding herself that it wasn't particularly obvious. "I mean, I'm a pineapple," she adjusted the stalk on her head, smiling at Daviana. "What.. are you?" she asked, not wanting to guess incorrectly and make her feel bad about her costume.
